Chapter 1761 - 1187: I Will Never Cross Swords With You Again (Part 2)
Especially when Yanifet returned, with overwhelming power flattening the entire Tistis royal family, even knocking down the extraordinarily talented female Martial God, Charity’s hand holding the sword was no longer as composed as before, but instead clutched it like a final lifeline, constantly revealing the obsession within her heart.
As a result, upon coming to the Hidden Land this time, the moment they reached the destination, Charity broke away from the team.
Ignoring the companions from the same organization acting together, even disregarding the "Fire Princess" who had always followed her in the past, Charity disappeared without a trace, her whereabouts unknown.
Thus, he ignored the dissuasion of "Fire Princess" and others and chased after Charity alone.
He guessed Charity’s true purpose for this trip, knowing that she had left the task to her companions.
And Charity herself wanted to take this opportunity to battle Reiger once more.
Having guessed this, he made up his mind to stop this fight.
For there was no other reason.
He simply felt that in this battle, Charity was very likely to lose.
And once lost, the obsession in Charity’s heart might not dissipate but grow even stronger.
At that time, the name Reiger Brillhaut might truly become an indelible mark in her heart.
Thinking of this, he could no longer care about anything else, only wishing to stop this battle from happening.
Such a future was absolutely not one he wanted to see.
However, in Charity’s eyes, he never existed; they always fixated on Reiger, her icy gaze releasing determination.
Facing such a Charity, Reiger no longer felt the thrill of being able to engage in battle with a formidable enemy, instead, he furrowed his brow.
"I will not duel with you again."
Reiger shook his head as he spoke these words.
That day, the sword duel in the queen’s courtyard not only affected Charity but also left a significant impact on Reiger.
As intoxicating as that sword duel was, afterward, Reiger’s heart filled with regret and anger.
For this, his mindset became unbalanced that day; if not for Liz and Yuloli beside him, soothing the void in his heart, he might have long dismembered "Chiryo."
Even so, after that sword duel, Reiger immediately performed Dimensional Travel, heading to another world.
After maneuvering through several worlds, Reiger finally forgot about that day and was no longer affected mentally.
However, because of this, Reiger had become less interested in another sword duel.
It could be said that since the duel that day was hindered, he no longer wished to have any interaction with Charity, in stark contrast to Charity’s obsession.
One wanted to forget, not wanting a second time.
The other cherished the memory, yearning to continue that battle from that day.
Thus, the two formed two parallel lines that did not intersect, resulting in no tense atmosphere but rather distancing between them because of Reiger’s attitude.
Charity seemed to sense this, her icy eyes rarely showing a hint of anxiety.
"You must duel with me."
Charity said, word by word.
"Why?"
Reiger looked at her coldly.
"Don’t you want to know why we appeared here or what we’re doing here?"
Anyone could understand what Charity implied.
"As long as you defeat me, I’ll tell you everything."
Charity’s words shocked "Chiryo."
"Ice Queen...!"
He hastily tried to get up.
"Shut up."
Charity uttered words of endurance to the limit, suddenly slashing a sword in Chiryo’s direction.
"Boom!"
Amidst the rumbling of the atmosphere, the chilling aura that permeated the arena suddenly erupted, concentrated on this one slash, transforming into a torrent of extreme cold that swept toward "Chiryo" as Charity swung her hand.
Where the cold current passed, the ground and atmosphere instantly froze into ice, forming a magnificent ice mountain in an instant, like a blooming giant ice flower, suddenly appearing under the moonlit night.
"...!"
"Chiryo" seemed utterly unprepared for Charity’s direct attack, his face frozen in shock, encased within the glacier.
Beside him, Reiger’s frown deepened even more.
He was not far from "Chiryo."
After all, he had been pummeling the person up close, and when Charity appeared, he simply released his grip, allowing the opponent to slump beside him.
Hence, Charity’s casually swung sword also somewhat affected Reiger.
With [Limitless Sorcery]’s immunity, Reiger was naturally not injured by the blow, but he keenly sensed that the power of Charity’s sword seemed to have increased quite a bit.
Immediately, Reiger turned his gaze to the sword in Charity’s hand.
Now, he understood that this sword was not only the Tistis family’s National Guardian Divine Weapon passed down through generations but also an Asura Sword forged after the model of the Three Holy Swords.
Although unlike the true Holy Sword with the power to cleave through worlds, the Asura Sword differed only by a peculiar iron formed by Dimension Energy when compared to the real one.
In other aspects, be it craftsmanship, the crafting process, or the materials needed for crafting, they bore no difference from the true Holy Sword.
Therefore, though it’s just an Asura Sword, this Ice Holy Sword’s power is likewise extraordinary, surpassing any weapon on the Akasha continent.
Even within the Source World, there are only six Asura Swords equivalent to this one, with only the true Three Holy Swords surpassing it.
As such, among the predecessors who held this sword, how many have been able to unleash its true power remains a mystery.
And clearly, Charity’s compatibility with this Asura Sword seems higher than before.
This means that this female Martial God can unleash more of the Ice Holy Sword’s power, making her threat greater than before.
"Duel with me."
Charity once again pointed the sword tip at Reiger, her tone icy yet filled with deep determination.
If it had been before, knowing Charity had grown stronger, Reiger might indeed stir some interest.
But now, he truly had no interest in Charity.
"If you don’t want to talk, I can ask him."
Reiger turned his back on Charity, facing the frozen "Chiryo," speaking indifferently.
"After all, I have ways to make him speak."
Speaking, Reiger snapped his fingers.
"Mm..."
Frozen inside the glacier, "Chiryo" was instantly relocated out, once again landing heavily before Reiger, letting out a muffled groan.
Reiger grabbed "Chiryo’s" collar with one hand, preparing to leave directly.
He planned not to give Charity time to react, whether by activating teleportation magic or moving at high speed, both could allow him to leave in the blink of an eye, making it impossible for anyone to catch up.
But Reiger seemed to have forgotten that the icy Martial God possessed exceptional intuition.
Even with Reiger’s speed and quick actions, just as his words fell, Charity foresaw his departure.
"Don’t think so!"
Charity’s voice suddenly rose, her reaction extremely intense.
"Boom!"
Without any hesitation, Charity raised the Inheritance Sword high, slashing down, instantly stirring up a fierce icy wind engulfing the area.
"Boom——"
The far more violent icy wind, like an abrupt blizzard, froze everything in its path.
Thus opened an icy expanse, where even ice pillars rose accordingly, turning the area into a forest of ice.
"Swish!"
Reiger, holding "Chiryo" by the collar, retreated swiftly from the chaotic icy wind as if teleporting.
In front of him, Charity, wielding the Inheritance Sword...
