Chapter 344 - Volume 3
Chapter 123 – Two against One
Brendel looked at Cullens regretfully.
It was true that he was completely suppressed by Veronica’s aura to the point where he could not move, but as Cullens approached him with each step, the Stats Windows on his retina were shuffling at a high speed.
– Character Stats.
– Planeswalker Card.
– Elemental Pool.
– Type.
He stopped at a certain card, then smiled at Cullens. The latter looked puzzled as to why the youth still had the guts to smile, but Veronica immediately sensed something was off:
“What, this boy is— Cullens, retreat!”
She tried to warn him but she was a second too late. A white-golden flaming blade appeared out of thin air and floated in front of Brendel. This was the first time Brendel had ever activated this card.
The unfortunate Cullens who had the misfortunate to face the card stared fearfully at the sudden burst of Elemental power. He was unable to react in time because he never expected that Brendel was able to fight back under Veronica’s suppression.
“Why are you running away? Go and have a proper fight.” Orthlyss was greatly dissatisfied.
“Ser Orthlyss, I don’t mind fighting it out if we’re restricted to our swordsmanship, but the control of her Element Power is far superior compared to mine!” Brendel retreated repeatedly as consecutive thrusts went his way.
“Silly fool, if she tries to use her Element power, just fight back with everything you have. She will have to destroy the entire market first in order to suppress your full strength!”
Brendel blinked a few times.
[Of course! Even though the market has a barrier, it can only hold back two Gold-rankers’ Element powers. The barrier would be destroyed if it goes beyond that.]
That momentary pause nearly caused him to be struck in the face, but the youth managed to recover his senses at the last moment and tilt his head at the last moment. Veronica’s sword missed his cheek.
But the Azure Green that was clad in her aura caused a wound to open up.
Brendel felt a slight wetness spread and his eyes twitched a little along with a nervous smile. Veronica was half amused and exasperated when she saw his cramped expressions. This youth actually dared to lose his concentration right in front of her. Even accomplished sword saints at her level would not be so bold!
Yet this boy still managed to avoid her attack entirely!
Brendel did not know what his opponent was thinking about, but he decided to face Veronica properly after Orthlyss’s reminder.
