At this mont, Heidely was very displeased.
On one hand, it was because of the waste that was Belis.
Despite leading the entire Snake group, along with two other group leaders, and having an absolute nurical advantage over the Black Rose family, they even set up traps in advance?! Yet, in the end, they were beaten into a miserable retreat by the Black Rose family’s people?! Even two of the seventh-level group leaders fell?!
This record, to say the least, was humiliating, if not a stain for ages...
If the outside world were to know about this, wouldn’t Sky City lose all its face?
’Not only that, but Belis, this trash low life couldn’t withstand the test and revealed information about Sky City?!’
Belis’s traitorous act undoubtedly enraged Heidely.
Another aspect that displeased Heidely was Xizhi’s response. Although he had anticipated that the Black Rose’s people would not compromise so easily, being so decisively rejected still displeased Heidely.
He, who was accustod to being above millions, detested the feeling of being rejected.
Not to ntion, the one rejecting him was a lowly continental commoner?!
’I am a level 8 divine Swordmaster?! Where did this re seventh-level get the courage to reject ?!’
"Hehe..."
After a cold laugh, Heidely’s hand gradually emitted black corrosive liquid. This liquid, like it had eroding properties, instantly further corroded Xizhi’s body from the wound. The intense pain instantly shocked Xizhi’s brain, and even she, who was sowhat resistant to pain, couldn’t help but show a face of imnse pain, groaning uncontrollably.
Clearly,
Heidely wanted to educate the half-dragon girl who dared to reject him in his own way.
Seeing that the other party did not cry out, Heidely feigned surprise and raised his eyebrows,
"Oh? Not crying? Still able to endure, huh? Impressive. In that case, shall I increase the intensity a bit more?"
Saying so,
Dark glints gradually flickered in Heidely’s eyes.
At that mont,
The people of the Black Rose family would not let Heidely do as he pleased. Although stunned by Heidely’s quick movents at first, the knights who ca to their senses under the command of Sebastian nearby unleashed all their energy and synergistically activated the sword formation. Under the flickering lights of blades and swords, countless terrifying sword energies slashed towards Heidely.
anwhile,
Gazing at the battlefield, the old butler Sebastian clenched his staff and activated the curse he had prepared in advance.
Sebastian had no talent for cultivation.
This, the old butler was well aware of. But to be able to help the family, Sebastian found his own path, which was to cultivate support magic. After decades of practice, Sebastian’s magic had achieved great success.
With the aid of his magic, the montum of the Black Rose mbers surged even further, and their swords were even imbued with a layer of berserk red light.
The knights released their power without reservation, combined with the family’s sword formation and Sebastian’s support, they suddenly unleashed a terrifying power that shook the heavens and the earth.
Even Heidely couldn’t help but frown,
"Ah, such a nuisance..."
The displeased Heidely suddenly withdrew his hand from Xizhi’s abdon! Once again, he subrged into the black mist, evading the Black Rose knights’ slashes and nurous sword energy in an almost ghost-like manner with an extrely twisted posture.
In the end,
This massive counterattack from the Black Rose family did not inflict any substantial damage on Heidely. However, it forced him to retreat several tens of ters. At the sa ti, one of the sword aura also sliced off a strand of Heidely’s hair...
"..."
Glancing at the black hair that fell to the ground, Heidely’s expression darkened instantly.
Although he hadn’t used his full strength, being forced back by a group of ants, and even having a strand of hair cut off? Heidely’s mood plumted like a diving falcon. Biting his lip hard, the black-haired man sneered towards the front.
"If you’re seeking death, don’t bla for being unkind."
As soon as his words fell,
Heidely turned into a streak of black light and disappeared from everyone’s sight. By the ti the people reacted, Heidely had already silently appeared behind the Black Rose mbers, in front of Sebastian.
"Damn!"
Feeling a bad feeling, Sebastian hurriedly raised his hand trying to activate the defensive magic array within his ring. Unfortunately, Heidely didn’t plan to give him that chance, with a fierce kick to the old butler’s chest, directly shattering the magical aura around him, sending him flying and crashing into a carriage nearby, breaking it into pieces.
Seeing this, the remaining Black Rose knights quickly initiated the sword formation, carrying a towering montum as they slashed towards Heidely.
"Hmph~"
Facing such an attack, Heidely sneered, easily dodging the knights’ slashes with the speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye under the cover of black mist, and cruelly swung his claws. In an instant, blood splattered, armors shattered! Along with the collapse of the sword formation, Black Rose knights flew back or fell to the ground, unconscious or dead under Heidely’s assault.
Not only did he dismantle the sword formation with his bare hands, but the Nightingale girls’ ambush was also easily thwarted by Heidely, who brutally crushed a maid’s wrist into mush and rcilessly allowed the black mist to corrode the wound.
"AAAAHHHHH!!!"
In an instant, under the stimulus of intense pain, the girl let out a heart-wrenching howl.
But Heidely showed no pity, the lower-class’s screams only satisfied his pathological desire to torture, perfectly venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Hehe, just like that, scream so more~... Huh?!"
However,
As his gaze shifted, Heidely’s laughter abruptly stopped, his attention unintentionally caught by a pool of blood not far away... There, where a half-dragon girl should have been lying, but now there was no one?
’Where did she go?’
’Disappeared?!’
’Hmm? Hehe, so it’s like this...’
With a disdainful sneer, Heidely abruptly raised his head to look up at the sky above him without any warning. What caught his eye was Xizhi, who had already transford into her half-dragon form and had masked her presence to enter assassination mode. Caught off-guard by such a stare, Xizhi’s expression changed dramatically, seemingly surprised that her plan had been deciphered by the opponent.
Indeed,
As the steward of Sky City and a trusted confidant of Madam Lisa, Heidely possesses a wealth of combat experience. Upon noticing Xizhi’s disappearance, the plan of the Black Rose mbers was seen through by him.
’First pretending to be incapacitated, then using these ants’ attacks to draw my attention, and taking the opportunity to mask their presence for a sneak attack?’
’What use are such lowly assassin tactics?’
Looking at Xizhi with a hint of ’sympathy,’ Heidely shook his head in feigned disappointnt.
However,
’A level 7 and a group of level 6 small fries managed to put up this much of a fight? That’s impressive in its own right. Since that’s the case, I might as well put in a bit more effort.’
The next instant, under Xizhi’s horrified gaze, Heidely kicked away the maid who was used as bait for the assassination, and drew his black blade filled with cursed power from his waist.
——"Sever!"——
Pff!!
In an instant,
Blood scattered everywhere, staining Heidely’s black soft armor half-red, half-black. One of Xizhi’s dragon wings was cut off under the slash, and she crashed to the ground, creating a crater with a radius of five ters. With the continuous loss of blood and energy, along with the erosion of the curse, Xizhi was forced to revert from her dragon form and lay powerless in the crater, unable to resist any further.
And with Xizhi’s defeat, the remaining few Black Rose knights and Nightingale assassins were effortlessly struck down by Heidely’s black light, unable to get up.
"Now, it’s finally quiet."
Looking at his bloody masterpiece, Heidely smiled in pleasure.
Then, Heidely slowly turned around and walked step by step towards the last Black Rose maid nearby. Heidely, for once, showed a rare bit of interest in this maid. It’s worth noting that while all mbers of the Black Rose were desperately fighting him, she alone stood silently trembling on the side.
Although her level 4 strength didn’t even qualify her to approach him, her peculiar behavior still attracted Heidely’s attention.
Moreover,
’Those Black Rose knights, seed to have been protecting her?’
’Or rather…’
’Protecting the box in her hands?’
’What treasures could be inside? Sothing the Black Rose family values so much?’
Raising an eyebrow and driven by curiosity, Heidely didn’t rush to take the person back to Sky City, but instead walked up to the blue-haired maid and effortlessly snatched the beautifully crafted cubic box made of gold and diamonds from her hands. After the box was taken, the blue-haired girl simply collapsed to the ground, kneeling.
Heidely couldn’t care less about this terrified, weak girl; after all, she couldn’t possibly harm him.
His attention was entirely focused on the box.
"What treasure lies within?"
Heidely lifted his knife and cautiously cut through the covering layer of the box, opening it with a hint of eagerness.
Then,
The butler of Sky City was baffled as he furrowed his brows.
"?!"
"Is this a.... Flowers??"
