Volume 3 + Chapter 252: The Sacred Duel In The Songs of The Bards

The sacred duel, recounted in the songs of bards.

The dragon race is powerful and evil, ordinary humans, in the presence of dragons, are fundamentally no match.

The evil dragon wreaks havoc in the human world, burning, killing, and pillaging, bringing misery to all living beings.

At such times, the Templar Knights will stand up and fight to protect human homes.

Even though the evil dragon is extremely powerful, the brave Templar Knights do not retreat. Under the light of glory, they advance relentlessly to battle the dragon.

The courage of humans united makes them even stronger than usual.

Ultimately, through the persistent fighting of the Templar Knights, the dragon’s stamina will be exhausted, and it will eventually fall.

This is a story even children in the human world know.

But…

Is that really the truth?

The Templar Knights in the current Black Swan City are the elite forces under Silver Edge Knight, one of the four Grand Knights, numbering tens of thousands.

Yet even the finest of the elite, facing Heart Demon Xia Yi, have already suffered casualties exceeding ten thousand.

This true evil dragon shows no signs of fatigue, not even a scratch on her body.

Under her frenzied slaughter, Black Swan City has become a sea of corpses and blood.

This is not the story humans have grown up hearing.

It is not an enemy that humans can defeat simply by uniting.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you shouting your slogans loudly anymore?”

Heart Demon Xia Yi looked at the trembling Templar Knights before her, beneath her feet lay the banners of the Templar Knights, now completely dyed red with the knights’ blood.

“Are you giving up the fight?”

“…”

The Templar Knights found it difficult even to hold their weapons.

The silver-haired girl before them is, without doubt, a god of death.

Even with the blessings of the Holy Cross Formation, after witnessing the deaths of their comrades, the courage in their hearts is gradually fading.

Silver Edge Knight at this moment can no longer command.

Charging at an unbeatable enemy is simply walking to death.

“Earth-Cleaving Slash!”

Heart Demon Xia Yi swung her weapon and struck the ground.

A massive crescent-shaped sword energy tore through the earth, causing widespread collapse, the Templar Knights beneath lost their footing and were swallowed by the sword energy.

Heart Demon Xia Yi, with effortless use of a single sword technique, had claimed the lives of thousands.

How many more sword techniques could she use?

One?

Two?

Dozens?

Hundreds?

No one knew.

All they felt was despair.

A sense of hopelessness enveloped every Templar Knight.

“Evil dragon!!”

Heart Demon Xia Yi heard a furious roar and was somewhat surprised, someone still had the will to fight at this moment?

Following the voice, she saw a knight in a pure white cloak and golden armor.

From before, this individual seemed to be watching like a spectator, now he finally joined the fray.

“Lord Knight King!!”

“It’s Lord Knight King who’s taking action!!”

“Lord Knight King, please slay the evil dragon!!”

The faint hope in the Templar Knights seemed rekindled.

After all, this was the most elite warrior in the human world, the Knight King—Knight of Glory!!

“Evil dragon, I will not allow your wickedness to continue.”

The Knight King stepped forward toward Heart Demon Xia Yi, raising his hand as the imprint of the holy spear appeared.

“Interesting.”

Heart Demon Xia Yi lifted her spirits slightly, finally seeing someone different.

Still a wielder of legendary holy arms, perhaps this one could make things slightly less boring.

“Holy Spear! Gae Bolg!!”

A golden holy spear appeared in the Knight King’s hand, radiating a sacred aura. The fierce wind whipped his cloak.

His presence and pressure already exceeded that of mortals. The holy spear emitted golden light, enveloping its shaft as if undergoing a form transformation.

Golden particles filled the sky, illuminating the blood-soaked Black Swan City.

“Lord Knight King, please save us!!”

The Templar Knights knelt together, praying with utmost devotion.

All the blessings of the Holy Cross Formation converged upon the Knight King, giving his armor a faint glow.

At this moment, the Knight King resembled the legendary hero who had sacrificed himself to defend the human world, burning his own life to awaken the holy spear.

However…

Regrettably, the Knight King was still inferior to the historical hero, he could not reach the highest awakening of the holy spear.

“Holy Spear, Release!!”

Even so, with the spear released and the faith and blessings of the knights, the Knight King’s current strength surpassed human limits, barely reaching the level of an advanced-class being.

“Do your best, struggle as you can.”

Heart Demon Xia Yi showed a contemptuous expression, gripping her holy sword and stomping on the ground.

Boom!!

The exaggerated force spread out, collapsing ruined buildings, creating explosive impacts in the pools of blood, blood spatters flew everywhere.

No one could clearly see Heart Demon Xia Yi’s movements, they had already surpassed the limits of their visual perception.

The Knight King, having exhausted his own life, saw a blurry silhouette ahead and thrust the holy spear.

“Stellar Piercing Spear!”

The holy spear collided with the holy sword.

The Knight King was pushed back, but it was only the beginning, he had already been overwhelmed by Heart Demon Xia Yi, falling into a disadvantageous position.

Against any race, dragons have absolute superiority in strength, perhaps only giants, who rely on brute power, could contest the strongest advanced-class dragons.

Others… are unworthy.

“Ugh…!”

The Knight King could not keep up with Heart Demon Xia Yi’s sword speed. Struck once, his golden armor cracked, the immense impact displaced his internal organs, and he spat blood.

As Heart Demon Xia Yi said, in her presence, even all-out knights could do nothing but struggle.

Clang, clang, clang!

Under the rapid sword strikes, the Knight King was blasted away, smashing through several buildings, falling miserably to the ground, his originally pure white cloak was stained with dust and torn by sword energy.

“You have some skill, but that’s all.” Heart Demon Xia Yi mocked.

“…Then, I will give my all!! The glory of humanity will endure forever!!”

The Knight King struggled to rise, determined to give everything. Raising the holy spear with both hands, he floated into the air, all the golden particles gathered into the spear, and shockwaves radiated from it, sweeping across every corner of Black Swan City.

From above, he looked down at Heart Demon Xia Yi on the ground.

“Deliver divine judgment! Holy Spear!!”

The Knight King threw the holy spear down, as it fell, golden holy power spread outward, forming a colossal holy shadow.

A gigantic holy spear, condensed by holy power, descended from the sky.

Lightning flashed over Black Swan City, and the winds and clouds darkened.

With the force to destroy heaven and earth, it rained divine judgment upon Heart Demon Xia Yi.

Heart Demon Xia Yi did not dodge. Facing the enormous holy spear, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly.

“Humans, remember your lives, your resistance… is worthless.”
