Philip turned around, rolled his eyes at Fennel, and asked, “What did you do to the Dunley family?”
Fennel shrugged as he poured himself a glass of wine and said, “Nothing much, I just took Spencer Dunley down.”
Hiss!
Philip frowned and asked, “You took him down?”
Fennel nodded before shaking his head again. “It wasn’t all me. It was the battle god at your father’s side.”
“Fulton Hash?” Philip asked with a frown, “Why is he here?”
Fennel said, “To clean up the mess.”
Philip thought about it and did not dwell on the issue. He changed the topic and asked, “Was that terrifying raging energy just now because of you and Spencer? What were the two giant swords in the sky?”
Fennel thought for a while, snapped his fingers, and asked, “Do you want to know?”
Philip nodded and said, “Tell me quickly. What is it?”
Fennel pondered briefly and explained, “To summarize it simply, they’re called the Swords of Kingship. They’re special energy fields formed by the kings of disciples using their own power, also called the Swords of Damocles. They’re symbols of our identity and strength. The more battered the sword, the more power that can be used by the king of disciples. At the same time, it also means that the king of disciples will be on the verge of a possible rampage. Once that happens, the Sword of Kingship will fall, killing the king of the disciples while destroying everything around it. This is the double edged sword of the power the kings of disciples hold. Nonagon has been studying the method to counter this situation but to no avail.”
Philip frowned and felt that it was hard to accept this new information.
“Between you and Spencer, who won?” Philip asked.
“He has lost his source of kingship and has been reduced into an ordinary human,” Fennel said lightly.
“The source of kingship? What is that?” Philip asked.
