"Sorry, sorry, I just went to find Faelana. I'm a bit late. I hope I didn't delay anything?"
"No, no, Your Majesty Green, we are already grateful for your presence."
The guards of Tia spoke like this. They were still in awe of Green, not only because of Aloof and others' attitude towards him, but also because of Green's own demeanor.
At first glance, most people might think that Green is just an ordinary person. But only those who have reached their level can see the extraordinary in Green's every move.
At least, it is not an easy task to appear so relaxed and self-assured in front of so many people.
"Now that Green is here, let's discuss the next plan."
Fred nodded and his subordinates spread out a large map that had already been prepared, with a lot of information that made Green's head spin. But the actual plan was simple after the meeting.
This time, the "Witch" was discovered to have appeared in a remote area, which was the destination mentioned in the intelligence - a town in the remote area.
The town was called - Little Town.
For Green and the others, travel was no longer difficult. Green could easily use his own power to swiftly transport everyone to their destination.
But that would be boring.
"I'll leave the task of subduing the Sinful Mage to you all. Unless necessary, I won't interfere."
Finally, after the armies of various countries gathered, the group set off swiftly on their journey.
It is worth mentioning that Aloof and the others did not participate in the operation because they were not very interested. In other words, apart from Green, this expeditionary force did not have any particularly outstanding power.
But that does not mean this expeditionary force should be underestimated.
For this world, Green was an outsider, while the Sinful Mage and the expeditionary force were native inhabitants. Even without the help of outsiders, this force that gathered the power of more than half of the continent could not be easily defeated.
On the contrary, with Green's presence, everyone felt more confident and their morale soared, which also elevated their strength.
On the way, Green basically lay on the top of the carriage, staring at the sky, lost in thought. Tia occasionally glanced at Green, wondering what she was thinking.
In this expeditionary force, there were many elite soldiers from her country, and Tia's close friend and maid, Alice, also joined the operation, so Tia shouldn't feel too lonely.
Alice also saw Green and knew that he was the man with the monkey mask from before.
It must be said that she didn't expect Green to have such a harmless appearance.
"Tia, do you think we have a chance of winning this expedition?"
"Of course, even if he doesn't take action, the soldiers of our Caesar Empire are not worthless. Maybe that 'Witch' is already planning how to surrender to us."
After hearing Alice's words, Tia finally shifted her gaze away from Green, her tone slightly dissatisfied.
Alice could also sense Tia's slight displeasure towards Green. Although she didn't know what happened during this time, she suppressed her curiosity and remained silent, continuing on their way.
Until a giant beast appeared, breaking the tranquility of the journey.
Just as the army was advancing steadily, the ground suddenly shook, and the soldiers quickly stabilized themselves. Green also woke up from his half-sleep due to this movement.
Before long, with a series of rumbling sounds, a large pit suddenly opened about ten meters ahead, and then a colossal beast emerged from it.
"It's a monster!"
After a soldier shouted, the people around immediately went on high alert.
However, despite this alert, no one really took the monster seriously. After all, compared to the Sinful Mage, the presence of the monster could be said to be completely non-threatening.
The soldiers from all sides began to launch an attack on the monster.
It was an extremely large monster with a reptile-like appearance. It had two thick and long black antennae on its forehead, giving it a fierce appearance. Especially, it spewed unknown black and foul-smelling liquid from its mouth.As a highly experienced and professional novel translator, I am fluent in both Chinese and English translation.
With a powerful soldier taking the lead, the rest of the soldiers quickly followed suit and launched various attacks. All kinds of magic appeared, dazzling the eye.
"Watch out for defense!"
However, as the battle went on, some soldiers clearly noticed that this giant monster seemed to be somewhat unusual. Despite receiving numerous attacks and visibly showing signs of injuries, within the blink of an eye, its wounds disappeared completely.
The situation was too incredible for the soldiers to comprehend, and they thought they were hallucinating.
These soldiers were able to notice, and Green was naturally not going to ignore it either. However, he did not rush to take action. If everything had to be done by him, then it would be too boring, and he would feel like a nanny protecting them.
It was like taking care of children, but Green didn't like taking care of others.
But Green could also see that this beast was not going to be easily defeated. So after observing the battle for some time, he reached into his personal space and drew out a sword.
"Master... have you lost interest in me?"
"..."
Green ignored Balibeil's slightly disappointed voice because the sword he drew out was not Balibeil. Balibeil was too abnormal, and Green had no interest in using her, especially against enemies of this level.
The sword Green took out was a broken sword, completely damaged, as though it would break in the next moment.
The reason for taking it out was simple, as shortly after the appearance of the beast, Green felt the sword's first independent reaction.
Green could sense its emotions. It seemed excited and eager to come out of the personal space.
And the trigger for this state was precisely this sudden appearance of the beast.
Since there was no progress in studying it, Green thought it would be better to take it out and see what this broken sword could do.
As it turned out, Green's speculation was correct. As soon as Green took out the sword, the broken sword began to buzz all over. The intense vibrations were so strong that if Green didn't have enough strength, it would be impossible to even hold the sword.
But this situation made Green more interested and more excited about the sword.
What could have happened to make this sword, which had always been unresponsive, react so strongly?
Balibeil seemed to understand what Green was thinking and timely expressed her opinion.
"Master, the energy inside this sword is rapidly gathering, and I can feel a hint of presence that only a sword spirit can possess."
"Is that so...?"
After hearing Balibeil's words, Green became even more interested.
At this moment, the vibrations from the broken sword became stronger and stronger. Green also casually let go and allowed it to move. Just as Green let go, the broken sword suddenly stopped vibrating and shot up into the sky, causing a tremendous gust of wind.
Everyone, including the beast, was shocked by this scene.
The battle stopped at this moment.
The broken sword soared higher and higher, eventually stopping at an extremely high position. Soldiers from various countries used auxiliary magic to look up at the sky, and when they saw that it was a sword causing this anomaly, everyone was stunned.
Similarly, Green could clearly see that as the broken sword flew higher, the damages on its body were slowly repairing, and the rust was falling off. Especially when it reached its highest point, the entire sword emitted a golden light.
Then, in the next moment, everyone saw countless golden lights surrounding the beast, and finally, with a scream from the beast, its body exploded like a bomb, causing a powerful storm.
"What... what just happened??"
"Unbelievable..."
Unfortunately, before the soldiers' astonishment could dissipate, they realized that the shattered pieces of the beast's flesh were slowly moving... No! It was as if time was flowing backward, and the fragments were reassembling along the path of the explosion.
"Crack!"With a sharp cry, the massive beast returned to its prime.
This time, even Green began to take notice. After all, they had just battled the Black Dragon King, and if this creature also had such powerful regenerative abilities, Green would have to act.
Otherwise, the army would face annihilation.
Tia couldn't sit still either. While her abilities weren't enough to burden the group, they also weren't powerful enough to match. Therefore, she focused her gaze on Green, whom she believed to be the strongest in their team.
Green noticed Tia's anxious expression and gave her a reassuring look. Then, he jumped off the carriage and casually extended his arm, and the once broken sword returned obediently to his hand.
"It seems you really do have self-awareness, little guy."
Green smiled and wrapped source energy around the blade, increasing its output. It now appeared to be a sword made entirely of converged energy.
When the forty-meter-long energy sword appeared, silence fell over the entire field.
The visual impact alone was shocking, but the vast and endless energy was even more astounding.
At this moment, the soldiers finally understood why Green had been observing the battle without taking action. Once Green made a move, there was nothing for them to do.
Although they didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.
If Green had fought from the beginning, they would have been almost unnecessary. Fortunately, both for Green and for these proud warriors, they had their own intentions.
Green swung the forty-meter-long energy sword, his eyes fixed firmly on the giant beast. In this moment, it was as if Green saw the shadow of the Black Dragon King within the giant beast.
And in the next moment, countless sword shadows flashed, and the movements of the giant beast came to a halt.
"Boom!"
The body of the giant beast suddenly exploded into countless pieces. However, this time, unlike last time, the meaty chunks showed no signs of recovery even after waiting for a full minute.
But just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, the shattered body of the huge beast suddenly showed signs of movement.
Everyone immediately became alert again, only to find that the body of the beast had shriveled bit by bit after struggling twice, until it ultimately turned into a wisp of ashes that scattered in the wind.
