Chapter 577: Chapter 415 Moon God’s Mercy (4)

Angelica was obedient.

Really, since she had been by Qin Chu’s side, she had almost never been angry and had always been happy with a bright smile on her face. Her smile even had a mysterious infectious quality that made anyone who saw Angelica feel quite good.

But now, Angelica was angry.

The basket was filled with the freshest vegetables and the finest beef that Angelica had carefully selected, all specially prepared for her master in the hope that he could enjoy his favorite food when he returned.

But now, all of that had been ruined by these people.

The fresh beef inside was burned to charcoal, scattered on the ground.

Her eyes, filled with anger, stared dead at the leader of the Holy Knights; did this despicable bastard have any idea how long and hard she had worked to select these vegetables and meats?

A pair of soft golden eyes radiated a bone-chilling coldness.

But the opposing leader did not take Angelica’s angry gaze seriously and still, unknowingly, blurted out, "See, Angelica..."

"If you do not surrender, the next sword strike will land directly on you."

The leader was smug, full of confidence.

In his view, Angelica was merely struggling in vain.

After all, they had several dozen strong men on their side; taking down Angelica, a weak maid, was a piece of cake.

Although Angelica’s strength was somewhat beyond expectation, the leader still did not believe that his side would lose.

If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t just kill Angelica outright as there were concerns, this woman would not have lasted until now; she would’ve already been killed.

But if Angelica continued to refuse to surrender, then it might be necessary to take a slightly heavier hand next time—at the very least, cripple the woman’s legs to prevent her from escaping, right?

However, what the leader did not know was that since the previous incident, Angelica’s strength had grown stronger every day, always teetering on the edge of a breakthrough to the realm of Great Sage. It was possible that she could reach that new level any day.

For Angelica, what might be missing was just a little push.

And now, the push had arrived.

Watching Angelica stand there shaking, seemingly still.

Thinking Angelica was frightened, the leader carelessly waved his finger, signaling his subordinates to go up and tie Angelica up.

But just at that moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared.

Angelica’s body grew brighter and brighter, as if all the moonlight of the entire city was gathering on her, amidst the seeming mist that swirled and drifted around.

Crack... crack... crack...

The strange sound, like glass shattering, kept emanating from Angelica’s body.

In stark contrast to the brightness on Angelica’s body, the rest of the Imperial City seemed to plunge into boundless darkness, where one could not see beyond their hand.

Moonlight was crazily pouring into Angelica’s body, transforming into her energy.

The barrier within her that had already been teetering on the brink finally reached its limit at this moment.

With a crack, the barrier completely shattered.

Subsequently, Angelica’s body seemed to transform into a vast vortex, swallowing copious amounts of moonlight with an almost greedy voracity.

Even behind Angelica, a vague, graceful silhouette appeared.

In the dim visibility, one could even hear a hint of silvery, bell-like laughter.

As the host’s strength increased and the restrictions were lifted, she could also come out for a bit of fresh air.

Hum...

At the same time, a wave of impact spread out at that moment, and the Holy Knight who had just approached Angelica with chains to bind her was violently thrown back by the shock.

The hard metal armor on his body instantly shattered, and his chest caved in.

Even the leader himself seemed unable to withstand that power, stumbling backward.

The black mask on his face flew off, revealing a face full of beard, his eyes filled with fear and shock.

He could clearly feel the pressure emanating from Angelica’s body climbing steadily.

His heart felt as if it was gripped by a terrifying force, twisting into a knot, writhing.

His throat emitted a cry like a wounded animal.

Great Sage... this... this is the unique pressure of a Great Sage.

Had Angelica, this woman, actually broken through to the realm of the Great Sage at this moment?

The leader almost fainted on the spot, thinking whether this moment was terribly unlucky? Was all this just because he smashed Angelica’s vegetable basket?

He had been full of confidence just moments ago, never really considering Angelica a threat, but now he was overwhelmed by intense fear.

Watching as Angelica’s aura expanded by the second, the leader wanted to retreat, but for them, the moment they began their action, there was no chance to back down.

Not to mention the wrath of Kain and Galbraith, once Angelica reported this affair to Qin Chu, with Qin Chu’s character, he definitely wouldn’t let them off.

Now, the only option was to capture Angelica at all costs.

While Angelica was in the process of breaking through, they forcefully interrupted the process.

"Stop fucking running..." the leader roared deeply, preventing those who wanted to escape, his face twisted like that of a ferocious beast, "Everyone together, take her down, or we all die."

After a bellow, the leader charged forward, his body’s fiery Fighting Energy pushed to an unprecedented limit.

Taking the intense pressure head-on, he rushed directly in front of Angelica. Holding the sword hilt tightly with both hands, it made a sharp screeching sound as the blade swept through the air, aiming to possibly split Angelica in half if it hit, or at the very least disrupt Angelica’s process of becoming a Great Sage.

However...

Bang... Screech!

Just as the Two-Handed Heavy Sword was about to hit Angelica, the slender body above it suddenly expanded with brilliant moonlight.

The sharp and heavy blade seemed to have struck a huge stone or a lump of hard metal.

A series of sparks burst instantaneously, and the blade vibrated violently, buzzing.

The leader even felt his palms shattering, blood gushing forth.

The attack, fierce as it was, did absolutely no damage to Angelica.

Not only that, but this attack seemed to have fully awakened Angelica.

Her eyes had turned completely silver, even her lush, long eyelashes and the frost-white traces spreading rapidly along her lush, green hair, reaching the tips in an instant.

Silver hair wildly dancing in the night sky.

In that moment, bathed in moonlight, Angelica seemed like a goddess descending from the moon, filled with a heart-shaking beauty.

But within this beauty also lurked a despair-inducing terror.

Her two delicate hands slowly spread out, and behind Angelica, the ethereal silhouette became clearer and more pronounced.

The silhouette’s hands also opened, but in its palms, a silver longbow slowly emerged, with moonlight serving as the arrows.

This scene was bizarre to the extreme—wasn’t Angelica a Magician? Even if she was advancing, shouldn’t she follow the path of the Great Sage?

What’s with holding a bow?

They didn’t have much time to ponder this anomaly.

"Mercy of the Moon God!"

The next instant...

Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A dense shower of Light Arrows, like raindrops, fell from the sky.

The arrows possessed an almost terrifying penetrating power.

In an instant, screams rose and fell in succession.

Bright red blood sprayed out, and the thick scent of blood began to spread in the air like smoke.

Helmets on heads, Battle Armor on bodies, and long swords in hands—when facing these arrows, were as fragile as tofu, leaving bodies riddled with smooth blood holes, from which crimson liquid gushed.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was filled with bodies riddled with wounds.

This was the gap between a Great Sage and Level 79.

Before, Angelica could only barely hold on against these assailants, but once she broke through this limit, the situation was reversed instantly, turning formidable enemies into instant kills.

Only the leader, the strongest among them, managed to hold on, but just barely.

His Two-Handed Heavy Sword nearly swung to its limit, his body almost enveloped in a red glow, with continuous thudding noises as one Light Arrow after another shattered against it.

But every impact from the arrows made it unbearable for the leader, forcing him to continually retreat, retreat, retreat.

Both his arms were nearly completely numb, but the leader dared not slack off even a fraction of a second slower in his movements, or the Light Arrows would ruthlessly pierce his body.

Bang...

The Two-Handed Heavy Sword blocked another Light Arrow strike.

But this time, the sword also reached its limit, and with a sharp snap, the Two-Handed Sword cracked apart.

The leader’s expression changed as he inwardly cursed, and he just thought to widen the gap between him and Angelica, but it was already too late.

With a hiss, a Light Arrow pierced right through the bend of the leader’s right leg, shattering his knee instantly, a scream escaping him as he uncontrollably fell to his knees.

The pain twisted the leader’s face to a monstrous degree.

Before he could rise from the ground, his back was already riddled with numerous dense holes.

Blood foamed continuously from his mouth as his body convulsed on the ground, motionless.

With a wave of her hand, moonlight in the sky coalesced into a long chain that, like a snake, coiled toward the ground, binding all the corpses together. Angelica did not return to the palace but instead headed directly towards the Holy Court.

A large bundle of bodies dragged across the ground, leaving behind long trails of blood.

These people, though already dead, might be of great use to her master, right?
