Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Confrontation with the Ashen Fang Generals
As Orpheus charged toward Ryutaro, Ryutaro swiftly caught him.
"What? How is this possible?" Orpheus said.
"Why? Are you surprised just because I caught you?" Ryutaro replied.
Ryutaro then slammed Orpheus to the ground.
"Ugh! Of course not, I’m just a little surprised that your strength has increased again," Orpheus said.
Orpheus quickly got up from the ground and wiped some blood off his mouth.
"Good, Ryutaro. Your strength has increased again. If this continues, it’ll be fun, won’t it?" Orpheus said, wiping more blood from his mouth.
"Stop talking. Tell me how you all managed to get here," Ryutaro demanded.
"Hahaha, of course, I’ll tell you..." Orpheus began.
But before he could continue, Orpheus appeared behind Ryutaro, startling him.
"You have to defeat me," Orpheus said.
"What?" Ryutaro said, turning around.
Before he could fully turn, Orpheus landed a blow on him.
Ryutaro, unable to dodge the attack, was sent flying a considerable distance.
Ryutaro’s women were immediately shocked and worried about his condition after being struck by Orpheus.
"Ryutaro!!!" they shouted, concerned for his condition.
But as they rushed to him, they were blocked by two mysterious figures.
"Not so fast," one of the figures said.
"You’ll be facing us," the other one said.
"Who are you? Don’t stop us," Grace demanded.
"Seems like you don’t recognize us, Demon Queen Grace. Very well, we’ll introduce ourselves," the first figure said.
The two figures introduced themselves.
"I am Sylvara, the eighth strongest general of Ashen Fang. Nice to meet you," Sylvara said.
"And I am Zarek, the seventh strongest general of Ashen Fang. Nice to meet you as well," Zarek said.
Grace and the others were taken aback. The two figures blocking their path were members of the strongest generals of Ashen Fang.
"Why are you two here? Why are you blocking us?" Alice asked.
"That’s none of your concern. The important thing is that we’ll stop you from getting any closer," Zarek replied.
"This fight won’t be easy. I’ll face Sylvara. You two, deal with Zarek," Grace said.
"What? Why are you fighting him alone?" Miyuki asked. freewёbnoνel.com
"Yeah, don’t get too cocky with your power," Alice added.
"Don’t worry, I won’t lose that easily," Grace assured them.
"Alright, don’t let him beat you," Miyuki said.
Zarek and Sylvara stood by, waiting for them to finish speaking.
"Are you done talking?" Zarek asked.
"Yes, thank you for waiting. Now, let’s begin," Grace said.
Grace dashed toward Sylvara with incredible speed, so fast that Sylvara didn’t have time to react. Zarek, standing next to Sylvara, was shocked by the extraordinary speed.
"What? How is this possible?" Zarek exclaimed.
As Zarek tried to rush to help Sylvara, he was blocked by Alice and Miyuki.
"You’ll be facing us," Miyuki said.
"How does it feel to be blocked by us?" Alice teased.
"Hoo, you think you can stop me like this? Fine, I’ll deal with you both before Sylvara finishes with her opponent," Zarek said.
Zarek immediately began preparing his magic to fight Alice and Miyuki.
Meanwhile, inside the house...
Aurelia was still fighting Valerius, the sixth strongest general of Ashen Fang, while protecting Lilith behind her.
"Damn, I’ve attacked him several times, but none of my attacks seem to work," Aurelia muttered.
"Hahaha, is this all the power of the Dragon Queen?" Valerius mocked.
Valerius lunged at Aurelia to strike her, but his punch was blocked by Rin, who had just arrived in the house.
"Yo, is this all the strength of the strongest general of Ashen Fang?" Rin asked.
Valerius was shocked that his punch was stopped so easily by Rin.
"Who are you?" Valerius asked.
Before Rin could answer, she threw Valerius into the backyard.
Aurelia, still catching her breath, was startled to see Rin in front of her.
"Rin, what are you doing here?" Aurelia asked.
"Of course, how could I let Kevin’s daughter-in-law get hurt here?" Rin replied.
"But what about Ryutaro and the others?" Aurelia asked.
"Don’t worry. Before I came here, I was asked by him to help you," Rin reassured.
Lilith, still behind Aurelia, asked who Rin was.
"By the way, Onee-chan, who is she?" Lilith asked.
"She’s Rin, one of the high-ranking members of the Children of Ruin who defected to our side," Aurelia explained.
"Children of Ruin? Isn’t that a very evil group?" Lilith asked.
"Yes, you’re right. They’re very cruel, which is why she left them," Aurelia replied.
While Lilith listened to Aurelia’s explanation, Valerius slowly approached them, coughing due to the dust in the air.
"By the way, seems like you should finish your introductions," Rin said.
"Cough, cough, damn, that throw was so strong," Valerius muttered.
Aurelia looked at Valerius and was shocked to see that he only had minor injuries.
"Huh? Even after being thrown by Rin, he can still stand with only minor injuries?" Aurelia said.
Lilith explained why Valerius only had slight wounds after being thrown by Rin.
"Of course. He has a passive skill that gives him regeneration abilities," Lilith explained.
"So you mean he can’t be hurt?" Aurelia asked.
"Yes, he can’t be hurt as long as the attack doesn’t kill him," Lilith replied.
"Oh, interesting. Well, let’s see if my attack is faster than his regeneration," Rin said.
When Valerius heard that his passive skill had been exposed by Lilith, he became enraged.
"Damn you, Lilith! Why did you tell them about my skill? I’ll kill you, Lilith!" Valerius yelled.
Glacier Vengeance
After saying the name of his spell, Valerius raised his hand to the sky, summoning an eternal ice storm. Ice shot up from the ground, forming a spiky cage around Aurelia and the others.
As they were trapped in the ice cage, Valerius laughed.
"Hahaha, with this magic, you’ll die slowly. Enjoy your suffering," Valerius said.
Aurelia, trapped inside the cage, asked Lilith what magic this was.
"What is this magic? Why is it so cold here?" Aurelia asked.
"This is Valerius’s magic, called Glacier Vengeance. The target trapped inside is forced to freeze slowly, then crushed from the inside by sharp ice shards that pierce the target’s vital organs," Lilith explained.
"Huh? So we’ll be trapped here until we freeze to death?" Aurelia asked.
"There’s one way out. If we can use a very strong fire magic, we can escape here alive," Lilith said.
Rin, hearing their conversation, smiled slightly.
"Fire magic, huh?" Rin said.
"Can you do it, Rin?" Aurelia asked.
"Of course. Who do you think I am?" Rin replied.
"Oh, right. You’re one of the strongest leaders of the Children of Ruin, you should be able to," Aurelia said.
"Not a leader, but a former leader," Rin corrected.
"Oh right, I forgot. Well, hurry up and get us out of here. I’m starting to feel my legs freezing," Aurelia said.
"Alright, I’ll cast my spell then."
Rin prepared her magic.
Blazing Rebellion
In an instant, Rin’s body was surrounded by intense fire, causing the ice cage to melt in seconds.
"Whoa, Onee-chan, what magic is that? Why is it so hot here?" Lilith asked.
"I don’t know myself, but for now, let’s just trust her," Aurelia said.
The two of them waited as the ice cage melted completely, fanning themselves to cool down from the intense heat.
What happened to the three of them? Did they manage to escape? If they did, what would be Valerius’ reaction, considering he was so confident that his cage could kill all three of them? And what about Ryutaro, Alice, Miyuki, and Grace—what is happening as they face off against the strongest generals of Ashen Fang? And where is Charlotte, who has not appeared so far? Is she still in the car, or is she fighting someone else, just like them? Stay tuned for the continuation in Chapter 48.
