chapter 1083
23. The Fairy of the Sword
From the very beginning, the fairy never entertained any naive thoughts of “hesitation,” because the last time such an idea crossed her mind was when Arthur, who had just fallen into “chaos” not long ago and was barely holding onto a thread of sanity, was “driven away” with everyone’s help.
The feeling of “hesitation” prevented her from pursuing, and she tasted the bitter fruit of that later. So… only a fool would hesitate again!
The wind and snow roared for a moment, and the “master” in the fairy’s eyes was none other than this “monster” already entwined in black mist! Ha! Woman, your current appearance is truly a disgrace to your “Eighth Tier” title in the Great Ying Empire!
“Take me along with you!”
The sound of the sword wind broke through the air, containing not a shred of magic power, but merely a pure “physical phenomenon,” pushed to the extreme, still terrifying. This was the fairy’s ability: sword? Knife? Gun? Anything would do, as long as it was a weapon; even a branch could suffice, requiring no magic, Devoid of magic, pure strength, simple attack.
This was different from that Zerola, who seemed to know everything; it was the means of the Eighth Tier knight Arthur, who took pride in pure strength—her fairy, the Fairy of the Sword, Lansi.
In an instant, the snow was torn apart by several grotesque, twisted rifts, and the transparent, colorless airflow sliced through everything in its path like a steel blade! With no magic power, naturally… it could not be countered; one could either flee or endure.
In the next moment, Lansi’s “greeting” was easily received by the monster in her line of sight—Arthur held a sword identical to Lansi’s in his hand, and instinctively, he used it to defend.
“Tsk.”
Lansi clicked her tongue, her expression tinged with anger, “Stupid woman, you’ve turned into a monster, so can you stop wielding my true form?”
Then, her heel shifted, transforming into a flash of light.
“How disgusting!”
In the blink of an eye, she arrived before the monster!
The best way to deal with a “chaotic” monster was to use ranged attacks; this was a lesson Lansi learned at the cost of her teammates’ lives. But at this final moment, that rule was already useless; the woman before her, still retaining her combat instincts, would not fear any “ranged” attacks.
Thus, before she too inevitably became “chaotic,” exchanging her life for a chance to slay this woman was the best and most effective choice!
“Can’t hear me!? I told you to leave me alone!”
The relentless attacks finally drove the “monster” into a frenzy after an initial silence!
It mumbled and roared words that Lansi couldn’t understand, then retaliated!
“Ah, yes, you woman, you can’t understand anything now!”
As Lansi thought, Arthur still retained his fighting instincts, and… because he was already in a state of “chaos,” his actions became even more reckless!
“Anyway, as long as you can hear me, I don’t care if you understand!”
With no intention of retreating, Lansi continued to confront it.
“Because, I want to convey the last words on behalf of everyone in the Knight Order to you now!”
Chaos was eroding, and incredibly: perhaps because there was nothing left to cling to, Lansi didn’t feel “chaotic.” Her thoughts remained singular from beginning to end.
“Those who can move in the Knight Order are basically all ‘chaotic’! This time of extermination, we will kill them all! The fact that I can find you means everyone else is dead! Even that Sabby who had a crush on you! “
Did she sense something? Lansi noticed that the monster before her suddenly became even more frenzied at that moment. The force of the eighth tier directly knocked Lansi back, causing her to fall into the snow, but… she quickly got back up, not bothering to check her physical condition, and confronted it again!
“But it’s fine, they can’t hurt the people in the city! My brilliant strategy has brought in the Rosians; those guys will use their firearms to shoot everyone one by one! It won’t be long before the Empire sends troops to guard this place, and your territory will be just fine!”
【Great Ying Empire】
These are four words that absolutely cannot be mentioned because… as long as they are spoken, the monster before her would lose even the last bit of “hesitation”!
Its body seemed to swell, as if even the last trace of its former “human” qualification had vanished!
This is “chaos.” Perhaps its function is to reverse the attitude of the affected person towards the most important things in their heart! Just like Arthur, who was once incredibly loyal to that Goushi Empire, now wished to kill everyone in the Empire.
Just like: what she cared about most was this woman, and now she wanted to stab her to death without any hesitation!
Ah, no wonder she wasn’t affected by “chaos.” It turns out… her own chaos was helping her make up her mind! Haha—truly worthy of being me!
“So! Stinky woman, we have nothing to worry about anymore; I’ve taken care of everything for you! Next, all that’s left is to simply stab you to death, my master!”
The time had come, and Lansi had already figured out what to do.
“Next life, I won’t recognize you as my master again, you foolish one, being used as a pawn by that queen and still prancing around happily.”
“Your brain has some issues too; at your age, still not married or retired, relying on being a half-elf, making me follow you to this godforsaken place to work 996.”
“It’s really annoying to me. I’ve tolerated you for a long time, you know? Even now, you’re still holding onto my true form, thinking you’re holding onto a treasure?”
Stupid woman, go ahead and regret it; just because you’re holding onto yourself, you’ve given yourself a chance to be absolutely certain that I could stab you to death!
In the next moment, Lansi’s figure directly returned to her true form! In this way, she closed the distance to Arthur in an instant! Then…
Without hesitation, as soon as she thought of it, the sword had already pierced through the chest of this “monster”!
“Master, now… even if I’m just cleaning up the mess you made…”
Cleaned up?
However, at this moment, Lansi realized: the monster that was so close to her, even though it had been stabbed through and felt cold to the core, still… showed no signs of falling!?
As she noticed this, Lansi felt herself, along with her true form, being sent flying! The power of an eighth-tier warrior, to put it bluntly, could easily break a weapon!
“Cough cough!”
The snow somewhat cushioned her fall, preventing Lansi from dying immediately! But… the opportunity just passed, and now… it seemed she couldn’t even handle this “monster” in front of her! And it looked like it intended to continue “destroying “her!”
“Ugh, stinky woman, your belly is as thick-skinned as your face; you can’t even die… cough cough.”
Sorry, team members, for putting your lives on the line to get here, but…
It seems I still gave it away for nothing.
What to do now? Forget it, anyway, I won’t have to think about this problem soon.
Sensing danger approaching, Lansi simply lay down on the ground, closed her eyes, and awaited this embarrassing moment. However…
In the next moment, it seemed that some sound interrupted this scene that was about to end. Accompanied by a “magical power” that Lansi could even feel, even “chaos” was suppressed for a moment.
“[‘Chaos’ cannot harm fairies!]”
Where did this fool come from…
You’re looking for death, aren’t you?
