My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 88: God-tier Weapon Clash

If one could see supernatural beings such as intangible demons and ghosts, that person rarely got scared by anything, even though that person was in the middle of a dark forest full of hidden dangers.

Even so, Ely was always alert. Her reliable disciples were already there, but she still checked her surroundings periodically. She also used her Sacred Vision every now and then.

The reason?

No ghost or demon could scare her, but she feared a jumpscare. It was a terrible sense of surprise. She could trigger something that she shouldn’t do by reflex. Not to mention, she was holding Celestia’s aura sword.

Even if it was just the sword made of darkness aura, it was still something that came from a God-tier sword. Any demon and ghost were cut like tofu even though she exerted almost no strength.

’Hehe~ With a good weapon and artifact in my hands, it can compensate for my lack of strength. I can be called a Sword God by now, right? Hum-mm~’ Ely hummed in her heart as she floated towards the secret realm’s gate.

Uriel brought several flying artifacts, and she requested one for her. It was a flying bracelet. The flying speed couldn’t be called impressive, and the altitude was only a few meters above the ground. Nevertheless, she didn’t need to expend much energy to walk. It also required a little spiritual energy to operate.

[Ely (???) | 0th Rank]

[HP: 75.6K/100 | MP: 7.53M/4,500 | SP: 650.5K/4,500]

[Talent: 6 Stars | Legendary]

[STR: 10 (Limit) | DEX: 10 (Limit) | CON: 152 | PER: 200 | ARC: 10 (Limit) | VIT: 656.1K | LCK: 100 (Max)]

Ely checked her current status using her Lost Prayer.

Compared to last month, she got a massive increase in stats, especially MP, SP, and VIT. Those three stats were the easiest ones to increase, and she was confident with that.

Her PER increased after some unique training and special meditation. Also, her CON accidentally increased by one point.

The last time her CON increased was from the Demon God of Necromacy’s incident. As for the mysterious one-point increase, she had no idea how she got it, even after she checked the log history several times.

Nevertheless, it was already impressive for this month’s progress. She did the stats farming really well.

The only requirement was for her to strengthen herself by increasing her stats. So, she was the key to unsealing her Goddess Master.

Ely was so motivated, and her path to quickly increase her stats was to slay some evil creatures! Even so, she couldn’t slaughter just any demons and monsters.

"Hmm?" Ely could sense a sudden spike of God-tier energy coming from the south.

She stopped and landed, and her disciples did too.

"Is there something wrong, master?" Remiel used her advanced hearing sensors but couldn’t sense any threats within a five-hundred-meter radius.

She then looked at Azrael, and he shook his head.

No demons or ghosts dared to approach, thanks to their master’s sword of darkness. They were actually the threat to the demons and ghosts right now.

"Come to think of it, I asked the nightmare demons to meet me back after they had gathered enough people. The designated place is their northern military base. We still need to return for the deal and rescue our allies." Ely tapped her chin and looked up slightly.

"Then, what to do? Elder Yuuki and the others are waiting for your return, master. But, we can also return using the teleportation crystal to their side instantly." Uriel raised her hand as she expressed her mind.

"Hmm, we must handle the ancient demons’ matter first." Ely put her mask and her dark knight helmet back on.

She turned around and left to check the spike energy source. A great battle was clearly going on over there.

They could go to Yuuki’s side instantly using the teleportation crystal. After all, they were not in a restricted zone or forbidden area.

Only one 10th Rank gigantic demonic monster arrived at Yuuki’s side.

So, the other ancient demon ancestors had not made their move. They might have returned to their territory because of the Nightmare Demon Ancestor’s deeds.

[Celestia wakes up]

[Celestia senses another God-tier weapon nearby]

[Celestia is curious]

"Eh?" Ely gasped as Celestia woke up. The aura of the sword in her hand dissipated, and Celestia flew into her grip. The sword then dragged her flying through the sky at an impressive speed.

Ely’s disciples were surprised but immediately shot up to catch up with their master. Something unexpected might have happened, and their amster could wait no longer.

A great battle occurred between more than a dozen suppressed cultivators against many ancient demons.

The cultivators couldn’t exert power more than Core Formation Realm, and the ancient demons were much more potent than them. However, they had an exceptional spear master with a mighty weapon in his hand.

"Haiyaa!" Bai Yuchen swung his spear and pierced the demon’s heart.

"Argh!" The demon tried to grab the tiger demi-human before him, but that person kicked him down and crushed his demon’s heart with that glowing holy spear.

Once the demon died, Bai Yuchen moved to slay the other demons.

"This is a dire and difficult battle. I have over a dozen people to protect, and the enemies are strong..." Bai Yuchen killed another demon.

He was aware that it was a desperate battle. It was only a matter of time until he was exhausted, and it would be game over.

He could break out of the encirclement and leave the others behind, but that was impossible for him to do. Although the other cultivators could provide almost no help in this battle, he would keep everyone safe.

Bai Yuchen tried to observe his entire situation. He tried his best to find a way to get out of this encirclement with the others safely.

A particular mesmerizing demoness with dark purple hair wrapped in a fancy black dress came into his view. She stood beside a 4th Rank demon maid and two mighty protectors.

It was easy to tell that sexy demoness held an important role and status. Probably, the ancient demon’s princess.

If he could make her his hostage, he could threaten the other demons to retreat. In that way, he could safely bring the others to the secret realm’s portal.

"You are pretty strong, but how long can you last with many burdens behind you?" A muscular demon tried to catch the cat demi-human behind the white tiger boy.

*Slash*

Bai Yuchen swung his spear and cut off that demon’s arm. He then slashed that demon into a mincemeat.

He was still a Core Formation Realm expert, and this secret realm’s suppression didn’t suppress anything as he was already at 3rd Rank. His power stemmed from his Heartseeker Spear, and this holy weapon was super effective at slaying demons, regardless of their strength difference.

A particular cat girl blushed at that sight. She held her daggers and attacked the nearby low-class demons, but she could barely injure them.

She and the others could only endure and buy time for Bai Yuchen to slay those demons...

"Don’t ever touch them." Bai Yuchen growled at the demons.

He then made his sudden swift movement to break through the encirclement.

Everyone almost thought he was about to run away and leave the others behind. However, that was only a hindsight assumption.

He went straight to the most dangerous opponent!

"You overestimate yourself, tiger cub." One of the protectors stepped forward to protect the young lady from harm.

*Rumble* *Boom!*

Bai Yuchen’s holy spear clashed with the 9th Rank nightmare demon’s cursed sword, causing a blast.

Unfortunately, the difference in weapon levels was too significant. The SSS Rank spear crushed the cursed sword into pieces, and the 9th Rank nightmare demon’s arm was chopped off by Bai Yuchen’s follow-up slash.

Bai Yuchen made no further offensive move. He used the opportunity to kidnap the demon princess.

He was just a few centimeters from his target. The demon princess was shocked and didn’t move. He almost made it. He would use her as a hostage and ensure everyone’s safe retreat like this!

However, a terrible sense of danger suddenly gripped his heart. Heartseeker Spear even felt trembling in fear!

*Swoosh!*

The gust of wind cleared the dust from the surrounding, and a dark knight demon shot down like a missile from the northern sky.

"Move away!" Ely couldn’t stop the sword in her hand. Celestia didn’t even slow down its flight speed.

It was a terrible flight experience. At this rate, she would crash!

Bai Yuchen made a defensive stance reflexively as if his spear had ordered it in an emergency.

*Clang!* *Boom!*

Celestia Sword clashed with the Heartseeker Spear. Two God-tier weapons with opposing elements collided, causing a massive holy light and abyss of darkness energy blast.

Yet, the spear master was sent flying right after. His holy spear’s rank was far inferior to the sword of darkness.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

Bai Yuchen rolled several tens of meters and crashed into several large trees. He only stopped after he knocked down the fourth tree.

"Ghak!" Bai Yuchen coughed up a mouthful of blood.

That dark knight demon was mighty. A terrifying knight demon had appeared. Nobody could go against that demon. Even the God-tier spear in his hand was hit by the darkness debuff...

"Bai Yuchen!" The catgirl went past the surprised demons to save her dear friend, regardless of anything.
