Chapter 461: Five Nodes (8)

Sorry for the irregular releases. I have been a bit busy this week. I'm keeping in mind the chapters I have not published, don't worry...

Enjoy...

...

"So the girls succeeded as well, huh. It looks like I underestimated them." Saintess Charise muttered when she felt the magic array around the city shake for the second time. "I guess we should hurry as well then. Kallevang, end this."

"As you wish, Saintess." Kallevang bowed slightly and walked forward.

In front of him, the knights of the Church of Fate were fighting against creatures contaminated by the Blight. The battle had been in a stalemate for a while, although the creatures had a slight advantage.

But everything changed as soon as Kallevang acted.

With the first swing of his greatsword, five creatures were killed, and with the second swing, four creatures more were cut into two.

With his third swing, the remaining creatures died.

Then, he swung his sword a fourth time, destroying the barrier instantly.

"Come out," Kallevang spoke out. "Stop hiding. I know that you are here."

"… As expected of the leader of the Order of the Guiding Light. Your reputation precedes you."

Kallevang frowned and looked at the figure that suddenly appeared. It was a man with a black mask covering the lower half of his face. He had a pair of black eyes as dark as the night sky, and his body was covered by a black robe.

With just a glance, Kallevang knew that this man was a demigod like him.

However–

"Is it only you?" He asked in a disappointed tone.

The man's eyebrows twitched.

"… It looks like you are very confident, huh. However, you underestimate me if you think you can defeat me so easily."

"You are mistaken, I'm not underestimating you." Kallevang shook his head indifferently and put his greatsword on his shoulder. "It's just that you are too weak."

In the next instant, Kallevang disappeared.

The masked demigod was startled, but his reaction was fast. As soon as he saw Kallevang disappear, he jumped away.

But–

"Impo… sible…"

To his surprise, he found Kallevang's sword piercing his abdomen.

"I told you, you are too weak." Kallevang glanced at him indifferently and pulled his sword out, letting the demigod bleed out to death.

He then walked towards the node that the demigod was protecting and pierced it with his sword.

*Rumble!* The magic array around the city trembled again, this time more violently than the first two times.

"It looks like we are done here." Charise approached Kallevang with a calm smile on her face. "Let's go, then. Perhaps our protegee needs our help."

Kallevang nodded.

"As you wish, Saintess."

…

At the same time, Headmistress Wave and the former saintess of Moonlight Glow, Eve Moonglow, were still fighting against the Number 8 of Returning Dusk and his men.

The battle had turned very fierce, and several buildings had been destroyed since it started. But before long, Wave and Eve managed to get an advantage.

Even against a peak demigod plus six other demigods, the dragon girl and the fox girl were strong enough to seriously injure several of them.

Unfortunately, their main enemy, the hooded man with the number 8 in his hand, was still uninjured.

In fact, Wave and Eve felt that he was not fighting them seriously, as though his purpose was to stall them.

Just then, Wave and Eve felt the magic array shake violently.

"This is the third time. It looks like these guys are more efficient than we thought." Wave grinned.

"Mm. Only this node and another remain."

"Yeah, but this node will be a bit difficult." Wave smiled wryly before staring at the hooded man with a serious expression. "Where in the hell did he come from? He is too strong to be an unknown man."

"Returning Dusk is very mysterious." Eve shook her head. "Nobody knows the identity of their core members."

"… What a terrifying organization. This guy is just the number 8. What about the number or the number 2? What kind of monsters are they?"

Eve did not reply.

In fact, she was just as astonished as Wave.

An organization this powerful had kept a low profile for so many years. Why did they appear now?

What is their aim? Why are they doing this?

Eve did not know, but she did not think about it too much.

Right now, her priority was defeating this man and destroying the node.

She could think about the rest after that.

…

"So the node was destroyed, huh." The demigod woman who was fighting Eres looked towards Liu Ying, Aya, and the others with a surprised expression. "Amazing. Who is that girl?" She asked while staring at Liu Ying.

Eres did not reply. She just stared at the woman fixedly as she got ready to attack again.

This woman was very strong. Eres was sure that her last attack was enough to kill a normal demigod several times over, but this woman only received a few burns from it.

Aside from that, she was completely unscathed.

Noticing Eres's stare, the woman stared at her back and chuckled.

"I did not expect the node to be destroyed, but this result is not bad either. I guess it's time for me to leave."

"Do you think I will let you go?" Eres's voice was extremely cold, but the woman just smiled.

"You will. Unless you plan to let the monsters eat your friends."

Eres was startled, but when she looked down, she realized that Liu Ying and the others were having trouble resisting the creatures.

"So, will you stop me, or will you help them?" The woman chuckled as she turned around and walked away carefreely. "Remember, my name is Solia Whitehaven. I look towards our next meeting, Princess Eres Skysword."

Then, she disappeared.

Eres bit her lips and suppressed the impulse to chase after her before rushing towards Liu Ying and the others.

"Miss Eres! Are you alright? What about the demigod?" Isabella asked as soon as she saw Eres approaching.

"I am alright, but the demigod escaped," Eres explained. "We need to get rid of these creatures quickly and meet up with Bloed. Perhaps he needs our help."

"Understood."
