Chapter 40 - 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40

'No,'

'No,'

'Why, why did we encounter such a monster?!'

'my life can't end just like this...'

Looking at her several comrades who had already perished miserably, the scattered limbs and remains on the ground, and the vicious beast before her, Galena's body shook uncontrollably.

Even gripping her sword tightly was a struggle.

Facing the impending death,

Galena finally understood the warnings of the veteran knights.

Compared to the ordinary Abyssal Beasts they had faced on previous missions; the Abyssal Beasts in the Northern Territory were the true Abyssal Beasts.

Although she knew that the Temple of Demons would amplify the power of Abyssal Beasts, she never anticipated that the enhancement would be so terrifying.

No wonder every previous crusade ended in failure...

'I, I don't want to die, I don't want to die,'

As the devastating punch approached, Galena felt great despair in her heart.

With her holy power nearly exhausted, she had no strength to resist such a powerful attack from the Abyssal Beast.

Deep down, she knew that if she was hit,

She would meet the same fate as Kakalo,

And become another pile of rotten flesh on the plain.

Fear and despair turned into shackles that bound Galena tightly in place, leaving her unable to move, let alone dodge the attack. The dark cloud of despair enveloped the female knight, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

Resigned, she prepared to wait for the Reaper to claim her soul.

However,

Just as the Abyssal Demon's punch was about to strike Galena's head, a familiar, gentle, and utterly reliable voice suddenly rang in her ear,

"Get down, Galena!!"

'??!!'

This, this voice,

'Mengxi?!'

"Captain!!"

Upon hearing the melodious and beautiful voice like a silver bell, Galena's body shivered, and a surge of ecstatic joy erupted uncontrollably, instantly occupying her heart! The sudden words from the young girl were like the rays of the scorching sun, dispelling the despair in Galena's heart! They brought hope of life.

In the midst of battle, getting down like that

Was undoubtedly an insulting act for a knight.

But after hearing the instruction from the silver-haired girl,

Galena chose to obey without hesitation! With the chains of fear that bound her actions torn apart, Galena's movement was exceptionally fluid! She got down directly, even pulling down the slightly dazed pink-haired girl behind her, both lying in the snow! Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

The Abyssal Beast's punch, blazing with the eerie flames of hell, swept just over their heads!

Silver light flickered! The four silver longswords shot toward the four abyss demons like unleashed beasts, accompanied by an indescribable sense of oppression! It didn't come from the holy power but from something deeper!

Sensing the imminent danger, the abyss demons couldn't help but raise their heads, ceasing their attempts to tear apart the chains. They looked toward the silver-haired girl in the distance,

And as they looked up, they faced the silver longswords flying straight toward them.

"pu~~"

With a splatter of blood, the four longswords accurately pierced the heads of the abyss demons.

The black flames of hell burning around the demons suddenly dissipated.

Along with the dissipation, the revolting dark aura of the demons, as well as their life force, vanished.

"Boom~"

With a loud crash, the four abyss demons fell lifelessly onto the snow-covered ground. Their nauseating black blood stained the surrounding pristine land...

At that moment,

The nearby knights of the Asumos Church and the rescued slaves burst into earth-shaking cheers! The exhilarating roars echoed across the plains.

The elation of survival left everyone in a state of emotional turmoil that lasted for quite some time!

Everyone,

Directed their admiring gazes toward the valiant silver-haired girl.

Yet, in the face of the increasingly impassioned cheers,

The silver-haired girl remained indifferent. She waved her hand symbolically to quiet the crowd, then turned her attention to the female knight, Galena, who was standing nearby.

" did you get hurt!?"

The girl's voice was filled with concern.

Upon hearing this,

Galena, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Her long-tense heart instantly relaxed, and she suddenly threw her arms around the silver-haired girl's waist.

"Waaaaah!! Captain! You finally came!! I thought I would never see the sun again!! Waaaaah!!"

"There, there. It's okay now, don't cry."

Mengxi patted Garona's head and comforted her softly.

Meanwhile,

Mengxi's gaze gradually locked onto the pink-haired slave girl standing up behind Galena. The moment she saw the pink-haired girl,

As if sensing something or making a judgment, Mengxi's eyes suddenly turned icy cold.

Her murderous gaze made the pink-haired girl shiver.

In the next moment,

Under the bewildered gaze of the pink-haired girl,

Mengxi's lavender eyes narrowed slightly.

With the puzzled stares of the Asumos Church knights, she raised her silver longsword, pointing it directly at the pink-haired girl's forehead.

"You, what exactly are you?"

The pink-haired girl: "Huh??"
