The Princess And The Lord-Chapter 1104 The Princess And The Lord

While Lory and Girsha stopped Lazarus, elsewhere Zhao Li Xin walked towards the crimson Lightning sword, even though he was more confident in himself but still there was a doubt in his heart how could he not because everything depended on him not only Lory's safety but also the world and people who turn out to care about more than he thought.

Zhao Li Xin stopped in her tracks right in front of the crimson lightning sword that lay like a mere sword but the red glow on its surface reminded her of the true power of this sword.

Zhao Li Xin hesitated even though he promised Lory he would finish this quickly but he cannot shake the slight fear that clutches his heart.

"Don't be afraid..."

Zhao Li Xin started then took a step back while raising his immortal flames but what came before him was safe with long dark hair wearing a golden robe.

The man looks regal and handsome he doesn't look threatening on the contrary his eyes are brimmed with warning as he stares at him with a wan smile.

"You...who are you....?" Zhao Li Xin didn't let his guard down, his dark eyes stare warily at the strange man.

The man's smile grew wider as he got closer to Zhao Li Xin then crouched in front of the sword as his eyes traced along the red sword and his expression turned melancholy.

"My friend took his own bones to make the most powerful weapon in the world just for me, it was a rash decision cause I know how much it hurt him but he was a stubborn creature, well... dragons tend to be so," his palm propped his cheek as the man speaks in a low voice as if he talks to himself.

But Zhao Li Xin immediately recognizes the identity of the man "You...emperor Lei Yu?" there's a shock in Zhao Li Xin's calm voice.

Emperor Lei Yu glanced from under his thick eyelashes "With this sword I managed to unite all the continent and protect humankind from beasts and fiends cultivators that terrorize my people, this sword was meant to protect...but I lost my way and so did my brother" the bitterness come apparent on his face.

"We think we give everything for the one we love but actually we never listen to what our loved ones say to us, we never care to know what they truly want still we do everything we want without thinking about how our lover feels. Our love is selfish, arrogant, and shallow but you are different from us therefore it is you who will save us…" the pair of eyes that stared at Zhao Li Xin was blazing with hope and joy. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

However, Zhao Li Xin wasn't convinced, "I thought I was selfish, arrogant, and ruthless like you two…" Zhao Li Xin had never thought of herself as a good person let alone a savior, after all, he wasn't Lory.

"No, you are different…" Emperor Lei Yu took the hilt of the sword and then lifted the sword from the ground, "It is so easy to vent your sorrow, pain, and anger upon the world, I did it… but you chose to honor your beloved's wish, you chose to do the right thing, and that is what differentiates you and us. You may not believe it but there is kindness in your heart Zhao Li Xin, it is there and the princess saw it right from the beginning and so does Huo Long so it's about time for you to see what lies within you" Emperor Lei Yu handing over the Crimson Lightning sword, he firmly said.

"Take it!"

Zhao Li Xin stared at the sword that was shining with a reddish light, Zhao Li Xin involuntarily gulped then she slowly raised her hand while her eyes were fixed on the red lightning sword.

His hand hovered over the blade for a moment before he finally gripped the hilt and golden flames exploded like a gigantic torch that engulfed Zhao Li Xin and the sword.

Emperor Lei Yu took a few steps back while his eyes remained calm and steady as his gaze fixed on Zhao Li Xin.

"Don't fight it, accept it! accept the pain, the anger, the love....the loss"

Meanwhile, Lazarus attacked Lory with various attacks which began to overwhelm him little by little but Lory with his full strength accompanied by Girsha and Trinity staff in her possession is not an easy opponent however, the problem is that Lazarus, who has already succumbed to his madness, attacks without a clear direction. He doesn't care about anything else except to release his anger so that his movements are too wild to be predicted even by an experienced fighter like Lory.

Then suddenly a sharp metal Lazarus scraped his arm causing Lory to fall to the ground at that moment sharper metal-like thorns rained down on her luckily Lory managed to swing her staff immediately a gust of wind came and the metal shattered in an instant but the metal fragments turned back into black smoke and gathered together into a giant drill.

"Uh-Oh!" Lory swiftly role to the side while the drill hit the ground that creating a massive hole.

"You kill my Thea.." Lazarus's eyes shone with fury.

Lory rolled her eyes feeling angry and frustrated, while healing her arm she sneered at Lazarus "Stop lying to yourself snake, you know it's not me..." the side of Lory's lips turned into a cynical smile "All the pain that tortured her, all the guilt that she must carry, all the losses she had to go through, who do you think caused it, huh? it's all because of you! and feigning ignorance won't change the fact that you're the one who caused all those tragedies in her life!"

"SILENCE!" Lazarus rams towards Lory like a cannon ball.

Lazarus' movement was quick and sharp, he didn't give Lory a chance to dodge other than creating a Lucient shield around her but still, Lory was pushed back a few meters back leaving a clear mark on the ground.

Lory winced as he kept the shield from being crushed by Lazarus' massive jaw which was inches from crushing her unfortunately the shield around her was starting to show cracks.

'You are not powerful enough to win this fight princessss...' Lazarus's eerie voice suddenly appeared in her head making all the hairs on her neck stand up sending a chill to her spine still Lory refused to give in.

suddenly Lory's pupils widened she grinned from ear to ear "Maybe so, but unlike you, I'm not alone...."

"!!!"

Suddenly from above a hot wind rushed at him like hot iron and Lazarus was forced to release his bite from Lory and pull himself away from the hot flames that almost decapitated him.

It was then, a blaze of golden flame whirled like a tornado then gradually soared into the sky, moving higher and higher like a fiery pillar that would burn the sky but then come rumbling sounds in the sky then follow by a bold streak of light that illuminated the sky with bright red light, one by one the crimson lightning flashing across the sky clashing together with a dazzling red light came an ear-deafening sound of thunder.

Lory looked into the sky then chuckled then mumble "Oh, so that's why it's called Crimson Lightning, it makes sense now" Lori nodded in understanding.

In the midst of flashes of red lightning, Zhao Li Xin was floating in the air while golden flames enshrouded his whole body, Zhao Li Xin looked intently at Lory for a second soon a warm smile spread across his handsome face.

Soon after making sure Lory was okay Zhao Li Xin shift his eyes towards Lazarus then he snorted in annoyance "Can you stop bothering my wife Demon!"

Darkness filled Lazarus's eyes and filled them with exasperation and shock he never thought that Zhao Li Xin will manage to awaken the crimson Lightning sword with full power.

"You think you can win against me, human!"

Zhao Li Xin shrugs nonchalantly saying: "Well, we don't know if we don't try, right?!"

Like a gust of wind, she struck Lazarus and the black poison acted as a shield protecting Lazarus from the massive attack but Zhao Li Xin was undeterred he raised his sword in the air as he summoned more lightning at Lazarus.

Lightning alternately attacks Lazarus mercilessly causing his giant body to convulse in the air. Though Lazarus felt extreme pain instead of giving up, his anger grew even more then he let out a long roar that flung Zhao Li Xin up in the air and his movement cage by multiple giant sharp metals that struck him from every direction.

However, at that moment a cold wind come and the metals froze at rapid speed and then crush by a sharp wind a second later Lory appear behind Zhao Li Xin with her giant-wide wings.

"Li Xin, are you alright?" Lory approaches him anxiously.

Zhao Li Xin's faces instantly brighten up at her appearance, "Yes, thank you for the help, dear." he said.

"Likewise~" Lory reply sweetly.
