Free Web NovelChapter 1154: Chapter 288: First of the Three Swords, Eternal Moonlight_3
But perhaps the assassins forgot, Brand was never alone.
The Light Door has already opened.
Snow-white slender hands grabbed his sword blade. The Magic Longsword emitted a heart-wrenching wail as if it were being sucked into metal. Medphis’s eyes gleamed, flickering with a warlike radiance, "Your opponent is me, refrain from being rude to the master." Only in front of Brand does the Vampire Lady show a gentle side, while his wildness flows like rushing blood.
The assassin’s face changed. He realized that his sword had turned into a pile of scrap iron fragments in the delicate pale hands of the other.
What incredible strength...
On the other side, the Vampire Princess never said a word. As she appeared, she drew blood as her sword. The red liquid that covered the battlefield, like corpses lying everywhere and flowing rivers, seemed to be imbued with new life. The young girl raised her pale hand coldly, like a red rainbow, a splash of blood pearls rose from the ground and formed a curved blade in her hand. On both sides, from within the Blood Pool, two blood-red Giant Dragons unfurled their wings with a dragon’s roar, pulling massive bodies from the liquid.
They raised their heads, coldly staring at the pitiful insects beneath them—the three assassins.
Brand deflected the oncoming sword with a clang and had the leisure to turn and see this scene. He suddenly felt a bit sorry for the assassins confronting Andreg. Andreg excels at Blood Magic. These poor creatures created rivers of blood here, turning the hall into almost her domain. Now it seems to be her peak time for power, and Brand figured that even he might not fare well against her, let alone these poor souls—it’s as they say: heaven-sent calamity can be endured; self-inflicted calamity cannot be lived through.
But he still turned back and shouted, "What are you still dazing around for! Do you really think I can fight seven by myself?"
"Ah?" At this moment, the Female Knight Nia beside Ou Fuwei’er, Macaro, and Delphire just came back to their senses. Brand’s previous display was too shocking, making them momentarily forget they were still on a battlefield where life and death were at stake. With the addition of five Golden Rank members, coupled with Brand’s terrifying strength, the situation on the field finally changed.
Medphis was the first to resolve his opponent. His opponent was a power-type Swordsman, but unfortunately, humans inherently differ greatly compared to the Bloodline in terms of strength, not to mention the speed of the Vampire Lady that could make him feel ashamed and willing to die ten thousand times over. After figuring out the opponent’s attack routes, Medphis closed in and directly pierced the opponent’s heart with a thrust.
Then it was Brand who withdrew from battle. He hesitated for a moment because he wanted to see if he could determine the opponent’s origin through their swordsmanship, but it was to no avail. Helplessly, he executed the Wind Queen Nine Luminaries, efficiently killing the opponent with one strike.
However, of the three, it was the Vampire Princess who remained the most at ease. Andreg herself didn’t even have to make a move. The blood from dozens of people, including more than a dozen Silver Peak masters, formed Essence Blood Dragons that decisively suppressed two assassins. After casting a few negative Black Magic spells, the two assassins died with hatred.
Among the remaining three, the quickest to finish the battle was Sir Wolf. There was no denying that Ou Fuwei’er was a true swordsman. Although his opponent was weaker, his flawless swordsmanship made the opponent understand the origin of his title Lone Wolf—fast, accurate, ruthless, striking successfully and then retreating swiftly, hesitating never. He used a Thrusting Sword, and it seemed his opponent nearly died from excessive blood loss.
After Ou Fuwei’er finished his fight, the battles of the Female Knight Nia and Macaro also concluded one after another. To Brand’s surprise, the busty knight was also a Holy Temple Knight, just like him, possessing incredibly skilled knight abilities. Clad in heavy armor, the moment her holy Conflict Aura activated, the assassin couldn’t get close at all. The battle between the two resulted in a stalemate—until Medphis joined the battle, prompting the assassin to concede. Immediately, Brand understood why the Yanbao Family chose her as Delphire’s personal guard, a veritable super meat shield.
Among the group, the weakest was undoubtedly Macaro. Macaro’s skills were a point of pride among the Erune Nobles, but he was fundamentally a strategist and not battle-savvy, almost falling victim to the enemy. However, at this moment, Brand had his hands free to deflect the opponent’s strikes. The assassin’s expression changed and realized all his companions had fallen, shocking him internally. Without hesitation, he quickly retreated.
It was at this moment that Liwu finally made his move, shouting out, "Freeze for me!"
A ripple appeared in the air, and the assassin was suddenly pinned mid-air, unable to move. At this instant, the terrifying advantage of a wizard over a warrior manifested—just being one tier lower, yet a completed spell from a Great Mage could dictate your life or death, starkly contrasting the close calls and dangers warriors face in fights. The duel among Wizards bore no hint of fireworks, but the outcomes decided in an instant.
It wasn’t Brand’s first time working with a Wizard, and without hesitation, he leaped into the air, thrusting his sword through the opponent’s heart.
Brand landed, stood up, turned, and gazed at Anlek not far away.
Duke Anliek paused slightly, opening his narrowed eyes slightly—his gaze casting a cold light.
