The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Overjoyed, the vampire even roared excitedly, turning and rushing towards the door under the astonished gazes of the crowd. However, upon reaching the corridor, he found no red-haired blood relative in front of him, but instead a thick crimson fog from which he could not see anything.

You think this will stop me from finding you?!

Without hesitation, Korn flew into the thick fog. Kent, who had been opposite him, saw the girl's gesture. She told them to deal with the remaining undead creatures first, and then go help her.

He couldn't help but wonder if Miss Walker could really hold on, but now was not the time to hesitate. Since she had said so, he should believe that the resentful child was confident in holding back the enemy.

Raising his longsword, Kent looked at the remaining zombies and ordinary derivatives on the field, wanting to kill them all as soon as possible to help the girl.

Maginus had already prepared a red mist that could conceal her presence.

Having a clear understanding of her own strength, she knew that she could only play a supporting role. When she first threw out the Nen Blade, she immediately spread red mist as a way out for later use.

The second psychic blade was thrown at Corno's back. Once the vampire made a move and it was clear that the blade couldn't hit his body, the girl, who had just made a hand gesture with Kent, immediately turned and fled into the thick fog composed of life force mist and smoke.

Next, I need to stall for time as much as possible so that the paladins can free up their hands. Once they've dealt with the zombies at the banquet, they should be able to shout loudly to let me know they can handle Korn.

Like Corno, Maginus was unwilling to gamble on the help of others, but she had no choice but to do so; being weak, she had no choice but to trust others.

The smoke-filled mansion was actually on the verge of collapse. The girl running through it could hear loud creaking sounds coming from the floor behind her. Corno was much faster than her.

Feeling that the distance was about right, she decisively conjured a psychic blade and threw it above her head as she passed through the hall. When Korno, who had rushed out of the red mist, saw the girl, the chandelier that suddenly fell from above made him pause, and the two of them separated by a little distance.

The vampire remained silent and continued chasing the girl. There was nothing more to say to each other; their relationship was always one of life-or-death struggle.

As they entered the narrow corridor, flames spewed out from all directions, and the two entered the area most severely affected by the fire.

It could also be said that the girl led Corno here.

Chapter 92 Cooperation

"My blood relative, are you such a coward? If you don't even dare to face me head-on, why don't you hand over your power to me?"

“I need some people to serve me. Once I have extracted the power from you, I can make you my offspring.”

The seductive music behind her reached Maginot's ears. Corno's words were magical, but their alluring words had no effect on the determined young woman.

Amidst the flames, she traversed a corridor filled with various rooms, using the red mist to discern the situation within. Suddenly, her eyes and head shifted slightly to her right.

The room to the right is a completely enclosed kitchen, filled with flour dust. There are faint traces of a complete explosion under the flames, and the door shows visible signs of bulging.

She conjured a blade and threw it behind her. The purplish-black in the girl's eyes was once again covered by scarlet. It was unclear whether it was due to the killing intent behind her or the approaching death, or perhaps it was caused by her blood relative, Korno.

Kill him and gain the power he possesses!

This voice in Maginot's heart grew louder and louder, urging her to fight Corno to the death immediately.

She quickly recreated a Nen blade. The danger made the girl grin, and the madness in her eyes deepened. As she passed through the kitchen door that was about to collapse, Korno was about to pass through it. She casually tossed the Nen blade onto the door lock.

Bang!

Unable to withstand the pressure, the gate was forced open by the expanding internal gas, along with a large amount of dust and flames. The scorching explosion created an attack like a fireball, and even added shockwave.

The wailing Corno was slammed against the wall, his body rapidly being burned by the flames. Unfortunately, the impact lasted only a moment, shedding a layer of flesh before it could continue.

The damage he suffered was replenished by negative energy. The energy mist surrounding Korno, having been injured multiple times, is now extremely thin and can no longer provide him with healing.

"Ahhhh!"

The ragged vampire scrambled to his feet, his previous air of elegance completely gone. He glared angrily at the girl who had already run around the corner, then got up on all fours and chased after her again.

He didn't notice that after the explosion and impact, the walls seemed to crack, and the cracks were growing and multiplying rapidly, quickly spreading to other areas, making the already crumbling mansion even more unstable.

Inside the venue teeming with zombies, the banquet hall was engulfed in flames. Fortunately, the temple members managed to wipe out the zombies at this critical moment.

They rested, panting, but Kent knew it wasn't over yet. Miss Walker was still being hunted by Cornelius for their sake, and the vampires weren't completely dead.

"Gentlemen, there's no time to rest."

Kent, having initially intended to have everyone search for the vampire's trail, fixed his gaze on the sudden falling burning wood. The carnage in the banquet hall changed his mind, and he instructed the children under his care:

"All of you leave the mansion and stand guard outside to prevent Corno from escaping."

The paladin captain's instructions made the three church members hesitate. Wright and his two companions frowned and stepped forward to say something, but Kent gave them a warning look, sheathed his longsword, and gave the instructions again in a serious voice:

"On my command, everyone leave and surround the mansion!!"

"Yes!" "...Yes!"

The rest of the church members immediately retreated outside, while Kent, ignoring the billowing smoke, took a deep breath and shouted, attempting to communicate with Maginus, whose whereabouts were currently unknown:

"Miss Walker, we've taken care of things here!"

There was no response from the banquet hall, only the sound of flames exploding. Seeing this, he immediately gripped the hilt and scabbard with both hands, closed his eyes, planted the longsword into the ground, and knelt on one knee to pray to the Light of No End:

"Great, endless light, please guide me in the right direction, and let me see where the enemy is."

When Kent opened his eyes again, he looked around and immediately saw a point of light appear in the upper left of the mansion. He rushed out of the banquet and approached the point of light according to the mansion route map he had seen before.

Jumping into the corridor that had collapsed from the second floor, the light spots grew larger and larger. After turning the last corner, the paladin saw the girl running towards him, while Corno, who was chasing after her, had a drastic change in expression.

"Once you're behind me, you won't have the strength to take revenge on him!"

Upon noticing the murderous intent emanating from Maginus, Kent ignored her twisted smile and shouted at her. The girl naturally sat down behind him without saying a word to recover her strength.

Kent didn't try to persuade the girl to escape first; her intense killing intent meant she wouldn't listen to reason so easily. He drew his weapon and pointed it at Corno, saying, "Corno, you will die here today, I said it."

"Then I'll kill you first, then I'll kill her!"

Having confirmed that only Kent had come this way, Corno, whose eyes, including the whites of his eyes, were completely bloodshot during the chase, nearly lost his mind, and his body also became somewhat distorted, making the elegant young nobleman look like a monster.

His skin faded from a normal human color to a corpse-like bluish-white, his red eyes bulged out from his face, which was extremely thin due to excessive negative energy, and his sharp nails turned bluish-black, making him look incredibly dangerous.

Break the evil!

Kent fought him again, but his attack, imbued with willpower, failed to hit Corno and instead struck the wall, carving cracks into it.

After the great battle, Kent, being human, was on the verge of collapse. The only reason he was still able to fight was because of his own willpower, using his mind to support his exhausted body.

Having dodged the attack, Corno raised his sword and thrust it into his body. The heavy armor that had withstood multiple attacks was finally breached, and the longsword pierced through his shoulder and pressed against the armor.

This is an opportunity.

Kent tossed the longsword into his left hand and thrust it at the vampire. The blade, infused with positive energy, pierced Korno's throat, sending a sharp burning sensation through him.

The two, each with their own negative states, reached a point of life-or-death struggle. They each released their weapons, and the paladin unleashed his still-movable left fist at the vampire's face, while the vampire extended sharp fingernails toward the eye gap in his helmet.

In their focus, they all forgot one thing: there was another person present.

Maginus moved as Corno's sword pierced Kent's shoulder.

She leaped from the ground, landing on the crumbling wall as she sprang towards both sides. Just as Corno was about to have his eyes and even brain pierced, Maginus acted before her mind, choosing to save the paladin first rather than kill her own blood relative with a single blow.

With both hands tightly gripping the guardian's hand, the guardian severed Korno's hands, then released one hand and shaped a psychic blade to stab at the vampire's face.

Chapter 93 Wasted Tuolai?x? (Putting the strange spear on)

crunch

The piercing sound indicated that the attack had missed. The vampire used his sharp and hard teeth to firmly bite down on the mind blade. The threat of death brought him a moment of clarity. A ring lit up, and a loud bang accompanied by a powerful impact erupted from him, sending Kent and Maginus flying.

This wouldn't cause much damage to the two people who weren't holding on tightly, but the biggest problem has become apparent.

The house, which had been damaged countless times, could no longer hold on.

The vampire's impact exerted its final force, and the entire house collapsed suddenly, like dominoes, in a chain reaction centered on the vampire.

Kent was almost exhausted, and Corno had a longsword stuck in his body. Maginus, who was the most likely to escape, tried to get up and run away when the roof collapsed first, slamming into her back and knocking her down.

Having lost their best chance to escape, the girl struggled to curl up and hide herself under the roof debris, while Cornelius and Kent huddled in a corner of the corridor.

All three were prepared for the collapse, but the next second disaster struck and the entire house completely collapsed!

……

boom!

"Captain!!!" "No!"

Church members who had retreated outside the house, along with some onlookers, watched helplessly as the massive mansion collapsed, causing the magic array engraved within it to crumble and the resulting smoke and flames to spread in all directions.

The violent impact knocked nearby people to the ground, and flying debris from the building struck many others.

Church members who were on good terms with Kent looked anxious. Haru, who was being treated by a priest, tried to rush into the smoke-filled ruins but was restrained by Wright. Several priests who arrived at the scene quickly cast a rain spell, but unfortunately it had little effect on the massive mansion.

Their divine magic was almost completely depleted after treating the civilians.

"On my command, cast a rain spell to extinguish the flames, advance slowly, and avoid getting hurt!"

Wright shouted calmly, his eyes equally filled with anxiety.

Church members advanced step by step to extinguish the fire, but before they could reach the center, a tremor came from a corner, and rubble fell to the surrounding low-lying areas.

"Watch out, back up!"

Wright, who was in temporary command, immediately ordered everyone to stop fighting the fire. Suddenly, a spot covered in smoke and still burning suddenly caved in, and a small bat flew out from the crevice, only to fall back to the ground as soon as it flew out.

A light flashed, revealing a battered and bruised Corno in the smoke. One of his arms was completely severed, and his body was covered in skeletal bones.

He looked up and stared intently at the closest creature outside the smoke, intending to rush over before the church members could react.

Life energy! He needs more life energy to quickly replenish his lost strength!

Damn it, the blood relative who was trapped underneath is still alive. No problem, I'll kill her after he replenishes his energy!

Their running bodies kicked up a cloud of smoke. It was too late for them to run away. Then, with another loud bang, a wall was smashed open, and Kent, who had been buried under the rubble, stood up again and stood in front of the vampire.

"You paladins are really like pests, impossible to kill..."

Korno stopped abruptly, gritting his teeth as he spoke, his ears ringing so loudly he could barely hear anything.

Kent chuckled, his voice hoarse and deep. One eye was tightly closed inside his armor, blood constantly flowing from it. He could still hear a little bit, and retorted sarcastically:

"I should be saying this: the dead should lie properly in their coffins, not be out in the sun..."

Corno didn't know what he was talking about, but he knew it wasn't anything nice, so he shook his head.

"team leader!"

Just as the able-bodied people were about to come up to help, Kent said with difficulty, "Don't come over. Don't give the vampires that might emerge from the ground a chance to replenish their strength, and don't shoot arrows or launch ranged attacks indiscriminately."

He didn't even have the strength to shout anymore, but those who were nearby still heard his words and stopped in their tracks, showing worried expressions.

The smoke and dust were too thick, and the two of them were too close together. Korno could use their ranged attacks against Kent at any time to hinder him. Consequently, Korno dared not raise his hand to use magic, as Kent's attack would come first.

The paladin must use his own life to hold him off until reinforcements arrive or to inflict a fatal blow on the vampire before his death, so that the children can kill him more easily.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, wary of each other. For a moment, Corno was stuck there, and the three-person team nervously watched the two. Haru suddenly whispered, "I feel like I've forgotten something."

Simi, who had been looking around anxiously, heard his voice and said worriedly, "Miss Walker, I'm afraid..."

Haru and Wright suddenly realized what was happening, and at the same time, their expressions turned even more worried. All three of them realized that she had probably collapsed inside the house, and they didn't have much hope that the girl was still alive.

Uh……

It hurts... it itches... but this is so wonderful...

My whole body is in excruciating pain... I don't know how many bones I've broken... I don't know if I'll survive...

Despite being trapped under the roof, Maginot was happy; the pain and the feeling of impending death made her feel like she was with her loved ones.

I really want to die.

live.

I really want to give up everything.

live.

It seems pointless to continue living.

The enemy is not dead yet! (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated.)

The instinctual desire for life manifested in the weak yet gentle voice of the elder brother. Anger and resentment gave him a reason to live, overpowering his self-destructive tendencies and indifference to death. The girl opened her bloodshot eyes again, her weak fingers clenching and rubbing the wooden planks beneath her.

The life force began to repair and correct the bones, and then repair the flesh. The thighs and arms were pierced by splinters, and the splinters could not be squeezed out of these places. The powerful life energy seemed powerless.

Maginus moved slightly, and an invisible life force, under the influence of psychic energy, condensed into blood-red arms, seemingly helping her lift the heavy burden.

The life mist spread outwards, and the outside world appeared in her mind. Two weak figures were facing each other, and she happened to be behind Korno.

He gripped his sword.

Grasp your sword!

Grasping the hilt of her protector's sword, the girl stretched out her left hand through the gap and crawled out using all four limbs. The scorching air distorted her vision, but Maginus could still see the two people under the moonlight through the gap.

Where did the vibration come from?
