The underworld queen come back and slays novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Out Of Her Mind

Raven’s voice wasn’t loud, but it struck the courtyard like a thunderclap from the heavens, crashing straight into everyone’s mind.

For a moment, the entire crowd stood frozen, stunned into silence.

They couldn’t believe what they’d just heard.

Kill… a King Warrior? As a sacrifice?

Had she lost her mind?

Even Benson’s face turned grim, his gaze locking onto Raven with a darkness that seemed to suck the warmth from the air.

His voice was low and sharp as a whip crack. “Shut your

mouth.”

He had never in his life seen a woman this ignorant of death.

Did she even understand what a King Warrior was?

Ordinary weapons couldn’t even scratch someone at that level.

The only way to truly injure one was to unleash city–level, wide–scale annihilation weapons–ones that would leave a metropolis in ashes.

And yet, here she was, treating such a figure like cannon fodder, casually talking about killing him, as if she were ordering a drink.

Was she delusional? She wanted to die? Fine. But dragging the entire city of Regalhold down with her?

Even as Benson’s glare grew murderous, the Sunset Empire’s commander suddenly chuckled–a cold, razor–edged laugh that sent shivers down the crowd’s spine. “Ten days? That’s generous,” he said. “I could kill you right now.”

As the words left his lips, a suffocating pressure radiated outward from his body. The very air twisted, thick with killing intent.

Fear rippled through the crowd like a tidal wave. Faces paled. Some even took an involuntary step back.

A King Warrior’s presence was utterly overwhelming.

Even Edric, who had held great hope for Raven, found his brow tightening.

As impressive as she was, it was nearly impossible to believe someone of her had truly stepped into the realm of King Warriors. And if she hadn’t… then her provocation wasn’t just reckless–it was suicide.

age

Benson, too, stiffened. His gaze snapped to Raven, and his tone turned lethal. “Mr. Ortega may not be a Vyrdenian citizen, but his rank in Sunset Empire is equivalent to that of a general. You–an acting officer–just threatened to assassinate a superior. According to military law, that’s punishable by death.”

their own countrymen.

When she still didn’t speak, Benson’s face darkened further. “Did you not hear my

command?”

Raven finally smiled–but it wasn’t one of amusement.

It was bitter, cutting, and full of venom.

“For the longest time,” she said quietly, “I wondered why Vyrdenia wins every war abroad… but still commands no respect from its enemies.”

Her gaze turned razor–sharp.

“Now I know.” She paused, her voice dropping to a blade’s edge.

“It’s because there are too many spineless cowards in the military–like you–who kneel to the very butchers that slaughtered our people.”
