Chapter 91 The Holy Sword Appears!

The person who presented the awards at this commendation ceremony was none other than Inspector Gordon, who has now transferred to the Inspectorate.

He put on his helmet again and slung the sword of honor behind him. The silver-white armor made him look sacred and solemn.

"—May the Silver Crown Dragon protect Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live forever."

The old knight Gordon stood in the center of the stage and praised loudly.

His voice boomed loudly, echoing throughout the club and even outside without the need for amplification: "In the name of Queen Sophia du Lac, I hereby, in accordance with ancient tradition, bestow upon the warrior Aiwas Moriarty the Mark of the Sword."

He personally placed the silver-white Holy Sword Badge on Aiwass's right chest and saluted him.

Then he unsheathed the sword, which shone with silver light, and gently placed it on Aiwass's shoulder.

"I swear to live up to the honor and fight for Her Majesty the Queen."

Aiwass raised his voice and said, "God save the Queen—victory always, glory in her."

His voice became clear and powerful, a marked difference from his usual gentle and easy-going temperament, appearing mature, steady and reliable.

As he held the pose, applause erupted from the audience, and reporters began snapping photos from all angles.

The dazzling flash lights shone on the stage, turning the two people completely white at one point.

In addition to the two people on the stage, the crowd applauding below also needed to take pictures.

As the reporters quickly filmed from all angles, the audience smiled and began to applaud. The applause in the clubhouse lasted for a long time.

Different from other medals.

Because the recipients of the Order of the Holy Sword are usually warriors who have performed heroic deeds on the battlefield, the recipients can only be military personnel.

According to the original etiquette, the recipient of the award should kneel down and perform the knight's salute when receiving the award, and the award will be presented by his immediate superior in the unit.

But Aiwass was sitting in a wheelchair and looked weak and had difficulty walking; and he was not a soldier and had no superiors.

Therefore, after the Inspectorate specifically consulted the Minister of Ceremonies, the minister tactfully stated that Gordon could present the honor on his behalf - this was also an effective way to eliminate the Inspectorate's negative reputation.

——This scene was filmed, and after people saw it in the newspaper, they would think that the Supervisory Bureau had a good attitude in this matter.

Although I don't know if the statement that "Commissioner Gordon ultimately failed to catch the assassin" is true, I know it's probably false after seeing this scene. Otherwise, why would Gordon be the one to award medals to those who have made contributions?

Since Gordon was promoted and awarded a medal, the man must have been caught! It's just that it's confidential information that hasn't been made public!

“…Huh?!”

But at this moment, a photographer suddenly exclaimed.

Although the ceremony had been successfully completed and only the finishing touches remained, his act of disrupting the ceremony still caused many people to turn their heads and look at him in dissatisfaction.

But soon they understood why the photographer exclaimed.

He saw a tall, thin, white ghost emerging from the direction he was filming—at the back of the left seat, behind a man with empty eyes who was clapping his hands vigorously.

Like a butterfly struggling out of its cocoon, it trembled its limbs and raised its four arms, which were completely misplaced and of different sizes.

Its upper body resembled that of a thin, hunched man, its ribs bulging outwards, looking sharp and ferocious.

Its abdomen and back were covered in taut white skin, and a massive bald head, more than twice the size of an average human, was dotted with the facial features of multiple people. Unlike a human face, which only pointed to one side, the facial features were evenly distributed across the four sides of the skull.

The two legs that hadn't yet fully emerged from the man's back were tall, thin, and had their joints twisted, making them more like a goat than a human.

Is that... some kind of demon?

Just seeing its posture, the reporter felt his breathing stop.

A chill, damp feeling of dread washed over him, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably. The reporter couldn't move, couldn't even speak, as if he'd been electrocuted, his fingers twitching as he pressed the shutter button repeatedly.

The demon was even bigger than the man who served as its container! No one knew how it had gotten in.

"--【still】!"

"--【arrest】!"

“——【Expel】!”

But the next moment, the lawyers discovered it.

But their orders, without exception, all failed. Only the man who served as the container completely deflated and fell to the ground, breathless.

The white demon was extremely fast, like lightning—

It wasn't walking on two legs, but rather crawling on six arms at a rapid speed. It even left afterimages, like a sped-up video, unnatural and as if frames had been skipped.

"—It's the Deformed Limb! Keep your distance!"

Gordon noticed it immediately, and with a roar, he raised the sword that awarded Aiwass.

As his status has risen, the silver flames bursting from his sword are more intense than in the past few days.

In his hand, it seemed as if he held not a sword but a torch. The entire stage was illuminated by his light, and the demon's body emitted a hissing green smoke from the burning.

Gordon moved quickly and stabbed the demon's chest with a sword.

But the deformed-limbed demon's body was extremely agile.

It left a trail of shadows, easily dodging the fatal piercing blow. Its six arms suddenly stretched, two of them reaching up to grasp the chandelier. Swinging like an ape, its goat-like hooves suddenly lengthened, transforming into sharp spears that pierced the two inspectors who rushed over first.

It swung twice, and the chandelier fell directly, thrown straight at Aiwass. Gordon pushed Aiwass away - Aiwass's wheelchair slid out as if drifting, and Gordon was submerged in the smoke and dust.

He certainly wouldn't get hurt for that reason.

In the smoke, the deformed-limbed demon killed everyone without using his sight.

It constantly extends extremely long arms or sheep's feet from its body, piercing the chest of the person who rushes forward, breaking his neck, or piercing his eyes.

Gordon's battle cries echoed through the smoke as he engaged in back-and-forth with several of the deformed limbs. Sharp, blinding beams of silver light shredded the stage like crescent moons. But the deformed limbs were so sturdy that Gordon's attacks only scraped the skin, which healed almost instantly.

The inspectors immediately protected Isabel and tried to let her leave first.

As the crowd on the second floor was fleeing in panic, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man calmly mingled among them, muttering something in a low voice.

Amid people's screams, the walls on the first floor suddenly turned into scarlet flesh and blood.

Tentacles of flesh the color of internal organs whipped out, briefly restraining the inspector who was originally standing on the edge of the wall.

On the other side, a glass jar filled with eyeballs was suddenly thrown down from the second floor.

Edward immediately raised his head and scanned the second floor, so he noticed this immediately. As soon as the jar flew up, he immediately stretched out his right hand towards it and shouted, "Return the item to its original owner!"

The glass jar suddenly stopped falling and began to flow back, landing on the brown-haired girl with a look of astonishment.

She looked at the can flying towards her with shock and fear, and stretched out her hand to catch it.

Inside was the "Eye of Terror," enough to send everyone on the first floor into a state of panic! And if she didn't catch it...

At this moment, a fireball flew over and shattered the jar.

That was the fire summoned by Ms. Meiya—the golden-red flame burned fiercely, burning the eyeball that emitted black smoke to ashes.

Her right hand slowly condensed into another larger fireball, and she looked at the man with an unfriendly face.

"I call upon Amber, God of the Number Nine, God of the Ultimate, God of Perfection and Eternity—give me the Amber Fire."

Bishop Maya chanted softly as the fireball in her hand gradually turned a dim yellow. The flickering flames seemed to freeze in place.

Just as the brown-haired girl was about to flee, she suddenly found herself frozen, unable to move. It turned out that a law mage had noticed this and, while struggling with the tentacles, had cast a law of [Standstill].

The golden flames rushed towards her and hit her accurately without affecting anyone nearby.

Her shrill scream lasted only a moment, and as the dim flames dissipated, she turned into a hideous stone statue.

Glancing at her coldly, Maya condensed flames in her hands again.

"I call upon the Lord of Scales and Feathers, the God of the Sacred Number Six..."

This time she did not offer a limited number of instant prayers. Instead, she stood among the crowd with her eyes closed, clasped her hands together, and began to chant the entire sutra.

"—Watch out, Aiwass!"

But Gordon's exclamation interrupted her prayer.

She looked up in surprise and opened her eyes, looking at Aiwass in the corner.

At the moment when the deformed limb demon suddenly attacked Aiwass...

I saw that in the wheelchair, Aiwass had an ancient holy sword in his hand.

It had a vermilion hilt. Blazing flames burned from the blade, gleaming with dazzling holy light. Pure energies of light and fire continuously rippled, forming visible ripples in the air.

That is to first open the [Key to Saint Guinevere's Chapel] and infuse it with the two attributes of light and fire, and then use the spell stored in it - [Holy Sword Technique] to create the holy sword, the red-handled sword!

It was a golden "holy weapon" with four attributes: evil-repelling, sharp, tough, and light.

The most important of these are "lightness" and "warding off evil spirits".

The former allows Aiwass, who lacks strength and is in a wheelchair, to swing it easily; the latter is the most important...

The moment the holy sword appeared, a serene and sacred atmosphere spread out, as if this place had transformed into a holy temple. The fear in the hearts of the people was also alleviated.

The movements of this deformed-limbed demon became slower under the illumination of this light, and its strength began to weaken.

Seeing the moment when its movements slowed down, Aiwass swung the red-handled sword.

Like a hot knife cutting butter, he easily cut off the arm that the deformed-limbed demon stretched out!
