Chapter 135: It’s Not Like Your Princess Arrived First

Hall looked at the holy blade in his hand, which seemed to be formed from countless feathers.

In terms of craftsmanship, so far, only the Eternal Winter Sword—Fimbulvetr—that Sophia had summoned on the seventh floor of the Demon God’s Labyrinth after he had kissed her could compare to this blade.

The others, whether it was the Glory of the Snow Kingdom, Moon Chase, the Rainbow Sky Sword, the Wind’s Soul, the Oath of Purity, or the blade in the demon’s hand at this moment, were all a bit lacking.

Hall even had a feeling that with just a thought, this weapon would turn into a feather.

She had always hidden this sword as a feather in her right chest.

Many people would think that this was just an ornament, right?

And at this moment, with this sword in his hand, the strange feeling that had made Hall a little numb due to the influx of the Demon God’s power into his body also instantly disappeared.

He could use the power in his body normally, and use the Demon God’s power in a clear-headed state.

Because in the game, the last attribute of the [Starfall Feather] was to give the wielder [Absolute Sanctity].

Simply put, when holding this sword, it could offset the negative effects of the Demon God’s power on living creatures.

On this side, Hall was familiarizing himself with the experience of this holy weapon.

On the other side, Ancestor Demon had a bad feeling.

According to the intelligence, Christine shouldn’t have the power she had as a Sage.

How could she have summoned this weapon?

However, the time had come.

Ancestor Demon had fiercely shattered his sword hilt for this blow.

This weapon of his, which was a mixture of the Demon God’s power and an ancient demon, was unstable.

Like Hall’s Wind’s Soul, it could be liberated.

But the original source of the Wind’s Soul, the [Wind Spirit], would return to Thorne’s side and the blade would be reforged in a few months.

But if he liberated his sword, it would be truly liberated.

The enormous power within it would gush out like a floodgate.

“Die, Hall, Christine!”

The black wind outside suddenly increased in pressure, and the entire ceiling of the church shook violently.

It seemed that destruction was about to descend.

But Hall just put the Rainbow Sky Sword into its scabbard.

Then he held the Starfall Feather with both hands and swung it forward gracefully.

“The wind stopped?”

The Black Rose had originally planned to completely embrace Christine with her body and take the Angel away first.

As for Hall and Trick Rider, if they couldn’t run out of the collapsing church, then so be it.

Hall could self-heal, and Trick Rider’s armor should be able to withstand it to some extent.

He would just have the Angel heal them later.

But the wind had stopped.

Whether inside or outside the church.

The howling wind had stopped.

It was very quiet.

The entire environment was extremely quiet.

He could hear each other’s heartbeats.

“Let me show you, Ancestor Demon…”

As the instigator of everything, Hall said coldly.

In an instant.

The entire pure white feather sword was divided into two halves, black and white.

He had activated the Black Blade, but the inherent effect of the Black Blade, which dyed the blade [black], was not fully effective on this [Absolute Sanctity] divine weapon.

And the Black Blade he had activated now was not [Flash Step], nor was it [Sword-Shattering Form].

It was [Wind Stop].

Each level of the Demon God’s sword technique had three categories.

As the most basic level, [Flash Step] and [Sword-Shattering Form] corresponded to speed and [strength].

And [Wind Stop] corresponded to [special effect].

The destructive power of [Wind Stop] depended on the wind element in the surrounding environment.

According to the in-game description, when this sword technique was activated, all the flowing wind elements in the environment would be absorbed by the blade and converted into sword skill energy.

At the same time, the dual speed of the surrounding enemies would be reduced within the range, and the closer the distance, the more obvious the effect of reducing the dual speed.

After a short charge and delay, a sword light would be slashed out.

The attack range, damage, and trajectory speed of the sword light were all linked to the amount of wind element absorbed.

Now was the perfect opportunity to use this sword technique.

Ancestor Demon sensed something was wrong and wanted to retreat.

Because he knew about Wind Stop, but at this point in time, he had not yet comprehended [Wind Stop].

But Hall could use Wind Stop to absorb the power in the pure wind summoned by the [Wind Spirit] and the [Black Wind] he had summoned.

He was screwed.

The situation was not right, he had to retreat.

But there was no retreat.

Only then did he realize that after being locked on by the Starfall Feather, his limbs were emitting a burning and intense pain.

As if the midday sun was placed in front of him and roasting him.

Coupled with the slowing effect of Wind Stop.

Ancestor Demon could not escape.

He could only roar in unwilling anger and liberate the magic circuit valve in his body used to balance the Demon God’s power.

“Even if I die, you all have to die with me!”

He hoped that after he went mad, he could kill Hall, the Black Rose, and Trick Rider, and then devour Christine’s sanctity.

Perhaps he could still regain his sanity.

“Then you should just go and die.”

Hall swung that blow without any emotion.

The sword light that almost filled the nave of the church bombarded the position where Ancestor Demon was at a super high speed.

Ancestor Demon could not avoid it.

He could only take it head-on.

And the magic shield he had previously used to defend against the Black Rose had long since been unable to gather again under the [Absolute Sanctity] of the Starfall Feather.

Then the ending was obvious.

Ancestor Demon’s corpse was not preserved.

That sword light had completely shattered him.

The church once again fell into silence.

In Hall’s body, there were two forces, sanctity and the Demon God’s power, clashing.

It wasn’t very uncomfortable, but his heart and blood vessels were beating extraordinarily.

He wanted to digest these two forces.

If he could, and he had killed a high-level powerhouse like Ancestor Demon.

His level would surely increase a lot.

Christine watched him quietly from the side, comparing the him in her memory with the him now.

Trick Rider, on the other hand, said nothing.

He dragged his damaged heavy armor and greatsword through the place where Ancestor Demon had died and left on his own.

The Black Rose had originally wanted to grab him and say that the Angel could heal him.

But Trick Rider did not look back and just left like that.

“It’s fine, Black Rose. Don’t worry too much. His injuries have almost recovered. As the evil beast’s confidant, there won’t be any sequelae.”

Christine said faintly.

The Black Rose then suddenly asked as if she had remembered something, “Lady Angel, have your memories recovered?”

“Mm, I’ve recovered some.”

She tilted her head, not revealing the fact that her memory had only recovered to shortly after she had become [Angel].

Because there was still a strange feeling in her heart, she couldn’t explain it.

She even faintly felt that if she recovered all her memories, something very terrifying would happen.

So she didn’t want to talk much on this topic.

“That’s good, Lady Angel. You should go back to the Salvation Church. Don’t be a Saintess Candidate anymore. The situation was so dangerous this time, and you didn’t have a decent guard by your side. Lord Mandosha Flower is surely waiting for you to come back.”

The Black Rose said in a hurry.

Three years ago, she had thought the Angel had died, and her heart was very sad.

Now, seeing Christine standing in front of her, she naturally cherished it even more and sincerely hoped that similar things would not happen again.

To this, Christine just shook her head.

“It’s fine as long as our dear Young Master Hall protects me.”

Hearing this, if it were a normal day, Hall would have surely found a way to change the subject.

But now, he was still trying his best to absorb the power in his body.

“Then you have to protect Lady Angel well!”

The Black Rose’s impression of Hall had changed somewhat.

As the Holy Son, his strength was indeed unquestionable.

She had also seen all the various situations today.

But Hall did not answer.

The Black Rose had originally wanted to kick him in anger.

But after thinking about it, she decided against it.

With Hall’s current state, he really couldn’t be disturbed.

“…What to do, what to do? Hall let a vampire suck his blood. He left without saying goodbye, and didn’t tell Lov or Christine. In West Town, he was with a vampire.”

On the outskirts of West Town.

Himan was wandering aimlessly in the wilderness.

At this time, after clearing, there were not many monsters left.

But after the work of killing the lost pigs was over, the white-stockinged lady fell into an endless confusion.

She really didn’t know what to do next.

What to do.

It seemed that in Hall’s eyes, she, his cousin, and that maid of his, and even Christine, were not as important as a vampire woman.

He was clearly in West Town.

But why didn’t he come out to acknowledge them?

Himan couldn’t understand.

Her heart was in pain.

But this matter could not be told to anyone else.

Colluding with the demon race was a very serious crime.

“…I was clearly planning to apologize to him. What on earth is he doing? He was talking about leaving Saint Louis a few months ago. I thought he had great ambitions and wanted to go out and do great things, so I…”

The white-stockinged lady muttered in the wilderness.

She couldn’t understand, couldn’t accept it.

Because Ye Wangxue had come over, she had understood the relationship between men and women in the East.

She knew that in the East, this kind of behavior would make the man lose a lot of face.

And Hall, he was so formidable, yet he didn’t tell anyone.

There was also a word in the East that could explain it.

It was called forbearance.

And in many ancient stories in the East, it was said that the king or the famous general was very forbearing when he was young, and in the end, when he was mature, he would turn the tables and destroy a powerful enemy in one go.

The Faxtius family did have political enemies in Saint Louis, and their number was not small.

As a new noble, it was obviously unrealistic to want to fight against the old noble forces.

If the environment of the Faxtius family was substituted into the East, it seemed that the men of their family should be forbearing and quietly become stronger.

Making their own reputation stinky and bad was just to confuse their opponents.

Himan could understand Hall’s situation in the past three years with this thinking.

After all, he had even deceived her, so the political enemies of the Faxtius family must have also been deceived.

But now, Himan felt.

Wouldn’t Hall be holding back something bigger?

For example, for three years, to hide from people, he had colluded with the demon race.

And now, three years later, he had begun to gradually attract the attention of the Church.

To become the captain of the Black Knights, and then…

She dared not think.

Thinking of this, Himan felt she was about to suffocate.

If Hall really went down this wrong path.

What should she do?

No, she had to stop him before Hall made a big mistake!

Her sense of responsibility instantly came up.

Himan was no longer confused.

And, and.

Although in the past she had misunderstood Hall and thought there was a non-existent big… maid who was seducing him.

But now, now it was a fact!

That vampire female spy, not only had she contacted Frida, but she had also contacted Hall.

She was definitely a female spy, and she had even contacted her to get information from her.

Such a smart female spy.

It must be…

Himan understood.

Hall had really been seduced by that Lucy.

Because this Lucy’s route was very obvious.

First it was Hall, then Frida, and then her.

And she was Hall’s cousin.

Maybe she wanted to start from Hall’s interpersonal relationships, gradually integrate into human society, and just play the role of a certain noble young lady.

Such a far-sighted plan, her heart could be executed!

“But Hall… why? There are not a few pretty girls around him…”

Himan was very depressed.

How was her looks not as good as Lucy’s?

If there was one thing that Lucy was definitely better than her.

Better than all the pretty girls around Hall at present…

That was her chest.

That person was bigger than all of them.

From the first time she had seen Lucy, Himan had noticed this abnormality.

And Hall had also mocked her when she was a child, saying “so small, really not good.”

“Damn it, so that’s how it is!”

She completely understood.

That female spy was so smart, of course she knew how to use her unique advantage.

“Sigh, it seems someone is coming. I’ll leave for a moment, Lady Angel.”

The Black Rose was very sensitive to airflow.

She sensed a strange and somewhat holy aura.

She subconsciously thought it was someone from the church and hid in the darkness.

And Hall continued to take Christine back to West Town.

Then he ran into Maria.

“Lady Christine, Lady Christine! Are you alright?!”

Maria looked crazy with joy.

She ran over and hugged the golden-haired girl in the Saintess robe.

The two of them were very close, and Hall even found that their two little peaches in front of them were squeezed out of shape.

Just a glance.

He would feel very Q-bouncy.

“Why do I regret it a little? When she said I could touch her before…”

Hall shook his head and suppressed the thought in his heart.

Then he planned to run away.

Because Himan’s aura was approaching.

He directly gave Christine a look.

Before Maria could thank him, the black-haired youth also disappeared into the darkness.

“By the way, Mandosha Flower, I’m informing you that Christine should be safe tonight, and your good subordinate, the Black Rose, is also safe.”

Hall wanted to take a detour back to the town to confirm Lov’s safety.

Of course, before that, he had to take out the last magic communication scroll and chat with her.

“Oh, is that so, my dear Young Master Hall?”

“What else?”

“Right, right, right. I’m at ease when you do things. I really want to reward you right now. Did Christine reward you?”

“No, I didn’t really want it.”

Hall thought to himself that if he was rewarded by Christine, then the risk of being stabbed would skyrocket.

It was a blessing in disguise that things hadn’t developed to the point of kissing Christine tonight.

“Oh, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, you’ve been rewarded many times.”

Mandosha Flower said faintly.

“Cough cough… that was all before I lost my memory.”

Hall laughed awkwardly.

Damn it, he seemed to be justly cutting ties with his past self, who liked to court death.

“It doesn’t count if it happened before I lost my memory? Then what about my little sister’s innocence?”

“A certain empress once said that kissing won’t get you pregnant.”

He chose Sophia’s golden words.

“Uh uh… is my dear Young Master Hall planning to eat and run?”

“That’s not it. Christine said she wants to continue to be a Saintess Candidate. Do you support this decision? If not, I think you can pick her up before she returns to the Papal State from Bal.”

Hall’s tone became serious.

He had also considered that with Christine’s past as an angel and her familiarity with Thorne.

Then Christine would surely take the route of resisting the church.

Staying in the church, she was already prone to being assassinated by other factions.

Now she also had to hide her past identity as [Angel].

It was a double risk.

Perhaps it would be safer to have Mandosha Flower pick her up.

Emotionally and logically, he should suggest this.

“Me? I don’t support it.”

“Then…”

“But there’s nothing I can do. I can’t change her will. For her, becoming a Saintess is necessary.”

“Oh? It’s very dangerous.”

Hall knew that Christine’s will was very difficult to change in the game.

But as an older sister and with the current plot development, Mandosha Flower should still have a chance, right?

“Of course I know it’s dangerous. You’ve also recovered a small part of your memory, right?”

“Mm.”

“You all know that I am her older sister, the older sister who loves her the most. How could I put her in danger? But she has to become a Saintess.”

Mandosha Flower said faintly, “This point cannot be changed.”

“Alright then. By the way, Christine should have been very formidable as [Angel] before. But why did she bury her own weapon in my heart?”

Hall continued to ask.

“Ah, this. I can’t say this. It’s Christine’s secret, a secret that I, as an older sister, must keep for her.”

Mandosha Flower changed the subject and said again, “But I can tell you that she scattered four feathers before she lost her memory. One is the feather you found tonight, another is in your heart as you said, and another is in the most secret place in the Cateline Kingdom. As for the last one, I won’t tell you for now…”

“Besides the feather that can turn into a weapon, the other three represent the three stages of her life before she lost her memory.”

“Is that so?”

He analyzed the information in these words.

Perhaps only when all the feathers were gathered could Christine return to her original state in the game.

Hall said, “If Christine had done something very excessive before, could you forgive her?”

Mandosha Flower’s abrupt question made him pause.

He thought to himself, could it be more excessive than him kidnapping the eight or nine-year-old them?

“Hahaha… as long as she doesn’t stab me, anything is fine.”

Realizing that the atmosphere might be a bit heavy, he made a joke.

Unfortunately, Mandosha Flower on the other side was silent for half a day before answering.

“Oh, as long as she doesn’t stab you, it’s fine, right?”

“Fine, all fine.”

“Mm, then you protect her well. She is very weak now, not the same as she was before. Don’t worry.”

“Before she becomes a Saintess, there should be no problem.”

Hall thought for a moment.

Actually, the best way was to get the remaining two feathers and let Christine return to her original state to protect herself.

But unfortunately, before, when he had wanted to return the Starfall Feather to her, he had been refused by the girl with “Even if you give it back to me, I can’t use it. It’s better for Baron Hall to hold onto it for protection.”

“Mm, Hall. Protect her well before she becomes a Saintess, because…”

Before the black-haired youth could say anything more.

The magic communication scroll suddenly had static.

It was cut off.

“…because she is becoming a Saintess for you.”

The second half of the sentence came from the purple-haired girl in black.

But it could no longer be transmitted to the young man’s ear.

The powerful magic domain that the person in front of her had unfolded had disabled the magic scroll.

But she did not look directly at the Goth-dress-wearing girl who had unfolded the domain, but was just thinking about the reason why her little sister was becoming a Saintess.

One was for Hall’s unpredictable fate, which could not be grasped by divination.

And the other was perhaps because of guilt for having made a move on Elizabeth back then and taken away the empress who could have been a powerful help to Hall.

Or perhaps it was not guilt, but to take on more responsibility.

So that Hall would not be unable to complete their original goal after losing Elizabeth.

“Mandosha Flower, is that really necessary? Aren’t you my ally?”

And at this moment, the person in front of Mandosha Flower was none other than Vier Masara.

Beside Mandosha Flower was Thorne, this ordinary old man who ran a blacksmith’s shop.

She and he were together on a cliff tree at the end of the plain where the orphanage was.

Opposite Thorne stood an old gentleman with a hidden blood sword.

If you were here, you would surely recognize the other party as one of the five vampire princes from the game, Prince Charles.

The current situation was:

Old man versus old man.

Young girl versus young girl.

“I didn’t say I would do anything to you. On the contrary, Prince Vier is so nervous.”

“Hehe… Her Highness the princess is here. Of course I have to come and protect her from you dangerous human elements.”

Vier had originally planned to stay in the orphanage to look for the feather.

Her leaving midway meant that the situation had changed.

It was because of the situation here.

And those monster tides were indeed not summoned by her.

It was Prince Charles who had gone to such great lengths to attract the attention of the human guard forces so that the princess could successfully get here.

Looking through the gap in the line formed by Vier and Charles, one could see a petite, silver-haired girl in a simple black dress.

Only the back of this girl could be seen, but she was so mysterious, so noble, so ancient.

Although the simple black dress was very simple, she wore it like a work of art that had been lost from ancient times and had only just been unearthed.

Mandosha Flower knew.

The one who was being protected by the two vampire princes was, of course, the Demon God’s daughter.

She also had a codename, called [Thousand-Year Princess].

“So why is your princess here?”

Mandosha Flower asked.

She had rushed here from the Papal State a few days ago, and tonight she had originally planned to go directly to the orphanage to secretly ensure the safety of Christine and Hall.

But when she had sensed the presence of the two vampire princes, she had temporarily changed her plan.

She had come to support her Grandpa Thorne.

After all, if the two vampire princes were to control the situation, she alone would not be able to handle it.

“I think, Mandosha Flower, you should stop pretending to be ignorant.”

Vier snorted coldly at Mandosha Flower.

She was the wisdom of the vampires, completely different from that Parousia of the same bloodline.

She had already seen through the truth of tonight.

“That so-called William has a very good relationship with Christine. Come to think of it, you also know each other. When I had Parousia go to Saint Louis to find you to confirm a person, why didn’t you say?”

“Oh, what person?”

“The princess’s contractor. Don’t tell me you don’t know.”

Originally, Vier had thought that Mandosha Flower didn’t know about the [Demon God’s Contract].

That was a privilege that the last possessor of the demon bloodline in the world had.

To sign a contract with a person, and the contracted person would have the chance to become a new Demon God.

That’s why in the document for Parousia to find the person, she had only marked out a range similar to the contractor.

But tonight, Mandosha Flower had appeared here.

And she was with this annoying old man Thorne, which obviously meant she knew.

She had come here to stop them from taking the princess’s contractor.

It was annoying.

Vier was very annoyed.

She had sensed that that so-called William was abnormal before.

But she had only had Parousia go and test him.

If she had known earlier that William was the princess’s contractor, she would have acted personally long ago.

“How would I have known about this in advance? He didn’t tell me either.”

“Then tell me, he must have tricked the princess in the past, taking away the precious contract that was one of a kind for a thousand years. Now he is with Christine, this woman who is most likely to become the Saintess. Do you think we can accept it?”

“Everything has to have a first-come, first-served basis. It was my little sister first, not your princess.”

Mandosha Flower ignored Vier’s angry face after she had set up a magic barrier and lowered her voice.

She just calmly stated the facts.

“Heh, first-come, first-served? That contract concerns the future of our entire demon race! You say it so lightly!”

“But this is also my little sister’s future. Then what should we do? Let’s team up and kill this scumbag. I don’t know if that contract can be reconstructed.”

“No!”

Vier immediately vetoed it.

“Why not? You can’t stand him tricking your princess’s contract away. This suggestion of mine seems worth a try.”

Mandosha Flower raised her eyebrows.

Vier saw that Mandosha Flower was testing the details of the Demon God’s Contract.

This was a top secret.

It could not be told to the human race.

Especially humans with special powers like Mandosha Flower and Thorne.

“Alright then. Anyway, you don’t have to think about taking him away from under Grandpa Thorne and my noses tonight. Even if you break through us, he won’t乖乖 go with you.”

Mandosha Flower spread her hands.

Indicating that they could do whatever they wanted.

This was her attitude.

“Hmph, in any case, I will find a way to make him乖乖 go with us. Don’t underestimate our vampire race and the princess’s means.”

“Oh, I feel that she is very beautiful, like a doll. I really like to pinch my little sister’s face. Can I pinch her face?”

Vier was about to say something.

A figure ran between the two in a panic, like a headless fly.

“Vampire Viscountess Parousia is here to protect you! Princess, where is the princess?!”

“Sigh, Mandosha Flower, why are you here?!”

On the other side.

Himan met Christine.

She had originally planned to go directly to the orphanage to see if Hall was still there.

“Miss Himan, Lady Christine is back. You don’t have to go to the orphanage.”

Maria was also very grateful to Himan.

She now felt that this cousin and sister of the Faxtius and Von Braun families were both very responsible and could be relied on.

“Oh, it’s good that Saintess Candidate Christine is fine. How about it, have you seen Hall?”

“He saved me.”

Maria had originally been preparing to cover for Hall.

But Christine suddenly spoke.

“?”

Himan had experienced the incident where Christine had been taken away by the Black Rose.

She was a little confused.

“Maria, you explain to Miss Himan. Now I want to take her somewhere.”

“Wait a minute, where are you going? Hall, he… in any case, we have to find Hall first…”

Himan felt that every minute and second counted.

She was afraid that Hall would be bluffed by that vampire and commit a crime.

But she couldn’t tell Christine and Maria these things.

“It’s fine, Miss Himan. Don’t worry. Hall is very well now.”

Christine said steadily.

Himan thought to herself, ‘I am his cousin. I don’t know if he’s well?’

And, she had just witnessed Hall giving his blood to a vampire.

Sucking blood could be addictive… she couldn’t let Hall fall.

Christine didn’t understand at all.

But the golden-haired girl just continued to ask a question that suddenly stunned the white-stockinged knight.

“By the way, Miss Himan, did you and Hall come to West Town together when you were children?”
