Volume 6 Chapter 130
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 130: Escape Into The Crowd
“Death Envoy, look here…”
Xia Yi slowly stood up and extended her hand.
She certainly had no soul data to present, nor could she produce any.
Under these circumstances, she was bound to be exposed.
So there was only one choice.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
The Death Envoy stared at Xia Yi’s palm, very confused.
“Why don’t I see a single soul data?”
“Human King Armor, activate the lighting system at maximum power!” Xia Yi commanded.
In an instant, the gauntlet on her palm erupted with blinding white light, filling the entire coffee shop and overwhelming the vision of both Envoys.
“My eyes!”
The Death Envoy covered his eyes and staggered back several steps.
This was not merely light, it also carried the sacred energy of the Human King Armor, which was extremely effective against the undead race.
He felt as if his eyes were being burned blind, he couldn’t see anything clearly, only a vast whiteness.
“Goodbye~”
Xia Yi vaulted over the table, used her agility, and dashed out of the coffee shop.
“That is not the Human Envoy!”
The Death Envoy came to his senses and also rushed out of the coffee shop.
The little trick Xia Yi had used could only hinder the Envoys for a moment at best, buying herself a small chance to escape.
“Don’t run!”
The Death Envoy floated like a ghost, chasing closely behind Xia Yi.
“Scythe of the Dead!”
He raised his hand and condensed a black scythe dripping with deathly aura, then swung it at the golden-armored swordswoman.
Swish!
That slash from the Death Envoy shattered every pane of glass on the street and ripped up the stone paving. The pitch-black strike landed on Xia Yi.
“Ugh…!”
Xia Yi grunted and was sent flying.
The defensive capabilities of the Human King Armor absorbed most of the damage, leaving her body only somewhat shaken.
Mid-air, she adjusted her posture, landed using momentum, rolled to dissipate the impact, and promptly got back to her feet.
“Over there, there seem to be a lot of people. Are they holding some kind of event?”
From one direction, Xia Yi heard a great deal of noise.
After a moment’s thought, she stepped onto a tall building in front and rushed toward the rooftop.
“Wave of Lost Souls!”
The Death Envoy followed closely, swinging his scythe in a circle and summoning numerous lost souls.
The purple, death-bound spirit forms let out miserable wails. Their hatred, saturated with negative emotions, caused the building itself to tremble and sway.
These lost souls, capable of tearing powerful beings apart, all lunged at Xia Yi.
Chantless Casting, Multi-Layered Ice Magic Shield!
Xia Yi turned around and used the bloodline power of the Silver Dragon King, unleashing multiple layers of ice magic shields without the need for incantation.
The lost souls collided head-on with the magic shields. The clash between the power of the dead and magic force exploded into snow dust filling the air.
Using the snow dust as cover, Xia Yi successfully reached the rooftop. Without a moment’s hesitation, she took a big stride forward and leaped into the air.
What came into her field of vision was a procession of people.
The inhabitants of the Maginot Fortress were cheering and celebrating around a squad of Maginot soldiers. Triumphant music played, drowning out the sounds of the earlier battle so that no one had noticed the fight on the rooftop.
“The heroes are back!”
“They’ve brought back the corpses of Calamity Beasts!”
“To break out even while surrounded by Calamity Beasts, that’s the strength of the Hero Squad!”
Xia Yi jumped down toward the crowd, descending as fast as she could.
The moment her feet touched the ground, she immediately dismissed the Human King Armor’s manifestation and plunged into the throng.
She moved along with the people, following the parade.
“Gone?!”
When the Death Envoy arrived at the rooftop, the golden armor figure was nowhere to be seen.
On the street below were the triumphant Maginot Hero Squad and the large crowd.
It was certain that the imposter of the Human Envoy had mixed into the crowd, how else could he have vanished so quickly?
Even so, there wasn’t much he could do. After all, he had no idea who was playing the role of the Human Envoy.
Now that the target had escaped into the crowd, how could he possibly find them?
“Hehehe, now you can’t find me~”
Hidden among the crowd, Xia Yi glanced at the Death Envoy on the high building with a smirk.
All she had to do next was leave safely with the crowd.
“To resort to such tactics…”
The Death Envoy grew increasingly irritated.
He looked at the ordinary people below and gradually realized something.
On second thought, why did he have to single out the Human Envoy impostor?
Knowing that the impostor was somewhere in the crowd was enough.
If he killed everyone here, what did it matter whether he found the impostor or not?
The Death Envoy raised his scythe. The once bright sky slowly turned overcast.
Just as he was about to unleash a terrible move to reap all their lives, a flying ice sword struck his scythe.
“Hmm?”
The Death Envoy turned and saw the Dragon Envoy not far behind him.
He became displeased.
“Dragon Envoy, what is the meaning of this?”
“What do you mean by that?” the Dragon Envoy countered. “You were about to slaughter everyone here.”
“Don’t you understand what I’m trying to do?”
“One thing is one thing. That has nothing to do with you killing everyone,” the Dragon Envoy reminded calmly. “Don’t forget, the Envoy’s duty is to cleanse errors, not to actively cause chaos.”
“Dragon Envoy, did you do this on purpose? You clearly knew it was an impostor, yet you revealed so many critical secrets, including information related to the Queen!”
“Huh? That was an impostor? I had no idea,” the Dragon Envoy said, feigning surprise. “The acting was so good, I didn’t notice a thing~”
“…”
The Death Envoy withdrew his scythe. Through the shadows beneath his hood, he cast a bone-chilling glare at the Dragon Envoy, clearly holding great resentment, even hostility, toward her.
But he chose not to strike here. After all, before the Queen, the Envoys had sworn not to fight one another.
Finally, his body faded, gradually disappearing as he left.
“He’s finally gone.”
The Dragon Envoy walked step by step to the edge of the high building. She looked down and spotted a small silver figure among the crowd.
The silver-haired dragon-eared girl’s lips curled upward.
“That was definitely Chantless Casting just now…”
