Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 270 Beheading
Its daybreak.

The black knight floated in mid-air, with orange-gold wings appearing behind him.

This scene was like a floating archangel, slowly descending with its back to the sun, judging the wicked and redeeming the mortals.
"SOL (Sacred Sun)"

When this miraculous scene occurs underground, it seems even more like a divine miracle.

As the "Words of the Sun" were chanted, Rean transformed into a blazing orange-red sun, but this time, the power had easily increased four or five times.

This was Rean's first time using a two-character dragon spell, a completely unknown experience, and he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

"SKERVA (Blade of Destruction)!"

When two "dragon words" come together to form a "vocabulary", the meaning they contain is completely different.

The model of the "sword" is the foundation, and this time, what is being poured into it is not only magic, but also the "sun".

Finally, a "sun" appeared above Rean's head, a sword-shaped sun radiating holiness and heat.

This sacred "dragon's words" were used to forge a sacred weapon.

"Moo!"

The moment the holy sword of the sun appeared, its radiance began to "dispel evil."

The Uldar Bull Demon, filled with the aura of purgatory, was naturally restrained by the power of light, and thus howled in pain under this exorcising holy light.

"SOL SKERVA (Holy Blazing Sun Sword)!"

Without hesitation, Rean brought his hands down abruptly, which had been clenched in a loose fist.

And in the void where his arms were wrapped around him, the sword of the sun slammed down fiercely!
"Moo moo!"

The screaming beast had nowhere to retreat, and its almost inexhaustible radiant power erupted the moment it landed.

And this attack still carries the indestructible "Wallbreaker"!

"Liberation. Purification. Gratitude"

It was dawn all over the underground.

The light and heat overflowed infinitely, forcing not only the two sides in the battle, but also warriors like Claire to retreat.

The earth began to scorch, large swathes of vines turned to ashes, and the green evil fire was directly dispelled.

As the light began to fade, what echoed in the air was no longer the mooing of a cow filled with negative emotions, but the last words of the "World Tree Sapling".

"Finally, I'm free."

The light went out, and the giant beast finally stopped.

Steam and shattered rubble were everywhere. When the smoke cleared, the enormous monster had turned into a giant corpse slumped on the ground.

The once invincible Ulda Bull Demon lost his head, with a large hole running from his skull to his chest cavity, and most of his flesh was burned and charred.

That sword of judgment struck the core of the Bull Demon King fiercely.

The "angel" slowly descended, seemingly sacred and inviolable, but he had already become a blood-soaked figure.

A single-character "Dragon's Word" is roughly equivalent to the basic magic output of a second or third-tier spell; Rean estimates that a two-character spell would be around fourth or fifth tier.
"At least a sixth-order or higher major spell."

The fact that he didn't die on the spot was because Rean realized he couldn't control it and activated the spell prematurely, causing it to erupt in an incomplete form.

"Are you alright?" Hela caught Rean as he fell, not minding the bloodstains on her hands.

"I need to take a break."

At this moment, Rean himself was in a really bad state. The eagle's wings floated on the "dragon wings," and the power of the snake, the dragon, and even the eagle was activated, just to support this exhaustion.

That scene, resembling an angel descending to earth, was merely the result of the bloodline being fully activated by the will to survive, forcing out the eagle's ability to transform into a feather.

However, looking at the enormous headless corpse, Rean still nodded in satisfaction.

"Find someone to take me with you, you guys keep chasing, I'm going to sleep for a while." After saying that, Rean fell into a coma.

After confirming that his breathing was still stable, Hela and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at the charred corpse, their expressions still containing complex emotions.

Even if the monster could be killed in one strike—the mushroom-man draining its life force being the primary cause—the explosive attack that destroyed its body still far exceeded conventional expectations. "Is such sacred power an evolved form of the Evil-Slaying Slash?"

"I feel like I'm being melted by the sun. Fortunately, I'm not a dark, infernal creature, and I'm not targeted by this power."

"What kind of power is this? It far surpasses his professional abilities and bloodline."

"Not necessarily. He's a degenerate. I heard he used to be a Grand Paladin. This is probably his trump card that he kept."

"It seems he's going all out to save people. He can probably win if he keeps going, it just might take another half hour."

Radiance plus a sword, isn't that just the Evil-Slaying Slash? Or the top-tier upgraded version.

From this moment on, having wielded such an outrageous "Sword of Light" in full view of everyone, Rean has officially debuted as the "Great Holy Knight".

Hela pulled out a vest from somewhere, tore it into strips, and carefully wiped Rean, who was covered in blood, clean. Larry tried to come over to help, but was glared at by her.

The makeshift team didn't spend much time there, leaving the Mushroom Man community to handle the battlefield before continuing to track down the cultists.

Rean didn't sleep for long; having had his dragon and beast bloodlines activated, his recovery ability was quite astonishing.
How long did I sleep?

Rean wasn't particularly surprised to wake up on Hela's back.

These few great warriors are probably the only ones capable of carrying Rean now.

The Radiant Guardians are all valuable combatants, but only Hela is a free agent who can fight and run.

"20 minutes." Even when responding to Rean's question, his breathing remained quite steady.

"Have we encountered the enemy?"

"No."

This is really bad news.

It's impossible to catch up with the enemy in such a short time, but if we haven't encountered the enemy in this environment, it's likely that the area has been thoroughly controlled by the enemy.

Chasing after an opponent and storming into their lair, which they've been preparing for for years, are two completely different things.

"Put me down, I can walk almost now."

Rean's "weight" is quite astonishing; Hela is already drenched in sweat, and this state is not suitable for encountering enemies.

Rean was unaware that while Dania outside was numb, the atmosphere among the nobles and commoners around her was quite intense.

After all, the fact that such a powerful monster was dealt with so quickly naturally boosted morale.

Ordinary people don't need to understand professional knowledge such as "World Tree" or "Paladin's counter to Infernal Creatures". They only know that their side has won again and the hostages will probably be rescued soon, so they will naturally be happy.

Especially now, after the attack and kidnapping, the city needs a victory to reunite its people.

For many viewers, what they are more concerned about is the symbol of the city in the Mirror Demon, the "invincible" Radiant Guardians. Their victory is naturally regarded as the victory of the entire city.

Rean himself probably appeared in the public eye for the first time and left a very deep impression.

After all, paladins are natural "social butterflies," and most people will initially trust them to a great extent. So, when they act and fight alongside the Radiant Guardians, they naturally place them on their side.

It can be said that Rean has unknowingly gained the upper hand in the selection of heroes.

Let alone the "power of dragons," Radiant City, currently in dire straits, is also craving the "power of mushroom people" and the "power of dark elves."

"Is this Sudar? I never expected this generation of Sudar to be so powerful. Rean Sudar, what a strong dragon."

Sallyman, standing next to Dania, also received a lot of attention.

No one would care about a third-tier warrior or knight, but a high-tier paladin who has just unleashed a "great divine spell" cannot be ignored.

The members of this hunting team came from a "class reunion," but in the eyes of most nobles and warlords, they were the so-called "royal faction."

Every victory, every advance, actually increases the prestige of Dania, the "decision-maker/commander".

It can be said that the selection of heroes is an opportunity for the princess or even the royal family to rise to power, but it has also staked Dania's "political life".

"Please come back safely," but Dania glanced at Sallyman behind her, who was looking anxious, and made the same pathetic wish.
