Chapter 224: Chapter 223 Killing and Robbing are Mutual Actions (Part 3)
It must be admitted that these Fire Mist Warriors did indeed have a wealth of experience, and their actions also indicated that their “tail” of Fang Zheng and others was not without gains.
Obviously, they knew that Fang Zheng and Tilia were tough customers, and due to Fang Zheng’s deliberate concealment, almost no one knew his true combat style. In fact, Fang Zheng only released Sealing when he decided he must kill his opponent. Otherwise, it was usually Tilia who released Sealing on his behalf. And if it was just about teaching someone a lesson, Fang Zheng’s own magic was more than enough. The strength of these Fire Mist Warriors was quite limited, and there wasn’t much of a gap compared to Shana; Fang Zheng didn’t even have to use his Vampire powers, relying solely on his Sky-Cleaving Sword was enough to cripple them.
But this did not prevent the Fire Mist Warriors from making an assessment of the Voyager’s strength; those who died at their hands were the infamous Fire Mist Warriors and Followers of the Crimson Realm, and these guys were notorious and hadn’t been taken down because of their formidable strength. By this logic, Fang Zheng and Tilia, who could sweep them away as if they were chopping vegetables, were clearly dangerous characters as well.
Therefore, these Fire Mist Warriors wisely did not choose Fang Zheng and Tilia as their primary targets and instead opted for Nanoka, who appeared easy to bully and indeed was quite easy to bully.
Although it was unknown why this novice Fire Mist Warrior was following Fang Zheng and his group, to others, since Fang Zheng and Tilia were willing to bring this Fire Mist Warrior with them, she must have some merits. As long as they could control her, negotiating with the Voyager afterward would be much easier.
In fact, this was their original plan; it might have been more successful if not for Fang Zheng’s Sealing.
But to the surprise of the Fire Mist Warrior, in the face of his surprise attack, Fang Zheng and Tilia only glanced over, looking as if they couldn’t care less. This made him feel somewhat uneasy inside; he had prepared himself to resist or even endure their counterattack and blocking, but it seemed… they just didn’t care.
“Is this really okay, Elder Brother?”
Fang Zheng merely glanced over before averting his gaze. Unless Nanoka had been slacking these past days, it was time… to test the results of the training.
After all, he didn’t let her play the game just so that Nanoka could earn an all-platinum achievement.
Although unaware of what Fang Zheng and Tilia were thinking, the Fire Mist Warrior was thrilled at that moment. With the cover of his companions, he had rushed to Nanoka’s front. He could even clearly see the bewildered expression on her face, as if she had not yet realized what was happening.
As expected, I knew these trained Fire Mist Warriors were not reliable.
Not all Fire Mist Warriors were open to new things. The cultivation of a new generation of Fire Mist Warriors faced opposition from many people. They believed these novices did not understand their duties and responsibilities and that they might misuse their powers. These stubborn warriors thought that only their hatred for the Followers of the Crimson Realm was the fundamental reason for the continuation of Fire Mist Warriors, and now, this girl had once again proved the correctness of this view.
As a Fire Mist Warrior, she’s willing to be a lackey for humans and Followers of the Crimson Realm?
The man had made up his mind to give this girl a lesson she would never forget.
He had reached Nanoka, and the girl was still dazed, seemingly unaware that the man, dressed in black and holding two daggers, had suddenly appeared in front of her and what he intended to do.
Looking at the girl in front of him, the man reached out to put a dagger to her neck, which would immobilize her and make her give up resistance completely. In his view, it was of no difficulty at all, he just needed to stretch out his hands forward…
Contrary to what the man expected, his dagger did not touch the girl’s neck as he thought it would. Just as the sharp blade was about to reach its target, a transparent, golden shield composed of countless hexagonal lattices suddenly appeared by Nanoka’s side, blocking his attack.
What is this? Could it be some Noble Phantasm?
The man was taken aback by the sudden turn of events and it was only then, as he heard a light buzzing sound, that he raised his head and followed the direction of the sound, his surprise growing even more.
Behind Nanoka, a strange object levitated into existence. It had a peculiar appearance, at the center of which was something resembling steel armor without arms and legs, just a torso about half a meter tall. Flanking the armor were two upright black hoops in place of where the arms should be.
The bizarre object floated behind Nanoka, and from within the central hoop, a golden beam shot out, striking the barrier in front of them. It seemed as if it was the object that had erected the barrier to protect Nanoka.
“What, what is this!”
“Nanoka, counterattack, quick, counterattack, they’re targeting you!”
Sanya urgently cried out a reminder, and at that moment, it seemed Nanoka finally reacted. The man watched her take a step back and then… she vanished into thin air.
What kind of move is this?
Watching the scene unfold before him, the man’s face instantly turned cold. He quickly gripped his dagger in reverse and stepped back while vigilantly looking around. The opponent obviously possessed some kind of Noble Phantasm that allowed invisibility, and he had to be wary of their counterattack.
But just then, he heard the conversation between the Fire Mist Warrior and her Contractor again in front of him.
“Nanoka, I told you not to use the Star Alliance’s invisibility! You’re a Fire Mist Warrior! Didn’t we agree to create soldiers of Prometheus? That would be more useful than this!”
“S-sorry… Sanya, I got too scared for a moment…”
“If you want to be an elite, at least make an Energy Sword.”
As the conversation echoed through the air, the man soon saw the air in front of him begin to warp again, and what followed was a surprising sight.
In mid-air, pieces of metal clinked out as if being poured from nowhere. They seemed to be drawn by something, swirling and spinning until they gradually formed thighs, a torso, and a head. Shortly thereafter, a black figure resembling a humanoid metal creature appeared before the man. Its palms were equipped with two sharp and lethal daggers, and its broad shoulders fanned out behind like some kind of insect. In contrast, its waist and legs were disproportionally thin…
What kind of monstrosity is this?
Before the man could react, a jet of flame burst from behind the creature, and it charged towards the man at a tremendous speed, brandishing its sword blades!
Seeing this, the man’s brow furrowed, and he raised his hands. As he moved, the daggers in his hands vibrated sharply in midair, releasing waves of force that flew forward. His ferocious assault was enough to shred the enemy before him into pieces. But to his surprise, the moment his attack was unleashed, that invisible Shield appeared again, blocking his attack once more.
At the same time, two more creatures that looked like hounds made of metal coalesced and pounced towards the man from his left and right.
“That’s it! Nanoka, create another Knight, let’s try using the Warden this time!”
Sanya was brimming with excitement.
“I told you, the Forerunner is definitely better suited for us than the Star Alliance!”
