Chapter 1426 80: The Girl Who Stepped Through That Door
"Don't stop me anymore, Tilan."
The radiant Holy Sword was gripped with both hands, accompanying Celestia's charge, piercing through the delicate figure in the sky. The golden Sword Aura penetrated Tilan's chest, emerging from her back. Then, Celestia supported the girl's shoulder, withdrew the Holy Sword, and watched her fall from the sky in a daze.
The broken body floated down from the vast sky like a fallen leaf; her weak, weary eyes watched as the figure at the end of her vision grew increasingly distant.
Words are always weak things, how great it would be if all conflicts could be resolved with words...
The speed of the girl's fall increased, and her body shone brighter, until finally shattering like a fractured crystal.
Countless sparkling crystals streaked through the atmosphere like a rain of light, then instantly coalesced, reconverging into her pristine form.
Hexia lingered in mid-air; the pitch-black wings behind her slowly unfurled. The wings woven with Magic Power were as flawless and beautiful as black crystals. Then, her eyes opened, burning with a cerulean Magic Power, and a dazzling silver Holy Sword slowly materialized before her.
Inheritance Secret Skill·Rose Holy Sword
She clasped the sword's hilt with both hands, from which golden floral patterns spread, entwining the sword body like vines, and finally ingraining in, the golden rose imprints faintly emitting unsettling information to all Newborn Races. It was both pure and dangerous.
Grasping this Holy Sword, the girl vibrated her wings, instantly transforming into a black meteor, charging directly towards the peak of the firmament, crashing into the splendid golden Holy Domain, shattering the forming solar halo Circle once again.
Above the firmament, the Holy Sword entwined with roses sliced across, ripping one of Celestia's wings. Pale golden blood splattered in the sky, and countless golden threads spread towards the other's body. Confronted with this secret technique specifically targeting Newborn Races, Celestia's eyes turned cold; a complex winged sun symbol appeared at her brow, cascading halos expanding outward, purging the gold-threaded curse within her body.
Subsequently, the Holy Sword 'Tiraphi' swung, shattering the Rose Holy Sword in the girl's hand, and then cut a long gash in Tilan's body.
At this moment, Celestia showed no mercy; the instant Tilan was knocked away, she turned and dove again, her Holy Sword shining once more, this time intending to sever the girl at the waist completely. Deprived of the Rose Holy Sword, Tilan's eyes gleamed, her gaze locked onto the attack. She clasped her hands like a blooming bud, a new Sword Edge manifested, held, and directly aimed at the opponent's sword tip to stab.
The two sword edges clashed in mid-air, the Sword Edge in Tilan's hand fractured layer by layer, yet she was unfazed. She spread her hands in the air, holding two blossoming rose-bud Holy Swords in her palms.
Cerulean and deep purple patterns, like vines, spread from her palms, entwining the Sword Edge, then attaching to form an eerie and striking pattern. Afterward, she brandished the two Longswords, charging at Celestia.
High in the sky, the two continuously clashed and battled, with each interwoven strike causing the Sword Edges in their hands to explode into fine specks of light.
What is this?
Celestia's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the peculiar two Longswords in the girl's hands that could remain mostly intact even against the Holy Artifact 'Tiraphi' and could have some effect on her.
The cerulean and deep purple roses entwined around the sword body emitted a special aura; the dual Authorities of space-time intertwined, forming an Annihilation Field whenever the two swords crossed, a situation that would have shredded Celestia despite being a Transcendent of Sequence 9.
What surprised Celestia even more was that, even though Tilan held the rank of Angel Sequence 8, she maintained formidable control over the Aijieka Particles, unseized by Celestia.
"You're no ordinary person, Tilan." She shook her head slowly.
"I should have realized it earlier; perhaps I was too naive, failing to notice that you are actually an Angel Prototype yet to find your Favored." Celestia's golden eyes seemed to see through the girl before her.
"I don't know whose Holy Sun emissary and legacy you've become, but this planet cannot accommodate two Suns reigning together. I must also carve out a living space for all Silver Wings species."
Already a high-ranking existence of Angel Sequence 9, she could reach the Authority of the Solar Crowns, naturally perceiving the peculiarities in the girl before her.
If she didn't resolve the black-haired girl before her now, she would eventually become another Holy Sun, with their clashing ideals inevitably leading to a schism reminiscent of the Four Heavenly Wings facing the Mechanical Sun·Soft.
"Tilan, I'm going to kill you."
The words were decisive and unwavering; as she stated, she was the spiritual embodiment of countless Silver Wings species, united in purpose, their sentiments harmonizing, their ideologies gradually unified without any impurities.
The last trace of hesitation in her heart severed, leaving no room for sentiment. If this was the trial before becoming a Sun, she accepted it gladly.
The golden aureole blossomed behind her, radiating magnificent halos that rendered the atmosphere still for hundreds of kilometers of firmament, numerous Aijieka Particles transformed within into the Magic Power of the Angel Hierarchy, which she controlled.
Then, she once more positioned the Holy Sword 'Tiraphi' before her brow, with colorless flames rising slowly, from which tiny sparks continuously burst forth, gently sprinkling downward in the atmosphere, each harboring terrible power.
