Chapter 626 - Saint Monastery (VII) (2/2)

The immense pressure grew increasingly as the young lady closed the distance between them. The man felt his heart pumping violently. The sense of danger would rarely be a misconception for powerful presences like them and since his body had reacted honestly by expressing fear and foreboding, it went to show how dangerous this young lady was!

The man let out a snarl and charged forward with his raised flail. The Saint Knights behind him yelled out in unison and stomped forward. Canary came to a stop gradually and displayed a calm, gentle smile as though the sea of enemies flooding toward her weren’t worth a mention.

At this moment, the distance between both sides was less than 200 meters. In the blink of an eye, the Saint Knights, who were boosted by the buff of the legendary weapon, covered the distance between them and brandished their weapon to crush their enemy to bits.

But this wasn’t the case.

The Saint Knights had strange difficulties charging forward as though time had slowed down drastically. No matter how much they pushed forward, they couldn’t close in to her. The blessings of the legendary weapon were still present, but they felt exhausted. They widened their mouths and panted, but…

Boom!

A Saint Knight collapsed to the ground with widened eyes and ashen expression, clutching his shield and weapon. But there was no luster of life in his eyes. Not only him, but the other Saint Knights also collapsed one by one as though a domino effect. None of them stood back on their feet!

Same went for the one who led the pack.

Why? Why!?

The man widened his mouth and breathed heavily through his thick helmet. He had never felt this powerless. The powers of the legendary weapon flowed in his body, boosting him with unprecedented strength. However, he had never felt this drained. He gazed at the figure closing in and his footsteps became increasingly slower. As a being in the Legendary Stage, he shouldn’t be feeling this at all. But now, his hands and legs were as though cuffed by heavy steel chains and couldn’t move freely. The young lady came to a halt and smiled at him. Although she didn’t seem to have done anything, the nonchalant smile plastered on her face affirmed the man that it was all her doing!

Stomp! Stomp!

He finally arrived before her with heavy feet, panting and lifting his flail. The distance between them was less than four steps and as long as he brandished his weapon, he could easily crush her skull to fragments. But, even so, Canary continued to smile at him.

The man clutched the flail in his hands and suddenly, his knees weakened.

Boom!

His collapse resounded in the silent plaza. He stubbornly lifted his head and gazed at the young lady in disbelief. Then, his head plunged to the ground uncontrollably.

At this moment, a sharp scream pierced their ears.

“No! My beloved!”

A glaring red radiance flashed in the entrance. Then, a woman donned in a scarlet robe rushed out. Her dignified expression distorted to her furious emotions.

“Renault! My beloved! You can’t leave me alone here! Have you forgotten about our promise?!”

The woman lifted her scepter high.

“Stand up, my beloved. Do it for our eternal promise and fight for me!”

Suddenly, the thick, black armor on his body sparkled in countless magical runes. Then, the man’s lifeless eyes sprung open and he stood up abruptly!

“I’ll fight for you! My…”

Before the man finished his dramatic confession, Canary extended her fingers and flicked lightly.

The man’s heavy armor cracked to the pressure and ripped apart as though it was made of paper. The man let out a blood-curdling screech as the immense force blasted him away and fresh blood spurted from the cracks of his armor. It was apparent that it wasn’t only the armor that Canary had twisted.

Sister Helen screamed mournfully and she was blasted back into the pitch-black entrance as though a battering ram had rammed into her body.

Canary clapped the dust off her palms. She turned around with her unchanged smile.

“All done, Rhode.”
