Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Histia explained her interrogation method:

"Your Highness, I have had many encounters with demons, whether they are blood demons or succubi. I am familiar with the way these demons fight with their followers - if you are really contaminated by them, I will know with one try."

Rhine was a little surprised: "Your Excellency, are you planning to compete with me...?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will limit my power to the same level as you."

After saying that, Histia abolished her martial arts and sealed the divine blessings and most of the magic power in her body.

Only a meager amount of power remains at the level of a mortal.

On the same level as Rhine...

Histia also picked up a sword.

At this time, her strength was already so weak that she could not even construct a crystal weapon.

Histia: "I know that His Highness is very skilled in martial arts. I hope my request will not make you feel abrupt."

She turned herself into a mortal just to have a fair fight with Rhine, who was also a mortal.

"Come, Your Highness."

"If you want to prove your innocence, just try your best to defeat me."

Histia clenched her sword tightly and stood ready...

"Don't be merciful, I'm already prepared for defeat."

temporary announcement

348. Hestia’s troubles, Hein’s truth

Let a mortal prince, who is weak and has not received much military training since childhood, face off against the strongest demigod in the world?

To outsiders, this looks like murder.

But Hestia is serious,

When she was in the Kingdom of Heaven, Hestia had seen Rhine's astonishing strength after being elevated to a demigod. Later, Hestia had deepened her understanding by listening to Etalion bragging about her brother every day.

Rhine must be a strong man who hides his secrets.

In order to get the truth, but also to satisfy her own selfishness... Histia issued tactics to Rhine.

And just as Hestia expected,

Rhine took the sword handed over by Histia and accepted Histia's challenge.

Rhine looked at the sword in his hand. It was a very fine standard one-handed sword. It was equipped with a magic crystal made of silver-white crystals. It was a perfect fusion of the wand and the sword. The sword's spine was also engraved with the coat of arms of the Royal family of Rhine.

Probably when Hestia went out today, she stopped by the Royal Guard downstairs.

Rhine: "Want to communicate with swords? You are so romantic."

Histia responded with a smile: "Your Highness, when will it start?"

Rhine: "Now!"

The duel suddenly started at this moment, and Rhine launched an attack faster than Hestia.

His sword stabbed Hestia, an ordinary straight thrust... But, it was not that simple.

When Rhine thrust out the iron sword, silver-white crystal clusters quickly grew on the hilt of the iron sword. A crystallized gun rod pushed up the hilt. The sword in Rhine's hand turned into a spear. Tia stabbed a fatal shot from a distance that was out of reach!

Histia narrowly escaped this sudden attack.

At the same time, she couldn't help but reveal a surprised smile on her face.

Rhine was indeed far more powerful than people thought, and when he struck, it was a killing move that Hestia had not expected.

Moreover, the crystallized gun barrel...

This His Highness can actually construct divine crystals using such thin magic power!

Histia began to enter the state. Even though she could not hide her excitement, she was still able to remain calm and control the iron sword to face the crystal spear.

Guns and swords continued to collide, intersect, and entangle, and the sound of steel clashing sounded intensively in the interrogation room.

Having lost the speed of a demigod, and the gorgeous sword moves composed of divine authority and forbidden spells, Hestia can only treat the weapon in her hand as a simple extension of her arm, and every sword she swings now, It was ridiculously slow to her,

But it is precisely because of this that she must make the most of the wisdom and experience that cannot be sealed in her mind to win the battle.

However......

In this pure competition of skills,

Histia was no match for Rhine.

During the constant confrontation, she discovered the huge gap between herself and Rhine, which made her despair!

At the beginning... Rhine used the crystal gun, giving him the first mover advantage in this simple weapon battle, suppressing Hestia.

Of course, Histia would not suffer from weapons, so then, when Histia also summoned the crystallized gun barrel, she used long weapons to duel like Rhine.

Rhine simply threw away the handle of the gun, and quickly rushed into Hestia's arms with the one-handed sword. In the flash of lightning, the sword edge passed under Hestia's jaw,

He almost cut Hestia's neck.

He seemed to be telling Hestia silently,

It has nothing to do with the superiority of the weapon;

He is just simple and more powerful than Histia.

Rhine's fighting skills have become so superb that they transcend cognition.

Histia was horrified many times to see that the sword he thrust out actually bent the trajectory of space out of thin air, achieving a fatal attack that was physically impossible for Histia to defend against! !

Histia was very convinced that during this short confrontation, Rhine had too many opportunities to chop off Histia's head.

But he often showed mercy,

Like a master giving tips to the younger generation...

Histia became his apprentice.

Originally, Histia wanted to interrogate Rhine with a sword.

I want to determine through battle whether Rhine Hein is really a believer of the evil god as the temple said,

but now,

She is the one being tested...

And during the battle, Histia also noticed something.

An extremely strange point.

That is, Rhine will always disappear from her sight suddenly!

It's not some brilliant movement technique, nor is it like some kind of blinding trick.

If it were a duel between demigods, Hestia wouldn't be surprised if the enemy pulled out such a trick.

but now,

Rhine and Hestia are both at the level of mortals.

Although Rhine moved extremely fast and his movements dazzled her, Hestia still felt that she could catch Rhine's movements and his spell casting with her naked eyes.

But why...

When Rhine disappeared, it was almost as if he had evaporated without any warning.

Histia couldn't see clearly, or in other words, couldn't see what exactly Rhine had done to disappear from the place where he was.

It's like...

He was taken to another world.

Disappeared without warning again,

Rhine evaporated in this world for a few seconds, and then appeared behind Hestia.

"How about you talk to me?"

Rhine's voice startled Hestia, who was on full alert.

——When did His Highness come around behind me? !

Although Histia was shocked, she did not panic. She calmly twisted her body and handed out a sword.

Then her attack failed as expected.

Even if it was hidden on the sword, the explosive magic she concentrated with all her strength almost swallowed up the entire interrogation room.

It still didn't hit Rhine at all.

And Rhine disappeared again, and this time, he appeared directly in front of Hestia,

Just like Hestia felt.

He suddenly returned from the state of evaporation without any warning, and appeared in front of Hestia out of thin air without any trace of movement...

And he continued to ask Hestia questions in a gentle voice:

"Your Excellency Histia, what do you think of my matter?"

"I don't know, Your Highness, to be honest, I don't know."

Rhine's offensive did not stop. Hestia fought hard while answering Rhine's questions.

Amid the clanging steel collision, Hestia showed a bitter smile:

"I wrote your name on the holy stone, and Sia saw everything. But Sia knew about it, and I, as the person involved, didn't have any memory."

Histia said helplessly: "I was not the one who sentenced Your Highness, but someone who temporarily took away the control of my body."

Rhine: "You are possessed by the goddess."

Histia: "Yes... everyone said that."

With almost 99% purity of divine blood, Histia is infinitely close to the goddess of order herself.

It is of course completely reasonable to say that she was possessed by the goddess one day and became the temporary body of the goddess walking in the mortal world.

And it also explains a problem that plagues everyone in the world...

That's why Hestia has such a pure goddess bloodline and can constantly approach the goddess of order without end.

If Hestia was specially created by the goddess and was a body prepared for the goddess to come to the mortal world - then everything would make sense.

With this holy stone incident, although Hein regretted losing a prince, he was also surprised to learn the good news that the goddess was about to come to the mortal world!

but......

Histia's mood was complicated: "But I can't guarantee this, Your Highness."

"Is the person who wants to take away my body really the goddess I believe in?"

Hestia asked softly, full of confusion:

"Everyone has told me since I was little, how selfless and kind the goddess is, how much she loves the world, and all the great things she has done are for the sake of all living beings in this world, so that they can live a better life, obtain happiness, and enjoy it forever. Peace."

And Hestia is the most beloved eldest daughter among all living beings.

So Hestia has the obligation to fight for the goddess,

Because the goddess of order is the only gospel in this world, the only divine being who loves all living beings in this world.

In her heart, there were only those poor children who were struggling in the mortal world.

She is the strongest god, and she was born to defend the weak.

However, now, Hestia learned that she was not the daughter of God.

But a tool of God.

What Crystal God wants is to wait until Hestia matures, harvest her soul just like harvesting a crop, turn her back on herself, and obtain a container that can walk in the mortal world...

"I am like this, and Italion must be like this... both of us, have been chosen... tools."
