"Please allow me to go in and investigate. The top floor is permeated with a powerful aura of ice magic. As far as I know, there aren't many ice users in your esteemed knightly order, but as an ice manipulator, I am quite familiar with this, and I am armed with the 'Ice Flame Sword,' which can counter ice magic, so..."
Having received Marquis Alex's permission and following his instructions, Philsa turned and went inside.
The tower was dark and gloomy. Philsa raised his sword, infused it with magic, and flames burned wildly in the transparent blade, gradually illuminating a one-meter radius around him.
"It turns out that there are transparent silk threads all around here."
He picked one of them and found that the silk was not as sharp and tough as he had imagined, and could not be used to cut fast-moving prey.
"What's the point of this anyway?"
He shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about it and continue his journey to the top.
A few moments later, when he reached the top floor, he found that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and he could only see lightning but not hear thunder.
Twelve statues, each radiating a distinct demonic aura, stood atop the six corners of the tower, their faces fierce and fangs bared, each with a unique appearance.
"You think... transforming into a stone statue will fool my demonic eye?!"
Philsa raised his sword with his left hand and unleashed a sudden wave of sword energy. The fake statue closest to him on the left was shattered into pieces before it could reveal its true form, and the pieces fell outside the tower.
Meanwhile, the other eleven statues—or rather, eleven blue-faced demons—shed their false appearances and reverted to their original forms, surrounding their prey.
In this hellish arena high in the sky, Philsa brandished two beams of red and blue light, slaying demons at incredible speed.
The cold light of blue ice, the fiery light of red lotus—the two swords held tightly in their master's hands are not physical objects, but twin phantoms conjured from a sword called "Ice Flame Sword - Franzane".
They were like spirits with their own minds, spreading through the air with a mixture of cold and hot mist.
Possessing dual extreme attributes, with a blade of no fixed length and a weight equivalent to air—the Phantom Ice Flame Sword, which combines all these advantages, is Philsa's standard exorcism weapon.
The alternating clash of firelight and icy brilliance, the crimson and blue trails traced by the sword in the palm, were visually dazzling and breathtaking.
The sword flashed. In no time, under the chaotic dance of the phantom swords, the ground was covered with the dark green blood of the demon, while his swords remained completely untouched by such filth.
The red and blue colors still look so pure.
The eleven demons that existed at the top of the tower became victims of Philsa's sword.
In order not to waste magic power, Felsa transformed the illusion of ice and fire back into its original solid sword form, and at the same time extinguished the flames within the sword.
The Ice Flame Sword, now devoid of magical power, is nothing more than a transparent, hollow ice core.
Just as he was about to sheath his sword, he noticed another visitor who had just arrived.
It was a robust young man with silver hair, wearing a gray cloak, and the Silverwing Company uniform under the cloak caught Philsa's attention.
The silver-gray greatsword, half-hidden at the waist yet radiating a distinctly divine aura, proclaimed its owner's holy status.
Given his unique appearance and weaponry, he thought this person must be General Kareem Gloria of the Silverwing.
The visitor, without asking why, drew his sword and charged forward.
"Demon Lord...you really are young."
Indeed, his holy sword was aimed at Philsa.
Its arrival was so fierce, like a dazzling bolt of lightning from a dull sky.
Although Felsa managed to raise his sword to defend himself at the last second, he was still struck by the greatsword and slid back several steps.
"This person... is very strong!" Philsa thought to himself that something was wrong. At this moment, General Kaireser had discovered his demon bloodline.
However, from the fierce battle just now until now, he has not given himself away.
No one can stop Kerèse Gloria from facing the demon and fighting with the determination to vanquish it.
Responding to its master's determination, the crest "Radiant Thousand Birds" began to radiate its light.
Upon witnessing the magnificent emblem, Firza hesitated slightly, his heart filled with even greater trepidation.
The general is actually going to use the power of his crest on himself!
It seems that the general is very determined to eliminate demons. Whether they are teammates or strangers, as long as they have demonic blood, Kaireser will definitely kill them.
The general's swordsmanship was superb; the holy sword Belgard was wielded with remarkable speed and agility, leaving Philsa utterly helpless.
Moreover, he had already used the power of the emblem, intending to end the battle with the next strike.
Even if I were to risk my emblem to fight them, I might not have much of a chance of winning. No, no, the opponent is neither an enemy nor a demon; I absolutely cannot recklessly use the power that was originally meant for exorcism.
Philsa constantly reminded himself that the phantom power he had given himself was not meant to fight against General Kaireser, who shared the same ambition as him.
This is the bottom line that I, as a knight, uphold, and it cannot be shaken at will.
Just as Philsa hesitated, Kaireiser was already shrouded in dazzling light, and then the light shield shattered into thousands of lightning birds that flew towards him.
The tumbling debris falling from the top of the tower caught the attention of the patrolling knights. Fortunately, they were not injured by the falling objects.
"What's going on?" one of them muttered to himself.
At the top of the tower, Felsa, wounded, leaned against a remaining pillar, showing no regret even in defeat.
