Chapter 1177 - Specter Swordsman



Chapter 1177: Specter Swordsman

According to Angelina, the path that Erin pointed at led to a stone door, which Angelina discovered by accident. Angelina thought she was so lucky for finding the exit so soon, but was utterly disappointed at the very next moment. Because when she was about to open the door, a specter shuttled out of it suddenly, raised its sword, and slashed at her. In the beginning, Angelina thought she was strong enough to defeat the enemy, only to realize the enemy was too powerful, and Angelina’s spirit was almost pulled out of her body. After constant struggles, Angelina left this ridiculous place immediately and had no intention of heading back. She couldn’t communicate with the specter either. Whenever she spoke, the specter acted as though it didn’t hear her and flourished its blade at her like a lunatic! Thanks to that, Angelina scrambled in ignominious defeat and almost lost her life. It was due to this reason that Angelina cursed that insane specter in front of Erin. Angelina deemed the specter as irrational, foolish, and idiotic, where its brain was full of muscle and it couldn’t do anything else apart from fighting.

Of course, among all the possible reasons, Angelina didn’t know if the specter was simply venting its anger.

Despite the complaints, Angelina and Erin were calm to the possible appearance of that specter. In the Country of Darkness, it was par for the course to use specters to watch over important channels, facilities, and treasures. That was why Erin wasn’t surprised that one was here. On the contrary, this also proved to her that the path ahead would indeed lead them to the exit. Perhaps the reason why it attacked Angelina was that it recognized her as not being one from the royal family. This wasn’t a rare occurrence, especially in tunnels where only royal family members could enter. As soon as any outsiders arrived, it couldn’t be helped that the specter would eliminate them swiftly.

After making her decision, Erin led Angelina ahead. Shortly after, they passed through the tunnel and arrived at the stone door that Angelina mentioned.

“How strange...”

Standing on the bluestone brick floor and gazing at the stone door, Erin knitted her brows. The stone door wasn’t considerably tall and was only about two meters wide like ordinary ones. But what left Erin doubtful was the patterns engraved on it. She thought the patterns should be the same as the ones earlier, where only the dragon race could understand. But after taking a closer look, Erin discovered it was completely different than she had expected. Not only were they not in traditional patterns recognizable by the dragon race, but the texts were also entirely different. Despite that, Erin felt like she had seen the patterns somewhere in the past...

It feels so familiar...

At this thought, Erin twitched her brows.

That’s right, there were similar patterns in that palace on Earth. Could this be a product of that era?

(Angelina, can you contact His Majesty Rhode?)

At this thought, Erin took half a step back and communicated with Angelina using telepathy. Upon hearing Erin’s question, Angelina shook her head depressingly.

(I can’t, Your Highness Erin. I tried and even though it should work... something seems to be blocking off my spiritual communication with Master.)

Seems like the Dark Curtain’s the culprit.

Upon hearing Angelina’s answer, Erin let out an inward sigh deep down. This unique trip away from home made her understand a lot of secrets about the Dragon Soul Continent, so she more or less had some judgment about the things around her now. That was why she hoped that Angelina could contact Rhode to perhaps give her some suggestions. But now that it was impossible, she could only rely upon herself. Erin lifted her head and scanned the surroundings. The lunatic that Angelina mentioned didn’t show up yet. Erin wondered where it was hiding right now. She stepped toward the stone door and extended her hand.

Swish!

At the next moment, Erin stepped back quickly, while strands of her cut hair flew in the breeze. The moon princess turned around silently and drew a distance apart from the stone door. She gripped the sword in her right hand, staring alertly in front of her. At the same time, an apathetic and lucid specter drifted out of the stone door.

The specter looked like a young lady of 16 years old. She wore a thin, cicada wing-like dress. Her green, silky hair floated in the windless air. Along with her movement, glitters of spiritual light emanated and encircled her. Her elegant and refined face had no expression as though she were a statue. Her bright green eyes were as ice-cold as a pool of water, reflecting a disturbing and chilling light. Gazing at Erin, the young lady didn’t say a word, but extended and waved her hand forward instead.

At a glance, the young lady’s action seemed meaningless because Erin had already drawn a distance of around 4 meters apart from her. But along with this action, Erin grimaced. She raised her sword, placing her left palm on the blade and sliding to the side immediately.

Clang!

Loud rasps rang instantly, while a series of sparks flew out of Erin’s blade. She stood slantingly, posturing with the sword in her hand. Along with this movement, dazzling blade rays emanated in the pitch-blackness. In an instant, the flickering lights were as glaring as lightning, illuminating the dark world in complete whiteness. Erin seized the opportunity and dashed ahead. Her sword metamorphosed into a curtain of blade rays, striking at the young lady!

(Your Highness Erin, be careful. This lunatic is wielding a shapeless sword!)

As soon as Erin heard Angelina’s warning, the former felt a gentle flow of blade winds brushing her ear. She flipped around without any hesitation, drawing blade arcs in midair continuously. Along with this swift movement, bright lights flickered from her blade. In an instant, the entire world was filled with a glaring brilliance, followed by the ringing of collision.

(Go to hell, you bast*rd!)

After the clash between Erin and the specter young lady yielded no result, Angelina who lurked in the darkness pounced over instantly. Her hands twinkled in a subtle red glow, striking at the back of the specter young lady silently. This time, Angelina was merciless. During her time in this escape route, she was beaten up by this specter whenever she got close, causing her to sneak away in humiliation every time. If it weren’t for her identity as a vampire and her inheriting the power of the first ancestors, perhaps she would have died a lot of times by now. It was due to this reason that Angelina bore a massive grudge against this young lady. Now that she had this perfect chance to ambush her, she wouldn’t let it go to waste!

Since vampire was a synonym to treacherous and shameless, there wasn’t anything wrong with ambushing!

The moment Angelina’s hands almost penetrated the specter, the latter turned around suddenly and swept a glance at the former. Upon detecting the specter’s gaze, Angelina’s hair stood upright. Using her experiences in battling against this specter, Angelina adjusted her movements instinctively. She withdrew her extended arms and placed them before her chest to defend herself. The specter’s attack left the petite vampire retreating abruptly.

“Argh!”

Even though Angelina thought she was completely prepared for this attack, the ensuing pain made her realize that she underestimated the situation. The powerful impact threw her aside ruthlessly as she crashed into the ground. When she stood to her feet again, a ghastly and bloody wound had appeared on her fair, slender arm. If Angelina didn’t use her power to protect herself instinctively, perhaps this slash of the blade would have been enough to severe her head!

“This bast*rd!”

Gazing at her arm that was hacked off from its bone, Angelina gnashed her teeth. But she wasn’t in the mood to blow her top anymore. This wasn’t the first time she suffered like this. Back then, Angelina didn’t expect the specter to attack her. As a result, the specter chopped off her limbs effortlessly like tofu, leaving Angelina raging and swearing. She struggled and rolled on the ground to reattach her limbs with great difficulty. She thought of seeking revenge, but the results were the same every time, where she either lost an arm or a leg. There was once when the specter had even slashed her head off. Those were some really terrible memories for Angelina.

And over time, she had gotten used to it.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

But it was a pity that Angelina’s tragic state didn’t garner the attention of Erin and the specter young lady. At that moment, they were glaring sternly at each other. Erin waved her sword gently like a fluttering butterfly, metamorphosing into streaks of beautiful arcs that swayed in midair. At a glance, the blade arcs looked like they were dancing lightly and gracefully. But the flashing sword lights and sparks proved that Erin wasn’t brandishing her sword at nothing.

On the other side, the specter young lady maneuvered in midair, as light as a feather. There were no drastic movements from her, but her right arm moved up and down from time to time. What astonished Erin more was that the moving arm seemed so slow, but the speed about her wrist was so fast that it was hard to discern, where not even Angelina could clearly witness the movement of the five glowing and slender fingers. Along with the specter’s action, Erin picked up her pace with her sword. She stared grimly at the specter as her sword constantly trembled and twisted as it slashed the air. Then...

Clang...!

In a loud collision, the specter young lady retreated quickly this time. The spiritual flames emanated from her cyan eyes dimmed greatly. Without any hesitation, Erin seized the opportunity and dashed, extending her left hand forward. The sword that she gripped in her right hand appeared on the left out of the blue. Then, she slashed a blinding blade of light.

It resembled a full moon: pure, soft, and fascinating.

The blade descended from above, sending a circular arc forward. Facing this all-out attack from Erin, the specter young lady revealed an unprecedented, imposing look in her eyes. She extended her right hand gradually, clenched her fist, and held the invisible sword before her. At the next moment, the attack of a formidable crescent landed.

Clang———!

The clash of swords was so loud that it brought along unprecedented seismic waves to the surroundings. Angelina’s vision blurred instantly. She took a few steps back dizzily and only barely returning to her senses after a few moments. The specter young lady apparently couldn’t resist this assault from Erin. She drifted back like a piece of paper, before landing on the ground powerlessly. Spiritual light dust scattered from her, making her seemingly even thinner.

(That’s Her Highness Erin for you! Is she done for?)

Looking at this scene, Angelina let down her guard and ran over hurriedly, gazing at the young lady and rejoicing in the joy of her misfortune. Angelina wasn’t worried about Erin being unable to deal with that annoying fellow. Erin wasn’t called the moon princess for nothing. She definitely wouldn’t have any issue dealing with a specter. Upon hearing Angelina’s question, Erin shook her head.

(No, I didn’t kill her. She is powerful, but I took advantage of the fact that she has been here for a long time and didn’t get to replenish her spiritual power. If she weren’t this weak, perhaps we would be 50-50 in terms of sword skills.)

Erin told the truth unabashedly. The invisible sword was indeed a huge trouble. Erin initially thought of relying upon her ability to gauge the length of the sword, but during the battle she was surprised that the sword shrunk and extended along with the holder’s emotions. It became as long as 30 meters and even as short as one meter. Despite that, the specter’s sword skills were limited. Normally, even if Erin were to wield an extendable sword, it would still be tough for her to put it to good use. But in the hands of the specter, the sword was as though an extension of her. The specter struck at Erin’s weaknesses smoothly. If it weren’t for the fact that Erin was powerful and the specter’s power had declined by a lot, perhaps Erin wouldn’t have won.

But now, it seemed like the trouble was resolved.

Rumbles...

At that moment, the sealed stone door opened gradually. Looking at this scene, Erin and Angelina couldn’t help but heave sigh of relief and scurry toward it. If Erin weren’t wrong, this should be the exit of the escape route.

As soon as we leave this place, we can escape the Darkness Capital!

As soon as we leave this place...

Leave this place...

...

Angelina and Erin gazed at the scenery ahead silently. After a few moments, Angelina turned to Erin hesitantly who stood beside her.

(Your Highness Erin, this doesn’t look like the exit...)

What stood before them wasn’t the exit they imagined, but a hidden chamber with its surroundings sealed off instead, and there didn’t seem to be any way out. A cyan stele was erected in the middle, with a translucent sword emanating a cyan radiance inside it. It was apparent that no matter from where they looked, this wasn’t the exit that they anticipated. It was simply a hidden chamber for storing precious treasures instead. But now, treasures were the least of their concerns!

(This really isn’t the exit...)

After scanning the place, Erin nodded helplessly. She didn’t find any symbols of the dragon race either. This hidden chamber seemed like a product from ancient times. Since this wasn’t the exit, they could only search for another exit all over again...

At that moment, in a chilly breeze, the specter young lady reappeared before them silently. She hovered beside the sword, staring at Erin and Angelina. She gazed at Erin with a heavy expression, before turning slightly to Angelina on the other side. Upon sensing her gaze, Angelina took two steps back and glared vigilantly.

“What are you looking at me for?!”

Facing Angelina’s snarls, the young lady didn’t seem to have any intention of responding. On the contrary, she suddenly vanished after a few moments, twisting and metamorphosing into a wisp of cyan smoke that fused with the cyan sword. Then, the sword inserted into the stele floated in midair and...

A dazzling ray of blade flashed.

Argh! Why am I so unlucky!

Angelina eyeballed the sword that pierced the ground beside her feet. Not only that, but she was also completely speechless after witnessing her reattached arm being severed yet again.
