Chapter 132: Counterattack (2/2)

'Those were really good times.'

Thinking fondly about those moments, she took out a red scale and walked toward one of the wyverns resting on standby.

At first, it had begun to growl threateningly, but the moment it felt the aura on the scale it immediately became meek and didn't stop Theresa from jumping on it.

”What are you guys waiting for? We are losing time.”

Everyone aside from Lilith showed an astonished expression. After all, she knew very well to whom this scale belonged to.

This was one of the first gifts Blaze gave them. Each of the members of their team back then received one scale from her shedding.

This scale wasn't just a deterrent towards lower beast in the dragon class. It was also a form of identity card that could be shown to all S class as the proof of their friendship with the dragon clan.

Just as Theresa was about to urge Lilin to jump on, she raised her hand with an awkward expression, ”Hum… I

I already own my own wyvern, we could just use it, right?”

Lilin wasn't a stranger to wyvern riding, and like Sol, had her own wyvern. Even though she didn't sign a contract with it.

The silence that settled was one of the most awkward moments in Theresa's life.

The fact that she could see everyone fighting to hold in their laugh made it worse.

Blushing, she jumped down and futilely hit Lilin's shin for a short while.

A short moment later, with Lilin on the helm, while Nuwa and Theresa rode behind her, the three of them flew away in the direction of the Gorfard mansion.

Now alone with the young Black Knights, what Lilith wondered wasn't whether they could win, but they were going to win in the cleanest way possible while assuring the smallest loss.

Still, she didn't really have to worry either.

'With Persephone and Camelia, as long as they don't die, no matter how severely wounded they are, they will be alright.'

”Your majesty, we are ready, how do you want us to proceed?”

Looking at all the young knights kneeling in front of her, she simply smiled, ”You have nothing to do. Just follow me.”

Saying so, she took her sword and threw it in the air before jumping after it.

The knight didn't understand what she was about to do, but they all raised their head in shock when she stood on the flat of her sword and began to float steadily, more than 10 meters in the air.

Standing in the air, Lilith ignored the astonished look and slowly floated higher and higher.

The higher she was, the calmer she felt.

The immortal slaying sword. The technique that she had created from the description of her brother about people called cultivators.

She remembered, when she was at her lowest after learning her mediocre talent, her brother's stories were the one that could always make her see a brighter future.

She remembered about his stories, of how people with absolutely no talent could train to the level of slayings gods themselves.

Since that day, she had yearned for this power.

It didn't matter how impossible it was.

She wished to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

She wished to become someone no one could look down on.

She wished to become proof that in this shitty world, one didn't have to be blessed to become strong.

….And she was close to success.

<<Immortal Slaying Sword Style: Flying Sword.>>

Faster than the eyes could see, standing on her flying sword, she completely vanished.

It was time to make all the people in this kingdom remember why she was strongest here.
