This Holy Knight is So Despicable! -
Chapter 57: You Actually Survived
Chapter 57: Chapter 57: You Actually Survived
Although transformed into a human form, the Light Holy Dragon was incredibly powerful in both speed and strength.
In just a moment, Galado had already attacked in front of Lilith.
No one had time to stop her, and they all had one thought in mind—this is bad!
Boom!!!
However, the next moment, her claw blade stopped three inches away from Lilith’s nose, unable to move any further.
The surging shockwave swept through the scene, sending the unprepared spectators backward. They steadied themselves awkwardly and quickly turned to look back.
It turned out that Lette had appeared beside Lilith at an inexplicable speed, firmly gripping Dragon Lady Galado’s wrist with one hand.
His eyes were wide open, his large hand like an unshakeable steel clamp, preventing Galado from moving even the slightest bit despite her efforts.
"Hey, what do you want to do to my Lilith? Lizard."
Lette’s voice was calm, but the killing intent he exuded was nearly tangible.
Some people with weak minds almost instinctively raised their Holy Light Shield as a precaution.
The Light Holy Dragon was now terrified, her face ashen, unable to comprehend what was happening before her.
Dragons, being at the top of the food chain, were revered along with God’s eldest son Titan as the strongest beings. Their strength was undeniable, their terror eternally sung.
Some Ancient Dragons, powerful and tempered by countless ages of baptisms, were beings even gods would avoid.
Not to mention the Light Holy Dragon, an individual of high status and great power!
But now, she was not only being completely suppressed by a human but also felt a threat of death from him!
Most frightening of all, she couldn’t even make a move to resist or escape!
But the pride of a dragon wouldn’t allow her to bow her head here.
"She is a Demon! Demons harm people! They are bad things! They should all be killed!"
"Evil Dragons also kill people! Shouldn’t all Dragons be killed then!"
From a distance, Vanessa was rushing over: "Wait! Lette! She’s still young! She doesn’t understand! Galado! Shut up! Don’t speak again!"
Unfortunately, the contract between Dragon Knights is an equal one. If you delve into it, the Dragon’s status is still higher than that of humans. Vanessa’s command had no binding effect whatsoever.
Galado arrogantly tilted her head: "How can the noble Dragon Clan be compared to dirty Demons? And a lowly human like you is in no position to criticize our Dragon Clan!?"
Lette said nothing, but his body was suffused with a thick Holy Light Fighting Spirit. He raised his other hand high, and the Sin Light Greatsword emerged from his palm.
He yanked the captured wrist forward with one hand while gripping the Sin Light with the other, aiming for Galado’s nape.
The intent of this move was clear—to decapitate!
Clang!
Vanessa finally arrived, holding her sword with both hands to block the strike. However, the terrifying force was beyond her capacity to withstand.
She kneeled with a thud upon contact, the sword blade bending to its extreme, forcing her to brace against Lette’s blade with her shoulder.
Though both had Holy Light Fighting Spirit, Lette’s was obviously more dense and substantial in comparison.
"Wait! Lette! You can’t kill her! Do you know the consequences of slaughtering a Light Holy Dragon? Are you prepared to fully war against the Dragon Clan?"
"You should ask Dragon Island if they’re ready to fully go to war with me! Wipe out the lizards, and that’s that."
Bzzz!!!
The Sin Light Greatsword vibrated violently, surging with powerful energy, further burdening the already struggling Vanessa.
Lette, wielding his sword single-handedly, forced the Princess to kneel, making the Dragon Girl lower her head.
"Lette! Lette!"
Cardwen and Delman, the two archbishops, hurried over, patiently advising.
"Lette, with the Holy Presence Day approaching, we can’t afford a major incident!"
"Indeed! While she did wrong, a simple lesson will do, there’s no need for beheading!
Think of Master Constant too!"
Lette frowned, yet still refused to lift his hand.
At this moment, Lilith edged closer: "Alright, Lette, I’m fine. Besides, if you really make a move, the situation will only get more chaotic.
Don’t forget, we still have people to save."
Lette squinted slightly, his grip relaxed a bit: "Princess Vanessa, I heard your delegation was attacked last night?"
Vanessa gritted her silver teeth, full of unwillingness.
She had planned to make a grand entrance today and use last night’s robbery incident to give Lette a hard blow.
At the same time, showcase her strength to sweep away obstacles for consolidating the Holy Temple faction later.
Unexpectedly, she ended up being given a hard blow in return.
But at this moment, she could only lower her head and concede. Being from the imperial family, Vanessa was adept at assessing the situation and, when necessary, yielding without hesitation.
"No! No such thing happened, you must have heard wrong."
"Nothing happened, that’s for the best."
Lette abruptly turned his sword, swinging it fiercely, sending the two flying with the side of the Sin Light, and then left the Holy Presence Square without looking back.
Vanessa and Galado carved two deep ruts on the ground, crashing into a statue at the square’s edge.
Fortunately, the Dragon Girl’s body was robust, and Vanessa’s Fighting Spirit provided protection, so they were unharmed, though inevitably disheveled.
After Lette left, the non-Holy Temple faction members also followed suit and departed.
Vanessa assumed the Holy Temple faction members would leave as well, but to her surprise, they eagerly approached.
They helped her up, showed concern, and fervently pledged their loyalty, all eager to follow her lead.
Curiously, Vanessa felt odd about it and secretly questioned an earnest-looking member.
"Even in this state, you’re willing to follow me?"
"Of course, Your Highness!"
The member’s eyes were filled with admiration: "You’re still alive, aren’t you?"
Then he pointed to the Dragon Girl beside him: "And you saved her! What an awe-inspiring feat! We’re willing to follow you and become your strength!"
Upon hearing this, Vanessa felt half disheartened. Although gaining the loyalty of the Holy Temple members, she sensed they were already terrified by that person.
But at this point, she had no choice.
"Take me to the Holy Temple and convene an emergency members’ meeting. I must assume office immediately."
And her actions had already been predicted by Lette.
"Vanessa is sure to convene an emergency members’ meeting to quickly secure the vice-chair position.
Once she holds power, she’ll likely start causing trouble."
Lette turned to Taylor while walking, "Her bureaucratic procedures give us precious time.
You now accompany Cardwen Archbishop back and use any means necessary to quickly find Adros.
Remember, you must meet in person and relay my orders directly.
Tell him and his men to stay put! They must not act recently!
Since that Dragon Girl could see through my camouflage, she can surely see through the Blood Witch’s as well.
Next, they might purge the Dark Race hiding in the Capital.
If those who surrendered to Adros are discovered, implicating him, we’ll be at a disadvantage!
Even if it means forgoing the progress we’ve made, we must ensure safety!"
Taylor nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright, we’ll go at once!"
Lette scratched his head, a bit frustrated: "What a troublesome woman, her arrival equates to cutting off one of my arms!
We must quickly find a way to remove her, or the harm will only grow!
Relying on the Holy Temple’s power, is it?
The Holy Temple... Holy Temple..."
Lette suddenly clapped his hands: "Got it! Lilith, take them home first, I’m heading to the commercial street!"
