Volume 3 Chapter 186

Volume 3 + Chapter 186: The Armor of The Human King

Almost no one could believe their eyes.

At such a critical moment, someone had actually stepped forward to save Hill—and the power he displayed was enough to leave everyone stunned.

It was only a single strike!

Yet those terrifying Calamity Beasts were reduced to dust in an instant.

That Holy Sword Crest was the symbol of the Human Race’s Sword Saint, and that Holy Sword radiating divine brilliance…

This was the Human Race’s Sword Saint, Wright Schubert!

In everyone’s impression, the Human Race’s Sword Saint always wore silver armor. This time, however, he appeared in golden armor. Although they didn’t know the reason, no one doubted his identity at this moment.

“D-Did I… see that wrong!?” Biden rubbed his eyes.

“…”

The fake Sword Saint who had been preparing to leave stared at the scene in utter disbelief. His pupils trembled violently. No matter how much he didn’t want to believe it, the Holy Sword Crest on his hand was throbbing with pain, resonating with the true Holy Sword Crest of the real Human Race’s Sword Saint.

That was the real Holy Sword Wielder.

Hill was so overwhelmed with emotion that she could barely control herself. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes as she choked out, “Teacher… is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me.”

From beneath the golden armor came that steady, reliable voice—just like what Hill remembered.

“I’m back.”

“Thank goodness… Teacher, you’re finally… back…”

Hill didn’t know what else to say and just kept repeating the same words over and over.

“Don’t cry. It’s my fault—I came back too late.”

The Human Race’s Sword Saint gently set Hill down and, through his gauntlet, softly patted his student’s head.

That reassuring tenderness… only her teacher could give her that.

As the student of the Human Race’s Sword Saint, she would never mistake him for anyone else.

“Hill, move to a safe spot. You’ve done very well already. Leave the rest to me.” the Sword Saint said calmly.

“Yes, Teacher!”

Hill retreated to safety.

The Human Race’s Sword Saint chose to face the oncoming army of Calamity alone.

He alone was enough.

“This ends here, Witch.”

The Sword Saint raised his Holy Sword and, across the army of calamity, pointed toward the witch Saphia, who stood upon the colossal chimera.

“I will stop your evil deeds!”

The witch’s cheeks twitched.

This completely unexpected situation was something she had never imagined.

Staring at the Sword Saint in golden armor, she was utterly perplexed.

How could a mere human possess power of this magnitude?

Impossible.

With the strength of a human, how could he so casually wipe out Calamity Beasts?

Something must be wrong.

The witch tried to probe his true nature, but beneath this armor, she could sense nothing. It was as if the golden armor shielded all of the wearer’s information, making detection impossible.

“Who… exactly are you?!” the witch demanded of the Sword Saint.

“I am the Human Race’s Sword Saint, the one and only Holy Sword Wielder—Wright Schubert!”

The Sword Saint loudly declared his title.

His voice was full of resonance, as though it spread to every corner of space. That resounding name entered every person’s ears.

“How strange… Why do we suddenly have another Sword Saint?”

“Who cares! This Sword Saint is stronger—he must be the real one! Driving back calamity and protecting humanity—only a true Holy Sword Wielder can do that!”

“Our hero has finally returned!!”

This feeling… truly made Wright—no, to be precise, Xia Yi—feel nostalgic.

Yes.

Beneath this golden armor was not Wright Schubert, but Xia Yi · Christie.

Earlier, when she was about to leave the Laurel Tree, she suddenly discovered a set of golden armor beneath it—armor exactly like that worn by the Human King in the historical records preserved by the Laurel Tree.

Staring at the Human King’s Armor, a sudden thought flashed in her mind.

Could this be… the true gift Xia Lulu left for me?

So, Xia Yi infused her own magic power into the Human King’s Armor—and it really activated.

The armor then automatically equipped itself onto her body.

Despite her petite build—by all logic, her current loli-sized frame shouldn’t have been able to wear it—the armor fit perfectly, as if it were an extension of her own limbs.

Most importantly, she was currently in her dragon form, yet the armor completely concealed her dragon aura. Somehow, it even hid her dragon tail, allowing her to move without any hindrance.

Wearing this armor even let her imitate her former voice—ah, no, her previous voice.

Perhaps Xia Lulu had specially adjusted it for her. It was practically tailor-made.

Now, Xia Yi felt like she had been given a second chance, a revival match—she could once again appear before the public in the form of the Human Race’s Sword Saint.

No one else knew that beneath this golden armor was a silver dragon loli.

Everyone believed the man standing there was the Sword Saint himself—Wright Schubert!

“What a farce! No one can halt the advance of the Will of Calamity. Kill him!!” the witch ordered.

Her calamity messengers held absolute authority over the mutated beasts and Calamity Beasts.

Although the Sword Saint’s swordsmanship instilled fear in the monsters, under the will of calamity, they regrouped and launched another attack.

The black tide surged forward once more, determined to swallow everything—like a natural disaster descending.

No human strength could resist a calamity.

The Sword Saint gripped the Holy Sword Glam, and a razor-sharp sword aura emerged, enveloping the entire battlefield. Everyone felt that supreme sword intent.

At that moment, the Sword Saint became the sole master of this domain.

“Storm Slash!”

With a fierce shout, the Sword Saint swung the Holy Sword downward, unleashing an arc of light—a massive golden sword wave descended.

Within that storm-like sword aura, both mutated beasts and Calamity Beasts were torn apart indiscriminately.

Before such pinnacle swordsmanship, absolute strength crushed everything. Nothing could withstand the Sword Saint’s raging tempest.

He split the black tide apart, cleaving it in two.

At that moment, humanity erupted in cheers.

The witch’s face twisted in shock.

The Sword Saint had shattered despair.

In everyone’s eyes, the glimmer of hope returned.

The excited Albert raised his voice and shouted loudly.

“From this moment on, everyone, stand up!!”
