A ray of light spread from Li Xuan and enveloped several people. Under the illumination of the light, layers of black shadows emerged, gradually approaching the people and preparing to launch an attack. Although the Jealous Witch was crazy, she was not a stupid person. While speaking, she had secretly made preparations to kill Li Xuan and the group of sinners who separated her and Subaru.
However, this was meaningless. If it was a strong man like Roswaal or Ram, the powerful attack of the Jealous Witch Satira would be fatal. Even the Sword Saint Reinhardt could not completely ignore it. But for Li Xuan, it was meaningless. One, ten, a hundred, thousands of shadows came one after another and attacked Li Xuan and others, but they were all defeated by this thin light and could not break through its defense at all.
Parker had prepared for defense, but seeing that the Jealous Witch Satira could not shake Li Xuan's defense no matter what she did, he felt relieved. It seemed that what Li Xuan and Emilia said was not false. He was indeed very powerful, beyond the power of this world. After all, even the Jealous Witch Satira could not touch his back, so even the sword master of this generation, the invincible existence Reinhardt might not be really invincible.
"Hateful, truly hateful."
The jealous witch Satira became even more angry when she saw that her attack was ineffective, but there was nothing she could do. She was still sealed and the strength she could exert was limited and could not threaten Li Xuan's safety.
For the Jealous Witch Satira, revenge is not the most important thing. The important thing is to bring Subaru back. Since she cannot defeat Li Xuan, she will retreat first and bring Subaru back first. As the source of her power as the Jealous Witch, the witch's power is not used for attack, but the source of Subaru's ability to return after death. No matter what enemy she faces, no matter how many times she reincarnates, she can come back and defeat the enemy. This is the truth of her invincibility. She is the ultimate upgraded version of the original Subaru. As long as the Jealous Witch Satira herself does not want to, she would not be defeated even four hundred years ago.
Sadly, today, Satira's undefeated legacy was about to be shattered. Facing Li Xuan was like Subaru facing the Sword Saint Reinhardt, but the gap was far greater. Therefore, even if Satira were to come back a billion times, her chances of winning against Li Xuan would still be zero. There was no chance at all. Furthermore, Li Xuan wouldn't even give her the chance to reincarnate. What a joke! He didn't have the time to play with her. Furthermore, while this time ability was interesting, it meant nothing to Li Xuan and could be easily destroyed.
"How is this possible? Why is my power ineffective? No, this is impossible."
The power she relied on most was sealed by Li Xuan. Satira's mouth was full of disbelief. No one had ever been able to seal the witch's power like Li Xuan, not even the sword saint Reinhardt, but Li Xuan did it.
"Nothing is impossible, Jealous Witch Satira, so you must be mentally prepared, ready to die."
Four hundred years ago, the first generation of sword masters, sages and dragons joined forces to defeat the jealous witch Shatira, whose witch factor ran wild and destroyed half of the world. However, due to the power of the cycle of death, they could not kill her completely and could only seal her. But for Li Xuan, her power of the cycle of death was easily sealed, so killing her was not a difficult task.
"So, Jealous Witch Satira, goodbye. No, I should say goodbye to you forever. Farewell to this world."
Li Xuan struck, piercing the seal created four hundred years ago by the First Sword Saint, the Sage, and the Dragon, killing the Jealous Witch Satira. Although Li Xuan did this quietly, the world's top experts still reacted.
“Who is it!!!??”
The dragon, several dying witches, the witch of deception Pandora who was the culprit of all the tragedies in the zero world, and the melancholy demon Hector, all noticed the breaking of the seal and the complete death of the witch of jealousy Satira.
They couldn't understand when such a strong person appeared in this world, who was able to completely kill the Witch of Jealousy, Satira. It was simply unbelievable. Even the current Sword Saint, the unprecedented strongest person, could not do this. Who exactly killed the Witch of Jealousy?
For this reason, they all sent their forces to the royal capital, where they sensed the Witch of Jealousy had appeared before, to be sure that the person who killed Satira must be among them.
However, for Li Xuan, these were just trivial matters, and they could help him save some time, so he no longer cared about them.
"Let's go to Firut. Satira the Gut Hunter is coming soon."
"Oh, okay, okay. Speaking of which, the Witch of Envy died just like that."
Parker still looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, stammering to express his amazement.
"How else could I possibly fight the Witch of Envy, Satira, for eight hundred rounds with my strength? If it weren't for a display of my strength to reassure you, the Witch of Envy would have died the moment she appeared, leaving her no chance to speak. To me, she's too insignificant. It's like killing a bug. Do you need to do anything to prepare for it?"
Li Xuan said indifferently that if it wasn't for the purpose of showing his strength, he would not have given the Jealous Witch Satira a chance to speak.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Parker, still in shock, followed Li Xuan to the next destination. Rem, on the other hand, had completely lost the ability to speak. She looked as if she was wondering where she was, who she was, what she was doing, and whether she was still dreaming. Li Xuan ignored them and headed towards the slums of the royal capital.
Chapter 308: The Blocked Intestine Hunter
"Is anyone home?"
In front of several simple houses made entirely of wooden boards, Li Xuan, three others and a cat were knocking on the door. This was the place where Firut and the giant Cromwell who adopted her lived. After Firut's father handed his daughter Firut to Cromwell, the two of them had been living in hiding in the slums of the royal capital, relying mainly on the shop that Cromwell managed where thieves hid and sold stolen goods as a source of livelihood. As Firut grew up, she also stole some things at the speed brought by her protection to maintain her life.
"Who are you looking for?"
The giant Cromwell opened the wooden door and couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw Li Xuan and his group. These people before him were not from the slums. They were obviously members of the nobility. Moreover, they were silver-haired half-elfs. Even though he lived in the slums of the royal capital, he knew about Emilia. The border Count Roswaal supported a silver-haired half-elf who looked somewhat similar to the Jealous Witch Satira as a Dragon Priestess to participate in this royal election. What business did they have coming to him so early in the morning? Could it be related to Firut? Knowing the bloodline of the previous king, he couldn't help but secretly be vigilant.
"Hello, we are not here to look for you this time. Instead, we have an enemy who wants to do something with you, so we came here in advance to block her, so we need to inform you in advance."
"Your enemies? Who are they? Who will come after us?"
At this time, Firut also appeared. She was eating breakfast and appeared after hearing Li Xuan's answer.
"You've probably heard of her name. She's from the Northern Kingdom, the killer known as Elsa the Gut Hunter. She was hired by the enemy to cause trouble for us, so we're trying to intercept her first, and we're saving one of you."
"You saved one of us. You're so arrogant! What does this have to do with me and Master Rom?"
Looking at Firut who was drinking milk, Li Xuan was a little speechless.
"It seems that you are well protected by your grandfather Rom. Do you think that after you participated in such a mission targeting the kingdom's national selection, Elsa would still let you leak information? You are too naive."
Firut was speechless because of Li Xuan's blockage. Even though she lived in the slums, she knew that the selection of the king was the most important thing in the entire Dragon Kingdom. If she got involved, it would be normal for her and Rom, a black marketeer and thief in the slums, to be killed to silence them. In the slums, small people like them were killed every day for participating in certain things, and they would naturally be no exception.
"Can't we just refuse that mission from Elsa?"
"You think this is a business? Killers like Elsa don't follow any rules. If you don't do it, they will kill you directly, or capture your uncle Rom and force you to do it, and then kill you to silence you."
Li Xuan was a little helpless about Firut's naivety and stubbornness. The Gut Hunter Elsa was a complete pervert and would never abide by any rules. If he refused her, he would die.
“If that’s the case, thank you for your kindness. Felt and I will be leaving first.”
Cromwell said with some caution. If he was still young, he would not be afraid of the Gut Hunter or not. As a powerful warrior of the Giant Clan, he would not be afraid. Otherwise, the former king of the Dragon Kingdom would not have given his daughter Firut to Cromwell for protection. But he is old now. As a warrior, his combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened when he gets older. It will be difficult for him to deal with the Gut Hunter Elsa.
Since someone has already dealt with the Gut Hunter Elsa, it would be better for him and Firut to stay out of this important matter concerning the king's election, especially Firut. Her identity must not be discovered. After all, the royal bloodline was suddenly wiped out, and there are too many things hidden behind this. He doesn't know what the specific problem is, but if Firut is exposed, it will be very dangerous.
"It's too late for you to leave now. Elsa is already here."
Li Xuan pointed at a figure a few dozen meters away and said lightly.
Cromwell wanted to take Firut away, but it was too late because the Gut Hunter Elsa had already arrived, and they could only wait quietly for the development of the situation.
"Interesting, really interesting. I didn't expect that the target of my mission this time would block me before my plan. This is really strange."
Her rare black hair falls to her waist and is tied up in a braid. She is a voluptuous beauty with crystal-clear fair skin, a slender figure, and a quiet face with droopy eyes.
Elsa doesn't give the impression of being a killer at all, but more like a socialite at an aristocratic banquet. Only the terrifying darkness lurking deep in her pupils reveals the perversion and distortion in Elsa's heart, distinguishing her from ordinary women.
"Can you tell me? How did my whereabouts get revealed? I really want to know."
"Gut Hunter Elsa, is your employer the Border Count Roswaal? Was he the one who asked you to deal with Emilia?"
Li Xuan didn't say anything, but Parker spoke up instead, wanting to confirm whether Roswaal had really betrayed their alliance and wanted to hurt Emilia.
"Oh, oh, it seems something went wrong with my employer. You discovered his movements. Assassins like us shouldn't reveal our employer's identity, but since you already know, there's nothing we can do. The person who hired me to deal with the silver-haired half-elf Emilia was indeed Roswaal, the Border Count of the Dragon Kingdom. Although I'm also very curious why Border Count Roswaal wanted to deal with the Chosen One he supported, was he bribed or betrayed by other Chosen Ones, or did some other problem arise, it doesn't matter. For me, whether it's the silver-haired half-elf who looks like the Jealous Witch Satira, the Chosen One Emilia of the Dragon Kingdom, or you, the Great Elf, I really want to experience the temperature of your flesh and blood and internal organs."
Elsa understood in her heart that it seemed that there was no traitor around her, but that something went wrong with her employer Roswaal, who was discovered by Emilia and others. They followed the clues and found her here. However, even if she was blocked by Emilia and her men, she was not afraid.
Instead, Elsa wanted to attack Emilia directly, to see what the bowels of this silver-haired half-elf, who resembled the Witch of Envy, looked like. As for Puck, the Great Elf, Roswaal had learned that he was resting at night and unavailable, so it would be best to deal with Emilia at night. But it didn't matter. Elsa also wanted to see the flesh and blood of Puck, the Great Elf, and she was mad and fearless.
Chapter 309: Sword Saint Reinhardt Appears
Upon hearing the Hunter's answer, Li Xuan and the others, who had anticipated this, were shocked by Cromwell and Felt, who were outsiders. Wasn't Border Count Roswaal the backer of the silver-haired half-elf Emilia, the Chosen King? Why would he hire an assassin to target Emilia? It was simply bizarre.
Unlike the giant Cromwell who was sweating profusely and felt that they were getting deeper and deeper into the selection of the king of the Dragon Kingdom, the young Firut was eating melons with great interest. She felt that her eyes were opened. The conspiracies and tricks among the nobles of the upper class of the kingdom, the wind and rain of swords and spears made her feel like she was listening to some stories. It turned out that what those down-and-out bards in the slums said were all true. It was so exciting, so exciting.
"Roswaal is simply courting death. If he wants to hurt Emilia, then neither he nor you have any reason to exist."
Parker's face was gloomy. After confirming Roswaal's betrayal, he had no mercy in his heart. Emilia, like his daughter, was his Achilles' heel; anyone who touched her would die.
Parker treats Emilia, his daughter, with great care and love, and sees her as the reason for his existence. Everything he does is for Emilia's benefit and happiness. If someone threatens Emilia, no matter how close they were to him, he will ruthlessly and cruelly destroy them.
Before the excited Elsa could make a move, the great elf Puck took the lead in attacking. It can only be said that if Elsa had not chosen to take action in the evening in the original book and Puck had not quickly reached his rest time, Elsa would not have survived at all, let alone attack Emilia.
And meeting Parker in the morning, especially the extremely angry Parker, was definitely a very unfortunate thing for Elsa. Under Parker's attack, Elsa was caught in a dilemma and had no room for resistance. Even with her half-vampire physique, the speed of repairing the wound could not keep up with the damage caused by Parker's attack.
Even wanting to run was a very difficult thing. As a great elf in charge of fire and temperature, the intense low temperature and freezing air that came with Puck's attack made Elsa's movements slower and slower, and she couldn't run away even if she wanted to.
But if she continued to fight with Parker, Elsa would not be her opponent. It can be said that after only a few minutes of fighting, Elsa paid the price for her madness, and this price was most likely her death.
This is the true strength of the Great Elf Puck, the beast of the eternal frozen land. The strength of the Gut Hunter Elsa is already very good among mortals. Even the knights of the Dragon Kingdom, except for the swordsman Reinhardt, are no match for the Gut Hunter Elsa. But facing the Great Elf Puck, even the Gut Hunter will die if he doesn't run away.
Seeing that Elsa had been forced into a desperate situation by Parker and was in a dead end, Li Xuan had no intention of paying any more attention to her, but spoke to the side.
"Are you still not coming out? Sword Saint Reinhardt, stop hiding with your lousy hiding skills. Do you think you can hide this from anyone?"
The others were shocked. Sword Saint Reinhardt was recognized as the strongest person in the world. Even the Witch of Jealousy was no match for him. How could he appear here?
In fact, this is also related to Li Xuan. After he killed the Jealous Witch Shatira, although the Sword Saint Reinhardt didn't know what happened, as the world's own son, he naturally had some sense, so he patrolled the royal city early in the morning, and the fierce battle between Puck and the Hunter Elsa naturally attracted his attention and made him rush to the vicinity. He originally wanted to hide and observe the situation, but he was discovered by Li Xuan as soon as he approached.
"Lady Emilia, it's a pleasure to meet you. I wonder why you're here and why you've clashed with the others."
As a model knight, Reinhard had no prejudice against Emilia, so he bowed respectfully to the Chosen King Emilia.
"Nothing much? It's just that Leah wants to take action against Erza, the killer hired by Roswaal."
Li Xuan answered the Sword Saint Reinhardt's question on Emilia's behalf.
"Gut Hunter? You mean that Gut Hunter Elsa was hired by Border Count Roswaal-sama to deal with Lady Emilia? But isn't he a supporter of Lady Emilia's participation in the royal election?"
Reinhardt was a little surprised. Although he was upright and knew the dirty things among the nobles, he still couldn't think of the reason why the border earl Roswaal and Emilia fell out?
"Yes, Border Count Roswaal betrayed my Leah, so my Leah will not participate in this royal election. She withdrew from the so-called royal election. Anyway, those so-called sages have always disliked Leah, so now it is exactly what they wanted."
Emilia rolled her eyes at Li Xuan. He kept calling her "my Emilia", which really made her feel shy.
"Didn't know you were?"
"I'm a good friend of Emilia's, and I'm here to help her."
"In that case, please reconsider your decision, both you and Lady Emilia. Although I cannot interfere too much with the decisions of the sages, I still hope that Lady Emilia will continue to participate in this royal election."
Although Sword Saint Reinhard was already invincible, and even the Witch of Jealousy, Satira, was no match for him, but as a knight who always abided by the rules, he had no objection to the Sage's decision.
"Heh, no matter what you say, Reinhardt, Emilia will not participate in this royal election. But since she has withdrawn, I can find you a new royal candidate."
Li Xuan said with ill intention. The giant Cromwell had already sensed something was wrong. Although he had no evidence, he suspected that the person Li Xuan was talking about was most likely Firut, so he was about to take Firut away quietly. Unfortunately, Li Xuan did not give him this opportunity.
"Really? Do you know the whereabouts of the last Dragon Priestess?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't say that."
"Where is she then?"
"This person seems far away, but in fact she is right in front of us."
Reinhardt heard Li Xuan's words and scanned the women present: Emilia, Rem, and the Gut Hunter Elsa. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Firut. With the blessing and enlightenment bestowed upon him by the world, he sensed that the person Li Xuan was referring to was clearly Firut.
Chapter 310 Reinhardt's Helplessness
Being stared at by Reinhard, Felt felt very uncomfortable. She looked left and right, then pointed at herself and said.
"That final chosen one, the Dragon Priestess you're talking about, isn't it me? How could it be possible? How could a girl like me, born in the slums, be the so-called Dragon Priestess? It's impossible, absolutely impossible. You must be mistaken."
“Why not? Reinhardt, do you think Felt looks familiar? As if you’ve seen her somewhere before?”
Li Xuan did not answer Feruto's question, but asked Reinhardt a question in return.
"Indeed, I feel like Miss Felt gives me a sense of déjà vu, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen her before. This is our first encounter."
After hearing what Li Xuan said, Reinhardt also understood what the strange premonition in his heart was. With his photographic memory, he could remember anyone he had met the second time. Reinhardt was sure that this was indeed the first time he met Firut, but where did this sense of familiarity come from?
"It's simple, Reinhardt. This is related to the thing you blame yourself most for."
Reinhardt is a man of integrity, honesty, courage, and modesty, dedicated to maintaining the kingdom's prosperity. He possesses the courage to fight against the weak and support the weak, making him a true "knight among knights." Even on his days off, he wholeheartedly helps those in need. A national hero, he commands immense trust from his people, and his every word and action is imbued with kindness and consideration for others. As a contemporary Sword Saint and possessing the world's greatest strength, he is the only one who can rival the Witch of Envy.
But even so, he still has some regrets and remorse.
"You mean, she is......"
At Li Xuan's reminder, Reinhard quickly connected Felt with someone's appearance.
"That's right. Firut is the hidden bloodline of the former King of the Dragon Kingdom, Lugnica. This means she is the princess of this kingdom and the most legitimate heir. With the other bloodlines of the royal family destroyed, Firut naturally has the legal ownership of the Dragon Kingdom, Lugnica."
"You, you mean I'm the princess of the Dragon Kingdom."
Firut was shocked by this astonishing fact, and couldn't believe what she had just heard. How could it be possible? She was actually the daughter of the late king. This was too strange.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask your Lord Rom. It was the late king who personally handed you over to Cromwell, one of the leaders in the Demi-Human War."
After hearing Li Xuan's words, Firut turned her gaze to Rom Ye, wanting to find an answer from him. But when she saw the expression on Rom Ye's face, she understood everything. It turned out that what Li Xuan said was true.
“Why, why did you say this? I just want to live a peaceful life with Felt. I absolutely cannot let her participate in the royal election. It’s too dangerous. The royal family was wiped out in such an unclear way, let alone Felt alone.”
The giant Cromwell glared at Li Xuan, extremely dissatisfied with him for exposing Firut's identity.
"What's there to be dissatisfied about? Don't you know that even if the tree wants to be still, the wind will not stop? Even the most well-kept secret will eventually be exposed. Roswaal has already sent the Gut Hunter Elsa to find you. Do you still think you're hiding well? It's only a matter of time before others discover you. Running away won't solve anything, will it?"
Li Xuan curled his lips. For Roswaal, who possessed the Gospel, Firut's identity could not be hidden from him.
"this………………"
Cromwell was somewhat dejected. Even when he was young, he was not sure that he could protect Firut, let alone now that his fighting power had dropped significantly.
“However, you don’t have to worry about Firut’s safety. I believe Reinhard will definitely protect her, right? With the protection of this knight among knights, Firut’s safety will be no problem at all.”
“Yes, I swear on the honor of the Sword Saint Astraea family that I will protect Lady Firut’s safety and will not let the royal family’s misfortune repeat itself on Lady Firut. I, Reinhard Astraea, will be Lady Firut’s strongest supporter in her royal election and support her in becoming the new king of this country…”
Reinhard knelt on one knee in front of Firut and made a declaration of allegiance. For Reinhard, not being able to protect the king and royal family of the Dragon Kingdom has always been something he blamed himself for and regretted. Therefore, he swore on the honor of his Astraea family that he would protect Firut, the last bloodline of the royal family, no matter what, and would not cross any path that might harm Lu's safety.
"What the hell is going on? Why do I suddenly have to participate in the so-called royal election? I don't want to, absolutely not."
