That Is Swearing Allegiance to My Dearest

The Demigod, dormant within the Grand Tutor, opened its chaotic, mad eyes. Its immense divine might, like a mountain descending from the heavens, crashed down mercilessly, instantly dominating the battlefield.

However, in the next moment, the Silver White Crystal that had expanded to encompass the entire abyss retracted to an area less than a hundred meters wide.

The diffused divine nature was compressed into an infinitely powerful divine singularity, tearing the authority the Demigod had bestowed into shreds!

The second round ended, and the third round, an even more ferocious and spectacular battle between deities, immediately commenced!

One side could control the power of a Demigod, while the other possessed 9% of the Sovereign's bloodline.

Two beings, infinitely close to true gods, clashed and fought continuously using the authority and laws they held in their hands.

Rhine had to admit.

Grand Tutor Illictra Lucia was a respectable figure.

Back then, when Leta was on the verge of national destruction under the Demigod's assault, the Grand Tutor, as the last Demigod of that generation, made the most brutal sacrifice.

She refined herself into a Law God Mechanism.

Then she devoured the Demigod, using it as a furnace core to provide energy, gaining extraordinary combat power.

The price was that she had to constantly endure the Demigod's mad backlash, her soul unable to rest even in death.

In despair and torment, she led the last Elf Empire through its darkest years.

Such an enemy, Was both respectable and even more to be feared.

"Why bother, Illictra Lucia?"

Rhine asked, "That ancient dragon is going to challenge Olivia. Whether he lives or dies, he won't be guarding your defensive line anymore. What's the point of you saving him?"

The Grand Tutor's voice was calm. "But now, his situation has changed, hasn't it?"

Ha...

Rhine paused.

Indeed.

Obadiah, having failed his molting, lost his qualification to usurp Olivia's throne.

So, as long as he survived, he could continue to be the tool dragon that blocked the Demigod for Leta!!

Rhine smiled. "Interesting. Could it be that I'm the one being used?"

"I don't want to use you."

The Grand Tutor said coldly, "I only want to kill you and destroy you—you lowly human!"

Clearly, Because Rhine had defiled Leta's New Moon King.

The Grand Tutor now only wanted to kill Rhine and eliminate the stain on the King of the Moon.

The battle continued.

Crystal and mithril, two divine natures, engaged in intense offense and defense.

However, gradually, Rhine began to falter.

Due to his profound understanding of Life divine nature, Rhine could perform advanced operations, completely transforming and elevating a divine puppet into another being using only a trace of bloodline.

But this kind of sublimation, Was not long-lasting.

As time ticked by, Sestia's strength grew weaker and weaker.

She, who had been evenly matched with the Grand Tutor moments ago, was now at a clear disadvantage.

Rhine's body also began to have problems at this time.

Rhine's body must have been injured by the residual pressure from Obadiah's barrier earlier.

Rhine could feel his legs gradually going numb and losing sensation, along with sharp, intense pains in his abdomen.

In contrast, the Grand Tutor, who housed the Demigod within her as a furnace core, could receive a continuous supply of energy. As long as her mind didn't collapse, she could fight indefinitely like a perpetual motion machine.

If this continued, Rhine had no chance of winning.

"Your Highness!"

At this moment, Sestia's anxious voice came through. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can barely hold on. This Grand Tutor is too strong. It seems we are not her match, and... Hela and Italine, and the others...!"

Not far away, Hela and the two puppets, who were fighting Obadiah alone, were once again being utterly dominated by him.

With the retraction of the Silver White Crystal, control over this abyss was once again handed over to the Grand Tutor and Obadiah.

The ancient dragon's barrier erupted with divine might again, continuously oppressing Hela and the two puppets.

This time, Hela, having gained experience, had switched to a set of targeted equipment to counter the barrier's pressure.

But even so, she was still fighting a very passive battle...

The barrier couldn't crush Hela, So Obadiah opened its giant maw and spewed forth destructive dragon's breath, engulfing Hela in a sea of fire, burning her to ashes.

"Hela!!"

Seeing her mother consumed by the dragon's breath, Histia let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Don't worry! I'm fine! I cast over a hundred dragon-warding blessings on myself before the battle, I won't die!"

Hela's voice, transmitted through magic, reached Rhine and Histia's ears.

"But Your Highness, we can't win like this! Why don't you sublimate Italien too!"

"I want to..."

Rhine's voice grew weaker and weaker.

It was his injuries acting up.

Rhine felt heavy, his mind was muddled, and his wounded body felt like it could give out at any moment.

Furthermore, the Grand Tutor had noticed Rhine's injuries. Thus, he deliberately surrounded Rhine with liquid mithril and used his divine authority to directly nullify all the healing spells Rhine had cast on himself.

Rhine couldn't heal his own injuries.

If this continued...

Histia's sublimation state wouldn't last.

"Hold on a little longer, Histia..."

Rhine gritted his teeth, forcing himself to hold on, struggling against the Grand Tutor's increasingly fierce assault.

"Don't worry, I still have one last trump card..."

Rhine said weakly, "She... she'll definitely come..."

"Empire Prince, Rhine Hain."

The Grand Tutor's voice was still calm and cold:

"Your understanding of [Life] has exceeded my imagination, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart. If you weren't the Emperor of Hain, if you hadn't blasphemed Alice, even if you were human, I would be happy to be friends with you. If you don't mind, I'd even call you 'teacher'."

"But, alas."

The Grand Tutor said indifferently, "Today, you will atone for my king with your life."

BOOM!!

A tsunami of mithril engulfed Histia once more.

The Grand Tutor had finally scattered Histia's last trace of divinity.

The sublimation state was dispelled.

Histia Hela knelt on the ground, gasping in pain, completely devoid of combat power.

The Grand Tutor ignored the puppet and walked towards Rhine.

Mithril formed a flowing, sharp sword, which the Grand Tutor took into his hand.

The Grand Tutor's steps quickened, eventually turning into a bolt of lightning, the blade pointed directly at Rhine's neck.

The Grand Tutor's voice dripped with icy killing intent:

"This is what you deserve—Rhine Hain!"

Targeted by a mortal T0-level Demigod, There was no doubt that Rhine, a mere mortal, had no chance of survival.

In fact, the Grand Tutor could have killed Rhine with just a glance.

Using a sword to behead Rhine was already considered special treatment for him as a Prince.

And just as Rhine was about to be killed, The trump card Rhine had been desperately waiting for finally made its appearance!

Beside Rhine, A sharp sword split through space!

Those ice-blue eyes, behind glasses, locked onto her enemy through the spatial rift.

The radiance of magic transformed into a searing sword light, and to protect Rhine, it met the mithril sword.

CLANG!!!!

The two weapons collided and interlocked in the air, locked tightly together.

Two powerful forces clashed. Although the Grand Tutor's strength was clearly superior, the weaker party did not concede, stubbornly blocking the Grand Tutor's assault!

The Grand Tutor was stunned.

Someone had actually taken the sword for Rhine Hain!

It wasn't Hela or her puppets.

but a new Demigod had torn through space to arrive!

Shia Constance strained to block the Grand Tutor's slash, protecting Rhine behind her.

Her appearance stunned the Grand Tutor.

Am I dreaming?

The Grand Tutor withdrew its attack, stepping back two paces.

It asked in surprise, "You used spatial teleportation to directly enter the ancient dragon's barrier?!"

The Grand Tutor was full of confusion:

"What kind of monster are you..."

Why did the ancient dragon's abilities seem to have no effect on you at all?

"?"

Shia Constance didn't understand its words.

Barrier.

Judging by her appearance, this Elf must be the Grand Tutor of Leta's White Light Courtyard.

Was she talking about the dome covering them?

To be honest, Shia Constance couldn't feel the slightest bit of power from it.

It seemed...

like just an ordinary magic shield.

Ignoring the Grand Tutor.

Shia Constance looked towards Rhine.

After confirming Rhine had no fatal injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
