Chapter 125: Reunion Once More

After slaying the Abyssal Beast, the silver swords returned to the Divine Might Armament’s side, hovering and entering a standby state.

In the human world, the inheritor of the Divine Might Armament had yet to appear.

Thus, there was only one person who could wield the Divine Might Armament.

The Demon King Ville’s arch-enemy, the Silver Sword Princess Selina.

“…”

Via was stunned.

She even suspected she was dreaming.

Clearly, Selina had perished with her, heading to hell.

But why could the other still stand before her?

“…”

The Silver Sword Princess similarly maintained silence, engaging in a wordless standoff with the Demon King.

“Selina, you’re not dead.”

Via spoke first.

With the assistance of the Demon King Armament’s auxiliary function, she used her previous life’s voice tone, testing the waters.

“Tsk, Ville, it really is you,” the Silver Sword Princess sneered, “I clearly granted you the chance to go to hell, yet you refused it. You’re truly unreasonable.”

“This familiar feeling…”

Via wouldn’t mistake it.

This should be the Silver Sword Princess Selina herself.

Even though the other was wearing a mask, hiding her appearance, this tone and attitude could only belong to Selina.

In an instant, many past memories flashed in her mind.

Her hand subconsciously tightened.

“Why are you still alive?”

“Those words, I need to ask you the same,” the Silver Sword Princess said, “Your destination isn’t here.”

“Humph humph hum, hahaha!”

Via laughed.

“I died? Sorry, that was just one part of my plan!”

“Plan?”

“Yes, of course—my plan to reclaim the pinnacle of the world. Did you really think you could kill me? I was just using you to escape from everyone’s sight. Thanks to you, I had eighteen years to do many things. Now, I no longer need to hide my existence from the world!”

“I don’t care about that. I know one thing: as long as you’re alive, I won’t die.”

Selina raised her sword, pointing at the Demon King.

The blade gleamed with cold light.

This scene had played out countless times eighteen years ago.

“Even if you’re a lingering ghost, there has to be a limit! The one who should disappear from this world is you!”

Via’s emotions were somewhat out of control.

Only in front of Selina would she be like this.

For this arch-enemy, her disgust had reached its peak.

She didn’t understand what method Selina had used to cling to life in this world,

but time and again, this damned woman blocked her path.

She’d had enough.

The demonic blade surged with Abyssal Force filled with killing intent.

“Selina!!”

“Ville!!”

The Silver Sword Princess roared, gripping the silver sword and stomping on the ground, leaving a afterimage in place.

Via twisted her waist, swinging Desolate Fire and slashing backward.

Clang!!!

The silver sword clashed with the pitch-black, sparks flying, the entire space shaking.

The deadly battle from eighteen years ago seemed to transcend time, reenacting once more.

From behind the Silver Sword Princess, four swords flew out, locking onto Via from different directions and launching attacks simultaneously.

This was the characteristic of the Divine Might Armament.

As long as the user honed their sword intent to the extreme, they could control five swords in battle at once.

“Abyssal Bullet, fire!”

Via compressed the Abyssal Force and released it through the Demon King Armament.

The bullets collided with the other four swords, forcibly deflecting their attack trajectories through continuous bombardment.

“Keep your eyes forward, Ville.” The Silver Sword Princess said coldly.

“What?”

To counter the Divine Might Armament’s four swords, Via had to divide her attention.

By the time she came to her senses, the Silver Sword Princess’s weapon had already condensed an incomparably sharp sword intent, even overpowering Desolate Fire’s pitch-black flames.

“Star Severing Slash!”

The Silver Sword Princess unleashed a powerful sword technique, swinging that strike, cleaving the earth, the sword qi rushing to the heavens as if to sever the stars in the sky.

“Abyssal Shield!”

Via consumed a large amount of Abyssal Force, condensing a protective force field to defend herself.

The fierce sword qi collided with the dark purple force field.

However, the Abyssal Shield was released too hastily; the Silver Sword Princess’s attack still broke through the incomplete invisible force field, slashing onto the Demon King Armament.

Her body was pushed back by the sword qi, flying far before falling to the ground.

“Ville, no matter how many years pass, your swordsmanship hasn’t improved at all.” The Silver Sword Princess mocked her arch-enemy.

“That was just a probe. On the contrary, you disappoint me immensely. Back and forth, the techniques you use are still just these few sword arts—no progress.”

Via retorted.

She wasn’t like Selina, specialized solely in swordsmanship.

If it came to close combat, she indeed couldn’t gain much advantage.

To win, she had to adopt other tactics.

However, she also noticed one thing.

That was, the Silver Sword Princess’s attack just now hadn’t reached the Legendary tier—it was currently only at the Transcendent tier, same as her.

This point was truly strange.

In their previous lives, both she and Selina possessed Legendary-tier strength, which could already be considered the top level on this continent.

If using Legendary-tier attacks, her current self would be utterly unable to resist and would be instantly killed.

But why would her arch-enemy, so intent on killing her, hold back?

No reason.

If she still possessed Legendary-tier strength, she wouldn’t hesitate at all and would immediately kill the other.

“Selina, has your strength regressed? If you don’t go all out, my probing might just end here.”

“Ville, is your current strength that strong? Could it be that the heavy injury I gave you back then hasn’t recovered even now?”

The words between the Silver Sword Princess and the Demon King were laced with gunpowder; neither willing to yield an inch.

“…I see.”

Via didn’t understand what had happened to Selina.

But she could roughly infer one situation.

That was, Selina’s strength had greatly declined, unable to exert the same Legendary-tier power as in her previous life, falling to the Transcendent tier.

If that was the case, then for her, it was tremendously good news.

A Transcendent-tier Silver Sword Princess was completely possible to kill.

“Selina, since you love hell so much, this time, let me personally send you there.”
