This kind of thing sounds simple, but when it comes to actually doing it, it's not that easy. It requires extremely sharp combat instincts.
Carlotta didn't have such astonishing combat instincts, but under the influence of the Elven Butterfly Dance, her figure shifted left and right, drifting unpredictably, making it difficult for Garran to determine her exact position.
As a result, the earth spikes he released were not very accurate.
Carlotta dodged Garran's attacks, the flaming Rose Cross in her hand blazing and dazzling, the bright light forcing Bram and Ulric to only dare to open their eyes a slit.
She was single-handedly suppressing two opponents.
This was a very shocking thing because she was only a third-tier apprentice, while both her opponents were already fifth-tier apprentices.
Yet, together, they were being suppressed by her, to be precise, her opponents were three fifth-tier apprentices.
There weren't many people on this street, but it wasn't empty either.
Now, the people at both ends of the street finally reacted, their faces filled with shock as they quickly retreated, afraid of being accidentally caught up in the fight.
"Is she student from Caerwyn Academy?"
"Hiss... someone's already dead, their head's fallen off."
"Quick! Go notify the security bureau!"
At this moment, Bram was almost going crazy.
Why was this happening?
Why had it come to this?
Everything happening now was completely different from what he had envisioned.
In his original plan, at this time, the five of them should have been on their way to the harbour, about to board the next ship to the Sun Moon Federation, not here, fighting Carlotta to the death in front of everyone.
"She's just a third-tier apprentice," Ulric couldn't help but say at this moment.
As for Carlotta's exact rank, Bram and the others had naturally learned about it through the Dias couple, so they hadn't thought there would be any problem dealing with Carlotta initially.
But now, this third-tier apprentice had already killed two of their fourth-tier apprentice brothers!
"Calm down, Bram. We shouldn't be suppressed. Even if a lot of unexpected things have happened, we should still be able to quickly turn the situation around," Ulric added.
Hearing this, Bram immediately felt that he was right. The reason they were being suppressed by Carlotta was undoubtedly because they had reacted too hastily.
As long as they calmed down and dealt with it properly, the situation could still change.
"Get serious," Bram said after calming down.
The Wave-Breaking Knight Path he practiced was a knight path he had learned when he was a pirate... Yes, he had once been a pirate, a wanted criminal on the seas, but that sea wasn't under the jurisdiction of the Wendell Empire, so he had no criminal record in the empire.
The Wave-Breaking Knight Path focused on breaking through the waves, requiring a unique way to convert the opponent's attacks into one's own, thereby amplifying one's own offensive power.
With a serious expression, Bram twisted his short sword, deflecting Carlotta's strike, and was about to convert the force of her attack when he suddenly saw a card appear before his eyes.
As the card spun, a large amount of oil splattered out, directly smearing his face.
Before Bram could react to what this attack was, Carlotta's Rose Cross clashed violently with his short sword, sending a shower of sparks flying, which landed all over Bram's body.
Intense flames instantly ignited on Bram's body, startling him into hastily retreating, slapping at his body, and quickly removing his clothes.
At this moment, Bram clearly couldn't afford to deal with Carlotta.
Ulric stepped forward without hesitation, his expression tense.
Although Carlotta was a third-tier apprentice, he didn't dare to underestimate this girl at all.
The deaths of their two teammates and Bram's miserable appearance were all telling him that this girl was not easy to deal with.
'It's a pity that my Night Wolf Knight path is more suited for assassination, not for direct combat... But it's fine, I'm still a fifth-tier apprentice after all. As long as I stay vigilant and with Garran's cooperation, there shouldn't be any problems.'
That's what Ulric thought.
However, when Bram was no longer by his side to share the pressure, and Ulric faced Carlotta directly, he finally realized just how immense the pressure she brought was.
The knight technique she used, just from its aesthetic appeal, was clearly the famous Elven Knight Path.
This path, renowned for its beauty, was being wielded with incredible skill in her hands, with all sorts of attacks coming from extremely tricky angles.
Ulric had only been dealing with it for a few seconds before he became flustered, feeling as if he wasn't facing a third-tier apprentice, but rather an opponent of a higher rank than himself.
Were academy-trained transcendents this powerful at the third-tier?
At this moment, Ulric even began to doubt his life choices.
Just as Ulric was flustered and even somewhat mentally distorted, Carlotta suddenly charged forward, rushing past him.
Ulric instinctively raised his sword in front of him, but then realized that Carlotta's target wasn't him. He quickly shouted, "Bram, be careful!"
Bram, who was still patting out the flames on his body, tensed up and quickly looked up, only to find that Carlotta wasn't charging at him.
Carlotta's target was... Garran!
Garran had been keeping an eye on Carlotta and naturally knew her target was him. He instinctively began to retreat while casting a spell to manipulate the ground in front of him, causing a large pit to appear, preventing Carlotta from getting close to him.
But Carlotta didn't need to reach Garran completely. She just needed to close the distance a bit before raising her left hand.
In her left hand, the Rose Thorn was already tightly gripped, now emitting a dazzling light as she threw it with force.
This highly explosive attack was used by Carlotta as a ranged attack, something that others who practiced the Elven Knight Path at the third-tier apprentice level would never be able to do!
The Rose Thorn shot out like the light of dawn, arriving in an instant, piercing through Garran's forehead before he could even react, and then emerging from the back of his head.
Garran fell to the ground.
Carlotta murmured without pause, swinging her flaming Rose Cross as she charged at Ulric once more.
The strong wind blew off Carlotta's hair tie, her red hair flying high as she rushed forward.
Her hair was like fire, her eyes like fire, the flames on her sword raging, her entire being like a blazing fire, charging straight at Ulric once more.
At this moment, fear even began to grow in Ulric's heart.
A fifth-tier apprentice, facing a third-tier apprentice, yet the fear in his heart couldn't be suppressed and was wildly bubbling up!
