This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 168 - 159: The Emergent Strike

Chapter 168: Chapter 159: The Emergent Strike

As the moment the lie is exposed, the surrounding area returns to reality.

All things of the dream realm dissipate, and the mirage loses its effectiveness. The Liar Demon manages to grab the dying murderer, retreating to a safe position.

This, too, is the flaw of the mirage.

"Long time no see, Mr. Wright."

"I see you every day, Lie."

The Liar Demon was initially stunned, then laughed: "Indeed, isn’t the most common thing in this world lies?

It’s said that a normal adult tells at least twenty lies a day."

"Thank you for the trivia, but I prefer the tip about drinking 1 liter of water daily."

Lette raised the Black Shield, protecting the two women behind him, the Sin Light Greatsword in his hand gleaming coldly.

"Why so concerned about this murderer? You even came to save him personally?"

"No no no, I just share the same interests with this gentleman. Such a grand deception was almost complete, yet it had to be shattered here, truly unfortunate."

"Oh? I also enjoy lies. But humans are like this, when something more important arises, they always have to put down what they like first.

In that aspect, I envy you demons.

After all, for you, the most important thing in this world is what you love."

The Liar Demon grasped in his hand a rusty pirate scimitar. By the looks of its decayed blade, it seemed it couldn’t even cut through a plank of wood.

Lette frowned and jokingly said, "Mixed fortunes have you down this badly lately? Can’t even afford a decent weapon?"

"Lies never harm people, it’s the truth that is the sharp knife. Isn’t it?"

The Liar Demon dropped the murderer, stepping lightly, quickly and nimbly he came to attack.

Lette snorted coldly, instead of retreating, he advanced, using the Black Shield to fend off the attack.

Poof!

Lette’s clothing suddenly shattered, blood blossomed at his back, a wound appearing out of thin air.

"How could this be?"

Emily was shocked; it was her first time seeing Lette injured.

In her eyes, this man was utterly reliable. Despite his usual nonchalant demeanor, he had never suffered such a loss.

Conceptual level! The same conceptual level, indeed dangerous.

Moreover, she keenly noticed that as Lette’s wound appeared, a scar on the murderer disappeared.

Just as she was about to warn Lette, suddenly a blood blossom also burst from behind the Liar Demon at the same spot.

"Poof! Cough, cough!"

The Liar Demon was utterly shocked, "This! This is!"

"Holy Fighting Skill! Sacrifice!"

Lette’s body glowed slightly, the wound had healed as good as new: "Human wisdom, isn’t it fascinating?"

"I have never underestimated humans. On the contrary, I love them to death."

Having said that, the Liar Demon attacked again, the rusty blade in his hand swinging continuously.

No matter how Lette defended, he would definitely be injured. At the same time, on the Liar Demon’s body, an injury would definitely appear in the same place.

Lette would use the Holy Light to heal his injuries, while the Liar Demon would use the power of lies to nullify the damage.

After several rounds, neither of them suffered much. But the murderer in the distance gradually recovered from his wounds.

The battle seemed advantageous to the Liar Demon, but Emily, observing throughout, felt Lette had the upper hand.

Because since forcing the Liar Demon out, he had constantly been using the power of lies.

But from start to finish, Lette had never used his power of concept. He just persisted with Holy Fighting Skills and Holy Light Divine Skill.

Presumably, with Lette’s ability, he must have gleaned some secrets from the enemy’s frequent attacks by now.

Sure enough.

After Lette deliberately blocked a strike, his body did not explode in damage as before.

"Huh!"

"Hm hm..."

A phantom appeared behind Lette, the spiritual entity of the Blood Flesh Evil God.

Since it had not yet formed a Divine Body, it lacked the ability to attack others in the real world. But protecting itself was no problem.

When the Liar Demon saw the spiritual entity of the Blood Flesh Evil God, his face looked bad.

He could sense this phantom deity did not yet threaten him, but its presence indeed affected the operation of his lies.

"So this is the source’s counteraction..."

The Liar Demon backed up two steps, watching Lette and the evil god’s shadow behind him warily.

"In half a month, Mr. Wright managed to create something so troublesome."

Emily was very surprised, she had also heard Lette mention that the Blood and Flesh God Sect was responsible for cultivating and harvesting the Divinity of Truth, a good antidote against lies.

But speaking of it, this was just the initial stage of condensing a Divine Shadow. Let alone conceptual level, it was still far from gathering divine rank.

Logically, given it’s at the conceptual level, it shouldn’t be so afraid.

But soon, Emily realized.

The Blood Flesh Evil God was weak, but the Liar Demon wasn’t at his prime either!

His true body was sealed, and the newly formed body had been shattered by Lette a month ago.

Now this body was only reformed in the past month.

In terms of manipulating the divine concept of lying, the Liar Demon is unrivaled.

But as of now, the power he can use might not be much.

Like a high-level Legendary Mage consciousness descended into a body of a second or third level Little Mage.

The power of the Blood Flesh Evil God is not much, but certainly enough to give him a hard time.

"Since Mr. Wright is here, do you want to reconsider collaborating with me?

Dragon Island is the real scourge of this world.

Join forces with me to eradicate it, then I will retrieve my power and naturally not stay in this world.

After all, this world is tasteless to me.

With a troublesome guy like you around, I don’t want to stay and be hunted by you.

Our interests don’t conflict at all."

Lette sneered, "You are too arrogant. After committing endless crimes in this world, do you think you can pat your ass and leave by just saying you have no interest in this world?

Do you really think this is a public toilet? Come and go as you please?

I’m not as good-natured as Afra!

You’re making trouble in my territory, don’t expect anything about sealing or not sealing.

I intend to erase you, directly."

Buzz!!!!!!

The Sin Light Greatsword in his hand roared, Lette immediately threw the Holy Sword into the air, then used his concept—Emergence.

The ethereal Blood Flesh Evil God’s shadow rapidly gathered, finally leaving only a hand floating in the air.

However, this hand condensed into a solid entity, holding the trembling Sin Light and swung down.

The Liar Demon’s pupils shrunk, and in the next moment, the resplendent light of the Holy Light Sword surged forward, majestic and overwhelming.

The Liar Demon only felt his scalp tingle, he took out a small trumpet-shaped magic device, taking a deep breath and blew it fiercely.

Countless dense bubbles surged forth, bursting under the Holy Light Sword’s radiance.

Lette frowned, those bubbles were illusions one after another!

And in them lingered the scent of lies.

Despite many dream-like bubbles blocking, the sharp sword energy still struck the Liar Demon.

Whether it was the Power of Truth in that strike that wounded him, or blowing out so many dream bubbles was too consuming, the Liar Demon’s divine shadow became much fainter.

Meanwhile, this strike also greatly drained the Blood Flesh Evil God. The hand’s godhood disappeared, and the Sin Light returned to Lette’s hand.

The Liar Demon was blasted back to the murderer’s side by this strike, he suddenly seized the murderer, leapt backward fiercely, and vanished in an instant.

Emily immediately shouted, "It’s the half-dream area!"

Lette had already cast the mirage, but unfortunately it was a step too late. The Liar Demon had already escaped into the dream realm taking the murderer, and exposed the lie again.

The half-dream area exploded and disappeared, Lette lost track of the opponent.

Emily quickly trotted over, "Odd, that intersection I clearly passed by when coming earlier, it wasn’t a half-dream area before!"

"He moved stealthily while we were not paying attention."

"Damn! What was that trumpet-like thing he used?"

"It’s a type of dream-making machine, the bubbles blown out are all dream bubbles. Remember the Desecrated Temple? The surrounder was a huge dream bubble.

This guy uses it to create dream bubbles, then mixes in the power of lies...

Have you ever seen someone blow soap bubbles after smoking?

He uses this method to make dreams, and then controls the smoke inside the soap bubbles to maneuver them."

Emily looked speechless, "Where does he get all these bizarre things from?"

"The person who attacked the alchemy workshop where the mermaid princess is, undoubtedly, it was him. That workshop is likely a stronghold of the Remnants of the truth.

Could be, like the underwater palace outside the Holy City, a treasure trove hidden by the Tower of Truth.

Besides a vast amount of funds, it might also contain many secret treasures and magic devices."

Lette turned his gaze to the City Lord Mansion high above, "I said the Liar Demon attacked the alchemy workshop, even the Little Mermaid and Disaster Crocodile were disregarded.

Most likely, he was after other treasures."

Emily placed her hands on her waist and sighed long, "This demon was enough of a headache, I didn’t expect he also got his hands on the Tower of Truth’s treasure.

Now our troubles have doubled.

Curse the impudent Tower of Truth, truly a perpetual harm!"

"We shouldn’t linger here, let’s return first. Otherwise, when the police surround us, I’m afraid..."

"No need to worry, they aren’t bold enough to face the dense fog at night yet. However, Unica is indeed frightened."

Lette turned around and walked over to Unica, this girl was still in shock.

Obviously, what had just happened was too incredible, she had yet to recover from the impact just now.

"Who... who are you really? And what was all that just now?

Our Harbor City, what has happened to it exactly?"

Lette cast a calming blessing, Unica’s nerves gradually stabilized, then she fell asleep with drooping eyes.

To be safe, Lette also cast a Holy Healing Technique on her, ensuring there were no issues with her body.

Emily looked at Unica’s sleeping face, somewhat helpless, "Originally, I wanted her to continue living an ordinary life. Now, it seems I have no choice but to tell her the truth."

"You should tell her the truth, it is what she should know, and what she should bear.

This is a fact, unavoidable.

But next, it depends on what she chooses.

Just like you once did. Whether to live an ordinary life or to fight against fate.

Let’s talk about it when she wakes up."

After Lette finished speaking, he turned with the two women into a stream of light, heading towards the reliable grocery store.

At the same time, in a corner of Harbor City, the Liar Demon watched the stream of light crossing the city sky, and smiled slightly.

"When people have things they must do, they are most passive..."
