Book 15 Chapter 46

Episode 72

"Now, the madness begins…!"

Waves of madness, surging from the depths of the abyss, spread throughout the imperial capital with this casino at its center, and violent tremors engulf the sea.

"There's no particular need for a medium like the [King's Flesh]! The power of my subordinates, who have the [King's Flesh] implanted in their brains, will only grow stronger! Even those without it, I will make them all my army!"

The blood-red barrier deployed by Shasha Simian gradually approaches its limit. Paladin Riven urgently attacks the abyssal wall with all his might, but it's futile!

"Shall we make a bet? You can never break it. It's vulnerable to external attacks, but it won't be destroyed by internal attacks! If you swear to become my subordinate even now, I'll release you! Now, how much longer can you last?"

At that moment, Lista, who had been observing the situation with bewilderment, reached out her hand somewhere.

'Is she finally going to use magic! What kind of magic is it?'

However, contrary to Cecil's expectations, no magic circle unfolded on her palm. Why?

'Ah! Is it a strategy to deliberately create a time gap to make the opponent let down their guard? I should use that later too!'

After a few more seconds passed… the next moment, various transformations (變革) occurred simultaneously.

The barrier of light was shattered.

As the blood-red curtain-like barrier shattered into pieces, seawater, pressing in from all sides, threatened to engulf them like a tsunami, and at that moment when everything was about to sink into the darkness of the abyss.

Holy Light (聖光).

A single ray, a light so clear and brilliant it made tears sting, flew in, breaking through the abyssal wall from the outside… and was caught in Lista's hand.

Supreme Holy Sword, Shyrphin.

Sharyllion, the True Holy Sword of Eldia Kata (05), the source of the light that eradicates all darkness, is said to have made the kings of the abyss, known as absolute darkness in the age of myths, tremble in fear.

Even if it was a fake.

The power created by imitating that light easily shatters darkness and illuminates a temporary dawn.

"My name is Lista Alter Shyrphin."

Lista's posture, as she gripped the holy sword beautifully, dazzlingly, and radiantly, seemed almost sacred. So much so that it momentarily left the proud elves dumbfounded.

"I wish for this world to be filled with genuine laughter."

Of course, even at that moment, Cecil's sudden worship showed no signs of stopping!

'To be able to wield a holy sword now, Lyn, you truly are…!'

However, Lista was by no means inferior to such sudden praise directed at Lyn.

'To find the private records in half a day, and to change bodies at such a critical moment… Lyn is amazing after all! Now leave it to me.'

The moment of admiration was brief; Lista, who had launched herself with the light that tore apart the darkness of the abyss, cut down Parmena's body.

Chae-ae-ae-aeng…!

Of course, just before that happened, a barrier of curses, boiling with the heat of lava, blocked the blade and protected its master.

"Finally, you've abandoned your composure and revealed your true colors, fake hero…!"
