âBrother, whatâs happening outside?â
In the prison, Anna asked, listening to the faint sounds of battle from outside.
Count Evan cocked his head to listen for a moment and then said, puzzled,
âCould the army from the North Territory have already arrived at Silver Moon
But then he shook his head: âNo, thatâs not right. Even if they advanced towards the Half-Elf Kingdom as soon as they received the news of Veraâs death, they couldnât have reached Silver Moon City so soon.â
Just then, the heavy prison door was suddenly opened from the outside. âLord Count, Miss Anna, please forgive my late arrival.â
Seeing the Half-Elf Knight outside the door, Count Evan nodded with a smile,
âKnight Omar, your timing is impeccable.â
Looking at the Half-Elf Knight who was bowing to her brother, Anna suddenly realised â this must be the St. Prowse familyâs insider in the Half-Elf Kingdom. âKnight Omar, can you tell us whatâs happening outside?â
âOf course, Miss Anna. The once Half-Elf royal family, the Savoy family, has instigated a coup. Theyâve rallied Duke Lute and a faction of the Silver Moon Guards and are currently attempting to seize the royal palace.
Itâs because of this that I seized the chance to secretly slip into the prison and release you both.â
âThe Savoy family?â Count Evan stroked his chin, a smile flickering across his face. âTheyâve really chosen quite a time to rebel.â
âBrother, stop guessing. Weâd better leave this damned place as quickly as possible!â Anna urged.
âAlright, letâs go!â
The three quickly left the prison, encountering very little resistance along the way.
The Modewen Family were already too overwhelmed to care, so they definitely wouldnât be able to guard the prison heavily.
âWhatâs that?â
As the three were passing by the Royal Palaceâs gardens, Anna, pointing to a massive figure in the distance, suddenly asked.
At that moment, Colin had transformed into a whirlwind of death, relentlessly harvesting the lives of Half-Elf guards in the Royal Palace garden.
Count Evan studied the figure for a moment and asked in confusion, âWhy does the bugger have wings?! Could it be a Druid of the elf race?â
âBut the Druids were already wiped out long ago, no?â argued Anna.
âLegends are legends; who knows whether they secretly passed on their lineageâ¦â
âLord Count, Miss Anna, Queen Isa seems to be over there too!â interjected the sharp-eyed Half-Elf Knight.
âQueen Isa?â Count Evan immediately perked up. âLetâs go take a look.â
âDevil⦠heâs a devil! Run!â
The Half-Elf guards inside the garden had already had their nerves shattered by Colin and were fleeing in droves.
Boom! Boom!
Colin pursued them with heavy strides, his large frame and unfurled black wings actually showcasing some resemblance of a hawk chasing chickens. When the chickens had all scattered, the trio of Count Evan emerged.
Facing Colinâs crimson eyes, Anna blurted out, âWhat kind of monster are you actually?â
âYou bloody are the monster!â Colin roared back.
In that instant, he stomped the ground and flapped his wings. He shot toward Anna like an arrow loosed from a bow.
Boom!
Where Anna once stood, the ground erupted like a bomb had been dropped, sending shards of rocks flying everywhere.
Once the dust had settled, there was a crater two meters deep where she had been standing.
But Anna had already dodged to the side. Despite wielding a heavy broadsword, her movements were surprisingly agile and nimble. Like a butterfly, she darted about with a strangely balanced and peculiar beauty.
The intricate patterns on the surface of her broadsword began to flash with bright sparks under the activation of holy light, like serpents of electricity coiling themselves around the blade, emitting an intensely dangerous aura.
With a hiss, in an instant, Anna too transformed into a silver lightning and dashed rapidly toward Colin.
Colin squinted his eyes and took a deep breath.
He suddenly clenched his hands into fists, gathered the seething blood force around him, all converging onto his fist, forming a matchless fist wind and hurled it out!
Clang!
When fist met sword, a sound like metal clashing against stone rang out.
The massive unspoken impact force instantaneously erupted, setting off a terrifying wave of energy that spread outwards.
Zing! Zing! Zing!
Huge, python-like silver lightning burst out from the broadsword, rushed through Colinâs fist and quickly climbed all over his body.
Colin only felt a wave of numbness, draining his bodyâs strength at an alarming speed.
âMove aside!â
With a loud cry from Colin, his other hand lunged out like a venomous snake, aiming directly at Annaâs face.
Anna displayed quick agility, once again evading the blow.
Boom!
The ground was smashed by Colin again, creating a large hole scattering fragments of rocks.
Not letting his advantage slip, Colin chased after Anna, throwing punches relentlessly.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
In a blink, he seemed to mold himself into a demolishing machine, turning the entire architecture around the royal garden into ruins.
Anna was left with no choice but to retreat, looking quite distraught.
âMiss Anna, let me assist you!â
Seeing the situation, Knight Omar cried out, positioned a giant Yuen Shield, almost his height, in front of him and suddenly exerted force.
Bam!
An area of the ground immediately sunk and taking advantage of the rebound, Knight Omar rushed towards Colin.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
With each charge, his speed accelerated and his footsteps turned heavier, the footprints on the ground were sinking deeper and deeper.
By the time he confronted Colin, he had transformed into a streak of golden light.
Colin instinctively turned and punched towards Knight Omarâs Yuen Shield.
Boom!
His fist collides hard against the Yuen Shield, causing a loud explosion.
This terrifying head-on collision pushed Colin back a couple of steps before he could steady himself.
However, the situation was worse for Omar. The Yuen Shield in his hands completely shattered, sending fragments flying hither and thither.
The collision flung him directly into the wall behind.
âPuh!â A mouthful of blood gushed out and left Omar looking frightened.
Just as Colin was about to exterminate this easy target, Anna behind him charged forward again.
Clang!
This time, Colin spun around managing to capture her broadsword between his hands.
Anna couldnât extricate her weapon due to the strength gap, but she didnât seem to mind and surprisingly let go of the hilt.
Her petite frame surged upwards, following the blade of the broadsword, she leaped into the air.
Whoosh!
She miraculously drew two short swords from her waist aiming directly towards Colinâs eyes!
Colin took a deep breath and roared:
âRoar!â
A deafening roar made Anna pause in her mid-air attack.
Taking advantage of this, Colin released the broadsword and quickly reached out with his right hand, grabbing hold of Anna, who was defenseless in mid-air.
âHa! Iâve got you, little one!â
His sturdy hand grabbed Annaâs waist. Even then, she aimed at Colinâs head and flung the two short swords in her hands.
Colin sneered, preparing to dodge.
Just then, a dense, inky black smoke suddenly shrouded his head, leaving him immobile.
Shik!
The two short swords embedded themselves into Colinâs brain. He looked as if he had grown bull horns..
