Chapter 137 -: 136 Killing the protagonist.[1]
Crypian and Alia stumbled backward.
Their legs shook like leaves in a storm.
Their faces turned pale white.
Their eyes kept darting around, scared of the thick killing intent pouring out of Rosalina.
"Th-this..." Crypian stammered. He could feel her power clearly now.
She was at the Spirit Core stage of Bodily Ascension and already touching the early stage of Conversation.
Way stronger than they expected.
"Love Guardian, please do something!" Alia begged. Her voice cracked with fear.
She took another shaky step back, her whole body trembling from the heavy bloodlust pressing down on her.
"Fear not!" the Love Guardian boomed.
He stepped forward and stood like a wall in front of Crypian and Alia.
His massive body blocked most of Rosalina’s killing intent. "I shall protect you two as my masters."
He spoke in a deep, serious voice and raised his huge, long sword.
The blade looked heavy enough to crush mountains.
He glared at Julius and Rosalina with glowing red eyes.
Finally, he could fight. Earlier, the rules had tied his hands, anyone taking the trial had to get a fair chance to run away if they failed.
But now that he had accepted Crypian and Alia as his masters, those rules no longer stopped him.
He looked straight at the two masked troublemakers and released his own bloodlust.
A thick wave of blood-red energy shot forward like a crashing wave.
"Boom!"
It slammed straight into Rosalina’s killing intent.
Rosalina flinched for a split second, but she didn’t step back.
Instead, she grinned under her mask, took one confident step forward, and pushed out an even stronger wave of bloodlust.
"BOOM!"
The two waves crashed together in the middle. Neither side wanted to lose.
The air shook and cracked like thunder.
"You hypocrite!" Rosalina snarled.
She took another step closer to the Love Guardian. "You really think letting your partner sleep with anyone is true love? You’re nothing but a fancy broker running a slut show!"
"Hmph!" The Love Guardian snorted loudly and took a heavy step toward her.
His armor clanked with every move. "Someone like you will never understand real love! You two are toxic and too possessive. You can’t even share..."
"Oh please!" Rosalina snapped. Her eyes glowed bright red under the mask.
"So what if I’m possessive? What’s mine is mine! Am I some charity worker? Sharing my man with random girls? Go fuck yourself, you stupid broker!"
She snapped her fingers with a loud click.
A bright red magic circle appeared around her right hand.
From inside it, a long segmented sword slowly rose up.
This wasn’t her usual sword. This was her favorite killing machine, the Sword of Absolute Death.
She grabbed the handle tightly and gave it a quick flex.
The sword’s segments moved and clicked like living metal, then snapped back into place with a sharp sound.
"I will call you the Pimp Guardian after I dismantle you!" she shouted with a wicked laugh.
Then she took one big step and hurled the sword forward with all her strength.
Shring!
The sword broke apart mid-air.
Every sharp segment flew out in a deadly curving arc, rushing straight at the Love Guardian like hungry metal snakes.
The Love Guardian kicked the ground hard.
His heavy body shot forward like a rocket straight toward Rosalina.
Rosalina grinned under her mask.
She kept controlling her segmented sword with one hand while she lifted her left hand high.
"Infinite Cast!" she shouted.
A bright purple magic circle appeared above her left palm.
She pointed it straight at the Love Guardian.
Right away, a super heavy weight pressed down on him.
It felt like the whole sky had dropped on his shoulders.
"Ten times gravity!" she finished with a wicked laugh.
The pressure grew even stronger. The Love Guardian’s body shook.
His knees bent. He tried hard to stay balanced, but the ground under his feet started cracking.
At that exact moment, Rosalina’s Sword of Absolute Death segments zoomed in like hungry blades, aiming right for his neck.
"You won’t defeat me!!!" the Love Guardian roared.
He raised his huge sword with both hands and smashed it downward.
"BOOM!"
The sword crashed into the segments and slammed into the ground.
A loud explosion shook everything. A deep crater formed where the blade hit.
Dirt and rocks flew everywhere like angry bees.
While all this happened, the Love Guardian muttered under his breath, "Infinite Cast..."
Blood started leaking out from the joints of his armor.
The red liquid quickly formed into a fast, sharp spear. He flicked his hand and shot the blood spear straight at Julius.
Julius was still standing on the side, casually clicking photos of Rosalina from every angle, front, side, low angle, dramatic villainess pose.
He hadn’t joined the fight at all for the last few minutes.
The Love Guardian had felt Julius’s power earlier.
The guy was almost as strong as Rosalina.
So why wasn’t he fighting? Maybe he was preparing some big spell. Just to be safe, the Love Guardian decided to target him first.
"This blood spear is made from the purest blood," he thought out loud.
"One small graze and the boy will melt into nothing. If he really is busy with a powerful spell, he won’t be able to dodge."
So the Love Guardian kept rushing at Rosalina with his sword while the blood spear flew toward Julius.
Rosalina saw the spear coming. Her eyes widened.
She quickly pulled back all the segments of her sword and rushed forward to save Julius.
But right at that moment...
"Got you!" the Love Guardian laughed loudly.
He suddenly appeared right behind Rosalina.
His massive sword was already swinging sideways, fast enough to cut her in half.
"Let’s see how powerful your so-called love is!" he roared.
"Will you take my attack or save your lover?!"
Rosalina’s eyes showed real conflict.
She looked at the blood spear flying toward Julius, who was still happily clicking photos like nothing was wrong.
The Love Guardian’s sword was only a few inches away from her body.
The blood spear was only inches away from Julius.
If she ignored the spear, Julius would die.
If she blocked the sword, she would get cut in half.
It was a deadly trap.
But then Rosalina’s lips curled into a smirk under her mask.
She completely ignored the blood spear.
"You fell for it, Pimp!" she shouted with pure joy.
The Love Guardian just stared at her, eyes wide inside his helmet.
Rosalina spun around fast, her segmented sword already stabbing straight at his chest.
"Clang!"
He barely blocked it in time.
The force pushed him backward a few steps. A smug thought filled his head.
"So I was right," he thought with pure contempt.
"These two aren’t real lovers after all. She chose to attack me instead of saving him. Pathetic."
He paused his thoughts and glanced sideways at Julius, who was still standing there like an idiot, clicking photos from every angle even while a deadly blood spear flew at him.
Right at that instant.....
"Chink!"
The blood spear shot through Julius’s heart with a sickening sound.
But the moment it pierced him... Julius vanished.
He turned into black ash and burned away like a piece of paper thrown into fire. Nothing left.
"what...?" The Love Guardian’s mouth fell open inside his helmet. His glowing red eyes blinked in total shock.
But right then, something clicked in his mind. A bad feeling hit him hard.
He whipped his head around toward Crypian and Alia.
The moment he saw them, his whole body froze.
Crypian and Alia stood there with pale faces. Their eyes were wide with pure terror.
"Die!"
