Volume 3 Chapter 253

Volume 3 + Chapter 253: Not Yet Finished 

The Knight King threw down the massive holy spear, determined to annihilate Heart Demon Xia Yi.

The divine judgment descended from the sky.

Heart Demon Xia Yi raised her holy sword, releasing a murderous sword intent. The holy sword imprint on her hand lit up, and the sword energy attached to the holy sword, continuously enhancing its power.

The holy sword began to extend from its normal length.

Facing the holy spear, which struck like thunder, Heart Demon Xia Yi naturally did not move. She instead chose to face the attack head-on, aiming to shatter the Knight King’s strongest strike. Only by doing so could she completely crush humanity’s morale and let them experience true despair.

“Sever everything, Gram!!”

Heart Demon Xia Yi swung her golden holy sword, over fifty meters long, slashing toward the sky.

Boom!!!

The unstoppable sword energy collided with the divine power, triggering a violent explosion. The dazzling golden light covered the entire world, everyone could see nothing but gold.

A howling storm swept through Black Swan City. In the golden energy tempest, no one could perceive the state of the battle.

The Holy Cross Formation fully supported the Knight King with holy power, while the Templar Knights continued their prayers, channeling holy power into the formation.

They prayed that the Knight King could defeat the evil dragon, just as the stories of the world praised.

The Knight King could represent humanity, writing a new chapter of epic history.

He absolutely could not lose.

If the Knight King lost, no one would be able to defeat the evil dragon.

At this moment, the Knight King bore the future of humanity on his shoulders!

“For… glory!”

“For glory!”

“Glory shall endure forever!!”

The Templar Knights sang the holy hymn.

After a full minute, the deafening roar gradually quieted, and the golden storm dissipated. Everyone’s vision slowly returned.

The battle was over.

Every Templar Knight awaited the expected conclusion.

However…

Thud!!

A heavy object fell to the ground. The Templar Knights saw the Knight King fall from the sky, collapsing into a pool of blood. His golden armor was shattered, his body pierced by sword energy, hands dangling uselessly, unable to make a sound.

The holy spear lay on the other side, stained with a trace of blood.

On the other side, Heart Demon Xia Yi was still standing.

“You actually only managed to scratch me?”

Heart Demon Xia Yi glanced at her arm, which had a thin scratch, and a disdainful sneer appeared on her face.

“To have played with me a little longer… you’re merely an adequate toy.”

Defeat.

This concept imprinted itself into the minds of all Templar Knights.

Even if the Knight King received all the blessings of the Holy Cross Formation, as the wielder of the holy spear, burning his life to unleash the ultimate strike representing humanity’s supreme combat power…

Against the true dragon, it was only enough to scratch her.

Judging by Heart Demon Xia Yi’s demeanor, she had only applied herself slightly, there was still much power she had not used, and yet the Knight King was already defeated.

As she said, the Knight King, whom the Templar Knights revered, was merely…

A toy.

At the pinnacle in the knights’ hearts, he was just a toy?

The last spark of hope in the Templar Knights’ hearts, like a dying candle in a storm of despair, was extinguished.

Heart Demon Xia Yi looked down at the ashen-faced Templar Knights. “Despair is not over yet.”

…

…

“Don’t get hurt…!”

Tia’s face was filled with worry.

“I have to catch up, I have to catch up!!”

She headed from White Swan City to Black Swan City.

Originally, after bidding farewell to Xia Yi, she intended to return to the Templar Knights’ holy land.

But suddenly, the Knight King disappeared, along with Silver Edge Knight, who was accompanying him.

Tia had a strong sense of unease.

She hurriedly asked the Templar Knights remaining in White Swan City about her grandfather’s whereabouts.

But those knights, as if under a gag order, were evasive and unwilling to tell the truth.

Tia, angry, used her authority to interrogate them. They had no choice but to reveal the truth, the Knight King and Silver Edge Knight had gone to Black Swan City.

Black Swan City was already an abandoned wasteland, frequented by magical beasts. She felt that there must be something suspicious about her grandfather’s destination.

So she set out for Black Swan City.

On the way, Tia’s holy spear imprint glowed.

It was the phenomenon of the holy spear being summoned.

Unlike the holy sword Gram, which only accepts a single wielder, the holy spear Gae Bolg can accommodate multiple wielders.

For example, the Knight King was, apart from the Knight Princess, the only other wielder of the holy spear.

Earlier, a golden storm appeared in the direction of Black Swan City. That was the Knight King summoning the holy spear to fight someone.

This made Tia even more uneasy.

“We’ve arrived!”

In Tia’s view, the abandoned Black Swan City appeared. She rushed forward at top speed.

As she approached, a strong smell of blood hit her.

Upon entering the city gates, the blonde girl froze.

Black Swan City was filled with Templar Knights’ corpses, blood flowing like rivers. Human blood dyed the entire city red. It was a disaster comparable to a catastrophe.

“Knight Princess… quick… the dragon!”

A barely conscious Templar Knight spotted the Knight Princess and reached out to grab her. But halfway, he fell into the pool of blood, lifeless.

This level of massacre, this one-sided slaughter, exceeded anything Tia had ever experienced.

She advanced deeper into Black Swan City and saw the scene she least wanted to witness.

The loli dragon, holding a holy sword, expression cold, soaked in blood, even her silver hair dyed red.

Around her were heaps of Templar Knights’ corpses.

That person was Xia Yi.

“…Why?”

Tia’s pupils trembled. Her mind went blank. She shook her head and stepped back.

The shocking truth left her unable to think.

“Hm?”

Heart Demon Xia Yi turned her head and noticed a tearful blonde girl.

She raised her holy sword, ready to unleash a sword wave.

“Are these reinforcements?”

Instinctively, Tia used holy power as a shield to deflect the sword wave. But Heart Demon Xia Yi moved behind her.

The next moment, Tia’s neck was locked by a powerful force.

“What a strange one. You have some combat ability, can deflect my sword wave, yet react so slowly.” Heart Demon Xia Yi found it odd.

“Xi-Xia Yi… why… you… ugh…!”

Tia’s eyes filled with sparkling tears.

Suppressed by the dragon’s power, she could not move and was close to suffocating, unable to speak.

Heart Demon Xia Yi grabbed Tia by the neck, lifted her with one hand, and coldly stared at the blonde girl, slowly tightening her grip, preparing to end her life.

“What a strange one. Might as well kill you.”
