Chapter 252: Angel of Radiant Wings (1)
Demphis and the four governors, or rather, the four elders of the Twilight Order, were locked in fierce battle throughout Strauss Fortress against the aura users of the Strauss family. The four elders were legendary monsters in their own right as archliches and masters of the ninth circle. However, the Strauss knights were no easy opponents either.Among them, Tirafar in particular was fighting an exceptionally difficult battle. He was facing none other than Kairon, one of the strongest warriors in the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
His skeletal hands swept through the air, weaving magic as he drew a dark formation. "Serpent of eight heads, sink your fangs of death into my enemy!"
Eight streaks of darkness shot forth like arrows from the black magic circle. Kairon kept his gaze fixated on the oncoming dark serpents and swung his silver blade in response.
—Delphiad Swordsmanship: Storm King’s Barrage!
It was one of the secret techniques of the Strauss family, a technique often favored by present Leven as well. It unfolded through the blade of the silver knight, and as expected, its power was on a completely different level from Leven’s. With nine consecutive strikes, he shattered all of the serpents’ heads. Then, he continued his assault and charged straight for Tirafar.
Ah! Tirafar turned deathly pale as he hurriedly cast a defensive spell. Of course, he wasn’t actually pale, since being pale or flushed was only a feeling for a skeleton, but still.
"Shield of the Blood God!"
The silver blade hammered relentlessly against the blood-red shield. Even though he had deployed the barrier with full force, cracks spiderwebbed across it, and his whole body trembled under the relentless assault.
The strikes pierced him down to the bone—though in fairness, bone was all he had left. Though the thought was long, it all happened in an instant.
With a thunderous crash, Tirafar was flung backward. In other words, he had survived Kairon’s assault. Had Kairon’s aura blade pierced him, he wouldn’t have been knocked away. He would have been turned into a skeletal skewer.
Tirafar clicked his nonexistent tongue while trembling. Though he was still a skeleton, at least he had teeth. This one is truly formidable.
