Chapter 280 Chapter 74 Vicena’s Whereabouts
“Hodrea… I haven’t heard that name in a very long time. I didn’t expect anyone to still remember.”
The young swordsman opposite them sheathed a pitch-black greatsword, his gaze shifting to reflect in the Fran Greatsword. His husky voice sounded like he was talking to himself, without looking at anyone.
A seemingly young knight pushed himself up from the ground, supporting himself with his sword. The indifference of Hodrea was taken as a provocation by him. After the shock on his face, he became filled with rage, and the sword he had drawn erupted with white, incandescent light.
“Don’t think we’re afraid of you just because you’re that traitor! Hodrea, legend says you were corrupted by the abyss, and I can’t believe you’ve fallen to the point of slaughtering innocent civilians here!”
“Andre!” Chrisis called out urgently, trying to stop him.
Hodrea slightly raised his eyes. A chaotic, yet seemingly indifferent and decadent aura was displayed to everyone’s sight. Suddenly, the blazing white light ignited on the knight’s sword seemed to suffocate, being directly crushed. Then, a massive impact heavily struck the approaching knight.
Not only him, but all the armored knights who had gotten up around them were once again sent flying tens of meters away. Even Chrisis’s cheek suddenly turned pale, the divine art shield condensed in front of her was shattered, and her body was also thrown away.
Miss Verafia raised her pure white little hand, and the invisible fire condensed in the air blocked the impact caused by the swordsman raising his pupils, and then caught Chrisis who was thrown over. The rippling flames burned the power she released.
“Tch, this guy, he can’t beat me, so he takes his anger out on these little ones… Is he one of your human powerhouses? That’s too disgraceful! Hmm, don’t you think so, Sister?”
Miss Verafia raised her delicate face, looking at Chrisis, who had fallen to the ground after being blocked by her. Her melodious voice was like the singing of Orioles.
The silver-robed nun’s face was still pale, clearly still quite startled. She managed to show a faint smile on her face, but the anxious look in her eyes betrayed her state of mind.
“Are you Miss Verafia, the one young master mentioned? Thank you just now, but could you please go and save the others?”
“It seems you’re quite familiar with this guy Ig, no wonder he looked like he was about to be scared to death just now.”
Miss Verafia lightly raised her eyes, resting her chin on her little hand, and looked at the earnest nun in front of her.
The other party didn’t seem very old, perhaps only a little older than Ig. She wore a very formal and dignified nun’s robe. Apart from a jade pendant of emerald green, she was not much different from the nuns she had seen in the Church a hundred years ago.
Chrisis saw that the girl in front of her was just looking at her, and the expression on her face became more anxious. However, before she could ask again, the girl’s bright eyes lifted, she stuck out her tongue, and then raised her delicate little face and smiled at her.
“You don’t need to ask me for this. Although this swordsman you call Hodrea can’t beat me, if he really wants to kill you all, I won’t be able to stop him. However, look, these knights you brought are fine.”
Chrisis quickly shifted her gaze. The swordsman with messy gray hair and old clothes stood in place, his gray pupils still showing no emotion, as if he were indifferently watching unrelated matters.
And although the dozen or so knights around were all knocked to the ground and unable to support themselves, they did not seem to have any serious injuries.
“Hodrea! You degenerate!”
Knight “Andre,” holding his injured arm, got up from the ground, grabbing his sword, and glared at the swordsman standing in the darkness, “Even if you kill us all, the crimes you have committed here, not only Lord Marquis, but you will surely be hunted by all knights of sacred light!”
“I’m not interested in killing you. As for the matter of this village…”
A flat voice came from the silent swordsman under the black robes. He shifted his gaze from the greatsword in his hand and paused when he saw the golden-haired girl, who was the most conspicuous to him.
When Miss Verafia saw Hodrea’s gaze land on her, she immediately became unhappy, pouting her lips. Her big eyes glared fiercely, as if to say, “Am I scared of you?”
When Hodrea had just landed here, he heard Miss Verafia loudly shouting his crimes, and then angrily rushed over. However, Hodrea could clearly feel that the girl was more interested in having fun.
“…Whether you think I’m responsible for this village, I don’t care. However, I want to say that if you continue to bother me, hmph, you might really miss their decisive battle.”
“What did you say!”
Knight Andre was furious. Then Dofiraia’s ice-blue eyes lifted. As if sensing something from his words, her expression changed, and she quickly ran forward, “What you’re saying, could it be about Teacher Vicena!”
Dofiraia, who had pure magic power and a powerful aura but looked like a beautiful young girl, had already attracted the attention of many knights. When her voice came out, it made almost everyone show an astonished expression.
Vicena, the head mage of the Peka Royal Court, the “First Mage,” her name was far more renowned in Peka than ordinary Duke lords. Even in the eyes of Peka’s King, she held an important position.
What shocked these church knights was not only that the girl in front of them called Vicena her teacher, but also that, judging from their conversation, this nearly wiped-out village actually involved a battle at the level of the head mage!
However, Hodrea paid no attention to Dofiraia’s anxious inquiry. His decadent eyes finally fell on the black-haired young man and Miss Verafia not far away. His previously expressionless, as if dusty voice, suddenly became a bit more lively, like a drawn blade edge.
“Miss Verafia… earlier, I remember your words. Let’s meet again next time.”
As the swordsman’s voice fell, he sheathed his greatsword. Around him, extremely dense black airflow instantly surged, erupting from him as the origin and almost instantly submerging the entire night sky!
Miss Verafia quickly raised her slender hand to block, and an instant curtain of fire ignited and stood in front of everyone, erupting with a violent sound with the surging black light rays.
“Hey, do you think I’m afraid of you! Your name is Hodrea, right? Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”
Miss Verafia looked very annoyed, almost jumping up from the ground.
“Miss, can you stop him? Although this village wasn’t his doing, Hodrea must know more information. Also, he must know where Miss Dofi’s teacher is!”
A seemingly urgent young voice came from behind her.
