I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 658

Chapter 116 Hidden Knight
“This person is a crystal!”
Verafia’s eyes widened. Just from the glinting sword light, she could tell that his strength was definitely not below that of the Kasha Cult they encountered half a month ago, and even among crystals, he could be considered strong!
The bright sword light, at this moment, pierced through the gaps of the frost moon, and suddenly pierced towards her snowy cheeks, like the prelude to a storm, carrying gusts of wind and lingering thunder!
And Verafia didn’t even have time to react. Her slender hand hadn’t even picked up the magic gun when the stern sword Qi, and the touch of her tender skin, seemed to be about to tear her long dress and pierce her delicate body with fresh blood in the next second.
Even if she could cast powerful magic above crystal level with the magic gun in her hand, it did not mean she had the strength to match them. Without the flow of magic power, Verafia could not summon any defensive spells, and she didn’t even have time to pick up her weapon!
“This is bad… and that woman still suspects my identity. She won’t just watch this young lady get stabbed to test me!”
Verafia thought of a terrible possibility, and her delicate body trembled with fear. However, the sword Qi that pierced the cold moon as the storm descended did not allow her any room for reaction.
She merely raised her delicate face, and the dazzling light filled her pupils. The strong wind stirred her white dress, revealing her fair skin, as if this peerlessly beautiful girl was about to perish under this formidable sword.
“Miss Verafia, please be careful.”
A clear female voice sounded in her ear. Suddenly, her wrist was gently pulled, and she stumbled backward. In front of her, the silver-haired girl blocked the ferocious storm of a sword.
The girl’s slender and fair hands condensed magic power and caught the falling sword.
Instantly, ripples of light stirred, and the roaring waves in the air rustled Tais’s long dress and ornaments. Even Verafia, who was pulled behind her, was almost unable to stand due to the impact of the ripples.
“This woman is definitely doing it on purpose! Otherwise, why would she only make a move when this young lady was about to be stabbed!”
Verafia was full of resentment, her fair face puffed out adorably, and she looked indignantly at the silver-haired girl in front of her, whose dress was tinkling and fluttering under the fluctuations of sword Qi.
She was one hundred percent sure that Tais had been watching all along, wanting to see if she would truly reveal her identity when faced with danger.
And now, how could she possibly resist the attack of this crystal… If she were really hit by this sword, as the Goddess Princess, although she wouldn’t be killed, it would definitely hurt a lot and be very embarrassing!
“But this woman isn’t just watching this young lady get killed… Fine, this young lady is broad-minded, so I won’t hold it against you.” Verafia grumbled.
She wasn’t the type of girl who liked to hold grudges… Although she felt like Tais had plotted against her, since the other party had no ill intentions, there was no need for her to dwell on it.
Well, she had deliberately spoken aloud just now, wanting to let that annoying woman know that she, Young Lady Verafia, was not ignorant of everything.
Verafia raised her head. Behind Tais, the girl’s not very broad, but rather slender body blocked the bone-chilling sword Qi.
Tais quickly engaged with the assassin in the black robe opposite her.
The bright light of the long swords and the brilliance after the collision of magic power flashed rapidly, casting streaks of light that not only shone on the silver-haired girl’s face but also revealed the assassin, who was wielding a long sword and advancing, whom Tais called “Knight,” in Verafia’s eyes.
He had a tall figure and wore a black robe for stealth, but his every move undoubtedly revealed his identity as a knight. Moreover, his vigorous and fierce moves suggested that beneath the cloak was the face of a vigorous young man.
While Verafia was judging in her heart, the assassin in the black robe suddenly became furious and shouted, startling her into looking up.
“As expected, you are a witch among cultists! Count Sirius actually took you in!”
Amidst the roar of anger, the sword raised by the knight was illuminated by starlight, suddenly becoming several times brighter. It slashed down vertically, the sword light illuminating his figure, looking righteous and radiating an incredibly astonishing prestige, as if he wanted to split this cultist in two with a single sword!
Wait, is this knight going to unleash a big move?
Tais stepped forward half a step, her silver hair reflecting brilliance and falling from her face. A slight smile curved her lips.
“Actually, you should have already guessed it, because you fought with my companions before? However, you only expressed it now…”
She held a staff in one hand, and her slender fingertips flowed with pale blue magic brilliance, instantly condensing into a magic brilliance sword that was more than half a meter long. She directly raised it in her hand, which was loosely holding the sword hilt.
The faint magic brilliance scattered like phosphorescence. Under the illumination, the thin and beautiful magic brilliance sword, like a needle point against the wind, pierced into the storm!
With a “bang,” like the crisp sound of a metal sword edge colliding with crystal, Tais retreated half a step. The dazzling magic light followed like waves under the impact. The girl held her staff in her other hand, and a shield of pale blue luster lit up in front of her.
Standing behind Tais, Verafia’s slender fingers rested on the moon silver butt of her magic gun, but she did not raise it to attack. Instead, she suppressed a frown.
The aftershocks of the collision between magic and sword light rippled like raindrops on the shield, causing subtle fluctuations.
The knight’s sword strike just now was incredibly grand, even making Verafia think it was the furious, all-out attack of this knight who hated evil. However, its true power was far from her imagination.
“Could it be that this guy was just a feint, and his real intention was to escape!”
Before Verafia’s voice fell, under the flashing light, the figure in the black robe suddenly bent his long sword and, as lightly as a swallow, escaped from the territory covered by the magic light.
However, Tais raised her jade-like hand, and the pale blue magic power condensed on her staff, unleashing a large area of magic brilliance. With a sweep, it stirred up a gorgeous beam of light like a comet, hitting his body!
A clear and grand sound rang out in the next second.
The figure in the black robe staggered and fell. Although he did not suffer much damage under the armor formed by demonic energy, his stealthy escape was forcefully interrupted.
The pale blue magic power on Tais’s raised staff, like a deep-space comet, condensed and illuminated her face. Her silk skirt fluttered in the wind.
The silver-haired girl’s clear eyes looked at the opponent, “Sir Knight, since you have come here specifically, are you looking for Lord Sirius… Why didn’t you leave after meeting him?”
