She didn't use the power of "Demon Sword Creation," though. In front of the Demon Emperor Sword, the Demon Swords she created couldn't withstand its slashes. It would be better to just use the indestructible Chainsaw.

Her eyes flashed with light again. The Evil Eye's power interfered with Siegfried, but even though it succeeded, he still blocked the attack.

Clearly, when facing a strong enemy, the Evil Eye at this level couldn't achieve much.

"This power again! But the same moves won't have any effect on me!"

Feeling the power of the Evil Eye, Siegfried became even more ferocious. A mere ordinary Divine Artifact, the "Dragon's Hand," had been developed by him to an unprecedented level.

His power had multiplied countless times!

"Again! Hahahahaha!!"

Siegfried grew fiercer, and Miss Moonlit was not to be outdone. Her eyes turned even redder, and she too entered a berserk state.

The two of them fought head-on with pure, brute force. The surrounding sand and sea were annihilated!

"This kind of power! He wasn't using his true strength when he fought me before."

The only spectator, Jeanne, watched the brutal aesthetics of the two berserkers and was utterly shocked!

Miss Moonlit wasn't using "Demon Sword Creation" in her fight with Siegfried, but other powers and Divine Artifacts. If she had used these powers when fighting me earlier, I probably would have lost long ago.

Losing to this beautiful Miss Moonlit was truly not unfair.

"You guy! How many Divine Artifacts do you have?!"

Siegfried, enduring Miss Moonlit's slash, showed disbelief in his eyes.

Because Miss Moonlit had entered a berserk state, her fighting style was purely offensive, without any defense. Even Siegfried, who excelled at brutal aesthetics and whose power was amplified several times by his Divine Artifact, was suppressed by Miss Moonlit.

However, this fighting style undoubtedly made her vulnerable to injury.

During their battle, Miss Moonlit was wounded by the Demon Emperor Sword several times, but these wounds healed completely in the blink of an eye. Clearly, this was another powerful Divine Artifact.

Logically, one should only have one Divine Artifact, but Miss Moonlit, in addition to the "Demon Sword Creation" from the beginning and the artifact that stopped time earlier, now had a healing Divine Artifact.

That's a total of three Divine Artifacts!

Was this reasonable?

No, it wasn't!

It was no wonder Miss Moonlit fought this way. With a powerful healing Divine Artifact, she didn't care about getting hurt. She only sought extreme brutality and killing!

"Hahahahaha..."

Healthy laughter continuously erupted from the berserk Miss Moonlit, making Siegfried feel a sense of fear. Was fighting her really the right choice?

"Are you afraid, human? Give me the Demon Emperor Sword, and I might consider letting you go," Miss Moonlit said as she attacked, noticing Siegfried's change.

"Hmph!"

"I don't believe you can heal forever. Besides, if I kill you... we'll see how you heal."

Hearing Miss Moonlit's words, Siegfried's expression turned grim. Dreaming of him giving up his Demon Emperor Sword was futile. It was just healing, so he would just kill her!

"Is that so..."

She didn't care. Miss Moonlit gripped the Chainsaw tightly with both hands, and a massive blood-red aura erupted from her.

Then...

"Take this, Crushing Mountain Shattering Earth Slash!!"

With berserk energy spreading throughout her body, Miss Moonlit, imitating a berserker from a certain game, unleashed a Crushing Mountain Shattering Earth Slash towards Siegfried, instantly causing the sand to collapse.

Seeing the Chainsaw descend, Siegfried could no longer hold on.

"Balance breaker!!"

At this very moment, Siegfried entered the Forbidden Hand state of his Divine Artifact.

His physique became even more robust, and four dragon arms grew from his back. Each dragon arm held a top-tier Demon Sword.

Wielding multiple Demon Swords, Siegfried now displayed his greatest strength, becoming even more ferocious against the vampire girl before him.

The multiple weapons in his hands didn't appear chaotic; instead, they multiplied his strength.

In an instant, Miss Moonlit, who had held the absolute advantage, was put at a disadvantage. As the saying goes, even the best boxer can't fight off two opponents, let alone when each of those opponents wields a top-tier Demon Sword and possesses extraordinary swordsmanship.

"So strong!"

Miss Moonlit quickly retreated a few steps, her blood-red eyes fixed on the six-armed Siegfried before her.

She sustained numerous sword wounds, but with the "Sephiroths Cup," they healed completely in the blink of an eye. In fact, unless it was a special attack, she couldn't be killed.

She could even revive immediately after dying!

Since that was the case, there was no longer any reason to hesitate.

"The moon has turned red!"

Using the Forbidden Hand of "Demon Sword Creation," she directly pulled Siegfried into her own world.

A giant blood moon appeared behind the young girl.

Then, the girl placed a hand on the ground, causing thousands of magic swords to rise from the ground, forming a massive sword dragon that surged madly towards Siegfried.

Facing these thousands of magic swords, Siegfried showed no fear. Instead, he charged forward, his six top-tier magic swords slashing wildly.

All the magic swords were instantly severed before Siegfried. His speed was so immense that they couldn't even be seen, as if six barriers were in front of him. These magic swords simply couldn't get close to him.

Miss Moonlit hadn't intended to defeat him this way; it was merely to stall him.

"By the red moon, I swear..."

Splitting the chainsaw in her hands into two, she held one in each hand. Miss Moonlit instantly turned into an illusion and attacked Siegfried with her ultimate skill!

"Siegfried, be careful!!"

Jeanne, who had been closely watching the battlefield, noticed this and immediately issued a warning. After all, Siegfried was a member of her organization.

Moreover, she had been saved by Siegfried before.

Along with her warning, Jeanne simultaneously activated the Forbidden Hand of Holy Sword Creation, sending her holy dragon towards Miss Moonlit, hoping to save Siegfried.

However, Miss Moonlit's actions didn't stop at all. She completely ignored the holy dragon she had created.

With a splash of blood, the crimson color stained her eyes. The powerful Siegfried couldn't resist and was directly killed by Miss Moonlit with her two chainsaws!

"What..."

With her upper body separated from her lower half, Siegfried looked at the scene before him in disbelief. He didn't understand... what had happened in that instant that he died like this?

This was a joke...

But no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't change the fact that he had been killed. His body fell powerlessly to the ground, his eyes slowly losing their light and color.

"System, strip Divine Artifact!"

At the moment of Siegfried's death, Miss Moonlit didn't stop her actions.

She immediately proceeded to strip his Divine Artifact.

Although the one in his body was just an ordinary Dragon's Hand, it was still Crystals! She wouldn't dislike having too many Crystals. At the same time, her even greater gain was Siegfried's magic swords!

After obtaining the Dragon's Hand, Miss Moonlit immediately sold it because it wasn't of much use. Its value was simply to be exchanged for Crystals.

[System Notification: Obtained 238 Crystals.]

Huh?

This one Dragon's Hand could be sold for 238 Crystals. This surprised Miss Moonlit a little. She had obtained Dragon's Hands before, and their recycle price was less than half of this.

Could it be because Siegfried had developed it to a new height?

It didn't matter; it was a pleasant surprise!

After killing Siegfried, Miss Moonlit felt no hesitation. Anyway, if she didn't kill him, Siegfried would have died at the hands of the Dragon Emperor and the others later.

Moreover, during their previous exchange, neither of them had held back. Both Siegfried and Miss Moonlit had aimed to kill the other with all their might.

If one died, it could only be said that they were too weak.

If Miss Moonlit's strength was inferior to Siegfried's, she would have been killed by him as well.

She collected all of Siegfried's top-tier magic swords, especially the Demon Emperor Sword.

Miss Moonlit didn't study them further, simply storing them in the system warehouse. Then, her gaze shifted to another target nearby.

Jeanne!

This time, no one else should come out to interfere, right?

"Siegfried..."

Jeanne looked at the scene before her with disbelief. Siegfried had actually died just like that?

For a moment, she didn't know if she was dreaming. Siegfried's strength was considered quite good among the entire Hero Faction, and now he had died at Miss Moonlit's hands just like that.

It was like a joke.

She even felt a sense of shared misfortune, as they were members of the same organization after all.

However, Jeanne thought of the leader of the Hero Faction. With Siegfried dying here, Cao Cao and the others definitely wouldn't stand by and do nothing. It's just that Cao Cao wasn't in Europe right now, so even if they wanted revenge, it wouldn't be possible in a short period.

"Human, now it's your turn!!"

Using the thousands of magic swords to restrain the holy dragon, Miss Moonlit's gaze locked onto Jeanne once more.

"..."

Snapping back to reality, Jeanne didn't hesitate and turned to flee. But the next moment, Miss Moonlit pounced on her and pinned her down!

How could her speed possibly match Miss Moonlit's?

Just as Jeanne thought she was going to die here as well, Miss Moonlit didn't intend to kill her. Instead, she proceeded with what she hadn't finished earlier and stripped her Divine Artifact.

The process of stripping the Divine Artifact was inevitably accompanied by immense pain.

After finally finishing the stripping and the pain, Miss Moonlit opened her cherry lips and bit down on Jeanne's neck. For the mission to defeat and subdue Jeanne, she chose to subdue her.

"Alright, human, your life is now in my hands. You'd best behave."

"I didn't kill you because I plan to let you return to The Order of the Fallen..."

Releasing her fangs, Miss Moonlit stood up again and spoke to her. Killing her would be less valuable than turning her into her own subordinate.

On the bounty missions, the rewards for subduing and killing were the same, and she had already obtained the other Divine Artifact, "Bible Creation."

Whether to kill her or not was irrelevant; it was better to have her act as a mole within The Order of the Fallen.

The Order of the Fallen was Miss Moonlit's most anticipated prey. All of them possessed Divine Artifacts, and some even had several Sacred Gears. The three top-tier Sacred Gears were all in the hands of members of The Order of the Fallen.

However, Miss Moonlit currently lacked the confidence to go up against the entire Order of the Fallen directly, as she wasn't 100% sure of taking down Cao Cao and the others.

Having a mole within The Order of the Fallen was undoubtedly very important to Miss Moonlit. As for whether Jeanne, who had lost "Holy Sword Creation," would still be recognized by The Order of the Fallen, Miss Moonlit wasn't worried at all.

Even without a Divine Artifact, Jeanne was still the reincarnation of that saint from Christianity, making her a very valuable member to The Order of the Fallen.

Chapter 45: Arrival in驹王町

"An unexpectedly bountiful harvest!"

Miss Moonlit looked at her newly acquired Crystals, their number having increased significantly.

Defeating Siegfried and subduing Jeanne were both A-rank bounty missions. The moment she saw them, Miss Moonlit had immediately taken them on.

This was her usual habit.

She had already memorized the targets of the bounty missions. Almost all members of The Order of the Fallen were listed on the bounty board.

Although the two A-rank bounties only added up to 1130 Crystals.

But this was just a side benefit. The main harvest was their Divine Artifacts and Magic Swords.

The several Magic Swords in Siegfried's possession were very powerful. They might play a crucial role in fusing "Holy Sword Creation" and "Magic Sword Creation."
