Volume 4 Chapter 257
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 257: The Resolve To Fight
The Holy Sword’s brand appeared on Xia Yi’s hand. Beneath the golden light, the Holy Sword Gram was summoned by her.
“I will use every means at my disposal here to defeat you.”
Facing the invincible Vampire Ancestor, she made this declaration.
“Defeat me?”
Upon hearing these words, Elizabeth was taken aback.
Perhaps it was simply too absurd, making her unable to hold back her laughter.
“Hahaha!”
“Hahahaha!!”
“Hahahahahaha!!!”
The Vampire Ancestor laughed until tears nearly streamed from her eyes. This was perhaps the most exaggerated joke she had ever heard in her life.
“Xia Yiyi, are you serious? Actually thinking of defeating me? That’s completely impossible! Do you know how vast the gap in power between us is? It’s like the difference between a human and an ant!”
“Say whatever you want, bad woman.”
Not the slightest trace of wavering flickered on Xia Yi’s face. Instead, she was remarkably calm.
A firm will was evident in her silver eyes.
Even knowing what the outcome of her actions might ultimately be, she would fight with every ounce of her strength.
In Wright’s past experiences, he had also encountered seemingly unbeatable enemies, far more powerful than himself. In anyone’s eyes, Wright’s challenge was no different from seeking death.
Yet, it was precisely in such battles that Wright clawed his way out of the abyss of death time and again. Relying on his will of steel and clear sword heart, he achieved final victory, becoming the human Sword Saint known to the world.
When he went to challenge the Silver Dragon Queen in the Dragon Kingdom, Wright still did not retreat due to fear.
This time would be the same.
Xia Yi certainly knew the vast gap in strength between herself and Elizabeth, to the point of being almost despair-inducing.
But she still gripped the sword in her hand, just as before, determined to fight to the last moment.
Even if, like a moth drawn to flame, she would not hesitate.
“Xia Yiyi’s naive cuteness really hasn’t changed a bit. Have you been reading too many manga? Really thinking you can create miracles…”
Swish!
Before Elizabeth’s sarcasm could finish, she felt a chill on her arm.
Immediately after, an impassioned sword aura erupted on the surface of the Blood Sea. A flash of golden sword light sliced through, severing her arm.
This was the Holy Sword’s special attack against dark creatures.
No matter how many eras passed, the Holy Sword’s suppression against vampires would not change.
Elizabeth frowned, preparing to launch an attack against Xia Yi, when she discovered that the spot where Xia Yi had been standing now bore only a fading ripple, her figure had already vanished.
Then, footprints like dragonflies skimming the water continuously appeared on the surface of the Blood Sea.
Xia Yi had elevated the Sword Saint’s movement techniques to their peak, to the point where even the naked eye could no longer track her.
Elizabeth was judging by connecting all the rippling locations, deducing that Xia Yi intended to attack from the flank.
But less than half a second after this thought emerged, she realized something.
This habitual way of thinking could very likely be a trap set by Xia Yi.
The real attack should come from her blind spot…
From behind!
“Blood Magic · Blood Spear!”
Elizabeth performed a counter-intuitive action. She used her own blood to mold a blood spear and hurled it behind her.
Sure enough, a figure appeared right behind her, and the strike landed accurately upon it.
Xia Yi absolutely could not withstand this blow.
However, contrary to the Vampire Ancestor’s expectations, the massive figure that appeared in her field of vision was…
The golden Human King Armor!
While approaching Elizabeth, Xia Yi had simultaneously initiated the summoning of the Human King Armor, completing its full-body possession state upon closing the distance.
Boom!
Elizabeth’s blood spear struck the Human King Armor. The eruption of bloody energy disintegrated the armor. Its violent impact nearly robbed Xia Yi of her consciousness, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
But this was also Xia Yi’s goal. She only needed the Human King Armor to help her block this extremely crucial strike, creating an opportunity for her own attack.
The little princess gritted her teeth, enduring the pain that threatened to scatter her consciousness, her mental state entering a flawless condition.
A faint glow shimmered in her silver eyes as the Silver Dragon Royal Family’s bloodline activated.
Driven by her clear sword heart, she unleashed a slash towards Elizabeth that seemed capable of tearing through space.
“Die, Elizabeth!!”
Xia Yi’s sword pierced through Elizabeth’s body.
The Holy Sword’s sword energy rapidly burned the Vampire Ancestor’s body.
This was already the limit the Sword Saint could achieve, exploiting the enemy’s underestimation, playing her trump card, exhausting every ounce of her skill, and after multiple layers of calculation, delivering a fatal blow.
Only…
“Truly astonishing, Xia Yiyi. Judging by mortal standards, the fact that you could injure me to this extent is enough to be proud of,” Elizabeth said. “I acknowledge your swordsmanship. It is indeed extraordinary.”
“What…?”
Xia Yi’s eyes widened.
A divine halo manifested upon Elizabeth’s body.
This blow had not taken her life. At the final moment, she had managed a degree of evasion, causing the Holy Sword’s attack to miss her fatal heart.
“Primordial Blood Magic · Burning Blood Body.”
Thud!
Elizabeth set her own Blood Sea into a burning state, trading it for an extremely terrifying ability. She raised her arm and struck Xia Yi’s soft, petite body.
A completely unreasonable force sent Xia Yi flying like a rubber ball, landing awkwardly on the Blood Sea.
In the next instant, all injuries on Elizabeth’s body were completely repaired, including her severed arm.
Xia Yi’s only chance for victory was to use her peak swordsmanship to pierce the vampire’s vital point before Elizabeth could deploy her Blood Divine Authority.
Now, that chance for victory is gone.
“It seems your fighting will is indeed quite serious. To devise such tactics is truly not simple. Unfortunately, your enemy happens to be me. Any of your tactics hold no meaning before me once I employ my Blood Divine Authority,” Elizabeth said.
Her power, compared to the Mythic Era, was not at its peak, there was even a certain gap.
But in the current era, she could stride across the land unimpeded.
“Dammit…”
Xia Yi’s breathing began to grow disordered.
For a swordsman, this was a major taboo, a sign of being at a disadvantage, the beginning of the path towards defeat.
Nevertheless, she climbed to her feet, preparing to continue fighting.
“Xia Yiyi, do you have any other means? If not, I’m going to start letting you experience the consequences of angering me~”
