Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1103 - 822: The Exposed Doppelgänger

Just as Lilith discovered an anomaly in Solok’s palace, a figure seated on the throne in the king’s chamber raised its head.

"...Have I been discovered?"

With a murmur, the figure on the throne revealed its full form.

At a closer glance, it turned out to be Hemulinp.

Hemulinp, who was already dead, surprisingly appeared on the throne.

However, if someone familiar with Hemulinp were here, they would certainly notice something amiss.

Because the Hemulinp of ordinary days didn’t resemble the one on the throne at this moment; not only was the gaze extremely sharp and filled with edge, but the tone also carried an overbearing feeling.

"Is it Reiger Brillhaut?"

The Hemulinp on the throne began to speak to himself.

"It seems your unveiling time is earlier than anticipated."

A figure draped in a black robe suddenly appeared beside the throne and chuckled at Hemulinp.

"Indeed a bit early," Hemulinp coldly sneered, "If I had a little more time, the kingdom would have fallen completely under my control."

"What are you planning to do now?" The black-robed figure asked frivolously, as if watching the fun, "Sit back and ignore? Or take direct action?"

"Is there a need to ask?" Hemulinp replied without hesitation, "Of course take action."

"No wonder it’s you, fully defining what it means to be audacious." The black-robed figure laughed heartily, "But, don’t blame me for not reminding you, if the one who noticed something was him, capturing him might not be as easy as you think."

Hemulinp was indifferent to the black-robed figure’s cold sound.

In fact, he was already prepared.

"Don’t worry, I’ve prepared a gift for him in advance." Hemulinp said insidiously, "I believe he will find it quite surprising."

"Alright." The black-robed figure shrugged, "Then I’ll just wait and see."

After speaking, the black-robed figure swiftly vanished.

Hemulinp paid no mind to the departure of the black-robed figure and stood up.

"Come, the good show is finally about to begin."

With such joyful laughter, Hemulinp also disappeared from the throne, and behind him appeared shadowy figures; they vanished together in an instant, whereabouts unknown.

...

"Clang!"

In the spacious hall, a sudden sharp sound of metal clashing erupted, causing a surge of Qi Force to explode, blowing away numerous pieces of furniture.

Lilith’s figure swirled lightly in the gust, casually receiving the strike of the soundless and stealthy figure charging towards her, looking quite relaxed and unconcerned.

"Swish!"

The hollow-eyed "Solok" failed in one attack and swiftly darted out again, flipping his hand to hold a claw-like sharp weapon, slashing towards Lilith.

Seeing this, the charm on Lilith’s face intensified, and she raised her right hand.

That right hand had transformed, no longer a fair and soft jade hand, but rather from the elbow to the fingertip, it had turned into a terrifying demonic hand.

The hand was covered with black scales, with abnormally long nails, hardly resembling a hand, more like a fearsome weapon in appearance.

In fact, Lilith used it as a weapon.

"Clang!"

As her arm swiftly flashed, Lilith deflected the incoming strike, allowing the claw-like sharp weapon to collide with her demonic hand, striking against the hard scales, creating bright sparks.

Immediately after, Lilith’s arm flickered again, as though it could pierce through space, grabbing at the enemy before her with astonishing speed, landing on the opponent’s chest.

"Pshh!"

In the ripping sound, Lilith penetrated the chest of the person before her, the demonic hand stabbing into the heart area.

"Huh?"

At this moment, the smiling Lilith was surprised.

"No heart?"

Indeed.

The enemy before her, absolutely had no heart.

No heart, moving silently like a specter, wielding a weapon diffusing cold energy...

"I see." Lilith instantly understood and coldly sneered, "You’re not that mad dog prince."

"You are a magic puppet."

When summoned creatures are called forth by Chanters who employ Summoning Magic, they can obtain the knowledge they need through mental connections.

That’s why summoned creatures, once summoned, can immediately know what to do, understand who their master and enemy are, and can cooperate and attack the master’s opponent without being ordered.

Thanks to this, Lilith also learned of the existence of magic puppets and knew whom Reiger has faced as enemies, past and present.

Thus, when the opponent’s traits were conspicuously exposed, Lilith finally understood why the opponent’s life form and soul were so peculiar.

Because the opponent was not human but a crafted magic puppet.

"Just as the master thought, the entire country’s mad dog prince has joined hands with that mysterious organization."

Confirming this point, Lilith intended to pull back, but was stopped by the magic puppet in front.

His mask fell off, and his hands grabbed Lilith’s arm piercing his chest fiercely, preventing her retreat.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

At this instant, the sound of slicing through air attacked.

They too were magic puppets.

They concealed themselves around, seizing the moment Lilith was restrained by Solok’s substitute, launching an ambush on the spot.
