Chapter 878 -873: One Against Three Heroes!
After devouring the Heroic Spirits, the strength of the eleven knights surged, and their attacks grew more ferocious, yet the Guardians of Eden held their ground without a hint of faltering.
Having survived for so many years, although they lacked combat, their comprehension of the laws had deepened. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
With the ascension of the world, they, along with Aleta, had all advanced to become Mythical Creatures.
Though they were not as powerful as Aleta, they were not comparable to ordinary myths.
It was for this reason that all eleven Guardians consciously controlled the pace of the battle, leading the enemy away from Bai Qiucha’s fighting area while maintaining a position where they could support at any moment.
However, Bai Qiucha might not need their support.
Facing the inhuman methods of attack from the three individuals, Bai Qiucha was not at a disadvantage at all. His Double Blades seemed to become an extension of his body, attacking any target he desired at will.
Charles and his two companions naturally felt the pressure, but neither the invisible Sword in Stone, the fierce Thunderbolt, nor the agile and ferocious spear could break through the blockade of the Double Blades.
Instead, they were in a sorry state when faced with the Five Elements Thunder and the vast energy onslaught that Bai Qiucha released during his slicing attacks.
“I have fully absorbed the power of the Heroic Spirits, why am I not your match!” Charles could no longer maintain the smile on his face and shouted in questioning.
“The moment you desecrated your ancestors, you had already lost,” Bai Qiucha said coldly, striking the Sword in Stone and sending it flying. It made a mournful humming sound as it heavily landed on the ground.
Seeing this, Charles immediately withdrew, allowing the other two to block Bai Qiucha while he himself rushed towards the Sword in Stone, attempting to attack again.
But this time, Charles couldn’t pull out the Sword in Stone. It had barely entered the ground but seemed welded to the earth, with Charles unable to remove it no matter how hard he tried.
“The Sword in Stone isn’t meant to be drawn by someone like you,” Bai Qiucha said with a sneer on his face, as he swung his Double Blades and sent the other two heads of the families flying.
Unlike the Brita family, the Heroic Spirits of the other two great families were born from the power of faith, their strength significantly weaker than that of Charles.
After being struck by Bai Qiucha’s Thunderbolt attack, they already showed signs of their power crumbling.
Adding Charles, who could not even pull out his weapon, the fight one against three seemed to end with an extremely relaxed momentum.
“It’s just a lack of weapons, I am still a Mythical Creature, what can you do to me!” Charles, having tried for a long time and unable to pull it out, simply gave up and condensed a long sword out of the power of the Heroic Spirits, and the other two heads of the families stood by him once more.
However, Charles’s mad deed caught them off guard. As the two coordinated with Charles’s attack, Charles’s hands suddenly pierced through their bodies and, under their dazed gaze, gouged out their Heroic Spirits.
Afterwards, Charles opened his mouth wide and swallowed the two Heroic Spirits together.
“This guy has gone crazy. Absorbing three Heroic Spirits at the same time, and all of Mythical Level, isn’t this bound to burst him?” the Eternal Night Blood Emperor gasped.
The Demon-subduing Venerable God saw Charles’s intention.
“He will indeed die, but before he does, he might kill all of us,” he said.
Not just the Demon-subduing Venerable God, but Nicholas also realized the crux of the matter and, without caring to conserve strength, rushed out.
Bai Qiucha was Bai Qi’s friend, and also his. He didn’t want to watch a friend die for a battle that had not yet begun.
However, before Nicholas could arrive, Bai Qiucha had already ended the battle.
Bai Qiucha stepped forward, moving toward Charles with each step. Even as Charles’s aura rapidly climbed, surpassing all the mythicals present, he still did not stop.
When he passed by the Sword in Stone, Bai Qiucha transferred the long sword in his right hand to his left and gently pulled it out, the Sword in Stone came out smoothly, tightly grasped in Bai Qiucha’s hand.
The whole process was effortless and smooth, as if the Sword in Stone had actively flown into Bai Qiucha’s hand.
“I told you, you’ve already lost,” Bai Qiucha stated, unfazed by having drawn the Sword in Stone, merely holding the sword with both hands, as the Double Blades slowly merged into it.
And Charles, who had been overwhelming with the power of the Heroic Spirits, began to retreat in panic after seeing Bai Qiucha pull out the Sword in Stone.
“Impossible, impossible, you were supposed to have been devoured by me!” the powerful force couldn’t suppress the fear in Charles’s heart. In his eyes, behind Bai Qiucha, the ancestors of the Brita family appeared one after another, all looking at him with disappointed eyes.
And the most conspicuous among them was naturally the first ancestor of the Briya family, the owner of the Sword in Stone, Arthur Blyta.
“Hahaha… Disappointed? As long as I devour you too, then there will be no one left to feel disappointed!” perhaps overcome with fear, Charles burst into mad laughter, his shape completely twisted, transforming into a monstrous figure as he charged at Bai Qiucha.
By then, Bai Qiucha had already raised the long sword in his hand.
And then…
He swung mightily!
There were no sword qi streaking across the sky, no miraculous phenomena descending from heaven, just countless Heroic Spirits swinging their swords along with Bai Qiucha.
And Charles split in two from the middle, crashing to the ground in halves.
The Charles capable of obliterating all life present was actually slain by Bai Qiucha with a single sword strike!
Huff… huff… huff…
After delivering that sword strike, Bai Qiucha’s body went limp, barely propping himself up with the Sword in Stone to ensure he wouldn’t fall, while he gasped for breath with great effort.
This sword strike had consolidated all his vigor, essence, and spirit, along with the power of the Blue Dragon and the Thunder Slayer. All powers had been exhausted, except the Blue Dragon still retained its Guardian Power.
“Bai Qiucha, you’re too impulsive, you could have completely dealt with him using the Guardian Wheel,”
Aleta immediately rushed to Bai Qiucha’s side, along with Nicholas, to heal him.
“I know, but the Guardian Wheel needed to be saved for the most crucial moment.”
After absorbing the Life Force from Aleta and the Jade Power from Nicholas, Bai Qiucha’s complexion looked much better, but he was still extremely weak.
“I understand your thinking, but regardless of what power, you need to be alive to use it!”
Aleta glared fiercely at Bai Qiucha and increased the pace of her healing, while Bai Qiucha, who had caught his breath, also sat down cross-legged, using the Dragon Tamer Curse Mark to begin restoring his strength.
The Dragon Tamer’s talent allowed for swift recovery as long as there were giant dragons around.
After Bai Qiucha dealt with Charles, the other Guardians successively dealt with their enemies and returned to Bai Qi’s side, curiously eyeing the Sword in Stone that Bai Qiucha had in front of him.
“The Myth says only a true king can pull out the Sword in Stone, does that mean you’re aiming to be king, Bai Qiucha?”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor circled around the Sword in Stone, finally couldn’t resist, and tried to pull it out.
As expected, the Sword in Stone did not budge.
“This thing really does choose its master, huh…”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor squarely admitted defeat, his eyes rolling around before he suddenly approached the Demon-subduing Venerable God, saying, “Wu, you want to give it a shot?”
“Forget it, I don’t have the makings of a king.”
The Demon-subduing Venerable God shook his head, turning down the offer from the Eternal Night Blood Emperor, who did not give up and continued to persuade.
As a result, a few Guardians indeed wanted to give it a try, and naturally, they all failed.
“The Sword in Stone is likely also transformed from a Mythical Creature and very possibly a Top-level Myth, so there’s no point in you all trying,”
The Cowskin Snake seemed to recall something, looking at the few with disdain, as if to scoff at their overestimation of themselves.
“You say that, but could you move your tail away from the Sword in Stone first?”
The corner of the Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s mouth twitched, directly exposing the Cowskin Snake’s thought, who immediately became angry and charged to fight to the death with the Eternal Night Blood Emperor.
As the dragon and the cat wrestled, the Cowskin Snake quickly gained the upper hand, but just as it prepared to teach the orange cat an unforgettable lesson, it suddenly stopped and turned to look westward.
Then, Aleta and the others also sensed the anomaly and looked in the same direction.
Within the black clouds, a gigantic serpent was winding its way towards them. Had its presence not been so evident, they could hardly discern the existence of that creature.
Death Avatar·Black Fog Serpent!
“The Death State indeed wouldn’t leave the battlefield entirely to the Three Great Families,”
Aleta stepped in front of Bai Qiucha, watching the Black Fog Serpent getting closer and closer, with a red light flashing in her eyes.
Nicholas and the other dragons also stepped forward, even the Blue Dragon did the same.
The Five-Colored Giant Dragon stood together like a colored wall, shielding Bai Qiucha and the others behind them.
“I can still launch one more attack; let me do it,”
Bai Qiucha said immediately, intending to stand up, but was forcibly pushed back by the intense pain that shot through his body and soul.
“You and Bai Yuxiao have done well enough, let us handle the rest,”
With a flicker in her eyes, Aleta’s Guardian Wheel broke free from Bai Qiucha’s control, hovering in front of the Guardian Dragons, whose bodies began to emit a powerful aura.
Guardian Power, the last ace of the dragon tribe.
“We’ll have to report to my father ahead of time,”
Bai Qiucha sighed helplessly. The Guardian Power was their trump card against the Death God Sam, which, if not for fear of mishaps, might have even been saved for later use.
Yet, they had to employ it prematurely in the end.
Just then, a sun and a moon suddenly appeared in the sky, making everything around seem unreal, even distancing the Black Fog Serpent a bit.
Subsequently, as the sun and moon shone together, gold and silver rays turned tangible, coursing through the sky, slowly tracing the shape of an Insect Dragon.
“Honored forebears, may I give it a try?”
