You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

"This is... the [Stairway to the Stars]."

Suddenly, a low sigh came from behind them, causing the nuns to turn around abruptly, their eyes then filled with surprise.

"Mr. Shiloh, Miss Arya! You've finally arrived, that's wonderful!"

Seeing the reassuring figure arrive, even though Xirobi's extraordinary level was weaker than everyone else's, as the first person to uncover the demon's conspiracy, no one dared to underestimate him, and their faces were filled with respect and gratitude.

After nodding in acknowledgment, Shiloh used his hand as an umbrella and looked towards the Grand Theater, the site of the decisive battle.

Of course, because Xi Luo's strength was too low, he couldn't see anything clearly at all, and could only see the blood light and golden light fighting each other in a dazzling manner.

Looking at the continuously collapsing grand theater, Shiloh turned to Arya and asked, "How is the battle going?"

"Huh? Ah, right now Miss Cecilia and that vampire are evenly matched... Wait! What's this?!"

Shiro's performance made it easy to forget that he was just a [Dustbound] level transcendent, so when he asked, Aria was taken aback for a moment.

As a transcendent being at the [Void Realm] level, Aria could barely make out their movements. Then, the flames that erupted from the vampire's body shocked her to the core.

"Yes, she is the tyrannical chosen one of the Abyss, Vera Monger."

Looking at Shiloh's calm face, Aria's pounding heart calmed down a little, and she said, "So you knew all along... Then, should we go in and help Miss Cecilia now?"

Shiloh shook his head and refused Arya's suggestion.

"This is Cecilia's destined battle. Beside me, her holy sword has been dormant for a long time."

A sword will rust if it is not used for a long time.

For Cecilia, Vera's blood is the perfect whetstone to make her sword even sharper!

Clang!

Sizzle—!

Cecilia swung her sword, but suddenly realized something was wrong. She then decisively slapped the hilt with her palm, causing the sword, which was simulated by holy light, to explode.

Bang!

The force of the explosion allowed Cecilia to successfully create space. The next moment, an extremely fierce black flame bloomed in the night sky, and the violent and scorching temperature instantly melted the surrounding buildings!

Cecilia's blonde hair danced wildly, and an eerie blush appeared on her fair face, a reaction caused by the intense heat covering her skin.

Feeling a burning pain on her face, Cecilia activated the divine blessing deep within her consciousness: [Eternity].

The next moment, the burning pain subsided like a receding tide, and all of Cecilia's abnormal condition and injuries disappeared. Her emerald eyes, fixed on Vera, flashed with a sharp, cold light.

Seeing Cecilia's state, Vera's smile widened even further, and she laughed maniacally, "Hmph... Hahahaha!!! Cecilia, I'll remember you! I'll remember you! Hahahaha—!!!"

After her maniacal laughter, Vera's pupils contracted to their limit, and then a huge, dark phantom of a sun appeared behind her, melting through the moonlight barrier.

"Pfft—! Damn it..."

The barrier was forcibly broken, and the nuns coughed up blood. The scorching air made their lungs feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't push yourself. This is a battle you can't participate in anymore. Let's go."

Silo placed his hand on the nun's shoulder, and then the effects of the advanced water magic scroll enveloped him, counteracting the burning pain caused by the tyrannical divine authority.

"Eh? But you—"

The nuns looked at Shiro in surprise, but seeing his calm and composed gaze, they could only nod and whisper, "You...you must be careful..."

After saying that, he quickly left the spot.

Above, Cecilia stared intently at Vera, whose crimson light and black flames intertwined as if she were wielding two giant pythons. Her pink lips parted slightly, and her breath rapidly swirled within them.

The blessing of "Eternity" is extremely powerful, capable of negating all abnormal statuses and injuries without any side effects.

However, the duration is only one minute, after which Cecilia will be in a weakened state for a period of time.

However, it should be sufficient for most purposes.

Cecilia narrowed her blue eyes slightly, and the holy sword that had been condensed once more flickered and trembled with an unstable holy light, as if frequent explosions, imperceptible to the naked eye, were taking place inside.

Even if we don't win after a minute, it doesn't matter.

Cecilia recalled what Shiloh had told her before the operation.

"Go ahead and do as you please, I'll take care of everything."

Just thinking about those words gave Cecilia a sense of security, as if someone had her back, and her inner hesitation disappeared.

Honestly, when did my trust in him reach this level?

Cecilia's lips curled slightly as she recalled the calm, dark eyes of Qu Luo. The holy sword in her hand finally calmed down, but its color changed from a holy gold to a powerful, oppressive crimson gold.

call--

As she exhaled her last breath, Cecilia's eyes became completely still, her gaze fixed solely on the enemy leader.

"I am the sword of God, to vanquish all demons in the world."

Cecilia raised her crimson-gold knight's holy sword high, facing Vera who had transformed into a blazing black sun and was charging towards her with a maniacal laugh, and shouted fiercely: "I am the might of Heaven! I bestow upon you... [Holy Judgment]!!"

boom!!!!

The holy light surged and reached the night sky, turning the pitch-black night sky as bright as day!

The sword light clashed with the black flames, seemingly swallowing all sound, and everything became deathly silent, except for the constantly erupting energy fluctuations.

click-

The perception of time was disrupted. What seemed like a long time had passed was actually only a moment later, and the Black Flame Sun showed "cracks".

The holy sword, carrying the overwhelming might of heaven, is like a white rainbow piercing the sun, vanquishing demons and evil.

Chapter 75 Shiloh: I've had enough of the red tape! (Part 2)

As the light gradually faded, a large area of ​​the grand theater seemed to have been erased out of thin air, leaving behind a smooth, large crater.

Cecilia was panting heavily. The holy sword in her hand returned to its normal golden form. Her sharp blue eyes were fixed on a cluster of black flames directly in front of her, her expression solemn.

"Phew~ What a powerful warrior... Cecilia, the Holy Lily, I've heard of your reputation on the front lines."

With a "whoosh" sound, a cluster of black flames was released instantly, and Vera's body suddenly appeared from within.

Although her traditional aristocratic dress was still exquisite and clean, Vera's pale face showed that the injuries she had suffered were not as minor as they appeared.

Vera raised her arm; her forearm had been neatly severed at the elbow and was now wrapped in black flames, constantly repairing her body. However, a holy golden light blocked her recovery.

After casually lowering her arm, Vera raised an eyebrow at the unresponsive Holy Knight opposite her, chuckled, and said, "Our battle will definitely not end like this... but let's leave it at that for today."

Having said that, Vera gave Cecilia a perfectly graceful noble bow, her maniacal laughter turning into a smile, and said softly, "Farewell, my nemesis—?"

After she finished speaking, Vera looked past Cecilia and saw a figure rushing towards her with some confusion. A sense of foreboding instinctively rose in her heart.

Ok?

Why do I feel this way when I'm just a weakling at the [Dust-Bound Rank]?

Vera frowned slightly, but the black flames had already enveloped most of her body and were about to carry her away from this space.

"The Ritual of Forbidden Gods: The One Who Lives."

With a calm expression, Xi Luo's dark eyes pointed towards Vera. As his words fell, a complex and obscure magic circle instantly formed. Transparent and colorless energy waves swept out like sea mud, even surpassing the black flames that burned everything, and encompassed Vera within them.

Looking at the transparent energy surrounding her, Vera's ominous premonition reached its peak. Driven by her consciousness, the black flames suddenly shot upwards, but it was as if they were in two different worlds, completely unable to affect this energy.

"What...is this...?"

Vera narrowed her blood-red eyes, feeling the connection between herself and Hei Yan rapidly fading, as if her soul was about to leave her body, her consciousness gradually blurring.

The same situation occurred with Shiro, who had used forbidden magic. He only had time to give Cecilia a glance before he was immersed in the magically constructed battleground of wills.

Cecilia was taken aback when she saw Shiloh's gaze, then her blue eyes softened.

She knew what he meant.

That meant "No need to worry," and... "Protect me."

Cecilia immediately cast a divine barrier, blocking any interaction between this place and the outside world.

"Roar~?"

At this moment, Shiloh and Vera, who had entered the field of wills, seemed to stand among the stars, and in the vast universe, they could only see each other.

"Clearly a weakling, yet he has the confidence to fight me to the death... Heh, humans are truly fascinating."

Upon entering this place, Vera naturally understood the rules of this magic, and a smile that was hard to tell whether it was admiration or mockery appeared on her lips.

"So? What do you want to compete in first?"

Vera asked with a smile, but before Silo could reply, she shrugged and interrupted, "Forget it, no matter what weapon you choose for the duel, you'll only have one path left: to be brutally tortured to death."

With that, a skinning scimitar appeared in Vera's hand, and she strode toward Shiloh.

Gazing at the increasingly approaching tyrannical chosen one, Xi Luo Mo Tong remained calm, seemingly unaffected by the terrifying murderous aura emanating from the other party.

The closer she got, the more astonished Vera became, and the more ferocious she felt.

In her eyes, the other party was nothing more than an arrogant ant.

If an ant dares to challenge a god, it would not be enough for it to die a million times over.

A flash of blood-red light appeared in Vera's eyes, and then her figure disappeared from the spot, appearing in front of Shiloh in the blink of an eye, her skinning scimitar striking out swiftly at an eerie angle!

Swish! !

The scimitar flashed with a blinding crimson light, but Vera's face did not show the pleasure of slaughtering ignorant ants. Instead, her maniacal laughter froze on her extremely beautiful face.

"Heh, up close, she's quite a beauty."

Shiloh's voice rang out with a hint of amusement. His slender fingers traced the smooth, delicate jawline of Vera, and then he casually took two steps back, commenting as if he were looking at a product.

Vera was stunned, her bloodshot eyes trembling as she stared in disbelief at the "ant" before her, her mind unable to process what the other had just done.

Just as her scimitar swept across, Shiloh took a slight step back, and the tip of her blade narrowly missed him.

Then… taking advantage of the aftershock, he actually touched his own face… He, this ant-like human, was actually flirting with me?!

Vera's pale face flushed a bright red, turning her into a giant tomato light bulb.

"Humans!!!"

In all the years since she gained consciousness, Vera had only seen the fear and awe of mortal beings towards her; she had never been treated so frivolously and disrespectfully before!

Not to mention that the other party was an incredibly weak ant, which made Vera feel that her dignity had been smashed to the ground, causing her violent emotions to completely erupt!

Her eyes were filled with dense blood vessels. Vera gritted her teeth, her expression was ferocious and terrifying, and the veins on her small hand, which was gripping the skinning dagger, bulged as she slashed at Shiloh like a madwoman.

Rustling sound—!!

The impenetrable blades flashed continuously in front of Shiloh, but facing this series of overwhelming attacks, Shiloh was unusually calm, even having time to yawn, as if he was bored with Vera's attacks.

This behavior undoubtedly enraged Vera even more. After realizing that the scimitar seemed unable to harm her opponent, the scimitar transformed into a large spear in the next moment. With a flick of the spearhead, she thrust it towards Shilo!

However, something shocking and infuriating happened again: Shiloh seemed to always anticipate her attack, and the attack inevitably landed on empty air.

"Hey, hey, hey, the Tyrannical Chosen One? You can't be that bad, can you?"

Shiloh lightly gripped the gun barrel, less than a fist's distance from her chest, and looked mockingly into Vera's eyes, scoffing.

Upon hearing this, Vera trembled with rage, her reason gradually being consumed by the flames of fury.

If it were Cecilia, Vera wouldn't be this enraged, but it's precisely this lowly ant from the [Dust-Bound Rank]...

Of course, this is also related to Shiloh's fighting style.

No matter how Vera attacked, Shiloh's dodges were always perfectly timed, putting her in a position where she was almost hurt, but that small distance was like an insurmountable chasm.

"Damn ants!!!"

Vera roared angrily, gripped the gun handle tightly with both hands, twisted her waist, and intended to smash the gun barrel hard into Shilo and send him flying.

However, the next moment, Shiloh pressed the small curved knife, which he had never used before, against the shaft of the spear. Then, with a subtle arc, he used the force of the blow to his advantage, perfectly changing the original trajectory of the attack and causing Vera's spear to fly diagonally upwards.

"Ants?"

A sarcastic whisper rang out, followed by a crisp sound that echoed throughout the space.

Snapped! !

Vera's delicate body stiffened as she released her strength, while the large white moon behind her, struck heavily by the curved blade, continued to ripple.

Although it is a space constructed by consciousness, the pain is real, even more so than in the real world.

A searing pain shot through Vera, who shuddered and stared wide-eyed in disbelief, exclaiming, "You ant, how dare you—?!"
