The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Damn Cornorovella!

Simi, Light, and Haru angrily attacked the derivatives in front of them. The three of them blocked two special maids and two ordinary servants. The group, which was blessed by divine magic, put them into a long-lasting state of radiant burning.

The incident happened rather suddenly. The church members waiting outside only saw the mansion suddenly enveloped by a special magic circle, followed by a chorus of wails.

They rushed in and immediately saw that the ordinary people were in a state of being unable to live or die.

Fortunately, the church quickly identified the power of this magic circle: it could cause people with weak constitutions or insufficient force field protection to lose blood, but its ability to bind souls prevented dying people from dying quickly.

They knew very well that Corno was doing this so that the church would disperse its personnel to help civilians, but they still chose to disperse their forces, while Wright and others were assigned to combat groups to clear out the dangerous derivatives.

Several other groups rushed directly to the venue, unaware of the current situation, as the explosion had originated from the banquet area.

While being protected, Simi glanced out of the corner of her eye at the shattered window during the battle. Flames were also rising from the slums, clearly indicating that the cult had launched its operation at the same time. She wondered if it was progressing well.

She glanced away and then withdrew her gaze. Simi raised her hand and released the divine spell Heavenly Illusion. The gentle words that came from her mouth allowed one of the derivatives to temporarily glimpse the blessings and joy from the Seven Mountains of Heaven.

In that instant, it regained its sense of good and evil, which it had when it was alive, and was stunned by a moment of regret and shock.

"Destroy evil!"

The paladin wielding the exquisite longsword swung it fiercely, cleaving the ordinary maid's body in two. The remains turned to ashes in the air and fell to the ground. A special entity took out several sharp knives and threw them at Simi. Simi swung her hard-headed hammer and deflected them one by one. At present, it seems that no support is needed.

Majinus, who was hiding to the side, watched the battle. She did not go out to help immediately, but closed her eyes and felt the strong life force in the air.

The fresh blood extracted from this magic circle is constantly emitting energy that only Maginus can easily control and perceive. And since no one else controls it, the girl can use it at will. The only drawback is that the energy dissipates too quickly.

Vampires do not control their external life force, and it is clear that Korno, who possesses the same evil god power, cannot use psychic energy to control life energy like she does; he simply wants to use this method to restrain the church.

Having gathered life from the air, Crimson finally reclaimed some territory in the purplish-black pupils. Maginus focused her gaze on the special derivative, and the life force flowing into her body made her feel satisfied.

With the blade of thought appearing in her hand, the girl calmly waited for her opportunity. The paladin Light kept slashing, and with the help of Simi who was constantly assisting from a distance, he single-handedly blocked two special derivatives. Meanwhile, the warrior Haru was about to kill the remaining ordinary derivatives.

The situation was dire; the two maids hesitated to reveal their bat-monster forms, seemingly still harboring some reservations. This momentary hesitation sealed their fate.

Wright stepped forward again, ignoring the man attacking the heavily armored man, focusing his attention on the maid in front of him, and raised his longsword high once more.

A light powerful enough to incinerate even the weakest ghosts emanated from the gem on the hilt, quickly spreading across the entire blade. The aura emanating from Ochre VII Wright instilled fear in the three derivative beings.

"Destroy evil!"

Shouting out the name of the paladin's ultimate move, the longsword, radiating light, slashed towards the maid in front of him. Her eyes widened as she revealed a strange smile, and her body, which should have been unable to escape the attack range, suddenly retreated half a meter.

That half meter seemed to determine her life or death. The longsword missed its mark and the maid felt a sense of relief at surviving. The trio felt a sense of crisis. Just then, the surviving maid's body stiffened, and everyone heard a faint sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh behind her.

The corpse fell forward, and Maginus emerged from the shadows, a psychic blade radiating black energy piercing the back of the derivative maid's head.

The maid's body turned to ashes, the Nen Blade disappeared and reappeared in the girl's hand. She nodded slightly to the joyful trio and then focused her gaze on the remaining derivative.

Just a moment ago, the ordinary derivative that Haru was targeting also died.

The remaining special entity roared, its body swelled up, and its maid outfit was torn apart, instantly transforming into a giant bat monster: "Aaaaaah!"

"Miss Walker, your weapon!"

Maginus firmly grasped the longsword that radiated magical light, drawing it to face the bat.

The change only slightly increased its strength, and the four of them quickly dealt with it completely. Maginus calmly absorbed the blood containing the power, and then asked them about the current situation.

As they ran, they talked and were greatly relieved to learn that Maginus had dealt with the underground zombies. The girl also learned that their captain, Kent, was probably at the banquet.

The journey to the banquet was not long, only a little over a minute, and they did not encounter any other enemies along the way. When they arrived at the broken gate, Maginus was about to look inside when a terrifying gust of wind suddenly blew in from inside, pushing the frail girl and the priest against the wall.

"Cough cough cough."

Simi coughed beside him, and Maginus and another warrior went inside and peered out again. The situation inside was not optimistic, at least not for the nobles of White Dove City.

The ground was littered with the mangled bodies of nobles and their bodyguards, while others had transformed into undead creatures to fight the church members. The two most watched, or rather the two strongest, were Kent and Cornorovella.

Magic Explosion!

A crimson-purple ray of twisted magic shot from Korn's hand toward Kent. The paladin raised his longsword to block the evil-smelling ray and swung it forward. The elegant vampire raised his longsword with wriggling eyes on the hilt and clashed with Kent, a paladin who was completely effective against vampires. Surprisingly, they were evenly matched.

Is it the sorcerer's Warlock who has signed the Blade Pact?

Maginus discerned Corno's origins.

Sorcerers are those who form contracts with beings from other planes. Their relationship with the sovereign is similar to that between a priest and a god, but the sovereign is not a true god.

At the same time, the source of the sorcerer's power is not the sect leader. At most, the sect leader only created an energy channel connecting to another world for him. The source of the sorcerer's power mainly comes from the other world itself that is being connected.

This also means that the sect leader could be weaker than the sorcerer, but it is unknown whether the sect leader of Korn is weak or strong.

Chapter 90 Phase 2

The aftershocks of the attack were from the battle between Kent and Corno, which made the girl realize that she was no match for Corno. Being at a disadvantage, she decisively hid behind the door, quietly waiting for the final outcome, preparing to reap the rewards of victory later.

It was difficult for anyone to join the fight between the two, not only because they were too powerful, but also because the undead creatures transformed from the dead nobles created the conditions for a one-on-one duel.

Compared to the undead, there were relatively few church members in the hall. They dealt with the zombies bit by bit, while the priests occasionally managed to hit Korno with ranged attacks.

"Cornorovella, show us what you've got. You should still have a backup plan!"

Break the evil!

Kent's longsword emitted a light even more intense than Wright's, and he slashed down at Corno. The elegant vampire finally showed a hint of dishevelment, and seeing that he could not dodge, he immediately raised his arms and placed them across his chest.

The cuffs of the clothes were shattered by the force, revealing the black arm armor underneath. The arm armor withstood the direct attack, but a small amount of the positive energy and willpower brought by the Demon-Slaying Slash still mercilessly rushed into the vampire's body.

He burst into flames, the ethereal golden flames burning his skin, which was then rapidly repaired by Corno's powerful regenerative abilities.

The pain made the vampire's already bloodshot eyes even more ferocious. He cast his gaze across the entire hall, showing little regret for the consequences of his sudden outburst.

The forces currently deployed by the church are still within his control, and it's time for him to regroup his forces.

I don't know if my blood relative has arrived at the mansion yet, but we'll find out soon enough.

A crimson aura exploded outwards from Corno, forcing Kent to retreat several steps and making it difficult for him to get close. To Kent's astonishment, Corno's appearance became even more captivating, and his canines grew even sharper.

The vampire, having taken a few steps back, spread his arms wide and laughed loudly: "Hahaha~, since you all want to see my power so much, then I certainly won't let you leave disappointed. Open your eyes wide, this is my power!"

The special derivatives located in various areas of the mansion seemed to sense something, their faces showing displeasure, fear, and anger. Before they could make a move, their bodies all withered at the same time, and a huge amount of negative energy, carrying a little bit of life force, converged towards the center.

Maginus, who was waiting outside the door, sensed the arrival of those powers. She tried to influence them with her psychic energy, but to little avail. The power of the evil god did tremble slightly, but it was completely drawn to Korn.

Kent and the church members inside the venue only saw multiple streams of foul-smelling black liquid surging towards Korno from all directions, his aura multiplying, and the smell of blood and death enveloping the entire venue.

"My servants, tear them to pieces!"

He casually pointed at the undead creatures fighting the church warriors, and the zombies immediately emitted a blood-red light. Their attack became ferocious and aggressive, and their claws and fangs, infused with corpse poison, became even sharper.

What kind of spell is this?

Kent, who couldn't discern the origin of the magic, naturally wouldn't let Corno continue casting spells. He leaped towards the vampire, and his longsword shone brightly once more.

Break the evil!

Having regained his power, Korno stared at the paladin leaping toward him, a sinister grin spreading across his face. He made no attempt to dodge, lightly flicking his longsword with the eye on it. He opened his palm and aimed at Kent, who was falling above him. Powerful negative energy, carrying magic, immediately gathered in his palm.

The Arm of the Khata!

He raised his hand and clenched it, and tendrils made of energy spread out from his body!

Kent snorted coldly, his energy tentacles striking the heavy armor and causing it to corrode. The armor was stained black, and his body inside withered due to the darkness. However, he endured the pain caused by the tentacles and resolutely swung his longsword down.

This time, the longsword struck Korno's body without any resistance, cutting him directly from the shoulder to the waist. The huge wound did not kill him immediately, as the massive negative energy surrounding him relentlessly sustained his life.

Some of the vampires, in pain, fell backward, but with excited smiles on their faces, they pointed their index fingers at Kent and uttered malicious incantations.

The ground beneath the paladin's feet suddenly became scorching hot. Sensing the danger, he had only taken half a step back when blazing flames rose from the soles of his feet, engulfing him completely.

A roar from purgatory!

"team leader!"

Many people stared wide-eyed and roared, their movements as they dealt with the undead creatures becoming increasingly clean and efficient. Kent, scorched by the flames, did not retreat but advanced, resolutely striding towards Kornno.

The aroma of charred flesh wafted from inside the armor, and no one knew the extent of his suffering. A warm and bright light shone from within the armor, and his gaze grew even more resolute.

We absolutely cannot let this special vampire live!

Using the paladin's special ability, Healing, Kent's injured body was mostly healed. He gripped his longsword tightly, and the light once again obscured Korn's eyes.

cut!

As the sword slashed down towards the vampire's head, Corno dodged the attack once again. Just as the blade was about to strike him, he transformed into a tiny bat to dodge it, flew above Kent, and then transformed back to normal, using the magic weapon in his hand to thrust straight at the area of ​​the helmet where the eyes were exposed.

tracer!

A flash of light flew from Simi's fingertip to the enemy, hitting the tip of the weapon with perfect accuracy. The crooked longsword pierced the armor but did not completely penetrate it. Kent clenched his left fist and smashed it into Korno's face, sending him flying.

"ho ho"

People get tired.

Kent was not a warrior focused on improving his stamina. After the intense battle, he finally felt a bit exhausted. Instead of continuing to fight Corno, he used his longsword to help himself recover his strength.

"Hehe, it seems you're exhausted, Mr. Kent."

Korno laughed heartily. His body, which should have been torn in two, was completely repaired by the negative energy. Although he was talking to Kent, his attention was not on the great enemy in front of him, but rather he was observing his surroundings, as if he was looking for something.

Judging from the amount of blood that returned to his body, the power of two maids did not return to his body, which means that his blood relatives were in the mansion and had killed two of his derivatives.

Kent noticed Korn's distraction and wanted to attack but was too weak to do so. He could only take deep breaths to recover his strength, but because he was focused on the vampire, he was completely unaware that a sneaky, invisible creature was approaching from behind.

Just as the invisible creature was about to launch its attack, a sharp dagger flew in from the doorway not far away. The sudden killing intent made Kent turn around, and as he watched the energy dagger dissipate into the air, he realized something was wrong behind him and raised his hand to strike.

Chapter 91 Leading the Way

The sword blade killed a derivative that attacked from behind. Korno's gaze fell in the direction from which the mind blade had been thrown, but there was nothing there.

The girl's psychic blade was now completely covered in purplish-black, making it impossible to discern anything related to the Crimson God. Naturally, the vampire had no idea who was helping her, assuming it was just another church warrior.

Damn it, how can I lure that woman out? Should I deliberately show weakness?

Seeing that Maginus had not yet appeared, Corno realized that his blood relative was probably weaker than he had imagined; otherwise, he, who had already been weakened so much, would have already attracted her attack.

Do you want him to weaken it further?

The vampire rejected this unsafe option, and his aura surged once more. The crimson in his pupils transformed into blood lines extending from his eyes, and ferocious bat patterns appeared on his face.

The appearance of this mark signifies that the vampire has gone all out.

Cornelius had no intention of relying on "possibility" for his safety; he wanted to kill everyone in the manor, which would definitely eliminate any blood relatives hiding there.

"The game is over. Die, you weak paladin! After you, you'll be nothing but ants under your command!"

Magic Explosion!

Multiple, continuous beams of light shot from his hand. Kent raised his longsword to protect his chest, but the red and purple beams kept repelling him until his body was pressed against the wall, leaving him no possibility of moving. He was forced to use his longsword to block the attacks.

Korno, having regained his power, was indeed a completely different person. The church members around him who were dealing with the undead could only watch helplessly, as the suddenly enhanced undead were beyond their ability to deal with quickly.

Wright painstakingly killed a zombie, closely observing the crucial battlefield. Seeing his captain at a disadvantage, the young man shouted without hesitation:

"I, Holy Knight Light, hereby swear that I will burn myself in flames."

"Wright, shut up!" "Ha, do you think I'd let you so easily swear a vow of sacrifice on the battlefield?"

Kent and Cornelius's voices rang out simultaneously. The vampire, looking wary, shifted his hand and unleashed a burst of magical energy. Wright, who was only halfway through his sentence, was blasted away. The captain, now having a chance to catch his breath, charged at the enemy again.

In simple terms, the Oath of Sacrifice is an "official cheat code" that paladins can use when they are on the verge of despair. Other oaths are based on the heart and the vow to connect with the world, but the Oath of Sacrifice is different. It is actually about borrowing power from the three good gods.

The method of taking an oath is very simple: just recite a short oath in the Celestial language. Magic and unwavering will will connect the world and convey the oath to the three gods.

There are probably not many paladins who can make a vow to gain superpowers. Each member who is willing to sacrifice does not necessarily need to believe in the three gods, but their hearts must be unwavering and their desire for goodness must reach a certain level. After the battle, what awaits them is that their bodies are shattered and their souls go to the kingdom of the gods.

Korn was unsure if Kent was "qualified," but he was unwilling to gamble. If the oath were successfully signed, the relatively weaker Wright would immediately possess strength comparable to Kent's.

Although he successfully interrupted Wright's oath, this also allowed the suppressed captain to regain his ability to move. While fighting with him, the vampire did not forget to look at Wright, who was making his oath. When he realized that Wright had no intention of continuing to make his oath, he immediately realized that he had been tricked.

If he truly has a firm resolve to make a sacrifice, he should continue making that vow now.

It's okay, my strength won't decline over time. Those who can't beat me still can't beat me!

Kent swung his sword down as usual, but to his surprise, Corno did not block it at all, and instead let the sword strike him directly.

The paladin knew why the next second. A sudden burst of cold air erupted from the vampire, and the burst of cold air and ice shards damaged him again, while also causing his body to stiffen.

"Go to hell!"

The longsword thrust twice into the gap in the helmet, and Korno suddenly felt a chill down his spine. It seemed that an attack that could kill him was rapidly approaching!

How is that possible? How could there be someone here who could kill me in one move... No, it's possible.

Sheathing his sword to block behind him, the energy short sword was blocked. As Korno kicked Kent away, he twisted his neck almost 180 degrees to look behind him, and a strand of red hair disappeared behind the door.

"finally found you!"
