"Cut everything, Durandall!"
Durandall, the sword of the first paladin, Roland, forged from various divine artifacts, was an absolute holy sword. And the legend it represented, of course, was the most famous "cutting of marble."
From then on, this sword became the symbol of absolute sharpness. There was nothing it couldn't cut, nothing it couldn't cleave, nothing it couldn't shred, and then, with a simple stroke, split in two.
This sword was that terrifying. It was wrapped in dense divine power. It could easily cut through anything, even the carcass of Mechael.
It was that terrifying, that kind of utterly unreasonable attack. So, this time, could it still be blocked?
The moment she raised the holy sword, Liliana controlled her aura, unhesitatingly bypassing the others and pressing towards Jiu Fafeng Qianyan.
Whether it was high-level knights or swordsmen, the so-called aura or domain were similar things. However, compared to the aura that these Elite Knights gained by utilizing their Juinjutsu and legendary additions, the domain was more refined and also more terrifying, with an even higher threshold for entry.
However, even so, even if it was a weakened version of the domain, perhaps not even having a tenth of its power, the aura emanating from Liliana and her overwhelming control were still enough to stall Jiu Fafeng Qianyan's actions. Perhaps, if the opponent was Shaya Miyaji or Kanba Winter Horse, the aura might have been useless.
However, when facing Jiu Fafeng Qianyan, who was merely hyped up as a genius but was in fact extremely lacking in combat experience, there was absolutely no comparison to Liliana, who had already experienced countless battlefields from the beginning.
This time, sheets of snow-white talisman papers were fluttering everywhere.
On those snow-white, seemingly thin talisman papers, it was not vermilion ink that was used, but curse writing drawn with a child's fresh blood. This was perhaps Shaya Miyaji's most handy trick.
She didn't continue to help Jiu Fafeng Qianyan defend against this slash. Because, in the meeting room just now, she had fully appreciated Liliana and Kanba Winter Horse's heroic postures during their battle.
Even if she thought her own knowledge and experience were insufficient, Shaya Miyaji could still clearly sense what that holy sword represented. She was a witch, and could be considered a top-tier witch in the island nation. Naturally, she had the ability to see through all of this. Therefore, she did not act.
This kind of thing, she still understood easily.
So, she would just use a different method. Since she couldn't block it, then she would force him to defend and retract this sword.
One sheet of talisman paper after another, like arrows filling the sky, shot towards Liliana.
If speaking purely of power, even an ordinary car would be pierced by them, let alone Liliana, a beautiful girl.
However, Liliana didn't react in the slightest. She directly swung her long sword, slashing towards Jiu Fafeng Qianyan.
And what met the talisman paper was not a sharp sword, but something else. It was an intangible, or perhaps a faintly shimmering, magical power.
That was the most basic technique of utilizing magical power, called 'Magic Release', but at this moment, it was also sufficient to cope with this kind of attack. This strike was Jiu Fafeng Qianyan's final effort, so he didn't hold back any power. Regardless of the firmness of the talisman paper or the power it carried, it was far from Jiu Fafeng Qianyan's limits.
However, with that, it was surely blocked by the layers of magic power released outwardly.
That was wind, a swirling gale, carrying magical power, capable of blowing away any attack. It swept through this grand hall without any delay.
Regardless of whether it was sharp talisman paper or anything else, all of it was easily blown away.
Naturally, Liliana's slash also landed squarely on Jiu Fafeng Qianyan's outstretched arm. Immediately, blood splattered.
"You, how dare you!"
Accompanying Jiu Fafeng Qianyan's scream was Shaya Miyaji's roar.
How long had it been since something like this happened to him? His subordinate, right before his eyes, was severed at the arm despite his personal protection. This kind of great humiliation was truly unbearable.
Even if Shaya Miyaji was as smart and calculating as could be, no matter how much he concealed his emotions, he could not tolerate this humiliation.
"Accept the rule of the King of Kings, Gilman, otherwise I will make the entire 'Official History Compilation Committee' your enemy!"
Liliana lightly flicked the extremely sharp holy sword in her hand, fiercely flicking a drop of blood away.
In her words, there wasn't a trace of mercy or hesitation.
That's right. This is what Liliana thought.
If she could save the people of the whole island nation, even if it meant slaughtering the entire Official History Compilation Committee, it would be worth it, wouldn't it?
Indeed, weighing lives by quantity is meaningful, but this bunch of guys, for the sake of their own power, placed the lives of hundreds of millions of people in mortal danger, which is even more unforgivable.
Therefore, this silver-haired girl must make a true judgment on this matter. Stubbornness or inflexibility, or perhaps even misguided justice, it's all part of her nature.
Regardless, this was her essence. All she wanted was to save one more person, even just one. That was all.
It carried not a trace of self-interest, not even a sense of self-satisfaction. Because that was justice, as instinctual as instinct itself, absolutely terrifying.
On the other side.
Yonchome, Ginza, was also the most prosperous area in Tokyo.
On the towering buildings there, on a rooftop where no one was present, a blond man was looking down at the scenery.
In his arms, was a graceful young woman. Her slender fingers lightly flickered. What was named 'divine power', the most terrifying power in this world, was spraying over her cheeks.
A screen woven from divine power was currently displaying before the two of them. And within it, the incomparably clear image of that beautiful and heroic female knight named Liliana was being displayed.
"My body feels⌠this kind of demeanor, not at all like a little girl?"
It was a graceful voice, but it was matched with an ancient rhythm. It sounded unexpectedly charming.
"It must be something you did, Gilman? What?"
These words came from the mouth of this young woman.
She casually twisted her small body in Gilman's arms. Gilman inadvertently felt that soft touch, which was truly captivating.
That man, with a hint of arrogance in his voice, said calmly.
"Of course, it's because this king told her about your existence. As this king's subordinate, you must be tempered from time to time."
