Erii: A Journey Through the Heavens Begins with Frilian

Chapter 67 Conflict and Melee

Before Erii could answer, Kagami made a decisive move.

She raised her long leg high and kicked to the side, completely unconcerned that her entire buttocks were exposed to countless eyes. Her fierce whip kick was like an arrow piercing the air.

Erii neither dodged nor flinched, but instead raised her hand and slapped the leg of the Lightbringer who was attacking her.

Bang!

Thump thump thump thump~

The next second, the Lightbringer flew out like a tattered burlap sack, tumbling over a dozen times on the ground before crashing heavily into the metal wall.

She grunted twice, and a pig-like scream burst from the back of her throat, but soon, the excruciating pain from her shattered bones overwhelmed her adrenaline, and the unparalleled pain rendered her unable to scream.

"Ugh—uhhh—"

Erii's touch twisted her right leg into a spiral shape, like a pretzel, with broken bones piercing through the flesh and strands of fascia twitching rhythmically.

His left leg and both arms hung limply to the ground. His abdomen was sunken, revealing that at least two-thirds of his ribs were broken. His neck was stiff and tilted to one side, and his spine appeared to be deformed.

Her clothes were ripped apart, and blood flowed out, staining her snow-white skin in a shocking way. Although her spring was exposed, no one present was in the mood to appreciate it. They were all dumbfounded and their minds went blank.

The mask of the Lightbringer also exploded upon impact, revealing a delicate and pretty face that was extremely contrasting with her figure. Of course, her features were tightly furrowed at this moment, and several teeth fell out mixed with blood when she opened her lips.

If it weren't for the fact that his chest was still heaving and he was still groaning, anyone who saw him would have thought he was a corpse.

Erii looked at her hand, then at the Lightbringer, wondering why she was half-dead when she hadn't exerted much force. Was she trying to scam someone?

Could it be that, given the sci-fi apocalyptic setting filled with monsters, the higher-ups at the Lighthouse didn't get themselves some kind of genetic modification or physical enhancements?

So, is the Lightbearer just an arrogant and domineering ordinary human?

Gradually, a large patch of blood spread beneath her. Only then did the deacons of the law institute come to their senses and scramble to check on the Lightbearer's condition.

Someone took out an injection that resembled a special drug and injected it all into her body.

The others surrounded Erii menacingly, shouting, "How dare you attack Lady He Guangzhe! You have some nerve!"

Things like that.

"Apologize," Erii said calmly. "You wronged them. Apologize to them."

The deacon, the commoners, Mo Cheng, and even the three children were stunned. They had never expected that Erii's first words after such an astonishing event would be to seek justice for 9033.

"She challenged me to a duel and attacked me first. I acted in self-defense and didn't break the law, right?" Erii turned around and earnestly consulted Mo Cheng.

"According to the Lighthouse Law, there is indeed no problem. After all, the city lord said that the status of special residents is the same as that of the upper class," Mo Cheng replied.

The implication is that it's unacceptable for commoners to do this, even if it's the superiors who are wrong, they cannot take action.

"Eloquent tongue! Capture her first and hand her over to the guild leader!" The leading deacon pulled out his stun gun and led the group towards Erii.

Meanwhile, cleric Darion, clad in heavy armor and wielding an electric cannon, led more than twenty members of the cleric's office into the spacious indoor area. Upon seeing the disheveled and dying Lightbringers, he let out a furious, beast-like roar: "Light gives birth to all beings, and all beings follow in its shadow!"

Instantly, all the deacons rushed out, shouting devoutly.

"Damn it! Do you really think the Hunters are all gone?" Mo Cheng cursed, and without saying another word, he swept past Erii and went to meet her.

Erii opened her small mouth, forming an O shape.

Because behind Mo Cheng were Jeff, Fei Xue, Erica, Ran Bing, Donnie, Penny, and Xue Feng, who belonged to the Hunters.

Haji and a dozen others followed closely, pulling out sticks and attacking the law firm.

In an instant, a one-sided brawl broke out.

Compared to the strong and experienced hunters, the deacons of the Law Institute appeared petite and delicate. Not to mention those top-notch close combat fighters like Fei Xue and Mo Cheng, even the legal loli Erica could jump up and kick them away.

What's more, there's Xuefeng and his group of veteran soldiers who followed Sister Mark, and they're all ruthless when they start.

Back then, former captain Hongkou and former vice-captain Poxiao were burned at the stake, and they were filled with resentment. Now, they were settling old scores with new ones, and apart from not actually killing each other, they were beating each other to death.

Before long, the law firm was wailing and crying, and everyone was trying to avoid them.

Zizi!

One of the deacons, driven to despair by the beating, brazenly picked up the electromagnetic pulse gun that the Lightbringer had dropped on the ground and fired it.

The ball of electric energy grazed Erica's cheek and struck the wall, burning a black crater into the metal. Had Erica not sensed it and ducked in time, her head would probably have exploded like a watermelon.

"court death!"

The closest one, Zaibing, gritted his teeth and flew into the face of the butler with immense rage, causing the latter to faint on the spot.

"Ran Bing, watch out!" Erica exclaimed.

Even without her reminder, Zai Bing already felt a wave of heat coming from behind and enveloping her back.

The one who made the move was Darion, a core member of the Light and Shadow Society, a loyal follower of the Lightbringers, and one of the two great priests.

He activated the enormous and thick electric scepter, its tip surging with terrifying electrical energy!

Darion shouted "Purge the rebellion!" while mercilessly smashing Zaibing's head, clearly intending to kill her.

bang——

The scepter suddenly fell to the ground.

Amidst a red hurricane, Ran Bing vaguely saw Erii kick out, and then Darien was sent flying backward, his alloy armor shattering and disintegrating in mid-air.

With a loud thud, he crashed straight through the outer railing of the lighthouse and fell from the platform into the sky with a scream.

Unfortunately, it fell through the nozzle of an engine.

puff~

Amidst countless horrified stares from below, Darion was engulfed by the continuously erupting, intense flames and turned to ashes.

The air, thick with the stench of blood, carried an added hint of death.

The chaotic situation abruptly stopped, and everyone stared at Erii in disbelief, as if they had seen a emaciated Dustman knock away a Devouring Beast.

"How is this possible?"

"Is that kind of power still human?"

Are all the survivors on the surface monsters?

Hearing the barely suppressed whispers of the upper class, Erii honestly said, "I didn't use any force; he was too gentle."

If it were the same force she used when sparring with Shutark, both the Lightbringer and Darion would have been instantly reduced to a bloody mist. Don't be fooled by her small, white claws; they're no different from being slapped by a giant dragon.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Seng's loud roar echoed throughout the area.

Whoosh~

The city defense troops quickly spread out, several of them driving luxurious heavy vehicles, all pointing their guns at the Hunters and the Light and Shadow Society, in a show of force.

"What do you take a lighthouse for? You're all just fooling around!" Sengge appeared, his face contorted with rage as he rebuked him.

Mark, Jingnan, and Charles followed behind in astonishment, looking around incredulously.

They had just been discussing with Lord Morgan whether to go down and loot some supplies, and had just finalized the plan to act first thing tomorrow morning, when unexpected internal turmoil broke out.

They rushed over without stopping, just in time to witness the shocking scene of Erii kicking Darien away.
