Chapter 704: Princess's Defeat, Chaos in the God of War Festival!
Alice held the ancient artifact greatsword and unleashed a startling display of red mana, her body also rushing towards Modred with astonishing speed.
The sword technique Alice employed was the Iron Sword School, known for its formidable attack power and devastating force.
In Alice's hands, an ordinary longsword would struggle to withstand a single battle before shattering completely.
The red ancient artifact greatsword she wielded was a secret treasure of the Midgar Royal Family, once a source of pride for Alice. She was not supposed to rely on such external objects to win.
But this 'God of War Festival' had too many formidable opponents, and she was well aware that if she lost the competition, the people of the Midgar Kingdom would completely lose hope in the royal family.
"Boom——————!"
As Alice's red greatsword struck Modred, a burst of red mana, like lightning striking the ground, caused the ground to crack instantly.
"The First Princess of Midgar? In terms of strength, she is indeed a genius demon swordsman. But possessing ancient artifact weapons is not exclusive to you!"
Alice's downward slash with the greatsword was blocked by Modred's outstretched arm.
The ancient artifact greatsword, combined with her iron sword technique and mana, should have been enough to effortlessly shatter a building, yet it was stopped by the armored wrist of her opponent.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, one would notice that the armguard on Modred's wrist was no ordinary item.
Runes glowed on the armguard, forming a mana barrier that completely blocked Alice's strike.
After blocking Alice's attack with his wrist, Modred kicked her in the abdomen, sending her flying. He then slowly drew his sword from his waist.
It was a green-bladed demon sword, also an ancient artifact like the red greatsword in Alice's hand!
As Alice flew backward, Modred, standing in his original position, casually waved his demon sword a couple of times.
But the next moment, Alice's body, still flying backward, inexplicably sensed danger and hastily braced herself with her hand to perform a sideways somersault.
Almost instantly after Alice's somersault, two deep slashes appeared on the ground where she had just been standing.
Clearly, this was the ability of the green demon sword in Modred's hand, capable of unleashing invisible slashes!
Having narrowly avoided the unknown danger, Alice had no time to catch her breath before Modred's cloak behind him suddenly lifted, accompanied by a burst of light, and his figure abruptly appeared in front of her!
"Not only weapons, but even the armor and cloak are ancient artifacts!" Alice couldn't help but be astonished. Ancient artifact items and equipment were exceptionally rare and precious.
Alice, as the First Princess of the Midgar Kingdom, possessed only a single red ancient artifact greatsword, while her opponent was clad in divine armor from head to toe.
The short-distance teleportation, or rather, the ability to charge at high speed, was evidently a power of his cloak.
Facing Modred, who had suddenly appeared before her, Alice had no time to think and could only use her red greatsword to block his strike.
"Dong——————!"
The sound reverberated like a bell throughout the arena, and as Modred's mana burst, Alice's figure emerged from the dust, coughing up blood and flying backward.
Although she had blocked Modred's attack head-on, her body, flying backward, crashed directly into the walls surrounding the arena.
The battle between Alice and Modred seemed to have lasted for an extended period, but in reality, their exchange was swift, and everything that transpired occurred in the blink of an eye.
When the spectators in the arena finally reacted, they realized that Alice, who had always been regarded as the "Strongest Mage Swordsman" in their minds, was now embedded in the wall.
To be fair, in terms of pure magical power, Alice was no weaker than Modred, and her sword skills were even more exceptional.
However, compared to Modred, Alice had limited real combat experience, and her previous opponents were too weak to provide her with the challenges needed for growth.
Furthermore, Modred's divine armor compensated for his weaknesses in defense and speed, making it only natural that Alice was at a disadvantage.
As Modred slowly approached Alice, who was stuck in the wall, with his sword in hand, a judge who had just stepped forward to say something was suddenly sliced into multiple pieces by Modred's demon sword, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
This unexpected scene shocked the audience, who had been clamoring for bloodshed. While their earlier cries were mostly just for show, they never imagined that someone would dare to kill so recklessly during the God of War Festival.
Moreover, the fact that Modred showed no hesitation in killing the judge indicated that he was not someone to be trifled with.
The thought that he could kill a judge made everyone wonder if he would also target them. While they were fine with enjoying the spectacle, they became concerned for their own safety.
Modred's ruthless actions instantly plunged the entire God of War Festival arena into panic. The spectators, especially the nobles, frantically tried to escape, fearing for their lives.
The nobles, in particular, believed their lives were far more valuable than those of commoners.
It was evident that Modred and his allies were well-prepared and had targeted the Midgar Royal Family. As mere kingdom nobles, they saw no reason to stay and risk their lives.
Just as the crowd prepared to flee, a hemispherical barrier resembling an eggshell enveloped the entire festival arena, trapping everyone inside.
Amidst the chaos, Alice, seeing Modred drawing closer, gritted her teeth and demanded, "Who the hell are you?!"
Instead of answering directly, Modred snapped his fingers, and instantly, dozens of Diabolos Sect's followers appeared behind him.
"I am Modred, the Ninth Seat of the Round Table Knights and the Transcendent Demon Sword of Diabolos Sect.
Your existence, Princess Alice, has hindered our sect's plans, so I'm afraid I must ask you to die!"
After answering Alice's question, Modred tightened his grip on his demon sword, intending to dispatch Alice right then and there.
"Ding——————!"
Just as Modred's demon sword was about to pierce Alice's chest, a woman in a black robe suddenly appeared before him, blocking his attack with her longsword.
Recognizing the woman's appearance and attire, Modred immediately understood her identity and shouted angrily, "Shadow Courtyard, you rats again?!"
