Chapter 664 - Between Light & Light (II) (2/2)

Anne stared unbelievably while Marlene sucked in a deep breath of air as she placed her hands on her chest. The supernaturally fine craft of nature had presented its optimal sight. The Humans experienced for themselves just how tiny they were while standing before the two towering mountains. No matter how formidable their strength was or how high their statuses, they felt like tiny sand that wasn’t worth a mention at all. However, the various metallic devices installed all around and between the two mountains left them emotional as though the tiniest of lives were proving their values in conquering the world.

“Welcome to Purple Lily City.”

Lydia’s crisp voice rang and pulled everyone back to reality. Rhode turned around and spotted the Archangel in her unfitting outfit for this harsh season. Winter in the Munn Kingdom was extremely cold and due to this, everyone was donned in their winter clothes for this trip. Rhode and Lize wore a thick fur coat to resist the cold. Marlene wore an elegant fur robe to keep herself warm. As for Anne, she had also obediently clad on a thick armor and cloak to keep out the cold.

On the contrary, Lydia wore a skin-tight, snowy, thin long dress made from top quality silk, which accentuated her slender curves. The dress stitched with golden lace draped to the ground and surprisingly, it wasn’t stained with any filthy dust. Flawlessly white elbow gloves wrapped her lustrous arms and her attire was one that would instantly attract everyone’s attention in a ball or banquet. Not only that, but the pair of wings emanating golden radiance behind her back was majestically compelling. In addition to her unmatched beauty, she was the perfect masterpiece of glamor to all living things.

But… considering the countless fluttering snow behind her and the bone-piercing chill striking their skin, this gorgeous view looked more like the best portrayal of ‘torturous elegance’.

Your Highness… Do you really love to show off this much?

Rhode rolled his eyes. Of course. He knew that Lydia, as an Archangel, wouldn’t fall sick to the cold. But she must also be considerate of the mortals, right? Even Anne, who has the warm blood of a Demonic Beast flowing in her, has wrapped herself up, so could you please not brag to us as though you’re saying “Look at me. I’m not afraid of cold at all. Are you green with envy?” — Forget it. She’s like this, to begin with.

But Rhode only cursed inwardly. He stepped forth hurriedly and bowed to Lydia.

“Sir Rhode, you’re finally here. I was still worried that you were gonna arrive too late. The snowstorm out there is huge. If you came any later, you would miss the amazing show.”

The snowstorm out there is huge?

Rhode lifted his head and gazed at the whizzing snowstorm on the other side. He knew that he would surely lose if he roasted her for it, so he let out a cough and ignored her words before shifting the topic.

“Your Highness. If I recall correctly, we should be participating in the Dragon Soul Ceremony, right?”

“That’s right, Sir Rhode.”

Lydia winked wittily and said with a smile.

“I’ve invited everyone here because we’ll be heading into the Country of Light from here. I guess you are prepared for the journey, right?”

“From here?”

Rhode gazed at Lydia with a curious glint. He recalled that there were only two routes that led from the Munn Kingdom to the Country of Light. One of the routes was through the Southern Port by sea, leading into the Country of Light’s port. They would need to board a chariot thereafter in order to reach the capital. The other route was through the Northern Sacred Dragon Path, where they had to board a chariot that headed to the Country of Light’s border and enter the capital. But now, they were in neither of them. It would still be possible if they gathered at Golden City and headed out from there. However, Lydia had gotten them to come all the way to Purple Lily City… She was always acting unexpectedly.

“That’s right. From here.”

After answering Rhode’s question, Lydia tilted her head slightly as though she had heard something. Then, she revealed a delightful smile.

“It seems that the time is just right.”

Ssss…!

Suddenly, everyone heard a deep horn that sounded from the snowstorm.

“…!”

Another deep, loud horn sounded. But, this time, a massive figure slowly emerged from the snowstorm… An enormous magic warship appeared before their eyes!

The magic warship sailed forth silently and steadily slid through the from between the mountains before coming to a halt. The berserk storm did no damage to the massive metallic warship at all, not even to the five highly erected masts with the spotlessly white sails. The flowing magical radiance resonated with the metallic luster. Magic crystals were arranged irregularly with charming effect, emanating brilliant rays continuously. The sculpture on the ship’s bow was a beautiful Angel young lady with her arms crossed on her chest, praying devoutly to the heavens. A glorious pair of wings expanded grandly behind her.

Rhode widened his eyes in astonishment. He knew what it was, but he didn’t expect to see it at this moment.

Heavenly Class Magic Warship—Saint Lady Vessel.
