Chu Tian’s appearance was like a stabilizing force cast into the chaotic battlefield.
Every swing of the Starlight Ruling Sword in his hand, which shimmered with starlight, ruthlessly and precisely harvested the lives of the Demon Race warriors.
The sword’s light was not hot; instead, it carried the coldness and silence of a falling star.
Wherever it passed, demonic flames were extinguished and bone armor shattered.
Su Nian took advantage of this opening, immediately intending to pour part of her magic into treating the wounded.
She divided her mind between two tasks.
On one hand, she used long-range magic to harvest Demon Race soldiers, and on the other, she used healing magic to restore her allies.
At the same time, she stood in front of the girls from Magic Feather Fantasy, using defensive magic to protect them.
In this situation, she couldn’t worry about exposing her Light Magic anymore.
Anyway her greatest enemy was the Horned Demon.
To him, this wasn’t a secret.
As long as the secret that the Humiliation Value System and 100 million Humiliation Value could allow one to become a god wasn’t exposed, it would be fine.
The next moment, atop the Floating Fortress, the beautiful girl dressed in exquisite clothes released a holy and soft light from her fingertips, which fell precisely onto the wounded soldiers on the ground.
The warm light covered the hideous and terrifying wounds.
The lingering black demonic energy on the wounds fought fiercely against the Holy Light, making a burning “sizzle” sound.
The soldiers’ faces, which were distorted by intense pain, gradually relaxed under the bathing light.
The Holy Light not only stopped the injuries from worsening but was also dispersing the evil energy that was eroding their vitality.
The nobles who had previously rushed toward Su Nian for protection regardless of everything else now saw Mo Yuan Sir showing such divine power and changed direction once again.
They scrambled and crawled, attempting to get closer to this guardian who seemed even more powerful and reliable.
However, they had yet to get within 3 feet of Mo Yuan Sir before an invisible, chilling, and powerful aura pressed against them.
That aura was bone-chillingly cold and carried an inviolable majesty that made them feel fear, and they no longer dared to step forward easily.
In the heat of the fierce battle, a strange, almost instinctive tacit understanding formed between Su Nian and Mo Yuan Sir.
He was like a black god of death, lunging and slashing through the Demon Race ranks with a fierce and unstoppable sword light.
She, meanwhile, released powerful magic from the rear with precision, clearing out the remnants who attempted to ambush them from the flanks while simultaneously healing the human soldiers.
One Demon Race warrior bypassed the sword light, his claws lunging straight for Chu Tian’s back.
Su Nian’s eyes narrowed, and she instantly cast a spell without an incantation.
A ball of energy interweaving blazing heat and extreme cold, the Illusive Flamewater Break, left her hand.
The energy ball exploded mid-air, and the terrifying torrent of energy blew the Demon Race warrior into pieces, scattering charred fragments everywhere.
After the attack was launched, Su Nian herself was stunned, ‘I… how could I subconsciously help him?’
Her body’s reaction had even surpassed her brain’s thinking.
She could have perfectly well let that demon hack at him.
Even if it couldn’t kill this bastard, letting him get injured would have been a way to vent her anger.
‘No, I can’t think like that.’
Su Nian immediately found a reason for herself in her heart.
‘The Horned Demon is a temporary ally. If he dies, I won’t be able to protect so many people on my own. Yes, that’s it.’
‘Moreover, if the Horned Demon finds out I did this on purpose, who knows what methods that pervert will use to torture me once we return to Shadowmoon Manor.’
‘This is just for self-preservation, absolutely not because I care about him!’
Chu Tian used a backhand strike to decapitate another demon.
The holy radiance and the murderous sword shadows interwoven with unexpected smoothness and efficiency.
He was clearly very happy to see Su Nian actively cooperating with him in battle.
Just like this… step by step, he would conquer this proud little wildcat!
While Su Nian was fully focused on casting a mass healing spell with a wider range, the Horned Demon took the opportunity to move to her side and spoke in a voice only she could hear.
“How is your Master’s fighting posture? Isn’t he handsome? He’s much stronger than that Third Prince, right? Are you captivated by your Master?”
Chu Tian was still a bit bothered by the Third Prince’s earlier appearance, so he subconsciously wanted to show off.
His gaze swept toward the Third Prince, who was fleeing miserably in an escape shuttle, and his posture straightened a bit.
He won!
Su Nian rolled her eyes at this sudden flirtation.
Earlier, she had actually felt a sliver of the thought that ‘this guy doesn’t seem that irredeemably evil.’
‘Perverted Horned Demon!’
What time did he think it was!
She wished she could immediately condense a blast of magic and shove it directly into this Horned Demon Bastard’s face.
In her heart, she cursed the Horned Demon over and over countless times.
In her actions, she didn’t respond to him, being rare and firm for once as she directly ignored his question about whether he was handsome.
However, because the Horned Demon mentioned the Third Prince, Su Nian still subconsciously glanced in the Third Prince’s direction.
She saw the Third Prince being protected by guards, looking terrified and frightened, clearly in a pathetic state…
Compared to the majestic appearance of the Horned Demon slaying the Demon Race soldiers, they were clearly not on the same level.
It seemed that the previous plan to interact more with the Third Prince to lower the Horned Demon’s favorability had failed.
Despite the turmoil in her mind, Su Nian’s hands never stopped moving.
The mass healing magic fell upon the soldiers in front.
At the same time, her offensive magic continued to coordinate with the Horned Demon fighting before her…
There was no choice.
Currently, the disadvantage of the Floating Fortress was still great, and the only ones capable of fighting were her and the Horned Demon.
She could only coordinate with this guy.
The corner of Chu Tian’s mouth curled into a smile.
Although he hadn’t received an affirmative answer, he saw the way the girl was forced to cooperate with him, looking fiercely annoyed yet still adorable.
The Starlight Ruling Sword in his hand moved with even more ferocity and speed.
Between the flashes of sword light, it was as if countless stars were falling.
The severed limbs of the Demon Race warriors flew everywhere along with wails of despair.
The splashing demon blood was evaporated by the invisible aura around him before it could even hit the ground.
He strolled casually through the cruel landscape of blood and fire, acting with an elegance that didn’t belong to a warrior, but rather a king creating a piece of deathly art.
***
Inside Academy City.
Through the giant magic image crystals in the plaza and the Magic Phone screens of personal terminals, countless citizens clearly saw the shocking scene of Mo Yuan Sir and Miss Su Nian fighting side by side on the deck of the Floating Fortress, killing enemies while bathed in blood.
One was like a dark king in charge of slaughter, moving like a ghost, spraying demon blood wherever the sword light reached.
One was like a holy goddess spreading radiance, dropping Holy Light to save lives with one hand, and delivering precise strikes to insta-kill demon soldiers with the other!
In the eyes of many citizens, the coordination between the two of them was seamless, just like the legendary Hero and Saintess who watched over and helped each other.
“It’s Mo Yuan Sir! And Miss Su Nian!”
“They’re too strong! They will definitely lead us to defeat those damned demons!”
“Look! That is the Hero of our human race!”
The panic and despair in the citizens’ hearts caused by the demon surprise attack were temporarily suppressed by this sudden light of hope, replaced by even more fanatical worship and excited cheers.
The flames of hope were rekindled in the heart of every citizen of Academy City.
At the same time, the Third Prince, who had just hidden in the shuttle, looked through the glass with a sinister expression at Su Nian and Mo Yuan Sir, who were hogging all the spotlight.
‘All the glory had been snatched away by these two!’
Su Nian was one thing; she was his future chosen Princess and his source of support.
‘As for that Mo Yuan Sir… damn him!’
