“d.a.m.n you!”
Coldblade struggled mightily and most of his body had already entered the spatial rift. However, Xinran was holding onto one of his legs and she didn't look like she had any intentions of letting go.
As he roared in helpless rage, Coldblade shook the leg that she had caught vigorously. He actually managed to struggle his way out of his leg armor as he attempted to shake free of Xinran's grasp! He was willing to do anything to break free and make his escape!
However, he didn't expect Xinran would be fast enough to react to this! She raised up the Dragonbone Spear high in the air before she savagely thrust it down towards his leg.
Puchi!
The Dragonbone Spear buried itself in Coldblade's thigh and violently skewered it. The spear had been thrust with such force that its blade sank deep into the stone floor below.
My jaw dropped to the floor. I had never expected to see one of Purgatory Sovereigns nailed to the ground like a helpless insect.
Coldblade let out a howl of pain but his HP still hadn't dropped below the halfway mark. It was clear that it would take far more than this injury to kill him.
“You G.o.dd.a.m.ned Wind Singer, you will receive the judgement of Purgatory! Just wait for it!”
Coldblade's sharp sword whistled through the air and he cut off his own left leg with a sharp “crack”! Black blood geysered out of his wound but that leg fell outside the spatial crack that Coldblade had entered!
……
Wooos.h.!.+
As a soft ringing sound filled the air, Coldblade managed to enter the spatial rift. He had returned to the plane of purgatory.
Xinran stared mutely at Coldblade's severed leg before she gave a helpless sigh. “The power of Purgatory is growing stronger and stronger and the power of its minions are rising as well… It seems as if… the power of the eight Sovereigns are growing stronger and stronger. Ah, what do we do now…”
I stopped right behind Xinran before I asked, “Xinran, do you know this Coldblade?”
Xinran turned around and giggled. “Big brother, Coldblade does appear within the fragments of my memory. It seemed like I was very familiar with him in the past. However, I simply can't remember who I used to be…”
“So that's the case huh…”
At this moment, Karinshan, Sophia, Xuewei, Stark and the other NPCs had caught up with us. Karinshan gave Xinran a respectful bow as she said, “On behalf of every living creature on this continent, I sincerely thank Lady Windsinger for her timely help. If you hadn't intervened when you had, I'm afraid that Sky City was doomed to fall into Coldblade's hands. It would have become an iron bastion of the Night Creatures, a launching point for their future invasion of the continent. Once that happened, the entire Silver Moon Alliance would have been in mortal peril!”
Xinran giggled as she nodded her head, “Please dispense with the formalities, Princess Karinshan. Coldblade was sorely wounded during his foray into the mortal realm this time, so he won't be able to return for another few years. You need to destroy the Purgatory Dragon Scepter as soon as you can, so that you can break the chains that hold the spatial bridge together. This is the only way you can completely sever the connection between the mortal realm and the plane of purgatory.”
“Understood!”
Xinran wrested the Dragonbone Spear free from the ground before she looked at me. After that, she suddenly walked up to me and grabbed my hand. She smiled and said, “Big brother! Rinser, the teacher that I found for you. He isn't bad, is he?”
I nodded my head. “Yeah, he pa.s.ses.”
“Then… then I'll be leaving first? I still need to continue cultivating…”
My lips puckered up into a playful pout before I said, “Xinran still isn't willing to stay with me? Ah, to think that you used to always stick to me back in the day…”
Xinran's sweet laughter tinkled in the air like a silvery bell. “Ah, that… Big Brother, the moment I am strong enough, I will stick to you like glue. It's just that Xinran still isn't powerful enough to protect big brother. So, I need to find strong divine power within these cursed divine weapons I found in the G.o.d Domain. Once I find this divine power, I can use it to draw the power that has been sealed within these weapons. It… shouldn't take too long…”
“Alright, then you should go and do what needs to be done. I'm going to go destroy the Purgatory Dragon Scepter with everyone else.”
“Goodbye, big brother!”
After that, Xinran suddenly leaped into the air, her dainty figure disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye. Now that we had defeated Coldblade, her job here was done. She was going to leave the rest of the clean-up to Karinshan.
……
The curtain of light that hung in the sky was slowly disappearing. Now that Coldblade had left, the Purgatory Dragon Scepter no longer had anything powering it. However, Undead Skeletal Dragons still continued to pour out from the spatial bridge.
Sophia gripped the handle of her sword as she spoke to Karinshan, “Your Majesty, I'll leave the rest to you. I hope that Sky City will be steadfast friends with the Violet Empire for all the years to come. Let's push back the legions of Purgatory together!”
Karinshan gave a heavy nod of her head before she smiled and said, “Believe me, we will!”
“Yes.”
Sophia left together with Xue Wei and the Violet Empire's undead cavalry followed after them. The army of Floating Ice City merged together with the remaining regiments of Sky City as they took over the reins of this super city.
……
Clang!
Karinshan drew her sharp blade and pointed it towards the city that was floating in the sky. She roared, “Brave warriors of humanity, it is time to take back our country and exterminate the devils from Purgatory! For the Silver Moon Alliance! Charge!”
Hooves thundered up a storm of dust as the Black Cavalry, which stretched as far as the eye could see, charged straight towards Sky City.
The players wouldn't allow themselves to lag behind either! This was a great chance to earn more points!
I hefted the Heaven-stealing Sword before I turned around and grinned at my comrades. “Let's go! We should try our best to become the heroes who take down the wicked monarch of Sky City, there'll definitely be a generous points reward for killing him!”
“Okay, charge!”
Li Chengfeng, Gui Guzi, and High Fighting Spirits let out roars of laughter as our entire party charged up the floating steps that led to Sky City. Lin Yixin was also rus.h.i.+ng towards the city with a band of Snowy Cathaya players at her back.
