"boom!!"

An explosion sounded, Fang Zheng looked up and could see dust and smoke not far away.

It’s really troublesome! But…

Looking around, I saw that many people had already walked out of the room because of the explosion. They were standing at the door and windows, looking curiously towards the place where the sound came from.

Things were becoming a headache. Fang Zheng knew that there were many familiars of the Thousand World Tree in this city. If possible, he didn't want them to see his battle... But now...

There is no choice but to use that one!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also hurriedly turned around and ran into the alley next to him. Then he raised his right hand, and soon, the dark sword appeared in Fang Zheng's hand again. He held the sword tightly and then thrust it hard into the ground.

"Seal it!"

The scorching flames burned the entire world at this moment.

"What's going on?"

Red Saber widened her eyes in surprise, watching the flames in the distance rushing towards her like a raging flood. She instinctively raised her weapon to block in front of her, but to her surprise, she did not feel the scorching air waves and high temperature that came with the flames. On the contrary, when she raised her head again and looked forward, she found that everything had changed.

The original houses had long disappeared, replaced by a huge city that looked as if it had been abandoned long ago, and she and Illya were standing on the high walls of the city.

"Is this... an inherent barrier?"

Sensing the magical energy in the air, Red Saber sneered. She tightened her sword again and looked at Illya in front of her.

"Very good, I didn't expect you to have this ability. Then let me see what else you can do!"

While shouting, Red Saber swung her sword again and slashed at Illya. Illya, on the other hand, tightly grasped the holy sword in her hand, gritted her teeth and faced the enemy in front of her.

"clang!!"

The two swords intersected, and Red Saber's swordsmanship was as frantic as a storm, fiercely attacking the enemy in front of her. Illya, on the other hand, used the power of the heroic spirit obtained by "Dream Summoning" to support herself. One sword after another, and then another sword, the two sides started a melee on the high wall.

The fierce sword energy whistled and tore the rubble on the high wall. Illya relied on the holy sword in her hand to barely resist the opponent's attack. Red Saber's sword skills were so fierce that even Illya felt that she was almost unmatched...

“Drink ahhhh!”

Red Saber swung her sword again, and this time Illya finally couldn't hold on. She flew backwards under the huge impact and fell to the ground.

not good!

Realizing that the situation was not good, Illya hurriedly rolled over and tried to stand up, but just as she raised her head, she saw a steel boot stepping down hard on her. Illya could only curl up her body as hard as she could, trying to avoid the fierce attack, but what she didn't expect was that the moment the steel boot stepped on the ground, it suddenly changed direction and kicked her in the lower abdomen.

“Woo——!”

With a muffled groan, Illya flew backwards like a cannonball, and then hit the wall not far away. The girl's petite body slid down the wall and fell against it. At the same time, the sharp blade in Red Saber's hand stabbed Illya's chest mercilessly.

"clang!!"

But at the last moment, Illya still mustered up the strength to swing her sword to block the almost fatal blow from Red Saber, so that the sword in her hand did not pierce Illya's heart, but passed along her shoulder and stabbed into the wall beside Illya.

“Who on earth are you…?!”

Red Saber looked at Illya coldly, her voice filled with anger and hesitation that could not be concealed. At first, she was only angry because of the holy sword in the opponent's hand, but in the subsequent fight, the anger deep in Red Saber's heart became more and more vigorous.

Because she was Mordred.

In the Arthurian legend, the last Knight of the Round Table who betrayed King Arthur and ultimately led to his death was also the king's child.

Mordred once thought that she would inherit everything, but that was not the case. The king officially told her: "I am not going to acknowledge you as my child, nor will I entrust the throne to you."

At this moment, Mordred finally realized that no matter how hard she tried or how good she was, she could not get the recognition of King Arthur.

Anger arose from her heart at this moment, and after that, she finally raised the banner of betrayal and destroyed everything King Arthur once had.

That's why she was so angry when she saw the holy sword in Illya's hand.

That was the symbol of the king, and it was supposed to be her proof, but now, it was held by such a little girl! She had tried her best but still couldn't get it, so why could this little girl get it? !

At first, for Mordred, it was just that. But as she fought with Illya, Mordred's anger grew. Because the more she fought, the more she found that the swordsmanship used by the girl in front of her was almost exactly the same as King Arthur's.

Who is she? ! !

Mordred felt like his head was going to explode. Although the girl's swordsmanship looked a little immature, it was undoubtedly the swordsmanship of the Knight King. Mordred could guarantee this. She was sure that it was the swordsmanship of the King, but... the little girl in front of him could not be King Arthur no matter how he looked at it. Not to mention the age difference, her hair color and appearance were also very different from King Arthur.

But because of this, Mordred became even angrier.

Because she had a very bad idea.

Why does this girl have a holy sword? Why does she have the sword skills of a king?

There is only one answer, that is, she is King Arthur's successor! She is the one who inherited the king's holy sword and will inherit the throne, the child recognized by King Arthur!

That’s right, it was her who took away everything from me. That must be it!

“Who on earth are you!?”

This time, Mordred almost roared out this sentence. She racked her brains but couldn't remember when King Arthur had a child. Although it was well known that King Arthur was married to Guinevere, Mordred knew very well that the king and Guinevere had no children, and he had no other women either. So, how did she give birth to a child?

She just wanted to know this now, but Illya was completely unable to answer her question.

In fact, Illya didn't even understand what Saber in front of her was saying.

"Since you don't want to answer, then go to hell!!"

Mordred also gave up asking further questions. She raised the weapon in her hand again and stabbed Illya hard - this time, she would not miss.

But in the next moment, Mordred suddenly turned around and swung his sword, cutting a black arrow. The metal interlaced with fire flashed instantly, and then Mordred quickly stepped back. At the same time, Illya also seized this opportunity to leap up and stand up again.

"Xiao Hei, you came just in time!"

“Haha…”

On the high tower in the distance, Xiao Hei held a longbow in his hand, stared helplessly at the distant city wall, and sighed deeply.

"Really? Why do I, as the elder sister, have to clean up your mess every time?"
