Chapter 363 - 364 The Raging holy Sword part 2 [2/2]

Imagining the possible aftermath, cold sweats trickled down the forehead of Black Rose Duke

Xiao’s mind raced as he tried to figure out how to prevent Odom from handing over the Holy Sword to Yumo.

It must be said, Xiao was very good at thinking out of the box and quickly came up with a suitable excuse. However, before he could utter a word, Odom nonchalantly turned around and nodded slightly:

"Wanna see the Holy Sword? Sure, no problem at all."

Odom replied almost without thinking.

For him,

He had seen too many people wanting to glimpse the Holy Sword. It was perfectly understandable that the black-haired girl in front of him wanted to see it out of curiosity. There was no reason to refuse...

Besides,

’Can I even refuse?’

So, with this thought in mind, Odom quickly nodded before Xiao could voice out, silently opening his space ring, causing the black-haired man next to him to wince.

On the other hand,

Under the expectant gaze of Yumo, a sleek sword embedded with blood diamonds, forged with blue gold, and white soul silver was taken out of the space ring.

Though not flashy, the sword radiated an indescribable aura of killing intent. The strong aura surrounding it, even before being drawn, was already distorting the atmosphere, causing the magic and aura in the garden to riot due to the appearance of Eshufier.

"Wow~, So this is the Holy Sword…"

Yumo couldn’t help but be amazed.

The excited black-haired girl quickly approached Odom,

Received this legendary weapon from the elf prince, and carefully held it in her hands for a closer look.

The reason why Yumo suddenly became interested in this world-renowned Holy Sword was naturally due to the trial.

In order for Mengxi to successfully destroy her in the future, a powerful weapon was one of the most important things.

Unfortunately,

Lately, Yumo began to harbor serious doubts about the level of human weapon forging. It was one thing for ordinary soldiers’ weapons to be ineffective, but the fact that even weapons equipped by significant figures like Bai Yanluo and Mengxi couldn’t leave a scratch on her was beyond belief. They were only good enough to be her toothpicks.

This left Yumo quite frustrated.

Now, after the Battle of SkyDome, Yumo had gathered a vast amount of weapons previously crafted by Xue Tianao from the ruins. She set up a barrier, piling all these weapons onto herself. Then... as expected, aside from her clothes being obliterated, she was left without a scratch.

At this point, Yumo totally gave up on weapons made by humans. So, she turned her attention to older races like dragons and elves, hoping their mythical artifacts could pose a challenge.

Besides,

From what she observed now, Eshufier, the Holy Sword of continental civilization, didn’t seem to disappoint.

The mighty aura radiating from it was unmatched by any other weapon. Within its aura, it contained an immense power of purity. In Yumo’s eyes, this longsword truly deserved the title of a divine artifact. Unlike those wielded by past Apostles, which turned into junk metal after just a few strikes.

This was indeed a Holy Sword.

Truly a divine artifact that every swordsman longs for in their dreams.

Truly an invaluable treasure kept within the elf tribe.

’The elves are willing to selflessly give such a precious treasure to Mengxi for the sake of the world’s future. Their spirit of sacrifice... is truly admirable.’

Without realizing it, Yumo’s respect for the elf tribe deepened.

’Hmm?’

Eyeing the simple yet profound sword sheath, a spark of curiosity lit up in Yumo’s eyes.

’It has a strong presence. So... should I give its hardness a test?’

An eager smile emerged on the face of the black-haired girl.

Then,

Without wasting any more time, the resolute girl pulled out the Holy Sword Eshufier from its sheath, under the anxious gaze of Xiao and Sebastian. The Holy Sword that had once defeated the demon lord and saved the world, was now fully revealed to Yumo. Under the sunlight, the platinum blade of Eshufier etched with silver ancient runes, became even more dazzling.

The platinum glow, accompanied by waves of pure power emerged suddenly and engulfed the entire garden. The sharp blade indeed resembled frost in autumn, its cold radiance scattering around, causing the surrounding flowers to instinctively feel threatened and tremble.

While filled with the power of light, it also contained a terrifying murderous intent.

This was Yumo’s most intuitive impression after unsheathing the Holy Sword.

However,

Just as Yumo was marveling at it, something unexpected happened.

A powerful force suddenly burst forth from the Holy Sword!

’Hmm?!’

’What’s happening?!’

The next moment,

Under the confused gaze of Yumo, a dazzling platinum light suddenly surged from Eshufier! With the convergence of the endless platinum light, Eshufier astonishingly entered a light-sword state.

A violent aura immediately roared out like a surging wave, charging all around with a forceful momentum.

*Boom~*

Under the intense aura, the beautiful garden around them was immediately reduced to a semi-destroyed state, with the terrifying residual heat causing nearby flowers to vaporize instantaneously.

The dispersed waves even knocked the surrounding Black Rose members flying, even the Saint-level Odom was forced to kneel uncontrollably on the ground, looking somewhat horrified at the Holy Sword that had suddenly released its power.

’?!’

"Why... why is Eshufier doing this?"

’The sword spirit was known to be unpredictable, but why would it suddenly unleash its power without cause?! Nobody at the scene had provoked it…’

’No’

’Now is not the time to worry about these things!! What does Eshufier want to do?!’

A surge of dread washed over Odom. Realizing something was amiss, fear showered on his face and quickly summoned all of his inner power to try and intervene, to stop their holy sword from its wild rampage.

Unfortunately,

It was too late.

In the next moment, under the stunned gaze of almost everyone except Xiao who was sighing, the Holy Sword untimely erupted with a sky-shaking killing intent.

This intent, like a burst dam, surged like an unstoppable force toward Yumo who was holding the sword hilt.

"Damn it! Who gave you permission to touch my foot! Get lost!!"

Accompanying the terrifying magic sword aura’s explosive release, a sweet voice, like honey but full of hostility, broke into everyone’s ears.

Above the illuminated sword, an image of a furrowed brow and bared teeth vaguely appeared.

Then,

Eshufier, in its illuminated sword state, violently twisted its blade. With a force that seemed capable of cutting anything, it thrust directly toward Yumo’s chest.

Yumo: "Huh?"

*Boom~~*

A deafening sound followed, with platinum light blasting out in every direction. The terrifying sword aura broke free from the Black Rose family’s camp and shot toward the sky like a beast freed from its chains. This awe-inspiring sight caught the attention of people from the various factions in the nearby camps, leaving them puzzled as they looked on.

At the center of the explosion,

Thick smoke was everywhere.

Frantically getting up from the ground and hastily waving his hands to disperse the thick smoke nearby, a grimy and somewhat disheveled Odom rubbed his eyes and looked toward the center of the explosion:

"Lady... Lady Yumo?! Are... are you okay?!"

Eshufier’s actions had completely exceeded Odom’s expectations.

The prince was thrown into a state of distress he’d never experienced before.

What if,

The black-haired girl had been seriously hurt, or worse, killed by the holy sword, wouldn’t the Black Rose go after him with a vengeance?! ... ’Hold on! Didn’t brother mention something about the holy sword being taken away by the Black Rose family for ’training’?’

’If it was trained by them, could the Holy Sword’s sudden attack on that girl be Xiaw’s doing?!’

’Could this be a case of internal strife?!’

All sorts of strange thoughts flooded Odom’s mind, but he had no capacity to consider them. Instead, he raced forward anxiously, attempting to figure out exactly what was happening.

However,

Once the smoke completely cleared, the sight that met his eyes left Odom frozen on the spot, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.

’?!?!’

At that moment,

Despite Eshufier’s powerful attack, the black-haired girl, who was directly hit in the chest by the Holy Sword, still stood there as if nothing had happened.

At her chest, where the Holy Sword supposed to pierce her, it seemed to have hit some sort of epic steel plate, unable to advance even an inch, and couldn’t even break the girl’s skin...

’?!!’

’This... how tough is this girl’s skin?!?!’

’The Holy Sword... couldn’t penetrate?!’

Eshufier is a weapon that even the famous Sword Demon couldn’t defend against!!

Although he felt a wave of relief, Odom was so shocked that he was momentarily at a loss.
