"This is now the territory of the Erune Kingdom, beneath the trade port of Ambeser, Sir Knight," came the voice of Princess Griffith: "This is already the year 376 of the First Epoch."
"Has the Chaos Era ended?" the Lightning Girl murmured to herself: "Do the Divine People still exist on the Earth?"
"Divine People?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, what kind of term was this? Even for the players, it was something that only existed in legends.
Owena saw their expressions and understood what was happening. However, there was no sorrow or joy on her face, she simply replied, "I see, I understand."
She raised her head and replied, "You said you want to gain the recognition of the Sky Blue Spear, it’s simple, just defeat me."
Defeat you?
Brand almost choked on his own saliva, after all, she was a legendary hero of classical level who shattered the Sky Dome and ushered in a new epoch. It is said that the Sky Blue Knight was a hero from the era before the destruction of Babel Fortress, almost certainly possessing the Power of Existence, and even in that terrifying era, her power was of the highest level.
This gives a sense of how terrifying the power of the Lightning Girl truly is.
Even though it was known that obtaining the Sky Blue Spear was not an easy task—after all, Amber Sword is first and foremost a game, and since it’s a game, there can’t be a free lunch—Brand did not expect the terms of this ’instance’ to be so simple yet so demanding.
Just defeat the Heroic Spirit of the Sky Blue Knight.
The question is, is that even possible?
Brand could roughly gauge from her previous strike that even with his peak power in the game, combined with the help of the entire Greyshus Knights’ other top-tier players, he might not be able to face this Lightning Girl.
He couldn’t help but wonder, asking: "Lord, may I know, how much of your strength does your Heroic Spirit have compared to when you were alive?"
Owena smiled slightly: "You’re smart, human, to think of gauging your opponent’s strength first. But I’m afraid my answer will disappoint you. As long as I’m in this hall, my power is equivalent to my power at my peak."
Everyone felt as if they had been punched in the face.
Macaro and others couldn’t help but cast their eyes towards the Legendary Wizard from the Silver Alliance, but William could only smile wryly. Though his strength was close to the peak of the Mortal World, it was not enough in the face of the Power of Existence.
He shook his head, there was no chance of success.
"This is too much." Princess Griffith was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but frown and replied, "Lord, how could anyone possibly defeat you?"
"Little Half-Elf girl, if you can’t defeat me, what qualifications do you have to use my Weapon?" The Lightning Girl replied with a slight smile.
But Brand frowned, unlike everyone else, he immediately sensed something wrong with the conditions.
A game could not possibly set an unachievable condition.
The Princess asked well, who can defeat the Sky Blue Knight? Not to mention the people present, even in his era, which player dared to claim to be able to defeat the Sky Blue Knight?
Or to extend further, as long as the Power of Existence cannot be mastered, victory is impossible.
He instantly sensed a trick inside.
He looked up, only to see a pair of eyes also watching him. Those were black eyes tinged with a hint of pale purple luster, under slender eyebrows, accompanied by beautiful black hair, highlighting a heroic face.
The Female Knight stared at him, the meaning in her eyes was already clear.
But she still mouthed a reminder: "Verbal trap."
Brand immediately realized, he barely had time to think why Nemesia would suddenly think of this problem. But he had already looked up to ask Owena: "Sir Knight, you said as long as you’re in this hall, your strength is equivalent to your power at your peak?"
The Lightning Girl was stunned, looking at him.
Brand had already understood: "Sir Knight, as long as we defeat you, we can gain the recognition of the Sky Blue Spear?"
"Yes." Owena nodded.
"That’s good." Brand suddenly leaped back and shouted to Char beside him: "Char, Dragon Strike Technique!"
The young Wizard’s Attendant understood his Lord’s intent the moment he spoke, for since in this hall Owena was invincible, they need only change the battlefield. He stretched out his hand to the ground, the aura of Law Magic instantly gathered in his palm, dazzling and brilliant—
"What do you intend to do!"
Owena raised an eyebrow made of lightning, followed by a surge of anger rising to her face: "I despise opportunistic people!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure vanished completely from everyone’s sight, and then Roman’s scream came: "Brand, behind you!"
Brand felt a chill in his heart because an average person in this situation would first attack Char, to cancel his Spell. But Owena evidently saw through his relationship with Char, in other words, she knew he was a Travel Mage.
Brand felt a chill on his back, he didn’t even have any resistance, a cold hand—as if not made of lightning—had already gripped his back.
"Order him to stop!" The voice of the Lightning Girl was chilling.
"No, Char, cast the Spell! There’s some Law constraint here, she can’t harm anyone!" Brand immediately shouted.
Owena was slightly taken aback: "...How do you know?"
Brand smiled smugly: "Because you stabbed me once earlier, didn’t you forget?"
"You noticed?" The Lightning Girl’s eyes, almost platinum-colored, showed an expression of disbelief: "You have some cunning, but do you think this leaves me without a plan?"
Brand saw a proud, cold smile emerge on Owena’s face, and he knew something was wrong. Following her gaze, he saw that the light column of Dragon Strike Technique in Char’s hand had already been cast, striking the ground. This hall, having withstood countless ages and already fragile, shattered under the single strike, about to collapse.
But at this moment, Owena coldly said: "Power of Destiny, Historical Reversal."
Just eight words.
Then a miracle happened.
