Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Female Corpse
The reason why Han Dong was certain that no one would come to his aid was because of the “Yellow mark” warning before the match…
Why would there suddenly appear a [sub-death space] on the verge of life and reality?
If this was outside the city, Han Dong couldn’t guess the answer.
But the current situation appeared in the knights’ grand assembly, appearing in the Colosseum that was completely monitored by the Holy City… There was only one reason, it was the council’s doing.
“Even though the great writer Stephen has been identified as a demon and has been executed together by the captains… the evidence he provided about me and Dumps bearing the outside city attributes is real.
The councilors must have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the evidence.
Considering the current situation, there is more evidence about me, and the council is more concerned about my influence on the Holy City… Dumps is secondary.
Such uncertainties must be verified for their ‘danger’ before officially joining the Knight Regiment.”
There must be a [Wise Man] in the council equivalent to Mr. Black White.
Anticipating in advance that I would try my best to withdraw from the match, various ‘coincidences’ were used to hinder the chance of withdrawl.
Even the fact that I would cross the Apple Tree Path through the death space was calculated, and the ‘sub-death space’ was created in advance.
“This is trouble…”
Abe naturally had his reactions, considering some secrets of Han Dong and asked, “Could it be… that the council was intentionally targeting you? This does not comply with the open and fair rules of the knight’s grand assembly.”
Han Dong nodded, “Sorry… to have involved you too.
The so-called ‘openness and fairness’ only need to bring out the internal video recordings after the conference… Find an excuse about the inner space setting of the Colosseum, it can easily be glossed over.”
He gritted his teeth, and a terrifying beast-like aura constantly spilled out from Abe.
“You have made great contributions to the Holy City, Nicholas, and you have endangered your life to expose the high-level demon lurking in the Holy City.
At the same time, you won the favor of many captains. But these old-fashioned people still want to target you… A council like this doesn’t need to exist.
Perhaps a Holy City centered around the Thirteen Knight Orders would be better.”
But Han Dong refuted Abe’s thoughts with a wave of his hand.
“No… The [Parliamentary Monarchy], the existence of the Supreme Council is necessary.
Under such an apocalypse, managing a human kingdom is ten times more difficult than in peaceful times.
Under Morning Star’s spell casting, an infinite aura of fire accumulated around Su Yu.
The [Vermilion Bird Divine Shield] quickly coalesced, completely enveloping Su Yu in a 5-meter diameter, airtight sphere of flaming red. From a distance, he looked like a miniature sun, of course a thousand times brighter at the least.
Suddenly, the top of the tallest building in Treyna City— “Treyna Skyscraper,” revealed an enormous golden eye.
Buzz—
Almost instantly, the skyscraper’s colossal eye released a green disintegration ray that rushed towards Su Yu, allowing him barely any time to react.
Morning Star was all too familiar with this ray.
The last time they left Skru Star, it was her who sacrificed herself to block this disintegration ray, allowing Su Yu to return safely to Blue Star.
But now was different from the past.
They were now more than ten times stronger than the last time they took action! With their present defenses, they could easily withstand this ray.
That’s why she didn’t block for Su Yu this time and allowed the ray to hit him.
Boom!
Crrrrack!
The disintegration ray successfully hit Su Yu.
However, the beam failed to break through Morning Star’s [Vermilion Bird Divine Shield], dispersing completely in the air without even breaking through the outermost layer of the defense.
Morning Star, feeling the futility of the disintegration ray, didn’t relax; she heightened her vigilance instead.
Because at this moment, Sidim’s psychic force covered them completely, and Su Yu, his soul, had still not returned to his body yet.
“Su Yu?!” Sidim was shocked to sense Su Yu’s presence as he was rushing towards the library.
How could that be?
Wasn’t Su Yu supposed to be dead, killed by Victoria with the [Sun Mark]?
He’s not dead?
However, the pressing situation left him little time to ponder the reason. Su Yu had always been Skru’s number one enemy, he had to eliminate him as soon as possible!
Thinking this, Sidim transformed into a streak of green light, zooming towards the library with the fastest speed he could muster.
20, 19, 18…
It would take him at most 20 seconds to reach his destination.
Watching the rapidly approaching Sidim, a desperation to survive surged within Morning Star.
She drank the [Master Level Speed Potion] that Su Yu had given her, doubling her flight speed almost instantaneously and flew towards Sidim.
“Heh! You’re looking for death!” Sidim, seeing Morning Star fly towards him, bellowed angrily.
He waved a single hand, releasing the 6th-rank instant-cast psychic spell [Arcane Surge] towards Morning Star.
Despite being an instant-cast psychic spell, its power was by no means inferior to Morning Star’s full strike!
Therefore, without a second thought, Morning Star swung to the side to evade.
But Sidim was determined to kill her as quickly as possible.
As soon as he released one instant-cast psychic spell, he unleashed another.
In a short second, he released 16 instant-cast psychic spells in succession!
The continuous onslaught of instant-cast psychic spells practically sealed off all of Morning Star’s evasive maneuvers.
Though her flight speed had significantly increased, she was unable to avoid being hit three or four times.
Her protective magic shield was instantly shattered, and her body was injured by the residual force of the instant-cast psychic spells, blood flowing freely from her wounds.
However, Sidim had no sympathy, he launched another 16 instant-cast psychic spells, each one aimed at Morning Star’s vital parts, determined to kill with a single hit!
But at that very moment, he was suddenly startled.
Because Su Yu, who had been standing still on the ground like a wooden puppet, suddenly moved!
Su Yu’s body regained its mobility, his eyes went from dull to alert, it was obvious, he had broken free from the control of the soul-binding formation!
He didn’t have time to deal with Morning Star now, he had to kill Su Yu!
Sidim didn’t think further, and swiveled mid-air, charging directly towards Su Yu. A high-power psychic spell was brewing in his palm, aiming to kill Su Yu with a single hit!
It would take Sidim about three seconds to cast his charge-up spell.
However, when he was two seconds into his spell-casting, he suddenly heard a clear, pleasant meow from behind him.
“Meow!”(Beware the sword!)
Sidim’s spell was instantly interrupted.
Moreover, he didn’t understand why, but his body completely froze and lost its psychic propulsion, leaving him to continue moving forward with only inertia.
Of course, the one responsible for Sidim’s current state was Morning Star.
The 16 instant-cast psychic spells hadn’t killed her outright.
Although she was hit squarely by 8 psychic spells, the high magic resistance of [Vermilion Bird Form], the instant magic shield, combined with the healing of [Panda’s Sacred Spring], she was lucky to have survived.
If there was a game panel right now, her health would only be around a remaining “15%”, hovering dangerously close to death.
But being “close to death” and “being dead” were different things.
On the verge of passing out from the severe injuries, she used the weapon Su Yu gave her—[The Best Sword in the Village].
Upon using it, the effect was extraordinary.
Morning Star swooshed the blade downwards, successfully controlling Sidim and putting him in a state of [Stupor]. His long-prepared high-power psychic spell was completely interrupted.
If this psychic spell had hit Su Yu, he would have been undoubtedly dead, with the probability of death being above ninety percent.
Now that the psychic spell was interrupted, he could be said to have walked the edge of the ghost gate.
“Wait.”
As all the Death Qi within the current space was absorbed.
The female corpse, whose head was drooping, suddenly stood up from the coffin…
She stared intensely at Han Dong and his companions.
The woman’s pupils displayed six petal-like patterns, just like the ghost face flowers Han Dong saw upon entering the garden.
