"Don't you dare harm Miss Lily."
Haddon repeated to Monroe and Dyuer, his eyes burning with fury, like an angry, snarling wolf.
"Haddon?!"
"Why are you here?" Lily questioned the curly-haired boy who had suddenly appeared to rescue her.
"I heard an explosion just now, so I rushed over..."
Before Haddon could finish speaking, several blood-red spider blades slashed towards him. The slender blades glinted coldly, like the scythe of the God of Death.
The blades struck down.
Lightning Magic flickered as Haddon agilely dodged three consecutive spider blade slashes, but he was forced into a dead end against the wall. Four massive spider blades stood upright in the corner, their sharp, cold edges just a hair's breadth from Haddon's face.
Dyuer looked at Haddon contemptuously. "I thought it was someone important."
"Turns out it's just a little kid without even a grimoire. What, trying to play the hero rescuing the damsel?" Dyuer burst into laughter. "How self-important."
"Monroe, don't you think this guy is ridiculous? He dares to fight us without even a grimoire, haha~"
Amidst the mocking laughter, Monroe stared coldly at Haddon, seemingly still holding a grudge about being repelled by him earlier.
"Very good~ You like playing the hero, don't you? I've thought of something fun~"
Dyuer stopped laughing, but a more disgusting smile curled on his lips. He looked at Lily lecherously, his eyes filled with a trace of infatuation.
A fiery red grimoire floated beside Lily; she was about to unleash her Magic.
"Don't move!"
The blood-red spider blades continued to advance into the corner, their sharp edges easily sinking into the wall. A spider blade also cut a bloodline on Haddon's face, and one blade pressed directly against his neck.
Just 1cm away, the blade would cut his throat. Blue electric arcs sparked on the spider blade, but to no effect.
Seeing this, Lily dared not make any rash moves, watching helplessly as Dyuer slowly walked towards her and gently cupped her face. "You're really beautiful."
He glanced at Fragil, who stood beside Bai En, his gaze also filled with blatant possessiveness. However, compared to a lamb awaiting slaughter, Dyuer preferred to eat something a little more "wild" first.
"Be a good girl, take off your clothes."
His words echoed in Lily's ears like the soft whispers of a demon. "Otherwise, I'll kill that kid right now. You don't want him to die like this, do you, my... beautiful lady?"
"Stop it!"
Haddon roared furiously at Dyuer, gasping for breath, exceptionally enraged.
"Hoh~ So energetic, aren't you~ But what can you do?"
"The law of the jungle is the rule of survival in this world. If you're not as strong as I am, you can only be humiliated and devoured by me."
"Don't make me say it a third time, take off your clothes!" Dyuer snapped.
Lily had never endured such hardship. She had always lived under her father's protection, and her biggest failure in life was not passing the Magic Knights' assessment. But now... Haddon on the verge of death, the humiliation from others... tears like a misty rain welled up in her eyes, and she tremblingly reached for the buttons on her clothes.
A pearly white grimoire and a blue grimoire silently floated up simultaneously... but even faster than them was the scorching white Lightning Magic that rose from beneath the blood-red spider blades. "Lightning Magic, Blazing Current!"
The blazing white lightning surged wildly. Although the electric arcs exploding on the spider blades still had no effect on them, they shook them all back.
A swift white light surged towards Dyuer. A chill also rose in Dyuer's eyes. "You're asking for death!"
The remaining four spider blades slashed together, cutting directly at the scorching white light. The sharp hum of electricity and the blood-red spider blades grew closer and closer, about to make contact.
A white light flashed into their midst.
The blazing lightning glowed dazzlingly, and a continuous buzzing sound resonated.
As the lightning gradually dissipated, the ground was scorched black by the electricity. Haddon looked up at the figure in front of him, stunned. "What's with this guy...?"
Dyuer also stared blankly ahead, his eyes full of confusion.
The four simultaneously slashing blood-red spider blades were gently parried by the tip of a long blade. It seemed incredibly comical and unreal, but only Dyuer knew that no matter how much Magic he used, the spider blades could not move forward an inch.
The hand dagger, glowing with blazing white electricity, was firmly gripped by another hand with long, distinct fingers. The electricity was directly extinguished by him.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's not waste any more time with children's fights. We should get to the main topic now," Bai En said lazily, standing between the two attacks.
He let go of Haddon's hand; what kind of sight would two men holding hands be anyway.
"Yo~ Mr. Thief who believes in the law of the jungle, I still have a few questions for you. I don't think you'd refuse, would you?"
"Monroe!" Dyuer shouted.
"Blood Rhino Magic, Rhino's Furious Charge!"
The thumping sound of footsteps echoed. Monroe, from the side, swung his fist at Bai En. Magic condensed into a blood-red rhino phantom that charged forward; it was an overwhelming surge of power!
But... it was only a blink of an eye.
Blood splattered, drenching the ground.
A stout arm dropped to the ground with a "bang," the sound somewhat crisp.
"Eh?"
"Eh?!"
Monroe only felt something flash past him, and then something fell from his body onto the ground. When he looked down, he realized it was the arm he had used to punch.
Oh... so it was my arm.
The next second, intense pain transmitted to his brain, and Monroe began to wail, clutching his arm.
Monroe's miserable state fell into Dyuer's eyes. Countless thoughts rushed through his mind... Who was this guy? Wasn't he just standing there timidly like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?
How could this be?
He hadn't sensed his Magic at all before... now... what the hell was this densely compressed Magic like an ocean?
What's going on? He was just following Big Brother's orders to capture a girl, how did he encounter someone like this?
Continue fighting? No, no, what a joke. He hadn't even clearly seen the blow that severed Monroe's arm.
It's better to run!
The panic he hadn't shown since passing his baptism erupted at this moment. The instinctual desire for survival drove Dyuer to flee.
The four blood-red spider blades that had previously cornered Haddon now slashed from all directions. After casting his Magic, Dyuer turned and fled without looking back, the shattered door now within reach.
"You really are... disobedient!"
The tip of the Zan Yan Blade, which had been parrying the blood-red spider blades, twisted slightly. Bai En softly uttered: "'Release'."
Slashes, countless invisible slashes appeared inside the room. The eight blood-red spider blades near Bai En were instantly cut into fine fragments, while Dyuer, closer to the door, inexplicably froze in place. He stood there silently, and blood-red threads continuously spurted wildly from his body.
Blood splattered the ground...
