Chapter 95: Chapter Ninety-Four: Pointless Sacrifice (Fourth Update)

Owen Bertram and the Mechanical Dao Soldiers rushed up together. Owen had secretly opened the wooden bottle tied to his waist, and the Sword Pills shot out.

Thud—

Although the Sword Pills still pierced through everything in their way, the damage they inflicted upon the Battle Demon’s enchanted armor was quite limited. The Battle Demon was only left with a deep hole in its arm, leaving it temporarily unable to move. Meanwhile, the other five arms swung their heavy weapons down at once.

Boom, boom, boom...

Owen Bertram and the Mechanical Dao Soldiers retreated again and again, feeling as though their internal organs were burning. Blood seeped from the corner of Owen’s mouth.

Fortunately, the Peach of Response emitted a refreshing wave of spiritual energy that healed their injuries.

The Mechanical Dao Soldiers were in an even more miserable state; one of their arms was broken, and half of the armor on their body was shattered!

The demon’s essence said leisurely, "You’re right. We can skip this pointless testing of each other. You’ve used all your tricks. This battle can come to an end now. I have important things to do."

The Battle Demon charged up its weapons and sprinted forward as the earth quaked with each step it took.

Owen Bertram took a deep breath, determination shimmering in his eyes. The demon’s essence claimed that he had used all his methods, but that wasn’t true.

...

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow stood ten miles away.

She constantly recalled Owen’s words, "Your family has gone to great lengths to raise you, and they still want to share their lives with you. You have to consider them. You can’t let elderly parents send their children off to death."

"This has nothing to do with Uncle Yao and the others. There’s no reason for you to die for them."

"Listen, go back immediately and contact the Horizon Bureau for support."

The demon’s essence was too strong. Owen’s return would only be a pointless sacrifice.

"That guy really has a clear view of everything, but... he went back himself."

The further Vanessa was from Extinct Village, the more dejected she felt.

Why, even though she made the right decision, did she feel as if something was missing?

Was it because of that Trial Training General? What a joke, he was just an ordinary subordinate.

"Relying on my own efforts, I’ve condensed the miraculous Heterotext, and my prospects for Cultivation are excellent. Soon, the entire Waves Prefecture will know that the former number-one Fairy has returned!"

Seeing those shallow people who thought they had surpassed her becoming tongue-tied in front of her would feel so exhilarating.

That beautiful future lay ahead, just waiting for her to seize it.

But she didn’t feel excited; her mood just sank further and further.

"Ah—!" Vanessa screamed, kicking a nearby rock to pieces like a madwoman. Then, as if her body were no longer under her control, she slowly turned around, clenched her fists, and soared back toward Extinct Village.

"That’s right, he did say that I’m softhearted, sigh..."

Finding an excuse she could accept, she didn’t want to investigate why she had to go back any further.

She took a sandalwood box from her Storage Brocade Pouch and opened it to reveal a golden, glowing jade talisman.

Profound spiritual scripts were engraved on the talisman’s surface, and the eight-sided talisman emanated a faint golden wave of light.

She urged it with her spiritual energy, and the Jade Talisman rose into the air, slowly descending from above her head to merge with her.

When they were in the village, and they faced several desperate situations, she had already prepared to use the Jade Talisman to help Owen. However, that guy always surprisingly relied on his own abilities to break through each time.

This Jade Talisman can only be used once, granting her the power of The Second Level for a brief period; it was crafted by a powerful talisman master and purchased by her father after much effort and the spending of thousands of Spirit Jade.

Among the younger generation of the Devin Clan, only she possessed one.

It was something meant to save one’s life.

With the Jade Talisman merging into her body, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow could feel one of her Heterotext quickly converge into a Responsive Object, and then break through the threshold of The Second Level, igniting dozens of Spiritual Cavities.

Gently raising her hand, the remaining Jade Sword rose and floated, as Vanessa boldly stepped into Burning Hillock!

...

The giant chain hammer fell with a heavy evil energy, and from a distance, a green radiance suddenly appeared, striking the Chain Lock of the hammer with a ’ping’ sound. The giant hammerhead lost control and went flying somewhere unknown.

The green sword light circled around, aiming for the eyes of the Battle Demon.

A thick evil energy materialized out of nowhere, forming a force field in front of the Battle Demon. The Jade Sword struggled to rotate and advance the seven feet through it, slowing down gradually. The Battle Demon roared angrily, waved its Shield, and sent the Jade Sword flying far away.

Owen Bertram looked back in surprise, watching Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow come in wearing Horizon Bureau’s heroic uniform. At the same time, her hand sent out a spiritual light, shouting, "Earth Binding!"

The spiritual light fell on the Battle Demon’s feet, and the ground immediately turned into quicksand, with the Battle Demon sinking to its waist.

However, the Demon’s core, located behind it, scoffed: "What’s the point?"

What did it matter to add someone of the Second Great Realm? The outcome of this battle wouldn’t change at all.

Owen Bertram frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Vanessa furrowed her brow and scolded: "Presumptuous! Trial Training General Owen Bertram, do you dare question the decision of the Chief Flag?"

Owen Bertram: "..."

God damn this logic! At this moment, you’re posing as the higher officer with me?! Your mindset as my superior, indeed, seems to be quite different from ordinary people.

Vanessa consecutively cast several Divine Skills, causing the Battle Demon to be suddenly attacked, and for a moment, it was somewhat passive. These Divine Skills could not be performed under Vanessa’s original realm, but now they were readily available.

She felt the powerful strength of The Second Level within her Ignition Acupoint Level and found that her Spiritual Energy flowed smoothly, rolling like a Great River, which was incredibly refreshing.

"Moon Frost Falling Blade!" With her clear shout, a sky full of silvery radiance gathered into numerous crescent-shaped sharp blades, whizzing down towards the Battle Demon.

The Battle Demon roared angrily, shaking its body without concerning itself with the blades. It then swept its Giant Sword with a single swipe of its claw, and Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow went flying...

Rage surged in Owen Bertram’s eyes; initially hesitant, he now cast aside all concerns and let his Commander’s Token rush out, followed by himself charging forward as well. With a flick of his hand, the Chain Lock rattled and unfurled, slithering like a snake. It weaved around the Battle Demon, ensnaring several of its claws, and Owen himself pulled hard on the chain.

Rattle!

The Chain Lock tightened, locking together the six arms of the Battle Demon.

The Commander’s Token slammed down on its head - smack!

Roaring with rage, the Battle Demon struggled against the chains with its six arms, breaking them with a "snap!" The iron rings exploded and flew!

Owen Bertram was also sent flying by this terrifying power. Before he could land, the furious Battle Demon hurled its Giant Sword at him.

Hum-

The Giant Sword shot through the air, Owen Bertram was unable to dodge. Mechanical Dao Soldiers leaped up and struck the Giant Sword with their sabre!

Overwhelming Blood Evil Spirit burst out, and with a ’ping’ the sabre broke. The Giant Sword changed direction, embedded itself deeply into the ground beside Owen Bertram.
