Chapter 127 Just get to that place!
"Your Highness!"
Just as Bailong flew away, the door to the dressing room was finally knocked open by the knights outside. Shelley, who was in the lead, almost threw himself on the ground.
"Here, I'm fine."
The last bit of power that sealed the door disappeared in front of the Demon King's divine power, so the knights of the guard were able to break the door open.
Seeing that Viola was safe, Shelley and several knights of the Guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then they saw that a wall in the dressing room had disappeared.
"Your Highness, why do you seem to be glowing?"
"It's the divine power given to me by your Majesty."
Viola had just noticed her changes, so she had no time just now.
"What happened?"
"We'll figure it out later. Come with me."
Viola rushed out of the locker room in a hurry, Shelley and Konoe quickly followed, and the group ran to the training ground at the back of the castle.
They rushed down the stairs like the wind. When they reached the first floor and ran into the hall leading to the training ground, they happened to run into the city lord Walter and his cronies who were hurriedly coming from the banquet hall.
"What happened to your highness, Princess?"
"One of the centipede's fangs turned into an assassin and attacked me in the locker room."
"How could it be... There is a magic barrier in the castle to protect against transgender creatures."
Transfiguration and illusions are not uncommon in magic. Of course, they are prepared to protect the safety of dignitaries.
"The reason can be studied after it is resolved. I asked the white dragon on your side to take the fangs of the Centipede Lord to the training ground."
"I will summon the soldiers right away. Your Highness, please wait here and don't take any more risks."
Walter also understood that it was better to solve the problem first and then talk about the reason.
The royal family of Avarus is famous for its troubles. Although this royal family is generally rich in martial arts, anything can happen in battle. Kings and princes are so weak, so Viola cannot be allowed to Go on.
Of course Viola wanted to continue to fight, and it was so bullied that her head was hit, so it was unreasonable not to cut it.
She was about to explain that she had the power given by the Demon King and it would be fine, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was obviously stunned.
Then Viola changed her words:
"Lord Walter, is the person behind you trustworthy?"
Not knowing why Viola suddenly asked this, Walter turned sideways and glanced back.
"You mean Internal Affairs Officer Lukes? Of course he is trustworthy and has been working for me for almost ten years."
Facing the princess directly, Lux's internal affairs officer behind Walter showed a flattering and a little panic smile.
But Viola was unmoved, and she asked again:
"Have you eaten anything he gave me recently?"
"It's just some potions. Internal Affairs Officer Lukes knows pharmacy. I've been busy with official duties recently and my energy can't keep up. But the potions will be fine. The formula used is an ancient recipe passed down from generation to generation in my family."
Viola turned around and asked:
"I want to see if you have any potion on you."
"Um... I'm sorry, Princess. Because I don't have any potions on me without the City Lord's permission, I will only prepare them when the City Lord needs them."
"Really?"
Viola, who was staring closely at Internal Affairs Officer Lux, suddenly punched Walter in front of her without warning.
"Your Highness... Your Majesty?"
This punch hit the abdomen directly, and Walter was beaten into the shape of a prawn. The first reaction of the city lord's cronies present was to touch weapons, but then they remembered that this was a princess, and they all froze in place for a moment.
After being beaten, Walter bent over and faced the floor, spitting out a mouthful of blood. It looked like he had been beaten badly.
But then, people saw some centipede-like insects as big as rice grains in the blood spat out by Lord Walter. Some were motionless, and some were still twitching.
The most shocked person was Walter, who couldn’t believe that he had vomited it out.
"This, what is this?"
"The Centipede Lord's little trick." Viola's iron boots stepped on the pile of insects, and the steaming divine power burned them away instantly.
The Tolan family are nobles promoted from common people. Although they have become marquises, they are not high-ranking demons and have no resistance to poison.
Besides, even if you are resistant to toxins, you are powerless against parasites.
Viola's knights and Walter's personal guards drew their weapons and pointed at Internal Affairs Officer Lukes, who was standing frozen on the spot.
"Your Highness, City Lord, this must be a misunderstanding. Please allow me to explain..."
There was sweat on the face under the hood of Internal Affairs Officer Lukes, and he raised his hands very nervously to indicate that he was not in danger. Facing the approaching knights and the city lord's personal guards, he cautiously retreated, looking like he was frightened.
Viola was not deceived, she immediately reminded loudly:
"Don't be fooled by him, he is a shape-shifting creature!"
Before he finished speaking, Internal Affairs Officer Lux's body swelled, as if something inside was breaking free. With a loud bang, the flesh and blood of Lux's internal affairs officer were scattered on the floor, and an identical ten-meter-long centipede appeared on top of a large mass of blood.
Its complex insect mouthparts made a clicking sound, and it might be cursing, but it had no intention of quarreling. With a turn of its huge body, it swept away the incoming sword and turned around and ran away.
The long swords of the guards knights hit its carapace, causing sparks to pierce. It seemed that it did not break the defense, and the shields in the hands of the city lord's guards could not stop it at all. It spread out in a row like a small train. Amputate your long legs and run away.
Hill, who was standing on the side of the guard knight, opened his longbow and shot two arrows. One of the arrows hit the gap in the carapace and penetrated, but that was all, and it did not cause any damage at all.
The fangs of the Centipede Lord belong to a special kind of shape-shifting creature, which twists its body into the shape of a centipede under the influence of the Centipede Lord's divine power and will.
Although Viola cuts them like melons and vegetables, they are extremely difficult for ordinary people to deal with. At least, the bodyguards and knights alone cannot stop them.
Viola pushed away the crowd, took two quick steps to catch up, but before she could get out of the door, the divine power covering her body shattered into countless light spots with a click.
This is when the divine power is exhausted.
The first time Viola used her divine power, she used it too wildly, especially in the locker room, which consumed almost 90% of her power.
The soldiers who came after hearing the noise immediately saw this oversized centipede, and their hearts immediately became filled with tears.
They quickly formed a shield wall and spear array, trying to block the centipede's path.
But the Centipede Lord's tusks are too strong. Its carapace is comparable to heavy plate armor. Its strength can easily overturn an elephant. With its huge size of ten meters long, it doesn't even bother to circle around it. It directly takes it from the soldier's policy. Hit it.
For a moment, people were on their backs, and the soldiers' targets were instantly hit and pierced.
As for this big centipede, it also knows that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
The mission to stab the princess failed and he was exposed. They were able to break out now because the soldiers were unprepared and the number was too small. If they continued to struggle and waited for reinforcements to arrive, they would not be able to escape no matter how hard they fought.
Besides, Princess Viola seems to have supernatural powers. It would be awesome if she could fight her.
So its only idea was to run away, first escape, and then report the fact that Princess Viola was the chosen one.
It sounds difficult. Where can such a big centipede go?
But it’s not difficult at all, for example, walking through the huge and complicated sewers underground in Qihang City.
It is probably more familiar with the situation below than the urban construction department of Qihang City. As long as it gets in, it is impossible to catch up with it.
And it can already see that there is a sewer manhole cover less than fifteen meters away. As a shape-shifting creature, it can easily get in by shrinking its body.
That is, just get there! As long as I get to that place, I win!
But history is always so strikingly similar, and setting a flag will not end well.
Just before it was about to hit the manhole cover, the giant centipede felt its body suddenly stop, as if it was stuck by something, and then severe pain hit its nerves like a rainstorm.
It curled up its carapace-covered body and looked back. A huge iron rod came from nowhere and pierced the carapace at its tail, nailing it directly to the spot.
It initially thought that the city lord ordered someone to fire the ballistae, but then it saw a black hole in the air, and a new iron rod shot out from the void, hitting the next section of the carapace.
The crisp sound of the carapace being torn apart reached the ears of the crowd who came over, and the iron drills that came out of nowhere were pierced into the centipede's body in order from back to front.
This caused it to let out a horrifying scream, and dark green insect blood spread everywhere.
--hold head high!
Amidst the roar of the dragon, another giant centipede was dropped from the sky by the white dragon. To be precise, it turned into two and was torn apart by the white dragon.
The Centipede Lord's fangs let out a final whimper, and as the iron drill easily pierced its head, the giant centipede stayed in place like an insect specimen.
