Chapter 636

"Clang!"

When the sword light and the claw light collided once again, it wasn't just sparks that burst forth this time. There were also shockwave-like gusts of wind that spread to the surroundings.

Shien and Mara began their fierce battle without saying a word. The sword light and the claw light turned into a series of continuous attacks, colliding with each other at an alarming speed.

The sound of the collision was like a thunderclap.

The ground continued to crack like a spider web.

The entire royal hall was violently shaken, shaking as if it was on the verge of collapse. The wraiths that filled the hall seemed to be forced to retreat, not daring to approach the battlefield that was filled with sword light and sword shadows.

This gave Tierre, Capeline, and the others a chance to catch their breath.

"Now! Retreat to the back! "

Capeline raised her knight's sword high and stood in front of the group of female knights to protect them as she shouted.

The Broken Blade Knights immediately retreated until they reached the direction of the main entrance. Only then did they stop.

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

Over there, the dried corpses sensed the commotion. They roared and attacked while staggering.

They had been possessed by the aura of death and turned into undead. They had become the puppet army of Mara's undead magic. Naturally, they wouldn't let the living people in front of them go.

However, facing them, the female knights finally displayed their valiant and skillful side.

"Kill!"

Capeline gave the order without hesitation, causing the female knights to shout out one after another as they charged towards the army of the undead.

Some of the female knights remained where they were, chanting incantations and building invisible defensive barriers to fend off the attacking vengeful spirits.

"Boom!"

Capeline's body was covered in layers of magic power. A pair of white wings spread out from her back, making her look like an angel. Holding a knight's sword that was enchanted with [Demon Sword], she charged into the group of wraiths, reducing the pressure on the Broken Blade Knighthood.

"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!" …

Tierre was not to be outdone. She charged into the field, her dual blades that were enchanted with [Demon Sword] raining down like a storm. She kept slashing around her, drawing a dark red blade light and killing all the wraiths that approached her.

Tierre, who had already reached level 70, showed the demeanor of a true powerhouse.

She glanced at the battlefield between Shien and Mara. Seeing that the battle was countless times more intense, she knew that if she went forward, not only would she not be of help, she might even be a burden to Shien.

Therefore, Tierre calmly kept her distance and only killed the wraiths. She wanted to reduce the pressure on Shien by eliminating Mara's aura of death.

Unfortunately, the [Demon Sword] could cut the wraiths, but it could not purify the aura of death.

Whether it was Tierre or the female knights of the Broken Blade Knights, the wraiths that they killed seemed to have disintegrated, but in reality, they were just reverting to their death qi state. After a while, they would immediately turn back into wraiths and continue to attack.

In other words, they could not be destroyed.

At this rate, they would be exhausted to death sooner or later.

On the contrary, wherever Capeline's longsword passed by, all the vengeful spirits would be purified by the faint white light on the longsword the moment they were killed, completely annihilated into nothingness.

"Is this the power brought by the blessing of the Goddess of Justice?"

With the blessing of the Goddess of Justice, Capeline would more or less have some ability to deal with this kind of evil power.

Perhaps, even if Capeline was hit by Mara's [Grand Duke of Terror], her life would not be taken away.

After all, the blessing of the Goddess of Justice would expel the influence of negative power on Capeline, so that she would not be eroded by the aura of death.

After all, the blessing of the Goddess of Justice would dispel the influence of negative power on Capeline, so that she would not be eroded by the aura of death.

If not for this, Capeline might have been turned into a half-human, half-zombie monster by Mara's necromancy magic in the underground prison, and she would have been in so much pain that she would rather die.

Thanks to the blessing of the Goddess of Justice, Capeline was safe and sound.

Then …

"What can I do in this situation?"

While slaying the vengeful wraiths, Tierre kept thinking.

She wanted to help Shien.

She also wanted to take the opportunity to achieve her own goal.

"Is my horn here or not?"

Tierre's mind raced as she scanned the surroundings.

However, it was this subconscious action that allowed Tierre, the one blessed by the Goddess of Destiny, to luckily avoid the disaster that was about to come.

"…!"

Tierre inadvertently saw a silhouette among the undead approaching her at an extremely fast speed, and her heart skipped a beat.

In the next second, Tierre retreated without hesitation.

Clang!

At the same time, the figure approached Tierre at high speed and arrived in front of her. A cold sword light appeared in the figure's hand and slashed at Tierre's throat.

Tierre's sudden retreat allowed her to narrowly dodge the attack.

"Ha!"

Tierre took a step back and suddenly dashed out like a bullet towards the figure that missed its attack. She slashed out the sharp sword in her hand.

Clang!

Amidst the clear clashing noise, Tierre's sharp sword was bounced off by the figure and even bounced back. The impact numbed Tierre's hand between her thumb and forefinger, almost causing her to drop her weapon.

"Tsk …!"

Tierre was speechless. She knew the figure wasn't someone to be trifled with.

But at the same time, Tierre saw the figure's face clearly.

"It's you …!?"

Tierre's expression changed when she saw the familiar face.

"Hehe … Hahahaha … Hahahahaha …!"

The figure let out an uncontrollable laugh as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. His voice was filled with ecstasy.

In mid-air, Capeline, who was slaying the vengeful spirits, noticed this scene.

"Wollin Leffelut …!"

Capeline called out the name in shock.

The figure was Wollin.

"You're still alive."

Tierre distanced herself from Wollin and looked at him with a heavy expression.

Wollin's eyes seemed to only have Tierre. He seemed to be enjoying Tierre's attention as he smiled happily.

"Of course I'm still alive." Wollin stared at Tierre and grinned, "Although I thought I was dead when Shien Bottutt appeared in Leffelut's house, fortunately, he didn't notice that I've swapped places with the 'tentacles' and escaped."

'Tentacles'.

Wollin sometimes used this term to describe his' clones'.

Tierre had been dealing with Wollin for the past month in the Imperial City. She even saw Wollin in his knight form when she was in the Imperial City. So she knew what the so-called 'tentacles' that Wollin mentioned were.

It was Wollin's unique skill.

"Through finger contact, the tentacles can consume the skin and hair of the target that they killed with their own hands, granting the finger the same attributes as the target. With that, when the finger is chopped off, it will immediately transform into a clone that has the same appearance and magical presence as the target."

Tierre explained Wollin's ability in a deep voice.

"The strength of the clone is only half of the target's strength, and it can't affect targets that are of a higher level than itself. The clone can train and improve itself, but its strength can't exceed the main body, and the limit is only up to the target's strength at the time of contact. After that, there won't be any improvement, right?"

This was Wollin's unique skill – [Devouring Self].

"Seems like you know me well enough." Wollin sneered, "That's right. This is the ability of my unique skill. It allows me to have a total of ten 'tentacles' as clones. Even if the finger that is chopped off is healed by magic, the finger can't become a 'tentacle' anymore. That's why the number of 'tentacles' is only ten."

But it was precisely because of the existence of these ten "tentacles" that Wally was able to shine in the Lefferut family's training facility. Not only did he manage to preserve his life, but he also stepped over countless corpses to become the most outstanding assassin and was adopted by Direcis.

Of course, the limitations of these 'tentacles' weren't only limited to the ones that Tierre mentioned.

"Once my 'tentacles' die, they're really dead. Not only can they never recover, but I, as the main body, will also suffer a certain degree of damage."

Wollin pointed at his heart.

"Thanks to this, when you pierced through the heart of my 'tentacle' in the Royal Capital, I experienced that strike as if it was my own body, Tierre Albeyin."

Wollin then turned his finger into a claw, clutching his heart hard and showed a paranoid, cold smile at Tierre.

"From that moment onwards, I swore that I will use the same method to pierce your heart, keep your body, and turn you into my last 'tentacle'."

Hearing that, Tierre's expression didn't change, she just stared at Wollin coldly.

That ice-cold expression and murderous gaze made Wollin's body tremble, even his heartbeat accelerated.

He remembered that expression.

That expression was the one when Tierre killed him.

That expression had appeared in Wally's dreams countless times. He was mesmerized by it, and at the same time, it drove him crazy.

He knew from that moment onwards, something was wrong with him.

He wanted to kill Tierre more than anyone else.

At the same time, he had an indescribable feeling towards Tierre.

That was why Wollin made up his mind to kill Tierre and turn her into his last 'tentacle' for safekeeping.

"Back in Lefelut Family's training facility, in order to survive, I lost four of my 'tentacles' in reserve."

"After that, during my mission as Lefelut Family's adopted son, I lost another three 'tentacles' in reserve."

"As for the remaining three, one of them was killed by you, another one was swapped out by Shien Porztutt as a scapegoat, all that's left is the last one!"

Wollin showed a frenzied expression as he shouted.

"I will turn you into my last 'tentacle'! Tierre Albein! "

Wollin then raised the weapon in his hand.

The glittering golden sword caused Tierre and Capeline's expressions to change on the spot.

Especially Capeline.

"Holy Sword Replica …!"

It was the Sacred Sword imitation that he had lost.
