Chapter 111
“You hateful little slut! You dare to trick me, old man!”
The Commander Knight roared and stood up, his massive Dou Qi surging all over his body like a crazy tide, directly crushing down the flames released by the young girl.
Verafia waved her hand, and the magic condensed from nowhere smashed down fiercely.
The shattered flame fragments, with their extremely high temperature, extinguished, splashing onto the Knight’s huge metal armor, making harsh ringing sounds on the metal surface.
The Commander Knight, extremely angry, stretched out his other intact, iron-armored hand towards her, intending to capture this stubborn and hateful girl in one fell swoop! Wherever he passed, all flames were extinguished!
“Disappear!”
“How dare a shameless knight like you bully this young lady! It’s just a mere crystal! Space continuation!”
Verafia yelled angrily, and the staff she pressed down glowed with complex magic sigil markings.
The Commander Knight was shocked. Although he was only half a meter away from the girl opposite him, he could clearly feel that in that instant of magic fluctuation, the distance between him and her had been extended by several meters.
“Space magic? Flashy!”
The Commander Knight roared, and the power of his heavy fist directly erased and tore apart the extended spatial distance, and a fierce gale whistled out.
The girl’s hair, like a brilliant golden sun, fluttered slightly in the fierce wind. Her pair of bright golden pupils seemed to be burning with the same golden flame. Under the illumination of the flame light, the girl’s cold and exquisite beautiful face appeared incredibly magnificent.
“Blazing Flame Storm that burns the void with endless light, heed my call and descend from the Blazing Abyss before me!”
The staff in Verafia’s left hand was a dazzling firelight, and in mid-air, golden flame elements instantly formed a brilliant golden magic array, and then the raging flame storm descended before her staff!
The Commander Knight could not dodge in time, so he roared again, and the terrifying Dou Qi erupted from his armor. He tore apart the flame storm released by the girl with his left fist.
“Eh, it was so easy. But… my magic isn’t just this!”
Verafia showed a slightly surprised expression, sidestepped and retreated. The corner of her crimson skirt fluttered like red rose petals. She waved her hand to summon a shield of flame crystals to block the aftermath of the Commander Knight’s hasty attack, and then suddenly pressed her staff down.
“Sword of the Blazing Abyss, burn with my wrath! Let that brilliant red light split the sky!”
With a clear and cold shout, Verafia drew her staff backward. The flame elements that had just shattered in mid-air instantly condensed into a fiery red Sword of the Blazing Abyss, and she slashed it down towards the Commander Knight who had just broken through the flame storm.
Unlike the swords summoned by ordinary mages, the sword body burning with scorching red flames was adorned with complex and obscure golden markings, giving the flame sword edge not only a fierce aura but also a more dangerous, terrifying temperature that seemed capable of igniting everything!
The Commander Knight’s eyes showed an indescribable shock.
He could clearly see that the magic displayed by the girl opposite him was only limited to the gold rank, and there was a gap of two ranks between them. However, such flames made him feel threatened!
This was even more unbelievable than the spatial magic she had released earlier!
The Sword of the Blazing Abyss, ignited by crimson flames, arrived almost instantly. The Commander Knight, who had just released all his Dou Qi, was caught off guard by the brilliant red sword edge and could not prepare his defense in time. He could only clench his right fist, which had been severely burned by the girl’s scorching golden flames, and punch out!
“Boom!”
The fiery long sword shattered with a roar. The broken embers dimmed and extinguished under the absolute oppressive force, falling to the ground like shattered glass. However, the Commander Knight’s right fist also cracked open, and blood flowed out.
The flame magic at the tip of Verafia’s staff had already condensed again at this moment. The flickering golden flame light faintly illuminated the girl’s cheek.
Verafia pressed the staff, and brilliant golden flames ignited on it. She made a clear and crisp sound amidst the rolling flame aura.
“Flame spirits ignited in the sky, let this unruly usurper be burned in eternal flames!”
…
The Commander Knight blocked the flame attack again with his arm. The street beneath him, already damaged in the previous battle, developed more fine and deep flames in the explosive impact. The extremely high temperature even melted the bricks and stones.
The scorching gale rolled and swept around, and the scorching heat of the flames burned around the firm armor, making the Knight appear somewhat disheveled.
Although Verafia’s attack did not cause much damage to him, the Commander Knight’s eyes, widened under his helmet, were already filled with shock.
Undoubtedly, the quality of the opposite girl’s magic was at best the limit of the gold rank. However, the threat posed by the magic she released far exceeded this.
—It was as if something extremely terrifying was mixed in, causing its level to undergo a qualitative leap, even allowing it to cross two ranks to threaten him, and even suppress him to the point where he could not attack for a time!
Not only that, as a Knight, he was not familiar with spellcasting skills, but it was obvious that in just over ten seconds, the more than ten spells continuously released by the girl, whether in terms of level or quality, undoubtedly belonged to the unusually high-level Secret Rank spells.
Such spells were not something that even mages who had studied spells for decades could easily master. Yet, the girl opposite him released them so quickly, and there were no signs of magic or spiritual power consumption at all!
“Ugh, why isn’t this guy dead yet! How can a crystal be so hard to deal with!”
Verafia angrily swung her staff, and her voice almost made the Commander Knight spit blood in anger.
After all, with his massive rank gap of two levels over the girl opposite him, being suppressed by her for a time had already made him extremely frustrated.
“Girl, don’t push your luck!”
The Commander Knight roared again, smashing the spell released by the girl with his iron fist. The shattered flames brushed past his armor like mercury.
The Commander Knight’s eyes turned blood red with anger, and he unleashed all the offensive momentum he had accumulated from the girl’s previous attacks!
“Talent Blessing: Manniridi’s Wrath! Mountain-Shattering Heavy Fist!”
Following the Knight’s angry shout, the runes of Mithril lit up on his swung right fist, instantly doubling his heavy fist’s power. In the air, it even faintly caused spatial fluctuations!
“Ugh, you’re getting serious! This young lady is also prepared! Barrier of Flames, Surtur’s Flame Wall!”
Verafia shouted, drawing her perfectly white slender hand and releasing the pre-chanted defensive spell.
A wall of flames instantly rose from the ground. When Verafia cast the same spell with all her might half a month ago, it could even delay an attack from a Star Royal Guard for a moment.
At this moment, although she did not unleash her full strength, it could at least delay the Commander Knight’s attack for a moment.
Verafia raised her pupils.
The Knight’s iron fist hit the wall of flames. With a shattering sound like broken glass, the barrier shattered with a bang after only maintaining for half a breath!

ps1: Regarding the male protagonist’s strength, I plan to upgrade him at the end of this volume, but I will give him a temporary small buff later.
ps2: Regarding updates… yes, I haven’t forgotten about the updates I owe, but I’ve been very busy recently and plan to make up for it next month with a daily update of 6K (and get the full attendance bonus from SF).
