Chapter 512: Zhongfu Palace
The beam saber that was so powerful and terrifying was easily destroyed by someone.
Yes, it was not destroyed, but vanished.
This scene was too shocking.
If it was a frontal attack, it could be said that the opponent was stronger than Artoria. However, it was not as if the opponent did not have the ability to fight back.
It was just like how Artoria fought Lancelot after suppressing her strength.
Although the Light Sword at the peak of Godly Monarch-level was very strong, Lancelot was not completely defenseless.
Unlike now, when the Light Sword vanished into thin air.
It made people feel that it was a fight between people of a completely different level.
It was a crushing defeat!
Artoria felt this the most.
She could now confirm that the opponent was in the Eternal Realm.
Only the Eternal Realm could easily resolve her ultimate move at the peak of half-step Eternal Realm.
She had experienced that feeling of powerlessness.
Even if you used all your strength, you could not hurt the other party at all.
The other party was still as relaxed as usual.
Artoria smiled bitterly helplessly.
She did not expect that she would still be unable to protect her friends after breaking through to her current strength.
There was no moment that she yearned more than now to break through to the Eternal Realm.
As long as she reached the Eternal Realm, her Light Sword could threaten the other side.
But now, she really had no choice. She really couldn’t do it!
Who could help her!?
On one side was Guinevere, who was kidnapped, and on the other side was her teacher’s benefactor.
Artoria didn’t know what choice to make.
Thinking of Su Han, Artoria suddenly thought of something.
The other party seemed to be able to fight above his level.
According to her teacher, his previous strength seemed to be enough to fight against a half-step into the Eternal Realm.
So now that the rune had unsealed the Frost Sorrow, did he have the strength to fight against the Eternal Realm?
Thinking of this, Artoria suddenly felt excited.
If Daniel knew what she was thinking, he would definitely scoff.
What were you thinking?
The half-step Eternal Realm was like an ant!
There was a huge difference between the half-step Eternal Realm and the Eternal Realm.
Didn’t you see how he taught Artoria a lesson just now?
But Artoria believed in Su Han.
But the key thing now was that damn guy was still in seclusion.
He hadn’t come out for three days.
Thinking of this, she wanted to hit him.
What could be more infuriating than this?
Could it be that she could only stall for time?
But who knew when he would come out!?
If he was in seclusion for a year, then what was there to stall for?
But this was also the only chance.
Finally, Artoria made a bold decision.
She decided to take a gamble.
She bet that Su Han would come out at this time today, and then find something abnormal and come here to look for her.
It had to be said that this was very bold.
If Su Han came out, then everything would be fine. After all, the runic symbol was on his body. When the time came, he would run away and the others would leave.
But once Su Han couldn’t come out…
If her delay caused the other party to loathe her, then there might very well be some bad consequences.
Since she had already made a decision, then it was time to think about how to delay.
Just as she was in a hurry to spin around, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Oh right, she could ask him where he came from.
Up until now, she still did not know where he came from.
She would do it this way.
“How is it? Have you made up your mind?”
Seeing that Artoria had come to a sudden realization from thinking, Daniel could not help but ask.
“Ahem, before we talk, can you introduce yourselves? After all, understanding each other is also the way the sword of friends interacts.”
Hearing Artoria’s words, Daniel nodded, not realizing that she was stalling for time.
“I’ve already said my name before. Now, let me tell you about our faction. After all, as the master of a starfield, you have the right to know.
“We come from a faction called the Zhongfu Palace.”
“Zhongfu Palace? I’ve never heard of it.”
Artoria shook her head, indicating that she did not know.
“It’s normal that you don’t know. Our force is very mysterious, and most people have never heard of it.”
After a pause, Daniel continued, “This force has a very long history, and it has existed for tens of millions of years. Its purpose is to collect runes.”
A force of tens of millions of years, one could imagine that there were such terrifying experts in it.
“Is this rune that attractive? I can only increase my strength with that.”
To be honest, she really didn’t understand why so many people wanted the rune.
It wasn’t of much use to her.
Could it be that it was to unseal…
Hmm?
Artoria fell into deep thought. She seemed to know what this faction was doing.
Daniel did not see Artoria’s strange behavior. After thinking for a while, he still told her the reason.
After all, although very few people knew about this, all the factions with a certain amount of background knew about it.
“The rune itself is not very important. It can only increase one’s strength.”
“Just like the Offensive Rune you used before, it was only upgraded to the late stage of the half-step Eternal Realm. In addition, it will at most increase the sharpness of your sword.”
“These are all side effects.”
“The true purpose of the rune is to unseal something.”
At this point, Daniel’s expression became serious.
And Artoria thought to herself, ‘As expected.’
Her guess was right.
It really had something to do with that guy’s sword.
She didn’t expect that guy to have such a big background.
“That sword’s name is Frost Sorrow. It’s a world-destroying sword. Once it’s born, it will endanger the entire universe. Our faction’s purpose is to protect the seal of this sword. That’s why we came here to ask for the rune.”
Daniel finally revealed his true purpose for coming here.
Artoria also nodded. If there really was such a terrifying sword, to be honest, it would be better to be sealed. After all, this thing was too unsettling.
No one would want to live a good life the day before yesterday and suddenly be destroyed by an unknown power.
However, Artoria still had reservations about Daniel’s true purpose.
Was their goal really to seal the divine sword?
If this force had been built not long ago, perhaps they would really believe in this idea.
However, it had already been a million years. Who knew if this higher-up would go through a metamorphosis?
After all, a random person would have the strength of the Eternal Realm.
Needless to say, there were countless experts like this in there.
Perhaps some higher-ups had the ambition to collect all the runes and then unseal the sword.
As a king, she had seen too many such things, so she had to think of the people on the opposite side from the worst-case scenario.
“If that’s the case, can’t you just spread the runes all over the universe? Why do we still need to collect them? What if your people don’t have good intentions and want to unseal them?”
