Logically speaking, as a Sequence Six from the Ethereal Emblem, even if his skills have not yet reached their peak, he shouldn't be defeated so easily.

But when he faced the Crimson Church, he was almost effortlessly crushed.

The cause was an ambush by an exceptionally powerful Sequence Five.

Yes.

A Sequence Five attacking a Sequence Six, and even resorting to a sneak attack.

However, he didn't know at the time that the person who attacked him and the one who stole Rephya's Holy Bone were the same person.

The Holy Bone Thief had previously made moves in simulations.

But always when he wasn't present.

Even in the simulation where Senior Sister Fufu was heavily injured, the attack occurred when he and Sister Fufu were separated.

By the time he realized Fufu was in danger and rushed over, the attacker didn't even bother to finish the job and simply fled.

It was absurd.

Never seen such a cowardly Sequence Five.

Thanks to such tactics, he still hasn't faced the opponent directly.

Each time, he only saw a golden light flashing away from the battlefield.

It wasn't until this time that he finally saw the person's true face.

Since that's the case...

It's time to settle both new and old grievances.

The Thunderous Battle Halberd was summoned in response, appearing in his hand.

"You think you can fight me?"

The thief surrounded by Divine Power watched Chloe from the sky.

The battle halberd spun in Chloe's hand, lightning enveloping him, and in an instant, turning into a rapid lightning attack toward the thief.

A glint of cold light flashed in the thief's eyes.

The shield wall formed by Divine Power held back the roaring Filthy Thunder.

With a wave of his hand, a red-gold giant sword appeared in the sky, like a towering mountain, striking down upon Chloe.

Chloe shielded Rephya behind him.

Amidst the roar.

The ground half a meter around Chloe and Rephya began to crack under the impact.

The Filthy Thunder spread uncontrollably, distorting the impact of the Holy Greatsword.

Chloe frowned.

Such powerful strength.

And... the Filthy Thunder seemed unable to suppress the opponent.

His power from the Holy Bone was being countered.

What an absurdity.

The Holy Bone was originally his strength.

But now, he couldn't block it.

Because even though the Filthy Thunder belonged to Thunder Power, its essence still carried Abyssal Power from his time as the Demon Prince.

When against others, it's fine.

But against the Holy Bone.

The high corrosive nature imparted by the Abyssal Power to the Filthy Thunder became the reason it was torn apart.

Even being blocked now was a result of interference from Thunder Power.

"Troublesome opponent." Chloe said softly, "Rephya, take out the banner."

"Oh."

Rephya wasn't sure what role she could play in such a battle.

But she still took out the banner and said:

"Senior, I should..."

However, before she could finish saying "do what," a cold murmur came from the sky:

"As a Sequence Six, to block this strike, you are indeed strong, so..."

In the next moment.

A holy giant sword appeared in the sky again, mercilessly descending with a more powerful impact.

The lament of the Filthy Thunder echoed.

The barrier fiercely defending the two shattered instantly.

A warm sensation spilled onto Rephya's face.

She absentmindedly touched her cheek, finding her palm stained with spreading crimson blood.

But she felt no pain.

Because it wasn't her blood.

She looked up at the towering Holy Giant Sword being firmly intercepted by Chloe's battle halberd before her.

The usually awe-inspiring Filthy Thunder flickered and was shattered repeatedly on the battle halberd.

That monumental giant sword was intercepted by him.

But without the Filthy Thunder's suppression, all he had was Titan's titanic strength.

"Rephya, fall back."

Chloe's voice was calm, as if he wasn't the one injured.

The thief ignored the conversation between the two, continuing to project Divine Power spanning the heavens.

Undoubtedly, he too was the strongest among legends.

Even more, after obtaining the blessing of the Holy Bone, he had a faint presence of a demigod.

"I didn't expect to find such a genius in the mortal world, but unfortunately, this is not your stage."

The Holy Bone Thief's face was cold, and his purpose here was singular:

"But, you probably haven't seen the Holy Bone in its full glory yet."

Red-golden radiance spread, with faint shadows flickering behind him.

Chloe said nothing, simply standing protectively before Rephya.

"Senior, run."

"Xiaolu, shut up."

"Run, your power essence is countered by the Holy Bone."

"I know."

Chloe said nothing more.

Just stood protectively in front of Rephya.

Amid the roaring, something on him began to gradually shatter.

"Oh? A technique that merges Titan Divine Power with Star Realm Armor? I see, a disciple of the War Ghost."

The thief looked down at Chloe who was standing up again.

His bare upper body was streaming with blood, but his robust vitality healed his wounds with each breath.

The armor of the Star Realm Armor had been torn at some point.

A power like a god and a demon surged skyward.

Chloe entered the second phase of his runaway state.

The runaway power faintly broke through the limits of Sequence Six, climbing to Sequence Five.

The Holy Bone Thief sighed and said:

"Fighting with you would probably be interesting, but I have other targets now. Lord Anz, take action."

"Yes, Holy Son."

The next moment, a deep and filthy power permeated the entire area.

Heart Image World·Dark Heaven unfolded.

Twisted shadows grasped Chloe, engulfing him within.

"Senior!"

Rephya exclaimed in a panic.

"Rephya, remember what I taught you, don't hold it back."

The suction from the Heart Image World grew stronger, this was the true power of a Demigod.

He was almost unable to resist.

He looked up at the thief in the sky.

In the next moment.

The Dawn Divine Bow fell into his palm.

Water Elements converged.

The Source of Power beneath the Pure White Marsh, under the draw of the Child of the Ocean talent, transformed into a crystalline giant sword.

Drawing the bow like a full moon.

In the roar.

The thief's arm was directly blasted off.

"Rephya, don't forget..."

Before Chloe could finish, he was completely engulfed by the Heart Image World.

Rephya stared blankly at the scene before her.

She raised her head.

The bastard who stole her power spanned across the sky.

Senior, what are you talking about?

Me, fight a Legend?

I'm just Sequence Nine!

Rephya was about to cry.

She didn't notice that the Battle Banner was always wrapped in her hands.

And...

The sword in her hand, the blade always pointed at the opponent.

"So scary~ sob sob~ why do I have to go through this."

Her cries were endless.

However, the enemy gave her no time to think.

The thief waved his hand, and Divine Power condensed into a roaring beast tearing towards Rephya.

There was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

To die by her own power, this sacrifice surely could die without regrets.

But...

The next moment.

His heart suddenly thumped.

A strange cracking sound echoed.

The roaring Divine Power was pierced through.

Rephya's eyes were vacant as she slowly raised her head.

The Earth Divine Rune spread over her body.

Divine Power gently flowed.

"Why~"

"Why force me."

Amidst the rumbling, twisted shockwaves tore the void.

The Holy Bone Thief spat out a mouthful of blood.

In disbelief, he lowered his head, only to find that on his healing body, suddenly half of the flesh was again missing.

The next moment.

He saw a shadow approaching him.

Realizing something was wrong, he was about to retreat, but a slender hand suddenly clasped his neck.

In shock and anger, he saw a pair of calm and indifferent eyes:

"Stolen Divine Power is never true Holy Bone, fake is fake."

The Holy Bone Thief bewilderedly lowered his head.

At some point.

The Pure White Marsh was filled with mountains.

The mountain peaks, like protruding spikes, silently burst from the ground, reaching toward the sky.

And then...

Crushed his body into powder.

"How is this possible."

But in the next moment.

The world in his eyes spun violently.

He saw only the upper half of his body impaled on the protruding stone spike.

But on that body, there was no longer a head.

It was then he realized one thing.

"I... dead?"

Thunk.

The head fell to the ground.

In the thief's final moments, only two words surfaced in his mind.

"Monster."

Simultaneously.

In the Heart Image World.

Feeling the commotion outside gradually calming, Chloe then quietly turned his gaze to the Demigod.

From the beginning, as he was pulled into the Heart Image World, this person had not taken any further action.

It was as if he had already completed his mission.

Until the Holy Bone Thief's death, he revealed a slight smile.

"Finally reached this step." He lifted his head to look at Chloe, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Long time no see, Spear Hero."

The crimson-gold of the Holy Bone spread across the Demigod.

After the Holy Bone Thief's death, the Holy Bone Talent actually transferred to this person.

Looking at that familiar smile, Chloe, after a moment, also showed a cruel smile:

"So it was you..."
