Chapter 393 Ambush
Chapter 393 Ambush
As soon as the shadow figure enters Sunset city, it immediately goes toward the highest building in the city. Since there is a deadly epidemic spreading around the city, most of the city’s residents decide to stay at home.This makes the shadow figure able to reach the highest building without anyone noticing. In the blink of an eye, it climbed to the highest point and looked at the desolate city around. It stays on its spot for a while before opening its silver eyes.
Suddenly, an invisible mana wave erupted from its body [3rd Circle – Large Detection]. The invisible mana wave kept spreading and managed to cover the whole city and its surrounding in a few seconds.
At the same time, all the sixth-grade combatants and Angus’s group inside the quarantine area also notice this large-scale spell. Before they could react, a large amount of mana flared up from the shadow figure. *Whoosh*
The shadow figure raises its arm forward and four magic circles appear in front of it parallel to a certain direction. The last magic circle is precisely in front of its smooth and spotless hand. Then, a large amount of mana is gathered at the magic circle in its hand.
A moment later, the magic circle shines brightly and shoots at incredible speed, passing through the other three magic circles [4th Circle – Swift Blast] [3rd Circle – Rapid Empower x 3].
The moment Swift Blast passes through three Rapid Empower, it immediately disappears, breaking the speed of sound. At the same time, Angus, who is stretching his body, takes out his twin sword artifact and defends himself against the sudden appearance of Swift Blast.
*BAAMM* Before anyone could react, Angus had already thrown a few hundred meters back from withstanding the ridiculous fast Swift Blast. Swift Blast itself is an attack spell that is designed for its speed. Combined with three Rapid Empower, it becomes a bizarre attack.
If it is anyone else besides Angus who receives the attack, they will definitely get hit by it and die without knowing. Some seventh-grade combatants may also get injured from this kind of attack.
As Angus withstanding the Swift Blast, his arm breaks under the enormous pressure. Fortunately, he has a sturdy body and rapid regeneration that starts healing his body. In a few moments, Angus finally managed to deflect the Swift Blast to the sky.
At the same time, the shadow figure disappears as soon as it shoots Swift Blast leaving a trace of silver light. A few seconds after Angus deflects the Swift Blast to the sky, a shadow figure appears, charging toward Angus at incredible speed.
Despite the massive distance between the two of them, the shadow figure still managed to keep accelerating toward Angus in just a few seconds.
Before anyone could react, hundreds of small fireballs came out from the shadow figure [4th Circle – Vulcan Shots]. The Vulcan Shots immediately fly towards Angus rapidly.
’Chantless?!!’ thought Jayna while moving towards Angus.
Angus didn’t move from his spot, clapping his hand, and releasing massive fire mana [Flame Armor] [3rd Circle – Fire Barrier]. Since Angus rarely uses Fire Barrier spells, he needs to spend more mana and a little slower to cast the spell.
However, he didn’t have any choice since the Vulcan Shots were coming in every direction simultaneously. Angus couldn’t even use his superb movement skill to dodge them. *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*
”Angus!!” called Jayna worriedly as she keeps ran towards him.
Before the fire and smoke completely subsided, a silver flash arrived at Angus. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* The shadow figure and Angus are trading blows at fast speed. Each of their blows creates a massive airwave around.
A moment later, the shockwave and airwave stopped. As the view cleared, Angus found a dagger near his neck while his clothes were destroyed and his body was full of bruises. His twin sword artifact was already thrown nearby on the ground.
At the same time, the shadow figure reveals her silver hair with a pretty expressionless face. Unlike Angus’s situation, the silver-haired girl didn’t have any injury on her body except Jayna’s sword near her neck and Anna’s half transformed arm near her chest.
Both of them seem ready to end the pretty homunculus in front of them.
”*Sigh* Why couldn’t you just have a normal greeting, Lily?” asked Angus nonchalantly.
”Is that an order, Master Angus?” replied Lily while withdrawing her dagger from Angus’s neck.
Seeing this, Jayna and Anna also withdraw from their hands.
”Like you are going to obey this order.” grumbled Angus.
Lily didn’t reply to Angus’s rambling. Then, the Royal Guard finally arrived at their location along with the sixth-grade knights from the religious group. Since they find the plague is coming from Plargos, they begin to increase their vigilance and security.
Looking at his broken hands, “Jayna, please hold them for a while.” said Angus before disappearing on his spot silently.
Knowing Angus’s intention, Jayna immediately approaches the Royal Guard and the sixth-grade knights.
”Stop!!” said Jayna coldly.
”Fourth Princess, where is young master Victory? Who is this silver-haired girl?” asked the nearby royal guard.
Jayna didn’t reply and only glanced at the talking royal guard coldly.
”Anna, if the bubble guards were talking more, you could burst them.” said Jayna with a soft tone like soothing a crying baby.
”Alright, leave it to Anna!!” replied Anna excitedly.
Hearing this, the royal guards become more gloomy. From the past few days, they know it is impossible to beat the little monster. Despite the vast difference in their grade, Anna is truly a monster. It needs everything for them just to hold Anna’s casual punch.
Ignoring the gloomy royal guard, “Lady Jayna, who is this silver-haired girl?” asked Faron, the sixth-grade knight from Temple of Death.
After coldly staring at the sixth-grade knight for a moment, Jayna reluctantly replied.
”She is Lily.” replied Jayna shortly with a disgusted expression like she was talking to something disgusting.
”Err.. May we know her identity beside her name? ” said Faron while still holding his spear.
Jayna didn’t reply and completely ignored Faron. Seeing this behavior, Faron couldn’t help but be annoyed. He is a full-fledged sixth-grade combatant, yet the girl in front of him dares to ignore and disrespect him.
However, he also couldn’t do anything since the other party was royalty and the Temple of Death couldn’t afford to have any more strife with the Heart Kingdom. Although the Heart Kingdom is in the middle of a war, they are still strong.
On the other hand, because of Angus’s sabotage, the Temple of Death is having quite a hard time maintaining its position as one of the most prominent religious groups in Firuman. It is already a miracle, they didn’t lose their popularity and dismiss some of their branches.
Although Angus is only asked for the Temple of Death’s knowledge, spells, and skills to the Bloody star, it doesn’t mean the Bloody Star will not take other things as well.
Since they practically break into the Temple of Death’s vault, most of the Bloody Star members decide to take some of the souvenirs from it. Some of them even decide to empty the entire vault completely. This put a massive burden on the Temple of Death’s financial state.
Seeing the angry expression of Faron, Anny, the sixth-grade knight of the Karum group, couldn’t help but smile happily. Karum and Temple of Death often clash with each other. This makes the two sixth-grade knights hate each other’s guts.
”Hahaha… I guess that’s what you get from threatening a royalty before.” said Anny, trying to make everyone remember Temple of Death’s blunder.
”Shut up, Anny!!” retorted Faron.
”Hahaha… Anyway, we still have serious matters to do. I am sorry, Lady Jayna. But, could you please explain what’s going on here and where is young master Angus?” asked Anny.
Hearing Anny’s question, Jayna glared at the woman in front of her.
”Why did you seek, Angus?” asked Jayna coldly.
Although it is subtle, everyone could feel a hidden murderous intent in her voice. This makes everyone more confused. All they do is ask, but they keep receiving cold and even hostile responses from Jayna.
What they don’t know is Jayna actually finds that every male is a disgusting creature while every woman who seeks Angus is her enemy, no matter what reason it is.
She changed more drastically after touching Angus’s soul a few days ago. Combined with her pride as Fire Phoenix, she becomes more cold and prideful towards everyone. Not many people know this, but Phoenix is actually one of the most prideful creatures.
If it is not because of her Artic Heart skill, she may burn everyone by blatantly talking to her. In summary, she didn’t like to interact with other people besides Angus and Anna.
Seeing the situation become tenser, Lily decides to step in and clear the misunderstanding. Using her great computerized mind, Lily could quickly notice Jayna’s temperament.
Moreover, she already knows Jayna’s hostility and jealousy towards any woman that tries to get close to Angus. There are even times Lily almost gets melted by her fire just because Jayna doesn’t like how close she is with Angus despite Lily’s assurance.
However, she was also intrigued by Jayna at the same time. Despite her temperament, Jayna will become a completely different person when she is with Angus and Anna. Lily thought Jayna was one of those with personality disorders like what she read about in the books.
