Volume 3 Chapter 207

Volume 3 + Chapter 207: Believe

 

Countless voices flowed from the Holy Spear into the Holy Spear’s imprint, stuffing themselves into her mind.

 

All of them were unforgettable hatreds.

 

At the same time, under Samael’s amplification of wrath, they overwhelmed the Knight Princess’s reason.

 

Anger and hatred occupied her emotions.

 

The Holy Spear, which was originally meant to protect, had its tip turned and aimed at Xia Yi.

 

The Knight Princess’s eyes changed, she gritted her teeth and tightly gripped the Holy Spear, and moved into action.

 

At this moment, Xia Yi was exerting all her strength to resist the erosion of her own will by the Legendary Beast. There was no room for even a shred of distraction, no way to spare any attention to observe the situation around her.

 

Suddenly, her body instinctively reminded her of killing intent.

 

“What?”

 

Xia Yi tilted her head slightly and saw an unexpected scene.

 

The Knight Princess was using the Holy Spear to launch an attack at her, and it was aimed straight at her vital point. Such a blow, filled with killing intent, was absolutely meant to take her life directly.

 

She did not understand—why would the Knight Princess stab her in the back?

 

“…!”

 

The moment she saw Xia Yi’s face, a trace of reason flickered in the Knight Princess’s emerald eyes.

 

Boom!

 

The spear tip of the Holy Spear veered slightly, grazing Xia Yi’s cheek and striking elsewhere.

 

No, no!

 

This won’t do!

 

Xia Yi is the one I must protect—I absolutely cannot harm her!

 

“You all… stop talking!!”

 

The Knight Princess clutched her head, knelt on the ground, and let out a pained roar.

 

She was enduring double torment.

 

“Ugh…!”

 

Xia Yi shook her head.

 

She had succeeded. At last, she used her flawless mental state to resist the invasion of the will of wrath, and now she could act freely.

 

Although she did not understand why the Knight Princess suddenly turned on her, she knew with certainty this was absolutely not her true will.

 

Seeing the Knight Princess’s current state, Xia Yi felt deep worry and wanted to move closer.

 

“Don’t come near!! Xia Yi, don’t come near me!!”

 

“I…”

 

For a moment, Xia Yi did not know what to do.

 

“Do not resist the hero’s will!”

 

“Descendant of the Human King, this is your inborn mission!”

 

“You must eradicate all dragons in this world!”

 

Clearly, the Knight Princess’s actions had already enraged the hero’s will that should have been inherited.

 

But the Knight Princess still desperately clung to her true self.

 

She even bit her own lips until they bled, crimson dripping onto the ground, unnoticed.

 

She had already promised Xia Yi to return together to the original world.

 

As a knight, she absolutely could not break her word, nor could she betray her promise.

 

What’s more…

 

“Shut up, shut up! Xia Yi is not a dragon! She is not a dragon, she is my comrade who lives and dies with me,” the Knight Princess roared, “I believe in her!!”

 

Then, she took a shocking action—for the sake of maintaining her reason, she suddenly slammed her own palm onto the Holy Spear.

 

In that instant, blood splattered, and the spear tip of the Holy Spear pierced through the Knight Princess’s palm.

 

The immense pain drowned out everything, clearing her consciousness and allowing her to regain herself.

 

“Stay away from me, Xia Yi! Now, go!”

 

The Knight Princess shouted at Xia Yi.

 

Xia Yi lowered her head.

 

Thud thud thud!

 

Several figures landed in front of the Knight Princess—they were Apostles of Calamity.

 

These monsters all fixed their gazes on the Knight Princess, radiating naked killing intent. They had completely embraced the emotion called wrath, losing all reason, desiring only to see the Knight Princess destroyed in flames of fury.

 

Samael made no move and no statement, as if silently permitting all of this.

 

“Go!”

 

The Knight Princess already had one injured hand and could only hold the Holy Spear with her other hand.

 

“…”

 

Xia Yi turned and ran, heading in the opposite direction of the Knight Princess and the Apostles of Calamity, toward the path that had been opened earlier in the sea of fire.

 

Of course, she was not choosing to escape.

 

Instead, she pulled out the golden key she carried, gripped it tightly in her small hand, and infused it with her magic.

 

The golden key shone, covering the little princess’s petite body.

 

At the same time, her black hair transformed into silver, her human eyes turned into the silver pupils of the dragon race, and the bloodline of the Silver Dragon royal family was awakened.

 

The King’s Armor!

 

After a dazzling flash of golden light, a human Sword Saint clad in golden armor appeared, holy sword imprint glowing upon the gauntlet.

 

The golden holy sword responded to the Sword Saint’s summons, appearing in the hand of the holy sword wielder.

 

The human Sword Saint grasped the holy sword with both hands, sword intent descending, continuously releasing sword aura. At the same time, he precisely controlled it, compressing all of it into the holy sword, wave after wave of charging, raising the sword’s might to its peak.

 

Boom!

 

The human Sword Saint cleaved out a golden torrent, swallowing the Apostles of Calamity standing before the Knight Princess, shattering all defenses upon their bodies.

 

In the next instant, he had almost instantly moved to stand before the Knight Princess.

 

“Tempest Sword!”

 

With one slash of the holy sword, a storm descended, blowing the enemies into the air.

 

The Knight Princess widened her eyes, hardly able to believe the sight before her.

 

“Now, Tia!!” the human Sword Saint shouted loudly.

 

That familiar voice immediately confirmed his identity to the Knight Princess. Without overthinking, she coordinated with the Sword Saint to launch her attack.

 

“Thunder of Judgment!”

 

She inverted the Holy Spear and thrust it into the ground, releasing golden lightning. The majestic energy pierced through those Apostles of Calamity who had been blown into the air.

 

The wielder of the Holy Sword and the wielder of the Holy Spear fought side by side, defeating those powerful monsters.

 

“Wright, is that you?!”

 

A smile bloomed on the Knight Princess’s face.

 

“Yes, it’s me, Tia. Sorry, I came late.”

 

From within the golden armor came a reassuring tone.

 

Reuniting with an old companion caused crystalline tears to well in the Knight Princess’s eyes. She almost broke into sobs. For a moment, countless words pressed at her lips, yet she did not know how to speak them.

 

The Sword Saint walked to the Knight Princess’s side, clasped her hand, and from the King’s Armor golden particles flew, falling upon the Knight Princess’s injured palm.

 

With the power of faith, the wound was quickly healed.

 

At the same time, this made the Knight Princess feel her conviction grow stronger, the hero’s will hidden within the Holy Spear lessening its influence upon her.

 

“Wright, how did you come here?” the Knight Princess asked.

 

“I heard you were dragged into a subspace, so I used the core of a calamity beast to trace the location in reverse, and with some methods, I pursued you here.”

 

The Knight Princess hurriedly looked around. “Where’s Xia Yi? Wright, did you see Xia Yi?”

 

“She’s in the passage, very safe,” the Sword Saint explained.

 

The Knight Princess felt something off about Wright’s words, but with the current situation, there was no time to dwell on it. She chose to believe him.

 

There was no mistake—this reliable and gentle nature could only be his.

 

“Wright.”

 

“What is it, Tia?”

 

“Just like before, let’s fight side by side.”
