Summoning the Holy Sword

The situation is looking critical for our army…

Erin lifted her long neck and gazed forward in silence. Even though she wasn’t an expert in war studies, she was taught related knowledge as a royal. In fact, anyone with a keen eye could see that the Undead Army was in a disadvantageous situation. The Magic Fleet and magic cannons that filled the city walls wreaked havoc on the battlefield. This couldn’t be considered a battle. It was more like a massacre. In the sky, the Battle Angels completely overwhelmed the Ghouls, Bone Griffins, and Vampires while the Death Knights continued to put up a strong fight. However, they couldn’t last for much longer.

Erin’s eyes glinted curiously at the sight of the ‘crystal angels’ soaring in midair. They weren’t as formidable as the true Battle Angels, but there were so many more of them. At this moment, the ‘crystal angels’ leaped from the moat into the sky, which disrupted the Undead Army. Even though the Undead Army resisted and tried to gain the upper hand, they were only heading towards a path of destruction.

Big Brother is too impatient.

Erin shook her head slightly. She was neither a pacifist nor a militant and didn’t hold any sympathy for the mortals and undeads that perished. But even so, she wasn’t optimistic about her big brother’s plan. She thought that Ion was overly-impatient and shouldn’t have blindly attacked. However, Ion didn’t heed her advice and she knew that his self-confidence was both his greatest strength and weakness. He was convinced that everything in this world would act according to his will. No matter what accidents might occur, the final result would be as what he predicted. This kind of self-confidence was the power that allowed the entire Country of Darkness to abandon previous disputes and gather their forces together. But at the same time, Erin thought that this was her big brother’s biggest flaw. What left her in a headache was that Ion wasn’t blindly arrogant. Instead, he considered situations carefully before finally making a decision. It was also due to this that it was nearly impossible for her to persuade him.

At this moment, Erin received a call for help from Cullen.

He wants me to lend him a hand?

Erin didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and pondered for a while. If it was possible, she didn’t wish to join this battle. Currently, their attack was in a state of stagnation. Even though she couldn’t get involved in politics, she actually hoped that her big brother would reconsider his decision. Time and patience weren’t their enemies, but Ion just couldn’t understand this point. If she were to attack personally, this fortress would likely crumble and she wouldn’t reach her goals… Erin shook her head at this thought.

She was royal of the Country of Darkness, after all. As the princess, she held neither the choice nor the right to interfere with the decisions and trends of the entire empire. Since that was the case, her only choice was to display utter loyalty. No matter what, since the commander requested for her help… She could only nod in agreement. Besides… she wished to personally see how exactly did the human who spoiled her big brother’s plans time and time again looked like.

Erin lifted her head, expanded her huge wings, and flew into the night sky in deep, strong gales.

In an instant, the air around the fortress trembled—a single dot of light emerged above the fortress and it shone shimmering rays in all directions to form pictures of tree-shaped structures that brimmed with large, mysterious patterns. Shortly after, a hundred meters-wide rectangular barrier appeared out of thin air. Then, the silver-whitish light beams struck this thin, transparent barrier.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Within a few seconds, peace was quickly restored. Erin widened her eyes in astonishment because a petite young girl hovering in midair was looking at her proudly.

Mini Bubble Gum suspended in midair with four dazzling light wings behind her. However, unlike the angels, the halo behind her was made up of silver-whitish lines which resembled the main circuit of this tree-shaped structure and divided into branches. The little girl appeared more like a CPU at this moment.

What is this strength?

Erin sensed the presence of pure light from the barrier, but she had never seen such a strange-looking rule ritual that resembled a vascular pattern made up of straight silver-whitish lines. Not only that, but the silver-whitish lines were also split into different tiny branches which was totally unlike the usual circular rituals. On the other hand, some text that she couldn’t recognize was written behind the horizontal lines at the end. The texts were as though made up of several squares: mysterious, fascinating, and strangely attractive.

“Phew… finally stopped her.”

“How are you doing, Bubble?”

Mini Bubble Gum wiped her sweat as Canary arrived at her side. The former let out a casual shrug. Even though in terms of privilege level, Mini Bubble Gum and Erin were in the same tier, the former almost couldn’t withstand the latter’s moon rule attack. If it wasn’t for the light rule that merged into part of Erin’s attack, Mini Bubble Gum wasn’t confident of defending against Erin’s attack.

“She’s the princess alright. So hard to deal with. Big Sister, let’s do it!”

Mini Bubble Gum lifted her head with a smile.

“I’m sorry, princess. I don’t hate you, but since Leader has given his order, don’t ever think that you’ll get by us so easily!”

She swung her right arm.

“Privilege. Light Judgment!”

One of the ‘runes’ at the end of the tiny branches shimmered in a dazzling radiance. Then, it coalesced into a dot of light which swiftly flowed along the branch and into her. In the blink of an eye, the dot of light merged with her and countless runes flashed across the tree-shaped structure. Then…

The ground rumbled.

A warm energy like the scorching sun rose and pounced on its enemy.
