Chapter 174: 093 Kasim Derian -2 (Part Two)
I stood up from the spot
Whether it was a Va to attack the capital shouldn’t last too long
I mean, really This was a den of monsters populated by the likes of the Holy E, and even the Crown I out?”
I turned to look at Alice when she asked that She flinched a little and got visibly flustered
She hurriedly bowed her head and addressedoff to the Church of Caiolium’s headquarters?”
“I don’t have a choice It’s already been decided, after all”
Although it was annoying as heck, it’d be better to sort this ood idea to ask Oscal for his assistance, just in case
“This servant begs of you, your highness” Alice got up, then held the ends of her dress She worked so hard to hide her e to me “Please confirm the fate of his eht, she was deeply worried about him even till now
I smiled bitterly and nodded silently
There was no need to say anything here Hoping in vain would end up hurting a lot worse later on, after all
“Well, uh Sleep tight”
I waved at her and exited through the library’s doorway
The whole iht now
Paladins kitted out in golden armour ran towards us from the end of the dark corridor with their lit lanterns They politely saluted Charlotte first before addressing hness, we shall escort you”
“Allow us to guide you safely to your quarters”
I inwardly clickedto the Order of the Golden Cross
Strangely enough, the nuuards around me had increased after the inquisition’s conclusion
I naturally rejected it since it didn’t feel all that nice, but even then, the Holy E the bare uess the reason for it, of course Still, I fervently prayed that roaned a little
“Shall we get going, your highness?”
Charlotte lightly bowed her head and prepared to escort me
It was at that very
“…?”
I took a closer look to our front
Maybe the heavy downpour outside was to bla the interior of the imperial palace
But for so within that darkness
It seemed that I wasn’t the only one to pick up on that, as Charlotte and the Golden Cross members all stood in front of me in a protective cordon
Her hand now rested on the sword’s hilt, while the Golden Cross Paladins unsheathed theirs
They raised their lanterns higher and cast the light towards the end of the corridor, then began stepping forward cautiously
“Who’s there?”
The Golden Cross Paladins called out
Right at thatthe exact saolden armour as the Paladins step out from the end of the corridor
He was so tall that his head nearly scraped the ceiling of this large passageway
It was someone from the Order of the Golden Cross?
My tension left me as soon as I confire Why was he hiding his presence like that?
The hulking golden knight locked his gaze on lea out
“Found you”
Charlotte’s eyes narrowed to slit But that lasted only for a second; her expression stiffened and her eyes shot open wide
“Your highness, danger-!”
She shi+elded ainst the library’s door
At the saht
Everything slowed down to a crawl like a video clip being played in slow ht of a for in
The members of the Golden Cross responded to the sudden attack by raising their swords up and injecting theht they ed to repel that formless blade, but then, their swords shattered, followed by their bodies and li torn apart
The blade continued on and barely missed my and Charlotte’s head by a hair’s breadth
That was no ordinary sword It was actually a wind acting like a blade, created by the rapid swing of a sword
“…!”
BANG!
The door to the library broke open, and both my and Charlotte’s bodies crashed on the floor
Only a blink later, the doorway and the surrounding as split apart smoothly without any resistance whatsoever
Ka-boom!
A loud explosion echoed out next
Countless books got shredded apart and torn paper bits crazily blew around in the library The wall collapsed while the bookshelves exploded and bounced away from the wind pressure
“What…?!”
Alice, as still sitting inside the library, jumped up in shock and shi+elded her head
In the hness, we’re escaping”
“Eh?”
My gaze shi+fted back to behind us I saw the golden armour almost obscured by the corridor’s pitch-black darkness
The golden knight didn’t even hesitate to swing his sword and kill the rerievous wounds
That ues
“Wasn’t he frohness He’s not He is…!”
Charlotte stopped speaking and turned her head
The hulking ous sword once more
That’s all he did
To the eyes of an ordinary person, it must’ve looked like that’s all he did just then
However, I could clearly see his real ht enhanced by divinity
He wasbehind a series of afterie weapon back to where the afterian
