Chapter 19

The Ethereal Kingdom

We entered the area, it was about midnight, and we parked our carriage near the village houses and the palace. I wore a cloak and some ethereal armour, the troops wore some robes and some armour as well, and Chandrelle wore a pristine white mage dress.

We hurried to the centre of the villages, we were carrying the ‘packages’ which were really explosives.

“~uh… this is heavy.” Someone grumbled.

As far as I know, these soldiers were very strong, they’re must be some sort of weird presence.

We plant the explosives. A few villagers look on, I feel quite sorry for them. Maybe if we evacuate them, than we won’t lose countless lives.

I really want to, but… It would jeopardize the plan. Chandrelle senses what I’m thinking and looks sad.

As we walk off, the sound of the village combusts overwhelms us. My soldiers quickly flank from the east as we head in north.

“It can’t be…” said Zhu Yun.

The soldiers tried to shoot her, bullets resounded, but nothing happened.

No way could some mortals attack her.

I pull out the Cryofixation Runic Sword, it can attack without stabbing, and its blade is pure liquid blue. She gasps in pain.

“Run!”

Chandrelle uses her [Spirit] magic.

A thousand arrows pierce through the dark building.

She dodges them. I jump towards her, and slash the sword down, landing a 50-hit combo, she doesn’t even flinch.

She simply releases her sword and all my soldiers collapse. I try to hit her, Chandrelle uses her most powerful strikes. I need to turn into my demon Qianlong form, like Chunhua told me so. Chunhua… she’s falling prey to the...
