Chapter 967: Chapter 23: I Will Protect You... (Part 2)

"But the building over there is about to collapse! We must leave immediately!"

From her brief observation just now, she discovered that ordinary people could not see the gigantic wild boar’s figure at all. It seemed that in their eyes, the demon didn’t exist; what they saw was the most direct phenomenon of a natural disaster, so they all thought it was an earthquake.

That was already scary enough.

So Emilia suddenly realized, perhaps this person thinks during an earthquake, it’s best to stay in an open space like a baseball field.

"Hurry up! Come with me!"

Quickly coming up with a reason to block any doubts the other might have, she forcefully grabbed the person’s arm and turned around, eager to leave this dangerous place.

But at the next moment—

"...!!"

Miss Brave, after turning around, suddenly felt her mind nearly go blank; her blood and breath seemed to freeze along with her thoughts.

In her eyes, the huge, pitch-black demon boar was clearly reflected, roaring towards this direction, and simultaneously launching a spine-chilling charge! This giant beast, with a prehistoric aura, directly lifted the earth in its charging path, trampling the ground into fragments!

Even in the eyes of ordinary people, it might seem like the earth was shaking violently, rapidly cracking open, with huge crevices piercing through the space, spreading far and wide!

At this moment, it was as if time had frozen...

A fleeting moment seemed to stretch infinitely long...

Instinctively biting her tongue, Miss Brave used the pain to bring herself back to her senses; she no longer hesitated, decisively spreading the already sparse Holy Power throughout her body, attempting to summon the Evil-Breaking Armor that had been fused with her, like the Holy Sword.

It was armor woven from the wings of a Blazing Angel, hidden like the Holy Sword due to insufficient Holy Power after arriving in this world, merging with her Angel Bloodline.

But if she exhausted all remaining energy...

It should be able to summon it back for a fleeting moment...

She knew very well that she currently had no possibility of stopping this demon, her only hope was to endure for a moment, withstand the most terrifying impact... even at the cost of her own life, she had come to this realization!

"...I will protect you!"

A clear voice rang out; Emilia did not turn around, she just said this very seriously, in a low voice.

As if solemnly swearing or promising something.

Whether it was to repay this person’s kindness or to conquer the nightmare in her heart, she was ready... naturally prepared to die.

Gu Mo paused for a moment, unable to suppress a faint, silent laugh.

It’s been so long, and unexpectedly, there’s still someone saying such words to him... Just watching the girl’s figure steadily standing in front of him, he was touched, seemingly recalling something, and a part of his heart suddenly softened.

At the next moment—

"Roar roar roar roar roar—!!"

The giant wild boar opened its mouth wide, emitting a roar not belonging to this world.

It lowered its head to accelerate the charge, with its two huge long tusks aiming forward to crush everything, just like toppling those skyscrapers, ready to lift the ground ahead once more and fiercely.

Then—

Rumbling... The violent vacuum shockwave swept towards all directions, turning into a raging storm!

Under the great reactive force, the giant wild boar stepped back, looked ahead, and with a flash of human-like confusion in its eyes, found nothing... as if something had appeared to temporarily block it a moment ago.

Even its charge had halted, but that thing disappeared?

"Wa-wait! This magic power is..."

Her pupils suddenly contracted, the girl raised her head in shock to look at the sky.

Massive whirlwinds swept by, the aura of surging magic power blowing towards the horizon. This magic power, seemingly imbued with a demonic nature, gave an involuntary sense of overwhelming oppression, she was all too familiar with it, as she had faced it many times before...

The Demon King really came to this world, and even restored such powerful magic?

She was unexpectedly far behind?

But where was the person?

Her gaze darted around, finding no trace of the Demon King, could only tightly clench her fist, then decisively pull the young man behind her: "Hurry, hurry up! While we can now—"

The Demon King seemed even more terrifying, not even needing to appear formally, yet could block such a demon’s frontal attack... but no matter what the other intended to do, whether or not just aimed at the demon itself, at least in an unexpected twist, had helped the two escape encirclement!

Thus, she must seize this chance, before being exposed, to lead the person behind her to escape!

Dragged forward by Miss Brave, Gu Mo struggled to suppress his urge to make a sarcastic comment.

The Demon King actually hadn’t failed to appear, instead, he had been directly knocked flying, and with such speed that the currently ordinary human-level dynamic eyesight Miss Brave possessed, couldn’t see anything, not even catching residual images—leading to the misunderstanding that the Demon King’s true form hadn’t descended, yet could block the wild boar’s strike remotely.

He quietly glanced back at the tall building behind—

On it, a human-shaped hole deeply embedded within...

......

...

At the same time.

In the deep mountains somewhere in the Celestial Dynasty.

"Interesting... Is this news reliable? No, they wouldn’t dare fool me..."

The oldest Godslayer in the world received a message, slightly furrowing his brows, then revealing a smile of intrigue. Because the alchemists seemed to have divined something strange, and the results pointed to a striking agreement... enough to shock the world, otherwise they’d presumably not dare disturb him.

"Hehe, the primeval demon, the first Godslayer..."

With fingertips gently brushing over the message, the oldest Godslayer fell into thought.

He’s the Demon King reigning over this world for more than two hundred years, thus being called the oldest... the apparent oldest, the current oldest.

However, in legend, the truly oldest Demon King could trace back to even more ancient history, unknown if true or exaggerated by later generations, implying incoherently that he was the first Godslayer, the first to defeat gods, also the first to seize divine power, even claiming he never died.

His achievements directly shattered the entire Greek Mythology, capturing the power of all gods...

That was the beginning of breaking mythology and seizing divine power, also the origin of all current Godslayers.

But the exaggeration was truly too fantastic, making it sound so absurd, giving a feeling of excessive unreality.
