Chapter 329: Chapter 300: Wielding the Sword

The defeated army of the Kingdom marched through the streets.

The official knights, who could wield weapons weighing over a thousand pounds, all had gloomy expressions on their faces.

The battle of the Kingdom had failed.

The Abyss Beast was still advancing toward the Kingdom.

This information quickly spread to every nook and cranny.

It became known to hundreds of thousands within the Kingdom.

…..

In the small shop, Peiya was somewhat restless.

The peaceful days hadn’t lasted long; she was, of course, extremely worried that all the current beauty would be destroyed.

Lin Qianxuan comforted her with a few words and then continued his work.

The development of events would not change according to personal will.

The Kingdom acted quickly.

Immediately, they proposed a large-scale relocation to avoid the Abyss Beast.

This was not a difficult task.

The essence of the Kingdom was a metal box.

It was not heavy by itself.

A few horses could easily pull it away.

In history, to evade formidable enemies, the Kingdom had relocated several times.

Led by Count Vera and Knight Commander Anthony, the Kingdom’s fifteen most powerful Great Knights, and over a hundred official knights began the migration to protect the Kingdom.

The gigantic Abyss Beast was already very close to the Kingdom.

Its form blocked out the sun, almost towering thousands of meters high. As it moved, the ground trembled. Although its movements seemed slow, each step rapidly brought it closer to the Kingdom, a speed unmatched even by their carefully cultivated war horses running at full pace.

“It changed direction too…..” Vera murmured, “It’s not accidental; it’s coming straight for us.”

“Count…..”

Anthony drove his warhorse beside Vera, saying, “We can still draw our bows.”

“It’s useless; after its death, it will revive again.” Vera shook her head.

She had previously used an Exotic Artifact to attack it, but the result was that the Abyss Beast quickly resurrected after death and continued its pursuit.

“What exactly is its purpose?”

Vera pondered.

She had conducted many experiments.

It wasn’t after food, nor was it there to eat people.

It seemed to be heading directly for the Kingdom.

“Is it for the Kingdom itself?”

Abandon the Kingdom, this Exotic Artifact, and have everyone relocate together?

Vera wasn’t opposed to giving up this Exotic Artifact, but relocating the Kingdom’s hundreds of thousands wasn’t easy.

Moreover, the most important thing was that they didn’t have enough time.

Thud, thud!

The tremors of the earth shook her heart.

“Anthony.”

Vera called the name of her most reliable subordinate.

“Count!” Anthony responded ceremoniously.

“Inform them to prepare to abandon the Kingdom….” Vera directed.

They had several plans prepared in advance.

The battle was already lost.

The relocation spot had failed too.

The only option left was to abandon the Kingdom.

Lead the top elites among the tens of thousands away and find another way to survive.

As for the other common people, if they could run fast enough and were resilient, they might be able to make it.

Without delay, Anthony entered the Kingdom.

Soon, from within the Kingdom pulled by ten horses, the prepared kingdom elites began to appear and started fleeing in another direction.

They had arranged a meeting place and would regroup there.

At the same time, chaos ensued within the Kingdom.

Groups began to withdraw from the Kingdom gradually.

“What happened? Why are the adults leaving?”

“They’re going to abandon the Kingdom, hurry, pack your stuff and follow along!”

“How could this happen….”

Some couldn’t accept this sudden disaster, while others reacted quickly, following the adults in evacuation, and others who couldn’t part with the Kingdom stayed, prepared to await their doom.

In Peiya’s tool shop, panic set in.

“Mr. Lin, should we leave too?” Peiya asked.

“Of course.” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

The diary recorded this disaster and documented more regrets.

The calamities of her life were unending.

In this cyclic space-time, two mighty powers were battling in this manner.

Even without this disaster, they would have to leave.

He helped the young girl don forged armor, sheathed the sword imbued with thousands of attributes at her waist, and Lin Qianxuan nodded in satisfaction and said, “Let’s go.”

The two set out lightly, advancing with those still evacuating on the road.

People around avoided the young girl, some with aversion.

She felt a bit nervous, lowering her head, tightly holding onto Lin Qianxuan’s hand, her only support now.

Passing through the long corridors, they realized they were in the wilds swiftly moving beneath them.

“Quick, come down, this way!!”

A nearby knight on horseback guided the crowd off the carriage.

Lin Qianxuan grasped the girl’s hand, gently leaping and jumping off the carriage.

At the same time, the ground shuddered.

Thud!

Everyone’s attention was drawn.

They saw the colossal figure towering thousands of meters.

It seemed like a mountain, its exact shape indistinguishable, feeling only like a pig. Its body was covered in a shell like layers of rock, faintly revealing its massive head in the clouds, with two fiery eyes glowing.

But what was most terrifying about it was not its enormous size.

It was its essence.

This Abyss Beast was also an exotic object, it should be called [Devouring].

It is an exotic beast dedicated to devouring strange artifacts.

It does not suffer any form of damage and can revive after death.

Furthermore, it can sense the location of strange artifacts and head towards that direction.

The Box Nation itself is its target.

In fact, aside from the Box Nation, those exotic objects that Vera and the others possessed were also one of its targets.

The only consolation is that its movement speed is constant, and there is unit collision, with limited strength.

Therefore, to deal with it, there’s a way to seal it.

It doesn’t require too much strength, just one Legendary Realm existence is enough.

In other words, a Dao Realm.

Unfortunately, the Box Nation currently has no such experts.

The strongest are Vera and Anthony, both at Palace Level.

Which is roughly equivalent to Celestial Rank.

Far from enough to withstand this giant beast over ten thousand meters tall.

Of course, they possessed some special exotic artifacts that could kill the giant beast.

But killing it is useless, for it will revive in a short time, at most buying time.

Peiya’s Dark Diary did not write how to subdue it.

Only how it destroyed the Box Nation and killed many people, leaving her to wander the wilderness.

As Lin Qianxuan pondered on how to resolve this creature, a crimson arrow suddenly shot into the sky, heading straight for the Devouring Giant Beast.

“Screech~!”

A high-pitched and painful cry rang out, and the giant beast slowly toppled over, crashing onto the ground with a thunderous boom.

At the same time, the knight on horseback who had drawn the bow had already collapsed.

The thorn-covered bow in his hand was taken by a knight beside him.

Meanwhile, the surrounding atmosphere took on a few more shades of tragic heroism.

Clearly, the cost of that exotic artifact was not simply a matter of taking a nap.

The knights quickly escorted the Box Nation away from the crowd, who advanced towards a prearranged direction.

In the distance, the toppled beast began to struggle, and at some point, it stood up once more.

Thud thud~!

The ground began to tremble again, and it proceeded toward the retreating Box Nation.

The knight’s life seemed to have been sacrificed in vain.

Everything was as described in the Dark Diary; nothing had changed.

Next, the beast would step by step destroy the Box Nation’s last hope, all the knights would be sacrificed, and Count Vera would die in this war.

Then Peiya, due to her special nature, would be shunned by the surviving people, with some even placing the blame for the destruction of the Box Nation on her as a “strange artifact.”

She would thus become utterly homeless, a wandering soul in the Abyss Ruins.

Thud~!

Thud~!

The invisible oppression caused the crowd to flee three times faster.

“Mr. Lin, aren’t we leaving?” Peiya held Lin Qianxuan’s hand tightly, asking in confusion.

“Are you afraid?” Lin Qianxuan asked.

“Mmm….” Peiya lowered her head.

She bit her lip, uncertain whether her fear arose from losing her homeland or from the impending calamity brought by the giant beast.

“I’m here!” Lin Qianxuan patted her head gently, “Shall we go stop it, so everyone doesn’t have to be homeless?”

“But….” Peiya was hesitant.

“You can do it; you always could!” Lin Qianxuan smiled, affirming as he looked at her.

His confidence far exceeded the young girl’s.

Because he had truly seen her at her Peak, in that boundless and ultimate form.

This was a true Enlightened one.

Theoretically speaking, there was nothing she couldn’t accomplish.

Faced with Lin Qianxuan’s smile, Peiya couldn’t help but gain a bit more confidence.

She gripped the sword at her waist, gazing at the gigantic dark figure in the distance, nodding resolutely.

Then, hand in hand with Lin Qianxuan, they slowly walked toward the giant beast.

This scene drew the attention of some people.

They didn’t understand and just assumed that the pair had been scared silly, thus undertaking such a foolish act.

Thud~!

Within less than a kilometer of the beast, its massive form carried an invisible pressure, making the two appear so tiny by comparison.

Lin Qianxuan could feel the girl’s tension, even hear her heart pounding quickly, yet he still let go of her hand.

The fledgling bird had wings now, and it was time for her to try to fly on her own.

Lin Qianxuan released Peiya’s hand; she felt a slight sense of loss, but soon gripped the sword in her hand under Lin Qianxuan’s affirming gaze.

With both hands holding it, she felt an enormous power coursing through her body.

It was indeed the power she had accumulated over time.

The silver-white armor on her body also endowed her with extraordinary attributes.

At this moment, her attributes rivaled even the Celestial Rank Peak, perhaps even a Dao Realm!

Thud~!

The beast’s steps moved, spanning several hundred meters in one stride.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianxuan spoke up.

“Swing your sword! Just like I taught you!”

Without hesitation, Peiya swung her arms, the short sword forged over hundreds of times sliced through the void, unleashing a pink Sword Qi several hundred meters wide.

Whistle~!

Swish~!

Rumble~!

The beast’s body was struck, though not harmed by the Sword Qi, the tremendous impact forced its form to retreat, carving a deep trench into the earth.
