"I'll handle these guys."
Everyone looked at Qi Yan.
"Mr. Qi Yan… you…"
The King looked at Qi Yan with some surprise. There was truly too little information about Qi Yan, but the King's impression was that Qi Yan was at most an S-Class Mage, comparable to a Nine-Star Swordsman.
During this quest, Miss Erza was the primary leader.
Now, Qi Yan actually said he would deal with five Nine-Star Demonic Beasts, which was truly hard to believe.
"I can deal with five Nine-Star Demonic Beasts, but I might not be able to participate in the subsequent battle. Not only will I be unable to protect you, but I might even need you to protect me. At that time, my combat power might be even less than a small soldier's."
Qi Yan looked at the King and said.
Seeing that Qi Yan seemed serious, the King immediately patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi Yan! After you defeat the Nine-Star Demonic Beasts, I will protect your safety even if it costs me my life!"
The other four Demonic Beasts would be dealt with by the other four Nine-Star Swordsmen. The most troublesome ones were these five Nine-Star Demonic Beasts. He didn't know what powerful move Qi Yan had to eliminate Nine-Star Demonic Beasts, but it seemed it would come at a great cost.
Even if he couldn't eliminate all five Nine-Star Demonic Beasts, as long as two or three were eliminated, the Kingdom of Sobeya's strength would surely secure victory.
Qi Yan nodded, then stepped to the edge of the city wall.
"Full Take Over!!! Ulquiorra Cifer!!!"
As Qi Yan spoke, his body began to change.
His original black clothes transformed into a high-collared, long-sleeved jacket with a white front and black back. His lower body was a white kimono-style skirt-pant, secured with a wide black sash. A Zanpakuto was tucked into the sash, and he wore black socks and white shoes.
His skin became slightly pale, his eyes turned green, and green tear marks appeared beneath his eyes. The left side of his head was covered by a white, horned helmet.
After Qi Yan's transformation, the King immediately felt a powerful pressure emanating from him.
"So strong!"
Seeing Qi Yan in this form, the King understood why Qi Yan could undertake S-Class Quests with Erza.
He knew Qi Yan's magic was Take Over Magic, but he hadn't expected such a significant difference between his pre- and post-transformation states.
In his normal state, Qi Yan appeared unremarkable, at most a handsome young man.
But after transforming, this oppressive feeling was in no way weaker than that of the Nine-Star Demonic Beasts.
But could this truly defeat five Nine-Star Demonic Beasts?
Qi Yan's transformation did not stop. He knew he could handle one or two Nine-Star Demonic Beasts without much trouble, but five was somewhat beyond his current capability.
If these five Demonic Beasts broke through, the destruction caused would be immeasurable.
Qi Yan slowly drew his sword, chanting softly, "Enclose! black-winged great demon!"
"Om—————!!!"
A black spiritual pressure from Qi Yan shot straight into the sky.
The clear, cloudless sky instantly became overcast, and the entire world darkened.
Immediately after, a large amount of black raindrops fell from the sky.
This commotion instantly attracted the attention of all people and Demonic Beasts.
"Black rain!"
Everyone was very confused to see the black rain.
The black downpour struck their faces and bodies, but there was no wet sensation; the black rainwater dispersed upon contact.
"No… this isn't real rain… this is liquefied magic power!!!"
Soon, the anomaly disappeared, and the sky returned to normal.
Qi Yan's appearance changed once again at this moment.
His clothes became a white, long, one-piece robe, he wore a white helmet with two horns, his black hair grew longer, the tear marks on his face became deeper, and most conspicuously, a pair of huge, black, bat-like wings, resembling a demon's, appeared behind Qi Yan.
This form was Ulquiorra's state after his first Resurrección.
At this moment, a terrifying aura emanated from Qi Yan.
Everyone nearby, including the Nine-Star Swordsman King, felt extremely suppressed, their bodies almost involuntarily trembling, as if facing a terrifying monster.
"Is this… Qi Yan?!"
Erza also looked at Qi Yan's current appearance with some uncertainty; it was her first time seeing Qi Yan use Take Over Magic to transform.
Qi Yan didn't waste any words. The time he could maintain this state was extremely short. For his bonus and for the quest, he had to eliminate all five Nine-Star Demonic Beasts within this time.
"Chirp chirp—————!!!"
The Nine-Star Demonic Beast, Three-Headed Cold Bird, let out a cry, spread its wings, and flew towards the city wall. As it flew, the cold air it spewed from its mouth froze everything it touched.
"Ugh ah ah ah ah!"
"Wah ah ah ah ah!"… Many Swordsmen, seeing this, scattered in terror, but their escape speed could not match the speed of the cold air, and in an instant, they were enveloped by the cold air and frozen into ice sculptures.
Qi Yan looked at the flying Three-Headed Cold Bird and said faintly, "Let's start with you!"
"Moonlight Sword!"
Whoosh———!
Qi Yan opened his right hand, and a spiritual long spear emitting a cyan light appeared in his hand.
Qi Yan stepped forward with his left foot, adopting a throwing posture.
"Go!"
The next second, Qi Yan threw the Moonlight Sword in his hand directly at the Three-Headed Cold Bird.
Whoosh—————!!!
The Moonlight Sword shot towards the Three-Headed Cold Bird at extreme speed.
The Three-Headed Cold Bird's three heads and six eyes could observe all directions; no movement could escape its gaze, and Qi Yan's throwing of the Moonlight Sword naturally couldn't hide from it.
The Three-Headed Cold Bird immediately opened its large mouth, spewing a breath of cold air, intending to freeze the Moonlight Sword.
But it underestimated the Moonlight Sword too much.
Bang—————!
The Moonlight Sword passed directly through the cold air.
Pfft—————!!!
The Moonlight Sword pierced through the Three-Headed Cold Bird's body.
"Chirp chirp——————!!!"
The Three-Headed Cold Bird's three heads opened their three large mouths and wailed in pain simultaneously. This wail made everyone feel a tremor in their hearts.
Qi Yan softly chanted, "Explode—!"
Boom—————!!!
The spiritual Moonlight Sword was instantly detonated.
A terrifying explosion impact erupted in mid-air, emitting a blue spherical light that rapidly spread outwards.
"Ugh ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Wah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"… Everyone and the Demonic Beasts below all lost their footing. Many people and Demonic Beasts were even directly sent flying by this impact. Even those on the city wall had to exert all their strength to steady themselves.
After a while, the impact of the explosion subsided, and the Three-Headed Cold Bird was no longer visible in the sky.
On the ground, three heads, not yet completely pulverized, appeared.
"The Three-Headed Cold Bird… is dead?!!!"
