Chapter 343 - Volume 3
Chapter 122 – Veronica
“Faena, what’s going on?”
Before Brendel could respond to the girl’s words, another man wearing a black formal attire for nobles walked out from the crowd of centaurs and spoke to her. He looked at the bound girl before his eyes moved to the coughing Rono, then at the sprawling knights on the ground, his facial expressions gradually turning to shock.
Finally, when he raised his head up, he discovered Brendel with his hand still raised. Scarlett and Amandina were a short distance behind him. Without a second word, he drew out his sword and charged towards the youth with a scowl.
Brendel felt a burning sensation from that man’s sword.
[A passive Element? He’s also a Gold-ranker!]
Brendel and Scarlett’s eyebrows twitched. Their Element Powers reacted at the same time, and the air between the three people stagnated— The temperature of the air suddenly dropped, while Scarlett’s halberd had lightning dancing all over it, with the people around feeling their hair raised.
The middle-aged man’s sword did not meet any blades, but a wall of flames that appeared in front of Brendel. He frowned and retreated instead, cautiously assessing the two youths in front of him.
His heart was beating loudly but he did not show his anxiety in the slightest. This was the Druids’ territory, and at least in this place, they would not dare to act rashly.
His words also struck directly at their sore point. Kirrlutz’s cruelty and indifference were why they were harshly criticized amongst the other alliances in the Holy Cathedral of Fire. However, the Kirrlutz Empire held at least half of the Holy Cathedral of Fire’s seven Cardinals’ position throughout the ages and thus held on tightly to their power.
Veronica scoffed coldly once before speaking again: “Having a sharp mouth wouldn’t bring you any advantages. Cullens, teach this person from Aouine a lesson!”
Cullens sensed that Brendel was affected by Veronica’s aura, and he gave a sinister smile. While he could not kill the youth in the Druids’ territory, it would be fine to leave behind hidden injuries to make him permanently wounded. In fact, he was very willing to destroy not just one, but two talented youths from Aouine.
He bowed respectfully to Veronica and pulled out his sword to cut off the tendons in Brendel’s wrists. Scarlett raised his halberd in response to block off the attacking point, but Veronica swept a glance at her, and the red-haired girl felt as though she was bitten by a venomous snake, and the halberd in her hands fell onto the ground with a clatter.
“You shouldn’t have incurred our wrath!” Cullens smiled coldly, his blade nearing Brendel’s hands.
