Chapter 258 Chapter 52 Vicena
Andelfir Province, compared to the past, not only a small town on the border, but the entire Greenland Plateau was directly flattened by a terrifying power. The actual power spread across the land, trees withered, birds and beasts rotted to the bone, and it moved across the land with slow traces.
“As expected, it’s Anderdun’s domain… Damn it, Lance couldn’t destroy him back then.”
A soft female voice, like a murmur, appeared in the silent space. The mage with blue and white long hair withdrew her jade-white hand, her beautiful face furrowed with delicate eyebrows.
Although the young mage’s face did not look old, her luxurious mage robe on her slender body, the golden runes on the expensive fabric as the chief court mage, and the ancient staff she gently held in the other hand, which shimmered with obscure ripples, made no one dare to disrespect her.
“Lord Vicena, as you can see, this domain was opened this morning. During this time, Lord Edgeworth led the adventurers who came with him to the讨伐 (tǎofá – subdue, suppress), but it suddenly closed an hour ago. Not only can we not contact them at all.”
Count Lunse, beside the mage, saw her indigo eyes turn and said respectfully with his right hand on his chest, bowing.
“Moreover, as you can see, the area for miles around has become like this. If it weren’t for you, the spreading area would probably be even larger.”
“Teacher, this domain is the Black-winged Monarch’s… What do you think, Teacher?”
Dofiraia also rushed back to Vicena’s side, looking at her and asking.
Vicena moved her gaze away from Count Lunse and fell on her disciple beside her who was accompanying her, her expression softening a bit. She reached out and stroked her hair.
“I saw the Black-winged Monarch’s appearance back then. Although a hundred years have passed, the residual demonic power here has not faded at all… If given time, I think that within a hundred miles, the entire Earldom of Ansai will be corrupted into a nation of the undead.”
The young mage’s voice caused the face of a plump noble dressed expensively nearby to change. He subconsciously wanted to step forward to request, but after Vicena’s gaze swept over him, he was forced to hold back. Vicena’s voice continued.
“Count Ansai, with my ability, I can at most slow down its spread. If Your Lordship wants to eradicate it, I think unless His Majesty the King takes action, or the core of this domain is broken through.”
The fat count swallowed hard: “Thank you, Lady Vicena, for taking action. As you said, as long as the core of this domain is broken through, I wonder about Lord Edgeworth…?”
“Lord Edgeworth, although he is older, is indeed a powerful Saint Rank. Apart from this staff, even I would not dare to easily defeat him.”
Vicena’s clear voice was as pleasant as spring water. Her slender jade fingertips touched the light screen, sensing the death aura overflowing from it. Vicena’s eyes suddenly became solemn as she looked at Count Lunse beside her.
“However, this domain is the creation of the Black-winged Monarch, let alone… someone is deliberately manipulating the demonic power traces within it.”
“Lady Vicena, what do you mean?”
Vicena did not see anything unusual on Count Lunse’s face, then she raised her eyes and said in a deep voice:
“If I’m not mistaken, this domain is being used as bait by someone who wants to use the power of Lord Edgeworth and other adventurers to revive the Black-winged Monarch. Humph, how could I let you succeed? I will reinforce this place with magic and wait for His Majesty to come…”
Vicena’s voice suddenly stopped. In her crystal-clear indigo eyes, a hint of surprise appeared. She saw the entire pitch-black domain, as if split open by a sword. A familiar aura faintly emanated from the crack.
—
Iget slashed his sword into the necromancer’s chest. Under the bright white sword light, black mist burned, and demonic power dissolved. Even the black blood that flowed out evaporated the moment it touched the sword’s edge.
Under the sword edge of the End, the entire world was shaking, as if it were about to split in two because of this sword.
Iget raised his azure eyes, his cold gaze fixed on the necromancer’s face, which was cut and bloody under the hood by the sword light. The opponent wanted to struggle, but the appearing demonic power was frozen in mid-air before it appeared, and the sword light dissolved it.
“Slash!”
Iget roared, pressing the sword down with all his might. The unimaginably vast power on the sword edge of the End was all cast upon the necromancer.
With a single strike of the End, a huge fiery crack was cut in the sky behind the necromancer. The amulet bone fragments on his chest shattered into dust, and he spat out a large mouthful of black blood, his retreating figure distorting space.
The entire domain, like a deflated balloon, with remaining undead auras surging out, and mountains and the sky constantly collapsing.
Iget wanted to chase after him and slash again, but as soon as he took a step, he knelt on the ground, leaning on his sword. Flarn quickly called out and knelt beside him, trying to help him up with her tender little hands.
“Damn it…”
Iget unwillingly supported his head, his hand gripping the sword hilt so tightly it almost drew blood, watching the necromancer’s figure blast out from the crack in the domain broken by the sword.
Outside the domain, the scene of the domain collapsing and demonic power leaking out caused almost everyone present to tremble with fear. Vicena held the ancient staff tightly, but her trembling pure white jade hands revealed her state of mind.
Vicena’s clear indigo eyes were filled with panic.
Compared to her full-power magical forbidden curse, which could not break the immortal domain, being cleaved open by a single sword, Vicena was more concerned about the sword intent on the huge sword mark, which she had not seen for countless years but still knew intimately.
“The End, and the Sword of Annihilation… This is, Brother Lott’s sword…”
Vicena’s lips trembled as she spoke, murmuring. The young girl wanted to raise her eyes, but her wrist suddenly trembled violently, and Dofiraia beside her quickly reached out to support her.
“Teacher!”
“Mm, Dofi, Teacher is fine, you don’t need to worry.”
Vicena chanted a spell, barely stabilizing her emotions. Vicena was about to speak again when suddenly, her eyes trembled violently, and she caught sight of the necromancer who had been blasted away by the sword.
“Cough, cough, you damn brat!”
The necromancer, holding his chest, coughed out blood heavily, gritting his teeth, his aura weak. The sword strike just now not only shattered his most important protective item but also severely wounded him.
If not for his characteristic as a necromancer and using the countless undead he had tamed to block the sword for him, he would have surely perished.
The necromancer’s face showed malice. Just as he grabbed the teleportation scroll in his robe with his right hand, a bolt of blue flame lightning flashed by. The necromancer looked up in horror and saw a beautiful girl in the heavy robes of a court mage, surrounded by strong magical fluctuations, appearing in his eyes.
“A necromancer, are you the culprit here? This place will be your prison, don’t think of leaving!”
The chief court mage’s voice was filled with authority and oppression, but if one listened carefully, a hint of the girl’s anxious tone could be discerned.
