Night World Players

Chapter 160: Rast: My wife's Night Blade is easy to use
At the end of the abyss, on the towering tower.

Noah was imprisoned in place by the red-gold chains transformed from the dim Styx, and was somewhat puzzled by the purpose of Last's last-ditch effort.

After devouring the remnant of the god of death, he inherited the control over the underworld and the power of the god of death's remaining body... This was Last's last trump card, and the only bargaining chip he had to compete with Noah.

However, Rast turned all his remaining capital into this chain to bind Noah.

Although it temporarily restrained Noah's movements, it did not have any killing effect.

And when Rast's vitality is annihilated by the power of abundance, this Styx cage that has lost its source of power will naturally dissipate and become useless.

Noah could sense that the silver-white runes that were slowly rotating in Rast's eyes at this moment should be some kind of ability, and he might have launched some kind of backup plan.

But what’s the point of this?
The weapon that emitted a radiance like the scorching sun and even caused his flesh and blood to be deformed due to the radiation must have been Cecil's last trump card... Even though Cecil was a legend, it must have consumed a lot of energy, and preparing just one weapon must have been his limit.

If Cecil really consumed too much of his own strength for Rast, the battlefield on the other side of the Broken Coast would be completely defeated. As the leader of the shore defenders, Cecil would not make such a stupid choice.

And apart from the weapons given by the legend...what kind of backup plan can allow a fourth or fifth-level extraordinary person to kill a legend?
However, next.

Noah saw that an exquisite and illusory silver key suddenly appeared silently in Rast's hand.

Silver-white metal particles leaped and gathered on the tiny key, constantly constructing a new mechanical structure.

Then, the key-like object pointed straight at Noah's figure.

The moment the silver key pointed at him, Noah felt that his voluptuous half seemed to be locked by some inexplicable aura.

Emerald green light surged, and the fertile field suddenly expanded, filling the entire underworld... Noah wanted to use his fertile field in this way to find the source of the lock.

But no matter how hard he tried, he ended up with nothing.

……

at the same time.

[Core Guidance Component - "Key of Heaven" has locked onto the target]

[Magic equipment for subspace cruising—identification codename: "Scabbard," successfully changed course.]

[Launch attitude adjustment completed]

[Zenith Sword, ammunition reload confirmed, self-test complete——]

[Spatial Auxiliary Positioning Rune - Second Verification Completed]

[Beginning to calculate the falling trajectory...]

Before Last's eyes, streams of azure data were rushing past.

This is the calculation rune built into the "Key of Heaven", which is providing real-time feedback to Last.

This was the weapon given to Rast by Professor Agatha, the dean of the Ashes Academy, Ophelia, the second princess, the half-sister of Hiltina, whom Rast had never met but had long heard of.

It is also the core boot component of "Taboo Index 0-13: Zenith Sword Prototype".

This is a mythical weapon with a legendary strongman as the imaginary enemy, and it is also the biggest trump card that Last brought into the night world this time.

Long before the start of the Holy Code, Last had already used the mechanical components compressed in the secondary dimension of the Key of Heaven to complete the basic construction and advance arrangement of the "Zenith Sword".

And at this moment.

Within the rotating calculation runes, the myriad complex streams of information converged into a single, correct conclusion—

【Orbit calculation completed.】

[Error calculation completed, track correction completed.] [Forbidden List Armament Self-Verification Passed.]

Then--

[Night Blade Original "Infinity Blade" equipped]

This is Hiltina's Night Blade, recognized by the Taboo Index Assessment Committee of the Arcana Tower as possessing the potential to threaten Legend even before Hiltina herself reaches Legend... a truly "taboo"-level Night Blade.

After breaking through the remnants of the disaster in Frozen Water Town and helping Hiltina resolve her obsession with Fran... the bond level between Last and Hiltina finally reached the fifth level.

At this moment, what Rast was about to use was the original text that was newly unlocked by the card "Chariot·Hiltina" after breaking through the fifth bond.

The reason why the Zenith Sword, a mechanical weapon, could be successfully brought into the night world by Last was precisely because the Ashes Academy of Starry University had developed a method to circumvent the rules of the night world and endowed the Zenith Sword, a mechanical weapon, with the additional attribute of "heraldic attire."

And since it possesses the characteristics of both "heraldry dress" and "sword".

Then, it can naturally be driven by Hiltina's "Infinite Sword" Night Blade.

then--

A thousandth of a second later.

"Real name, Liberation."

The boy's hoarse and broken syllables echoed throughout the abyss.

It is not the Aramaic language commonly used in the Sixth Age, but the language of the Age of Gods from the ancient times.

This language had long been lost in the Sixth Epoch, but as luck would have it… As one of the tomb keepers, Noah happened to be born in the First Epoch. Having personally experienced that glorious mythological era, he naturally understood the true meaning of this sentence.

That is what "divine punishment" means.

The divine punishment called "Zenith Sword".

"Divine punishment?"

He repeated the ancient word in a daze, not understanding why Rast knew the language of the Age of Gods.

Judging from the fluctuations that Noah had sensed using the Field of Fertility just now, Last should have used the fire inherited from the shore guardians and used the original text stored in it to replicate and use a certain Night Blade.

But what kind of Night Blade could enable Rast to turn defeat into victory at this moment?

This thought just flashed through Noah's mind.

He jerked his head up.

With his legendary intuition, Noah had a premonition that something was coming. Although he could not hear any sound, he could feel the scorching light.

He suddenly understood...why he clearly felt that he was being locked by something, but he had never noticed its origin even after searching the entire fertile land of the Netherworld.

Because from the beginning to the end, the thing that locked him did not come from within the abyss, but from outside the abyss, above the earth... at the end of the distant sky.

next moment.

The underworld is shattered.

The red Zenith Sword tore open the dome of the underworld and pierced through the entire dim sea.

It transformed into a hot and bright starlight, falling straight down towards Noah's head.
