Chapter 819: Epilogue (13)

Its useless, your nether flames might be strong, but as long as I touch them with an energy coating, and separate myself in an instant, even that lioness of yours cant harm me. The golden armored man roared in triumph. At this distance, his golden armor only seemed that much more majestic, reflecting his bluish lightning, akin to a heavenly deity of some sort. You will pay with your life!

Its true my lioness doesnt have the greatest of defenses, but just because you sent her flying doesnt mean I have nothing left to play.

Heavensbreak!

The 72 plates of Heavenbreaks zoomed in to form a wall between me and the golden armored man. However, his lightning spear dove in like a snaking dragon, power focused into a single tip as it exploded. To my greatest surprise, the shield wall exploded in a shower of metal.

The plates themselves werent damaged, but their formation was definitely destroyed.

****, I knew he was strong, but In that case, time for my newly acquired shield, the Shield of Gaia!Findd new stories at novelhall.com

The Shield of Gaia was the name of that shield I looted off Ironshield. It had the ability to erect a defensive barrier, powered by the mana particles it automatically absorbed from the air. Every few minutes, it was able to erect a barrier that repelled magic.

Just dont use it for physical attacks

The familiar blue dome expanded outwards from the shield, however, barely a second later, it was torn asunder by the violently crackling spear of lightning.

Ping

The sound of glass shattering echoed in my ears, heralding the advent of his deadly spear.

I could feel the hairs on my arm tingling from the sheer concentration of Lightning element in the air. Even with Wyrms nine-star defenses, I could feel the pores in my body react violently to the static energies, as if to lament our weakness and impending doom. Even so, I wasnt about to give up, not even in the eleventh hour! In fact, putting myself in a ridiculously dangerous spot and getting out of it was a speciality of mine! My home ground, so to speak!

Pseudo-Territory Resistance!

Just as his lightning spear was about to pierce Wyrm, I activated the strongest card Wyrm had to play. In some sense, this single skill could be said to be the greatest bane of Territories. It might have only had one purpose, but in that single field, it was unmatched!

The moment his spear came into contact with Wyrm, it seemed to dissolve, breaking up into its most primal mana particle form.

Stab!

I thrust my dragonslayer greatsword into his chest without any hesitation. His eyes were wide with disbelief, even as it pierced his heart. Yet disbelieve all he wanted, this was the cruel reality he now faced.

Very well, Im sure Lady Mo Na must be feeling tired after having faced down three overlords, even if shes not injured. He replied politely. Ill have the best room prepared for your arrival

Thanks. I sped off without allowing him to finish. It was only when I was sure I wasnt within his sights that I slowed down Wyrms flight speed.

Do you take me for a fool? Why was that golden armored man even there in the first place? And from the same direction, no less. I might be dumb, but not that dumb.

That man was clearly fighting with the General. The fact that they werent in battle, meant that they were at a stalemate. The stone giant must have somehow sent out a message to him when things were looking bad. In other words, the General did not try to stop the golden armored man when he tried to rush to the stone giants aid.

The time we fought was more than enough time for an overlord like Cleoz to accomplish a lot. The fact he appeared after the golden armored man died was more than coincidence, as if he was waiting for something.

In a battle like this, where the only overlords were concentrated on my end, him being the only overlord was highly advantageous to him. On a more sinister note, this would have been the perfect time to arrange an untimely death for me as well.

Even I had to admit I was fast becoming a threat to the King. By placing me as the commander of this newly formed knight order, I was now part of the greater political scene.

At the end of the day, regardless of whether the King believed my otherworldly identity, I wasnt a native Andassean. We did not know each other for long as well, nor did I have any intention of being his queen. He probably had my origins investigated thoroughly the moment I arrived, but good luck finding anything.

No king, in his right mind, would trust a person who suddenly showed up on his doorstep. Andassis was no fool, so he clearly did not trust me either. We were just using each other.

Had it not been for the Ertalonese army striking so rapidly, he wouldnt have given me such a heavy responsibility to begin with. He needed me, who could slay an overlord using the power of Wyrm.

But he still did not trust me. Because of my origins. The fact I now had the Magitek Knight Corp under my command was unusual. This was most likely his chance at having me removed from that potentially dangerous position.

Hehehe, seems like our little brother has gotten a little smarter, after all. At least those souls werent wasted.

Hey. Im a little dumb, but not dumb dumb.

Clearly, since youre at least aware that youre dumb.

Hmph. Well, my relationship with Andassis the Seventh needs some digging into, maybe I will start with General Cleoz. Hes the nearest person.

At least the age of Magitek is finally here. Thats half my goals complete.
