Chapter 754 - World’s Number One Princess (2) (2/2)

Then, Erin expanded her wings wide.

In an instant, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum sensed an invisible, massive strength erupt from Erin, which dispersed the fire tornado and tore the sky and ground as it blasted toward them. Mini Bubble Gum raised her arms hurriedly and along with her actions, one of the runes flowed along the silver-whitish magical trajectory to her side. Shortly after, countless hexagonal, golden barriers merged to form an unbreakable wall before them. But even so, the powerful blast crashed and released endless sparks. Erin seized this chance to fly above them and headed straight to the fortress with the speed of a jet fighter.

“Damn it!”

Mini Bubble Gum snarled after being played by the ‘NPC’ and gave chase quickly while Canary sulked and transformed into a dazzling green radiance that followed Erin closely.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, both of them had gone up to Erin as soon as she entered the Light Dragon Soul’s protection, which was why there was still a distance between Erin and the fortress. However, this distance was nothing more than a few flaps of her huge wings. Canary and Mini Bubble Gum refrained from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases. They couldn’t cast spells in the presence of the fortress to prevent disaster to the innocents, which was why they increased their speed to stop Erin as quickly as possible. Mini Bubble Gum struggled to keep up, but Canary was slightly better. However, the spell that Canary cast couldn’t stop Erin from advancing.

“This is bad!”

Rhode frowned. Strictly speaking, it wouldn’t be difficult for Canary and Mini Bubble Gum to stop Erin together, especially when the latter wasn’t an adult yet. Even with the protection of the moon rule, her strength was almost on par with them. However, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were disadvantageous because they lacked understanding on Erin’s attacking style. Rhode also didn’t expect her to respond quickly and determinedly.

However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. If this happened in the game, they could still make up for their wrong judgments. But now, any mistake would lead to lethal consequences. Erin was getting increasingly closer to the fortress. Rhode turned to Orchid Heart. At this moment, she looked as though she was falling asleep. But lines of complicated text had emerged across the pages of her pitch-black book.

“How much longer do you need, Senior Heart?”

“At least five minutes.”

“Five minutes… alright, I’ll leave it to you!”

Rhode gritted his teeth and turned around. Shortly after, a pair of green wings expanded behind him and he leaped into the sky.

In an instant, he saw the massive, pitch-black shadow closing in. Although he had entered the Legendary Stage, he was still 20 levels away from her. This level gap had predetermined that he wouldn’t hurt her at all even if he gave all his might.

But Rhode definitely wasn’t attempting to do the impossible.

Swordsmanship—Essence of the Eternal Night. S Grade!

Rhode answered inwardly and raised his right arm. A holy, white sword emerged in his hand. The surrounding darkness slowly coalesced onto the blade. He clutched the sword hilt and swung his left arm across. Then, darkness rumbled.

He slashed the blade and the darkness before him split into half. Dark specks within exploded in invisible energy, which led the air to twist, tear, and blast countless fragments at the enemy.

“What?”

Erin let out a curious shriek. She came to an abrupt halt and folded her wings around her. At this moment, the invisible energy arrived before her.

Boom!

It struck her wings and time had as though stopped at that instant. Then, the surging dark energy from the collision spread to the Undead Army, where one of the enormous Skeletal Troll instantly shattered into bits.

Erin expanded her wings. But this time, she didn’t charge forward. Instead, she gazed at Rhode with a dubious glint in her eyes.

“This is Big Brother’s swordsmanship… who are you, Human?”
