Chapter 421: An Enemy of One Move
The entire Prayer Church in battle lasted only about ten minutes.
Ignet clearly remembered every sword Douglas had cast, so much so that every time he recalled it, his physical wounds would remind him of the pain.
His robes were torn and tattered by the scorching sword qi, and beneath the torn fabric, Ignet’s body bore no less than a hundred wounds!
This was even with Ophi and the other girls doing their best to stop him.
His palm firmly gripping the hilt of the End, Ignet raised his head with difficulty, his hoarse voice sounding as if it were mixed with blood.
“Douglas, if you don’t kill me now… you’ll regret it!”
With Douglas’s powerful Crystal-level strength, even a single sword qi was enough to easily obliterate him. However, Ignet was still holding on not because of his powerful life force, but simply because Douglas wanted to torment him!
“Regret? Young Master Ignet, what else do you have to rely on? Are you still expecting your sister, or that Dragon Clan member and Vampire?”
A smile appeared on Douglas’s handsome, jade-like face, but it was devoid of his usual humble warmth, instead filled with arrogance and cruelty!
For a long time, Douglas had dealt with people and matters with the demeanor of a humble gentleman, naturally earning him an excellent reputation.
However, in this place, why would he need to suppress his true nature? Not to mention, on the martial arts stage yesterday, Douglas had already revealed his killing intent towards Ignet!
Recalling yesterday’s events, the proud Douglas naturally found it unbearable. A deep, fierce look flashed across his brows, and the golden light on his sword blade intensified by three parts. He raised his sword and slashed down!
“Ignet!”
The Ice Dragon Girl’s cry of alarm rang out. She, who was sent flying along with Flarn just now, gritted her silver teeth and suddenly transformed, forcefully unleashing her true dragon form.
With a clear dragon’s roar, spreading ice crystals froze the gaps in space. Then, her vibrating exquisite frosting wings almost tore through a distance of several hundred meters. In the next second, she arrived before Ignet, flapped her dragon wings, raised her head, and spewed dragon’s breath.
“Boom!”
The sword blade, blazing with solar flames, slashed down.
Under the dragon’s breath, Douglas’s magnificent robes were merely adorned with a layer of fine ice crystals, which instantly melted. The sword, abundant with endless solar flames, cut through the dragon’s breath!
On the Frost Dragon’s slender and beautiful body, crystalline scales were torn apart by the scorching sword light. The hot sword qi burned her flesh, and blood flowed out. Ophi’s true dragon form was directly broken, and her slender, delicate body was flung heavily against the wall, falling to the ground with a mournful whine.
Ignet was also blown away by the shockwave, falling heavily to the ground with countless broken bones.
Even though Ophi had blocked the majority of the attacks for him, the aftermath of this level of impact was still more than Ignet, who was on his last breath, could withstand.
“Heh… is this what you call making me regret?”
His luxurious silk red hair fell to his shoulders, fluttering behind him. Douglas walked over, bathed in the brilliant sunlight, a sinister grin on his jade-like face.
“Young Master Ignet, what can you do besides hiding behind women, you trash?”
His extremely sarcastic voice reverberated through the air, filled with high-energy temperatures.
Douglas didn’t even spare a glance at the young man’s expression. He took a step forward, his golden-red eyes gazing at the silver-haired Vampire Princess not far away, who, with anxious expression, was desperately rushing over with her sword clutched in her blood-stained bat wings. Douglas’s hand suddenly moved, and the scattered ice crystals wrapped around his robes melted completely.
Countless brilliant golden lights seemed to solidify time and space. Douglas drew the golden holy spear from his hand. Golden lightning and radiant light surged. Amidst the turbulent waves stirred up by the dazzling light, a scorching light ray pierced through and pointed at Ignet, who was kneeling on the ground!
The terrifying power pressed down, solidifying the entire space, and then shattered with a roar within the waves of power. The Solar Holy Spear passed before Flarn but could not be stopped. Like a meteor, it pierced towards Ignet!
The black-haired young man’s barely raised azure eyes met the sight of this exceptionally gorgeous yet terrifying golden spear light. Even the ripples transmitted through the air were almost enough to turn his internal organs into bloody foam, and his entire body felt like it was being torn apart.
Douglas didn’t hold back at all.
With his Crystal-level demonic power, and even the addition of Solar Divine Power, under the full force of the Golden Holy Spear, even a Holy Knight of the same Crystal level would have a ten-percent chance of survival, let alone Ignet, whose battle qi was only at the Golden level and who was on his last breath.
Suddenly, in the air, which was completely immersed in the golden light of Solar Divine Power and felt as if it were boiling, a wave of ice surged again.
Ignet’s pupils suddenly widened. Before the Golden Holy Spear, a soft, maidenly body stood in between. Her frost-blue, delicate long hair seemed as clear as crystal. Even the intense golden light could not conceal that crystalline and beautiful color.
Ophi’s exquisite, yet childishly cute face appeared in his eyes. Ignet could even clearly see that in those beautiful frost-blue eyes, there were still glistening tears, overflowing from the pain from just now.
“Boom!”
In the next second, the Golden Holy Spear struck the Ice Dragon Girl’s slender back. The surging power, like an exploding sun, shattered her skirt armor. Her clear, flawless skin erupted with icy dragon scales, which then exploded in the next instant!
“Ophi!”
Flarn’s extremely anxious voice called out. The scorching light and explosive force dragged Ophi and Ignet, crashing against the ground over ten meters away. Outside the impact crater, the floor cracked, leaving deep gouges.
“Ugh, cough cough… Little Fei! Little Fei!”
A difficult voice was let out from his throat.
Almost all of Ignet’s bones were broken by the shockwave. If it weren’t for Verafia’s Phoenix Blood, which he had shed for her, Ignet would have long since been dead.
However, even so, Ignet was completely unable to move. He wanted to reach out and hug the girl’s soft, delicate body, but his nerves only responded with endless pain, making him unable to even move a finger.
Drop by drop, blood, still warm with the maiden’s body temperature, fell onto Ignet.
Ignet, with his eyes wide open, looked at her exquisite, porcelain-like face, stained with blood. The long eyelashes covering her lively frost-blue eyes trembled.
“To think that as the beloved of Gedohoya, a little princess of the Dragon Clan, she would be willing to shield a golden weakling… truly a peculiar thing.”
Douglas shook his head slightly, and the surprise on his face disappeared. He pressed his palm down again, and the solar radiance that had shattered in the air reformed into a sword blade blazing with solar flames. He walked forward, preparing to deliver the final blow to Ignet.
Suddenly, a chilling aura swept through the air.
Douglas paused, raising his golden sword blade. A clear, crisp ringing sound rang out. Instantly, the color of blood filled the arc of the sword blade. The solitary, cold chill froze the surrounding scorching air into ice. In the next second, the sword, washed by blood and cold, slashed towards Douglas!
However, the red-haired youth waved his long arm. With a swing of his sword blade, even more intense solar flames instantly melted the close-approaching chill. The blood-stained sword was forced to reveal its form and clashed heavily.
“Ugh!”
Flarn grunted, twisting her head forcefully. Her retreating small boots shattered the floor tiles. The gothic black dress on her slender body was torn by several scorching sword lights, revealing glimpses of fair skin.
But the silver-haired Vampire Princess gritted her silver teeth forcefully, stopping her retreat. Instead of retreating, she advanced, her cold-glowing sword stirring up a bloody wind that swept through her silver hair, attacking Douglas, who was as dazzling as the sun!
“Heh, Miss Blood Race, you still want to attack me?”
Douglas, instead of getting angry, laughed. The Solar Holy Sword drawn from his hand shone with dazzling light. “You inherited Oran’s original blood. If we talk about bloodline, you’re indeed not inferior to that Dragon Princess. However, with what right do you draw your sword against me!”
Merely by the touch of the light, her youthful skin felt a scorching pain.
Flarn remained silent, her blood-red eyes fixed on Douglas’s face. Suddenly, she stomped her delicate feet, and blood-red, yet exceptionally gorgeous, bat wings spread out behind her.
A more demonic blood-red color dyed the blood-stained bat wings that spread out from her delicate body. In a mere instant, the demonic power of the silver-haired girl’s blood broke through the Platinum limit and reached Crystal!
“Using a secret silver method to forcefully raise your rank?”
Douglas was slightly surprised for a moment. His sword blade clashed with the Vampire Princess’s in an instant. With an extremely cold touch, it felt as if his blood was being drawn, about to be extracted.
He suddenly smiled.
“As expected of the bloodline of the true ancestor of the Blood Race. If it were any other Crystal, perhaps just that one sword would have sucked them dry.”
“Unfortunately… Miss Blood Race, you are facing me! The Sun God’s Chosen!”
As Douglas’s voice suddenly sharpened, a vast wave of light spread out. Flarn gritted her teeth, ignoring the burning light scorching her body, and forcefully swung her sword blade.
Although as the true ancestor of the Blood Race, Flarn was not afraid of the sun and strong light, facing the Sun God’s Chosen, Douglas, who possessed Surtur’s Solar Divine Power, was undoubtedly at a significant disadvantage. The damage received was almost doubled.
Furthermore, Douglas already possessed peak Crystal combat power. With the augmentation of Solar Divine Power, even after being attacked by Ophi, who had forcefully broken through to Crystal through the Frost Dragon’s inheritance from the Abyss of Death, she was still no match for him, let alone Flarn now!
Under the solar flames, the sword blade unleashed scorching sword qi in all directions. The straight lines easily broke through Flarn’s defenses, leaving countless terrifying wounds on the young girl’s delicate body.
Waves of intense pain crashed into her mind like a tsunami. Flarn’s exquisite, porcelain-like face turned as pale as paper.
However, the girl of the Blood Race still gritted her silver teeth, forcefully stirring her blood’s demonic power, and swung her sword at Douglas without retreating an inch.
Flarn was completely relying on the Blood Race’s far superior vitality to entangle with Douglas.
However, under the Sun God’s power, even the vitality that the Blood Race prided itself on was limited in its strength.
After hundreds of sword clashes, the golden sword blade in Douglas’s hand suddenly severed the girl’s blood-stained bat wings. The Solar Divine Power-covered large hand grasped her swan-like slender neck, scorching the girl’s snow-white delicate skin, and then threw her down heavily.
Douglas raised his gaze again, looking at Ignet not far away.

PS: I realized the chapter title was a bit difficult to come up with after finishing it… Well, the male protagonist is a bit weak, but there’s no helping it~ (And Ignet is also growing… at least he’s not as useless as before 2333)
However, Douglas still has to be dealt with by the male protagonist.
(Realized it’s almost the end of the month, and I have to start rushing the writing again…呜呜呜)
