After an unknown amount of time, Cosmos finally stopped trembling.
In mid-air, the celestial bodies that had been continuously releasing ribbons of light had stopped, only maintaining their celestial-like rotations and revolutions as their starlight began to dim.
And in the center of the stars, the white wings were now riddled with holes and scorched black.
“Bang!”
Finally, as if unable to hold on any longer, the closed white wings suddenly shattered, scattering into countless feathers.
Amidst the feathers, Katarine’s figure reappeared in the air, but as if exhausted, her body slumped, her head drooped, and she fell directly towards the ground.
“Thud!”
A moment later, the Imperial Princess crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, barely clinging to life.
Only then did Shien descend from the sky, carrying countless celestial bodies, and land back on the ground.
“It seems I’ve won.”
With these words, Shien smiled slightly and waved his hand. The celestial bodies surrounding him immediately vanished, leaving only a dazzling, galaxy-like glimmer.
“It’s over.”
In the distance, Lasha finally spoke, her voice still calm and composed.
Even though a fierce battle that ordinary people would definitely consider a disaster had just occurred before her eyes, this maid, with a level of only five and almost no combat ability, could remain so calm. It had to be said that this was truly a skill.
But it seemed that not only Lasha possessed this skill, but also Emerald.
Emerald was as if she had just watched a play. Apart from blinking her eyes with a hint of drowsiness, she wasn’t frightened at all.
On the other hand, Airi looked at Shien deeply.
“Your strength has improved really quickly.”
This Hero was growing extremely fast, far exceeding Airi’s expectations.
“Although I don’t know what his Unique Skill is, if he can be this strong without using the Holy Sword, I guess it won’t be long before he truly reaches our level.” 𐍂ANΟ฿Ɛs
That’s what Airi thought.
As for the female knights who were bound on the scene, seeing their princess defeated like this, their faces still held strong shock and disbelief.
“Princess Katarine actually lost…?”
“How…How is this possible…!?”
They seemed unwilling to believe what was before their eyes.
After all, they had witnessed Katarine using her full strength and still being defeated.
Moreover, she wasn’t defeated by one of the legendary powerhouses renowned throughout the human realm, but by a young nobleman they had never even heard of before.
“How could Princess Katarine lose to someone her own age…?”
“Even if the opponent were that Kingdom’s treasure, the Princess couldn’t possibly lose so easily!”
“How…How could he be so strong?”
“This is a joke, right…?”
The female knights of the Severed Blade Knights looked at Shien with eyes full of shock and anger.
Shien glanced at them, then waved his hand, releasing the restraints on the female knights.
“Princess!”
“Princess!”
The female knights, having just regained their freedom, immediately reacted and rushed towards Katarine, anxiously checking her condition.
“Don’t worry.” Shien curled his lip. “She just lost all her magic power and stamina, that’s why she collapsed from exhaustion. She’s not seriously injured.”
Having been afflicted with so many negative Advanced effects, and still stubbornly fighting, using her Unique Skill to withstand the onslaught of [Starry Arrays], it was impossible for her not to collapse from exhaustion.
But it was just exhaustion.
Apart from exhaustion, the Imperial Princess had no other problems.
“I’ve already removed all the negative status magic on her. After a good night’s sleep, she’ll be bouncing around again.” Shien smiled at the female knights. “If you understand, then quickly take your princess and get out of here.”
“You…!?”
Shien’s merciless words angered the female knights.
“What about me?” Shien said nonchalantly. “She’s allowed to say a whole bunch of things in front of others, but others aren’t allowed to say a harsh word to her? Give me a break!”
Saying so, Shien looked at the female knights.
“When your princess wakes up, tell her that I welcome her to come find trouble with me anytime, but don’t let me hear her say another word about Roselucia behind her back.”
“Otherwise…”
Shien showed a brilliant smile.
“Next time I win against her, I’ll strip her naked right then and there.”
Those words enraged the female knights.
