222 Golden Valkyrie (2/2)

The reason why the Golden Knights are so surprised about their sudden appearance is because they weren't supposed to be here in the first place.

Little Stone Titans are a rare sightings even in the far reaches of the Red Zones. According to records, these things won't make any movements unless it was absolutely necessary. They prefer to lay on their backs and sleep, unmoving for months or even years at that. This behavior is something that they retained from their past as a stone mountains.

Little Stone Titans doesn't need to feed. If they do, it would be due to curiosity or necessity. They aren't aggressive, they could even pass as a pacifists since they allow other creatures to reside on their bodies whenever they're not moving. Some of the explorers of the kingdom even used them to easily traverse places.

Five Little Stone Titans, moving as a unit and wanting to destroy. This is an unprecedented event in history. The locations of the Little Stone Titans are far from each other, this was written by none other than the King himself. It would already be a surprise to see one managing to venture all the way here with how lazy they are to move, not to mention five aggressive ones.

”Heavens! Must you really destroy our home?” Balmung sharply inhaled as he watched the red-eyed Little Stone Titans making their way towards the kingdom.

*Neigh!!!*

When everyone's distracted by the sudden arrival of the towering monstrosities. A loud and provocative neighing sounds woke them up. All of them turned their heads towards the source of that sound and saw Luna with a determined expression flying at the back of her Pegasus, heading straight towards the hulking beasts.

”Luna/Princess/Your Highness!!” People called out for her.

”Aish! This girl!” Ellen snorted as a pair of fire wings appeared on her back, she then hurriedly flew towards Luna.

Anne also summoned her Wind Falcon and flew towards the skies. Mark hurriedly followed after them along with Paul. Of course, the Golden Knights were hot on her trails as well. Even Balmung left his post, leaving Luis to take charge of commanding the battalion.

All of them were worried about her. Of course, why wouldn't they be worried? She's the Princess, they couldn't even begin to imagine how they are going to explain themselves in front of the King should she die here. Nevertheless, it seems that none of them would be able to stop her.

As Luna flew with the Pegasus, the spear on her hand was madly fluctuating with golden light. Her gaze was sharp as it never left any of those hulking giants. As the Pegasus flew faster, the golden spear on her hand shone brighter. Once it reached the peak, Luna abruptly stood up at the back of her horse and arched her petite body, pulling the spear back in the process.

”Haaa!” With a shout, she placed all of her strength on her spear and threw it towards one of the Little Stone Titans.

A golden projectile shone under the dark clouds, it was like a falling star, gracefully arching towards the giant. The speed of it falling was faster than it was thrown. The stone giant tried blocking the attack but there was a surprising development.

It's pride as a stone mountain was mocked by the golden spear as it easily pierced it's natural defenses. The force behind the throw even shaved off a considerable amount of it's stone flesh.

Luna snorted and waved down her hand and the spear changed it's trajectory. It then made it's way towards one of the leg joint and fiercely severed it as it exited it's body.

The Little Stone Titan roared in agony. One of it's legs were severed which made it lose it's balance. With a wave of her hand, the golden spear flew back on Luna's hand as she looked down on the remaining stone giants who stopped on their tracks.

”None of you will destroy my home! I swear it upon my name, Lunafreya Lightshield! Even if die, I will die standing to protect our citizens!”

Her blazing spirit flared with a golden light. Her golden hair flowed with the wind as her gallant figure bask in the air, serving as a beacon of hope to anyone who looked at her.

Her words struck a deep chord towards the hearts of anyone who heard it. Those who heard her name instantly realized who she was.

Heir of their Almighty King. The Princess that never shown herself before made her named known in the defense against the beast horde. From this point onwards, all that hears her name will be struck with awe, respect, idolism and worship.

She was the lady who unhesitatingly flew straight towards the enemy. She who strikes first and swore to protect the kingdom even at the cost of her life. From here on out, she will called as:

”The Golden Valkyrie: Princess Lunafreya.”
