Chapter 522: Chapter 82 Godslayer (Part 2)
“Heh, Lancaster, your thoughts are truly peculiar… I really don’t know who else could have thought of such a thing.”
Verafia chuckled, lifting her face. A mocking expression appeared on her beautiful, delicate face, “However, I am your sworn enemy, Lancaster. Aren’t you afraid that a disturbance will arise in your harem because of me?”
“If I didn’t even have this much confidence, how could I stand before Miss Vera?”
Lancaster said, and he suddenly waved his bright right hand in mid-air. Pure sacred light outlined obscure forbidden runes in the sky:
“As long as Miss Vera is willing to hand over your divine spark to me. If you can break through this grand curse in the future, and even possess ‘love’ for me, I am still willing to accompany you.”
Verafia’s face was still filled with mockery, but when she heard the word “love” in Lancaster’s casual tone, her delicate little hand couldn’t help but clench her fist. Anger appeared on her beautiful, delicate face.
—Lancaster, how dare he say that!
“Miss Goddess, do you think I have desecrated your love… the feelings you have for that young man?”
Lancaster’s slow voice came, as if he was chuckling, “However, so-called love and hate are merely emotions produced by mortals. By my side, how can you not turn hatred into deep love, let alone over a long period of time?”
“As for that young man, he is your chosen successor, right… As long as you promise me, in the future, after he marries my daughter, I can hand over all my foundations, and even Peka’s crown, to him.”
At that time, if he brought the goddess girl in front of him to that young man’s side, perhaps it wouldn’t be a bad idea?
Lancaster thought with interest.
“Lancaster, such a perfect arrangement… you truly are dreaming!”
Her voice, almost frozen, slowly came from the girl’s delicate lips.
In Verafia’s golden eyes, immense killing intent surged. Her jade-like tender hands trembled with pain that almost tore her soul. Countless residual divine powers, bound by dark chains, flickered, as if she were about to grasp and reforge her sword edge.
Lancaster smiled and shook his head at the girl’s actions:
“Miss Vera, I don’t know why you’re resisting. Right now, your condition is probably worse than I could have ever imagined… What do you have to resist me with?”
“Unless… you are holding the Sacred Sword.”
Almost in a flash of brilliance, white light pierced the sky, and the dark chains binding the girl’s slender hands melted like ice and snow. In her exquisite, art-like delicate hands, she held the pure white, immaculate, and radiant Sacred Sword!
“…As expected, the Sacred Sword is in your hands.”
However, Lancaster showed no panic or fear. His gaze towards her was more like a sigh of regret.
All of her expression fell into Verafia’s eyes. The girl’s teeth suddenly bit her thin lips.
Lancaster obviously knew that the Sacred Sword had been stolen, but from the beginning to now, he hadn’t shown the slightest bit of panic, and even now, he still allowed her to take it out.
Verafia even couldn’t help but guess if such a legendary sacred relic was something Lancaster had actively allowed William and the others to steal and hand over to her.
This was also why Verafia had not taken out the Sacred Sword at the beginning of the battle… What she thought was that with the Sacred Sword in her hands, she only needed to ensure that Lancaster could not use this legendary sacred relic.
However, at this moment…
The girl’s teeth couldn’t help but bite her thin lips. But in her golden eyes, an resolute determination appeared!
The immaculate Sacred Sword blazed with pure white light and was suddenly drawn from her hand!
Even a ten-thousand-foot abyss was instantly evaporated by the dazzling light, and thousands of dark chains shattered and evaporated in the light.
The scorching sacred light almost pierced the entire sky, and almost all the Lichen people witnessed the divine girl drawing her sword and rising.
Lancaster’s blue-gold long hair blew in the dense sacred light. The dazzling light made him involuntarily close his eyes slightly, but a look of regret appeared on his face.
“You really drew the Sacred Sword, what a pity…”
Almost at the same instant, on the divine girl’s beautiful, delicate face, the remaining rosy color of her blood instantly drained away, leaving behind a paper-like pallor.
Verafia’s golden eyes widened slightly. In that pure light, her delicate body couldn’t help but tremble, as if out of instinctual fear. The divine spark of the blazing flame in her body trembled violently, golden light and runes flickered, revealing visible cracks.
As the divine spark shifted, golden blazing divine power appeared on her body, as if making a desperate struggle; however, in the pure white, immaculate light of the Sacred Sword, it began to disintegrate and collapse piece by piece.
The light emanating from the Sacred Sword was like thousands of sharp swords piercing her skin and flesh. Every ray of light was like a fatal weapon, piercing her soul, shattering her divine status, and even dissolving her divine position when it opened!
“Miss Vera, the Sacred Sword indeed possesses the power to change the order of heaven and earth, and it is almost a complete world.”
The slow, young voice came from the light. Lancaster casually pushed aside the dazzling light and stepped beside the girl.
Verafia’s long eyelashes fluttered. At this moment, the endless light seemed to be tearing apart her body and soul. Any trace of divine power melted like ice and snow under this dazzling light, and she didn’t even have the strength to blink.
Lancaster looked at the girl’s exquisite face under the scorching light, and with a slight curve of his lips, he appreciated it like a work of art.
“In the history of this world for countless years, the Sacred Sword has only been a legend, and has never truly appeared before the eyes of the world.”
“However, whether it is in the scriptures of the Holy Kingdom or in the oracles of the Church, such a Sacred Sword truly exists… Lotte, do you still remember the oracle bestowed upon you by Saint John in the Hall of the Holy Seat?”
“…Light shines in the darkness, as His shadow walks upon the earth. That will be the radiance of blood and fire, and it will turn all sins into ashes.”
“It is it.”
Lancaster corrected.
Verafia’s gaze couldn’t help but tremble heavily.
Could this “it” not refer to the God of Light, but rather…
Lancaster lowered his head and looked at the girl’s slightly widened, beautiful golden eyes, which now seemed like shattered glass. Looking triumphant, he revealed:
“Miss Verafia, have you ever wondered… why, in the ancient times, the gods who once ruled the world disappeared? Why, after that, did human history truly ignite the fire of civilization? Why did this sword appear in Aizeliasia, the immortal divine court of your sister, the former King of Gods?”
As if illuminated, the dense light stirred up a substantial wind. The Sacred Sword King laughed wantonly, his robe fluttering in the wind, casting a grim shadow on Lancaster’s face:
“Because this sword was not a gift from the gods—but was forged by the ancestors of humanity in that dark era, it is called the Godslaying Sword!”
