Chapter 639 : Glory of Order

Adelina was truly a genius young lady. Only a week or two after awakening her divine art, she was already able to use "Glory of Order" with such mastery.

Besides her talent, it was also the result of her long-term hard work.

The Claude family revered martial prowess, and Adelina had received instruction from masters and even heroes since she was a child.

Felyn had also tried Adelina's divine art during this period, but he could never grasp the timing for blocking.

The window for blocking was only an instant, and the divine art could not be activated continuously.

The difficulty lay not only in grasping the timing but also in predicting the enemy's attack trajectory.

Lianlora gradually fell into a disadvantage during the exchange; her attacks had no effect on Adelina whatsoever.

"Thud!"

After her kick failed once again, Lianlora used the momentum to step on Adelina's blade and leap backward.

A divine chain appeared above her head.

Purple magical power gathered from the surroundings, condensing into a ball of light in her palm.

Her petite hand pushed the light ball out, firing a meteor-like purple beam.

Adelina did not dodge. She took a deep breath and raised her blade to meet it.

On the blade's edge, the black light of Order flashed and disappeared.

"Thud!"

The moment the magic touched Adelina's blade, it silently vanished.

"Glory of Order" could not only block physical attacks but also magic and divine arts.

Zervanie had never expected Adelina's divine art to have such an effect. She tugged on Felyn's sleeve, her mouth slightly agape. "Felyn, is Adelina even human?"

Currently, Adelina's Tier 1 divine art was still limited to passive defense.

When she reached Tier 2 or 3, if she awakened some heaven-defying offensive effects, such as an additional effect that could reflect the opponent's damage, then Adelina would truly be invincible.

However, "Glory of Order" still had its weaknesses.

No matter how powerful it was, it could only block an attack in that single instant.

If faced with a saturation attack from multiple people, Adelina would also have openings.

Or if she encountered a large-area, continuous divine art like Zervanie's, Adelina would similarly be unable to block it.

Seeing that her magic had no effect on Adelina, Lianlora turned to flee, but Adelina's blade was a bit faster than her.

"Clang!" The back of the blade struck Lianlora on the head.

"Mmph!"

Lianlora cried out in pain, but she still endured Adelina's attack and fled.

"Quick, after her!"

Lianlora's figure grew smaller and smaller. Felyn hurriedly gave chase.

It was already night. If it weren't for the pure white dress Lianlora was wearing, Felyn would have had a hard time spotting her.

She moved nimbly through the small woods, making full use of her petite figure's advantage.

The distance between the two parties grew wider and wider. Even with the boost from Zervanie's art seal, Felyn and the others couldn't catch up to Lianlora.

Relics were not so easy to find.

Lianlora looked back and saw Felyn and the others being left behind. She pulled down her lower eyelid and made a face at them.

"Damn it!!!" Zervanie was not happy. After she caught Lianlora, she would definitely vent her anger on this girl as if she were Dorothy.

Seeing Zervanie get angry, Lianlora grinned, turned back, and stuck her tongue out at Zervanie.

Lianlora was very happy.

But as she looked back at Zervanie, she didn't notice the path ahead.

"Bang!"

"Mmph!" "Ouch!"

Lianlora was knocked to the ground by the other person. She clutched her forehead and struggled to get up.

"Hahaha!" Zervanie laughed gloatingly. Just as she was about to go over and deal with Lianlora, her steps slowed.

Through the woods, Zervanie saw two Lianloras sitting on the ground.

One was the Lianlora they were chasing, and the other was a Lianlora holding a sword.

What she held in her arms was none other than the Hero's Sword, "Saint Laeannos."

The two Lianloras stood up hand in hand. They even patted the dust and weeds off each other.

"It feels like they're little kids on an outing. I feel a bit reluctant to strike."

"Felyn, are you a lolicon? No wonder you like Viloti so much."

Viloti didn't expect the topic to come back to her. She glared at Zervanie. "I-I'm not a loli."

The idle chat ended.

The opportunity was right in front of them. Felyn wouldn't hold back just because Lianlora looked cute.

"We need to hurry. Since the Hero's Sword has appeared, this place will be surrounded by many people soon."

Felyn's heart pounded. They were the first to discover the Hero's Sword, so they had a good chance of getting it.

"Zervanie, let's buff Viloti first..."

Before Felyn could finish his sentence, he caught sight of two white figures rushing towards Zervanie out of the corner of his eye.

He hurriedly tackled Zervanie to the ground, holding her tightly as they rolled several times.

The smell of dirt mixed with the scent of green apples from her body. Zervanie's whimpers sounded continuously in Felyn's ear.

Lianlora had not chosen to flee, but to take the initiative and attack with the Hero's Sword.

"Moonlit Sanctum" was activated. Zervanie, still lying in Felyn's arms, knew what was most important right now.

After receiving the buff from Zervanie's divine art, Adelina engaged in the most intense clash with Lianlora.

"Saint Laeannos" was the holy sword Lianlora used to slay dragons. Legend had it that the sword contained the hatred of an evil dragon, making it incredibly powerful.

If not for Adelina's divine art, her blade would have been directly shattered in the first round of their exchange.

Adelina found it difficult to cope at the beginning of her clash with Lianlora because Lianlora's speed was simply too fast.

But under the buff of Zervanie's divine art, Adelina found that the blocking time of her own divine art had been extended considerably.

She slowly regained her footing. Her blade, enhanced by the divine art, was on par with the Hero's Sword.

"Adelina, be careful! She's about to use magic!"

"Saint Laeannos" was covered in a layer of purple magical power, cleaving through the stormy waves.

The dragon-slaying blade was incredibly bright in the darkness. Two illusory sword shadows formed from magical power appeared on its sides, like a trident of a god judging the mortal world.

In the next instant, Lianlora suddenly dropped low, and three sword lights descended on Adelina from different trajectories!

Faced with this scene, Adelina made a choice in an extremely short amount of time and activated "Glory of Order."

"BOOM—!"

A dull, heavy sound echoed through the forest. The Hero's Sword was firmly blocked by the black light of Order.

But at the same time, the two magical attacks from her sides also landed on her shoulder and flank.

The berserk magical power invaded her body through the wounds, frantically disrupting the flow of her divine affinity.
