Chapter 1013: Chapter 6: Magic Guide Holy Grail; Self-Identity

"In just half a month, you’ve made such progress... You really surprise me."

A voice full of suppressed anger sounded, as Athena spoke coldly.

The surrounding darkness surged like something tangible, loyal and earnest, guarding their queen.

The breath of cold and death swept like the northern wind, forever blowing across the lands, freezing everything in silence, as the entire forest donned a frosty cloak, each tree that was lush and verdant the night before transformed into ice sculptures.

——Life Force unknowingly drained away completely...

——Death and cold solidified their final moments...

——All vitality of plants and animals vanished, even microorganisms and bacteria couldn’t escape...

All things in the world are born unequal; only death treats all equally.

However, in the area near the lake, it was illuminated by a brilliant holy light, like thousands of radiant swords, easily piercing the darkness, bringing light and warmth, tenaciously protecting this region...

Seeing this scene, Athena’s expression naturally turned extremely unpleasant.

The opposition of light and darkness may be a natural law, but it didn’t stop her from loathing this light as much as she loathed the sun, or rather hating that her plans couldn’t come to fruition without complications.

The goddess’s eyes narrowed slightly, like snakes, tightly focused on the silver-haired girl opposite her.

Like a pure angel.

And like a majestic Valkyrie.

Such a stance could make even a goddess gasp in admiration, especially in the endless night-like darkness. From her gentle silver hair to her slender fingertips, the girl’s entire body radiated pure light, not just materially but even spiritually.

Even for Athena, it was the first time she’d seen a human with such a brilliantly pure soul.

It made her somewhat doubt... Is this really a human?

——After all, it was merely half a month; how could a mortal transform?

——During this time, did she steal an Immortal Pill from the Celestial Palace or a Golden Apple from Paradise?

The difference in aura was so great it was as if they had changed artists, even the illustration altering. Even for the Goddess of Wisdom, connecting this silver-haired, holy sword-wielding girl with that previous rosy-haired struggling girl before her proved difficult.

Completely like two entirely different people.

Recognizing her, Athena understandably felt immense shock.

She studied Amilia closely, finally unable to restrain her curiosity as she asked:

"Have you... already become the Demon King?!"

A goddess suspecting such was normal, as this kind of drastic change in strength seemed too astonishing. If forced to say, there are indeed methods and paths in the world that allow mortals to gain Power and divine immortality in a short time...

Indeed, it could only be that she had become a Godslayer.

Like a Dragon Slayer bathing in Dragon Blood, even a human would directly gain the power of an Evil Dragon.

If mortals could achieve the miracle of defeating gods, naturally, they could ascend the divine through human bodies.

"You!... You’re the Demon King!!"

Amilia was originally composed, but hearing this, she nearly lost her composure, furiously blurting out.

To her, perhaps, this was the most insulting phrase.

——Isn’t she?

The goddess raised an eyebrow, though she vaguely sensed her aura was not like a Godslayer, yet she found it even more incomprehensible. If not due to achieving divine taboo through plunder, what was the reason?

But no time was given for pondering, as the battlefield changed once more.

A magic named "GATE" activated opposite, and thus, another Teleportation Gate slowly opened.

Just like Miss Brave’s divine weapon descending previously, new reinforcements promptly arrived at the battlefield.

"To Steel Lion and ancestral Lionheart King—hear the oath of Knightess Erica Bluntree, I am the inheritor of Fierce Horned Flute, a descendant of Black Knight, my heart won’t yield, my sword shall never break."

With a melodious voice, such Word Spirit was chanted.

The person hadn’t arrived, yet the Word Spirit already sounded ahead, inexplicably radiating an aura, which contained the knight’s full determination and vow.

"Lionheart King, the essence of battle now appears in my hand, the duel time has come, Reinhardt!"

As the final Word Spirit concluded—

Tightly holding the Steel Sword, with firmer resolve, Erica first stepped out of the Domain behind the gate, arriving at this battlefield where darkness and light fiercely opposed.

The laws of death and cold descended, transforming the entire forest into a Netherworld-like realm, as if Athena’s Divine Domain projected upon the mortal world, overlapping in this region with physical space... Feeling the terrifying pressure and aura once more, the Knightess’s expression slightly altered.
