Chapter 206 The Light of Legend!
A sharp dagger fell from the raised skirt, and the moment it touched the ground, it split into thousands of swords! It was an illusion! Irene's expression was stern, and a golden light climbed along the hilt to her wrist, and as she swung the blade in her hand, a circle of ripples was created.
The golden ripples were like a galloping army, shattering the sword blades stuck in the ground and the thick fog that filled the surroundings! Sitting on the branch, Sissi narrowed her eyes slightly, but the smile on her face did not change at all, but became even crazier.
"Hahaha... Interesting. You are much more interesting than that baron. I will play with you for a while!"
As she finished her words, her body leaned back slightly, like a light feather falling from the tree, and then transformed into a crow and flew into the forest.
Knowing that this guy was trying to seduce her, Irene narrowed her eyes slightly, but an idea came to her mind, so she decided to take advantage of the situation.
Her knees bent slightly, and with a soft inhale, she shot out like a cannonball, leaving two collapsed shoe prints on the frozen ground with her exquisite horsehide boots! It was obvious.
That little devil's position in the Demon King's army is not simple.
If she could be captured alive, she might be able to be exchanged for the captured Baron Guts from the Demon King...if the latter is still alive.
Luo Yan, standing in the military formation, looked at Irene's movements in surprise. He was totally unable to connect this mighty image with the delicate princess.
All I can say is that the Kingdom of Ryan is worthy of being called the hometown of knights.
This guy's extraordinary power is only bronze level, but his strength is probably far from what he shows. If he doesn't use magic, he may not be able to win in an arm wrestling match with her.
but--
Why would a necromancer like him arm wrestle with a knight?
Using his brain is what he is best at.
Looking at Irene's receding figure, Luo Yan jumped on his horse and spoke loudly to the soldiers beside him.
"I'll go help Her Royal Highness the Princess! You guys hold on!"
Without waiting for the soldiers to answer, he stepped hard on the stirrup, grabbed the reins, turned the horse's head, and urged the horse to chase in the direction of Princess Irene.
However, Luo Yan did not really go to help. Instead, he turned a corner halfway, taking advantage of the cover of trees and fog, and disappeared into the shadow of the woods with his horse.
On the other side, Irene was following closely behind Sissi at a rapid pace, while the latter was deliberately lowering her height as if to tease her.
The two sides chased each other for a while and soon came to the depths of the forest.
Sissi, who landed on the branch, flashed and transformed into a human form in a black light. At the same time, she threw three sharp daggers behind her.
Looking at the cold light flying towards her, Irene swung the long sword in her hand and knocked away the rushing dagger with a crisp sound of metal clashing.
The dagger flying in the air suddenly stopped, as if it was held by three invisible hands, and suddenly split into thousands of swords again! "Let me see how many hands you have."
Sissi, who was standing on the branch, had a mocking smile on her face. She raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. Then, thousands of swords shot towards Irene, who was standing in the woods, like raindrops, leaving no room for the latter to dodge.
Looking at the millions of sharp blades rushing towards her, there was no fear on Irene's face. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She ignored the cold light that was falling like raindrops, clasped the sword in her hands with both hands, took a deep breath, and swung it forward with all her might.
"Oh--!"
Ding——! With Irene Campbell's shout, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the forest, and dazzling sparks burst out from where the swords met.
Thousands of swords disappeared in an instant! Instead, Sissi, holding a dagger, was flying in front of Irene, and a look of astonishment gradually appeared on her face.
As for the man standing on the treetop, it seemed that he was just an illusion from the beginning. As the two swords, one long and one short, collided with each other, he disappeared into thin air without anyone noticing.
Irene did not give her a chance to breathe. The divine power wrapped around her body suddenly surged, and the sharp sword wrapped in golden light instantly slashed forward, leaving dozens of afterimages.
The slender sword blade was like a willow branch swaying in the wind, or like a whistling windmill, blowing up a raging gale in the forest!
The one-foot-long dagger let out a mournful cry as it could not bear the weight, and in a moment it broke into several pieces, turning into flying fragments that flew backwards.
Xixi used the momentum to jump back, and just as her toes landed on the treetop, before she could stand firm, another afterimage came and split the branch under her in two. Fortunately, she flapped her wings and quickly pulled away, otherwise, even if she could take the blow, she would lose her balance because she had no fulcrum to leverage on in the air.
The sword energy blew away the fog.
Looking at the half-broken branch that fell on the snow, Irene exhaled lightly, sheathed the sword in front of her chest, and looked at another branch about ten meters away.
I saw the little devil in a white dress sitting on it. Although she still had a relaxed smile on her face, her tense brows revealed a hint of embarrassment as she was caught off guard.
And this is indeed the case.
Thinking that she was forced to this point by a bronze-level swordsman, Sissi felt annoyed and her silver teeth were chattering.
Where does this guy get so much energy?!
But what made her feel most unbelievable was another thing.
"Can you see that?!"
She found out.
Her illusion had no effect on this guy from the beginning!
In order to deceive her, this guy deliberately cast "Holy Dispel" even though he was clearly not affected by the illusion.
The corners of Irene's mouth curled up slightly, and she danced the sword in her hand, nodding gracefully, like a noble in a duel.
"I advise you to be more serious, otherwise you will lose money later."
Seeing her relaxed appearance, Sissi felt a nameless fire in her heart, especially when she thought that this hateful surface human was actually standing side by side with the Demon King. Her scarlet eyes shone with a bloodthirsty and naked light.
"Who do you think you are, you arrogant fellow? You are nothing but a bronze rank! An adventurer like you won't survive even a second in my hands!"
Scarlet light spread out along her wings, emitting an evil aura, as if even the surrounding space was distorted.
However, Irene, who was standing calmly in the forest, seemed as if she saw nothing. She still had an elegant smile on her face, and her golden bangs swayed slightly in the biting cold wind.
"What about you? Silver? Or gold? Is that all you can do? Even a bronze-level swordsman has to work hard to defeat him. It seems that you have failed the power bestowed upon you by your demon god."
This humble and polite provocation seemed to have no lethality, but it just hit the sensitive spot of a little devil.
"Hehehe..." The charming smile on Xixi's face became brighter and brighter, and the murderous intent in her eyes became more intense.
However, she did not accept the other party's provocation and rush forward, because it was obviously a trap set by the other party.
Provocative, right?
When it comes to talking skills, there is absolutely no reason for the little devil to lose to humans!
The scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and Sissi suddenly seemed to have thought of something and spoke in a sinister voice.
"Speaking of which, who is that man next to you?"
Irene said with a smile.
"you guess."
Sissi said, narrowing her eyes.
"It's important, right?"
“…” Irene didn’t say anything, but just looked at her with a smile.
Sissi, who was sitting on the treetop, looked like she had been caught. She leaned back, covered her lips with the back of her hand and laughed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that I guessed it right. Let me guess, you haven't done anything yet, right? Hehe, after all, you hypocritical nobles like that kind of distant feeling, am I right? Right? You definitely haven't even touched hands, right?"
It must be said that her ability in quarreling was not even half as good as Missy's, and her ability in provoking was even worse than Yossi who could get to the table with just one sentence.
This tactic of hurting the enemy by 100 but hurting yourself by 3,000 did not break Irene's defense, but made her a little overwhelmed. In fact, what she said later was no longer a mockery, but a question.
Irene looked at the little devil who was talking to himself in confusion, not understanding what this guy was asking about.
If you try to embarrass her by using foul language, the effect would be too minimal.
"I have great respect for Mr. Colin, and I think he does too."
"Haha, is that so?" Sissi raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead, pretending to be strong and said viciously, "How about I try it for you? It must be delicious. I'll tie you up and I'll do it in front of you."
Irene suddenly smiled.
It was true that attacking that kind gentleman had touched her sore spot.
only--
"What can a little devil like you do?"
Sissi said angrily.
"I'll tear your mouth apart!!!"
The scarlet light transformed into a spear that pierced through space and struck Irene's face like lightning, as if it wanted to wipe her and the sword out from the universe.
And Irene seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, with golden light reflected in her emerald green eyes.
"The great ancestor, Angus Campbell, the commander who commanded thousands of troops, the 'Unyielding Wall' standing on the hills -"
"I am here to call upon your glory!"
A golden light fell from the sky and protected Irene like a shield.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
That was a completely different power from the "Holy Barrier"! The six daggers between her fingers hit the holy light firmly, and a trace of surprise gradually flashed across Sissi's bloodthirsty and ferocious eyes.
She felt that what she stabbed was not Irene Campbell's armor, but the shield wall erected by thousands of troops on the hills!
It's gonna be bad!
As soon as the fleeting thought appeared in her mind, a terrifying energy was released from the towering and motionless shield! The sudden burst of light was like thousands of spears piercing out from behind the shield wall, smashing into the dagger that Sissi had urgently retracted with a devastating force.
"boom--!"
The dust from the explosion blew in all directions, and dozens of pine trees were broken in half, collapsing on the snow in a cloud of dust.
The golden light gradually dimmed.
Looking at the devastated forest and the snow that was almost blown away, Irene calmed her heaving chest, a bitter smile appeared on her face, and she put the trembling cold light back into the scabbard.
"Let this guy get away..."
It turns out that I still need to practice more.
Although she is still young and has enough vitality to squander, she ultimately needs matching strength to control this power.
The descendants of the Campbell family cannot always live in the glory of their ancestors...
…
On the other side of the forest, Sissi, who had been flying for a while, landed in the snow in a mess. She raised her torn sleeves to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.
That was not because she suffered any internal injuries, but because the shock wave of the explosion caught her off guard and she accidentally bit her lip.
“This female gorilla…”
Having never suffered such a great injustice, Xixi became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She wished she could call someone over to take care of this guy.
Fighting alone is not what the little devil is good at.
Especially since that girl had the blessing of Saint Sith or something, her magic had no effect on her at all! At this moment, Sissi suddenly saw a familiar figure from the woods, and the grievance in her heart suddenly overflowed from her eyes.
But she was still a demon who cared about her reputation, and didn't want the respected Demon King to see her in such a miserable state, so she flew in the opposite direction.
Luo Yan waited in the woods for a while, but instead of waiting for Xixi, he saw Missy flapping her wings and flying towards him.
"Master Demon!"
"Keep your voice down."
Luo Yan subconsciously glanced behind him. Although this place was far enough away from the battlefield, he still had to be cautious.
He was almost done playing chess, but he didn't want a group of reckless men to overturn the table and make the originally simple matter suddenly become troublesome.
After a pause, he said.
"Where's Sissi?"
Missy hesitated for a moment and lied carefully.
"Queen Sissi...uh, suddenly saw a golden beetle, so she went to catch it."
What the hell is going to catch bugs?
Luo Yan was very upset.
However, knowing the little devil's character well, he didn't say much, just sighed and said.
"Did she say anything to you?"
Missy said honestly.
"She said that the female gorilla holding the flashlight was a little strange. She was only at the bronze level, but after chanting a spell, she became a different person. Her aura was even scarier than her father's. And, the king also said that the thing must have been cushioned by something, and it wasn't that big..."
Luo Yan: “……?”
Looking at the Demon King with a puzzled look on his face, Missy, who was good at observing people's expressions, immediately shut her mouth and spoke tremblingly.
"Anyway, she told you to be careful of that woman named Irene Campbell. She is not a good person. She is a very bad person."
Luo Yan said patiently.
"I see... Basically, when you activate the Legend of Light, you will switch to another personality, right?"
Missy nodded hastily.
"It seems so! If you attack her in groups, you will definitely be able to kill her, but you said that this chess piece is still useful, so... you will attack alone to test her skills."
Luo Yan nodded and said majestically.
"Tell her for me that she has worked hard this time. I will thank her in person later."
Missy breathed a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"That's great... The queen has been in low spirits recently. If you can praise her, she will definitely be very happy."
Not energetic? Are you tired?
Could it be that this idiot Arakdo had just thrown all the work to others and gone out to slack off...
"Okay, I understand," Luo Yan nodded, and after a moment's silence, he continued, "You take some people with you to knock out the prisoners we captured this morning and send them to the cave outside the city, and then do as I say..."
Listening to the Demon King's orders, Missy showed a surprised expression on her face, and then nodded.
"Yeah! Leave it to us!"
Although she didn't know why the Demon King did this, she believed that this omnipotent devil must have his reasons.
After watching Missy's back disappear in the shadow of the pine forest, Luo Yan turned around and went back to where he had tied the horse before, untied the reins, and jumped on.
Looking at the animal that was trembling with its head down, he touched its mane and spoke softly in a gentle tone.
"I'm sorry to ask you to accompany me to get lost for a while."
As he spoke, a purple light merged into the horse's face, and the originally clear eyes instantly became stupid.
Luo Yan rode it deeper into the woods, as if he was really lost... in this forest that he was so familiar with.
The battle in the distance is almost over.
Irene should be aware that it is impossible for her to capture the Beifeng Mountain stronghold with such a small number of people.
Next, it’s time for a chance encounter with Baron Gus.
