Chapter 68: Chapter 58: This Sword Pierces Through the Stars! (Please follow and read)

After so long, Catherine finally appeared.

They say the power of the Crimson Valkyrie is truly exaggerated.

One must know that outside the Oville headquarters of the Holy Court, there is a layer of formidable Barrier protecting it, and now Catherine must be attacking the Barrier. Yet that strength, still penetrating like a tsunami, swept over the entire area, and even the walls of the Church were covered in cracks.

This is the strength of the Crimson Valkyrie. With Qin Chu’s current resources, it’s really difficult to contend against her.

The smile at the corner of his mouth quickly disappeared as Qin Chu’s gaze darted around, "What’s that noise?"

"Could it be that demons have invaded the city?"

Augustus’s complexion was also full of gloom.

It was impossible for demons to easily invade the Imperial City; it was humans.

But for someone to brazenly attack the Holy Court’s church, that was the same as directly slapping the Pope in the face. How could he bear it?

Rose Vesper was also full of shock. As a member of the Hero Team, she sensed even before Augustus did—that it was Catherine’s strength.

She didn’t understand. What possessed Catherine to directly attack the Holy Court?

Had she gone mad?

...

Donning armor and wielding the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword, Catherine stood like a stiff puppet.

She learned of Qin Chu’s whereabouts from the guards at the palace gates.

That man, along with Nicholas and a large contingent of soldiers, had gone to the Holy Court.

Hehe...

What a cunning fellow indeed.

That bastard must have guessed she would seek revenge. That’s why he had taken people to the Holy Court, seeking Augustus’s protection, right?

It was a decent strategy.

A member of the Hero Team, the Crimson Valkyrie... it sounded like a resounding title, and the power was formidable. But compared to a behemoth like the Holy Court, she, Catherine was after all just a tiny insect.

But if Qin Chu thought he could survive by doing this, he was sorely mistaken.

Ignoring everyone’s weird stares, Catherine just dragged her Flame Extreme Heavy Sword step by step toward the Holy Court, splitting the smooth street neatly in half as she went.

The soldiers patrolling the street wanted to stop her, but when they saw Catherine’s dark eyes, they immediately got goosebumps all over and didn’t dare to utter a word.

Upon arriving in front of the Holy Court, gazing at the Barrier covering the entirety of the Oville Headquarters, Catherine’s face only revealed a trace of cold smile.

The next second, she raised her Heavy Sword for the first time.

Amidst the puzzled and astonished looks of the nearby Holy Knights, scarlet flames enveloped Catherine’s entire body!

She looked like a witch reborn from flames, radiating intense heat. The terrifying high temperature even melted the stone plates beneath her feet, causing layers of distorted haze to rise into the air.

Her crimson hair, stirred by the waves of fire, fluttered behind her as the scarlet flames rapidly spread to the tips of her hair.

Catherine clearly didn’t care about anything anymore. The Fighting Energy within her body surged wildly. She didn’t care if it would deplete or what kind of destruction this sword would bring. The fiery Energy, flowing along her arms like two giant serpents, entwined around the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword.

Driven by the Fighting Energy, the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword seemed to be expanding continuously.

The translucent sword shadow had already spread to dozens of meters in length, turning into a colossal entity.

"Catherine, what do you think you’re doing..." a captain of the Holy Knight Order trembled as he shouted sternly.

He was afraid.

After the full explosion of the Crimson Valkyrie’s power, it was too terrifying. The oppressive terror nearly made him breathless. He couldn’t have imagined in his dreams that someone would dare to come here and cause trouble without fearing death.

"This is the Oville Headquarters of the Holy Court, not a place for you to run wild. If you know what’s good for you, back off now. His Holiness the Pope, in his mercy, might still forgive your grave sin."

He hoped to make Catherine feel fear by invoking the names of the Holy Court and the Pope.

But his plan had failed.

There was no change in Catherine’s expression. Her lips held a cold and crazy smile. The next moment, Catherine’s hands pressed down fiercely.

"Star Break!"

A buzzing sound...

The forty-meter sword shadow instantly tore through the air.

The entire world visible before her was split in two in that instant.

"Fuck..."

A group of Holy Knights had forgotten the morals that bound them, cursing aloud.

Not a single one dared to directly face the power of Star Break, each of them scattering to the sides as quickly as possible.

The next instant, the sword shadow struck the Barrier.

Instantly, a thunderous noise spread through heaven and earth, audible to almost everyone in the Imperial City, this earth-shattering sound.

Flames spread across the Barrier, dyeing it a crimson hue.

Energy dispersed along the ground, transforming into a terrifying shockwave; Holy Knights who had dodged the direct attack of Star Break were swept up by the blast, their bodies instantly flung through the air, tumbling over and over before crashing to the ground after what seemed like an eternity.

Nearby buildings crumbled instantly under the sword shadow, and the floor tiles below couldn’t withstand such strength; a gigantic depression tens of meters wide and several meters deep appeared between Catherine and the Holy Court, with the tiles on either side flying up as gruesome cracks spread like a spiderweb.

The might of a single sword was terrifying to such an extent.

Is this the strength of the Valkyrie?

If it weren’t for the Barrier, this one sword would likely have pierced through the entire Oville Headquarters.

Even the tall city walls would have collapsed under this sword, split in two.

Looking at the Barrier again, as it trembled violently, tiny cracks appeared on it... Within a few seconds, the cracks started to heal. Indeed, the Holy Court’s most powerful Defense was aberrant.

Catherine cracked a smile, not surprised by this outcome, as she hadn’t expected to shatter the Barrier with one blow.

But ah, she is the Crimson Valkyrie.

If once isn’t enough, then ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, there will be a time when it breaks.

Upon the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword, a crimson light emerged once more.

At this moment, a group of figures appeared from within the Church Court, led by none other than Pope Augustus himself.

But at this very moment, Catherine paid no heed to Augustus.

Her gaze was fixed solely on the man behind Augustus, Qin Chu... Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling a strange joy.

Is it joy because she finally gets to kill him?

After all, it was this bastard who had pushed her into the Abyss!

Augustus had left the Barrier, and even Qin Chu had already stepped out from it.

All the rage, all the hatred, all the despair, at this moment turned into a raging inferno, the fierce flames leaping in her pupils.

It seems like Rose Vesper is shouting at her?

Augustus seems to have said something...

But, Catherine had already ignored everyone else.

In this instant, in her eyes, there was only Qin Chu.

Every bit of strength in her body, every corner, every iota was mobilized by Catherine at this moment, with not the slightest left over; all her strength was poured into the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword.

The Flame Extreme seemed unable to bear it, its body quivering violently, buzzing loudly.

At the tip of the sword, the sharp edge emitted a sizzling noise, slicing the air into tiny pieces.

The next instant, Catherine’s right arm swung with force.

With a swish, the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword suddenly left her hand, thrown by Catherine directly at Qin Chu, like a meteor.

This one sword, piercing through the stars!

The moment the Heavy Sword was thrown, Catherine’s heart was inexplicably gripped by reluctance!

It was as though her body had been pierced, an intense regret throbbing deep inside her, and she even wanted to retrieve the thrown Heavy Sword...
