Chapter 1580
The golden light in Moi Nora's hand became increasingly dazzling. Seeing this golden light, Su Xiao immediately remembered his old rival, the Crownless Lord. That guy's strength was extremely high; at the very least, Su Xiao was no match for him.
During their last encounter, Su Xiao had activated Hunter's Moment to fight the Crownless Lord to a draw, and that was when Morisa's body couldn't even bear the Crownless Lord's power.
Now, the Crownless Lord seemed to have found a successor. The Crownless Lord's appearance was no coincidence. Although Moi Nora hadn't actively performed a ritual, the solar flames produced by the previous Apollo explosion, along with the elemental power and life force provided by Moi Nora's subordinates who were blown to death...
Solar flames + massive elemental power + massive life force = the Crownless Lord's power transformation ritual. Of course, it also required the Moi family's bloodline as a carrier.
Now that all four had appeared, the Crownless Lord's appearance was within reason. Su Xiao didn't know about the Crownless Lord's power inheritance ritual; he wasn't omniscient, and such an accident was inevitable.
"What... are you?"
Moi Nora's expression wasn't good. One might ask, if another consciousness suddenly appeared in one's body, no one would accept it calmly; one would definitely try to find a way to clear out this foreign consciousness. With a great enemy before her, one could imagine the size of Moi Nora's psychological shadow.
"I am... your power."
The Crownless Lord's voice entered Moi Nora's ears. Moi Nora instinctively wanted to reply with "bullshit," but considering the current situation, she didn't say it.
Moi Nora's reaction was all in Su Xiao's eyes. He wouldn't wait for Moi Nora to finish negotiating with the Crownless Lord and obtain the other's power.
As soon as the golden light appeared, Su Xiao stomped on the ground and rushed toward Moi Nora.
Clang, clang.
Two silver slash marks appeared before Su Xiao. Before he arrived, the blade light had already slashed toward Moi Nora.
The blade light emitted a piercing whine as it tore through the air, reaching Moi Nora in an instant. Before even being struck by the blade light, she felt the skin on her face ache faintly, and her hair stood on end.
Just as the blade light touched Moi Nora's skin, she nearly fainted from anger. She couldn't move; after the golden light surged in her hand, she couldn't move at all.
"I..."
Moi Nora couldn't be more frustrated. The ghost in her body said it would give her power, but it was clearly going to get her killed.
The blade light slashed onto Moi Nora's fair skin. The sensation of the skin being cut was exceptionally clear, followed by the cold, stinging pain of flesh being sliced through. Moi Nora even heard a crisp "crack"—that was her skull being split open.
Su Xiao, in the midst of his charge, was slightly surprised. He had only slashed the blade light to clear the way; he hadn't expected these two blade lights to actually pierce through Moi Nora's skull and neck.
With a "swish," the blade light flew out from the back of Moi Nora's head and neck, bringing with it a splash of blood.
A line of blood appeared on Moi Nora's face and neck. There was no fear in her eyes, only unwillingness. Her sister, Doom, had already fallen into silence, which meant she would really die now.
With a "whoosh" of wind, Su Xiao suddenly appeared two meters in front of Moi Nora. Checking Zhan Long Shan in his right hand surged with electric light, and he unleashed an upward slash toward Moi Nora's chest.
The blade edge tore through the air, first slashing into Moi Nora's left arm, which was severed instantly. The blood-stained blade didn't stop, instead cutting into Moi Nora's chest cavity. After slicing through skin, muscle, ribs, and organs, Checking Zhan Long Shan slashed out from Moi Nora's right shoulder.
Pfft!
Blood splashed as Moi Nora was slashed through by Su Xiao's blade.
"Ah!!"
Moi Nora screamed. This wasn't the sharp pain caused by the Blue Steel Shadow energy, but her unwillingness.
Moi Nora admitted that Su Xiao was strong. If the two fought to the death, it was truly uncertain who would live and who would die. She could accept failure or even death in battle, but she couldn't accept the current situation—she was going to lose without having done anything.
Having slashed through Moi Nora, Su Xiao didn't stop, instead unleashing five more slashes in succession, cutting Moi Nora into over a dozen pieces before stopping.
Moi Nora felt the sharp pain coming from all over her body; she had experienced the taste of defeat.
"How can two souls share one body? One must dissipate. This time it is me, next time it will be you. Remember this feeling; this is the taste of failure."
The Crownless Lord's voice entered Moi Nora's ears. At this moment, Su Xiao had already begun throwing alchemical bombs at Moi Nora. He didn't have the habit of watching enemies die slowly; killing the enemy as quickly as possible was the best choice. Moreover, Moi Nora's situation was somewhat strange—having been slashed so many times, even if she didn't die, her body should have been shattered.
Although Moi Nora was covered in bloodstains, her body hadn't shattered.
Boom!
The explosion's firelight engulfed Moi Nora. In the explosion, Moi Nora's pupils turned golden. She saw many things: warriors galloping on the battlefield, the Crownless as King, betrayal, family, love, and... how to use a sword.
"Poor thing."
Moi Nora in the flames spoke. Her consciousness was merging with the Crownless Lord's remnant soul. She didn't resist this process because it was her consciousness that was dominant.
Moi Nora didn't know why the Crownless Lord would do this. She didn't believe anyone would sacrifice themselves to achieve others. In reality, the Crownless Lord, whose consciousness only remained in the world, was very bored. He couldn't feel his own existence, couldn't feel the passage of time. Once he forgot his own existence, he would dissipate.
The reason the Crownless Lord persisted until now was simply that he didn't want his power to dissipate into thin air. This power once represented his existence. Entrusting this power to someone was a custom passed down in his race; consciousness only lasts for a moment, only power is eternal.
The explosion's firelight hadn't yet faded when a golden light shone through from within the flames.
"Damn it!"
Even with Su Xiao's composure, he couldn't help but curse under his breath. He had almost shoved the Duke of Silence into Moi Nora's mouth to blast her, yet even so, Moi Nora still hadn't died.
The situation was not optimistic, but Su Xiao didn't have the habit of closing his eyes and waiting for death. He slashed Checking Zhan Long Shan in his hand repeatedly, and crisscrossing blade lights slashed toward the flames.
Su Xiao slashed the flames away in a few strikes, revealing a golden light cocoon over three meters tall. Faint black patterns flowed on this cocoon, looking exceptionally magical.
Su Xiao didn't care how this thing looked; he stepped forward a few times and raised his hand for a slash.
Crack!
The counter-shock force traveled through Checking Zhan Long Shan to Su Xiao's arm, and his right arm felt somewhat numb.
Su Xiao gritted his teeth, switching from a one-handed grip to a two-handed grip. The muscles on his arms bulged slightly, and he slashed at the light cocoon with all his might.
Crash!
Checking Zhan Long Shan sank a few centimeters into the light cocoon. Inside the cocoon, the naked Moi Nora's eye twitched. According to the Crownless Lord's memory, this light cocoon was extremely sturdy and couldn't be slashed through by ordinary people, but judging by that small blade tip penetrating the cocoon, her enemy was no ordinary person.
Moi Nora closed her eyes; she needed some time to adapt to her new body.
