Chapter 126: I’m not, I don’t have, and you shouldn’t say such nonsense.
Elrose stepped forward, rushing to Lilith in an instant, her Demon Sword swinging fiercely.
“Clang!”
Apophis collided violently with the massive scythe, unleashing a terrifying wave of magical energy.
“Blood Clan, awaken, sacrifice…”
The eyes on the massive scythe emitted eerie and cold sounds, red light flickering, as if the corrosive light would be released again in the next moment.
“You won’t!” Elrose tightened her grip on the hilt, dark mana instantly released all around her, “Apophis, hold it down!”
The pitch-black light erupted instantly, the powerful dark mana breaking through the defenses of the massive scythe in an instant, invading its essence—right beside that enormous eye.
“Ahhh!”
The giant eye widened instantaneously, clearly Apophis’s power was vastly superior, causing it to suffer a severe blow at once.
But at the same time…
“Ahhh!”
Lilith also let out a tremendous scream.
“Damn it.” Elrose was taken aback, quickly reducing her power; she suddenly realized a serious problem. It seemed the spirit of the scythe was entangled with Lilith’s soul. Harming the scythe also harmed Lilith. Elrose’s expression turned grim.
The best way to separate them was to use a soul attack, but… she had no means to attack the soul at the moment.
“Shadie, keep it suppressed.”
Behind Elrose, Alicia slowly took out her treasured item from her storage necklace—the Soul Blade.
It was a sword that looked quite strange, lacking a blade, revealing only its bare hilt.
But in fact, it did have a blade.
Only that its blade was not material, but spiritual.
Unless one had the power of spiritual sight or was someone with strong soul perception, they would absolutely see no blade at all.
And Alicia happened to possess both.
Soul perception, activated.
[Eye of Truth·Spiritual Sight]
Alicia abruptly opened her eyes; at that moment, in her field of vision, Lilith’s body gradually became transparent.
Through her body, Alicia saw her soul.
Countless blood-red bats clung to Lilith’s soul, nearly consuming her entirely.
“Shadie, hold it down, don’t let it move.”
Alicia’s eyes sparkled with a haunting blue light, her expression very serious: “Otherwise, I might misstrike.”
As she spoke, Alicia focused her mind, sinking her consciousness, instantly entering the realm of unity with her sword.
At the same time, the spiritual sword in her hand radiated brightly, and the powerful soul power began to coalesce, seemingly brewing a decisive killing move.
“Ahhh!” Lilith seemed to sense the threat Alicia posed, suddenly howling, her body engulfed in red light, trying to attack Alicia.
“Not on my watch!”
Elrose lifted her foot, stomping down on the floor, whereupon dense dark mana instantly transformed into countless chains, climbing up Lilith’s body, binding her completely and rendering her immobile.
Awaken, sacrifice, transcend, evolve…
The voice emanating from the scythe’s giant eye became increasingly mad, and Lilith’s blood aura intensified. Her whole body trembled, trying to unleash all her power to break Elrose’s bindings.
But whether it was Elrose or Apophis, their power far surpassed that of Lilith and the blood-red scythe.
How could Lilith escape?
Finally, the light of the soul sword in Alicia’s hand reached its peak. She locked her gaze and stepped forward, instantly arriving before Lilith.
“Soul Blade·Soul Sever.”
A chilling voice slowly fell, and Alicia’s soul sword slashed with astonishing speed, the blade forged of soul energy instantly reducing the blood-red bats clinging to Lilith’s soul to powder.
These blood-red bats represented the connection between Lilith and the massive scythe, and now, they had been entirely severed.
Lilith’s right hand shook, causing the scythe to slip from her grip.
But the scythe clearly didn’t want to allow Lilith to leave so easily; the massive eye swayed again, releasing crimson light once more.
“Corrosive Light.”
“Shadie!” Alicia shouted immediately.
“Got it.”
Elrose’s lips curled into a slight smile; with the connection between the scythe and Lilith severed, she could finally act boldly.
“Bear witness!”
Elrose’s entire magical power surged, the blade of Apophis in her hand instantly bursting forth with dazzling light.
Turn to ashes!
Taste my great sword, super invincible cosmic limitless primordial heavenly earth’s strongest supreme domineering six path five element, just incredibly unbeatable slash.
Boom!
The pitch-black light exploded instantly, annihilating the corrosive light, engulfing the blood-red scythe.
In the black light, the massive scythe’s eye trembled continuously, its gaze fixed on Elrose: “Humans are evil, and will ultimately be destroyed.”
Ding!
As the spirit’s final words fell, a crisp sound was heard, and the blood-red scythe transformed back into pendant form, falling to the ground.
The battle ended. Elrose sheathed Apophis, exiting the [Transformation] state, and the [Eternal Dark Domain] dissipated.
The darkness lifted, and the surroundings returned to a bright room.
Elrose slowly approached, picked up the pendant, and couldn’t help but smile: “Oh dear brother, stop thinking about those nonsensical things every day; humans aren’t so easily destroyed.”
Elrose held the pendant in her palm and walked slowly to Alicia and Lilith’s side.
“How is Lilith doing?” Elrose asked anxiously.
Alicia’s eyes shimmered, continuously using the Eye of Truth to assess Lilith’s condition.
“Not too good,” Alicia said, her expression somewhat grim: “During the awakening ritual, since Lilith didn’t kill and drink blood, the scythe chose to consume Lilith’s blood directly for the ritual.”
“Fortunately, we managed to end this ritual in time, so while Lilith has lost a lot of blood, her life is not in danger. With Kendrick providing proper nourishment for a few days, she should return to normal.”
“That’s good.” Elrose breathed a sigh of relief, then patted Alicia’s back, gently smiling: “Well done, Alicia, I didn’t realize you were this formidable; not only do you have a sword that can attack souls, but you also wield it so skillfully. If it weren’t for you today, I might have had to cut off Lilith’s hand.”
“Just a small skill,” Alicia replied: “With just this little trick of mine, it’s still far from matching your black giant sword and that ultimate move you used at the end.”
“However, there’s one thing I don’t quite understand—your ultimate move’s name,” Alicia said, somewhat puzzled: “I mean, Shadie, why does your ultimate move have such a long name?”
[Taste my great sword, super invincible cosmic limitless primordial heavenly earth’s strongest supreme domineering six path five element, just incredibly unbeatable—-slash.]
“Forty-one characters, doesn’t it get tiring to say? And during a real battle, it’s especially…”
“Shut up!”
Before Alicia could finish her sentence, Elrose directly interrupted her.
Elrose trembled all over, her teeth chattering, and her gaze was extremely chaotic as she looked at Alicia.
“W-what ultimate move? I—I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“My name is Elrose, not Shadie.”
“You’re looking for Shadie; what does that have to do with me, Elrose?”
“I think you must have mistaken me for someone else.”
