Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 498 The Descent of the Temple

The war has entered a completely new phase.

The war began with the sudden appearance of the God of Time and Space, and after Chang Lei teleported everyone in Shanghai to other places, the people on the battlefield suddenly unleashed a more terrifying destructive force than ever before.

Raising his hand to block Afran's radiant charge, the God of Time and Space hadn't even caught his breath when the lightning, carrying destructive power, once again gathered high in the sky, like a dragon churning and tumbling within waves of black clouds, making it impossible to pinpoint the exact location of the attack. "Glory!"

Afran held her knight's lance high, and boundless magic burned in every inch of the lance, emitting a seven-colored light that even caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly.

That was the tremor caused by the struggle between the flow of time and magic—in the frozen time, something was resisting the power of time and trying to suppress the power of stillness.

A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the God of Time and Space. He stared at the woman before him in astonishment and exclaimed, "How can there be an existence capable of resisting time? You, what exactly are you?!"

The God of Time and Space responded with a roar from Afran. A dazzling golden light burst forth from her chest, and then the lance shook violently. The immense impact instantly distorted the surrounding time barrier into nothingness, and the tip of the lance directly struck the God of Time and Space in the chest.

The spear pierced the chest of the God of Time and Space, but no real force was transmitted. Afran's attack was like hitting a phantom. Meanwhile, in the sky above, the God of Time and Space's body emerged from the air.

The instant it descended into reality, the thunder dragon in the sky finally made a move. A silver light suddenly emerged from the waves of black clouds, and then the thunder dragon tore through the black clouds and roared as it crashed down on the God of Time and Space below.

The terrifying lightning dragon swallowed the body of the God of Time and Space whole, twisted its massive body, and slammed into the ground with a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire city violently.

A massive shockwave rippled outwards, sweeping everything around it in all directions.

Chang Lei pulled Xiao Xiao and flashed behind a cover. Just as they were about to rest, they discovered that several people were already hiding behind the cover, including Xiao Xiao's second brother Xiao Yue, Tang Cao, and Su Siyao, as well as an old foreign man dressed in a butler's uniform.

He was an elderly but upright old man with a gentlemanly face and a very well-groomed beard. His silver-white hair was perfectly combed back, but the dust on his clothes showed that his current situation was not much better.

"Second Brother, what are you doing here!?" Xiao Xiao landed lightly and quickly asked Xiao Yue.

"We were originally planning to help direct the evacuation of the civilians." Xiao Yue smirked, then looked in Chang Lei's direction. "You—Hacks the Deceiver, nice to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Su Siyao. Nice to meet you."

"I am Tang Cao"

"Hello, hello, let's keep in touch."

Seeing that everyone had begun exchanging pleasantries, the elderly foreign man also stood up and bowed, but was quickly shaken and sat down on the ground. He leaned against the wall and forced a smile. "I came with Miss Furst. You can just call me Furst."

"Miss?"

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then her gaze suddenly turned to the golden figure on the distant battlefield.

"Are you the foreign magical girls who came from Great Britain for a visit?"

"If no other magical girls visit China in the near future, then it should be us." Halfway through his sentence, an even bigger tremor than before came, and the old man swayed and almost flew out of his body, but fortunately Xiao Yue caught him in time.

"Merlin's beard..." Forsold wiped the cold sweat from his brow with a handkerchief, then took out a pillbox from his pocket, swallowed two pills, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're still going strong, Mr. Butler," Nuomi couldn't help but admire. "How much do I usually charge for hiring you?"

Boom! Boom!

The continuous explosions instantly interrupted everyone's conversation. Chang Lei looked around and found that the battlefield had moved again. It turned out that Shi Yao, who had just been driven away, had returned with unparalleled killing intent and anger.

"My God, is this what high-level magical girls' battles are like? This level of battle is completely beyond the reach of people like us." Tangcao exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the apocalyptic scene in the distance.

"This is not just a matter of being at a high level."

The strange combination of Qiu Yunjia, Shiyao, and Afran actually suppressed the God of Time and Space for a time.

The battle between the four was almost indistinguishable from the wars of the mythological era, an age when demigods roamed the land and the destructive power of each battle was terrifying.

However, as he observed, Chang Lei noticed something interesting. After a while, he turned to look at Forseld. "I say, it seems there's something else inside your young lady's body, isn't there?"

Afran was able to fight alongside Qiu Yun and Shi Yao against the God of Time and Space, which clearly indicates that she was not just a newly entered Qing-level fighter. Chang Lei could vaguely sense that there was something inside this woman's body, something extremely threatening.

Upon hearing this, Forsold didn't hide anything; he simply gave a wry smile. "That's a secret treasure passed down through generations of the young lady's family. Originally intended to seal the ancient land of death mentioned in the prophecy, it's a legendary sacred object that only members of the young lady's family can use."

"A legendary sacred object! It's amazing!!" Tang Cao and Su Siyao exclaimed in unison.

"A sacred relic passed down from the mythological era?" Xiao Xiao was also surprised, looking at Fuseld excitedly. "Doesn't that mean that as long as we use this move, we can defeat that God of Time and Space?"

"It's not that simple..." Forsold sighed. "To wield the King of Knights' sword, one needs immense strength and a powerful mind. Most importantly, using the King's sword requires offering a sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Chang Lei, however, had figured it out. He frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "Your young lady, she wouldn't happen to be 'Sheath,' would she?" Fussold glanced at Chang Lei, then nodded silently, tacitly acknowledging the possibility.

Seeing this, Chang Lei also revealed a complicated smile.

There's nothing from the mythological era that ordinary people can use. Even in the late Arthurian period of the mythological era, everything related to the extraordinary was an anti-human practice like blood sacrifice.

But there's really nothing we can do about it. It's just wishful thinking for ordinary humans to use the legacy of the gods. You have to understand that even some demigods can't steal the power of the gods, let alone use weapons blessed by the gods.

As time has progressed to the present, although Afran has gained the power of a magical girl, the outcome of her wielding the King's Sword remains a mystery—after all, no one has ever used this sword before, and who knows if she will die if she uses it now.

Just as everyone was talking, a new anomaly occurred on the battlefield.

Qiu Yun, Shi Yao, and Afran quickly gathered together. The three of them had worked together very well, but they were not very familiar with each other, and it could even be said that they were meeting for the first time.

"...There's nothing I can do; my lightning can't penetrate his core defenses."

"That's normal. Its core is hidden outside the timeline, meaning it's not in our reality."

Afran glanced at Shiyao with a strange look in her eyes, but she still spoke up. "So that means as long as we find a way to break through the constraints of the timeline and destroy the core, we can deal with this guy, right?"

Shiyao sensed the strangeness in Afraid's eyes. For some reason, she felt that several of the foreigner's attacks were aimed at her. After a pause, Shiyao nodded slightly. "You could say that. I do have an idea."

"I also have an idea," Avran said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun looked at the two people beside her with surprise.

She was still anxious about how to break through the constraints of time to attack the opponent's core, but unexpectedly, the two people beside her already had a plan. Then, Shi Yao spoke up indignantly, "You cover me, let me transform into shadows to corrode his core. The constraints of time can affect matter, but they cannot affect the two-dimensional world."

"Wait a minute, if you do this, even if you succeed, you'll be caught in the time turbulence, and you'll die a horrible death!" Qiu Yun couldn't help but say.

"Exactly," Afran also tried to dissuade him. "Let me go. I've already missed my destiny. By Merlin's grace, my ancestors have given me another chance. Let me pay with my life to cleave him in two!"

"..." Qiu Yun was helpless after hearing Afran's words.

She naively believed that these two had genuinely discovered each other's weaknesses, and that their methods involved risking their lives to fight to the death. Seriously, couldn't they find a way to avoid mutual destruction?

"Let me go, I have experience with death!"

"No, let me go, this is my last chance!"

"What does this have to do with you? I've never even seen you before, and you're not even Chinese, are you? Why are you so excited?" "Saving the world knows no nationality, and this sword strike was originally meant for you. You, the guy in the shadows, have already made me miss one chance. I can't let you take away my chance again."

"Who took away your chance?!"

Clang!

During the argument, a chilling metallic scraping sound interrupted the three's conversation.

All eyes turned toward the direction from which the sound came, only to see streaks of fireballs, like shooting stars, streak across the sky and crash into the river and the city. These were fragments that had broken off when the temple had forced its way into reality, and in an instant, explosions erupted throughout the city.
