Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 47: Great Teacher's Heartbeat (1)

Nameless golden sword—[New One-handed Sword 01].

That was the supreme sacred item of the ancient dragon race.

Even though they were long different from their original existences, the ancient dragons still believed in those noble superior beings.

This golden sword was a great inheritance left behind by the ancestors of the ancient dragons.

It was given to them by the superiors and was proof of a contract with a supreme existence.

This was a divine power that should not be used even if Obadiah was killed.

But now, even after Obadiah convinced himself to use the golden sword, he failed to defeat his enemies.

In fact, the sacred sword was snatched away by the very same enemies.

At that moment…

The breakdown and madness of Obadiah was indescribable.

He had already lost his rationality and could only charge towards Rayne desperately in an attempt to retrieve the sacred item.

However, Obadiah was not a match for Histia even when he was rational.

Now, it was even more difficult for this mad dog to pose a threat to Rayne and the strongest demigod he had created.

Histia attacked once more.

The authority of Order was gradually compressed into a crystal sword that was aimed at the heart of the ancient dragon, Obadiah, prepared to end the battle.

As long as that sword struck…

The battle could end then.

The golden sword was obtained, the ancient dragon was about to be destroyed and treasures would be gained at the same time.

This was a perfect journey. However…

Rayne felt that something was amiss.

After a thousand reincarnations, countless experiences and knowledge became the latent instinct in his mind. With that, an extremely powerful sixth sense had already been tempered into Rayne.

Rayne felt that there was something he did not take into account…

The barrier of the ancient dragon, Obadiah, possessed the ability to separate the space of the dragon's lair from the mortal world and could sever the possibility of teleportation spells.

However…

The ancient dragon barrier still had a final connection to the mortal world.

The elemental ley lines of the Leta elves!

Obadiah's barrier was strengthened by squeezing the energy of the elemental ley lines. Even if the barrier was activated, it would have to absorb energy from Rayne's spirit meridians.

In other words…

If an expert who was extremely familiar with the elemental ley lines wanted to interfere in the battle…

They would be able to reach the interior of the barrier unimpeded through the elemental ley lines!

This was bad!

At the thought of the existence of the ley lines, the figure of that woman appeared in Rayne's mind instantly.

Right then, Rayne's guess came true.

Beneath the ground, the spirit meridian network was invaded by an unknown power and silver waves spewed out.

It was liquid mithril.

Mithril… was supposed to be a material that was several times more precious than gold and was the highest-grade magical forging material of the elves. But now, the mithril had gathered into a wave that seemed like it was about to drown the abyss!

Endless liquid mithril flowed along the elemental ley lines.

The barrier formed by the silver-white crystals was severely corroded!

The divinity of Order was challenged once more.

Unlike before when the golden sword was dispersed with ease…

This time round, the mithril and crystals were evenly matched!

A weak voice sounded from the sea of mithril.

"To think that the person in this world who can comprehend the true meaning of us gods the most is a human… It's truly a shame."

Next, in the flowing mithril, a haggard silver-haired beauty appeared.

Rayne was extremely familiar with that woman.

Leta's strongest demigod, the Great Teacher of White Light, Elktela Lucia.

The only woman in the entire mortal world who had the ability to interfere in this battle still appeared in the end.

There was no doubt whether the Great Teacher was a friend or foe.

The prince of the human's Empire brought a demigod Imperial Guard to invade Leta and suppress the ancient dragon that guarded the northern border.

There was no way Leta's Great Teacher of White Light would agree to that.

However, after descending on the battlefield, the flowing mithril did not attack Rayne and the others. Instead, it transformed into a fluid behemoth and restrained the berserk Obadiah tightly.

"Ancient dragon, don't send yourself to death's door,"

The Great Teacher said, "You're already under the enemy's mental control. Haven't you noticed?"

"Elf!"

Obadiah roared and questioned, "How did you break through my barrier?!"

Obadiah tried to struggle. However, the gigantic beast made of mithril possessed the terrifying strength to suppress the ancient dragon with brute force.

If there were elves present, they would be shocked to discover upon closer inspection.

The mithril creation that controlled Obadiah firmly was not created by the Great Teacher casually. Instead, it was one of the elven gods in the ancient murals!

Furthermore, it was as though… the divine marrow of a true god actually existed within this gigantic mithril creation!

Obadiah glared at the Great Teacher in rage.

However, the Great Teacher had a calm expression and there was only indifference on her pale face.

Finally… Obadiah stopped struggling.

He finally noticed his abnormality.

From the beginning, the anger, panic and even the act of releasing the supreme sacred item on impulse… everything came from Histia's mental control spell.

The moment Obadiah realized that he was being controlled…

The control no longer existed.

Histia's spell had failed.

"Devious human…"

Obadiah glared at Rayne hatefully.

Obadiah did not know much about the demigods of Haines.

However, he knew a little about the demigods of his neighbor, Leta.

For example, although the daughter of Order in Haines, Histia, was extremely domineering, there were still existences in the mortal world that could challenge her authority.

Among them, one of the demigods who was believed to have the highest chance of defeating Histia was none other than Leta's Great Teacher of White Light.

In terms of bloodline, the Great Teacher was far inferior to Histia Haines.

However, this monster… managed to increase her strength to a terrifying degree by devouring a quasigod.

Furthermore…

Nobody knew how many more quasigods the Great Teacher had devoured in the following ten years after she devoured her first.

Although the silver-haired fairy beauty looked as delicate as a flower, in reality, there was a variant elven pantheon hidden in her body.

It was extremely disgusting...

But none of that mattered anymore.

With such a strong support, Obadiah saw hope of a comeback once more!

Obadiah said, "Elf, deal with Rayne. I'll kill that demigod."

"…"

The Great Teacher did not reply.

She merely watched Rayne silently.

Rayne was equally prepared.

Histia Hela arrived before the Great Teacher.

Rayne had to give up on killing Obadiah for the time being and deal with this even more troublesome enemy first.

The Great Teacher asked calmly, "Rayne Haines, did you patronize a brothel at the northern border four days ago?"

Rayne revealed a calm smile. "Yes."

The Great Teacher's expression darkened.

The truth was finally revealed.

"…I'm going to turn you into ashes!"

Immediately after, in the next moment…

Suddenly, the battle broke out!

The Great Teacher attacked. The mithril that flowed beneath her feet turned into millions of mithril machines and launched the first wave of attacks towards Rayne.

Immediately, Histia counterattacked and a crystal spear appeared in her hands. Thereafter, it was stabbed into the ground!

Instantly, dense crystal clusters pierced the ground and wiped out the mithril machines.

The first round was evenly matched.

The second round began immediately!
