I'm not just human!

In the sky.

The Guardian Lord, covered in blood and panting heavily, held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, gazing at the mountains tens of thousands of kilometers away.

At that moment, He saw with His own eyes a bronze armored cavalryman, as large as a mountain range, riding a bronze chainmail warhorse that was equally comparable to a mountain, slowly approaching the Arcane City.

This bronze-armored cavalryman carried only the simplest lances, which were also made of bronze. Although he was walking slowly, his warhorse could immediately travel thousands of kilometers with each step.

Its gaze, hidden beneath the bronze helmet, revealed no emotion, as if it were carrying out an utterly ordinary task.

And the way they looked at the powerful superhumans like the Guardian Lord was as if they were looking at ants.

A terrifying pressure spread out, and the indescribable fear made the demigods and angels under the Lord of Guardians turn pale with fright, yet they couldn't muster the slightest thought of escaping.

It was like a weak fawn encountering a powerful lion king, only able to lie on the ground trembling, its legs weak, completely powerless to resist or escape.

"An aura comparable to Lord Kong Su..."

Kong Su was the god whom the Lord of Guardians once followed.

Having followed Kong Su for many years, the Guardian Lord would never mistake this divine status and aura.

For this reason, a deep fear welled up in His heart.

What exactly are these massive bronze armored cavalrymen, as huge as mountains and rivers?

Why is it that it possesses the personhood and aura of God, yet the feeling it evokes is completely different from that of a true God?

And why did it come here? How could it appear directly in this place where time stands still without going through the Time Breathing Tract?

With a soft "pop," the Star Spirit Rift inexplicably opened, and two young figures stumbled out, appearing beside the Guardian Lord.

It was Xiafa and Tefaro.

As soon as they noticed the bronze-armored cavalryman's inexplicable appearance in this place where time had stopped and the Rainbow Bridge of the Guardian Lord had shattered, Xia Fa and Te Faro instinctively realized that this place where time had stopped had been "sealed".

In other words, their breathing tubes were temporarily blocked by the bronze-armored cavalry in some inexplicable way, preventing them from leaving even if they wanted to.

Moreover, if we keep trying to escape, we might just get killed by the bronze-armored cavalry with a single spear thrust. Since we can't get out anyway, we might as well discuss a plan with the Guardian Lord.

"You... why are you here? Didn't I tell you to run away?"

Upon seeing the appearance of Tefaro and Shafa, the Lord of Guardians, though his helmet was as tough as iron, revealed a rare hint of anger in his eyes.

It wasn't anger, but rather annoyance at the genuine concern for the two of them. In any case, the Guardian Lord didn't want to truly implicate their lives, especially after the appearance of these incredibly strange and powerful bronze armored cavalry.

Xia Fa smiled helplessly:

"It's no use talking about this now. Let's think about how to save our lives. By the way, can we go back to Michi City right away?"

The Lord of Guardians knew this was not the time for idle talk, and decisively said:

“Alright, let’s go back first. Although this bronze armored cavalry has the strength of a god, the ritual defense master left by Lord Kong Su can also reach the defense level of a god if I activate it with all my might. Not to mention, we have the two of you here now.”

As He spoke, another rainbow bridge extended from beneath His feet, crossing the sky above Arcane City and leading directly towards the City of Mystery.

The Lord of Guardians looked at Shafa and Tefaro, signaling them to go first, while He would stay behind to cover their retreat.

Just then, the bronze-armored cavalryman seemed to sense something and suddenly looked over.

Immediately, it casually swung a gun.

The Rainbow Bridge shattered instantly, and at the same time, yellow sand filled the area around Shafa and Tefaro, as well as around the Guardian Lord's trusted subordinates.

The next moment, the yellow sand also dissipated. Xia Fa was hit hard. Even though he entered the Starry Silver Throne state immediately, he was still sent flying backward, spitting out blood.

He looked down and saw that his chest... had been cut with an extremely deep wound from left to right, deep enough to expose the bone, and the rolled-up skin and muscle on both sides had a metallic sheen.

If he hadn't entered the Starry Silver Throne state in time, and if the Lord of Guardians hadn't reacted so quickly and used the Guardian Castle to block a large portion of the damage for him... Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine.

This is the first time he has suffered such a serious injury since becoming a superhuman!

Tefal was also in a bad state, but fortunately, the broken, mysterious treasure-level scimitar he had just obtained automatically protected him, and together with the castle, it helped him withstand most of the damage.

Otherwise, He would probably have perished here as well.

Xiafa and Tefaro were nearly killed by the bronze-armored cavalryman with a single spear thrust, and the Guardian Lord's trusted subordinates were even less likely to escape.

All the rulers, angels, and demigods stood there dumbfounded. Then, a long, narrow bloodstain appeared across their bodies, and their upper halves slid down as if they had been severed.

Even though there were rulers and angels among them, and physical injuries alone would not have been enough to cause their demise, Xia Fa clearly saw that the flesh turned dark red the moment their upper bodies fell, a sign that they had completely lost their life force.

This bronze-armored cavalryman's casual spear thrust... was actually able to destroy both the physical body and soul of a being of the Overlord rank!

"go!"

The Lord of Guardians shouted, and a rainbow bridge extended from beneath his feet once more. In a flash, he scooped up Shafa and Tefaro in his arms and stepped onto the bridge.

Seeing that three men had survived his first spear strike, the bronze-armored cavalryman looked surprised and swung his spear again.

when!

With a loud bang, accompanied by the release of countless golden auras, a golden bell comparable to a bronze bell appeared above the head of the Guardian Lord.

Swish!

At the same time, an extremely sharp blade of light, carrying the pressure and aura of an outer god, intertwined into a dense net of blades behind the Guardian Lord.

These fine blade nets trembled slightly before shattering, clearly having blocked the invisible attack of the bronze-armored cavalry.

This is from the mysterious treasure [Golden Bell], and the incomplete, mysterious treasure-level scimitar [Sen Yama] that Tefaro just obtained.

Just now, the moment the Guardian Lord picked up Xiafa and Tefaro, the two of them had a sudden inspiration and handed over their most powerful secret treasures to the Guardian Lord.

The Guardian immediately activated his power, barely managing to block another spear thrust from the bronze-armored cavalryman and using it to stabilize the rainbow bridge beneath his feet.

At this moment, the Guardian Lord finally stood on the Rainbow Bridge, holding Shafa and Tefaro in his arms. The three figures became blurred, and it seemed they were about to be teleported back to Mych City.

The bronze-armored cavalryman seemed to finally take these three beings, who were like "ants" to him, seriously. With a single step, his bronze-armored warhorse carried him directly to the top of Arcane City.

However, at this very moment, the Guardian Lord's teleportation was completed.

Just as he was about to return completely, Xia Fa turned his head and glanced at the bronze-armored cavalryman.

Only he knew that this being was called the "Bronze Cleaner".

But that one glance left a deep doubt in his heart.

Because, seeing that he could not catch up with the three, the bronze-armored cavalryman, after briefly determining the direction, spurred his horse forward towards the location of the city of Mychi.

It... ignored the countless mages of Arcane City.

In that instant, an overwhelming cloud of doubt, so thick it seemed impossible to dissipate, rose uncontrollably from Xia Fa's chest.

The Bronze Cleaners...why did they spare the mages?

Does it only hunt down superhumans?

The Cleaners...only clean up all the extraordinary beings in the universe?!

Secret City.

The Lord's Residence.

With a loud crash, the pavilion in the mansion garden was smashed to pieces, and the Guardian Lord, with Xia Fa and Te Faro in each arm, fell into the ruins of the pavilion.

Above the three, the rainbow bridge, already riddled with cracks, crumbled into glimmers of light amidst a silent lament.

The Guardian first carefully placed Xiafa and Tefaro on a stone slab before struggling to his feet and removing his iron-bucket-like helmet.

His face was flushed and his expression was terrible. He seemed to have finally given up and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pfft".

A rich, extraordinary power emanated from the blood. The flowers and plants in the garden that were stained with the blood spat out by this extraordinary lord either withered immediately or began to mutate instantly, on the verge of becoming extraordinary plants.

One of the blades of grass even sprouted two small leaves on the left and right, swaying like arms, as if it had already developed wisdom.

The Lord of Guardians had no time to look at the flowers and plants. He suddenly clenched his fist, and as his face turned deathly pale, his calloused hand opened again to reveal a candy with its wrapper unwrapped.

As soon as the candy was secreted, it immediately emitted an extremely powerful life force, accompanied by boundless vitality.

【Healing Candy】is a type of secretion that only signer in the fairy tale world can secrete. It is a fusion of secret abilities developed by combining 【SOS Candy】 with advanced secret abilities such as 【Medical Expert】 and 【Healing Hand】.

The effect is very simple: it can completely heal anyone whose rank is lower than or equal to that of a signatory to the fairy tale world, no matter how severe the injury.

Because those extraordinary individuals who have signed the dominant-level contract of "Fairy Tale World" often also sign advanced contracts such as "Medical Expert" and "Healing Hand," this ability to combine contracts is considered one of the characteristics of those who have signed contracts with Fairy Tale World.

At this moment, the Lord of Guardians was panting heavily, barely maintaining the nearly depleted extraordinary power within him—both blocking the two attacks from the bronze-armored cavalry and secreting this healing candy had greatly depleted his energy.

Especially the two attacks by the bronze-armored cavalry, who were unknown beings even more powerful than ordinary gods, and the Guardian Lord was only a transcendent monarch, one can imagine how difficult it was.

After glancing over the nearly unconscious Shafa and Tefaro, the Guardian Lord still chose to help Shafa up, preparing to feed him the healing candy that He secretes only once every three years.

Over the past few thousand years, almost all of the healing candies He secreted have been used to help His minions, so not a single one is left.

But just then, Xia Fa barely opened his eyes and said weakly:

"No, no need. I... I have one. You should give it to Tefaro."

At this moment, due to his severe injuries, he was no longer able to maintain the Starry Silver Throne form. A deep wound ran across his chest, revealing the bone, and one could even faintly see his beating heart.

Even before he could continue his journey back from the Rainbow Bridge, Xia Fa had already collapsed and fallen into a coma.

After all, it was an attack from a Bronze Cleanser of the Divine rank, and although it was just a casual strike, it almost cost him his life.

Fortunately, his vitality was strong enough, and he has now barely recovered some strength.

With the support of the Guardian, Shafa flipped his hand and managed to retrieve the "healing candy" that Dick had given him before he set sail back in Rum City.

Xia Fa originally thought he would hardly need this life-saving device, but unexpectedly, he has used it now.

However, on second thought, it would be really difficult to use it if it weren't for encountering a Bronze Cleanser or a powerful being of similar rank.

The moment this healing candy appeared, its vitality, several times more concentrated and vigorous than that of the Guardian's candy, suddenly spread out.

The vitality was so abundant that even the withered flowers and plants around it immediately sprouted new buds.

The Guardian's pupils contracted, and he asked in surprise:

"This...this must be a healing candy secreted by a secret emperor who has signed a contract with a fairy tale world. Young man, you have quite a powerful background."

Xia Fa smiled weakly, because he no longer had the strength to say anything. Seeing this, the Guardian quickly took the candy from Xia Fa's hand and put it into his mouth.

The moment the therapeutic candy entered Xia Fa's mouth, it immediately transformed into a cool sensation, carrying a strong disinfectant smell, which spread throughout Xia Fa's entire body.

The horrific, deep wound on his chest, which exposed bone, began to heal immediately.
