Volume 3 Chapter 194

Volume 3 + Chapter 194: The Arrival of The Knight Princess

The Apostle of Calamity, which had evolved into a Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast, was rampaging inside Laurel Tree Academy, and not a single human was its match.

The Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast was like the embodiment of death itself—no one could stop it.

Even Laurel Tree Academy’s strongest measure, the Endless Rainbow Light Magic Array, had been forcibly shut down by the Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast.

Having lost every means of resistance, stripped of all power to fight back, humanity sank into despair.

Then, a golden light appeared.

Everyone inside Laurel Tree Academy lifted their heads toward the night sky and saw a golden meteor descending from the heavens.

It dispersed the darkness of the night, the world at that moment was as bright as day.

Everyone was bathed in the golden light, and it seemed as if all the fear that the calamity had brought vanished without a trace.

Hope once again surfaced in their hearts.

People did not understand—why did they feel this way…?

It was as though their spirits were uplifted, similar to when the Human Sword Saint appeared just moments ago—almost the same.

“Ugh—ahhh!!”

The Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast also halted its movements, turning toward the meteor in the sky, displaying clear disgust.

The aura of calamity showed intense repulsion toward the golden light, as if they were utterly incompatible, like water and fire.

“That light… could it be…!!”

Albert’s expression changed, then broke into laughter.

“That must be the light of the Holy Spear!!”

The Holy Spear.

Those two words carried weight in the human world no less than the Holy Sword itself.

The wielder of the Holy Spear was a hero as widely known as the Human Sword Saint—a name known to every man, woman, and child across the human realm—

The Knight Princess of the Templar Order.

The golden meteor fell from the heavens, drawing ever closer to Laurel Tree Academy, its target none other than the Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast.

The Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast roared in fury. From its bloated body, thousands upon thousands of monstrous heads opened their mouths in unison and let out the same kind of roar that had earlier halted the Endless Rainbow Light Magic Array.

The shockwave of sound tried to shatter the meteor.

However, the Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast’s attack could not shake the golden light. The meteor struck squarely upon that monstrously hideous body.

BOOM!!!

A dazzling light exploded forth, its halo sweeping across the skies above Laurel Tree Academy and spreading far into the distance.

“Awooooarrrrghhhh!!”

The Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast let out a cry of agony. Its mountain-like body had its defenses pierced by the meteor and was toppled by the impact. The energy of the Holy Spear poured forth in a torrent, and the sacred radiance, like searing flames, wrapped around the Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast, setting it ablaze.

Such a heaven-shaking strike somehow harmed the Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast without dragging the humans present into the blast.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

This was no less powerful than the golden slash that the Human Sword Saint had unleashed earlier to cut through the Calamity Legion.

“That… that’s…!!”

Albert pointed toward a spot and leapt with excitement.

Everyone turned to look. As the brilliance of the explosion gradually faded, a flag was seen fluttering in the wind—a majestic lion stood tall in its center, with a lance and a sword crossed behind it.

Upon seeing that flag, Xia Yi was instantly reminded of a time in the past.

It was when she had gone to the Frost family’s estate, meeting her former fiancee for the first time.

Back then, her fiancee had left a profound impression on her.

And now, the one holding the Frost family’s banner was a knight clad in full, head-to-toe golden armor.

So many years had passed, yet she seemed nearly the same as before—the golden armor still so petite, and she had hardly grown taller at all.

But in the way she held that family banner, she was still as gallant and majestic as ever, radiating an aura of inviolable authority.

She was—

The Knight Princess.

The Knight Princess descended into Laurel Tree Academy, holding the banner and standing before everyone, facing the overwhelming calamity.

The crowd erupted into thunderous cheers.

The appearance of a hero always lifts the spirit of all who see it.

Just like when the Human Sword Saint had struck in the most desperate hour.

“It’s Lady Knight Princess! Lady Knight Princess has made her move!!”

“Lady Knight Princess just now—she actually drove back that terrifying monster! Unbelievable!!”

“This is even more powerful than the legends! We’re saved—we’re truly saved!!”

The Knight Princess and the Human Sword Saint were a bit different.

The Human Sword Saint often attended various events, as both a human hero and a spiritual icon, always active in the public eye.

The Knight Princess, however, rarely appeared before the public and almost never attended promotional events.

Yet, the Knight Princess had repeatedly stepped forward as a representative of the Templar Order whenever humanity faced dire crises, leading knights to resist calamities and protect mankind—thus earning her the title of a hero whose name resounded across the human world.

Therefore, seeing the Knight Princess here today—how could anyone not be excited?

“She is… teacher’s fiancee?” Hill murmured softly.

“…”

Xia Yi stared at the Knight Princess, her feelings deeply complicated, memories flooding back.

When she set out to subjugate the Silver Dragon Queen, the family had deliberately ordered her not to bid farewell to her fiancee.

Wright Schubert had departed for the Dragon’s Domain without a word, never getting to see the Knight Princess even once.

Almost six years had passed. Now she had returned to the human world and saw the Knight Princess again—only to find herself turned into a loli…

What kind of joke was this?!

“Lady Knight Princess!!”

Many people waved their arms and shouted as though greeting their idol.

But at this moment, the Knight Princess stood in full battle readiness, greeting no one, all her focus fixed on the battle ahead.

“Unbelievable… First, we saw the real Sword Saint put that impostor in his place and drive back the calamity, and now the Knight Princess has appeared… Maybe the Human Sword Saint has sensed the crisis and is hurrying back! We might witness the reunion of the Sword Saint and the Knight Princess!!”

Someone could not help but exclaim.

“The real… Sword Saint?”

The Knight Princess repeated those words in astonishment, hardly able to believe what she had just heard.

“Has he… returned?”

All of a sudden, Xia Yi sensed an abnormal fluctuation—it came from Witch Saphia!

As the core of the calamity beast, the witch seemed to be controlling the Flesh-Mountain Calamity Beast, gathering power for an incredibly terrifying attack. The aura of calamity was thicker than ever before.

Because others had never directly confronted calamity, they could not sense its full severity as Xia Yi could, they had no way of understanding the level of danger.

The next strike would definitely surpass every attack that had come before.

The little Dragon Princess was extremely anxious, and she blurted out instinctively toward the Knight Princess.

“Tia, watch out for the witch’s attack!!!”

When the Knight Princess heard the name “Tia,” her eyes turned toward Xia Yi. For that instant, their gazes met as if time itself had frozen.

But as a hero of humanity, with unparalleled combat instincts, the Knight Princess made her decision the moment she heard the warning, pouring her full focus into battle.

She drove the family banner into the ground and whispered softly.

“Holy Spear—release.”
