Chapter 102: We Can Still Win Without That Sword (Subscribe)
[Countless swordsmen came to her and gathered under her command. Even the once disabled sword master joined her and gave her advice and trained her talents.]

[In the past ten years, the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse have joined forces many times to encircle and suppress Dongfang Mingyue. With her wit and the full help of the disabled swordsman, they have always escaped danger and the resistance army has suffered heavy losses many times.]

[The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse pushed them into a desperate situation step by step, and Dongfang Mingyue’s resistance army retreated to the last city – Tianshu City. ]

[In the city, the life of the disabled sword master came to an end: “Leader, after that tragic defeat, without the Seven Star Divine Sword, our bloodline can no longer awaken.”]

[“Sword Master, is there any other way?” Dongfang Mingyue knew that a swordsman without the Sword Master level could not deal with the Apocalypse Knight. ]

[“Unless we forge another magic sword… our clan has been searching for hundreds of years… it’s difficult…” The sword master closed his eyes and spoke weakly, “From now on, you will be the only one left. You must be more careful when facing the Apocalypse Knight…”]

[Everyone present was silent, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.]

[Facing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, these high-level swordsmen and sword masters are nothing more than ants. No one can stand behind Dongfang Mingyue. They can still continue to escape, but they can’t see the hope of winning. ]

[The atmosphere of despair hangs over everyone’s heart like a haze.]

[At this moment, a woman in a white dress came over. She stared at the magic sword that had been promoted to the rank of a mysterious weapon and smiled:
“Eastern leader, I know a secret sword-making method from ancient times, which may help us reforge the sword.”

[I stared at the woman in the white dress who spoke shockingly in the magic sword.]

[“Zhuang Xinyao!” I uttered this name with gritted teeth, the murderous intent in my heart surging like a tidal wave.]

[It was she, the Zhuang Xinyao who had pushed me into the furnace, causing me to fall into endless despair and barely survive in this magic sword.]

[Decades have passed, but Zhuang Xinyao’s appearance seems to have been forgotten by time, and has not changed at all! ]

[Dongfang Mingyue and the others heard this, as if they had grasped the last straw and asked anxiously: “What’s the solution?”]

【Zhuang Xinyao explained: “According to ancient books, the Seven Star Sword does not only have seven stars. In the deepest part of the real world, there is also a ‘Hidden Star’ with infinite power. We need someone who can practice the ‘Breathing Method’ to the limit, merge with the sword, become the carrier of the ‘Hidden Star’, and then the sword can shine on the world.”

“This way, everyone in Dongzhou can awaken their divine powers like in ancient times.”

“And this person had better possess the bloodline of the Seven Ancient Swords, so that he can be recognized by the ‘Hidden Star’ in the Realm.”】

[There is a legend in Dongzhou that the giant beast that ravaged the earth in ancient times was part of the ‘Hidden Star’. ]

[Everyone present was silent.]

[There is only one person here who has practiced the ‘Water Breathing Method’ to the highest level, and that is Dongfang Mingyue. She is the descendant of the extremely noble Yaoguang Sword Master, and the power that resonates with the ‘Hidden Star’ flows in her blood.]

[Dongfang Mingyue looked at everyone. Even if she relied on the “Suffocating Wind” of “Wushuang Mingyue”, she could only barely protect herself from the attack of one Apocalypse Knight. With two Apocalypse Knights, she could only retreat.]

【I want to end all this. 】

[This is the only way. Dongfang Mingyue stood up and said, “Then I will fetch the Hidden Star…”]

[I made a buzzing sound at Dongfang Mingyue’s waist, and my inner voice reached her ears, “Mingyue, don’t believe her. I met her once decades ago. She’s not right… She wants to use this to get the ‘Hidden Star Sword’.”]

[Dongfang Mingyue remained calm, Wushuang was devastated by the influence of the magic sword. He usually maintained an “absolutely calm” state and never showed his emotional fluctuations easily.]

[Wushuang, are you worried about her? ]

[Dongfang Mingyue blocked my voice and looked at Zhuang Xinyao with a serious look.]

[Zhuang Xinyao opened her arms, and a pair of white wings suddenly stretched out from behind her. She made a promise: “When I become a god, there will be no more suffering in the world.”]

【“Angel?!!” Everyone exclaimed, and took a few steps back involuntarily, their eyes filled with horror and confusion.】

[Zhuang Xinyao revealed her true identity and said gently: “I am not an angel from the empire. Your civilization has attracted the covetousness of the angels because of the ‘dark titanium element’, and I am here to save you.”]

[Everyone looked at each other, they had no way out.]

[Seven days later, the Apocalypse Knights arrived at the city.] [Dongfang Mingyue held the magic sword and stared at the stove in a daze. She knew that the “Hidden Star” was there when she killed the “Sky-breaking Dragon Whale”, but she was always hesitant… But this was her mission as the Princess of Mingzhu.]

[“Mingyue, we can still win without that sword!” I persuaded. ]

[“As long as we kill all the giant beasts in the real world, the magic sword will undergo a new transformation and be promoted to a divine sword!”]

【Jeong-yeon 言。】

[The limit of the magic sword has been fixed at the level of “low-grade mysterious weapon”, and it cannot accommodate the power of other giant beasts. ]

[Over the years, I have let the magic sword devour countless demon souls, but it still has not made any qualitative leap. The secret of the magic sword’s evolution is the soul of the “sword holder.”]

[Dongfang Mingyue was silent for a while, then smiled and said, “Sir, you can’t lie.”]

[She paused, picked up the magic sword and put it against her chest. I could feel her heartbeat. Dongfang Mingyue whispered softly: “Thank you for staying with Mingyue for so long.”]

[“If Mingyue wasn’t Princess Mingzhu, wasn’t the Sword of Freedom, and didn’t have to shoulder the future of so many people in Dongzhou. If possible… I hope to stay by your side forever in the next life.”]

【”sorry.”】

[Then, Dongfang Mingyue no longer hesitated and jumped into the blazing flames, allowing the raging flames to completely devour her and transform her into a dazzling light.]

[I am the only one who cares about her survival, while they just want to win. ]

[My emotions suddenly surged like a violent storm, and then I was forced into a state of neither life nor death. My eyes were indifferent, but my dead heart was like the sea in a storm, unable to calm down.]

[I am just a sword. I can’t do anything. ]

[This time, it’s my turn to taste the bitterness of “powerlessness”. ]

……

[Soon after, a dazzling light bloomed in the sky, like a gift from the gods, illuminating every inch of Dongzhou.]

[Under this sacred light, the blood of all people in Dongzhou seemed to be awakened, and they easily mastered the power to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. ]

【Zhuang Xinyao didn’t lie.】

[I don’t know what the world created by Dongfang Mingyue looks like, and I don’t want to know. For a sword, what is the meaning of all the troubles in this world? ]

[For the next ten years, the sound of fighting continued to ring in my ears.]

[It’s so noisy! ]

[It’s so noisy!!]

[I was tired of all this in the Demon Sword, and suddenly realized the true meaning of “pain” that Afeng had realized…]

【Since the world is so painful. 】

[How about——]

【End it! 】

【End all suffering! 】
