Chapter 754 - World’s Number One Princess (2)
The light column transformed into an enormous blade that streaked across the night sky. Even though Erin attacked with her moon rule powers, she didn’t dare resist resolutely. Besides, Mini Bubble Gum’s rule was the ‘light’, which was a tier higher than her ‘moon’ rule. If this battle took place in the day, Mini Bubble Gum could stand up against Erin without Canary’s help. But it was nighttime and the moon was hanging high above them…
As the light blade brandished, numerous silver-whitish runes flashed around Erin. Then, they linked up one by one to form a barrier that collided with the light blade.
Clang!
Even though the barrier split into half, Erin dodged swiftly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The light blade struck the ground and thunderous explosions sounded while several meters-wide, bottomless fissures emerged on the surface. In the blink of an eye, the fissures extended to one of the hills and it crumbled completely.
“Ahh, this damn moon!”
Mini Bubble Gum wasn’t the least bit proud that she created a canyon out of a single strike. She yelled in anger and stared at the moon—even though it wasn’t the full moon, it was still illuminating brightly. If it was possible, Mini Bubble Gum wished to blast the moon away, which was why she grumbled while focusing her attention on casting her spell. Erin’s strength would fluctuate according to the shape of the moon. If it was the full moon, Mini Bubble Gum’s attack would only tickle Erin even if the latter didn’t cast any defensive spell.
But as a top player, Mini Bubble Gum definitely wouldn’t lose her mind to anger. Even though she constantly grumbled, her attacks didn’t stop as Erin quickened her pace and flew toward the fortress once again. Erin was aware that this wasn’t the time to mess with this little girl. Moreover, she realized that this little girl might possess a rule power that was a tier higher than hers. She was curious and astonished as to how such a formidable being came to the Munn Kingdom without the Country of Darkness knowing—if they were aware of it earlier, the Country of Darkness definitely wouldn’t allow Cullen to lead 150,000 Undead Creatures to their death.
“This is bad!”
Rhode frowned. Strictly speaking, it wouldn’t be difficult for Canary and Mini Bubble Gum to stop Erin together, especially when the latter wasn’t an adult yet. Even with the protection of the moon rule, her strength was almost on par with them. However, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were disadvantageous because they lacked understanding on Erin’s attacking style. Rhode also didn’t expect her to respond quickly and determinedly.
However, there was no use crying over spilled milk. If this happened in the game, they could still make up for their wrong judgments. But now, any mistake would lead to lethal consequences. Erin was getting increasingly closer to the fortress. Rhode turned to Orchid Heart. At this moment, she looked as though she was falling asleep. But lines of complicated text had emerged across the pages of her pitch-black book.
“How much longer do you need, Senior Heart?”
“At least five minutes.”
“Five minutes… alright, I’ll leave it to you!”
Rhode gritted his teeth and turned around. Shortly after, a pair of green wings expanded behind him and he leaped into the sky.
In an instant, he saw the massive, pitch-black shadow closing in. Although he had entered the Legendary Stage, he was still 20 levels away from her. This level gap had predetermined that he wouldn’t hurt her at all even if he gave all his might.
But Rhode definitely wasn’t attempting to do the impossible.

Swordsmanship—Essence of the Eternal Night. S Grade!
Rhode answered inwardly and raised his right arm. A holy, white sword emerged in his hand. The surrounding darkness slowly coalesced onto the blade. He clutched the sword hilt and swung his left arm across. Then, darkness rumbled.
He slashed the blade and the darkness before him split into half. Dark specks within exploded in invisible energy, which led the air to twist, tear, and blast countless fragments at the enemy.
“What?”
Erin let out a curious shriek. She came to an abrupt halt and folded her wings around her. At this moment, the invisible energy arrived before her.
Boom!
It struck her wings and time had as though stopped at that instant. Then, the surging dark energy from the collision spread to the Undead Army, where one of the enormous Skeletal Troll instantly shattered into bits.
Erin expanded her wings. But this time, she didn’t charge forward. Instead, she gazed at Rhode with a dubious glint in her eyes.
“This is Big Brother’s swordsmanship… who are you, Human?”
