"Boom!!"
There was an explosion as Fangzheng looked up. He could see dust and smoke not far away.
It's really troublesome! But …
He looked around. Because of the explosion, many people had come out of their rooms. They stood at the door and windows, looking curiously at the place where the sound came from.
Things have become troublesome. Fangzheng, of course, knew that there were many World Tree minions in this city. If possible, he didn't want his battle to be seen by them … But now …
I have no choice but to use that!
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng hurriedly turned around and ran into a nearby alley. He raised his right hand, and soon, the pitch-black greatsword appeared in Fangzheng's hand again. He gripped the greatsword tightly and stabbed it into the ground.
"Absolute Seal!"
Scorching flames burned the whole world at that moment.
"What's going on?"
Red Saber's eyes widened in surprise. She saw 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 heat that accompanied the flames. On the contrary, when she raised her head again and looked forward, she found that everything had changed.
The original house had long since disappeared. In its place was a huge city that seemed to have been abandoned long ago. She and Illya were standing on the high walls of the city.
"This is … an inherent barrier?"
Red Saber sneered when she sensed the magic in the air. She gripped the longsword in her hand again and looked at Illya in front of her.
"Very good, I didn't expect you to have this ability. Let's see what else you can do!"
While shouting, Red Saber swung her sword again and slashed at Illya. Illya gripped the holy sword in her hand, gritted her teeth, and faced the enemy in front of her.
"Clang!!"
The two swords clashed. Red Saber's swordsmanship was as wild as a storm, fiercely attacking the enemy in front of her. Illya, on the other hand, was struggling to hold on with the power of the Heroic Spirit obtained by "Dream Summoning". Sword after sword, then sword after sword, both sides engaged in a chaotic battle on the high wall.
The intense sword aura tore through the rubble on the high wall. Using the holy sword in her hand, Illya barely managed to block the attack. Red Saber's swordsmanship was so fierce that even Illya felt like she was no match for it ….
"Haaaaaah!"
Red Saber once again swung her sword, and this time, Ilya finally couldn't hold on any longer. Under the huge impact, she flew backward and fell to the ground.
Not good!
Sensing that something was amiss, Illya quickly rolled over and tried to stand up. But just as she looked up, she saw a steel boot stomping down on her. All Illya could do was to curl her body as hard as she could in an attempt to evade the violent strike. But what she did not expect was that the moment the steel boot landed on the ground, it suddenly changed direction and kicked her in the abdomen.
"Wu —!"
Along with a muffled groan, Illya was sent flying like a cannonball and slammed into a nearby wall. The girl's petite body slid down the wall and fell against it. At the same time, the sharp sword in Red Saber's hand mercilessly stabbed towards Illya's chest.
"Clang!!"
But at the last moment, Illya mustered up the strength to block the almost fatal blow from Red Saber, so the sword in her hand did not pierce Illya's heart. Instead, it brushed past Illya's shoulder and stuck into the wall beside Illya.
"Who the hell are you …?!"
Red Saber looked at Illya coldly. Her voice was mixed with unconcealable anger and wavering. At first, she was only angry because of the holy sword in Illya's hand, but as they fought, the anger in Red Saber's heart grew stronger and stronger.
Because she was — Mordred.
In the legend of King Arthur, the last Knight of the Round Table who betrayed King Arthur and eventually led to King Arthur's death. She 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 recognize you as my child, and I will not entrust the throne to you."
At that moment, Mordred finally knew that no matter how hard she worked, no matter how outstanding she was, she would never be recognized by King Arthur.
Anger rose in her heart at that moment. After that, she finally raised the flag of betrayal and destroyed everything that King Arthur once had.
Because of this, she was so angry when she saw the holy sword in Illya's hand.
That was the symbol of the King. It should have been her proof, but now, it was in the hands of such a little girl! How could this little girl obtain something that she could not obtain after trying everything she had?!
At first, for Mordred, that was all. But as the battle between her and Illya continued, the anger in Mordred's heart grew stronger. 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 the hell is she?!
Mordred felt like her head was about to explode. Although the girl's swordsmanship looked a little inexperienced and immature, it was undoubtedly the swordsmanship of the King of Knights. Mordred was certain that it was the King's swordsmanship, but … the little girl in front of her, no matter how she looked at it, could not be King Arthur. Not to mention the age difference, the color of her hair and appearance were also worlds apart from King Arthur's.
But because of that, Mordred became even more furious.
Because she had a very bad idea.
Why does this girl have the holy sword? Why does she have the King's swordsmanship?
There was only one answer, and that was that she was the true heir to King Arthur! She was the one who inherited the King's holy sword and the one who would inherit the throne, the child recognized by King Arthur!
That's right, it's her. She stole everything from me. That must be it!
"Who the hell are you?!"
Mordred almost roared this time. She racked her brains but could not remember when King Arthur had a child. Although everyone knew that King Arthur and Guinevere were married, Mordred knew very well that the King and Guinevere did not have a child, and the King did not have any other women. So, how did she give birth to a child?
That was the only thing she wanted to know now, but Illya could not answer her question at all.
In fact, Illya did not even understand what Saber was talking about.
"Since you don't want to answer, then die!!"
Mordred gave up on asking any more questions. She once again raised the weapon in her hand and stabbed it at Illya — this time, she would not miss.
But at the next moment, Mordred suddenly turned around and swung her sword at a pitch-black arrow. Metallic sparks flashed in an instant and Mordred swiftly retreated. At the same time, Illya seized the opportunity to leap up and stand up once again.
"Blackie, just in time!"
"Haa …"
On the tower in the distance, Blackie, holding a longbow, stared helplessly at the distant city wall and sighed.
