"Auntie! Get up quickly! You don't need to kneel." Illustrious quickly helped Fielan up.
Seeing that Fielan was naked, Illustrious immediately used her divine power to manifest a dress for her. Seeing that she was no longer naked, Fielan immediately thanked Illustrious again. Illustrious stopped her, saying, "You're welcome, Auntie! You and Nagato stay here; I'm going to kill the culprit who destroyed this village."
"Aircraft Carrier, you stay here and protect them," Illustrious said, turning to Aircraft Carrier.
"Don't worry, Sister! I will protect them well," Aircraft Carrier said with a nod.
Having received Aircraft Carrier's reply, Illustrious immediately erupted with a terrifying aura from within. After sensing the enemy's location, she immediately took flight and shot toward the sensed position.
The Undead King was constantly commanding the Skeleton Soldiers to harvest the lives of this village. Busy as he was, he suddenly noticed a powerful aura shooting toward him.
"Such a powerful aura. Could the newcomer be Victory, the strongest person in the Normanke Kingdom? If that's the case, I'll have to kill her and turn her into my subordinate, a Skeleton Mage," the Undead King said excitedly.
A silver stream of light flew rapidly before the Undead King, coming to a halt about thirty feet away. Once stopped, the silver light gradually faded, and Illustrious herself appeared in mid-air.
Illustrious sized up the culprit who had destroyed the village. He wore a black robe, his entire body was a skeleton, and his size was nearly ten times larger than a Skeleton Soldier. He was enveloped in countless wisps of black energy, making him look quite terrifying.
"Are you the one who turned this village into a living hell?" Illustrious said to the Undead King.
The Undead King was a bit disappointed to see that the newcomer wasn't Victory, but seeing that Illustrious was quite strong, he became excited again. Even if it wasn't Victory, turning Illustrious into his subordinate would be good too! So he replied coldly to Illustrious, "That's right, I'm the one who destroyed it. What, do you think you can kill me?"
"Very well! Since you've admitted it, I'll give you two paths! First, suicide. Second, be killed by me. Choose for yourself!" Illustrious said sternly.
"Hahaha! Such big talk! You are the first person who dares to speak to me, the Undead King, like that. Woman, I am very interested in you. After I kill you, I will definitely turn you into my subordinate. State your name! I never kill nameless nobodies," the Undead King laughed.
"My name is Illustrious, just a passing ordinary person," Illustrious said calmly.
Hearing the powerful Illustrious, whom he didn't dare ignore, claim to be an ordinary person, the Undead King's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He said angrily, "Who are you kidding? Do you think I'm blind? Just the fact that you can walk on air means you can't be an ordinary person. Since you dare to treat me like a fool, I won't hold back! I'll kill you with one blow. Remember my name well before you die! I am Griffin, the Undead King."
The Undead King constantly gathered the death energy around him. Countless strands of terrifying magic power filled his large black scythe. The black scythe erupted with a piercing red light that grew more intense until it was like a brilliant sun in the sky, looking quite spectacular.
"Death Blood Blade!"
At a certain moment, the space around the Undead King instantly froze. He swung his scythe fiercely toward Illustrious. Red light flashed with a cold shout that echoed through the sky, and a red energy crescent blade nearly fifty feet wide shot out from the scythe.
The crescent blade sliced through the sky and vanished in a flash. The sudden, terrifying aura caused ripples in space, making Illustrious's dress flutter even without wind.
The power of the crescent blade was too terrifying; the space it passed through vibrated, and the air constantly rushed back to fill the void, hinting at the sharpness of this blade.
Accompanied by a series of sonic booms, the crescent blade was like a celestial being flying from the heavens, leaving a prominent red arc in the azure sky.
Gazing calmly at the crescent blade attacking in an instant, Illustrious's face didn't show the slightest ripple. She gripped a silver longsword and held it high. The silver sword erupted with a piercing silver light so dazzling that it was impossible to look at directly.
"Heavenless Sword!"
With a calm expression, Illustrious gave a low shout. Her eyes fixed on the Undead King not far away, she swung the longsword down with force. A silver crescent blade nearly fifty feet wide shot out from the sword.
The massive silver crescent blade sliced through the sky. Its indomitable and formidable power seemed as if it would cleave the sky in half.
With a sharp whistling sound and oppressive energy, it was like a silver meteor, piercing through space like lightning and shooting toward the Undead King.
The silver crescent blade sliced through the horizon. Under the Gaze of Illustrious and the Undead King, it collided violently with the red crescent blade that was rushing in like lightning. The two crescent blades clashed like colliding meteors. A thunderous sound exploded at the point of contact, and low sonic booms echoed wave after wave across the sky.
The energy shockwave from the collision surged out from the point of contact, creating ripples in space that eventually spread in all directions. The roofs of the village houses below were blown off by this massive pressure, the surrounding grass and flowers were all pressed down unable to rise, and the village poultry were all shaken to death alive.
The power contained in the silver crescent blade was too staggering. The red crescent blade didn't last long before it was cleaved in two by the silver one, which continued to shoot toward the Undead King with undiminished momentum.
Seeing his red crescent blade actually being shattered, the Undead King's face was filled with horror. He couldn't believe that the silver crescent blade Illustrious released was so domineering. For a moment, unable to accept this reality, the Undead King froze in place, motionless.
Staring fixedly at the silver crescent blade, he realized that after shattering the red one, it hadn't weakened at all and continued to strike like lightning. The Undead King immediately snapped out of it. Now, he didn't dare to slight this silver crescent blade in the least. His intuition told him that if he didn't block this attack, he would definitely die!
The Undead King immediately deployed a red Magic Shield around himself, equivalent to the level of a Saint-rank Professional. Even with the red Magic Shield deployed, the Undead King still felt unsafe, so he added a Magic Barrier to his body. Only after having this double insurance did the Undead King nod and say, "Now I can finally feel at ease!"
Bang! The silver crescent blade crashed violently into the red Magic Shield. Seeing the red Magic Shield block the silver crescent blade, the Undead King was very happy. Unfortunately, his joy didn't last long. The silver crescent blade easily sliced through the red Magic Shield like cutting through tofu, shattering it and heading toward the Undead King's second line of defense.
