I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 751

Chapter 207 Eternal Darkness (Part 1)
A pitch-black sword was thrust into the ground before them, and a dense darkness instantly spread out, engulfing the entire royal court where the Ice-Sealed Throne resided. Not only Ophi, but also the powerful individuals of Saint Rank and Star Rank, showed expressions of horror in their eyes.
“This is… the power of that Dark Swordsman?”
A Swordsman of Saint Rank asked in surprise. His Saint Rank domain and demonic power did not cease even for a moment. The sword qi he swung swept out, and the sword blades falling from the sky struck.
Not only him, but his companions also unleashed their most powerful attacks and spells with all their might, terrifying powers enough to stir mountains and seas. They were like oceans submerged in the deep abyss’s silt, unmoved even a little, swallowed by the dark starry sky.
But they were not the only ones shrouded under this starry sky. The attacks of the Frost God’s subordinates descended, forcing them to abandon their attempt to shake this domain with their attacks and engage in a fierce battle with the burst of ice frost.
“It’s the power of a deity.”
Ig gripped the long sword in his hand, and a clear clang echoed above the dark starry sky on the sword of the End.
This was still in the Frost God’s royal palace in Winterfall City, before the Frost God’s throne. However, the source power of the dark starry sky enveloped it, making it seem like a separate dimension isolated from the world.
He could feel the gazes of the people around him, some panicked, some worried and anxious for him. However, Ig had no time to respond.
He forcefully raised his pupils, azure light shimmering within.
He could see that at the end of the darkness, it was not just the dark runes spreading beneath him, nor the dark long sword plunged into the ground, but a grand and ferocious deity from above the Ice-Sealed Throne.
Before his eyes was eternal darkness.
The dark sword blade was merely a key connecting to the deity’s power.
“Even then, it’s not the authority of Holder, the Frost God… but the destructive starry sky of Desolation and Decay, originating from the Star God, Disacks.”
Alcorea, he was a subordinate of Disacks. At this moment, why could he wield His authority, His power… was it with the tacit permission of the Ice Deity? But if He still had the power to wield his authority, why would he be clinging to life on the Ice-Sealed Throne?
Ig’s gaze tightened, and his mind was filled with jumbled thoughts.
Suddenly, endless darkness lingered, and the sword, inverted and plunged into the ground, which eroded with destruction and decay, was grasped by a hand.
As if the entire world trembled, the Dark Swordsman slowly emerged from the eternal darkness, and the long sword, in his hand, burned the dark starry sky.
“Alcorea…”
“You’ve finally come.”
The Dark Swordsman spoke, his gaze falling upon Ig’s figure across the star river. “Ig, are you here for your Goddess?”
He suddenly laughed. “She was an old acquaintance of mine… it’s a pity that now, I need to stop you.”
Ig’s expression did not change at all.
He did not understand the other party’s intentions. However, just as Alcorea said… he was here for his girl, and he had already made up his mind to face this entire darkness in his heart.
Let alone the obstruction of a mere Dark Swordsman.
It was like a slender string being plucked amidst ripples.
The sword edge of the End instantly pierced the endless starry sky. A wisp of ashen, deathly still flame ignited on the sword edge. Following his movement, it ignited the darkness and suddenly surged, plunging majestically into the entire dark ocean with his figure!
Even through the face mask and helmet, Alcorea’s face seemed to reveal a smile.
He raised his sword, as if the entire viscous ocean of darkness trembled with his movements. Suddenly, a sliver of faint light collapsed within the sword light. Ig appeared beside him, the deathly still ash-white fire burning on the End, and the entire starry sky collapsed the moment the sword blade was swung!
The sharp sword intent almost tore the eternal darkness apart. The sword blade suspended in the dome radiated an irresistible sharpness. Even a wisp of its sword intent effortlessly tore through the dense darkness, and the straight sword body seemed as if it would cut down the Dark Swordsman in the next moment.
But the sword blade formed of dense darkness blocked the descending End.
“This is Lord Oran’s Sword Technique…”
Alcorea’s voice spoke, as if a hint of praise could be heard. “You can even feel that terrifying sharpness of will; you have even mastered his authority. Could it be that Lord Oran personally taught you?”
“To master this in such a short period… truly worthy of the Origin of Rerlot. However, it’s a pity that you are not him. If it were Lord Oran, this sword would be enough to sever this sword, and even split the starry sky!”
The Dark Swordsman’s voice could not tell whether it was instruction or mockery.
However, Ig merely watched indifferently. His footsteps fell, and the darkness condensed in space collapsed. The End, which had paused for half an instant on the dome, moved diagonally, and a streak of star-like flowing light bloomed in the dark starry sky, pouring down as the sword blade was swung!
Even though it was covered by the dark source power, the space condensed outside the world was distorted, as if unable to bear the terrifying power of the clashing sword blades, and cracks appeared.
And the warriors, outside the battle between the Swordsman and Ig, showed uncontrollable shock in their eyes.
It was not even limited to the Swordsmen and the young man; the terrifying power that erupted was like that of deities battling.
Alcorea was a swordsman from a hundred years ago, carrying the power of the Dark Star God. Countless ancient and exquisite sword techniques bloomed in his hands, astonishing people. However, opposite him, the black-haired young man also wielded the End, his sword blocking and parrying rationally, even somewhat indifferently.
Dazzling sword techniques bloomed one after another between the sword edges, but in an instant, they were submerged in even more brilliant light.
Although terrifying sword techniques poured out wantonly in the dark starry sky, in everyone’s perception, all they could hear was the sound of two sword blades colliding.
It inevitably reminded people that half a year ago, this same black-haired young man had borrowed the power of the Death Evil God to stand against the descending dark starry sky.
This time, the same power erupted between the two sword blades. But this time, it was not Ig’s confrontation with a deity as before, but rather, it seemed to be merely a battle between sword blades and laws.
The frost spear blade suddenly pierced through the obstructing frost subordinate, shattering it. Only then did Ophi have time to turn her head. Her large, frost-blue eyes gazed at the starry sky, which was being shattered and rippled by bursts of dazzling light under the shroud of darkness.
“How is Ig so strong?”
Ophi was not surprised that Ig possessed the power to contend with the Dark Swordsman. She knew that within the young man’s body, there was a demon with whom he had signed a contract.
But the sword techniques displayed in Ig’s hands…
Although she knew that Verafia had been diligently teaching him, and Ig had never slacked off for even a moment, and he also had the assistance of the True Sight Eye… yet, this level of sword technique, enough to rival Alcorea, still made Ophi blink her big eyes in disbelief.
At this moment, the End was once again raised in Ig’s hand. The sword and blade struck the seemingly eternal dark starry sky.
In an instant, both the surging waves and the whistling sword light came to an abrupt halt.
Light and darkness fell silent, as if entering eternity.

There aren’t many people these past two days…
