“I, I…”
Princess Summer had no idea how Theresa could still smile.
Theresa’s bravery only accentuated her weakness. Her hands were shaking, and she could not hold the saber any longer. She was about to cry. “I don’t dare. I can’t.”
At the same time, the Demonic Halberd Pig snorted. Two streams of hot air spurted out of its nostrils, and its red bean-sized eyes were beaming with brutality and greed again.
It turned over and got up.
“Come on, you can do it!”
Theresa encouraged Princess Summer, “Nobody can protect you forever. Not Black Jack, not me. I will fight side by side with you, but I cannot protect you forever. Sister Summer, summon your courage and fight for yourself with your saber!”
“No, no, no…” Princess Summer blushed and shook her head hard.
Before she made up her mind, the boar lowered its head and charged at them again with its head held high.
“Careful!”
Theresa strode forward and blocked Princess Summer’s way. She raised her battle saber high, the edge of which was mixed with the momentum of lightning and thunder. She slashed at the head of the Demonic Halberd Pig brutally as if she were going to slay a tornado!
Unfortunately, the top of the head of the Demonic Halberd Pig was the hardest part of its body.
Theresa did not have full control over her brand-new body, either. Her control over her strength was almost flawless.
More importantly, the saber in her hand was a standard weapon commonly used by bounty hunters and mercenaries. Besides, it had been used many times and was covered in cracks.
It was not the super weapons of the Star Glory Federation or the Imperium of True Human Beings that boasted cutting-edge technologies such as metal smelting, crystal embedding, and magical equipment manufacturing.
BAM!
The saber and the bone spurs on the head of the Demonic Halberd Pig collided brutally. Before Theresa’s strength to slay the lightning was fully unleashed, the saber was already shattered because of the intense blast.
There was only the handle of the saber in Theresa’s hand.
Before the strength in his body poured out, his body had already lost balance. Instead, the Demonic Halberd Pig seized the opportunity and heavily crashed into him.
Like a kite whose string had been cut off, Theresa flew thirty meters away and vomited a mouthful of blood.
“Teresa!”
Princess Summer was so scared that she rushed close and cried when she saw the blood on her chest.
“I—I’m fine.”
Theresa was breathing heavily. When she lowered her head, she found that the leather armor she was wearing had been riddled with dozens of holes.
The impact of the monster was indeed tremendous.
Thankfully, he was wearing leather armor, and the cushion on his chest was strong enough. Otherwise, several of his bones would have been broken.
“Run!”
Tasting the blood on her lips, Theresa said to Princess Summer.
She was ready to unleash her ultimate move.
“I—”
Princess Summer’s eyes seemed to be dyed red by Theresa’s blood.
Finally, she grasped the handle of the saber with trembling hands. “I’m sorry, Theresa. I won’t run away again!”
“Hooooo!”
The Demonic Halberd Pig roared and charged at them like a cannonball again.
Even the earth that was full of weird humus had been plowed into a deep ravine.
It was intimidating and unstoppable like a giant rock that had fallen off a cliff.
Faced with such a behemoth, Princess Summer’s lips, hands, and legs were all shivering.
His tears were out of his control like pearls whose strings had been cut off.
But she still raised her saber high.
While sobbing, he gritted his teeth and encouraged himself. “Come on. I’m not scared of you. I won’t let you hurt Theresa. I won’t run away again. Come on. I’m not scared of the Demonic Halberd Pigs or the uncles!”
She was so terrified that she closed her eyes and slashed her saber down clumsily.
Theresa sniffed.
His young face, on the other hand, was filled with the indifference of a seasoned warrior.
There was also a hint of… gratitude?
The handle of the saber, which had lost its edge, was still clutched in her palm, neither too lightly nor too heavily. Instead, it was raised high by her, like a torch that was about to be ignited.
Mysterious magical power was swirling around her. Spiral ripples were condensing toward the handle of the saber.
Theresa started singing in a voice that had a hint of the ancient era.
“Search: All available Level 3 Offensive Spells.”
“Order: casting speed, from fast to slow.
“Extract: Level-3 spell, Flame Dragon’s Roar.
“Attack pattern: Attach to the saber and lock onto the target. Ignore the target after shooting.
“Target locked: Ten meters ahead, Demonic Halberd Pig.”
“Number of attacks: If the attack is effective, continue to attack until the target dies; if the attack is ineffective, after three attacks, it will automatically be replaced by a Level 2 Offensive Spell, Ice Arrow Sting.”
“Application description completed.
“Submit and execute!”
When he uttered the last sentence of the spell, a series of complicated runes appeared around his raised arm, forming a 3D magical array.
On the handle of the saber, a burning torch was ignited where it had been empty. The flames soared into the sky like a spring and condensed into a raging dragon of magma.
“Go to hell, animal!”
With a weird flash, Theresa appeared in front of Princess Summer.
His hands performed a beautiful trick. The Flame Dragon Saber, which had been raised high, was slashed down.
Instead of fighting the hardest part of the Demonic Halberd Pig’s skull head-on, Li Yao locked onto the softest part of its throat below its head.
Hu!
The fiery dragon pierced into the throat of the Demonic Halberd Pig at a lightning-like speed.
The beast opened its mouth and screamed in pain.
But Theresa was much faster than it had imagined. A second flame condensed into a sharp blade on the handle of the saber and darted at its bloody mouth.
The Demonic Halberd Pig’s reaction was quite quick. It gritted its teeth, trying to bite off the handle of Theresa’s saber along with her wrist.
But as it turned out, Theresa was still feinting. There was no body of the saber, but the handle of the saber was hundreds of times more agile. The saber turned into a dagger and stuck to the left eye of the Demonic Halberd Pig easily.
“Chi!”
The third attack spell, ‘Roaring Flame Dragon’, burst out in front of the left eye of the Demonic Halberd Pig.
The flames of magic marched forward unstoppably, crushing the eyeballs and burning the optic nerves in the blink of an eye. They raged inside the tiny brain of the Demonic Halberd Pig and spurted out flames from its right eye, nostrils, ears, and mouth.
The head of the Demonic Halberd Pig turned into a giant fireball.
The man and the pig crossed paths for a moment. Theresa lowered her body and rolled forward beautifully, dodging the body of the Demonic Halberd Pig.
The Demonic Halberd Pig continued charging forward for dozens of meters with its burning head. In the end, it was powerless to reverse the situation and collapsed to the ground.
