Chapter 519: The Demon Princess and the Black Swan Girl (Part 2)
The sword is my body, even if the world cannot understand, even if there is nothing... Lala felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, and even the black and white spheres spinning continuously in front of her could not provide her with any sense of security. Without hesitation, she began to unleash her strongest domain, the ultimate divine skill she had comprehended after crossing countless battlefields as the Hero of the Sword.
Doubtful as it may be, the dual swords in hand danced like flowing clouds and flowing water, with the sword momentum centered around "circle". While it did not emphasize attack, it was undoubtedly the best in terms of defense.
Lala, who has already built her own "circle," gazes at the mysterious enemy before her with a solemn expression. From this enemy, who possesses an angelic appearance, she feels an immense pressure that makes her skin tighten.
The magic conversion is complete. With a hint of regret, Lala set down her twin swords. The black and white sphere, now about twice the size it was before, floated in front of her, spinning leisurely just as it had before. A strange gravitational pull emanated from the sphere itself, instinctively devouring the surrounding magical energy.
Reborn in a less complete form, she is in need of such a suitable treasure to soothe her soul. On the path of seeking true knowledge, having such a beautiful soul by her side must surely be a delightful experience
Moreover, since she already possesses such immense power, why can she see no trace of wisdom in this dragon's head, only a wild madness akin to that of a beast? The dragon race is not merely a creature of brute strength; otherwise, it would not have been able to dominate the entire continent and create the glorious era of dragons
So far, she can only rely on the power of this black and white sphere to counter the enemy's attacks. Particularly against direct energy-based attacks, this black and white sphere possesses nearly perfect defensive capabilities; it not only can withstand the attacks but can also absorb and store the incoming magical energy, forming a more powerful defensive form.

Everyone hopes for a solution that satisfies both sides, and everyone looks forward to a perfect ending. However, such naive thoughts cannot be realized in the harsh reality. More often than not, it requires the destruction of something to save another, and sacrifice is necessary to achieve victory
However, if one does not need to consider such complicated matters and simply uses the remaining strength to capture a person, it would still be an easy task, even if the target is the legendary hero of this world—the Sword Hero
The ground that the dragon's breath passed over turned into a strange, ghastly green, then softened into a swamp-like muck. It was evident that this corrosive dragon's breath was equally effective against both living and non-living entities
With eyes half-open, it seemed as if the leisurely resting crystal dragon's head had perfectly opened its pair of dragon eyes this time, and the crystal ball held in its hand began to emit a magnificent purple glow
Unlike the Titan's Blessing, which connects with the earth and offers a robust, direct defense against all, the circular sword stance provides a more gentle and harmonious form of defense
This is not what is commonly referred to as "intelligence and talent," but rather a rare and elusive quality, a true genius of combat. If she were to possess a truly exceptional lineage and physique, along with sufficiently powerful magical abilities and weaponry support, she would indeed qualify to become an "Apostle," or she could be utilized as a resource immediately.
Despite the suppression of the laws of this world, that portion of power is continuously diminishing, and soon her own abilities will also weaken to a level commensurate with that of the books. The fact that the attack of the two-headed dragon, which originally possessed the ability to devastate the earth, has been nullified serves as the best proof of this
Given the constraints of the laws of this world as she perceives them, the strength and potential displayed by the adorable little creature before her is already sufficient to be deemed legendary. What is even more remarkable is that she is not fighting alone; she carries an immense burden, one that even she, who once belonged to the nobility of Hell, finds somewhat astonishing.
The dragon's head, spewing forth its fiery breath, grew increasingly furious, intensifying the force of its exhalation. However, no matter how much power it exerted, the black-and-white sphere calmly consumed all of the dragon's breath, not allowing even a trace to escape. Eventually, the evil dragon's head felt as though it was no longer the one expelling the breath, but rather that the sphere was drawing its breath in. A powerful suction emanated from the sphere, connecting to its mouth.
Gāwū! The dragon head of the evil dragon in the two-headed dragon finally unleashed the long-awaited dragon breath, a type of corrosive breath that is deep green in color. This is the most venomous and toxic dragon breath; even the body of a level 7 powerhouse would be instantly corroded to the point of leaving no bones behind upon contact with this terrifying dragon breath
Alternatively, transforming this beautiful young girl before me into my "apostle" is also a good choice
Even such imperfect and flawed justice must be executed by someone. If no one takes action and everyone relies on the legendary savior to appear, that is fundamentally impossible
It is not merely a simple magical oppression, but rather something of a higher order, which can even be challenging for her during her strongest periods
The shadow of the black swan quietly appeared behind Lala, emitting a beautiful call. In order to construct this black-and-white sphere and the * picture * book, Lala expended an immense amount of magical power that was previously unattainable. In contrast, her body was further eroded by this terrifying curse.
In other words, is this a duel between Lala and Lala
With a thunderous roar, the green dragon's breath, carrying the power to corrode everything, struck directly at the black-and-white sphere. However, it was completely swallowed by the continuously rotating sphere. It appeared as if a massive black-and-white void had suddenly appeared before Lara, consuming all of that terrifying dragon's breath.
"Dear little one, please tell me your name." The angel on the throne gently patted the head of the frustrated dragon, whose attack had been ineffective, and inquired pleasantly about the name of the girl who would soon become her apostle
Transforming the impossible into the possible, taking the sword as form and the circle as essence, ultimately achieving this. This is precisely the undocumented divine technique "The Black and White of Beginnings" within the emblematic sword style. Regrettably, it remains an unfinished divine technique to this day
She indeed remembers that in the final battle against the one who is "Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Supreme," all members of the Pillars of Legend and the other demon lords should have been completely annihilated. In those last moments, with only a few fragments of her soul remaining, she could even feel the tremors of the world when the supreme deity, known as the "One True Master," fell, the master of all angels.
Lala furrowed her brow; the longan from earlier and the dragon's breath now both indicated that what stood before her was an unequivocal dragon of magic. However, while there were indeed two-headed dragon species, she had never heard of a magic dragon possessing such strength, with just one of its heads wielding such power.
"Well then, the time I can exist freely is not much longer. You should obediently put down the sword in your hand and become mine." From another world, Lala raised her hand, but this time it was not placed on the head of the attacking evil dragon, but on the other side, atop the beautifully gem-like crystal dragon head.
"Very well, Lala, as a token of gratitude, I shall also reveal my name to you. I am the true master of knowledge from the ancient world, the hellish demoness resurrected from death, and I once held the sixty-second position among the pillars of legend. My name is Varak. How coincidental, many also call me Lala." The former hellish demoness was surprised by this unexpected commonality, and it seemed that she and the young girl before her truly shared a fateful connection
However, she was fully aware of this cost from the very beginning. Yet, for the sake of the real battle that lay ahead, this sacrifice was unavoidable
However, not everyone is qualified to call her "Lala". Even among the other members of the Legendary Pillars, only a few of those ranked among the Supreme Four Pillars have the right to do so. Although the ranking of the so-called Legendary Pillars is merely a game played at some point in the past between the forces of Heaven and Hell, there is no doubt that all the demon gods qualified to be among them are legendary figures of the dark camp
Moreover, this time, it is no longer a flat "circle," but has transformed into a higher-dimensional "sphere," merging black and white into one, without beginning or end, a perfect and flawless sphere
Clap! Clap! The master of the two-headed dragon, the angel seated on the throne, once again applauded Lala's performance. Although still quite immature, Lala's understanding and practical application of the concept of "circle" demonstrate her ability to comprehend the rules of the world.
Upon sensing danger, the malevolent dragon quickly closed its mouth. If this continued, it would not be the one attacking its enemies, but rather the enemies absorbing its power and resources.
Even if cursed, even if not trusted by others, as long as she still holds the sword in her hand, she will continue to walk on her own path
Hatred, pain, sorrow, despair, fear, death—so many shadows converge behind her, transforming into that beautiful black swan, which possesses infinite potential for development but also represents an immense burden of sin
To kill a few in order to save the majority, to destroy a nation in order to save the world, this is the justice she has chosen
"Lala." Lala does not conceal the meaning of her name. Regardless of the nature of her sins, she has long since borne them. Concealing her identity to cover up anything holds no significance for her
Regardless, since the only supreme deity has fallen and she has now revived, it indicates that the final war was indeed a victory for the demon lords. For her, this is truly the most delightful news.
Hmm, this seems to be a technique favored by Lord Beluda, so let me show you its true form. Infinite Overthrow Killing Method, Divine Skill—Eight Wine Cups
Yet that heavy sin did not crush her; instead, it made her will even more resolute. The girl, who bore all the curses with her own will and continued to fight, was as beautiful as a crystal rose blooming in the depths of darkness
The circular pattern of black on the left and white on the right reappeared before Lala. Compared to the one that had unfolded hastily earlier, this pattern was more simplistic and gentle, resembling the moon in the sky, mysterious and beautiful
However, it is regrettable that what she faces is not an enemy of this world, but a powerful demon that once commanded 38 legions, existing in another realm. Having just awakened from an almost eternal slumber, she retains a portion of the power that originally belonged to her.
