Chapter 26: CH 26:The Prince
The prince set off solemnly, with a bit of murderous intent in his solemnity.
Anyone who dares to snatch my princess will be killed!
Long after he left, dull footsteps sounded, and the figure of the Dark knight emerged. At the same time, the old lady, who had originally looked miserable, stood up again.
"That guy is quite strong!"The old lady said in amazement.
Rock also nodded.
"According to the devil, he should be considered a senior apprentice."
The supernatural system in the fairy tale world is very structured,much more formal than the chaotic power dynamics of the Marvel world. It follows a clear hierarchy: apprentice, professional, and legendary levels, with each level further divided into primary, intermediate, and senior tiers.
The Senior apprentice is the strongest batch of apprentices. Even the most mysterious and special mirror devil is only a Intermidiate apprentice. As for the evil queen, she is just a primary apprentice.
"However, even though he is a senior apprentice, it's hard to predict the outcome against those ugly dwarves."
Those dwarves, individually, were not even as good as a primary apprentice. An ordinary person could probably kill a dwarf, but if their special weapons were taken into account,the outcome would be hard to predict. If a group of dwarves used Supernatural weapons at the same time, it's possible that even a senior apprentice would be killed.
"We will know after we take a look~"
When the prince found the house of the dwarves with murderous intent, he saw a group of ugly and short creatures, like little monsters,"fiddling" with a corpse.
When the prince looked at the face of the"corpse", his eyes suddenly widened with fury.
These wretched monsters dared to harm my princess!
The furious prince instantly drew out his sword, stomped on the ground, and charged towards one of the dwarfs.
With a swift slash, a dwarf was split cleanly in two!
The other dwarfs quickly came to their senses,though they couldn't understand what was going on with the prince.
However, the death of their companion, combined with their deep-seated hatred for humans was utterly intolerable for them,even if the prince in front of them had a terrifyingly powerful Supernatural aura!!
One by one, they drew their golden special weapons.
The battle broke out instantly!
From a distance, Rock, who was observing the battle, suddenly shook his head and muttered, "What a pity."
The dwarves' special weapons are indeed very powerful,even the devil used them as his trump card. When the devil attacked Rock, he used a similar weapon. It was powerful enough to damage even Rock's Dark Knight armor, which is said to be capable of withstanding armor-piercing bullets.
Unfortunately, the limitations of these weapons were also obvious. These dwarves have limited wisdom,even if they can make a special musket, it can only fire single shot. No matter how powerful it is, it cannot fire continuously.
Moreover, three of the seven dwarfs have already fallen,now against the furious prince, it is a completely one-sided massacre.
Finally, the battle was over. All the dwarves had fallen to the ground, and the whole area was filled with a faint smell of blood.
The prince, however, was not unscathed either,a shot had pierced his abdomen, leaving him injured.
Fortunately, thanks to the prince's incredible resilience, the wound was not fatal, and he managed to endure it for the time being.
Covering the wound with one hand, the prince strode towards the flower bed. Looking at Snow White in the middle of the flower bed,he felt heartbroken.
Such a beautiful lady, it's a pity to be killed by a group of ugly little monsters.
Damn it, damn ugly monsters, I really want to kill them again.
"Oh god! My daughter!"
A hysterical wail of pain suddenly came from behind,and an old figure stumbled forward, throwing herself onto Snow White's body, sobbing uncontrollably.
He immediately recognized the other person's identity. She was the old lady he had met before, the old lady who could have become a"family".
As for why she appeared here, the prince could guess that she was probably worried that he might not be able to save her daughter, so she followed to see the situation.
After the old lady cried for a while, the prince comforted her.
"Old lady, don't be sad."
Her sobs eventually subsided,not because the prince's words were particularly consoling, but perhaps because she had already braced herself for this moment.
Turning back to take a look at the dwarf's body, her eyes showed materialized hatred
"Damn monsters," she spat. "They deserved to die! They deserved it!"
After a moment, she turned back to the prince. Her expression softened, and she spoke with genuine gratitude.
"Thank you so much," she said sincerely.
It was only at this moment that the old lady seemed to notice the prince's injury. She quickly reached into an old but clean package she carried and retrieved some medicine.
"Here, use these medicines first to stop the bleeding."
The prince did not object. Although he could endure the pain, who would willingly continue bleeding if there was a way to stop it?
"Hey, this medicine is incredible. I feel warm immediately."
But his relief was short-lived.
"Wait… wait! Why do I feel hotter and hotter? And why is it becoming more painful?"
The prince finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately looked up at the old lady. However, what greeted him was white powder blowing into his face.
These white powders seemed to have terrible corrosiveness and instantly began to erode the prince's face,he immediately covered his face and roared in pain.
At that exact moment, a terrifying sword strike descended, enveloped in a fierce wind and immense power.
Boom!!!
The ground shook violently, and the impact created a shockwave that rippled through the air, shaking nearby leaves away.
Looking at the prince, with his face severely injured and enduring the effects of the corrosive poison, yet still managing to block his sword at the critical moment, Rock couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"As expected of a senior apprentice, you can still put up an effective resistance at this time."
"What a pity, you still has to die!"
Instantly, a terrifying heat surged from the sword as it descended once again.
After enduring a series of heavy blows, the prince's combat abilities seemed to be significantly diminished. Even with the strength of a senior apprentice, he still could not withstand the relentless onslaught of the Dark Knight at full power. After just three strikes, the prince's defenses gave way. The molten sword, radiating unbearable heat, cleaved through the prince's weapon with an overwhelming force and sliced him in half with a single strike.
As Rock gazed at the lifeless body of the prince, he waved his hand and absorbed another Supernatural Seed. Without hesitation, he turned and walked toward the corpses of the dwarves. After a brief moment, the third Supernatural Seed was fully formed.
The queen, who had already returned to her original appearance, looked at Snow White who was lying on the flower bed,and said,"Master, do you want to kill her too?"
Rock fell silent. To be honest, he was a little tempted. The Supernatural seed in Snow White must be extraordinary . Maybe it could even be comparable to the devil and reach rare quality.
But, as he said earlier, Snow White is too mysterious. No one knows what the consequences will be if Snow White is killed.
Suddenly, Rock seemed to have thought of something and decisively retracted his sword.
"Let's go back to the palace. I suddenly had a very bold idea."
Whether Snow White can be killed or not, and what the consequences will be, can actually be tested.
The method of testing is the magic mirror. There is a mirror world in the magic mirror. Since the devil can find all the answers in the real world through that special mirror world, then obviously, the related characters must also exist there.
Moreover, just three Supernatural seeds cannot satisfy Rock.
