Chapter sixty-five chapter fifty-eight A Smile (Part 2)
“Young Master Ig, I think you must really hate this enchantress who treated the noble you like a servant… If you also consider me a friend, I would be very glad to share her essence blood and origin with you.”
Ig’s finger, gripping the sword hilt, suddenly tightened, and the girl’s slightly trembling gaze fixed on him, while Ig also looked at Ronald, who had a confident smile on his face.
The essence blood and origin of a pure-blooded phoenix, Ig knew how precious it was: it was enough to transform someone with poor talent, leading them straight to Saint Rank. Moreover, Verafia had indeed killed Lord Lothel…
The End in his hand was gripped tightly, and suddenly taken away by Ig.
Ig raised his pair of azure blue eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and began to move towards Ronald, who was not far away, step by step.
Faced with the temptation of phoenix essence blood, nothing else should matter.
The Paladin revealed a satisfied smile.
Ronald never wanted to fight with Ig.
Although the other party’s strength was insignificant in his eyes, his background as a Saint Rank expert and a Marquis Lord was enough to make everyone hesitate.
Even now, he did not want to provoke a renowned and powerful Sword Saint.
“Young Master Ig, I’m very happy that you consider me a friend. Rest assured, my promise…”
Ronald extended his hand, preparing to shake hands with the youth who had arrived before him. Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, as if he had seen something incredible.
A silver gleam flashed.
A brilliant smile appeared on Ig’s raised face. In his hand, the tightly held silver dagger viciously stabbed into the youth’s abdomen before him!
“Ronald, you’re not worthy to be called my friend!”
The bright silver dagger gathered all the youth’s strength, flashing with cold light as it stabbed down. Ronald’s expression changed drastically; he had never expected the other party to attack him so suddenly.
It wasn’t that Ronald believed Ig, but rather that Ronald was confident that with the vast gap in strength between the youth and himself, even if he stood there and let Ig attack, not even a trace of his defense could be broken.
Even the most foolish person would never do something as foolish as a moth flying into a flame… let alone a path to certain death!
The dagger stabbed down with a fierce whistling sound. Before the dagger’s tip, the Paladin’s protective Dou Qi erupted, and at the moment of being stabbed, it exploded with a violent impact.
Ig held onto the dagger tightly, but under the rebound force that he absolutely could not withstand, the youth “splashed” out a mouthful of blood, was sent flying several meters away, and fell heavily. In the unbearable pain, his consciousness went blank.
“Are you showing me your determination? How laughable… for some so-called Young Lady?”
Ronald turned his face to look at the other party and shook his head as he murmured.
In an instant, he understood the reason for Ig’s action.
this pitiable and weak youth was using his fragile life to display his so-called determination, and nothing else.
If Ronald hadn’t instinctively suppressed the intensity of his Dou Qi just now, even the rebound force would have completely pulverized the internal organs of Ig, who was merely Bronze Rank at that time.
Ronald truly did not want to kill Ig and bear the hatred of a Saint Rank expert for no reason, but since the other party insisted on it, Ronald had no choice but to stop holding back!
With his thoughts clear, Ronald no longer maintained the smile on his face. The Paladin gripped his sword with one hand and swung down a blazing golden sword Qi at Ig!
“Lord Ronald!”
Grisia, the Half-elf who was being held back by her teammates, cried out in surprise.
“Flame Barrier, condense!”
Suddenly, a voice that Ronald had not expected at all appeared in the air. Blazing fire instantly ignited in mid-air, and the rapidly condensing shield blocked the sword Qi he swung down, then moved the youth dozens of meters away into thin air.
Ronald had no time to continue attacking the youth. He turned his face, shocked, to look at the girl who should have been completely suppressed.
In mid-air, the air seemed to be dyed with fire, and the temperature rapidly increased.
The black-robed Mage Ibarwen’s face also showed alarm. In his eyes, the phoenix girl, who had already exhausted her strength and was completely suppressed, slowly stood up her delicate body. Around her, fiery red and blazing gold flames burned, coloring the space.
The heat emanating from the flames made even his Spatial Magic, which he had expended a third of his magic power to cast, difficult to withstand. It even showed countless fine cracks, as if it would shatter completely the next moment.
“Ain, hurry and help me!”
Mage Ibarwen, disregarding his image, poured all his magic power into his staff and shouted loudly.
“How dare you lay hands on my attendant… This young lady is truly angry!”
The girl’s clear yet angry voice appeared in the momentarily silent air, as if filled with the immense rage in her small chest.
Verafia slowly stood up. The golden flames burning around her body became even more brilliant and dazzling. Although the girl’s aura did not change in the slightest, everyone’s eyes showed unconcealed fear.
A wisp of flame’s luster overflowing from the spatial rift made them feel an inscrutable noble will, esteemed majesty, and cold, icy killing intent!
Verafia suddenly raised her delicate, snow-white palm. Her lightly glowing golden eyes shone. The spatial spells that had been restraining and suppressing her instantly produced countless huge cracks, completely collapsing, and unleashing the terrifying pressure they had been bearing onto everyone present!
The forced maintenance of the magic spell shattering caused the Mage’s face to turn pale. He “wah”ed and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
And opposite him, in the girl’s dazzling golden sun-like eyes, only coldness remained. The girl was not prepared to give her enemies any respite. Her delicate, fair, and slender right hand suddenly lifted. On her flawless, jade-like lotus arm, brilliant golden flames flowed like water, and roaring blazing flames instantly poured out!
The terrifying golden flames almost submerged the color of the entire space!
“Ibarwen, retreat quickly!”
Swordsman Ain shouted in terror, hastily positioning himself in front of the Mage.
The black-robed Swordsman swung his long sword with all his might, pouring all the Dou Qi and strength in his body into releasing his most powerful defensive martial skill, blocking the brilliant and magnificent, yet dangerous, golden flames.
The golden flames instantly struck the Swordsman’s defense. The immense impact caused the Swordsman’s face to turn pale instantly, and then he was directly blown back several meters by the explosive impact, a trace of crimson blood flowing from his mouth.
Behind the flames, the girl’s flawless face was reflected in the brilliant golden flame light, making her appear even more beautiful and indifferent.
