Chapter 333: The Night City Draws the Holy Sword!
Chapter 333: The Night City Draws the Holy Sword!
"Night City..."
When Alpha called him a clown, the bald bishop's face turned extremely ugly. Just as he was about to retort, he seemed to realize something, his initial anger and ugliness gradually turning into astonishment and disbelief.
"To be precise, it should be the Nightshadow, Shadow and Nightshadow. Do you understand what I mean, clown?"
Seeing the bald bishop's disbelieving expression, Alpha delivered a devastating blow, instantly plunging the bald bishop, who had just ignited a glimmer of hope, back into an even more desperate state.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The Diabros Cult's intelligence clearly stated that Night City Omiga and Nightshadow had a huge conflict.
And during the Goddess's Trial, they were clearly fighting to the death. You even threatened him using his family!
I understand now, you're just trying to trick me, trying to make me slip up, right?"
The truth was so unbelievable to the bald bishop that he became hysterical.
It wasn't hard to understand why. If Night City was truly at odds with the Shadow Manor as the intelligence suggested, he might have had a glimmer of hope for survival. But in this situation, what other option did he have besides a dead end? And if everything Alpha said was true, just how powerful was the 'Shadow Manor'?
Let's not even mention the "Seven Shadows" for now. The power Shadow displayed during the Goddess's Trial was already on par with the former Demon Diabros.
He had thought he could use the rule-breaking Night City Omiga to restrain the opponent, but he never expected that they were actually in cahoots.
The bald bishop, in a state of bitter resentment, was eliminated by Alpha. Even in his final moments, he managed to use his authority to awaken Olivier's statue nearby.
But not only was the awakened Olivier statue of no use, even Olivier's remains in his prime would have been futile here.
Setting aside the memory fragments of Aurora and Olivier, either Night City or Sida could easily defeat Olivier.
"Night City, now that the nuisance is taken care of, let's hurry and draw the Holy Sword.
If even you can't draw it, we'll have to resort to special measures, like using overwhelming force to destroy the Holy Domain from within."
After the bald bishop was eliminated, Sida also urged Alpha to try and draw the Holy Sword.
After all, not only was Alpha Olivier's descendant, but their resemblance was uncanny, and the Lake Holy Sword was once Olivier's weapon, so theoretically, Alpha had a high chance of gaining its recognition.
Unfortunately, despite Alpha's attempt, the Holy Sword only wobbled slightly and couldn't be fully drawn.
With everyone else having tried and failed, Night City had no choice but to step forward and attempt to draw the Holy Sword.
As he tightly gripped the hilt of the sword and lifted it slightly, a dazzling light emanated from the blade.
"Swoosh———"
The Lake Holy Sword was drawn out effortlessly, and Night City, feeling the unusual ease of the process, even without the slightest resistance, looked at Sida and Alpha in astonishment, "Are you sure you weren't playing me just now?"
As the Holy Sword was drawn, the surrounding space began to crack like porcelain, and the figures of Aurora and Olivier gradually faded.
Gazing at Yecheng, who had drawn the Holy Sword, and at Sida, who was constantly bickering with him, Aurora's face blossomed into a captivating smile. "I truly hope to encounter such interesting people like you again in the future."
Upon witnessing Yecheng draw the Holy Sword, Olivier wore an expression of nonchalant acceptance, turning to Yecheng and saying, "Yecheng, I'm genuinely delighted to have met you.
As I suspected, you have earned the recognition of the Holy Sword... No, perhaps from the very beginning, you were guided here by the Holy Sword."
Due to the curse, demon-possessed individuals are predominantly from the elven race. Though it may sound excessive, I implore you to aid my people to the best of your abilities..."
As the Holy Domain shattered, the figures of Olivier and Aurora gradually dissipated into specks of light in the air.
Having manifested in the form of memory fragments, they could only exist within the Holy Domain. Now that the Holy Domain had shattered, their traces would naturally vanish completely.
Watching as Olivier, who bore an identical appearance to herself, slowly dissipated in the wind, Alpha couldn't help but wear an expression filled with emotion.
However, this very reason also strengthened her determination. She was now more resolute than ever to crush the Diabros Cult! The past entanglements between the demon Diabros and the Three Heroes remained a mystery to them, but the role played by the Diabros Cult in this affair was undoubtedly the most despicable!
With the Holy Domain gone, Medis and Kreaya, who had entered it earlier, naturally reappeared in the trial arena.
After accomplishing their objective, Alpha and the others from Shadow Manor departed, accompanied by Sid, who had also donned the guise of Lord Shadow.
In other words, when Medis and the others emerged from the Holy Domain, the only one they saw was Yecheng, standing in disbelief with the Blue Holy Sword in hand.
Gazing at the Blue Holy Sword in his hand, Yecheng, who was still rooted to the spot, muttered to himself, "What is going on in this world? Am I really the Hero? This is too absurd!"
In the royal capital of the Kingdom of Midgar, at the training camp of the Crimson Knights, Princess Alice, after hearing Yecheng and Alexia's report, couldn't help but wear an expression of disbelief.
Upon their return to the royal capital, Yecheng and Alexia naturally had to report on the events that transpired in the Holy Land.
"Your Highness, I believe that Shadow Manor and Lord Shadow might not truly be our enemies. Instead of hunting them down, I think we should focus on suppressing the reckless Diabros Cult."
Having witnessed a portion of Olivier's memories during their journey to the Holy Domain, Alexia held a deep-seated hatred for the cult's actions.
"If what you say is true, then the actions of the Diabros Cult are indeed unforgivable. However, we cannot solely rely on the one-sided account of Shadow Manor."
Hearing Alice's words, Alexia couldn't help but sigh. The negative impression left by Shadow Manor and Lord Shadow on her royal sister was so deep-rooted that it would likely be a challenging task to clear their names in a short period.
"Compared to the matters of the Diabros Cult and Shadow Manor, I've heard that Yecheng displayed exceptional prowess during the Goddess's Trial..."
As Alice spoke, she glanced at Yecheng, who was doing his best to downplay his presence.
