Chapter 1881: "They Are Our Enemy." (Requesting Moon Tickets)
"----"
Lightning, scarlet as blood and black as ink, suddenly flashed into being.
"Ha!"
Mordred, who had dashed before Mashu, gripped a sword that had never been seen before. Red lightning crawled across its blade, while she herself was completely wrapped in crimson thunder. Reaching Mashu, she swung it down without mercy.
Carried by the red lightning, the strike was overwhelmingly powerful.
"Boom----!"
There was no clash of metal. Only an explosive roar rang out as the red lightning erupted, instantly shooting toward every corner of the city wall. The wall above the Holy City's main gate trembled violently, covered in countless red electric arcs.
There was no doubt that this was the result of Mordred using Mana Burst. Strengthened by the "Blessing," its power had surged geometrically. A single strike had nearly brought the city wall crashing down.
Under such a savage blow, Mashu kept her shield raised. She leaped backward through the storm whipped up by the red lightning and returned to Luo Zhen's side.
"Ugh...!"
Red lightning still crackled across Mashu's body as she let out a muffled groan. Her body seemed paralyzed, and she swayed dangerously, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Mordred's strike had actually pierced Mashu's defenses.
"Smack!"
A hand reached out from behind Mashu and slapped her shoulder, surging with astonishing mana.
"Boom!"
As the mana swept over her, the red lightning crawling across Mashu's body was flung away and vanished without a trace.
Luo Zhen kept one hand on Mashu's shoulder as his gaze swept across the surroundings.
Countless Purification Knights were approaching from every direction, surrounding Luo Zhen and Mashu.
These Purification Knights had clearly been lying in ambush nearby from the very beginning. Now, they immediately charged out and formed a perimeter.
