I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 699

Chapter 81: The Moment of Heaven

Golden light exploded and rained down, stirring up a massive cloud of dust.

The girl sprang away from the edge of the explosion like a startled rabbit, her Seraph ability fully activated, slashing out a lightning-fast sword strike.

The extreme speed of Sequence 6 far exceeded the limits of an ordinary person’s dynamic vision; most of the audience couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Alice’s afterimage, only vaguely seeing a flash of gold.

However, this sword strike, which caught many Sequence 6 strongholds off guard, was met by Sang, who countered with a holy light spear that firmly blocked it.

Having missed her strike, Alice intended to pursue, but felt a chilling presence closing in.

Something was coming!

With alarm bells ringing in her head, Alice wasted no time and retreated as fast as she could, but Sang’s speed had multiplied, transforming into a golden blur hot on her heels.

In an instant, the white-hot and golden shimmering figures danced like two shooting stars within the altar, colliding repeatedly; wherever they passed, walls shattered, the ground buckled, and stone pillars bore terrifying marks.

Blood splattered as sword blades clashed again and again, the ringing of swords echoing like a concert of chaos, creating tension so thick it could be cut with a knife.

Finally, the two figures became visible once more.

Sang, who had somehow obtained a sword spear in one hand and a dagger in the other, stood calmly on a high platform, looking down at the girl below.

Alice, panting heavily, sporting damaged armor, had blood oozing out from wounds that the holy light couldn’t heal.

At this moment, Sang had unleashed the aura of Sequence 5 and it was still growing stronger.

Both his power and speed had risen to a new level, making it difficult for Alice to keep up even when enhancing a specific ability.

But what truly put Alice at a disadvantage wasn’t just the difference in bloodline levels.

The moves had changed.

Every attack, every step, every breath became more refined; the use of holy light was clearly more precise and practiced, making Sang seem like a different person than moments ago.

Even her master hadn’t anticipated what to do in this situation!

From the moment Sang launched his counterattack, all of Alice’s advantages evaporated.

What now?

At least if she could keep up with bloodline levels, there might be a chance…

Long ago, Alice had reached the limit of Sequence 7, but no matter how she explored, she couldn’t break through the bottleneck between low and mid-tier.

Right now, her Extraordinary Power was running low; if she couldn’t maintain her Seraph state, her bloodline level would revert to Sequence 7, and it would all be over…!

Before Alice could even think of a strategy, the enemy came again.

The Divine Child leaped, and the sword spear fell like a cannonball.

Even though Alice dodged just in time, the immense force sent her flying.

This time, Sang took the offensive.

The sword spear made of holy light buzzed with intensity, growing ever-brighter, shining like the sun.

Sang didn’t chase her down but directly hurled this terrifying light spear straight at her.

The golden light shot out like a released bowstring, causing a violent explosion of holy light.

The sound was like a volcanic eruption, shaking the entire altar; in fact, half of the altar was reduced to nothing, leaving only the light barrier suffering under the terrifying force.

The girl fell to the ground in disarray, her golden hair scattered, one arm hanging limply as she strained to prop herself with the blade.

A full-force attack from Sequence 5 was simply beyond her ability to withstand.

Even without a direct hit, the terrifying shockwave shattered one of her Sanctum Armguards.

Without that guard, she would have lost at least one arm.

No more delays.

Realizing the gap in their strengths, Alice did not feel fear; instead, her knightly spirit and cold resolve surged as she shouted, raising her sword forward.

Faced with the Child of Light, who seemed completely changed, her battle experience and her master’s advice became irrelevant.

The only thing left for her was a desperate gamble!

Sword Blade Storm.

Thirty-two slashes erupted in an instant, enveloped in white holy light, weaving a dense and fearsome sword aura.

Sang’s steps were finally blocked by the girl’s desperate defense.

Three slashes broke the short sword, and seven slashes shattered the spear.

Twenty-one slashes destroyed Sang’s Holy Light Armor, and finally, the blade struck Sang’s body, leaving behind a bloody wound.

However, just as the final and most powerful slash was about to connect, Sang forcibly unleashed a wave of holy light.

The Sword Blade Storm was extinguished in an instant by the holy light hurricane, and Alice’s movements were snapped to a halt under the overwhelming Extraordinary Power.

In the eastern continent, the Pope lifted the corner of his mouth slightly.

Sang struck out, overwhelming golden light surged like an ocean, engulfing the girl’s figure.

Under an incredible impact, Alice was effortlessly sent flying away, falling to the ground like a kite with its string cut.

The girl lay there, blood flowing freely, as if she had lost all life.

Yet, the wound she had inflicted upon Sang healed rapidly under the holy light, as though everything she had done was in vain.

Knights of the kingdom shouted in despair, students from the academy could not bear to watch, and adventurers cursed the coldness of the Eastern Candidate, but none of it reached Alice’s ears or could change the overwhelmingly adverse battle situation.

It had to end.

Sure, she couldn’t be killed, but the power of the Saintess must return to the Church.

The defier would be punished.

For example, by temporarily stripping her of her bloodline powers, allowing the Church to take control before returning them.

Thinking this, the Pope squeezed every ounce of power from Sang, pushing him to his limits, using the Extraordinary Power of Radiance beyond capacity.

An immense power made Sang’s heart race, bloodlines quiver, and every vein in his body rupture, spilling blood.

The high price paid summoned the Church’s Extraordinary Secret Technique.

Divine Technique: Moment of Heaven.

A complex holy light array stacked five layers high, engraved with angelic symbols, aimed at the distant girl.

“Damn it, that’s not something a mid-tier could pull off! Do you think I’m an idiot?!”

Teresa shouted angrily, springing to her feet.

But Rayo grabbed her wrist tightly.

“The Child of Light has extraordinary talent, so they can grasp techniques that only archbishops are qualified to learn.”

“…Rayo, are you serious?”

“The power of Sequence 5‘s divine technique is limited; it won’t take her life.”

“But it still…” Teresa paused, feeling a chill run down her spine, finally realizing the Church’s intentions.

What they wanted was a puppet that could be manipulated at will, not an uncooperative Saintess guarded by White Harbor. As long as they could seize the Destined Saintess, it didn’t matter whether she was a true Saint or not.

No one noticed the two high-level Extraordinary Beings subtly staring each other down.

Meanwhile, the array of Divine Technique: Moment of Heaven was nearly complete, poised for action.

More radiant than daylight, the holy light emitted a merciless chill.

Lying on the ground, Alice raised her head in confusion, her eyes devoid of focus and light.
