Chapter 193 Part 1 – The final moment (9)
When Mephisto displayed his strength, Andesha immediately sought to subdue him by force.
Both were proud people who did not stand down.
Conjuring a Greater Plant Creature was a Druid’s spell of the Eighth Circle. The Tree Shepherd’s variation of this spell distorted its nature greatly, raising its power and size by ten times by overloading it with her Mana and her staff’s powers. The Greater Plant Wyrm was now as powerful as a Warrior who perfected his control over his Element Power.
As the Wyrm’s head reached for Mephisto, part of its body suddenly scattered into countless vines and formed a net to block off all of Mephisto’s escape routes, forcing him to face the monster head-on.
But the Sword Saint of Ashes did not panic and instead lowered his greatsword behind his back. He looked up at the wriggling vine tentacles of the Wyrm’s head, appearing as though it was opening a mouth.
The World of Ashes expanded—
He swung his greatsword.
Brendel suddenly felt worried in his mind. He glanced around, hoping that Scarlett did not come. But the outcome disappointed him, as he quickly spotted the red-haired girl emerging behind Veronica.
He sighed.
[Damn it, you’re giving me trouble, Lady Veronica.]
“Let’s meet up with Lady Veronica,” Faena suggested.
But Brendel immediately grabbed her arm: “Wait, we should take a look at the situation first.”
“What do you mean by looking at the situation. Even your little lover is here, are you going to make her wait?” She looked at him from the corners of her eyes.
Brendel faked a soundless cough when he heard her words: “Tsk. Are you really an aristocrat? The way how you form your words is just nasty. Also, stupid girl, we’re completely hidden and the enemies are out in the open. We will lose our chance to strike their backs if we reveal ourselves.”
Faena took a moment to get what Brendel was planning, but she suddenly realized that she indeed sounded unrefined and blushed: “O-of course I’m one. And I’m not as despicable as you, trying to stab people in the back all the time. Are you even a noble?”
“Are you serious? Stabbing people in the back, poisoning, assassinating, these are all the specialties of the Kirrlutz’s nobles. I think I actually fit your Empire’s values pretty well.”
Faena was at a loss for words and glared at him with clenched teeth.
