Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

"I only saw the hero, who beheaded the villain," Remian said with a smile as Luo Tianyi pushed her forward.

Luo Tianyi nodded her little head repeatedly in agreement. When she first saw Greke, she finally realized what kind of voice she had heard. It was the voice of the soul, which surrounded Greke. They were cursing and roaring, and even after Greke died, these voices showed no sign of dissipating.

"How did they manage to do that?" The Savior was both frightened and very curious about the corpse covered in arms.

Xiling shrugged. "I had my limbs reattached using the power of the Great Rune, and that's how it turned out."

"I see," Penglai Temple Jiuxiao nodded thoughtfully.

“Then let’s continue our journey and try to reach the royal city within a day. By the way, Jiuxiao, is your teleportation ability still usable?” Xiling looked at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple.

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens scratched his cheek, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Even the savior needs rest, you know, so I probably can't."

"Looks like we'll have to walk then." Xiling didn't think these guys could ride horses, and of course, neither could he.

So the six of them began to head towards the royal city, walking openly on the main road. When they encountered soldiers attacking them, Kevin immediately threw two punches at them without saying a word.

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens also wanted to try fighting, but he was dragged back by Xiling not long after he went up because he really couldn't fight. Xiling felt that he would have to increase the intensity of the fight, otherwise he would really be worried.

As Luo Tianyi pushed Remy Ann along, she felt a strong sense of déjà vu as they walked, so she said, "It feels a bit like the Journey to the West we watched before, except in Journey to the West we're going to obtain the scriptures, while we're going to create laws."

Xiling chuckled lightly, "Pretty much, it's all about saving all living beings anyway."

In Journey to the West, Tang Sanzang encountered eighty-one tribulations, and the six of them had already encountered countless obstacles on their way to the royal city.

Soldiers, giants, knights, and all sorts of monsters—none of these could stop their advance, nor could they even change their smiles. They chatted about the scenery along the way, as if on a picnic.

The closer they got to the capital, the more obstacles they encountered, which also meant more people fell to the ground unconscious. Those lying on the ground looked like corpses, but they had just been knocked unconscious.

Faced with the wary soldiers blocking the gate, the Faded One pointed forward, and a stone floated up from the ground and shot out instantly. Seeing this, the soldiers tried to block it with their shields, but the stone suddenly changed direction in mid-air, bypassed the shields, and hit the soldiers directly on the forehead.

Several more unconscious people lay on the ground. At that moment, Kevin and Xiling stood in front of the gate and simultaneously raised their legs, then kicked the gate of the royal city hard. The locked gate immediately flew out and crashed into the house.

"finally reached"

Xiling stepped into the royal city of Rodel, ignoring the dragon corpses he had lamented so many times along the way. He looked at the tallest building, as if someone there was staring back at him.

Tap tap tap tap tap.

A dense chorus of footsteps approached from all directions, and countless soldiers surrounded the six men.

Looking around, Xiling felt no urgency at being surrounded; in fact, she laughed, "Haha, quite a scene! These people are much more intimidating than those assassins from before."

"Those who trespass into the royal city shall die!" roared the leading knight. At that moment, the soldiers drew their weapons and charged at the six men.

As soon as Xiling thought about it, the Starry Cloak began to move. It instantly expanded from Xiling's shoulders, and the gauze-like fabric wrapped around the group. Countless swords and blades struck the Starry Cloak, but they quickly realized that it had no effect.

This is the Starry Cloak, a blessing bestowed by the supreme will. It is a defensive piece of equipment, and the damage it can block depends on how much magic power Xiling uses. Xiling's magic power is EX unknown. Although Xiling cannot directly use a huge amount of power because her body would not be able to withstand it, continuously releasing magic power is not a problem for Xiling at all.

Looking at the helpless soldiers outside, Xiling clapped her hands lightly as if cheering for someone to take the stage, "Next, please welcome our Fish-Frying Machine, Miss Luo Tianyi, to perform 'Just Like That, I Was Conquered by You'!"

Luo Tian blushed and shouted, "That's not right!"

"That's about enough, come on, show off your singing voice and conquer them!"

"That's terrible!" Luo Tianyi glared at Xiling fiercely, then coughed slightly. There was no music playing...

Facing the soldiers, Luo Tianyi closed her eyes, spread her hands, and then her voice rang out, "Sleep." The voice was accompanied by a kind of magic, which, though not loud, continued to spread in the air. Immediately afterward, the soldiers at the front fell down, and then, like dominoes, a large number of soldiers collapsed to the ground, with only a few barely able to stand.

But that didn't change anything; the Faded One used magic to knock these people unconscious.

“Let’s go,” Xiling said, placing the wheelchair with Remian and then stepping onto the bodies of the soldiers as they moved toward their objective.

Luo Tianyi said somewhat shyly, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao patted Luo Tianyi on the shoulder and said confidently, "Don't worry, once we've completed our mission of saving the world, those we've trampled on will feel extremely honored."

Kevin walked past the two and remarked, "I'd rather they arrested you for leaving mud on their armor of honor."

Penglai Temple's Nine Heavens straightened its chest. "It's alright, I won't let them know."

"Don't worry, I'll tell them then," the faded one said, giving a thumbs-up to the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple.

"Ugh!"

Penglai Temple Nine Heavens walked up to the faded one and said in a panic, "You're joking, right?! Don't do that kind of thing!"

"It's hard to say"

Amidst laughter, the group passed through countless buildings and finally arrived at a staircase.

At the end of the road, a pair of eyes opened, and Montgomery turned around.

Xiling, who was the first to walk up the steps, waved and said, "Didn't keep you waiting long?"

"...or rather, it was too fast."

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Hero Xiling Arrives to Save the World

"I'm glad I didn't keep you waiting long." Xiling, leaving the others behind, stepped over the last step, standing alone against Mengert.

Compared to Mengget's height, Xiling could almost be considered a child. The two faced each other, with Xiling looking up at him and Mengget looking down at Xiling.

The two stared at each other, and the wind gently rustled the leaves.

After a long time.

"An unknown stranger, coming from the other side of the border, could it be merely to pay homage to the throne?"

“You think it’s possible? You’ve come all this way, of course it’s for the Elden Ring.” Xiling pointed to Mongot, or more precisely, to the path behind Mongot that led into the Golden Tree.

"Have you come for the fire of ambition?" Mongot's voice was neither joyful nor sorrowful, but his eyes became even sharper. He stared directly into Xiling's eyes, as if trying to see into Xiling's heart with his own eyes.

"Even though you might not believe me, but..." Xiling's eyes showed no fear as she stepped forward, closing the distance between herself and Menggete. Pointing to herself, Xiling said, "I came to end this chaotic era."

"...Ridiculous, how could you possibly do that?"

"Then I will refute you without hesitation: why do you think I can't do it!"

Xiling pointed at Mengget and asked loudly, "Mengget claims to be the last king, guarding this golden tree behind you, but what's the point? The magic ring has long been shattered. Instead of guarding something useless, you might as well trust me!"

"...I believe in you"

Xiling placed her hand on her chest. "Yes, believe me."

Mongot silently turned around and looked at the golden tree behind him. Since the beginning of the Broken War, he had been the Blessed King guarding Rodel. Even though he had never been recognized, he was still willing to protect the golden tree as its guardian.

Montgomery closed his eyes, seemingly lost in his own memories. No one knew what the last king was recalling at that moment, but when he opened his eyes again and turned around, a sharp aura emanated from him.

Draw your sword, stranger!

The cane-like object in his hand instantly exploded, revealing the weapon's true form. With a flick of his wrist, Mongot unleashed a terrifying shockwave that blinded everyone. He pointed the weapon at Xiling and said, "Anyone can talk big. Show me with your strength! Is what you say true or false?"

Xiling drew her holy sword and pointed it at Mengget, saying, "This is not to be taken for granted!"

The battle began in the next second.

The Holy Sword and the Cursed Sword collided, and the next second Xiling was sent flying and floated in mid-air.

"This power is terrifying!" The thought flashed through Xiling's mind in an instant. Now was not the time to focus on that, because Mengget had already arrived.

The instant he knocked Xiling away, Mengget leaped from the ground and jumped above Xiling, slashing down heavily with his cursed sword. Xiling blocked with her holy sword, but without any leverage in mid-air, Xiling plummeted straight down into the city.

"Hey! Are we sure it's okay if we don't go help the hero?!" Houraiji Kyusho looked at Xiling, who had been blasted away and crashed into the city, and asked everyone for their opinion anxiously.

Although Xiling had told them at the beginning that he would fight the other party one-on-one until the other party admitted defeat, being knocked away in this one round made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

Kevin, Remian, and the Faded One had already opened the chat group panel to check. Seeing Penglai Temple Nine Heavens's anxiety, Kevin pointed to the panel, "You can take a look at this first."

Penglai Temple Jiuxiao quickly opened the character panel in the chat group. She clicked on Xiling's avatar and saw that Xiling's attributes were changing.

Besides the unknown magic, the three attributes of strength, speed, and endurance, which were originally CCB, are now rapidly changing, jumping from C to A, and constantly cycling.

"What's going on!" Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was confused at first, but she quickly remembered. She looked at Xiling's two abilities, and at this moment, "Will of the Hero" and "Hero in Desperate Circumstances" were flashing with pure white light.

Mongot the Ominous King, a demigod, has fought countless battles and caused rivers of blood to flow for many heroes, but today he has met his match.

Countless houses collapsed in the royal city of Rodel, and the cause of all this was those two figures, one large and one small.

Xiling's expression was extremely serious, and the holy sword in her hand almost turned into a blur as it clashed repeatedly with the cursed sword in Mengget's hand.

Whenever weapons clashed, the resulting impact would cause surrounding houses to collapse and the ground to shatter.

Xiling's fighting style almost completely abandoned defense. The Holy Sword slashed at Mengget at the most tricky angle, once again meeting Xiling's attack. But this time, a lightsaber appeared in Mengget's other hand. He stabbed fiercely at Xiling, but the next second, the Starry Cloak automatically blocked this sudden attack.

The lightsaber struck the cloak without causing any ripples. Just as Mongot was about to retreat, Xiling kicked out, and Mongot, caught off guard, was sent flying through countless walls.

cough cough cough

Mongot, who had fallen to the ground, got up and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He looked at the person in the distance who was walking towards him with a holy sword.

Struggling to his feet, feeling the pain in his abdomen, Mengget wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth expressionlessly. He had initially been able to suppress his opponent, but as time went on, not only his strength and speed, but even his skills were rapidly improving. For some reason, a thought suddenly appeared in Mengget's mind.

"Perhaps this person really can do it..."

“…What am I thinking?” Montgomery shook his head.

The Golden Tree rejected everything; they... had long been abandoned.

"How can we continue fighting?" Xiling asked casually as she stopped not far from Menggete.

"...Heh, are you concerned about your enemy?" With a flick of his weapon, Mongot once again assumed a fighting stance.

"No, you seem to have misunderstood something," Xiling said, also adopting a fighting stance.

"You and I are not enemies, Mongert, I need you."

Montgomery frowned, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

“The border region cannot be saved by one person alone. I am well aware of this, so I need you.” As soon as she finished speaking, Xiling appeared in front of Mengget and swung her sword.

With a clang, Montgomery raised his weapon to block the attack.

Looking into Xiling's eyes, Mengget knew that this guy was serious; he... wasn't joking.

They immediately separated upon contact and each retreated to the side.

puff.

Blood gushed from Mengget's mouth, but this time he didn't wipe it away. He spoke earnestly to Xiling.

“I have to tell you something: the Ring of Law has shattered, the Golden Tree has rejected everything… We have been abandoned.” When Montgomery said this, his expression was one of great pain, but this was the truth he knew, the truth about the Golden Tree.

"I know, and that's why I came here."

Mongot looked up at Xiling.

"Let me reintroduce myself." Xiling planted the Holy Sword in the ground, and a smile returned to her face.

“My name is Xiling, I am a hero, and also…” Xiling took out an item. When Mengget saw the item in Xiling’s hand, he even forgot to breathe. It was the law. Although it was strange, it was the law.

"You! Why do you possess this law! And a law I've never seen before!"

Xiling chuckled softly as she looked at the silver object swirling in her hand, then revealed it completely to Mengget. To Mengget's astonishment, Xiling spoke softly, "Following the guidance of the supreme will, the hero Xiling has come to save the world."

Chapter Twenty-Three: It's Time to Wake Up, Eternal Queen {Rearranged}

Mongot stared at the silvery-white law in a long silence, and finally put his weapon away.

Xiling retracted the silver-white law into her starry cloak. "Aren't we going to fight anymore?"

Montgomery shook his head. "...I'm no match for you. Besides...I believe you."

Xiling pulled the holy sword from the ground, put it back in its sheath, and said with a smile, "Believe me, I can change this world."

After saying this, “Believe in everything you’ve done,” Montgomery turned and walked toward the Elden Throne.

Menggete slowed down, but his long legs forced Xiling to quicken her pace slightly to keep up with him.

Xiling raised her head, her tone curious, "Did you choose to believe me because I produced the Law, or because I was guided here by the Supreme Will?"
