Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1283 - 814: Dark Moon Sword (Part 2)

"In such a hurry to leave?"

Kaius had just dispersed the spiritual body before him and was about to briefly cover the retreat of the main force when a flash of light dazzled his eyes, followed by a stranger's voice reaching his ears.

Such speed!

As soon as the voice reached his ears, he swung his blade towards the direction of the sound, unleashing three streaks of blade qi that instantly leveled the nearby buildings!

However, his hand holding the blade felt no sensation of cutting a living being; instead, a sense of danger triggered the alarm in his heart.

"Actually, I'm here."

Endless flashes of blades exploded in the opposite direction of Kaius's attack!

"Boom boom boom—"

In an instant, the ground within a few hundred meters was finely diced, the white bricks flew everywhere from the tremendous force, blasting dust into the air. Kaius's body flew through the dust and crashed into the ruins of a building, barely coming to a halt.

The strength of this move was even more potent than taking a siege cannon at point-blank range!

Its power was so overwhelming that Kaius couldn't withstand it for a moment.

"You bastard!" "Kaius, are you okay?" "Let's go!"

The commotion naturally drew the attention of the retreating Holy Light Knights. When they saw that it was Kaius who had been hit, they all stopped retreating and surrounded the area.

Hepa Town can be lost, but they must protect Commander Kaius!

"No, you all stand down."

Kaius's hoarse voice came from the ruins, and he suddenly appeared at the front of the crowd, looking a bit disheveled, but his fighting qi was growing stronger, and his long sword shimmered with magical brilliance.

"He's very strong."

The implication being, he's too strong for you to handle.

Yet the Holy Light Knights didn't leave, even after hearing that; they just didn't engage and instead guarded the surroundings.

"I didn't expect you to be so united. That was unexpected."

The magic power blew away the dust, revealing the attacker's true face, none other than "Flash" Fingerley.

After days of not seeing him, he still looked as carefree as ever, even more so, with his open shirt revealing his muscular abs, and dual blades emitting a chilling light, enchanted with the Dark Moon Light Sword attribute.

His style is quite different from other Dark Moon Sword members cosplaying as Silver Knights, clearly marking him as an elite monster or even a boss.

This guy is the leader of the Dark Moon Sword...

As soon as they recognized him, the Holy Light Knights felt an immense oppression from Fingerley, even though they had no such feeling before knowing his identity.

The rumors about the Dark Moon Sword are all wildly exaggerated, some say they favor effeminate men, or they're all vengeance-crazed killers, or they particularly enjoy cutting off their enemies' ears, and so on...

As the leader of this group of crazed perverts, it's hard to imagine Fingerley doesn't have some antisocial talents.

With this in mind, his previously handsome appearance became increasingly indescribable to the crowd.

Fingerley glanced at the rebel army, then quickly turned back, his mouth opening as if to speak.

But the next moment, Kaius charged directly at him, not giving him the chance to speak and slashed directly.

"Hey, hey, won't you let me go through the surrender procedures?"

Fingerley wielded his dual blades like a ghostly dance, precisely blocking all of Kaius's attacks, babbling incessantly like a chatterbox at the face before him.

"Hevi told me you're the leader of this army, indeed you're very strong, worthy of being a Hero, I have worked with Heroes before, you know."

Of course, by "Hero" he meant Elsa, and during the battle, he couldn't help but compare Kaius to Elsa, one a taciturn girl wielding the Fiery Fire Greatsword, the other a graceful swordsman with the Three-blade Style, each with their own charm. But if he were to evaluate them...

He still felt that Elsa had more of a presence; Kaius just seemed to lack something.

Kaius was thoroughly annoyed by this guy's chatter, cold-faced, he unleashed all his power with one strike, the brilliant blade qi soaring into the sky as if tearing the heavens apart. This was something Fingerley dared not confront directly, and so he retreated a few steps to evade at the limit, after which he even extended a hand towards Kaius.

"?"

Kaius was puzzled by this confusing gesture, and just then, the other party did something even more baffling.

"Want to join us? You've been beside Sain Dungeon for so long, don't you think it's quite nice here? Joining us can take you all over Sain."

"Why not become part of the Dark Moon Sword?"

"...."

Kaius had seen attempts to recruit enemy generals on the battlefield, and he himself had been the target of such recruitment.

But this was the first time he'd encountered a recruiter offering something other than gold, jewels, power, or attractive companions all things people typically yearn for, but this bizarre venture into the Sain Dungeon!

Is there really any competitive edge in such an offer?

Stranger still, Kaius found himself momentarily tempted.

This is bad, this offer really does have some appeal.

He was startled by his own temptation; how could he harbor such thoughts? As if trying to fling these ideas from his mind, he wildly slashed blade qi towards Fingerley, filling the space between them with blades and swords, ensuring even a fly could not pass without being shredded.

Typically, when sparring with Hevi, employing such strength usually meant he wanted to end things quickly.

"Bring it on!"

Fearlessly, Fingerley stood firm, posing in readiness to unleash his trademark move, trading immobility for a barrage of rapid slashing!

This is where his moniker "Flash" comes from!

No one knew what he had experienced during that time, but the power and speed of his technique had improved significantly, enough to fend off the oncoming blade qi!

If this move were unleashed by the Sword Saint, no one would find it odd, but coming from him, it was astonishing.

His progress was truly terrifying!

"Rumble——"

The deflected blade qi crashed in all directions, wreaking havoc on the nearly collapsing buildings, bringing them down in sweeping destruction.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

As the last of Kaius's blade qi was deflected away and extinguished, Fingerley extended his invitation once more.

This time, however, there wasn't a single response, and upon closer inspection, Kaius had already taken the Holy Light Knights and retreated during that time.

There was absolutely no desire to stay and fight.

"Sigh, as expected, it's not working."

Fingerley watched as their figures grew distant and made no move to pursue, as his main task wasn't to retain them, but to ensure experts like Kaius wouldn't inflict too much harm on the rebel soldiers.

Looking back, the rebel army had completely overcome all resistance, successfully penetrating the city.

The army of the Holy Light Church scattered in retreat, the escape routes and devices they had prepared still operable, meaning the rebel army couldn't chase after them immediately.

"Chase them, but not too far, keep your distance, just like when we're scouting the boss in Sain."

Fingerley instructed the rebel soldiers and turned to vanish from the scene.

No matter how the Holy Light Church's escape would end, at least this battle was a victory for the rebel army, who held the time, the place, and the people.

The ownership of Hepa Town switched hands once more, back to the rebel army.
