3077 A Perfect Woman
"Simmons, keep an eye on the White Tiger. I'll handle her!" The situation was dire. Holy Shadow Conner dared not act hesitantly.
"Conner, don't act recklessly. You have to wait—" Before Simmons finished speaking, Conner had already charged into the battle.
Originally, they had to wait for the ancient secret spell to activate. Four Holy Shadows had to perform the secret spell at the same time so that their level of magic would double. It was an extremely powerful Holy Shadow secret spell. Thus, Simmons thought they should wait for it a while longer.
However, Conner was cocky and arrogant. He overlooked Mu Ningxue's strength.
Holy Shadow Clark was as frail as a child in front of Mu Ningxue. Conner's strength was weaker than Clark's. He was only a newly promoted novice.
Perhaps, Conner was too eager to show off his strength. Hence, he did not even wait for the descendant of the Holy Shadow secret spell. He was a Shadow Element Mage. He approached Mu Ningxue in a spirit form. He wanted to take the opportunity to take down Mu Ningxue while the White Tiger attacked the rest.
Conner was so close to Mu Ningxue. He thought that the distance between them was so close that even an expert could not defend themselves on time. As long as Mu Ningxue did not perform the powerful Holy Shield spell in advance, Conner's Shadow Stake spell could quickly subdue her!
Shadow Stake spell was a powerful secret spell used by Holy City to take on the ancient vampires. Conner got close to Mu Ningxue to launch a surprise attack. Suddenly, some Shadow Element objects fell around Mu Ningxue.
The Shadow Element objects immediately formed a black pattern under Mu Ningxue's feet, they intertwined with one another like black chains. The next moment, an evil creature's wrists, feet, abdomen, chest, neck, and forehead rose from the underground of the Shadow Stakes and pierced the spiked Shadow Stakes!
Suddenly, Mu Ningxue became motionless.
"Wind Swastika!"
Her clothes and long hair fluttered in the wind.
The air flow grew stronger. When it reached its maximum level, Mu Ningxue compressed them into a bladed swirling wind scar with her mind before shooting them in four different directions.
The earth and air of Holy City were cut through in a terrifying manner. The people in the Reflective Holy City saw the frightening sight.
With Mu Ningxue's location as the center point, the deep and lengthy wind mark surged up four powerful airflow barriers. They formed the symbol of a swastika to protect Mu Ningxue.
The wind barrier towered over them like a mountain peak. The powerful force shredded the black Shadow Stake formation apart. The ancient and secret Shadow Element spell was completely neutralized. Mu Ningxue stood in the middle of the white wind in a graceful posture, looking unharmed.
Holy Shadow Conner became dumbfounded. He never thought his magic would be so weak.
Suddenly, Conner noticed Mu Ningxue had turned to him. For a long time, she had been focusing on Chief Holy Shadow Fahl.
Little did Holy Shadow Conner know that the moment Mu Ningxue paid attention to him, it would be his moment to die!
The wind had not only protected Mu Ningxue, but it also contained powerful killing power.
Mu Ningxue waved her hand. The powerful Wind Swastika left its original area and spread to the far end at an exaggerated speed and power. It moved from a small area the size of a mountain to half of Holy City.
It cut everything along its way.
Holy Shadow Conner was halved. Even the city area behind him was cut open. Wind was supposed to be soft and light. However, Mu Ningxue's wind was sharp, aggressive, and filled with killing intent.
Conner fell and bled like the Holy Shadow Apostles. He was so weak that he was no different from the Holy Shadow Apostles.
But Conner was a Holy Shadow. The Holy Shadows were aware of their difference from the Holy Shadow Apostles. Perhaps, both the Holy Shadow and Holy Shadow Apostle's power were too far behind Mu Ningxue. As such, it made him look no different from a Holy Shadow Apostle.
Holy Shadow Conner did not expect himself to end up that way. Even though he was aware that he may not be a match for Mu Ningxue, he did not expect to be killed within seconds. Even the other Holy Shadows could not save him.
Before Conner died, he cast a glance at Simmons.
Conner finally understood why Simmons had been looking so hesitant, and his eyes were filled with fear. That woman was truly terrifying!
"Conner…" Simmons looked at his peer who had been halved. He could not help but recall Holy Shadow Clark who died in the same way.
At that moment, Simmons finally realized that the arrogant Holy Shadows were nothing but a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered before Mu Ningxue. They could not possibly prevail against her.
"Do you want to stay alive?" Mu Ningxue noticed Simmons and asked calmly.
Simmons sucked in a deep breath. He saw the moving Wind Swastika under her feet. He was confident that he could fight back against her power, but he did not have the confidence to survive Mu Ningxue's following attack.
"I have no choice. If I back out, I will not only lose my life but also my dignity." Simmons summoned his courage to confront Mu Ningxue. He used his natural God's gift once again.
The poisonous Jimsonweed rose from the cracks of the earth. Tiny vines grew from the roots. The vines then quickly grew into roots before turning into thicker main vines…
In just a few seconds, Mu Ningxue was surrounded by countless poisonous Jimsonweeds, as if she had been trapped in a forest of Jimsonweeds. The narcotic Jimsonweeds bloomed beautifully with layers upon layers of petals. Each of them looked like large banana leaves, and the secreted pollen started to produce a psychedelic effect on the human senses.
A forest of Jimsonweeds grew magnificently before turning into a massive jungle realm. Mu Ningxue was trapped inside, and the jungle realm exhausted her power.
Outside the city, the snow continued to pour in infinitely. The bone-chilling coldness made all living creatures lose their vitality. The poisonous Jimsonweeds that just started to demonstrate its vigorous natural power was gone within an instant.
It withered in the cold, then faded. It came to the end of its life in just a few seconds and left behind frozen flower vines.
"She's an Ice Element Forbidden Mage." Holy Shadow Simmons stared at Mu Ningxue dejectedly.
She was not only a Wind Element Forbidden Mage, but she was also an Ice Element Forbidden Mage!
It was only then that Simmons realized the power Mu Ningxue had performed before him was just the tip of the iceberg!
Perhaps, Chief Holy Shadow Fahl was the only one who was a match for her. The rest of them collapsed at a single blow.
Ka! Ka! Ka!
Not only did the poisonous Jimsonweeds become frozen, the moment Simmons and Mu Ningxue exchanged glances, but his body also became frozen. His blood froze. His vitality was rapidly frozen.
Simmons could fight back against Mu Ningxue. But he knew that if he fought back, it would be an unnecessary struggle. It was pointless to live only for a while longer.
"I didn't break my promise. I didn't tell Holy City that you're the one who killed Clark…" Simmons' face began to turn pale. His skin was covered in frost. Needless to say, his organs were deteriorating.
Mu Ningxue nodded.
"But you don't care. You're prepared to make an enemy with Holy City. Is it really because of him? Is he worthy of you to do all this for him…?" Simmons raised his hand with difficulty and pointed at the man who had been trapped in mid-air.
Mu Ningxue did not answer Simmons.
Simmons fixed his gaze on Mu Ningxue. He watched as her graceful figure passed by him. Simmons wanted to turn his head to continue watching her, only to find that he could not move any part of his body.
Simmons was eager to find out the answer.
Was it worth it?
She was so beautiful and captivating. She was also as powerful as the angels. Why did she have to sacrifice everything for a dying, demonic heretic?
"If it were me, he would have done the same."
Suddenly, before Simmons died, he heard her silvery voice.
Simmons used to hope she would show him mercy just like last time. He hoped he was a little special to her. However, she did not.
As long as he made an enemy of her, he was no different from the Holy Shadow.
Last time, she was kind enough to spare him.
This time, she was kind enough to answer his question so that he could die in peace.
What a perfect woman!
She was as beautiful as a queen in ancient myths. She was cool, elegant, and unpolluted by the world.
She did not just have a pretty face. She had achieved a powerful realm of magic. She could be in charge of mankind like the angels.
She did not fall for anything in the world, but she could turn everything upside down for the sake of the things that she loved.
She fulfilled Simmons' fantasies of a perfect woman.
Unfortunately, when he met her, he was in such a lowly state and even hindered her noble path.
In fact, he was not worthy of her.
He once thought he could sacrifice everything for the sake of love. After he was caught in Holy City's governance and the norm of society, he understood they would always only care for themselves in a community with governance that would only harm the people. They would forgo their loved ones for the sake of healing, growing stronger, gaining respect, and so much more… They would either be caught inside or at a loss. They would always complain there was no longer an ideal person in the world.
It was not until one day they encountered the ideal person that they would finally regret what they had done. They would finally realize that some people were different from them and were very powerful. Those people always stayed true to their first love. They always had a pure heart. Their thoughts were unpolluted by the world.
'If it were me, he would have done the same.'
When Simmons was on the verge of dying and losing his last breath, a question echoed in his mind.
If he were in her shoes, would he have the same courage to attack Holy City?
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Before Simmons died, that was the last sound he heard. It was the sound of Mu Ningxue continuing to march forward to her destination.
