Throwing several Magic Stones, they used the power of the stones to open the Nef Magic Mirror, and the three of them instantly arrived at a spacious square.
Carl scanned the created illusion, pondering:
A good Nef Magic Mirror can be used dozens of tis, while a bad one breaks after only a few uses. Sotis you just have to use it, which ans there’s a constant stream of buyers. The Andrew family, just by making these mirrors, can earn a fortune... However, the illusions created by the magic mirror truly blur the line between reality and fiction. No wonder their family has remained dominant for hundreds of years.
Gathering his thoughts, he dismissed the distractions and spoke to the two, "First, battle so I can watch."
"Yes!" Gerry respectfully agreed.
Harvey just snorted lightly. His face expressionless, he lifted his Knight Sword and pointed it toward Gerry. "Co on!"
"Okay." Gerry nodded and drew the twin blades at her waist.
Her weapons were not imbued with witchcraft, just ordinary forged items; fortunately, they were still solid and sharp.
"Be careful!"
With a low shout, Gerry charged forward.
She ca from humble beginnings, fighting from a young age in the lower levels of the Magic Forest. To beco a Great Knight, luck played a role, but talent was equally important. Her combat experience was also rich due to many battles.
The twin blades crossed, and the murderous aura suddenly intensified, like a bone-chilling wind rushing at one’s face, sending shivers down the spine.
The first ti Harvey had dueled Gerry, he was startled by the murderous aura exuding from her and had responded in a panic.
Now...
CLINK!
The Knight Sword was raised slightly, striking her blade with perfect precision and interrupting Gerry’s follow-up moves.
"Ha!"
Gerry let out a low shout, her speed suddenly increasing. Her twin swords, combined with her movent technique, attacked Harvey from various angles.
Angel’s Sting! She was employing, quite clearly, certain Magic Doors from Angel’s Sting.
The sudden burst, however, didn’t make Harvey flinch; instead, he naturally accelerated his sword swing to counter.
The Magic Door, similarly, ca from Angel’s Sting.
Carl’s eyes flickered.
Both Gerry and Harvey possessed considerable talent on the Knight Path, at least greater than his own when he wasn’t aided by a Divine Domain Fragnt.
That’s normal. Considering their young age yet significant progress, it would be problematic if their talents weren’t adequate. I just didn’t expect that in only two months, relying on so texts I left, they could achieve this level. Hmm... Comparatively speaking, Harvey has better talent!
Not only was his talent superior, but Harvey’s foundation was also more solid, and he had progressed further on the Knight Path than Gerry.
If it truly ca to a fight, it would take at least three Gerrys working together to gain the upper hand.
Moreover, Harvey, as the young master of the Walker family, possessed many valuable items, sothing Gerry couldn’t compare to.
It’s just a pity...
"Stop!"
Carl raised his hand, and an invisible force brutally separated the two combatants. "Harvey, have you practiced other Holy Skills?"
"Holy Skills?" Harvey’s eyes flickered. "You an legendary martial skills, right?"
"I studied under my granduncle for a while, but I couldn’t truly master it due to insufficient Cultivation."
This world indeed had Holy Skills; they were just known as legendary martial skills. Carl had montarily forgotten to switch terms.
Similarly, legendary martial skills were very rare. Only Legendary Knights could truly master them, and very few people possessed such abilities.
One of the reasons Harvey could endure Carl’s two-month absence was the chance to learn a Holy Skill.
"Hmm."
Nodding, Carl slowly spoke, "Your talent on the Knight Path is very high. Just by reading the texts, you’ve managed to grasp the basics of Angel’s Sting..."
"Angel’s Sting is the na of that Holy Skill of mine."
Harvey’s eyes lit up.
"I will teach you the true Angel’s Sting; consider it your tuition fee," Carl’s voice was calm. "First, switch to a rapier."
Upon hearing this, Harvey’s face showed no smile; instead, it darkened. Then, he seed to rally his spirits and nodded.
「Soon」
The two bid farewell and left.
Watching their departing figures, Carl let out a soft sigh. "What a pity!" he murmured, shaking his head as he returned to the shop.
The talents of the two young people were very high, especially Harvey’s. Alas, he had no inherited Bloodline.
This ant...
Without special opportunities, Great Knight would be their limit!
Gerry, for her part, wasn’t as concerned. She still had significant room for improvent, and even with opportunities, becoming a Legendary Knight was not guaranteed.
Harvey was different!
His path as a Great Knight was almost at its end. No matter how hard he trained, he could only refine his techniques and skills, not increase his Cultivation. He would never be able to contend with an Official Wizard.
This feeling of seeing one’s limit but being powerless to overco it was truly despairing.
Carl had agreed to teach him Angel’s Sting, yet Harvey wasn’t particularly happy, and this was the reason.
Even if he learned it, what then?
Without becoming Legendary, one can never truly master it!
"Forget it."
Shaking his head, Carl shrugged. "Everyone has their own destiny. As an outsider, it’s best to just quietly observe."
"Speaking of observing... There’s sothing off about that Gerry girl!"
Gerry had arrived in a hurry, with a flickering gaze.
Although she tried hard to appear natural, she couldn’t fool the keen perception of a powerhouse at the First Rank Late Stage.
What is she up to? I hope it doesn’t involve !
Since their relationship was that of employer and employee, signing another contract was only natural.
And the symbol of the Master of Essence on the contract allowed Carl to ’see’ Gerry to so extent.
「...」
「Leaving the shop」
Gerry quickly walked toward the periphery of the Dream Market.
After avoiding others’ gazes and leaving the market, she cautiously looked around, then took a letter from her person.
Anglie! What could he want with ?
Although Anglie had beco a bit strange after the ordeal in the secret realm, their friendship hadn’t completely vanished.
Considering their past friendship, Gerry thought it over and finally decided to go.
Upon reaching the location specified in the letter, the surrounding trees swayed, but there was no sign of Anglie.
She waited a bit longer.
Gerry slowly shook her head, deciding to leave.
WHOOSH...
Not far away, the trees shook, and a figure burst out, silently landing behind Gerry.
"Gerry!"
SWOOSH!
Gerry suddenly turned, twin blades in hand, instinctively about to swing. However, she relaxed when she recognized the newcor.
"It’s you."
"Jumping out like that gave quite a fright. What are you up to?"
"Sorry," Anglie answered expressionlessly, his voice cold. "I’m in so trouble right now, so it’s not convenient for to show myself. Did you have sothing urgent that required you to see ?"
"See you?" Gerry was stunned. "Wasn’t it you who called here?"
A hush fell over the area.
The expressions of both instantly darkened.
"Go!"
Anglie uttered a low command. With a single wave of his hand, a Gale swept Gerry up and hurled her backward.
At the sa ti, rustling noises ca from the dense forest, as figures who had long been lying in ambush nearby appeared one after another.
"Trying to leave?" a voice uttered a low shout. "Do you think you can escape?"
Gerry clenched her silver teeth. Upon landing, she pushed off powerfully with her feet, her body moving like an agile leopardess.
The ambushers’ target was Anglie; she was rely a decoy, and few of them paid her any attention.
This was her chance!
SWOOSH!
Several Wind Blade chains attacked from the side, aiming to wrap around her waist.
Zero-Circle Magic! An Advanced Wizard Apprentice!
Gerry’s heart sank. Her twin blades flashed out, employing the power-generating techniques of Angel’s Sting.
BANG!
The Wind Blade chains were shattered by her twin blades.
It seed the attacking Advanced Wizard Apprentice wasn’t very strong; at least, they didn’t pose much of a threat to a Great Knight.
SWOOSH!
Gerry’s heart leaped with joy, and she accelerated forward, but she failed to notice the earth in front of her rippling and abruptly rising.
Earth Wall Skill!
THUD!
Gerry collided head-on with the earth wall, smashing a hole through it, but her body was also sared with mud.
Restraint!
The mud on her body transford into ropes, snaking towards her arms and legs.
THUMP...
Gerry lost her balance and tumbled to the ground, her heart filling with despair.
anwhile, Anglie, the forr Wizard Apprentice, erupted with astonishing strength, single-handedly holding off two Wizards.
An Official Wizard! He had evidently beco an Official Wizard, and his thods were uncanny, allowing him to fight two opponents without being at a disadvantage.
"Are you Gerry?"
Just as despair filled Gerry’s eyes and the ambushers closed in, a gentle voice spoke, "The girl Harvey has been ntioning so often lately?"
Huh?
Gerry abruptly looked up to see a beautiful woman gazing at her kindly, simultaneously causing the approaching ambushers to halt.
An Official Wizard!
"I’m Harvey’s paternal aunt."
The woman crouched down. Her slender fingers lightly traced over Gerry, and the witchcraft binding her body unwound.
"I’ve been hearing him ntion you so much lately that I beca curious and followed. I never expected to encounter sothing like this."
Shaking her head with a smile, she glanced back at the scene, then reached out and took Gerry’s arm. "I’ll take you out of here first."
