Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 907: Liberating the True Power?

Where have all the knights of the Godafu family gone? Why is Xino the only one on the battlefield?

Or was this her original request?
After Ling Ge came to his senses, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He felt that Shino was indeed someone who would do such a thing. With her determination and stubbornness, others might not be able to persuade her. As for the reason for doing so, it was also very simple. She didn't want to see too many sacrifices, so she would rather fight alone and protect everyone by herself? It must be said that this was a naive idea. If she failed, not only would she lose her life, but she might also expand the threat of the beast to the entire Grindelwald Wilderness, causing more sacrifices.

But in the past two months of getting along, the young man has come to know this girl a little bit, and knows that she is definitely not the kind of person who will ignore the facts just to satisfy her own wishes. Since she has made such a decision, it means that she is sure of winning. But I don't know what her trump card is, is it the power of the king that has never been shown?

The wind blew over his head, and the corners of his clothes fluttered. Lingge seemed not to feel the chill that was gradually penetrating into his bones, and he was still concentrating on observing the battlefield in the distance.

Let me see the power of the "Lord Knight", the most feared by witches among the seven saints of the Goddess of Creation in the past.

……

"Oh?" The young knight who was confronting the synthetic monster Chimera suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of Sumiya City. Although she was hundreds of kilometers away, she still noticed the sight from afar. The corners of her lips could not help but curl up: "It seems that Mr. Ling is still worried about us, Brandi."

"Weilulu!" Brandi shouted, and a high fighting spirit appeared in her ice-blue eyes.

"That's right. Let's show him what the will of the whitethorn flower is." Xino smiled and stroked his horse's mane, then sighed softly: "In fact, compared to that, I would rather he sit in the audience and enjoy the competition between Leila and Miss Gloria. After all, I can't go to the scene to cheer for them, so Mr. Ling can only convey his feelings on my behalf."

She turned her head to look at Sumiya City, then quickly looked away. Her tone was calm. She was not talking to the ferocious forbidden monster in front of her, but just talking to herself: "Because in that city, there is someone very important to me who is playing the most important game in her life, which will determine whether she can realize her dream."

There was no trace of magic, no aura of holy relics, and even no power of any nature could be sensed in her body... This generation of White Knights was so weak that they were almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

As for the current battle, there is no need to pay attention to it because the outcome has already been determined.

The sigh of the young knight was torn apart by the wind, along with the flying dust and grass debris, which swept past the side of the synthetic monster Chimera, causing its six pairs of blood-red vertical pupils to simultaneously reveal a violent and furious look. It once again raised its giant head and roared, and the sound waves turned into a visible storm, sweeping across the void and the earth, even causing several hideous cracks to appear again on the earth that was already on the verge of collapse.

Although it was a forbidden beast created by humans, the Chimera was not without wisdom. It could understand what Xino said and heard that it was a provocation: In the eyes of the other party, a fight with itself was not as good as a match between humans? What arrogant words! Even if the knight who pierced his heart with a spear seven hundred years ago appeared here, he would not dare to be so arrogant, right? However, the two men did have the same blood flowing in their bodies, exuding the same disgusting aura, and even the familiar white horses, silver spears, and holy white elven armor. The emblem of white thorn flowers on the snow-white battle robe fluttering in the wind was so dazzling...

In other words, now is the best time for him to escape. As long as he kills the weak but conceited human girl in front of him and destroys the Gustaf family, no one in the entire Grindelwald Plain will be able to stop him from breaking the seal. After escaping, he will devour all the earth vein magic power on this land, turning the "Land of Hope" that the Gustaf family wants to protect into a barren dead land, and let those who have been blessed by the White Knight for generations die because of them. Only in this way can he vent the pain and hatred of the past seven hundred years...

"I know what you're thinking." Xino suddenly spoke, his clear voice piercing through the storm, and for a moment, it drowned out the fierce sound, and rang in the ears of the synthetic monster Chimera, whose eyes were becoming increasingly ferocious and dangerous: "But I'm sorry, I won't let you have your wish."

Over the past seven hundred years, it has been awakened and sealed countless times, only to drain its own strength and let itself die slowly. The synthetic monster Chimera has long hated those who claim to be descendants of Whitethorn Flower. If it weren't for this young girl knight standing alone in its way, it would have suspected that there were other people from the Godafu family lying in ambush around and would have rushed up to bite her to death and swallowed her as the residue in its stomach.

"Having a dream is a good thing, and pursuing dreams is human instinct, but dreams themselves are fleeting, and a little hesitation will lead to lifelong regret. I don't want her to experience that kind of regret."

"When I was very young, my mother once told me: No one can decide your path, and no one can impose their dreams on you, you should make your own choices; later, my father told me: You can choose how to spend your life like an ordinary girl, and it is a good thing to pursue your dreams, even if they cannot be realized; later, my grandfather told me: No one can force you, but sometimes, we are born to live in response to expectations."

"I think what they said is right, but unfortunately I can't do it: I haven't had the urge to pursue my dreams for a long time, and it seems that I always go against everyone's expectations. I once complained about my mother, hated my father, and didn't understand my grandfather who was always thinking about me. More than once, I made my relatives and friends worry about me; there were many times when I felt that I was still living in the past, still that lonely, sensitive, stubborn, and very afraid of death girl. The successive departures of relatives and friends once made me lose the courage to face life, but one day I will pick it up again, because I suddenly realized that time is indeed moving forward, and dreams only exist in the future. , not the past." The young knight reached out her hand and gently lowered the visor of her helmet. Her voice was clear and cold, echoing in the wind: "In this land, everyone has hope. Some people are eager to move forward, some people pursue glory, some people just want to live in peace, and some people strongly desire the light released after their dreams are coated with sweat. That is their lifelong wish. I am Shino Qin Gustaf, the successor of the pioneer Baron Vince, the white knight Hiberton, the paranoid Reynard, and the great ancestors of the Gustaf family. I am the guardian of the land of Grangenia, and also the swearer of the eternal friendship between mankind and the aliens on this land-"

"Now, in the name of Godafu, grant me an honorable battle."

She casually untied the hairband on her ponytail and let go, and the fiery hairband flew away in the biting north wind. Every strand of hair that was freed from its restraints fluttered in the storm. Then, as if burned by flames, Xino's originally snow-white long hair was dyed with a magnificent red lotus color from the ends. In the blink of an eye, the snow-white long hair turned into blazing hair. Hot sparks floated among her hair, as if igniting countless pieces of stardust fragments, highlighting the girl's lonely figure with a dreamy and blurred temperament; at the same time, under the silver and cold helmet visor, the girl's originally gem-like burgundy eyes began to fade away all color, as if eroded by frost and snow, gradually turning into a pure and indifferent white. She raised her head. The summer when whitethorn flowers bloomed had long gone. Only the snow on the Loser Mountains, which never melted all year round, was slowly falling in front of her eyes, freezing the surrounding air, dust, plants and even the magical factors that could not be seen by the naked eye.

From the original white hair and red eyes to the current flaming hair and snow eyes, the simple swap of hair color and eye color made the young knight seem like a different person. The synthetic beast Chimera felt an inexplicable sense of oppression from this human whose temperament was completely changed. It was even more oppressive than the oppression brought to it by the hateful White Knight and the so-called Joan of Arc when they joined forces seven hundred years ago. It felt a moment of fear and even wanted to escape from here and escape from this guy's sight. But this emotion was only a moment. When it realized that it was actually afraid of a mere human, the fear and fear turned into an uncontrollable anger. It raised its head and roared, trying to intimidate the human in front of it. However, just as its three heads opened and the roar had not yet come out, a shining and straight silver line had suddenly crossed its eyes.

It was a charge so fast that it could not be caught by the naked eye. It is said that when Sun Snow ran at full speed, no one could see its figure. They could only see the mane on its back like a silver arc passing through the line of sight, like a snow line shining in the sun. Now, the synthetic monster Chimera has personally experienced the powerlessness when facing this snow mountain god horse. It didn't even have time to react, and the silver line passed by it. At the moment when they brushed against each other, the knight on horseback casually swung out the gun blade, and a thunder suddenly sounded in the dark clouds. The sky that had been suppressed for a long time finally ushered in the moment of release. Countless flashes of pure thunder and lightning gathered on the gun blade of the white thorn flower branch, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire sky and the earth.

The surging thunder was rampant, and dazzling lightning emanated from the gun blade, hitting the body of the synthetic monster Chimera, directly penetrating the evil cornerstones used to construct its body, breaking it down into stones, mud, moss and even bones. They all fell to the ground. At first glance, it looked like an ancient corpse being baptized, shedding its evil essence in the lightning and returning to its original appearance.

Amidst the sky full of lightning, the synthetic monster roared in anger and pain, and the snake head on its right side was decomposed from the neck upwards and turned into a statue of mud and rock. Then, these raging lightning lights were converged on the gun blade in less than one ten-thousandth of a second. The young girl knight gently swung it down, and a blade of blue lightning drew a perfect arc under the flickering sky, instantly cutting off the snake head and causing it to fall heavily to the ground, where it rotted into mud and merged into the dust, no longer existing.

The lightning dissipated, and the figure of Xinuo riding a white horse appeared behind the synthetic magic beast. There was clearly no fluctuation of magic power, but Brandi was walking lightly in the void, as if walking on flat ground. Although it was a different species, it was not a magic beast. How could Sun Snow walk in the sky? When the onlookers had similar thoughts, they felt that it was natural, as if the knight and the white horse did not need any common sense restrictions. Their appearance here was an absolute existence in itself.

The Chimera, having lost its snake head, suddenly fell into a rage, no longer caring about the ambush of the Gostave family around it. Its huge body suddenly twisted in the sky, and its eight ferocious claws attacked Xino from different directions at the same time, blocking all her escape routes. At the same time, among the remaining two heads, the black goat head in the middle opened its mouth and roared, and a violent and greedy black light vaguely emerged from the bottomless depths of its throat. A dark light column wrapped in the power of destruction suddenly sprayed out, with a breath that almost suffocated the entire storm, and submerged the tiny figure from the front.

"Oops!"

Ling Ge's pupils shrank as he watched this scene from afar: "Didn't you dodge?"

Rather than saying that she didn't dodge, it's better to say that Xino didn't try to dodge at all. Whether facing the claws attacking from all directions or the dark beam of light that was spraying from the front to destroy the world, she just glanced calmly without any panic on her face. Gently pulling the reins, Brandy immediately understood, raised the horse's hoof lightly, and stepped lightly in the air.

The figures of the man and the horse disappeared in an instant. The next moment, a violent and terrifying dark beam of light flooded the space where they had just stood. The power containing the breath of destruction stretched the void to create fine cracks, but it was in vain.

"Disappeared!?"

Linger quickly moved the telescope to look for Xino's position, but found her behind the synthetic monster Chimera. She rode out of the void leisurely, just like moving between spaces, completely violating the normal laws of physics. The girl turned her head slightly, and a calm smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if to reassure Linger and not worry about her safety.

Then, he raised the holy spear Bai Ji in his hand again towards the huge and ferocious monster and swung it lightly.

This time, it was fire.
