I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 119 The Sword of Storms

now,

Vasak coldly stared at Suya, who was swallowing the charcoal-like piece of wood on the roof, silently strengthening the body that had just been mended.

At this moment, he did not descend directly in the form of a huge and ferocious demon god, but rather, like an invisible poison, silently eroded, parasitized, and distorted those vessels that carried sacred ideals and power—the paladins.

This is also the origin of the Chimera Legion in the capital. All the paladins who joined the church for power, status, and wealth accepted its gifts and existed as a part of it.

In other words, every paladin in the royal capital is it.

However, only the knights who truly believe in the Tower of Gods and in Solomon possess the spiritual foundation to bring its consciousness down and to manifest a portion of its power over a long distance.

Vasak did not act rashly.

The key to the outcome of this battle was not between the paladin and Suya, but rather the Baring knight who was now behind Suya, wielding the holy sword.

He could 'foresee the future', and among the several possibilities he could see, he saw three possibilities: killing Suya, fighting Suya, and letting Suya go. The outcome of all three possibilities was a burden that his life could not bear.

He even sensed that if he continued to peer into fate and learn more secrets, he would be executed immediately.

Therefore, his goal instantly became—to stop the Knights of Baling from unleashing the Holy Sword.

In other words, after eliminating incorrect answers, under a unified will,

This battle became a war of offense and defense.

He led 100 paladins to charge at Sua's defenses, while this body, capable of killing Sua, stood there, summoning a Noble Phantasm that pierced through and severely wounded Sua, also striking the holy sword in the hands of the Baring Knight.

This will prevent the two from entering Winchester Cathedral tonight.

Suya was on the defensive, and so was Vasak; the only difference lay in the choices they made within those three minutes.

then,

Vasak stood on the street. Without saying a word, the 100 paladins behind him immediately scattered like a swarm of bees, running on the street or leaping onto the rooftops, speeding across the red-tiled eaves, all rushing towards the Baring knights behind Sua.

Meanwhile, the square-faced knight, representing Vasak's will to descend, slowly raised his palm, activated his spirit origin, and used divine magic to summon a Noble Phantasm that was actively projected from Vasak's main body.

He stared coldly at Suya and began to chant:
Your glory is my bait.
Your suffering is my nectar!
Entangle, remnants of false vows,
Reveal yourself, defiled holy remains!

Using the shattered ideals of fools as fuel.
Use the hatred shed by a venomous snake as your blade!
liberation--

"The Filthy Oath, the Lingering Regret of a Serpent's Shedding Skin!"

As the Noble Phantasm release incantation was uttered, a holy light appeared in Vasak's hand, which quickly transformed into a 2-meter-long, 7-centimeter-diameter Pilum heavy javelin.

On the shaft of this Roman javelin, however, was a piece of snake skin that shone with a filthy, purplish-black luster.

Noble will was destroyed, sacred radiance was tarnished.
This ignites the indomitable will residing within the sacred spear, causing the Noble Phantasm to unleash a penetrating force beyond human imagination.

Vasak gripped the tainted holy relic spear, his eyes fixed on Suya's movements, along with the Baring Knights behind him, ready to unleash this B-rank Noble Phantasm at any moment.

at the same time,

Suya, who had just swallowed a shard of the round table, felt a sudden heat in her body.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and fullness surged to the top of my head in an instant.
What followed was a surge of power that instantly spread throughout the body!

A subtitle then appeared before my eyes.
[Magic overload, physical strength temporarily increased to: D.]

And at this moment,
Suddenly, the rustling sound of armor moving rapidly rang in my ears, followed by four flashes of cold light leaping high into the air—

Four massive swords, each as wide as a door panel, came crashing down from the front, back, left, and right!
Upon seeing this, Suya's pupils suddenly contracted. He slightly arched his back, pressed his toes together, and then bent his head and bent his waist. With a swift movement, he propelled his body into a rapid, explosive spin, drawing his longsword from his waist during the rotation.
bass!
A sword light, as bright as a full moon, shone forth.
The four paladins who had launched the surprise attack were instantly struck in the side by such a sword, the terrifying force cutting straight through their chainmail and leaving four streaks of blood!
In the next instant, a force like that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex swept out!

"Uhhhhhh!!"

The four men clutched their lacerated sides and screamed as they fell from the roof, crashing heavily to the ground three meters away.

Suya suddenly raised her head.

Then I saw,
At that moment, a torrent of steel rushed from the street toward the Baling Knight standing on the rooftop to his side and behind!

And in front of me,
More than ten paladins leaped onto the roof, dressed in heavy red and white armor and wielding broadswords resembling door panels, and attacked him all at once, trying to confine him to the spot!

Behind the steel torrent formed by dozens of heavily armored knights, Vasak, wielding a spear wreathed in purplish-black flames, stared intently at him like a venomous snake.

Just for a moment,

Suya then understood the current situation.

He had to hold off a full 100 paladins and prevent Vasak from firing that rather sinister-looking javelin, thus interrupting Baling's process of releasing the holy sword.

And it is quite obvious,

To achieve this, Suya first needs an AOE ability that allows her to take on multiple opponents at once, like mowing down enemies with unparalleled skill.

Of all the abilities he possesses, only the Wind King Barrier has multiple capabilities, but at this moment, the Wind King Barrier, which is merely a D-level magic, is far from sufficient.

One thought comes to this,
Suya immediately pulled out her own Mystic Code, a D-rank False Magic Card, from her pouch.

The Noble Phantasm is activated by calling out the True Name and infusing it with magical energy. Apart from calling out the True Name, this method of use is the same as that of a Mystic Code with limited functions, so the Noble Phantasm can also be considered a Mystic Code.

In other words, the Mystic Code can also be seen as a degraded version of the Noble Phantasm.

then,

Suya raised his palm, and instantly a jet-black, illusory flame rose from his palm.
This is precisely the ability possessed by the Baring Knights, known as the "Hand of the Knight Who Steals from the Gods."

This ability grants Baring the ability to disregard all conditions, prioritizing skills even more than "Knights Don't Die Barehanded," and to draw out artifacts that belong to others, even divine treasures—a bug-level ability.

Other than that,

It can also destroy this miracle instantly at the cost of its own Noble Phantasm, generating pure and immense magical power.

They were too far apart; it was impossible for Suya to rush over and snatch the gun that looked like a Noble Phantasm from Vasak's hand in a short time.
To prevent the paladins below from approaching Baring, he had no choice but to sacrifice one of his D-rank Mystic Codes in exchange for one possibility—

now,

Suya held a sword in one hand and a deck of cards in the other.

Black flames rose from Sua's left hand, which held the card.
Then,

Suya clasped her hands together, gripped the hilt of the magic sword tightly, and twisted it suddenly. The dark magic power transformed from the burning costume frantically wrapped around the blade of the magic sword!
The next moment,
A sudden gust of wind whipped Suya's hair high into the air!

A five-meter-long giant sword of wind, wreathed in a storm that seemed to have a physical presence, appeared in his hand!
