Chapter 261
Verafia shook her fair wrists, bone fragments clinking softly against her pale skin. The girl stopped and raised her large, scorching gold eyes to look at the young man’s face, suddenly pouting, “How is it? Do I look good wearing it?”
Ig quickly came to his senses and flatteringly replied, “Of course, with your beauty, Miss, how could anything you wear look bad?”
“Hmph, it’s good that you know what’s good for you!”
The girl’s lips curved slightly, her artistic and exquisite pale face revealing a proud expression, seemingly still enjoying her attendant’s usual flattery.
“However, Miss, did you come to the core of the domain just to get this bone fragment? Could it be…”
“It’s all because of that hateful Necromancer who kicked me out. Hmph, it’s all your fault for chopping him away. Otherwise, I would have taught him a good lesson!”
Verafia’s proud expression on her little face stiffened, her silver teeth grinding, and her eyes glaring at the young man who had suddenly become so tactless and was revealing her shortcomings.
Ig immediately slid to his knees, acting submissive, and the girl’s annoyance quickly dissipated. She smiled again, pouting, “Hmph, but at least I didn’t come back empty-handed. At least, I have a replacement for the bracelet that was stolen.”
After speaking, Verafia flicked back her golden hair, revealing her fair face, and her scorching gold eyes casually swept over the adventurers following behind.
Although most of the adventurers had perished in the first wave of death tides summoned by the Necromancer, and those who remained had endured hardships that could be described as brutal, hundreds still survived, and their strength was considerable.
However, the person who had snatched Verafia’s crystal bracelet was not among them. Perhaps that person had left when Ig’s sword had shattered the domain’s sky dome.
“Just a crystal of that rank, and he could leave the Black-winged Monarch’s domain alone… Although it was just a broken domain, it was still astonishing. Combined with the brand of the Abyss, this person… Pfft, I’m actually a little curious.”
Verafia murmured softly, but her expression remained relaxed. Verafia wasn’t afraid that the person would snatch her things.
Suddenly, Ig’s voice sounded beside her.
“However, Miss, you entered the core of this domain. Did you cause this domain to collapse?”
“Of course not! I am the crystal, how could I deal with an immortal domain, even if he had been dead for a long time.”
Verafia’s heart tightened, and she glanced at the young man in front of her, saying nonchalantly, “The sword in your hand just split this domain, why are you suddenly thinking of me?”
Verafia didn’t want to reveal that she had fought the Black-winged Monarch and was very familiar with him, so she simply used the swordsmanship she had learned before with the sword in Ig’s hand, pushing all the blame onto him.
Ig’s eyes fell on the sword in his embrace. Although the girl had made it very clear, his voice still held some doubt, “You mean Lord Rothel’s sword…”
Oh no, has this guy figured something out?
Verafia blinked her eyes, snatched the sword from his hand with her slender, jade-like fingers, pretended to observe it seriously, and then raised her beautiful big eyes, nodding with great certainty.
“Do you remember, the Black-winged Monarch was once a great enemy of that Rothel. I guess this sword suddenly felt the Black-winged Monarch’s aura, and because of your emotions, it suddenly erupted, and then along the traces Rothel left in the sword, it unleashed the Sword of Destruction and Void Severing! Yes, that’s it!”
Without waiting for Ig to reply, Verafia shoved the “End” back into Ig’s hand. Her golden eyes shone, and her porcelain-white, flawless, exquisite little face suddenly broke into a radiant smile:
“However, this is also good for you! This is equivalent to Rothel personally using this sword through your body, so I don’t have to bother teaching you! How do you feel, Ig?”
Ig was spun around by the girl’s words, and found that this explanation was indeed very reasonable. However, Ig was not stupid. He could clearly see that Verafia was hiding something from him and was unwilling to speak about it.
Of course, Ig would not question Verafia. So the young man tried his best to hide his disappointment and put on a smile, “Lord Rothel’s sword… Miss, you are right, it has indeed benefited me greatly.”
“Hmph, what’s with that expression? It’s not that I didn’t teach you well. It’s clearly your own lack of comprehension…”
Beside his ears, the girl’s scolding sounded like pearls falling onto a silver plate, her beautiful voice like a soaring kite. Ig looked at her puffed-up, flawless jade face and suddenly smiled with relief.
“Miss, we’re almost outside. Let’s go.”
Verafia was stunned. She didn’t expect the young man to be so bold as to act on his own without caring about her feelings, and without even waiting for her reply.
Does this guy know how to deal with me?
Verafia’s scorching gold eyes darted around, but she couldn’t figure out the reason. So she gritted her silver teeth and put on an indignant expression of a lady who had been offended, stomping her shoes on the ground and walking out.
…
Unlike the domain that resembled death, as they stepped onto solid ground, the clear sound of the wind touched their faces.
Ig forcefully opened his eyes. The gray colors of the connected space kept shrinking. The surrounding ground was torn and damaged by the powerful spells that had been suddenly unleashed. Even the residual elemental particles formed intense mana turbulence.
Besides that, there were quite a lot of people gathered.
“Swoosh!”
Particles of light flashed rapidly, and then the girl’s hard-soled short boots firmly landed on the ground, the sound as crisp as piano keys.
“Finally out. I’ll settle the score with you later…”
Miss Verafia seemed to still be holding a grudge against her attendant for disrespecting her just now. The girl reached out to sweep her beautiful hair. Her scorching gold eyes flickered casually, and then a slightly surprised expression appeared on her exquisite little face, “Eh, why are so many people here?”
“After all, when the Black-winged Monarch’s domain suddenly appeared, it would stir the thoughts of more than just those present.”
Suddenly, a deep, mature male voice came over. Verafia’s golden eyes shifted, and Count Lunse, dressed in luxurious robes and exuding a heavy aura, entered her sight.
The middle-aged Count smiled at the girl staring at him, “It’s just that I didn’t expect it to be you two bringing others out. Young Master Ig, and Miss Phoenix, it’s been a while.”
