Chapter 1620: Chapter 1620: Blood-Red Night
Time slightly rolls back.
Harpy Yixuan lay on the room’s table, shaking her head and staring at the pastries sent by Princess Eena.
Yixuan thought that Princess Eena was a good person. Although at first, Eena held a lot of hostility towards her, with Vorquis’ mediation, their relationship improved.
At least, Yixuan thought so.
Princess Eena often gave her desserts to eat, only good friends share desserts.
"Not ready yet?"
Yixuan calculated time in her mind, and finally couldn’t resist in the last few seconds, she devoured the remaining pastries.
Chewing the cake joyfully, Yixuan suddenly felt something foreign in her mouth. Spitting it out, she discovered it was a thumb-sized round bottle.
Words were engraved on the metal round bottle’s side.
"Please... open... it."
Uttering the words, Yixuan didn’t hesitate to open the bottle, inside was a rolled paper.
Opening the paper, it was written:
"Upon seeing this note, come find me. If I’m not in the room, look around."
Sitting up, Yixuan walked out and ran to Princess Eena’s room.
Princess Eena wasn’t in the room, Yixuan fluttered her wings to the hero’s room, intending to tell the hero about this, and then search for Princess Eena.
But unexpectedly, the hero wasn’t in the room either.
What’s going on?
Harpy tilted her head, trying to search the whole tavern, still not finding any trace of the two.
Tara was still there, but for some reason, was sleeping like a dead pig. No matter how Yixuan shook her, she showed no signs of waking.
Having no choice, Yixuan could only continue searching for Vorquis and Princess Eena.
The night tonight was quite nice, it’s time to fly into the air to survey the port... finding them should be easy, right?
Opening the window, waving her wings, Yixuan felt a subtle unease in her heart.
The familiar feeling surged back to her heart, Vorquis seemed to drift farther from her, yet she was powerless to stop it.
Upon soaring into the sky, Yixuan’s eyes captured a golden light silently disappearing into the sea.
Flying a bit closer to see, Harpy Yixuan’s mouth widened in shock, eyes full of disbelief.
Vorquis had murdered their companion they lived with day and night!
The corpse fell into the sea, stirring up black waves; the crackling sound was extraordinarily jarring, yet vanished in the sound of other waves.
Vorquis lifted his head, casually gazing at the sky, as if nothing had happened.
Yixuan found it hard to believe what was in front of her eyes; she frantically fanned her wings, wanting to question Vorquis clearly.
In an instant, Vorquis slowly turned, aiming in her direction, eyes erupting with a piercing cold light.
Yixuan was frightened motionless.
Before Yixuan could think further, a dazzling light beamed into her eyes, a golden light capable of splitting mountains streaked across the sky.
The fear of death surged in Yixuan’s heart, she frantically waved her wings, yet couldn’t completely evade that thread-like attack, instantly several feathers were cut off.
Killing intent! It was intense killing intent!
The man on the dock was serious, wanting to kill her! He absolutely couldn’t be Vorquis! Vorquis wouldn’t do such a thing!
Yixuan finally realized, the one standing on the dock as Vorquis was not Vorquis at all.
But if he’s not Vorquis, where is the real Vorquis?
He must be hidden by this person!
"Vorquis, it’s always you saving me, this time it’s my turn to save you.
I absolutely have to tear this imposter apart with my claws!"
Biting angrily, Yixuan adjusted her posture in mid-air and charged towards Lux without hesitation.
"You eliminated fear.
A rather simplistic reaction.
I won’t show mercy just for such simplicity.
Since you attacked, you have become my enemy."
Lux drew out the Holy Sword, another indistinguishable golden thread swept through the air.
"I can see clearly!"
Brutally flapping wings to create strong winds around, Harpy Yixuan spun and maneuvered in mid-air, evaded the golden thread, revealing her sharp claws.
In a flash, Yixuan’s figure flickered in the air, instantly arriving before Lux.
Lux raised his hand, a Magic Shield rapidly rose beside him, constructing sturdy defense.
The sharp claws collided with the Magic Shield, sparking shining lights.
"It’s over."
Clenching the Holy Sword, golden light emitted from his hand, Lux decisively slashed toward Yixuan’s wings.
Reaching here surely drew the Demon King’s attention, but Lux remained confident; he had secretly concentrated major combat power enough to catch the Demon King off guard.
Lux feared nothing in the fight on Demon King City. Instead, he could use various powers without restraint in the battle on Demon King City.
Initially, Lux didn’t plan to harm Vorquis’ team.
Someone needed to recount the hero’s accomplishments.
Having adventured with the hero, they were the most suitable candidates.
But Princess Eena consistently crossed his bottom line, reminding him of some unpleasant memories.
After determining Princess Eena and the people of the Village of Heroes were no different, Lux decided to strike ruthlessly.
But didn’t expect Princess Eena also had a fallback...
It shouldn’t be a fallback, it should be intentions of letting that Harpy completely sever ties with the hero.
If Yixuan noticed the anomaly and swiftly flew away from this city on first detection, Lux could only dispatch secondary combat power to chase her, she might have escaped.
But since she foolishly delivered herself, he’d be unreserved.
Yixuan’s battle intuition made her fold her wings to resist the attack, but it was too late.
"Clash" sound, feathers flew, blood flowed!
"You have some potential, but too inferior compared to me." Lux’s eyes flashed coldly, stabbing toward Yixuan’s heart without hesitation.
"[Feather Defense]." Shimmering faint blue light, feathers fell from Yixuan, forming defense for her.
Yixuan’s defense blocked only one of Lux’s attacks, Lux unsparingly employed a defensive-breaking Skill, breaking Yixuan’s Feather Defense, piercing through her chest.
However, Lux’s strike didn’t completely pierce Yixuan’s heart.
"Missed?"
That shouldn’t be possible?
Lux looked at his hand holding the sword, it was trembling slightly.
Lux instantly understood the situation: "After all, she’s someone you once liked, subconsciously wanting to avoid killing her?
In the end, only causing my arm to tremble.
My resolve is a million times stronger than yours!"
Lux unsparingly drew out the sword blade, this time piercing Harpy Yixuan’s heart steadily.
He made one, two repeated strikes... until Yixuan’s blood volume was completely depleted.
