Chapter 58 The Days Without Lan Su
Chapter 58 The Days Without Lan Su
Since Raziel and Zios were defeated, Stryus has gone into hiding and his whereabouts are unknown.
As Touma gains more power, his connection with the fantasy world deepens, and as the day of the world's destruction approaches, Luna can no longer hide in the fantasy world.
Occasionally, Touma could see Luna's projection in the fantasy world.
A few days ago, Bacht caused chaos in the city, drawing out the swordsmen from the North District base.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Holy Lord infiltrated the North District base and kidnapped Sophia.
He then told the swordsman that if he wanted to save Sophia, he should exchange the Holy Sword and the Fantasy Book.
Of course, Touma and the others couldn't just leave Sophia unattended, so they notified the Kamishiro siblings who were guarding the southern base.
Knowing the truth, Reika Kamishiro naturally wouldn't leave Sophia unattended. After discussing it with Ryoga Kamishiro, the two of them, along with Touma and the others, went to the place of the agreement mentioned by the Holy Lord.
As for Lian, the wise man volunteered to go and ask for her help.
However, by the time the sage found Lian, the twin swords of the wind, Cui Feng, had already been taken away by Bacht.
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the natural disaster that saved Lian, she would probably have been killed.
Today is the day for the Holy Lord to make a deal with Fei Yuzhen and the others.
"Miss Sophia, we've come to rescue you!"
Hiyoma and the others arrived at the location where the Holy Lord was, which turned out to be the very place where Hiyoma, Kento, and Luna had made a promise together when they were children.
"Haha, you're all here! Now, hand over the holy swords and fantasy books you're carrying."
The Holy Lord stood under a large tree in the center of the park, while Sophia was tied to the tree with ropes by the two men.
"You! How can we believe that you won't go back on your word after we gave you the holy sword!"
Fei Yuzhen still wanted to try to negotiate, but the Holy Lord didn't give Fei Yuzhen a friendly look at all.
"Shut up! Either hand over the holy sword, or I'll kill this woman right now!"
The Holy Lord placed the Dark Sword against Sophia's neck.
"Everyone, don't believe him! I am an artificial life form created by the organization in imitation of the Daughter of Origin. He won't kill me until he achieves his goal!"
"Never give him the Holy Sword! He wants to restore the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence and destroy the world!"
Now that things had come to this, Sofia no longer had any intention of hiding it from everyone and revealed her identity.
"Lady Sophia!"
Rintaro and the others looked at Sophia with shock and surprise in their eyes, but without any disgust.
Because Sofia is Sofia, and she is their partner.
"Sophia-san, whether you're human or not, you're our partner!"
"Yes, we're coming to rescue you!"
Knowing the purpose of the Holy Lord of Truth, the swordsmen naturally would not surrender without a fight.
But Bachter appeared behind everyone without warning, launching a sneak attack on the swordsmen of the Sword of Truth with the Nameless Sword!
"Be careful!"
Lian and Tianzai, who had arrived at the scene at some unknown time, noticed Bacht's sneak attack, and Lian quickly spoke up to warn him.
"not good!"
Yuri was the fastest-reacting of all the swordsmen. He blocked the attack for Touma, but he also suffered considerable damage himself.
Due to the ethereal nature of the Nameless Sword, Yuri temporarily fell into a deep sleep.
The Lord of Truth followed closely behind, attempting to seal all the holy swords in one fell swoop while everyone was in disarray!
Reika Kamishiro reacted quickly, transforming into her sword and using Ryoga Kamishiro to evade the seal of the Lord of Truth.
The two seniors, Daishinji and Onoe Ryo, stood in front of the three young people and took the sealing slash for them!
The Holy Lord summoned a stone pillar, and the sealed Holy Sword and the Book of Fantasy were all absorbed onto the pillar.
"Yuri! Everyone!"
"Let's go!"
Seeing his injured teammates and Yuri's unclear condition, Fei Yuzhen took out two fantasy books, "Elemental Dragon" and "Ancient Dragon," transformed into his elemental dragon form, and attacked the Holy Sword of Truth!
The wise man and Rintaro, along with their swords and blades, went to restrain Bacht.
"Heh, overestimating yourself!"
Bachte transforms into Kamen Rider Hakken and actively confronts the swords!
"I'll go help them, you deal with that traitor!" Ryoga Kamishiro, transformed into the Eternal Sword, said to Reika beside him.
"Understood, elder brother!"
Sword took out the fantasy book "Insect Queen", transformed into Queen form, and fought against the Holy Lord of Truth together with Holy Blade.
Although the Sacred Blade Elemental Dragon form was already quite powerful, it was still somewhat insufficient in the eyes of the Lord of Truth, who possessed the Dark Sword and the Omniscient and Omnipotent Fragment.
The omniscient and omnipotent fragment in the hands of the Lord of Truth is the most powerful part, which is also the source of his confidence in facing all the swordsmen of the Sword of Truth.
Even with the combined efforts of the Saber and the Sword, they still could not defeat the Lord of Truth.
In the distance, Stryus, who had been missing for a long time, emerged from the shadows.
He looked at the chaotic battlefield, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Alala, it seems like it's a good time to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
It's unclear whether he was referring to everyone present or just one party.
He played with the newly created modified version of "Charybdis," already having a plan in mind.
It's worth mentioning that Tianzai wanted to protect Lanyu's fantasy book and was waiting for his resurrection.
So he didn't go and cause trouble in front of Stryus, and his own fantasy book was not damaged.
Just as the battle was at its most intense, Stryus suddenly appeared, launching a barrage of energy orbs at the swordsman.
Caught off guard, the swordsmen were attacked one after another. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Overlord Sword defeated the three Swordsmen in one fell swoop, and the fantasy book and holy sword in their hands were also taken away.
As for the Sage, his sword was sealed away because the Sage took the attack for Fei Yuzhen.
On the battlefield, only Saint Blade remained, surrounded by three men who were eyeing him menacingly.
In fact, she could have dodged the attack with her sword, but she remembered what Lan Su had said: Fei Yu was the key to continuing the story of this world, so she entrusted her hopes to the Holy Blade.
Natural Disaster watched the situation on the battlefield with schadenfreude. "Oh! Things are getting more and more interesting."
Within his body, the colors of the 'Dark Agito' fantasy book are almost fully restored.
Lian, however, was somewhat worried about the current situation. No matter what, justice would never disappear from his heart.
"Unforgivable! I will absolutely not let your plot succeed!"
As Saber saw his companions fall one by one, his body emitted a fiery red light, and the Flame Sword in his hand resonated with it!
"Touma!"
Luna called from behind. Saber turned around and saw Luna appear in the space between the fantasy world and the real world.
"Luna!"
"call out!"
The Zerg Queen, who had been taken away by the Holy Lord of Truth, emitted light, and two black and white dragons flew out from it, resonating with the 'Dragon of Courage'.
"Go for it! I believe you can do it, Touma!"
The "Emotional Dragon" fantasy book reappeared, and encouraged by Luna, Saber did not hesitate at all and transformed into the Emotional Dragon form.
This form is 100% effective against the Overlord Sword.
"Ultimate move, fiery sword draw!"
"The legendary divine beast's ultimate attack!"
Holy Blade leaped into the air, replicating his previous technique, and kicked at Tyrant Sword.
"Ultimate move! Phoenix Unparalleled Slash!"
When Ba Jian saw that the Holy Lord and Ritrius were just watching, he knew that he had been abandoned and was only fighting to the death.
But just like before, the Overlord Sword is still no match for the Emotional Flying Dragon.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
In the end, amidst his maniacal laughter, he vanished into nothingness.
"Your task is complete. Only one more thing remains!"
The Holy Lord looked at the Phoenix Fantasy Book and the Nameless Sword in his hands and revealed a cruel smile.
"You're really ruthless, but I like it! Let me help you achieve your ultimate goal."
Stryus drew his sword and attacked the Holy Blade. The Holy Lord merely sneered and attacked the Holy Blade with both the Dark Sword and the Nameless Sword.
The Holy Lord gave the Holy Blade no chance to retaliate. The Void Sword neutralized the elemental power of the Flame Sword, and the Dark Sword sealed the Flame Sword.
Touma was forced to deactivate his transformation, and all the fantasy books on his body fell to the ground.
With a wave of his hand, the Holy Lord summoned nineteen specific fantasy books that floated to his face.
"Hahaha, I won in the end!" The Holy Lord laughed arrogantly.
"Touma!"
Luna, worried about Fei Yu's safety, actually ran away from the fantasy world!
"Luna! You're really alive! That's wonderful!"
Fei Yuzhen excitedly hugged Luna. Ever since he regained his memories, he had suspected that Luna might still be alive, and now he was finally able to see Luna again.
"It's Luna!" Kento, who had been led to safety by Mei, exclaimed excitedly from afar.
Sofia was also secretly rescued by Mei while they were fighting.
"Heh, there's an unexpected bonus!" The Holy Lord stared at Luna, his eyes filled with malice.
The Origin Daughter, who can connect to fantasy worlds, is far more useful than the imposter Sophia.
The Holy Lord grabbed Luna with his power, saying, "I've been looking for you for so long, I didn't expect you to run away on your own!"
"Luna!"
"Touma!"
Fei Yu really wanted to step forward to save Luna, but was slapped away by the Holy Lord.
"Sure enough, I will soon obtain supreme power!"
"Hahaha!"
The Holy Lord raised his hand and arranged the nineteen special fantasy books and the tattered pages in his hand into a magic array in the air.
He placed the eleven holy swords in their fixed positions on the magic circle.
As the formation took shape, the Omniscient and Omnipotent Catalogue appeared, and Luna's body, which was being held by the Holy Lord, resonated with it and was absorbed into the formation in the sky.
With Luna as the medium connecting fantasy worlds, fantasy books from all over the world are re-entered into the Omniscient Books catalog.
"Luna, Luna!"
Fei Yuzhen struggled to get up, but the pain in his body prevented him from doing so.
"I'll go save her!"
Sofia stepped forward, willing to exchange her own life for Luna's.
However, now that the Holy Lord's plan is about to be completed, how could he possibly let Sophia cause trouble?
"Don't get in my way!"
The Holy Lord slapped Sophia down, knocking her back down from where she had just taken flight.
