I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 175

Chapter 175 chapter 93 Bloodlight Sword (Part 2)
“Miss Verafia, although you have always denied it, I think… you still care a lot about Duke Oran’s legacy. I will not obstruct what you seek.”
Verafia stood behind Ig. The girl’s voice came, and she seemed to hear something very strange. Her golden eyes fell on Elishia.
But before Verafia could reply, a strong and violent fluctuation suddenly sounded from behind her. The corner of the girl’s mouth twitched slightly, her slender fingers clutched her palm, and her gaze shifted slightly.
At the end of space, above the dilapidated, old, and grayish ruins, Elrod landed heavily, his body appearing in the air, and a huge, foul-smelling blood aura instantly eroded the dust!
Claude still had more than ten Blood Race Knights beside him, but they were also in tattered clothing. Even Claude, who was in the lead, had his arm severed, and his injuries had increased several times. It was obvious that after being repelled by Carlossti’s sword and the initial destruction of Ranteja City, they had experienced quite a dangerous ordeal.
“Bloodwind Blade?”
Claude’s broken body stomped on the ground. His remaining left hand grabbed at the rapidly surging Star Rank Dou Qi, dyeing it blood-red. His face, covered in blood, dust, and wounds, was no longer capable of pretending to be a Blood Kin noble as before. Instead, a sinister smile was plastered on it!
“Hehehe, what kind of pipe dream are you little brats having? Since I’m here, all of Lord Oran’s legacy belongs to me!”
Claude’s left hand condensed a powerful attack and swung it heavily.
“Blood Demon World Destruction!”
Elishia, who had arrived first and grabbed “Fular,” blocked in front of the girl. She raised her wrist, as white as jade, and shouted with a stern expression on her pretty face:
“Miss Vera, step back! All lights, converge before the sinister glare of sin! Divine Word: Sanctuary.”
Verafia looked up slightly.
Pure and flawless Sacred Light illuminated the girl’s beautiful figure, while the attack, terrifying like a rushing sea of blood, instantly struck the thin Sacred Light barrier in front of her.
The power of blood and Sacred Light scorched rapidly. Elishia’s face turned slightly pale, and she tightened her grip on the sword that condensed the light.
However, Claude didn’t seem in a hurry to deal with the mortal girls in front of him. His figure almost instantly surpassed Verafia and the others, heading towards the center of the ruins where a dilapidated long sword was inserted, seemingly the central plaza.
A few wisps of blood-soaked air that seeped through the Sacred Light blew over, only to be incinerated by the golden flames that ignited beside the girl. Verafia’s hair, like the golden sun, seemed to be blown by a gentle breeze, and her scorching gold, gorgeous eyes gazed at where Claude was rushing.
The vast ruins occupied a wide area, and the expensive bricks and stones, even after countless years of corrosion, still faintly showed their quality materials. Beyond that were the remnants of large houses and broken pillars.
Perhaps, before being destroyed by the power of the Sacred Sword, this place was the Beautiful Spring Plaza of the Ranteja Royal Court, with large green lawns, clear lakes like jade, guards with swords patrolling in front of artistic buildings, and high-ranking Blood Kin nobles waiting for their monarch.
However, under the Sacred Sword capable of destroying the world, all scenes had turned into ashes, leaving only a broken sword inserted in the ruins.
Under Claude’s damaged robes, he tightly held a sensing gem given to him by the Church’s “Envoy.” The blood-red stone, with its shimmering light, grew stronger, even revealing a scarlet blood glow.
This indicated that Claude was getting closer and closer to the origin of the Vampire Duke, who was rumored to be close to a god!
Even Claude, seeing that he had touched the source blood of this legendary figure more than ten years ago but dared not seek it under the shadow of Duke Dawn, and now it was about to become a reality, how could his face not reveal a fanatical expression!
The inheritance and origin of a near-god powerhouse, even if already damaged, were more than enough to compensate for his blood poison. Not to mention compensating for his damaged body, Claude had no doubt that he could take another step forward and enter the Saint Rank! After that, even if Dawn personally pursued him, what would there be to fear!
Claude seemed to see himself inheriting the power of the Blood Grand Duke, and after sweeping everything in the abyss, creating the great feat of establishing a Blood Race Kingdom.
Behind him, the blood attack that had erupted earlier was still suppressing Elishia’s Divine Arts and Sacred Light. Verafia’s gaze was clear and cold. In her sight, the dilapidated broken sword was in the foremost position.
Suddenly, the broken bricks and stones seemed to tremble slightly, and a stiff arm encased in black armor reached for the sword hilt.
“This is—”
The suddenly appearing aura froze the expression on Claude’s face.
The world’s space-time seemed to tremble entirely. The entire city ruins fell silent at this moment. Although it was just bricks and stones, in everyone’s eyes, it seemed as if the entire space was torn apart.
First came a black arm, then the breastplate, and then, the leg boots, which had suffered from the corrosion of time but whose sharp edges still appeared sharp, stepped onto the ground and stood up.
The Black Armored Knight grabbed the broken sword. On his black armor, a scarlet and dense light flowed along the deep lines. He suddenly raised his head, and a blinding red light flashed from the gaps of his helmet. On the broken sword, the radiance rapidly condensed and reshaped!
The excitement and joy on Claude’s face had not yet faded before it completely solidified. He stared at the Black Armored Knight who was drawing his sword and standing up with extreme fear.
Just the gaze of the other party made Claude, a Star Rank powerhouse, unable to move!
“He, he is…” Ig’s voice beside him trembled slightly. Verafia looked at her slender white fingertips and blinked her beautiful eyes.
The Black Armored Knight held the blood-stained long sword, and his scarlet gaze fell on Claude in front of him.
“Humble… lowly Blood Race… dare to steal… my King’s blood.”
The Black Armored Knight’s voice was intermittent and stiff, but it contained an extremely terrifying prestige, as if one felt an unavoidable judgment!
Claude’s arm, which he had raised with great effort, trembled violently. He suddenly gathered his courage and shouted angrily.
“Unknown monster, don’t block me!”
An unimpeded, terrifying energy erupted from Claude’s body.
A Star Rank powerhouse, in a full burst that disregarded the spread of blood poison, overdrafted the power of the Vampire Duke’s origin blood within his body, instantly forming a blood-colored storm around his body so powerful that it distorted space!
Every strand of the fierce blood-colored storm was more terrifying than the full-strength attack of a Platinum Rank powerhouse. Even a peak titled Crystal powerhouse would undoubtedly be easily torn to pieces and turned into blood water under such power!
However, the impact on the Black Armored Knight only produced a metallic clanging sound, not even enough to make the armor shine.
“As expected… it is my King’s power.”
The Black Armored Knight intermittently reached out his palm. Under the helmet, the blood-colored light seemed to dim slightly, but it instantly brightened again.
“Presumptuous… blasphemer, you should, be buried under my sword!”
The Bloodlight Sword that the Black Armored Knight had drawn with his right arm was aimed at Claude in front of him, and slashed straight across!
“This sword… it’s the same swordsmanship as Carlossti before!”
Ig finally realized what the Black Armored Knight’s familiar feeling was.
The sword that the Black Armored Knight had just swung down was almost exactly the same as the sword momentum traces left by the White Armored Swordsman named Carlossti that Ig had seen before!
