At this moment, the hall was terrifyingly quiet.
Lillian, floating in midair, continued to look down at everyone with those golden eyes, and this oppressive feeling made everyone present hold their breath.
“Lillian… you… do you still remember me?” Lisa asked, looking up.
However, Lillian did not respond to her.
There was no emotional fluctuation in her golden eyes either.
Elia, standing beside Lisa, stared intently at Lillian. She could tell from those eyes that she was no longer the original Lillian.
That… was an existence transformed by the Ancient Core, and also a new Saint created by that damn Holy Grail Order, whose combat power was even stronger than hers.
“Lisa, she is no longer Lillian… at least not the Lillian from before.” Elia patted Lisa’s shoulder and comforted her.
“I know. I’m not a coward who only cries.” Lisa was just about to stand up when Kiz suddenly reached out and pulled her up.
Kiz showed her a smile and said, “Come on, let’s bring that noisy little girl back together.”
However, just then, two flashes of light passed by, and Bishop North and Bishop Fei Yue appeared again in this hall.
They stood on either side of Lillian, looking at the three below.
“The ritual turned out even better than expected… The new Saint’s power even surpasses the original.” North said contentedly.
Fei Yue beside him nodded.
“Now it’s time to test her combat power.”
Then, she turned to Lillian and said in a commanding tone:
“Lillian, attack them… no, eliminate them.”
Hearing this, Lillian lowered her head.
In her golden eyes, there was still no expression, but her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and she did not follow the order to act.
“Attack them.” Fei Yue repeated in a firmer tone.
As a result, Lillian still did not move.
At this, North frowned and asked in confusion:
“What’s going on? Shouldn’t she be completely obedient to orders? Could it be…”
Then Fei Yue spoke again:
“Lillian, quickly…”
However, before she could finish speaking, Lillian suddenly raised her hand, and a golden light shot from her palm and directly struck Fei Yue’s body.
Fei Yue was caught off guard and was blasted away.
“You—!” North was greatly shocked.
Lillian slowly turned her head to look at him, parted her lips slightly and said:
“Don’t command me.”
Her voice was very soft and flat, without any fluctuation.
But that calmness was even more terrifying than anger.
This made North’s face change instantly.
He realized that this newborn Saint was not as easy to control as they had imagined… She had the power of the Ancient Core, but that power also gave her an independent will.
Or rather, that power itself was independent.
In any case, their Order seemed to have created another disobedient one.
At that moment, Fei Yue slid down from the distant wall, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, making her look extremely disheveled.
“Damn it. She’s out of control…” She said through gritted teeth.
North beside her said in a deep voice:
“It doesn’t matter. Even if this girl isn’t under our control, she won’t help those guys.”
So, he looked at Lillian and said in the gentlest tone of his life:
“Do whatever you want. We won’t interfere.”
After speaking, he wanted to complain… He had never spoken so gently to his own daughter, yet he had to be nice to this girl.
Hearing this, Lillian glanced at him and stopped speaking.
Then she slowly descended, her fair little feet gently stepping onto the ground, and she was less than ten steps away from Elia and the other two.
“You are very strong. I want to fight you.” She said softly to Elia.
Elia just quietly looked at this blank slate and asked:
“Do you know who you are?”
“Yes. My name is Lillian. The rest… I don’t know.”
Hmm… so she still remembers her name, but that’s it.
“Then do you know who she is?” Elia pointed at Lisa and asked again.
Lillian turned to Lisa, looked carefully, then shook her head and said:
“I don’t recognize her… but… I feel a bit familiar.”
“Lillian, I am your mother.” Lisa said softly.
Lillian tilted her head and asked:
“Mother? What is a mother?”
To this, Lisa could only shake her head helplessly and stopped speaking.
Then, Elia stepped forward to block in front of Lisa and Kiz and said seriously:
“If you want to fight, I’ll fight with you.”
“Okay.”
As soon as the words fell, she raised her hand and sent a golden beam of light towards Elia.
Elia was also prepared.
She also raised her hand and drove a golden beam of light to meet it.
Boom—!
The two beams of light collided in the air and erupted with a large amount of holy light, causing the entire hall to shake violently, and also made Kiz and Lisa, as members of the Blood Clan, furrow their brows tightly.
The light faded, and the two still stood there unscathed, but countless cracks had appeared on the surrounding walls.
This was just a tentative exchange of attacks, and it nearly overturned the entire hall.
Then, Lillian’s lips curled up slightly and said:
“Interesting.”
She raised her hand again and gathered even more powerful Holy Light Power.
Elia’s eyes sharpened, and she simultaneously released a similar magic.
[Tenth Tier: Holy Light Heaven Rush]
[Tenth Tier: Holy Light Heaven Judgment]
The two extremely powerful magical effects collided again, and this time the explosive power was ten times stronger than before.
This caused the entire hall to begin collapsing.
Seeing this, Kiz grabbed Lisa and quickly retreated backwards, saying:
“Get out of here quickly! This place is collapsing!”
Then the two rushed out of the hall at great speed and returned to the passage outside.
And behind them, the hall completely collapsed.
In the dust, two golden lights shot up into the sky, and then Elia and Lillian landed simultaneously in a clearing not far away.
“You are stronger than I imagined…” Lillian said softly.
“You too.” Elia nodded.
“So, are you also a Saint? Like me?”
“Huh? Yes… yes.” Elia was bewildered.
‘Why is this girl asking this!’
But she still answered her question.
“Then why do you look so weak? I feel I am stronger than you.”
Elia: “…”
This girl really speaks bluntly.
“Maybe, but strength isn’t just about power~”
Lillian thought carefully, then asked:
“Then what does it look at?”
However, Elia chose not to answer her, but instead, being unscrupulous, instantly appeared in front of Lillian and punched her.
Even while in doubt, Lillian’s reaction was still extremely fast, and she directly raised her hand to block the attack.
Fist and palm met, and both retreated several steps at the same time.
“So fast.”
“You’re not slow either.”
After another round of flattering the enemy, the two struck out again simultaneously.
This time it was pure hand-to-hand combat… pure fists, palms, elbows, knees.
In short, each strike carried earth-shattering power. The surrounding rocks were shattered by the shockwaves, and the ground cracked open with one crack after another.
Kiz and Lisa stood in the distance, watching the battle nervously.
“They… are too fast. I can’t see clearly at all…” At this moment, the Little Princess clearly realized how big the gap between herself and Elia was.
“We can’t even intervene, so we can only watch here~” Lisa shrugged.
