Empress Hilda appeared once again, her furious roar startling Gongsun Erniang, who was negotiating with Boss Luo.
Having something you were about to do suddenly interrupted was an extremely infuriating experience.
Clearly, Mosang's old mother... Gongsun Erniang, was not the sort of person who was willing to be polite with just anyone.
Watching a figure as bright as a meteor streak across the night sky and plummet rapidly into the depths of the palace, Gongsun Erniang let out a cold snort.
"That wretched maid again! Looks like the lesson from before wasn't enough!" Gongsun Erniang's gaze sharpened. She pressed two fingers together, and a golden light slowly unfolded into a blade. "A puppet with nothing but brute strength!"
With a wave of her hand, golden Sword Light shot from Gongsun Erniang's fingertips.
The Sword Light's momentum was nowhere near as magnificent as when Aurora's Ester, transformed into a sharp arrow, had been fired. Even so, no one could afford to underestimate its power.
"...You again! You old hag--!!"
Empress Hilda's furious voice came from the sky. The meteor she had transformed into was instantly intercepted... and Gongsun Erniang's Sword Light suddenly vanished in the night sky.
"Huh?"
Gongsun Erniang's face showed a trace of surprise. She then frowned and stared straight at Empress Hilda, who had stopped beneath the night sky.
Empress Hilda had actually blocked Gongsun Erniang's attack... At that moment, she was wearing a suit of armor radiating dazzling seven-colored light!
"That's... the Sacred Armor--!"
A startled cry suddenly rang out from a ruin in the Hall of Guardians deep within the palace... It was Doctor Gels's voice.
It really was the Sacred Armor!
Although Mr. Luo, the captain, had rarely displayed this ultimate defensive armor along the way, such a flashy... such an eye-catching suit
