This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 186 - 177: Step Three, Checkmate

Chapter 186: Chapter 177: Step Three, Checkmate

Based on the reaction from the collision of the two, Lette immediately thought of the answer to the problem.

This kind of Divine Blessing is a very troublesome existence.

It possesses the overwhelming strength typical of a Blessing Artifact, and since it was bestowed by a Divine being, it doesn’t go berserk or backfire.

After obtaining the answer, the solution became simple.

Lette merely employed the Holy Light Fighting Spirit, using the Holy Shield as a medium, to perform a treatment on himself, successfully dispelling the curse.

Although he didn’t know which God bestowed the blessing upon this Divine Artifact, in the current world, it was undoubtedly the domain of the Holy Light Twin Goddess.

Lette’s Holy Shield, blessed by both Afra and Joanna, had no reason to lose to this kind of thing.

Seeing Lette had found a way to break the curse, The Liar Demon quickly retreated, grabbing the Murderer’s corpse, trying to flee.

But Lette had already anticipated this move. With a snap of his fingers, he invoked the authority of the Mirage, sealing off the surrounding area.

"Where do you think you’re going? This is already my territory; here, you follow my rules."

Lette dispelled the Crimson, the Sin Light Greatsword returned to its original form. Holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, he assumed the standard combat stance of a Holy Knight.

Since the Crimson was no longer useful, it was better to eliminate the opponent using the most conventional means.

The phantom of the Blood Flesh Evil God slowly emerged and after a short period of recuperation, it regained some of its aggression.

Although the offerings from the Demon Realm hadn’t arrived in time, Lette believed the power The Liar Demon could restore in these days must be limited.

The shouting and killing sounds from afar grew closer; the pirates had already rushed to the coastline, heading towards Harbor City.

However, in the next moment, countless shadows emerged from the Mirage.

One by one, they were agile and mighty, instantly slaughtering the first wave of enemies to land.

These were the War Shadows raised by Lette in the Mirage and were once Emily’s targets for training her power.

Using them against these Netherworld Pirates was indeed overkill.

The Liar Demon was dumbfounded: "How many things are hidden in your dream realm construct?"

"Do you know what a Mirage is? It’s like a dream, like an illusion, shapeless and formless. A small building that can hold anything."

Lette sneered: "You should be grateful that what I handed to Alice isn’t my former Holy Artifact, Utopia.

Otherwise, given your current state, I wouldn’t even need to make a move."

The Liar Demon praised: "The witch truly is terrifying, but don’t underestimate the Demon either!"

He suddenly inhaled deeply and blew on the trumpet in his hand. A vast and solid dream realm suddenly surged, instantly enveloping both him and the Murderer’s corpse.

At the same time, Alice’s voice came to Lette’s ears.

"Brother! This is bad! The area you’re in has been stretched open with a very powerful dream realm.

I’m fighting with someone over it, but they are very strong!"

After The Liar Demon opened his own dream realm, he immediately worked on reviving the Murderer, then snatched the Fish Bone Sacrificial Knife from his grasp, and suddenly slashed behind him.

Rip! Rip!

The space behind The Liar Demon tore like ragged cloth, followed by black seawater gushing out, flooding towards Harbor City.

From within the pitch-black seawater came chilling wails and cries, the piercing cold seemingly engulfing the entire Harbor City.

Besides the screams and wails, there were the crashing sounds of giant waves, and the roars and mournful cries of unknown sea creatures.

In just an instant, Lette felt he experienced all the misfortunes and disasters a navigator could endure.

But... that’s all there was.

Though these images were terrifying, they were like a mirage, without any substance, let alone any harm.

But what shocked Lette was that since these images appeared, the special dream realm where The Liar Demon resided began rapidly expanding, seemingly overpowering the Mirage.

"How is this possible?"

Lette held the Holy Shield, fully prepared as The Liar Demon suddenly lunged, slashing towards Lette.

Lette immediately countered with a Shield Counter, then swiftly slashed out with the Sin Light Greatsword in his hand.

With solid combat skills, The Liar Demon couldn’t gain any advantage, and even suffered a slight loss.

But when he returned to that strange dream realm, his injuries instantly healed.

"No, it’s not the deception working, it’s the power of the dream realm."

"Brother! Be careful! That’s one of the forbidden dream realms from the Gap of Dreams, the [gentle land]!"

Alice’s warning made Lette’s brows furrowed.

The name of gentle land, he had heard of it too.

As for which Dream Weaver created this frightening dream realm, it was no longer possible to trace.

But its terrifying aspect lies in that the dream realm is woven beautifully! So beautifully that anyone who enters it would naturally get lost and unable to extricate themselves!

And this dream realm was like a giant... pitcher plant.

All conscious beings immersed within it would be slowly assimilated, ultimately becoming a part of this gentle land.

Naturally, their physical bodies would perish with the dissolution of their souls.

And the most beautiful parts within their consciousness would be absorbed by the gentle land.

The remaining parts would also be collected by the gentle land, becoming means of self-preservation.

Back then, Lette had only heard of the infamous killing dream realm and had never seen it in reality.

Unexpectedly, it was hidden within the cellar of the Tower of Truth as well.

This damn eerie organization, were they so keen on collecting dangerous objects?

Seeing the black seawater, Lette immediately realized that this must be the unpleasing malice the Tower of Truth accumulated through years of devouring souls with the gentle land near the sea.

And everything The Liar Demon did in Harbor City was a prelude to complete this final step today.

The abnormality woven from a series of lies wasn’t attacking people staying at home.

This was extremely unreasonable, clearly intentional!

Even now, the black seawater only surged along the roads, showing no intention of entering residents’ homes.

So when the fog rose, and night fell.

Home became a warm harbor. Safe and comfortable!

This very illusion, this deliberately created lie, became the nourishment for the Dreamland - gentle land.

Simultaneously, it became the source of The Liar Demon’s strength.

Having managed for so long, he originally planned to wait a bit longer, for a better timing, to harvest all at once! Maximizing the benefits to the fullest.

But now, forced by Lette to this point, he could only reel it in early to secure his main objective.

However, just as The Liar Demon was madly devouring power to strengthen himself, Lette suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Alice, transfer the control of the Mirage to me. Then, activate the Dreamland - Fairy Town!"

Under the shocked gaze of The Liar Demon, another dream realm with attributes very similar to gentle land, centered around a reliable general store, suddenly unfolded.

It then began frantically devouring rampant power, forming a balance with gentle land.

"Sorry, Mr. Liar. It seems that places for people to escape the icy reality aren’t just one."
