Chapter 1033: Chapter 505: Fake Professor (2)

"Once we have a foothold, can we consider a frontal breakthrough?" Elaphia said.

"Not surprising, as the Knight Commander and Lady Legislator," A Xiang laughed, "never considering retreat as an option."

"Of course, I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t think we had a chance to win." Elaphia raised her chin.

"I’m a bit unclear about something," Li Ang said.

"Please go ahead," A Xiang nodded.

"You mentioned that place is a Dragon Nest, and judging by the terrain, you haven’t explored inside. How did you plan to lure away the dragon guarding the ’Destiny Cold Wave’? Is the sword outside?"

"That’s right, it’s my problem for not explaining upfront," A Xiang replied.

"Isn’t it strange? Why would the sword be outside the Dragon Nest?"

"According to the related legend of ’Destiny Cold Wave’, it was stolen by a peculiar thief. We speculate it might have been left here when the thief came to explore the Dragon Nest, or perhaps he met his end here."

A Xiang’s explanation made sense, but Li Ang still felt something was off.

"You mentioned the dragons ’guarding’ the sword, is it just coincidental that they’re hovering around, or is it intentional?" he asked.

"Well," A Xiang scratched his face with his index finger, "whatever the case, as long as we can get the sword, I can’t be bothered to think too much."

Indeed, when Adventurers are treasure hunting or looting, the relationship between monsters and treasures is not a primary consideration. Generally, if something obstructs the treasure, it’s just about killing it.

The Cloudwalkers Guild gathered here likely share A Xiang’s temperament; instead of deeper thinking, comparing strengths and strategizing is the main focus.

"Let’s talk about how to attack first." Elaphia stepped forward on her Flying Sword, discussing the specific tactics with the Cloudwalkers.

She confidently declared that her people could guarantee victory in this operation, surprising A Xiang and the others again.

But the Order Knight Commander’s credibility was so high that the sword retrieval operation moved from seeking opportunities to direct frontal assault.

The main attack would be conducted by her and Li Ang.

As expected, the distribution of Destiny Cold Wave also needed clarification. Elaphia came with an attitude of inevitability, as if the sword was already hers, beyond dispute.

"Of course, Miss Alma came for the Divine Artisan’s Five Swords. You’ve had your eye on the sword at my waist, haven’t you?" A Xiang said with a sly smile.

"Naturally." Elaphia nodded.

"Earlier, I did mention that if I’d exchange for a suitable Treasure Artifact, I wouldn’t object. However, now, with Destiny Cold Wave before me, holding two of the Five Swords gives me an advantage in collecting the set. The situation seems a bit different now."

A Xiang maintained his nonchalant smile, but being laid-back doesn’t mean he isn’t practical. His words followed Adventurers’ conventional thinking.

Those listening showed expressions of agreement with his viewpoint.

"I expected you to say that."

Elaphia tore open a Dimensional Rift, from which a flash of white electric light appeared, stopping swiftly before the crowd.

Amidst the astonishment and vigilance, the electric light dispersed, and Shocking Divine Soul Light - sword and scabbard - suspended in mid-air.

The sword’s skill is to strengthen its attack speed, and Formal Liberation can make it invisible. Under Elaphia’s control, its speed far surpasses ordinary human reaction speed, even troubling Excellence Realm masters.

The sword’s appearance alone demonstrated her formidable methods and unwavering resolve.

"This is ’Shocking Divine Soul Light’."

Except for A Xiang, knowing through the Knight Resolution Council that she and Li Ang obtained the Holy Thunderlight Stab Sword, the others were unaware of this information, and few knew about this sword.

Being present, they surely heard of the Divine Artisan’s Five Swords, and Shocking Divine Soul Light was as mysterious as Destiny Cold Wave. Without Li Ang’s connection with Thunderstorm Star Soul, the sword was almost unattainable.

And without acquiring it, he wouldn’t have conceived the idea of uniting the Five Swords.

Silver-blue sword scabbard, religious decorations, this artifact-like yet power-packed Treasure Sword drew everyone’s gaze.

"Tsk tsk, what a fine sword. Makes my ’Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn’ seem a bit understated," A Xiang patted his waist.

As he stated, this Short Sword might be the least conspicuous among them.

Crafted by Ernest after being betrayed by a woman, as a master’s artistic pursuit, it represents his then unavoidable, venomous pain and hatred. Hence, the entire sword is understated; only when unsheathed does it reveal its soul-consuming, bone-chilling nature.

"Precisely because you have a sword, we’re on equal footing," A Xiang said again.

"Here is ’Passionate Talent’." Elaphia turned to Farlonio. Despite Crafty Merchant Douding’s reluctant expression, she extracted the Fire Sword from her Dimension Backpack.

Under the Blade Master’s control, Passionate Talent levitated alongside Shocking Divine Soul Light.

From its feather-decorated hilt to its soaring Hand Guard, and its blade’s burning flames, it reflects Ernest’s youthful arrogance and reckless indulgence.

"Sigh, playing dumb is futile," A Xiang sighed with a laugh, "Though I didn’t expect Miss Farlo to offer up the family sword, I tried to pretend otherwise."
