Chapter 129: Breakout

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: Vermillion

”Bang!” A loud and crispy sound of metals colliding with each other was heard. It was from Wyon’s heavy sword fiercely hacking Tod’s metalized face when the latter stopped attacking him and turned around in order to help his lord Verdi.

A deep, horrible wound appeared in the center of Tod’s face, starting from his forehead all the way to his chin, and even his nose was split into two. However, instead of blood, it was liquid metal that was slowly coming out of the wound. At the same time, the liquid metal was trying to heal the scary wound.

Although Tod was seriously injured, the sword in his hand did not stop, and it went directly to the princess, whose blade was a few centimeters away from Verdi. Although Natasha swiftly leaned to the side, Tod’s sword left a terrible cut on Natasha’s back, from which her spine and internal organs were almost visible.

The already badly damaged armor could not protect her very well anymore. With a muffled moan, Natasha bit her lips to bear the great pain and, without pause, wielded her Thunder toward Verdi again!

She knew that she could not lose her momentum at this time, or it would be the end of all of them, and her knights and squires would die for nothing.

Beside Silvia’s hacked body, Verdi thought he got a chance to use his magic item again and thus escape away from Natasha. However, a powerful lightning struck him directly from the sky.

As an extraordinary magic sword, Natasha’s Thunder had a certain chance to summon real lightning.

Verdi’s broken, dark purple armor was instantly burned black. Although luckily part of the remaining power of his Blessing saved his life from the lightning, the powerful strike fully paralyzed his body again.

He was angry and desperate. Verdi could not understand why everything turned out to be so bitter, when he thought a great success was definitely upon his hands. However, he would not easily reconcile himself to the situation!

At that moment, Natasha’s sharp blade was coming directly toward Verdi’s neck, but he sommoned forth all his remaining willpower to overcome the paralyzing feeling in his right arm. With it, he suddenly tried to block Thunder with his bare right hand. Lots of small rays of lightning instantly covered his hand and his forearm, snapping part of his right arm right off. However, the sacrifice of his right arm also reduced Thunder’s speed and, by the time the blade reached his neck, a piece of the Shield of Truth was formed around it. At the same time, his feet pushed against the ground and his body rolled backwards.

Natasha hacked her sword at Verdi’s neck with all her anger, pain and hatred. Although the small piece of shield did not fully stop her attack, when the shield broke into pieces, her momentum had been weakened enough. Thunder cut a deep wound in Verdi’s neck, but the blade did not really touch his carotid arteries. Verdi passed out, but he was not dead, yet.

When Natasha was about to lift her sword again to end her cousin’s sinful life, a few of Verdi’s grand knights arrived and blocked her path to their lord, who had completely lost his consciousness.

Natasha quickly made an estimation of their power and instantly decided to leave. She was already seriously injured, and the extra power her Blessing created due to her injuries would not last much longer. She knew that this was not the right time for her to be a hero.

”Let’s go!” shouted Natasha to her people, and then she spurred Agatha and rushed out of the encirclement.

Verdi’s knights were occupied with saving their lord, and more importantly, they also felt intimidated when they saw their lord lying on the ground like a torn sack.

Therefore, it was not hard for Lucien, Cacharel and Wyon to break the siege and follow Natasha. Unfortunately, facing too many knights on his own, Daniel did not make it.

”You f**king idiots! What are you f**king waiting for?!” When Tod approached Verdi, he yelled at the rest of the knights with great anger, ”Go and get them, or we will all die!”

Leaving some knight squires to take care of Verdi, Tod spurred his horse and led the rest of the knights to chase the princess.

The four Dragon Scale horses were very fast, and soon they were close to the edge of the black forest. At that time, Natasha suddenly turned around and threw her black lance, Slayer, toward Tod, with all her strength and power.

Flying with great speed in the air, the lance stirred the air flow and created a loud and unique noise.

As Tod subconsciously rolled down from his horse and fell on the ground, Slayer pierced right through another level four knight’s chest, who was behind Tod and did not even have time to raise his shield to defend. When Slayer flew right through the knight’s chest, it immediately turned the body into something brittle, that shattered into thousands of shining pieces in the next second.

When Tod stood up again, the princess and her people had already disappeared in the forest.

Natasha’s final burst of power shocked everyone present.

After a short period of time, Tod said to the rest of the knights in a cold voice, ”We have to find and kill them tonight, and we have no second choice. If the princess survives, we will all die, and our families will die with us.”

The other knights nodded and followed Tod into the deep woods.
