219 The Enemy Of An Enemy Is A Friend
Things became strange and chaotic. In the tournament, Lord Aiur had joined hands with the Lords of the three Light-Types to get rid of Su Wan.
However, he hadn’t expected the Light-Types to turn on him. The Light-Types wanted to find Lord Aiur’s territory and kill him. Lord Aiur, along with his hero, had run from their territory through a Dimensional Portal which had opened in the underground ruins.
That was when the Fallen Angel and other Dark-Types bumped into the nine-headed Hydra.
The enemy of an enemy was considered a friend. So, Lord Aiur tried to convince them to let him join the Dark-Types. “I know that the Light-Types and the Dark-Types never get along. We were neutral until now. But we can join you. Since my hero is neither of the Dark nor the Light, we can help you rope people in!”
The Light-Types hadn’t attacked yet. They were wary. Most importantly, the other group had four heroes. The Dark Enchanter, especially, could fight two heroes at once.
Lord Bevin was stunned. “Wait… why should we believe you? What if you are actually with the Light-Types and are trying to fool us?”
Lord Aiur was speechless. He hadn’t expected them to be so vigilant. He was at a loss. He didn’t know how to convince them of his innocence. Just then, the Hydra spoke. He had been silent all along.
“We can prove that we are innocent. I can tell you where the Light Princess is.”
“Don’t you dare!” said the three Light-Types. They suddenly became anxious.
Lord Gadar observed them closely. “Why does that make the Light-Types so nervous? They are acting as though we will find her and attack her.”
These words were unintentional but to the Fallen Angel, and other heroes, it was like thunder. The Fallen Angel hadn’t thought much of the Hydra’s statement about the Light Princess. Most times, the Light Princess was left alone until the Dark-Types had gathered enough forces to deal with her.
The Light Princess was extremely powerful. So, it was very difficult to ambush and trap her.
The Light-Types were so scared at the prospect of the Dark-Types getting to the Light Princess that the Fallen Angel felt that something was wrong.
“It’s almost as if they are afraid that we might bully her,” said the White Dragon Saint. “Or… maybe the Light Princess is weak right now, and we can ambush her easily.”
“Why are you all so nervous?” asked the Dark Enchanter. “You don’t really think a few of us can actually defeat the Light Princess, right?”
The Dark Enchanter found the White Dragon Saint’s guess very reasonable. As the second-in-command of the Light-Types, the Light Princess was just one rank below the King of Heaven.
Other than the King of Heaven himself, she was the most powerful hero among the Light-Types. In fact, there were rumors that the King of Heaven didn’t exist at all and that it was something the Light Princess had created as an object of faith while she ruled the Light-Types. It was believed she was the real leader of the Light-Types.
There were also legends about her. She was extremely powerful and nobody could stand against her. Her strength grew as her ambitions grew. It was rumored that she had a conflict with the previous King of Heaven and imprisoned him to secretly rule the Light-Types by herself.
Anybody could understand that the Light Princess was someone they shouldn’t mess with. A few Dark-Type heroes were no match for her.
The Light Princess didn’t have to worry about a few Dark-Types joining forces to fight her. However, from how the three Light-Types reacted, it seemed there was more to the story.
“Shut up!” said the Light Mage.
The three Light-Types charged toward the Hydra. They had to kill the nine-headed snake at any cost.
The Dark Enchanter waved her staff. A black energy wall formed between the Hydra and the Light-Type heroes.
BOOM!
With a loud bang, the terrifying power of light struck the wall made of black energy. The wall cracked and shattered, inch by inch.
Although the powerful attack had shattered the wall, they weren’t celebrating. The Hydra was still alive! They couldn’t reach the Hydra.
“Really? You want to kill him in front of us?” said the White Dragon Saint.
Seeing this, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon also flew over to block them. In the tournament, they had fought against the Hydra. This time, it was different. They were joining forces with him.
The Fallen Angel realized that the Light-Types really were terrified.
“I am curious now,” said the Dark Enchanter. “What has happened to the Light Princess that makes you this jumpy?”
The nine-headed Hydra chuckled. “Of course, they are jumpy. The Light Princess is in a very delicate situation.”
The Hydra seemed to know something about it. The more he revealed, the angrier the Light-Types became.
“Shut up!”
“Kill them!”
The Starlight Swordsman charged. He really wanted to kill them all.
“Brother snake,” said the White Dragon Saint. “What exactly has happened to the Light Princess?”
“Who knows?” The nine-headed Hydra smirked.
