[Chapter 142: The purifying of the water kingdom (4)]
"Using a different blade won’t change the outcome... you’re far weaker than I am." Tigbone chuckled, "However, I don’t mind playing with you a little longer."
Lunging forward, the [Dragon scales armor] still hastening her pace on top of the lightning cloak.
"Excalivoid." Slashing at not Tigbone but instead one of his [Sickle sword], a chain made of darkness conjured out of nowhere.
With his weapon chained, Tigbone swung at the dark chain, a large gust of wind blew in all directions.
But it proved futile.
"This is new, I didn’t expect for there to be something that my blade can not cut." Tigbone then focused on the [Dark hero’s sword], "I see, so you’ve taken general Rechine’s blade... so not only are you a pathetic swordsman, but you’re nothing but a thief."
Letting go of his [Sickle sword], demon Tigbone tossed one of his swords to another hand, before quickly thrusting all three blades forward.
"You call my swordsmanship pathetic, but you use four blades." Incus met the attack head on, the ground forming a small crater.
Torquing her body backwards, Incus then swung downwards with all her might.
"Impact... line!" Her mana then compressed before exploding, shattering one of Tigbone’s blocking blades.
"What an interesting technique that you have." Torquing his body back, Tigbone did the exact same motion as Incus.
"Impact line!" A severing downwards slash slammed against Incus.
Standing her ground, Incus refused to be sent flying back to another building.
The small crater that was forming around them grew bigger and bigger, and they continued to exchange blows.
"Yes, this is it! This is what I’ve been hoping for, show me your technique!" A wide eerie grin formed on Tigbone’s face, "Show me the true extent of your power!"
"Thousand spear sky!" A wall composing of one thousand sword thrusts then engulfed Tigbone. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Three thousand spear sky!" Tigbone copied the technique, but now instead of the demon, it was now Incus being engulfed in the array of thrusts.
Before the attack could fully swallow her, Incus grinned.
Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Tigbone looked around at himself.
He was completely covered in chains made of shadow.
Gritting his teeth, Tigbone shouted in outrage, his spit flying out everywhere:
"How dare you sully our great battle, fight me like a true warrior—!"
"Sky severing thrust." A large gaping hole then formed in Tigbone’s chest, "So what if I sullied our battle, you aren’t the main meal... you’re just a napkin to blow my nose."
Just when Tigbone was about to shout in outrage once more, Incus began stabbing.
The mouth, the abdomen, before repetitively stabbing through his stomach again and again.
Because his mouth had been pierced, Tigbone could do nothing but scream out air.
Soon Tigbone had died.
’Damn it, nothing. Not even this fool was enough to raise my stats or improve my skills.’ With a sour face, Incus jumped up in the air and looked around.
The knights were attempting to get past the wall of water but they couldn’t.
Summoning the [Water hero’s sword], Incus conjured multiple swords made of ice.
She then sent them flying off into the distance to stop the flow of rushing water, forming a bridge of swords.
The knights then began running into the middle sanctum of the kingdom of Febritust.
Landing back down, she took off her armor and began feeling her injuries.
’Combat is going to be difficult from this point, I’d better look for a mage or a recovery potion.’ Incus then started walking towards the knights.

Stumbling upon each other, the knights stopped in their tracks.
"Hero Incus, we are proud to greet you. Did you manage to defeat the legion commanders, we didn’t encounter any demons aside from the ones that were hiding in isolation... don’t worry though, we stayed clear out of their direction." The knight paused for a moment before continuing:
"In other words, we’re here to look for the survivors. If there’s anything we can do to help you then let us know—"
"Hand over a recovery potion." Incus interrupted, extending a arm with an open hand.
"Sorry Hero Incus, we don’t carry recovery potions on ourselves... you’d have to go back to base camp. We do however offer our gratitude for helping us cross over the defense mechanism." The knight lowered his head.
"Alright then, continue with your duties." Incus waved a hand before dashing away, after assessing that there wasn’t any healers amongst the knights.
When she approached the wall of water, Incus summoned the [Earth Hero’s sword].
"ExcalEarth." She then struck the ground, forming pillars to stop the rush of water.
’The wall of water must be the defense mechanism they talk about, in any case they should really improve it and turn it into the form of a dome or something.’
Hastening her speed, Incus soon arrived at the base camp.
Walking through the dead yet alive looking crowd, Incus walked through the militant tent.
"Who is it this time—Oh it’s you!" Commander Cage’s face turned from angry to surprised glee.
"Yes, it is indeed me. I’m looking for a recovery potion, unless you have a healer to offer." Incus noticed that almost everyone in the room was malnourished, after she payed closer attention to their appearances.
"Of course, we’ll call for a healer right away... I do apologize but we lack the food to offer you, our kingdom makes money and lives off fishing but the demons had poisoned the water, which is why consuming is advised against." Commander cage, walked out of the tent and gestured a message to a knight.
"Why did you not warn me earlier, I must know everything that has been caused by the demons, in the future make sure not to repeat the same mistake." Incus glared coldly.
’Seriously, I could have been poisoned if I took a sip from the river ways.’ Incus rubbed her temple.
Just when commander Cage was about to go on his knees to apologize, a timid youth around the age of Incus interrupted them.
"Pardon my intrusion, but I’ve been called for?" Said a healer, entering the tent.
