"Ovina?"
Even Brando couldn't find the origin of this name no matter how hard he tried, let alone the others. Only Roman asked in a trembling voice, "You, how did you impersonate me!?"
Ovina glanced at Roman and paused. "I see."
"Huh? What do you mean? "The merchant girl was confused.
The lightning girl turned around and frowned at Brando on the ground. "You seem to have inherited the authority from the Society of Truth, but you clearly have a higher authority. How strange … Let me see, it's really strange. You have the aura of Gaia's will."
She turned her head and swept her gaze over all the others, pausing only for a moment on William. The great mage of the Silver Alliance frowned and didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something. But Ovina's eyes lit up when she saw Freya.
"The descendant of the Goddess of War's guards. I didn't think this bloodline would still exist in this world." She said with slight admiration.
Brando heard the lightning girl's words, of course, but he felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. He had never heard of any of the terms Ovina mentioned. Even in his past experience in the game, there was no mention of this.
He frowned. "My lady, who are you? You are a heroic spirit. Whose will do you represent? "
"Me?" The lightning girl took a step forward and lifted her chin. "Human, according to your records, you should call me the Knight of Azure."
The Knight of Azure.
These three words echoed in Brando's mind. He opened his mouth but seemed to have lost the ability to speak.
The others weren't any better than him, or worse. Metisha almost dropped the spear in her hand. Behind the princess, Makarov and the others kept muttering to themselves. "This is impossible … this is impossible …"
In front of them was the Azure Knight who had shattered the heavens, caused the stars to fall to the ground, and brought about the era of mortals.
If one were to ask what was the most famous epic in the history of The Amber Sword, it would definitely be the Pale Poem. If one were to ask which part of the Pale Poem was the most widespread, it would definitely be the legend of the Azure Knight.
That was the ancestor of all Knight epics. Later generations had made up countless stories based on this legend. Almost all the Knight's fantasies had the shadow of this legendary character.
But she was actually a woman?
Everyone couldn't help but find it hard to accept. Only Roman, after confirming that the other party wasn't pretending to be her, asked curiously: "But why do you look exactly like me?"
"Time flows like a long river. Among the billions of stars, there are always two that are so similar. This is just a coincidence," the lightning girl replied in a low voice.
Brando felt like this lady was spouting nonsense. He asked, "Master Knight, may I ask what you meant by what you said before?"
Ovina glanced at him and answered, "You heard what I said, and that's that. What I didn't say, I won't tell you. In this world, all secrets have a price. "
"What kind of price do I have to pay?" Brando asked with a frown. In the game, the players had been trying to solve a riddle, the final path to the Power of Existence. Obviously, no one had succeeded. But Brando had a feeling that the term Ovina mentioned before might have something to do with the final door.
Because ever since the fall of Babel Fortress, ancient knowledge was lost to the earth. There were no more records of the Power of Existence. Since then, no matter if it was the Gold Citizens or the Silver Citizens, no one had ever truly opened the final door.
Even the high and mighty Dragon Race stopped at the peak of the Gold Body.
Brando looked at Ovina seriously, but the female Knight made of lightning shook her head. "You can't afford to pay them, human. Alright, tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"
"Purpose?" Brando came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of their trip. "Master, we accidentally found the Azure Lance that you once used. We hope to gain its approval."
"I see." The lightning girl nodded. She looked up at the entire hall. "This should be the ruins of Barbard's Great Hall. You probably haven't heard of this name. So to you, what is this place? What year has it been in the outside world? "
"This is now the territory of the Kingdom of Erouine. It is the underground of a trading port, Ampere Seale. Master Knight," Princess Gryphine's voice sounded. "This is the first era, the year 376."
"The Chaos Era has ended?" The lightning girl muttered to herself. "Are there still Divine Citizens on the earth?"
"Divine Citizens?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What kind of term was that? Even to the players, that was a background that only existed in legends.
Ovina looked at their expressions and understood what had happened. However, there was no sadness or joy on her face. She only replied, "I see, I understand."
She looked up and replied, "You said that if you want to gain the approval of the Azure Lance, it's very simple. You just have to defeat me."
Defeat you?
Brando almost choked on his own saliva. She was the legendary ancient hero who shattered the heavens and ushered in a new era. Legend had it that the Azure Knight was a hero who lived in the era before Babel Fortress was destroyed. She almost certainly had existential power, and even in that terrifying era, her power was at the top of the line.
From this, one could tell how terrifying the lightning girl's power was.
Although he knew that it would not be easy to obtain the Azure Lance – after all, The Amber Sword was first and foremost a game, and since it was a game, there was no such thing as a free lunch – Brando did not expect the conditions of this' dungeon 'to be so simple and yet so demanding.
Defeating the Azure Knight's Heroic Spirit was enough.
The question was, was that even possible?
Brando could roughly estimate based on the power of the previous attack. Even if he was at his peak in the game, and with the help of the other top players in the Grecius Knight Squad, he might not be able to defeat the lightning girl in front of him.
He could not help but wonder. He asked, "My Lady, may I know, how much power does your Heroic Spirit have when you were alive?"
Ovina smiled slightly. "You are very smart, human. You even know to investigate your opponent's power. But I'm afraid my answer will disappoint you. As long as I am in this hall, my power is equal to my peak power. "
Everyone felt as if they had been punched in the face.
Makarov and the others could not help but look at the legendary mage from the Silver Alliance. But William could not help but smile bitterly. Although his power was close to the peak of the mortal world, it was not enough in the face of the Power of Existence.
He shook his head. There was no chance of winning.
"This is too much." Princess Gryphine was stunned. She could not help but frown as she replied, "My Lady, how could anyone defeat you?"
"Little half-elf girl, if you cannot defeat me, what right do you have to use my weapon?" The lightning girl smiled and replied.
Brando frowned. Unlike everyone else, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with this condition.
A game would never set a condition that could not be completed.
Her Highness asked a good question. Who could defeat the Azure Knight? Even in his era, which player would dare to claim that they could defeat the Azure Knight, let alone the people present here?
Or even further back, as long as they could not control the Power of Existence, there was no possibility of victory.
He immediately thought of something fishy.
He raised his head and saw a pair of eyes looking at him. It was a pair of black eyes with a hint of light purple luster. Under the slender eyebrows, together with the beautiful black hair, it set off the heroic and vigorous face.
The female Knight stared at him. The meaning in her eyes was clear.
But she still mouthed a warning, "Word trap."
Brando reacted immediately. He did not have time to think about why Maynild would suddenly think of this problem. But he had already raised his head and asked Ovina, "My Lady Knight, are you saying that as long as we are in this hall, your power will be equal to your power at the peak of your power?"
The lightning girl was stunned and looked at him.
Brando already understood, "My Lady Knight, as long as I defeat you, I will be recognized by the Azure Lance?"
"Yes." Ovina nodded.
"That's good," Brando suddenly leaped backward and shouted at The Shire beside him, "The Shire, Dragon Strike!"
The young wizard squire understood the moment his Lord spoke. Since Ovina was undefeatable in this hall, then they would change the battlefield. He reached out to the ground and the halo of Law Magic gathered in his palm, dazzling —
"What do you think you're doing!"
Ovina's eyebrows, made of lightning, twitched. Then anger flooded her face, "I hate opportunistic people the most!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight. Then the Roman's scream rang out, "Brando, behind you!"
Brando's heart went cold. Normally, in a situation like this, the first thing anyone would do would be to attack The Shire to cancel the spell in his hand. But Ovina obviously saw through his relationship with The Shire. In other words, she knew he was a Planeswalker.
Brando felt a chill run down his back. He didn't even have a chance to fight back. A cold hand that didn't seem to be made of lightning had already grabbed his back.
"Order him to stop!" The lightning girl's voice was frighteningly cold.
"No, The Shire, cast the spell! There's some kind of Law here that she can't hurt anyone! "Brando immediately shouted.
Ovina paused, "… How did you know?"
Brando smiled proudly, "Because you just stabbed me with your spear, did you forget?"
"You noticed?" The lightning girl's almost platinum eyes were filled with disbelief, "You're a smart guy, but you think that's enough to make me helpless?"
Brando saw the cold, smug smile on Ovina's face and knew something was wrong. He followed her gaze and looked over. In that direction, the beam of light from Charles's Dragon Strike had already left his hand and hit the ground. The hall was already extremely fragile after countless years. With just one hit, the ground cracked and looked like it was about to collapse.
But at that moment, Ovina said coldly, "Power of Fate, History Reversal."
Just eight words.
And then a miracle happened.
