CHAPTER 1116: CHAPTER 828: THE TAMED DEMON SWORD (PART 2)

Blood, spilling into the sky.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh...!"

Rom, whose lower body was completely severed, with blood gushing from his waist, let out a wail.

But, even so, he didn’t dare stay in this place any longer. He abandoned his lower body, his upper half turning into a dark shadow, moving even faster, and with blood spilling along the way, rushed out of the battlefield.

"Hmph."

Reiger slowly descended from mid-air, standing on the ground, looking at the blood-soaked fleeing Rom, he snorted coldly.

"What, what on earth is happening?"

Redson, who also landed on the ground, finally reacted. With a frowned expression, he couldn’t help asking aloud, his heart full of doubt and surprise.

The abnormal activation of the [Light of the Celestial Pillar].

The sudden disappearance and then unexpected attack on Reiger by the Shadow Sword Saint, who ignored the King’s death.

This bizarre situation finally made Redson notice something was wrong.

Reiger, seemingly losing interest in continuing the battle, holding a black blade formed by flowing Holy Text runes, just smiled faintly at Redson.

"Now, do you still need me to give you an explanation?"

Hearing this, Redson was left speechless, his face wavering between different expressions.

If he still couldn’t see the problem now, he would be a fool.

"...The King’s death has nothing to do with you?"

Redson tightly frowned as he looked at Reiger.

In response, Reiger answered with another question.

"Even if it was related to me, what could you possibly do about it?"

This blunt statement made Redson’s face change slightly, unpleasantly.

Yet he had already come to believe that Reiger might truly have nothing to do with Hemulinp’s death.

If he was involved, Reiger would undoubtedly admit it without hesitation.

Because in this country, no one could do anything to him.

This was something Redson had already confirmed during their confrontation.

Even he wasn’t a match for Reiger, almost getting defeated by just one slash. Who in this country could possibly contend with him?

Therefore, if Reiger had done it, there would be no need to deny it.

But then the problem arises.

"If that’s the case, then who used the Power Sword to activate the [Light of the Celestial Pillar]?"

"Why did Shadow Sword Saint Rom attack you and ignore the King’s death?"

"Whose orders is he following now?"

Redson muttered to himself, seemingly in a state of shock.

Reiger, however, paid no more attention to the bewildered old Sword Saint. After sheathing his blade and securing it at his waist, he walked out of the tattered royal corridor.

"Master!"

Here, Liz was still holding Luna and wielding the Sword of Moslo with her free hand, vigilantly watching the surroundings as she called out to the emerging Reiger.

Around her, cloaked magical puppets lay either torn to pieces or bearing massive claw marks, fallen in blood pooling on the ground, devoid of life.

"Are you okay?"

Reiger quickened his pace towards Liz, asking upon approach.

He knew Liz had been attacked.

But he wasn’t worried.

After all, Yuloli was right by Liz’s side.

Sure enough...

"I’m fine." The princess shook her head, saying, "Though I was attacked, I didn’t even have a chance to act; Miss Yuloli took care of all the enemies."

"Is that so?" Reiger nodded unsurprisingly, asking, "And where is Yuloli?"

"She chased after them." Liz pointed in a direction, saying, "Just now, a shadow flew off covered in blood, and as soon as Miss Yuloli saw it, she immediately pursued."

Just as Liz finished speaking, Redson, also emerging from the royal corridor, hurriedly asked.

"Was she alone?"

Evidently, he was a bit worried whether Yuloli could handle a Sword Saint, even if that Sword Saint was already half-defeated.

Reiger glanced at Redson and spoke flatly.

"If Yuloli can’t handle him, then you can’t either."

This statement left Redson rather speechless.

He wasn’t completely unaware of Yuloli’s abilities.

Last time, after Reiger caused a huge commotion here between the Kings, Yuloli also made an appearance and even exchanged a move with that Sword Saint from the Bolelei family, proving her identity as a female Sword Saint.

Hemulinp had also reported this to Redson, so Redson knew that Yuloli was a formidable and formidable warrior.

But to say that her ability was above his own, Redson was somewhat skeptical.

After all, he was the strongest Sword Saint in the kingdom, having fought for nearly a century. Ordinary Sword Saints weren’t even worthy opponents, and even those of the same rank stood little chance against him, who mastered the Time Sword Skill and ancient mysterious sword techniques.

Could someone like him lose to a girl who didn’t seem much older than Reiger?

Are you kidding?

Poor Redson, previously when confronting Reiger, hadn’t paid much attention to Yuloli.

Otherwise, he should have felt some threat from Yuloli, much like he did when facing Reiger.

"Shing!"

At this moment, a figure dashed back with incredible speed, arriving before Reiger and the others.

It was none other than the Yuloli just mentioned.

Yuloli returned holding a half-mutilated body that was continuously bleeding, and immediately threw it on the ground in front of Reiger and the others.

"Rom..."

Redson looked at the half-mutilated body in the pool of blood with a complicated expression.

As a fellow Sword Saint serving the King, Redson was quite familiar with Rom.

And because of this familiarity, seeing him reduced to half a body, carried like garbage and thrown onto the ground, made Redson’s emotions incredibly mixed.

Reiger, however, was somewhat taken aback upon seeing this Shadow Sword Saint again.

Only because the whites of Rom’s eyes lying in the pool of blood were entirely black.

"What is going on?"

Reiger was astonished.

Rom raised his head with difficulty, looking at Reiger standing before him, with a chilly look flashing in his pitch-black eyes.

"Buzz!"

The pitch-black Shadow Sword emerged again from Rom’s body, quickly absorbing the remaining magic power within him, draining all of Rom’s magic power completely.

The terrifying ripple of magic power made the atmosphere produce a buzzing sound.

However, just as Rom controlled the Shadow Sword to slash once more towards Reiger, Yuloli reached out and unexpectedly grabbed the sword.

"Buzz buzz buzz...!"

The Shadow Sword started vibrating violently, with magic power surging from it, spewing black sword light.

Had it been someone else daring to grab the Shadow Sword like this, their hand would have been shredded by the gushing sword light by now.

"?"

But Yuloli tilted her head, blinked her eyes as if looking at a disobedient pet, and suddenly magic power surged from her hand.

This was the first time Yuloli had used magic power.

Feeling this magic power, Moslo’s sword in Liz’s hand strangely quivered with joy, as if it had caught a familiar scent.

"Moslo?"

Liz looked at the Moslo sword in her hand with a face full of surprise.

"You...?!"

Redson looked at Yuloli as if facing a grave threat.

"Such strong magic power."

Reiger was also somewhat taken aback.

The sheer scale of magic power emanating from Yuloli’s hand far exceeded Reiger’s expectations.

It was power completely surpassing his own, even more so than Yuri, the greatest magic power wielder he knew, so powerful it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Yuloli infused this magic power into the Shadow Sword, forcefully expelling Rom’s magic power.

"Buzz buzz buzz...!"

The Shadow Sword vibrated again.

But this time, it wasn’t resisting, wasn’t struggling; instead, it appeared as if it had been tamed, trembling submissively, bowing its proud head in Yuloli’s hand.

Yuloli curiously toyed with the pitch-black magic sword, as if finding satisfaction in it, clasping it in her hand without letting go.

Seeing this, Reiger understood.

"It seems my casual bedside companion intends to wield a sword."

That’s how it was.
