Devoru panicked and quickly ran over, carefully inspecting Charles's body.
Luckily, though Charles's clothes was soaked with the blood of his comrades, he wasn't injured at all.
“Your highness I'll protect you, hurry and escape!”
Devoru clenched the spear in his hand with his back to Charles, glaring at that beautiful reaper.
A short s.h.i.+rt and bare legs, her figure was like a G.o.ddess that just came out of the baths. Just by looking at her gorgeous legs and her lovely feet, she would surely be mistaken for a lost princess.
But this princess was holding a razor-sharp dagger…
Devastating Instakill? What kind of skill was that, Devoru had never heard of it. How powerful was it that she could instantly teleport to the middle of their camp and finish off everyone?
Against such a powerful killer, Devoru couldn't afford to be careless, he had to let Charles escape.
“Your highness, go!” Devoru had a determined gaze with a hint of resolution for death, “Don't worry about me! I can still hold her back for a bit no matter how fast she is, as long as you get away and hide, she might not find you!”
Devoru was already prepared for the worst case.
“Your highness, why aren't you going!??” He rushed Charles, but he remained still, “Your Highness, it has been an honor to serve you… one day, you will rule as an emperor, so please don't forget about that promise!”
“Uh… Devoru, what are you saying? You're making it sound like we'll never see one another again.” Charles awkwardly used his sleeves to wipe the blood off his face and chuckled, “Who said I'm escaping?”
“Eh?”
Devoru was taken aback and turned to see Charles confident smile.
“Devoru, take a look, she's already done for.”
“Ah?”
Looking closely at that terrifying girl, Devoru understood.
Her breathing was chaotic, her stance was unsteady, like she would be blown over by a gentle breeze,
Was she already at her limit?
“If I'm right, then that dagger is the catalyst for another state, and in that state her speed and power would greatly increase, but she would also need to pay an accordingly large cost.”
Even if his only guard left was Devoru, and his s.h.i.+rt was dyed blood-red, but Charles was able to calmly a.n.a.lyze the situation.
“Huuu…”
Shen DaiYing let out a rugged breath.
Charles was right, Devastating Instakill was already her limit.
Under the Despair Moon state, her body and mind would bear an enormous burden and she had to count every second down to every move and slash.
And she did it, she was able to achieve a shocking accomplishment… instakilling five seventh-level magicians. Just with that, her name would spread throughout the continent.
The only minor flaw was that she didn't even injure her intended target, Charles.
“Puu…” She spat out more blood, her legs went soft and she kneeled onto the ground.
She was still a delicate girl after all, just by using shadow blink a couple of time, her dainty feet were already bleeding.
The burden was too large, in a perfect state she could only maintain this state for two minutes. So after being hit thoroughly with Arc Light a.s.sault Array, it was a miracle that she could even maintain it for ten seconds!
But she hasn't given up yet!
When she drew Soul Slayer, she was already prepared to die.
“Shadow Blink!”
She clenched her teeth and advanced, but this time, her pace wasn't as ghost-like.
“Pure White Spear!”
Devoru manipulated his battle aura and thrust out his spear and a faint pure white cross appeared.
Shen DaiYing kicked off the ground and tried to avoid it, but a sharp pain a.s.saulted her as she made contact with the ground.
Her movements were halted and she lost her balance and fell flat on the floor.
Devoru was stunned and didn't expect that, as the pure white spear pa.s.sed right above her.
But the fallen Shen DaiYing didn't stop, she followed through with a roll, and slashed towards Charles.
This was the only move she could still use, the lowest level of them all.
Cherry Dance, blossom!
“Holy Golden Spear!”
Seeing that she was about to success, Devour poured all his battle aura into his spear, his holy golden spear projected in the sky like G.o.d's judgment.
Shen DaiYing bit her lips.
In Despair Moon, his spear couldn't injure her, it wouldn't even be able to touch her clothes! But now she was barely even maintaining Flower Burial, so even if she took off her high-heels, she had no way of utilizing her astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
She was only at peak sixth-level in Flower Burial, and since she was injured, she couldn't face Devoru at all.
What should she do?
Charles was right in front of her, as long as she continued through, her sharp dagger would surely kill this connected fairy… but that way, she would also be pierced by the holy spear from behind and die!
Die?
Wasn't she already prepared for that?
“Xiao Hua, I'm sorry…”
A girl with the gentleness like a neighborhood sister appeared before her as she silently closed her eyes.
Actually, she long had a faint feeling that Charles would set up a trap, but she still foolishly through herself in. But maybe it's better this way, after she dies, Xiao Hua wouldn't suffer by trying to get in between her and the master and can relax more.
The cherry blossoms dispersed, when Charles noticed that she didn't choose to avoid his spear and continued her suicidal attack, he was a bit surprised.
“Sister Ying!”
Between life and death, Charles suddenly heard a strange voice. Although he didn't hear what they were screaming about, but the voice sounded extremely familiar.
Unlike him, when Shen DaiYing heard that voice she trembled and her eyes opened wide in shock!
Is it him?
Was it really him? Or was it a hallucination?
If it was him… no, how is that possible?
“Die!”
Devoru spear was about to strike.
After being disturbed by that voice, Shen DaiYing couldn't continue. She instinctively turned and the dancing petals instantly surrounded the spear, but were instantly destroyed by the holy spear as the spearhead aimed right at her heart.
Shen DaiYing was finally exhausted, and her remaining consciousness became fuzzy due to the multiple difficult fights.
Everything before her became like an illusion, she felt an intense drowsiness and her body become light. Even if she knew she was about to be pierced through, she didn't want to open her eyes.
If it was that person, then she probably wouldn't have to worry, right…
Before she completely lost consciousness, she heart a faint snapping sound from the forest.
Snap.
Without any warning, the dark forest was lit up by the flames as large meteor fell from the sky landing right on that spear instantly swallowing it.
“Seventh level magic, Flaming Meteor?”
There was no chant, no magic circle, an instant cast seventh level magic that blocked his fatal strike at the last second!
Devoru nervously swallowed, and clearheaded his spear. He couldn't worry about the fainted girl as he stared into the pitch-black forest, afraid of some other powerful magic coming.
First was a peak sixth level killer that could instakill five seventh-level magicians… now there was someone that could instant cast seventh level magic.
Not just that, Devoru noticed that the magic was contained so that the aftereffects of the explosion wouldn't affect the girl. Such a close explosion didn't harm her at all… even eighth-level magicians might not necessarily be able to display such precise magic control.
Devoru has never felt this powerless… a sixth-level warrior was nothing in front of them.
Who was that person? Was he also an a.s.sa.s.sin from Shen Yue Ge?
If that was the case, then he wouldn't be able to protect Charles.
“Who is it? Show yourself!”
Although he was afraid, he still steeled himself and called out, but he didn't get a response.
Out of caution, he didn't dare attack and could only wait for their next move.
“Strange, that magic wasn't aimed at me, so he doesn't want to kill me but save her?” Charles suddenly realized something, “I know! Devoru, quick, grab that a.s.sa.s.sin!”
“Yes! Your Highness!”
Hearing Charles say that, Devoru also realized it.
Since they were planning on saving her, then they just had to catch that girl and use her as a hostage!
As Devoru was prepared to use his spear to pick up Shen DaiYing, the flames illuminated them again!
“What! Another meteor?”
Watching the meteor speeding towards them, Devoru was going crazy.
Was there really just one other person? How could they successively cast two seventh-level magic, how do they have that much magic power?
“Your Highness, watch out!”
Devoru quickly gathered all his battle aura and used Holy Golden Spear again and tried breaking that meteor head-on.
As the sharp spear struck the large meteor, a huge explosion reverberated through the forest.
The meteor shattered and his golden spear split into two, as he coughed up a mouthful of blood…
The shattered pieces of the meteor drifted down as embers and they quickly vanished leaving a pile of ash.
“She's… gone?”
As Devoru forcibly held himself upright, he noticed that the a.s.sa.s.sin next to him was already gone!
