“I’m fine,” Qingshamu said. Hearing her daughter’s words, she immediately calmed down.
‘Even without the Demon Sword, I can’t beat the Northern Demon King alone. I’ve known this since the beginning. We Heroes are supposed to fight as a group; I can’t let individual heroism mess things up.’
“…”
Now it was Jukkido Simon’s turn to get anxious.
Seeing the relationship between Qingshamu and her daughter growing harmonious, her expression darkened, and the fires of jealousy burned.
She looked at her own daughter, who no longer looked human.
Clad in Dragon Scale Armor, she had turned into a humanoid dragon that did nothing but hiss.
“Let’s go together,” Qingshamu said in a low voice.
White Feather Dove and Heiqi Long both nodded, taking their places on either side of Qingshamu.
This made Jukkido Simon feel even worse.
She finally understood why this woman was her nemesis—it was because she possessed everything she wanted and had taken everything from her.
Her daughter, her wife, and her career… everything had been snatched away by Qingshamu.
The more Jukkido Simon thought about it, the angrier she became.
Dragonflame erupted from her body with a crackling sound, and the flames on her blade deepened into a terrifying crimson.
“Baicheng, the Magical Barrier won’t stop her Dragonflame enchantment. You must coordinate your dodges with your shields,” Qingshamu analyzed for Baicheng and Little Black.
“The sword in her hand isn’t ordinary either. My Dragon Blade was actually pushed back when I struck it,” Heiqi Long explained to her sister and Qingshamu.
“I know.” Qingshamu also sensed something was off with Jukkido Simon’s sword, but she had never seen or heard of the Northern Demon King possessing such a secret weapon.
Moreover, the sword looked perfectly ordinary—a plain knight’s sword with no distinguishing features, making its origins impossible to determine.
“Are you done talking?” Jukkido Simon asked coldly.
Without waiting for a response, she lunged forward, closing the gap in a single step and unleashing a Dragon Flame Whirlwind Slash right in their faces.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The three of them blocked the strike, but they were all knocked back.
White Feather Dove, in particular, was the first to feel a massive drain on her Dark Moon Shield.
The shield was sliced open instantly. Fortunately, her physical stats and reflexes were excellent, allowing her to dodge at the last second.
She realized then that she stood no chance against Jukkido Simon in close-quarters combat.
White Feather Dove immediately retreated to a safe distance and began summoning a massive number of Darkmoon Flying Swords.
With precise magic control, she formed a terrifying sword formation to harass Jukkido Simon.
Of course, these magical flying swords were useless against Jukkido Simon—nothing more than an itch—but they were incredibly annoying to someone as enraged as she was.
“You bastard! All of you are lying to me!” Jukkido Simon ignored all incoming attacks and charged toward White Feather Dove.
At the critical moment, Heiqi Long attacked from the flank, hitting Jukkido Simon with a Flying Shoulder Charge.
In this place, she was likely the only one whose physical strength could compete with the Red Dragon.
Simultaneously, Qingshamu launched a sneak attack from the other side, unleashing a Moonlight Blade Infinite Combo against Jukkido Simon’s flank.
Jukkido Simon pivoted to counterattack, but Qingshamu fought while retreating, slipping away like an eel.
Just as the Demon King moved to pursue Qingshamu, White Feather Dove would dart out from another direction, launching magical flying swords at her from point-blank range.
The power was actually quite impressive; any ordinary creature would have been turned into a pincushion.
However, Jukkido Simon’s defense was simply too high.
Moreover, one couldn’t forget that Jukkido Simon was also a Magician of sorts.
As the President of the Double Tea Party, the Dragonflame burning on her body acted as a Magical Barrier in its own right.
Qingshamu and White Feather Dove weren’t the only ones practicing Magic Warrior Dual Cultivation—the Northern Demon King was the true master of the craft.
Jukkido Simon was the woman who had truly mastered the essence of the Magical Barrier.
As long as her defense and HP were high enough, all enemies before her were like ants.
“Ha!” With a roar, Jukkido Simon swung her sword in a heavy strike, unleashing a Fin-shaped Dragon Flame Sword Qi.
This was her first time using a long-range technique.
Its power was staggering, melting the broken swords and Tenacity of Steel Sunflowers scattered across the ground.
The attack was aimed directly at White Feather Dove, who was buzzing around like a fly.
Though she was the weakest of the three, she was vital to the others, and they would certainly move to defend her.
Jukkido Simon seemed reckless, but she was actually quite calculating.
Sure enough, Heiqi Long and Qingshamu were immediately drawn in, stopping their movements to assist with the defense.
But they had fallen right into Jukkido Simon’s trap.
They never imagined the Dragon Flame Sword Qi was merely a feint—her true killing move was yet to come.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two dragon wings sprouted from her back, and her speed surged, manifesting a level of explosive power impossible for a normal human form to achieve.
Just as Heiqi Long and Qingshamu joined forces to block the sword qi, Jukkido Simon burst through the trailing flames.
Reeking of murderous intent, she brought her crimson sword down hard on Qingshamu.
“!”
Qingshamu couldn’t dodge. She could only channel all her magic to construct a Moonlight Shield for defense.
With a crash, her Moonlight Shield shattered.
Qingshamu desperately raised her Light Sword to block, but it was no match for Jukkido Simon’s full-strength blow.
Her Light Sword shattered into pieces. Her sidearm was actually a custom Paladin Sword from the Church, a high-quality weapon specifically designed for enchantments, yet it had been easily destroyed.
Qingshamu was sent flying by the shockwave, crashing heavily into the ground.
The arm she used to hold her sword was broken.
Although she struggled to get back up, she had lost most of her combat capability.
“The sword in your hand… it’s the Hero’s Sword…” Qingshamu had discovered a truth, and she grit her teeth as she questioned her opponent in shock.
The blade in Jukkido Simon’s hand was likely the Hero’s Sword, which had been lost to the Adventurer’s Association for ages.
Known as the Progenitor of All Blades and the Original Form of all knight swords, it possessed no special abilities.
However, it was indestructible; nothing in this world could damage the Hero’s Sword in the slightest.
White Feather Dove and Heiqi Long quickly fell back to stand in front of Qingshamu, their expressions grim.
Jukkido Simon’s combat power far exceeded their expectations—or perhaps the weapon in her hand was simply too powerful.
She was already a stat monster, and yet she could pull out top-tier divine weapons.
‘The Demon King is wielding the Hero’s Sword. Who could possibly beat you?’
“Is this all you’ve got? Hero, you dare challenge me with this?” Jukkido Simon held her sword horizontally and mocked them coldly.
“…”
Qingshamu was speechless.
