Chapter 614: Capturing The Sword Saint Family
"Hey, you! What are you trying to do? Do you want to make enemies with the Sword Saint family? Both of your families had dealings with Watson. Are you trying to betray us?"
Christina watched everything in front of her as her expression changed.
She saw Augustus" figure in the Campbell family and Lana and Casey. At that moment, Casey was shouting toward the Ptolemy family.
"Father, are you planning to take advantage of the time when Watson is fighting with His Majesty to join hands with the late king to uproot Watson"s influence in the capital? I advise you not to do that. Watson is a monster. Even if His Majesty gathers the power of the Elven Kingdom and the Winter Nation, they might not be able to defeat him. He might even destroy those two kingdoms. He will become even stronger. Father, listen to my advice. Let"s stop."
"Shut up!"
He stood up, turned around, and gave Casey a hard slap. Daniel"s face was full of anger, and he looked like he hated the fact that his son had failed to live up to his expectations.
"How did I have such a useless son like you? How can you say such words in front of the late king? Are you courting death?"
He also understood that Watson was mighty. After all, Watson had planned to make a deal with him to sell him the diamond-tier Dragon Transformation Potion. He could resist the temptation of the Dragon Transformation Potion by choosing to join hands with King Landhar III. He had weighed the pros and cons for a long time.
Previously, he and Casey had some disagreements with Watson. If Watson were to become the future king, the Ptolemy family would have to act according to Watson"s wishes. On the contrary, if King Landhar III were to win, he would revoke Watson"s t.i.tle. When that time came, the Ptolemy family would have rendered meritorious service in protecting the kingdom in times of crisis, and they could take it one step further.
"I remember a similar incident happened more than ten years ago in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. At that time, the kingdom had put out an all-out arrest warrant for the Primordial Demoness"s followers, exterminating the Demoness Church! At that time, the Demoness Church"s influence was not inferior to Watson"s today. It was also spread throughout the entire kingdom and was deeply ingrained in the people"s hearts. Didn"t His Majesty King Landhar III still remove it? I wonder if this is a similar situation."
Daniel"s eyes flickered. As the head of one of the three Archdukes" families, he was very good at judging the situation and taking sides. In his opinion, Watson"s chances of winning that battle were not high.
Armand thought the same too. After the old king raised his hand to signal for him to stand up, Armand stood up and said, "Augustus, as long as we capture those people, even if Watson wins, we will have no choice but to surrender, right? After we get rid of Watson, you"ll still be the strongest genius in the kingdom."
"The t.i.tle of the strongest genius is no longer important to me. As long as there"s a chance to defeat Watson, I"m okay with it."
Augustus shrugged, his fiery red hair swaying in the air. As he said that, he looked at Christina and said, "Miss Christina, you"re not my match. You"d better surrender obediently. Otherwise, it won"t be good if I hurt you later."
"There"s no such thing as surrendering in the Sword Saint family. Previously, you relied on the power of the holy relic to defeat me. I wonder if you"d still be my match after being resurrected by Watson."
Christina strode forward with a determined expression, extending her hand to block the Sword Saint"s disciples behind her. Above her head, a giant earthen-yellow dragon fell from the sky. On the dragon"s back stood numerous sharp spikes in the shape of a giant sword, accompanied by a deafening dragon"s cry. That dragon was the companion she had obtained in the Dragon Lair—the diamond-tier Sword King Mountain Dragon.
As the dragon descended, Christina raised her right hand and lightly shouted, "Dragon fusion."
With a soft sound, the Sword King Mountain Dragon turned into a ray of light and coiled around her body, causing her yellow hair to glow with a golden light. As it fluttered in the wind, her pupils became vertical, and a thick layer of rock armor appeared on her body. Even her cheeks were covered with traces of the armor. In her right hand, a giant sword as thick as a door was propped on the ground.
That huge sword was covered with barbs and looked like the dragon"s tail. After performing the Dragon Fusion, Christina"s aura was much stronger too. She slashed her sword in the direction of Augustus.
"Infinite Kingdom of Swords!"
As the sword fell, tens of thousands of blades appeared. Tens of thousands of sword kingdoms with colorful lights appeared before her. They crashed in all directions like waves. That powerful force shattered the Sword Saint"s courtyard. The ground was also plowed into a crisscrossed abyss.
She recently developed that move. Her talent might not be as good as Watson"s or her father"s, but she could definitely be called a genius in sword technique. The Infinite Kingdom of Swords used the power of the Kingdom of Swords one after another, and it would not stop until it was exhausted. Even a G.o.d might not be able to withstand the bombardment of sword techniques.
Her best sword technique was the Infinite Sword Slash. At that moment, she fused that sword technique with the Kingdom of the Sword, creating an unprecedented path. That was a sword technique that belonged solely to her.
At that moment, in the Sword Saint"s courtyard, to protect her senior and junior brothers behind her, she chose to let her strongest sword technique bloom in the world.
The sound of explosions rang out continuously in front of her. The Ptolemy and Campbell family members, who had been planning to capture her and force Watson to submit, ran out like stray dogs at that moment.
"See, Father, I told you Watson was a monster. After staying by his side for a long time, even Miss Christina has become a monster."
"Shut up!"
The conversation between Daniel and Casey could be vaguely heard.
"Augustus, protect His Majesty. No, His Majesty is very powerful. You should come over and protect me."
It seemed to be Armand"s exclamation.
Immediately after, the layers of the divine Kingdom of the Sword shattered. Augustus" entire body was covered in green flames as he came out of the divine kingdom. Those were the flames of life. The ground that he had burned came alive one after another. He transformed into stone giants that were at least platinum-tier and lifted the people from the two families. Augustus was like the G.o.d of War.
The divine Kingdom of the Sword that Christina released crushed his body, turning his body into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. Under the exposed flesh and blood, there were holy relics with a metallic l.u.s.ter.
"It"s a diamond-tier holy relic? You"ve been modified again?" Christina"s pupils constricted, and she could not help but exclaim in surprise. Usually, Augustus would not be her match after being revived by Watson. However, Augustus had fused with many holy relics and transformed into something else. The situation was different.
Bearing the attack of the Kingdom of the Sword, Augustus came in front of Christina and punched her. Blood seeped from the corner of Christina"s lips. She took a few steps back, and the dragon that covered her body bounced out. The dragonification was dispelled.
"Watson should not have resurrected you." Christina forcefully straightened her body with her giant sword to support herself. Even at the last moment, she was unwilling to admit defeat. If the Sword Saint family members wanted to die, they would want to die on the battlefield.
"The Power of Death!"
A pitch-black fog appeared on Christina"s body. That fog came from the death-elemental magic source. Christina had not gone all out against the person in front of her. She had changed her mind. The fastest way to kill a person was through the Power of Death.
"Yes, Watson shouldn"t have resurrected me at all. That way, I won"t have a lot of trouble now." Augustus turned a blind eye to the Power of Death on Christina"s body and sighed. With his back facing the two families, he raised his right hand. Deep darkness that also symbolized death flashed in his palm. "As for you, you should sleep for a while."
