Chapter 92: Sudden Change
“Hentai!”
“Shinei!”
With a loud shout from Elrose, a dense magic formation suddenly appeared beneath her shoes, releasing a terrifying amount of mana that seemed ready to engulf Lance’s head in the next moment.
“Spare me, little hero!” Lance cried out in agony.
“Spare you? Do I look like a soft-hearted person?” Elrose sneered, “The only reason I didn’t kill you with one sword just now is that I was afraid of collapsing the entire town. And you, with the audacity to do something like that (steal my underwear), there’s no way I’m letting you leave here alive tonight.”
“No, you can’t do this.” Lance said with a heart-wrenching plea, “I’m a Saint Tier Expert registered with the Sacred Domain; my life is guaranteed by the Sacred Domain; you can’t kill me.”
“Sacred Domain?” Elrose raised an eyebrow, contemptuous, “What the hell is that, never heard of it.”
Lance turned pale and hurried to explain, “The Sacred Domain is the largest power in the entire human realm. All human Saint Tier experts fall under its management. According to their rules, human Saint Tier experts are the most valuable combat resources of humanity and are not allowed to engage in private fights that result in each other’s deaths. If you kill me, you will definitely face the Holy Judgement of the Sacred Domain.”
“Oh, really?” Elrose laughed dismissively, “Then I think I’ll just give it a try.”
As she spoke, the magic formation beneath Elrose’s shoes blazed with black light, and Lance’s life hung by a thread.
But in the next moment.
“Rumble!”
Golden thunderbolts descended from the sky like divine punishment.
Elrose’s eyes widened suddenly as she raised her hands, and a defensive barrier appeared above her head.
The thunder clashed violently with the barrier, producing a deafening sound, and a terrifying explosion erupted, filling the entire street with thick smoke.
“Ugh.”
Elrose shouted and was thrown back, but she quickly adjusted her posture and hovered in the air.
Damn it, who is attacking me?
Elrose looked up sharply, and a tiny magic formation formed in her pupils.
【Super Long-Range Vision】
With the help of magic, Elrose’s vision instantly expanded far into the distance, piercing through layers of clouds to the heights of the sky.
There was a massive magic formation enveloping the entire sky, twisting with golden light, as if containing infinite mysteries.
Elrose recognized that formation.
It was the greatest blessing bestowed upon humanity by the deities to resist the Demon Clan, and its effectiveness was on par with that of any Legendary Artifact held by a hero.
That was the Saint Lanya Barrier.
Although the Saint Lanya Barrier usually remained in a defensive state, invisible to anyone, under the control of the Sacred Domain, when the attack mode was activated, its true form was fully revealed.
“Step back, monster.” A voice of utmost sanctity resonated.
Elrose squinted her eyes, and suddenly a faint golden silhouette appeared before Lance, looking down on her aloofly.
The woman was as pure as light, with platinum hair, colorless bright eyes, and a shapely, voluptuous figure. Along with the dazzling golden light radiating from her, she appeared almost like a divine goddess descended from the heavens—sacred and pure, evoking awe that made one hesitate to desecrate her holiness.
Holy and pure, making one hesitate to desecrate.
Lance looked in disbelief at the stunning figure in front of him; he recognized who she was.
She was the dream goddess of countless men, the representative of the deity in the hearts of countless believers, and also the authority of the entire Sacred Domain—the strongest of the Sacred Domain, the Light Saintess, Elweiss.
However, even though Lance recognized her, he had no idea why Elweiss was here.
Could it be that, in some inadvertent moment, he had captured the heart of the Saintess, and she had traveled a great distance to rescue him in his time of need?
Wow, I’m really amazing.
Ahem, just kidding.
He still had the self-awareness to understand that Elweiss was someone of great stature. While he might be considered high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people as a Saint Tier Expert, in Elweiss’s eyes, he may not even be as important as an ordinary believer of the Holy Church.
“S-Saintess, what brings you here?” Lance asked, a bit confused.
Elweiss looked at Lance and gently said, “Lancelot Griffin, step back. Thank you for causing such a commotion today; it has helped us pinpoint the location of our target. The rest is up to me.”
Lance was slightly taken aback. Although he didn’t fully understand Elweiss’s words, it seemed like he was safe now, so he hurriedly rose and retreated to a safer position in the back.
Elrose watched the woman before her warily, drawing Apophis and pointing it at her, “Who are you?”
“That question should be asked by me,” the holy voice rang out again as the woman fixed her gaze on Elrose, “Who are you?”
“Me?” Elrose replied, brandishing her cloak dramatically with a domineering smile, “Since you asked so sincerely, I will graciously tell you, in order to prevent…”
“Ugh, forget it, I don’t need to know who you are.” Elweiss raised her right hand and said solemnly, “The bug in the world must be corrected.”
As she spoke, Elweiss’s slender, jade-like hand suddenly waved downwards. Far above in the sky, the energy of the Saint Lanya Barrier gathered once more, and several golden thunderbolts suddenly struck down.
“Hmph, using the same trick, you think it will work twice?”
Elrose sneered, gripping Apophis and swinging it towards the sky, dark energy surged upward to clash violently with the golden thunder.
“Boom!” The massive explosion dyed the entire cloud layer a brilliant gold.
Elrose looked at Elweiss with disdain, “The Saint Lanya Barrier is nothing special after all.”
Elweiss was momentarily taken aback, expressing surprise, “Oh, you actually know this is an attack from the Saint Lanya Barrier.”
“Of course.” Elrose slung Apophis over her shoulder and coldly smiled, “If I said that I once blasted it to smithereens with just one shot, would you believe me?”
“Pfft.” Lance, who was nearby, couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Hahaha, you crazy girl full of nonsense! The Saint Lanya Barrier has stood for countless years without collapsing, and you claim you destroyed it? Hahaha, do you want to make me die laughing?”
Elrose shook her head helplessly. After what happened with Luna earlier, she had grown somewhat accustomed to situations where people wouldn’t believe her. So she had no intention of offering further explanations.
I believe it.
Elrose looked at Elweiss in surprise, “What did you say?”
“I said I believe you. I believe what you said, that you once destroyed the Saint Lanya Barrier,” Elweiss said calmly, “But because of that, your danger level might need to be raised a bit more.”
A sense of ominous premonition surged in Elrose’s heart: “W-What do you intend to do?”
Elweiss remained silent, slowly raising her right hand toward the shining Saint Lanya Barrier in the distant sky, and declared in a loud voice: “Sequence Number, NO.999, Name: Unknown World Error, Disaster Level raised to the maximum level, World Destruction Level.”
Elweiss took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, “Sacred Weapon, activate!”
At that instant.
In a hall located 108,000 miles away from Karashok, an ancient bow slowly floated into the air.
There was no one to hold it, yet its bowstring began to tauten.
A golden arrow appeared instantly.
“Boom!”
The sound was like a great earth-shattering explosion, and the golden arrow shot forth instantaneously.
It was like a golden meteor, piercing through the air, tearing space apart, crossing thousands of miles in just a few breaths, appearing right before the black-haired girl.
