Chapter 279: Yecheng Omega, Unbelievably Strong!
Chapter 279: Yecheng Omega, Unbelievably Strong!
Jeno Gulifi's original plan was to take Princess Alexia away if possible, or if not, to simply eliminate her. After all, she had been confined here for some time and had learned too much about their secrets.
Now that she had escaped, Jeno Gulifi naturally had to pursue and kill her. He didn't believe that a mere cannon fodder, weakened from blood loss and originally not very strong, could possibly escape his grasp.
As for the city at this moment, the leader of the Royal Knight Order, known as the Kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman, Alice Midgall, was currently facing off against a massive creature that was wreaking havoc on the city.
The creature had a demon-like physique but seemed to lack any rationality or consciousness, mindlessly destroying everything around it.
While the monster was gigantic in size, its mana and strength were not particularly impressive.
The troublesome part was its terrifying regenerative ability. Just a second ago, Alice had infused her mana into the great sword in her hand and with a single swing, severed one of the monster's arms.
But as soon as she landed, the monster's arm had completely regenerated, and with a swift sweep, it sent several members of the Royal Knight Order flying.
The knights were flung like broken bags, their bodies crashing into the walls of the surrounding buildings.
The monster's mana and strength were indeed not much to some, but to ordinary Mage Swordsmen, it was an invincible force.
Currently, only Alice Midgall could inflict damage on the creature, while the others' swords couldn't even breach its defenses.
Even Alice, the Kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman and founder of the Heartful School, showed anger on her face as she watched the monster relentlessly destroy the city and her injured subordinates.
She was capable of defeating the monster before her, but that didn't mean she could kill it.
She had already tried; even with her most powerful mana-enhanced strikes, she could only cause limb dismemberment.
For a normal creature, such injuries should have been fatal, as losing a head would typically result in death.
Yet, this monster was still alive and kicking, even after its head was severed.
Each time Alice prepared for another strike, the injuries she had inflicted on the monster were completely regenerated.
Due to this, Alice had consumed a significant amount of mana, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, the monster continued to advance towards the palace, leaving many injured on their side.
After over ten minutes of combat, Alice realized that to defeat this endlessly regenerating monster, there were only two options.
The first was to possess an immense amount of mana power and turn the monster into ashes in one go, leaving no chance for regeneration.
The second option was to launch a series of rapid consecutive attacks within a short time frame.
As long as the injuries were inflicted faster than the monster could regenerate, accumulating enough damage would achieve the goal of defeating it.
While the monster had an absurd regenerative ability, its slow, almost sluggish movement was a noticeable weakness.
Alice was frustrated and helpless, as neither of the proposed solutions was feasible for her.
To instantly turn this giant monster, over ten meters tall, into ashes would require an astonishing amount of mana power. Even if they combined the mana of everyone in the Royal Knight Order, it might not be possible.
The second solution, a quick attack, was slightly more plausible, but unfortunately, it wasn't suitable for her either.
Currently, only Alice could inflict severe damage to the monster among the Royal Knight Order. Therefore, if they were to execute this plan, she would naturally be the one to do it.
However, a glance at the great sword in Alice's hand made it clear that she wasn't a speed-type fighter.
The "Heartful School" she founded leaned more towards the heavy sword style, so she couldn't achieve the second point either.
"Princess Alice—!"
Just as Alice was distracted by her dilemma, a gap formed in their original encirclement. A female member of the Royal Knight Order was about to be smashed into mincemeat by the monster when a silver trail suddenly flashed through the air!
In the pitch-black night, a silver streak flashed, and in the next moment, a gigantic arm flew up. In the vision of the Royal Knight Order, a white-haired boy in the Midgar Mage Knight Academy uniform appeared.
He held an extremely slender knight longsword, and his white hair shimmered brilliantly under the moonlight.
"Yecheng Omega..."
The boy, around fifteen or sixteen, with his handsome appearance, the Midgar Mage Knight Academy uniform, and his standard white hair, was undoubtedly Yecheng Omega, whom Alice had interrogated not long ago. She could confirm this without a doubt.
However, Alice had never imagined that Yecheng would suddenly appear here and sever one of the monster's arms with a single sword strike.
Yecheng Omega, the top-ranked freshman at the Midgar Mage Knight Academy this year, excelled in all aspects, from academics to swordsmanship and mana power, entering the academy with the best results.
Furthermore, Yecheng had a rather impressive title, the so-called 'Son of the Gods'.
Undeniably, just as Alice had previously paid attention to Kreaya, she had also given Yecheng a bit of attention when he enrolled.
After all, to strengthen the Royal Knight Order, recruiting outstanding Mage Swordsmen was essential. In Alice's eyes, Kreaya and Yecheng were promising rising talents.
However, even though Alice had some knowledge of Yecheng and was aware of his title as the 'Son of the Gods' due to his genius, she didn't pay it much mind.
After all, Yecheng came from a remote rural territory, and his family was merely of the baron rank.
To put it bluntly, what kind of vision could one have in a backward, impoverished region? Perhaps Yecheng's talent was indeed remarkable, but it was only within the context of his rural background. If he were in the capital city, where talents abound, Yecheng's title of "genius" might not hold much weight.
As for the title of 'Son of the Gods', Alice felt it was best to just listen and not take it too seriously. She herself had been the top graduate of the Mage Knight Academy and had founded the Heartful School, yet she didn't give herself such a boastful nickname.
