The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Sparks flew as the sword brushed against her fingertips, but no matter how much the player roared and strained, he couldn't lower the blade even an inch.

"bang"

With a crisp sound, the hard sword was crushed into pieces by the gray-robed girl's five fingers. The shattered blade reflected the player's astonished face like a mirror under the moonlight.

"Snapped"

Immediately following a muffled thud, the gray-robed girl flicked her finger and smashed the player's head like a watermelon.

This is a monster!?

Raymond was horrified; his fear reached its peak in an instant.

Fortunately, thanks to the brief delay provided by the two players, the burly man manipulating gravity magic finally managed to land everyone in the desert outside the town.

Gravity spells are not known for their speed, and most people's mobility skills can only be used on the ground. Therefore, as soon as their shoes touched the ground, the players, along with the Dark Shepherd, took off running into the distance.

Speed-up, Wind-riding, Lightness... all the skills related to escaping were unleashed at once, as the players from several companies just wanted to create as much distance as possible from the monster.

The gray-robed girl narrowed her eyes, her blood-stained palms outstretched, runes forming ribbons that danced and swirled around her arms, and soon she summoned a whirlwind imbued with magical power from her palms.

She casually tossed the small whirlwind spell, and the swirling wind grew larger and larger in the air, transforming into a roaring tornado that connected heaven and earth as it swooped down when it reached the heads of the players.

The raging hurricane whipped up a sandstorm on the flat ground, instantly throwing the fleeing players to their knees.

The howling sandstorm left everyone with nothing but a vast expanse of yellow. The players, blown about by the gale, could barely get up, let alone escape.

The gray-robed girl, with her back to the full moon, looked down from high above at the humans struggling in the sandstorm like insects, and randomly chose the nearest target and swooped down.

Her petite body remained unaffected as she flew into the sandstorm, and she opened her right hand and ripped it out at the company player's chest.

But the sensation of flesh piercing through her flesh that she had expected did not occur. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the other person stumbled and strangely brushed past her fingertips, avoiding her body.

A hint of surprise flashed through the gray-robed girl's mind, and she lunged forward, striking the other's shoulder with another claw.

This time she was a little more serious, and her five claw-shaped fingers moved so fast that they left afterimages in mid-air.

But strangely, as if the guy had been blown off balance by the wind, he used a bizarre backward lean to make her second grab miss again.

"what?"

A flash of anger crossed the gray-robed girl's eyes. This time, she could clearly see that he was a tall, thin man with messy hair and dead fish eyes.

As if she was not convinced, she immediately swung her arm and rushed forward to grab again.

"Hey, wait, why are you only targeting me?"

The one targeted by the gray-robed girl was naturally Ye Xiao. As an undercover agent, he couldn't reveal his strength too obviously, and he didn't know if anyone in the sandstorm would happen to see him. So, he could only dodge the girl's attacks by using all sorts of strange wrestling moves as if by coincidence.

That way, if he gets noticed, he can explain that he was just lucky to be blown by the wind, and that he didn't "dodge" it.

Chapter 83 A Swarm of Birds

But Ye Xiao's dance-like movements darted left and right in the wind, and no matter how swiftly the girl's hands grabbed at him, she couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes, which finally made the latter's anger surge.

Runes emerged, and a storm-like spell exuding terrifying pressure once again gathered in the gray-robed girl's palm.

"Go to hell."

Her tone was filled with intense hatred; she refused to believe that this strange company player could dodge this move.

"Wow, that move is way too dangerous!"

As expected, the other party exclaimed in surprise, but before the girl could finish condensing her spell, a finger pierced through the sandstorm with lightning speed and touched her forehead.

In an instant, she felt her magical power stagnate, and the storm that had gathered in her palm burst apart with a "pop".

The gray-robed girl was stunned, her eyes fixed on Ye Xiao's face with disbelief.

This human just sealed her magic?!

Ye Xiao was also somewhat surprised. Although he didn't have high hopes for his proficiency with "Touch of the Demon," the fact that he had accurately hit this guy and only silenced him for less than a tenth of a second was just too weak.

Suddenly, a gust of wind became fierce, blowing the mustache that was stuck to Ye Xiao's mouth off.

"Neigh! My beard!"

He was immediately terrified, and reached out to grab the beard that was about to drift away, sticking it back under his nose.

Unexpectedly, this abstract act was like a tinderbox that ignited the gray-robed girl. Looking at this inexplicable fellow in front of her, an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in her heart.

She waved her arm, and beneath her sleeves, her fair hands sprouted a layer of hard scales. Her fingers no longer resembled those of a human, and her nails had grown into sharp, hook-like claws.

The claws tore through the air, and the swirling wind transformed into three pale, sharp blades along the trajectory of the strike.

A terrifying pressure emanated from the air, and the raging sandstorm that filled the sky was torn open like a curtain by the three blades of energy, revealing the dark night sky that had been obscured behind it.

As her vision was averted by her claw, a splatter of bright red blood bloomed in the gray-robed girl's eyes.

He's finally going to die.

A hint of pleasure flashed in the gray-robed girl's eyes, but when the chaotic dust dissipated, she was shocked to find that the person whose neck was gushing blood was a ranger wearing a hunter's cloak, not the dead-eyed corporate player from before.

"Eh?"

Just then, Ye Xiao's somewhat embarrassed voice came from the side.

He was so focused on dodging that he forgot to check if anyone was behind him, causing another player from another company to suffer a terrible fate.

But you really can't blame him. The wind blade that came out of that claw could have left cracks on the ground twenty or thirty meters away. In the sandstorm, his vision was all yellowish. He couldn't even perceive anything clearly with his mind's eye beyond three meters away, let alone that unlucky guy who was seven or eight meters away from him.

However, there are even fewer company players now. Originally, there were seven on the roof, including Ye Xiao, but now four have been eliminated. Apart from Ye Xiao, only the red-haired mage Raymond and the burly player who can use gravity magic remain.

However, the gray-robed girl was clearly not satisfied with her results, and her anger almost burst forth from her dark golden pupils.

As the sandstorm subsided, some figures with their arms hanging down staggered out from behind the surrounding dunes. These were the townspeople who had been manipulated into self-destructing and corrupting, and they chased after the group from the town, surrounding them from one side.

"It's over..."

Raymond, whose legs were still stuck in the sand, looked on with despair. The monster was terrifying enough, let alone these ghostly townspeople who could self-destruct.

The burly player swallowed hard and stood in front of the Dark Healer Deborah and Doma, but his slightly trembling body betrayed his fear.

"Tsk, in the end I still have to make a move."

Seeing that the two company players had completely lost their fighting spirit, Ye Xiao knew he couldn't count on them. Now, he could only dust himself off, stand up alone, and face the gray-robed girl with rising killing intent, and the countless figures lined up behind her.

The dragons of unknown origin are quite interesting; he'll deal with them seriously for now.

The dagger slid from Ye Xiao's sleeve into his palm, and a rare glint of light flashed in his usually listless eyes beneath his disheveled hair.

This somewhat unusual behavior caused a hint of surprise to appear in the gray-robed girl's eyes.

She suddenly realized, somewhat belatedly, that this unassuming man might actually be the most dangerous of all the corporate players.

But at that moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently.

Everyone turned their heads in surprise, only to faintly hear the sound of wild beasts galloping in the night sky, as if countless hooves were pounding the ground.

What the hell?

Ye Xiao couldn't see the gray-robed girl's full face, which was hidden by her collar, but he could tell from the fact that she kept turning her head to the side that this commotion was not part of her plan.

He looked at the distant, undulating sand dunes of the desert. As the roaring sound drew closer, he saw a group of animals resembling ostriches striding powerfully toward their location.

A flock of chocobos? Where did these things come from?

This is a herbivorous monster that lives in groups in the desert, but they are not college students and usually do not get up to do morning exercises at three o'clock in the morning.

Ye Xiao's eyes were filled with countless questions until he saw a small figure perched on a bird's back at the very front of the flock.

It was a girl wearing a wide cloak, her orange hair flowing like surging waves in the moonlight.

"Look, I've found a means of transportation!"

Even with her face covered in dirt, Miss Mo Feng recognized Ye Xiao at a glance and waved excitedly at him.

"It just seems a little hard to control, hehe."

As soon as the words were spoken, the raging herd of beasts charged towards the stunned group of people like an out-of-control car.

What the hell!

Fortunately, Ye Xiao reacted quickly, sheathed his short sword, and charged towards Deborah, scooping her up from the sand and throwing one of the first chocobos to charge at him by the collar.

Raymond and the other player reacted immediately, quickly getting up from the sand and rushing towards the chaotic flock of birds.

"Want to run!?"

The gray-robed girl couldn't possibly stand idly by, so she raised her hand to summon the storm again. Unexpectedly, a blade of light as bright as the moon suddenly pierced through the air from behind her.

The attack was too sudden and caught the gray-robed girl off guard. The curved blade, carrying a chilling aura, struck her back and shattered into pieces as if it were glass.

However, the impact caused the girl to stagger half a step, and the magic she was condensing in her hands was interrupted.

She turned her head angrily, and in her line of sight, a black-haired girl carrying a long sword was walking towards her with a limp.

The girl's tight leather armor was somewhat damaged, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, but on her indifferent face, a pair of cold eyes shone with a pale light.

Chapter 84 Escaping the Western Frontier

"Such immense magical power, what's going on with her?"

Ye Xiao lay on the back of the speeding chocobo, seemingly asking Raymond beside him unintentionally.

He sensed a divine power flowing through Miss Naluo, which was clearly beyond the scope of ordinary players.

"That guy doesn't know that Miss Luo is a chosen one, she must be protected by a god from above."

Raymond hadn't expected Ye Xiao to try and trick him into revealing information at this moment. Without much thought, he excitedly replied, "We're saved! No matter how strong that gray-robed monster is, he can't possibly rival the power of a god!"

"Ouch."

Ye Xiao remained noncommittal. The gray-robed girl was actually hiding her strength quite well, and whether Miss Luo, who had unleashed her full power, could win was still unknown.

But in any case, it's always a good thing that someone is holding back the gray-robed girl, so he doesn't have to risk exposing his identity and fighting that powerful enemy head-on.

There's absolutely no need to offer assistance; the company's players aren't ordinary people, they all know what they're doing.

However, the chill emanating from Miss Luo did seem somewhat familiar to him.

Sophia, the Ice Saintess, is the chosen one of the companies that Ella once harmed in the Holy City. She also possesses a similar divine power.

Is it because Sophia is gone that a new God has been chosen?

As Ye Xiao fled, he pondered the situation. With the chocobo running at full speed, he was getting further and further away from the battlefield.

Some of the manipulated townspeople even started running after them, but they were no match for the speed of this nimble monster and were soon left behind.

As for the gray-robed girl, she naturally couldn't spare any more energy to pursue Ye Xiao and the others. She and Miss Luo stared intently at each other, and she truly felt a sense of threat from their opponent, who was enveloped in frost magic.

"He said you would appear here, and it seems he was right."

The black-haired girl spoke slowly. Despite her numerous wounds, her upright posture amidst the frost magic exuded a cold and elegant aura.

Her tone was calm and composed, like a noblewoman chatting elegantly at a banquet, completely unlike someone on a battlefield, and utterly incongruous with her expressionless, cold face.

"Goddess of the North".

The gray-robed girl's dark golden eyes closed slightly. Although she only uttered four short words, the killing intent in her eyes grew stronger.

"We thought we could catch that traitor, but unfortunately, he's even more cowardly than we thought."

Miss Luo's lips curled into a smile, "But catching you is enough to complete the mission, after all... you are one of Father's most precious treasures."

"Die!!!"

These words seemed to enrage the gray-robed girl. Her eyes widened suddenly, and her petite figure, shrouded in her cloak, twisted and swelled up abruptly.

With a deafening roar, Ye Xiao, who was fleeing the battlefield in the distance, saw through the swirling dust and saw a giant dragon roaring to the sky, its black shadow rising majestically into the night sky.

A massive glacier rose from the direction of the town, whipping up howling winds and dust storms that blotted out the sky and the moon.

Ye Xiao didn't know the final outcome of the battle. He had been riding his chocobo further and further away until the huge glacier disappeared below the horizon.

……

It's dawn the next day.

After riding on the backs of chocobos all night, the group finally saw the silhouette of a sunlit city slowly rising from the northwest in the boundless yellow sand.

This is Sotetobon, a border city of the Kingdom of Doum. Once you arrive here, you have entered the territory occupied by the Principality of Tedeh.

The current main battlefield between Loren and the Duchy is located in the desert about two or three hundred miles east of Soltto. Ye Xiao and his group traveled from Strømsgod to Shabu Town, crossed the border, and then went to Soltto, essentially making a detour southward to bypass the battlefield.
