Chapter 419 419: Righteous

It was just as Avilia had said. As soon as the swords came out, Gabriel could feel that the entire temperament of the two Envoys changed. Their movements were more Swift and more strength could be felt from them.

The two Envoys disappeared from their spot, appearing right before the little girl, blocking her path.

"You are strong," Ozen stated as his grip tightened around his sword. "Possibly stronger than anyone we have ever faced before. You deserve us going all out before you! However, that's the extent of how far you can go!"

He raised his sword, pointing it straight at the little girl in the distance. "Now that you've forced us to bring it out, this battle can only end with your death to make up for the waste..."

It was proving hard even for Gabriel to keep an eye on their movement. It was as if the two Envoys had speed that was comparable to the realm of teleportation the way they moved just now.

​ The little girl still didn't appear seriously, lazily yawning. "I feel so sleepy. I just want to take him with me and leave. Why does it have to be so hard?"

Seeing the girl underestimating him, even Ozen couldn't keep himself calm. Now that the sword was out, it was hard even for him to control his emotions, especially since there were too many restrictions and flaws on the Sword.

The world knew these swords as invincible, but only the people from the Temple of Time knew just how dangerous these swords actually were... Not just for the enemies but for the users as well.

Everytime the sword was called out, it took ten percent of the owner's life from them. In their entire life, a person could only use this Sword ten times! That's why everyone was so hesitant in calling the sword out as long as it wasn't absolutely necessary.

What was even worse was that everytime the sword was called out, it could only remain in the sword form for ten minutes. The live hourglass that was on the hilt of the sword showed those ten minutes passing away.

As soon as the hourglass was empty, the swords could only return to their crystal form.

The envoys didn't think that Alion was worth them calling out their swords. Even if they had to call out their swords, it had to be for the little girl for it to be justified!

Fortunately, this was exactly what Gabriel wanted them to do. He wanted them to underestimate Alion.

Now that there was only the Holy Lord of Flames left to stop Alion, it was time to end the charade.

Gabriel sent a message to Alion secretly, telling him to end this. Now that they had found a perfect distraction, they could easily leave the rest to the little girl. Who could be a better distraction than her in this situation.

As soon as Alion received the instructions, he prepared himself. This time, he didn't avoid the attack of the Holy Lord of Flames! In fact, he even lowered his defense so as to leave some more wounds.

After facing the attack, Alion coughed out a mouthful of blood. "Argh!I didn't expect you to be this strong! You destroyed all my defense and treasures! I can't last longer like this!"

He held his chest, coughing out more blood.

"If I wasn't injured, I would've killed you today! You all destroyed my plans today! Next time we meet, will be the day you die!"

After finishing his pretentious act, Alion weakly brought out a talisman that was given to him by Gabriel.

It was one of the thousand mile teleportation talisman that Gabriel stole from the Academy of Elements. By showing this talisman, it once again proved that Alion was the person who robbed the Academy, linking all pieces of puzzle to separate the Holy Lord of Light from the equation, proving Gabriel's innocence!

Seeing the Talisman, the Holy Lord of Flames was stunned.

"Yo-" He tried to stop Alion, but before he could even move, Alion used the talisman and disappeared.

"Holy Lord of Light! You destroyed my army! A righteous person like you can't be allowed to live! I'll kill you the next time I see you! You're my mortal enemy now!"

Only his voice was left behind along with his last warning

Watching the scene, even Gabriel was flabbergasted. This kind of overacting... Even he found it somewhat cringe. It was as if Alion was trolling him before leaving.

"Righteous... Hahaha." Even Avilia couldn't control her laughter any longer. Fortunately, no one heard her.

"Stop laughing!" Gabriel rolled his eyes, pinching Avilia's waist tightly, making Avilia cry lightly in pain.

In one end, Alion had already escaped, surprising the two Temple of Time envoys. They had only left for a few seconds and the one they wanted to capture already escaped! They were furious.

"You're useless! You couldn't even hold an injured weakling back? I should never have left this task to trash like you!"

The Holy Lord of Flame was also angry, being scolded like this. However, more than that, he was angry at himself. The person who destroyed his home escaped from right under his nose.

He couldn't let Alion escape. He knew that the talisman could only send a person upto thousand miles away. There was still a chance to catch up.

Without thinking twice, the Holy Lord of Flames selected a random direction and flew as fast as possible. He also created many more flame clones, sending them all in different directions to find 'injured' Alion.

On the other side, the little girl was looking at everyone weirdly. They were calling Alion weak? Did they all lose their minds? She also couldn't understand why Alion left, instead of killing them all.

Despite her strength, the little girl couldn't understand human schemes and treachery.

"Now that your friend escaped, you are our last clue! Don't even think about escaping!!!"

With Alion's departure, everyone's attention was now on the little girl.

Gabriel felt somewhat bad for using the girl like that, but he still didn't interfere. He had a feeling that even with the sword, they weren't a match for the little girl who could even intimidate Alion. She was also from the era of gods after all.

The little girl didn't even bother with the people before her and turned around, trying to find the new location of Alion.

Unfortunately, the two Envoys thought that she was also trying to escape and attacked her.

Ozen appeared right before the girl, thrusting his sword.

His sword stabbed right through the chest of the little girl. The attack was successful. However, Ozen's expressions didn't look pleasant. Instead, he was even more disturbed.
