Chapter 315: Chapter 223: The Unstoppable Elsa
At that moment, the atmosphere within the White Dragon Knight Tower was profoundly eerie. Sitting coldly in the heart of the massive array was Elsa, languid, her eyes slightly shut, void of any expression on her face. The White Dragon Knight Order’s group leader was held tightly by the throat by Duo Mo, the large Dragon-slaying Sword had already pierced through his chest.
"Heh heh, Group Leader, don’t blame me for being heartless, the price set by the Black Dragon guys was simply too enticing."
Duo Mo said.
"Group Leader!" A few White Dragon Knights wanted to rush forward.
"I dare anyone to move! Currently, my sword blade hasn’t reached the Group Leader’s heart yet, but as soon as any of you dare to stop providing Fighting Aura to the array, our Group Leader is done for!" Duo Mo sneered.
"You bastard, no wonder you gave me this idea, to use the array to control Elsa. You said you were afraid she would act recklessly and break the rules, turns out, this was your plot!"
The Group Leader said weakly, with a chest wound that made speaking difficult, yet his tone was filled with anger.
"Heh heh, you’ve found out too late." Duo Mo responded.
"Not too late, at least we all know who you are now." The Group Leader said.
"So what if you know? You are already incapable of exerting any Fighting Aura. Elsa is trapped within the array, refraining from eating or drinking for days consecutively, even with all of us here, she hasn’t moved an inch, I guess she has already lost consciousness, hasn’t she?"
Duo Mo glanced at Elsa, not knowing whether it was a hallucination or not, he seemed to see a slight twitch of Elsa’s fingertip.
"All of you! Continue to inject your Fighting Aura into it! Don’t think of slacking!"
Long, long ago, when Duo Mo was not yet a Guardian Dragon Knight, he had been bought by the Black Dragon Empire. Once he became a Guardian Dragon Knight, the funding from the Black Dragon Empire to buy him off soared, causing Duo Mo to become addicted. However, the emergence of Elsa directly led to Duo Mo’s demotion, and a reduction in the money he received from the Black Dragon Empire, which made him extremely resentful.
All along, the Black Dragon Empire had just been silently funding him and not asking for any help in return. Initially, in the Black Dragon Empire’s layout, this level of pawn was surely to be saved for a lethal strike.
But Duo Mo had his own plans, he discovered an opportunity, a chance to directly overthrow Elsa.
Using this internal turmoil, Duo Mo planned to eliminate Elsa all at once. But to his surprise, the Black Dragon Empire started a war. However, it turned out to be perfect timing, Duo Mo found an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the White Dragon Knight Order’s Group Leader, then kill Elsa, in addition to his own departure. The White Dragon Empire would lose three top Guardian Dragon Knights at once, the Black Dragon Empire might take this chance to swallow up the White Dragon Empire! Even if the White Dragon Empire managed to fight back, at least half of its territory would be lost.
By then, with his own merit and strength, the Black Dragon Emperor would surely grant him a large piece of land.
Reality proved that not only was Duo Mo’s strength formidable, his mind was even sharper. The plot of the story went as if he had written it, playing out entirely according to his predictions.
"Alright, dear Group Leader, you’d better not be too nervous. Now, let me first slaughter this irritating Elsa, then we can discuss my situation."
Actually, Duo Mo initially wanted to say more. For years, as an undercover agent for the Black Dragon Empire, he lived in fear. Now, suddenly emerging as the triumphant one, he really wanted to leave his mark, however, the quiet Elsa was too unsettling.
Duo Mo pulled the Group Leader two steps forward, a few White Dragon Knights, who were worried about the Group Leader, had no choice but to give way.
"I’m sorry, pretty little girl, blame your own strength. Couldn’t you surpass anyone else, why did you have to surpass your Uncle Duo Mo? And on top of that, you just had to fall for that fool, Long Yi?"
Duo Mo shook his head, one hand penetrating the array to grab Elsa. Elsa was still sitting there, unmoving, as if she was oblivious to everything.
"Done!"
Duo Mo’s hand touched a strand of Elsa’s hair.
But in the very next moment, he saw his hand involuntarily cringing.
What is happening?
Duo Mo was confused, trying hard to open his hand, but the whole hand was already out of control. Meanwhile, Elsa in front of him slightly moved.
"Damn."
Duo Mo instantly realized something was wrong, he hurriedly turned around, but strangely, despite retreating a few steps, the Group Leader in his hand still stayed at the original spot unmoving.
At this moment, he realized, it wasn’t that the Group Leader didn’t move, it was his arms that had astonishingly snapped off at the shoulders!
"Are you finished talking now?"
Elsa slowly rose, her cold voice emanating from her mouth.
"Thought Slash!"
Duo Mo only felt his spirit dissipated.
Thought Slash, the most elite skill of the Dragon Knights. By stimulating the Fighting Aura with a thought, transforming it into a blade to kill the enemy, the Dragon Knight no longer needs a weapon, or even any movement. The blade appears as one sits there, following the direction of the thought!
However, in most cases, the Thought Slash skill is only a myth. Because to use Thought Slash, one needs an unprecedented level of Fighting Aura.
Ten approximate Dragon Marks.
The so-called Ten approximate Dragon Marks mean that the Dragon Knight’s power is infinitely close to Ten Dragon Marks, and just a tiny bit of luck is needed to enter the state of Ten Dragon Marks.
Only a Dragon Knight of such strength can perform such an incredible skill.
Many years ago, some Dragon Knights had managed to attain this level of training, but over the years, the number of Dragon Knights with this kind of power has only diminished.
"Elsa... you’ve already reached the level of near-ten Dragon Marks... could it be that you could have left this Array at any time?" Duo Mo couldn’t believe his eyes!
"This Array is as ridiculous as a child’s game. But I’ve always been curious about what you’re trying to do, and Brother Long hasn’t encountered any real threats, so I decided to stay and see." Elsa said.
Duo Mo had thought he really had Elsa trapped within the Array, but to his surprise, she had only been playing along with him! For some reason, Elsa seemed to be shining in Duo Mo’s eyes.
"Actually... I was just joking around..." Duo Mo said unconvincingly with a pained expression.
"Well, I was just joking around too."
Elsa kicked Duo Mo to the ground with one foot.
"Kun Sha! Transform! Take me away!" Duo Mo yelled, calling for his Mount Dragon, which had always been nearby.
"Whoever comes, dies." Elsa said coldly.
Kun Sha, Duo Mo’s Mount Dragon gave a cry, not daring to appear!
Elsa’s fierce reputation had already spread far and wide, especially her precision in beheading dragons far exceeding all Dragon Knights. During the Seven Kingdoms Tournament, she appeared with a string of Black Dragon heads. Although Duo Mo hadn’t witnessed it, he could well imagine how terrifying this young girl was.
Legend has it that Elsa is someone who could behead a dragon even without a Mount Dragon!
Kun Sha, Duo Mo’s Mount Dragon, was completely terrified. It hid in the shadows of the corner, not daring to show itself.
Duo Mo was in despair.
When the messenger arrived at the Guardian Dragon Knight Tower, he saw Elsa dragging someone by the leg out of the tower.
And that person was Duo Mo, a fellow Guardian Dragon Knight!
At this point, both of Duo Mo’s arms were already severed, but he was still struggling desperately, shouting loudly, "Please spare me, Miss Elsa! Please! Please don’t kill me! I was out of my mind! I was wrong! I’ll give you all my money! It’s all yours! All yours! Please, I beg you!"
"Miss Elsa!" The messenger called out nervously.
"Hello, what do you need?" Elsa stopped and asked.
"This..." The messenger didn’t know what to say.
At that moment, the group leader walked out, his Greatsword already removed from his chest, his Fighting Aura restored, and he quickly sealed his wound. Although he couldn’t fight for a while, slower movements were basically no problem.
"Don’t worry, just handling a traitor." The group leader said.
There are traitors among the Guardian Dragon Knights? The messenger’s eyes widened in shock.
"Do you need something?" The group leader asked.
"Ah, yes! This is a personal letter from His Majesty the Emperor!" The messenger hurriedly handed the letter to the group leader who opened it, glanced at it, and the paper turned to dust in his hands.
"The Emperor has issued an order to send troops and asked for assistance from the Guardian Dragon Knights. Elsa, you go this time." The group leader said to Elsa.
The Black Dragon Empire was coming on with full force, and the White Dragon Tower was temporarily unable to assign more manpower.
"Please let me go! I will atone for my sins! Please give me a chance! I beg of you! Just one chance!"
Duo Mo shouted out loud.
Elsa’s brows furrowed slightly and she dropped Duo Mo’s ankle, then turned back and said, "Actually, I had quite a few games prepared for you. But now I’m out of time. I regret it."
With that, Elsa raised her hand, and the unprecedented Fighting Aura turned into a strange white light, which enveloped Duo Mo. In a moment, Duo Mo had completely disappeared, and even the ground beneath him had melted into a crystalline shape.
After all this, the group leader was amazed to find that there seemed to be a faint light radiating from Elsa’s eyes, as if her entire body was enveloped in a layer of white light.
What was happening?
It wasn’t just the group leader, Elsa herself noticed it too. She looked at her hands in puzzlement, then looked up at the sky. After a moment, she lowered her head again. The glow on her body had vanished, but a trace of worry was evident on her face.
"It’s too soon. What am I going to do?" Elsa murmured to herself.
The changes in the Empire affected everyone, except one person.
Long Yi.
Recently, he had largely been occupied with the investigation of the Dasaide incident. The good news was that Kirei finally became the Emperor, at least saving him the bother.
In fact, Long Yi had originally thought that everything would end dramatically.
Who would have thought that the dramatic war had begun on the border instead. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on qidian.com, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users can read on m.qidian.com.)
