Chapter 33: Ch 33: Number 13
"Hey, hey, hey. Stop! Let's talk like normal people, okay?"
Sensing the continuously rising chillness in the air, Emrys tried to calm the girl.
However, for some reason, Laura appeared to be completely determined to take his life. Without any warning, she attacked with her palm.
"F*ck!"
Emrys cursed loudly. The next moment, he grabbed the E-1 Alloy Knife in hand as the endless Soul Force surged inside his Soul River. The long knife in his hand glowed with a pale light. Emrys had no time to think, so he immediately executed the Flying Blade Technique.
The blade light Emrys had unleashed seemed to house an endless amount of Soul Force.
"BOOM!"
In an instant, the terrifying palm print collided with Emrys's blade light. The destructive power exploded, and the light produced from the collision was incomparably blinding.
There was a faint sound. Laura's palm attack had broken through Emrys's blade light and continued to attack his body.
Emrys was startled. It seemed like he had underestimated the woman's strength. There was actually another reason. It is due to his lack of control over the Flying Blade Technique. After all, it hadn't been long since he had learned this skill.
Emrys was unable to dodge the attack and was sent flying. He fell to the ground only after flying for a few meters in the air.
Fortunately, most of the attack power was canceled by the blade light. Otherwise, this attack would have injured him greatly.
Laura coldly snorted. She did not say anything and took out a long sword. Then she skillfully waved the long sword in her hand in the air. A luminous light flowed on the blade of the sword, like a special move bearing. As it moved, it drew a sword light that rose into the air. As the light shone brightly, the sword light suddenly fell from the air, its direction was Emrys's position. It was incomparably sharp and seemed to be capable of cutting even a metal like tofu.
'So ruthless!'
Emrys's eyes glowed with silver light. In order to kill him, Laura was showing no mercy at all.
Emrys's expression turned cold. To retaliate, he used the skill, Node Shift, and disappeared.
The sword light hit the empty space, creating a loud noise.
"Where is he?"
Laura was startled when she saw Emrys disappearing right before the sword light hit him. Not understanding how Emrys vanished so suddenly, she tried to look for him.
However, she suddenly felt a cold sensation on her neck. Lowering her head, she saw a blade placed against her neck's soft skin.
"If you dare to move, I won't hesitate to kill you!" Emrys muttered into her ears from behind, his voice incomparably cold.
Previously, he had accepted his fault and even apologized. However, this girl was being incredibly unreasonable. Not only did she not accept his apology, but she was also now attempting to kill him.
Did she take him for a pushover or something?
The girl could no longer say anything. The cold sensation on her neck made her realize that if she dared to make one wrong move, she would die right there.
"I'm releasing you. Don't you dare behave unreasonably again! I have already apologized. This matter ends here. Understood?"
Emrys's cold voice made Laura perceive the threat that was definitely not a joke.
"Hmm!"
She lightly nodded her head, being extremely careful.
Emrys put his blade down and retreated a few steps, creating distance between Laura and him.
It was not that Emrys was a fool to let go of someone who was trying to kill him, it was just that he wanted to pry out some information from Laura. This place was too strange. It is better to have as much understanding of this strange forest as possible.
Laura touched her neck and heaved a sigh of relief. She silently wiped out the sweet that appeared on her forehead and then glared at Emrys. She did not expect Emrys to have such a powerful move in his arsenal.
"You..."
Rumble~
Just as Emrys was trying to ask something, the earth shuddered heavily and the sky rumbled with loud noises. Far at the distance, dust filled with air, clouding the almost-clear mountain range with mist.
"This is?"
"What is happening?"
Emrys's attention shifted. He turned and looked at the mountain range that was not far from where he was standing. The dense mist had somehow started appearing mysteriously, clouding the mountain range for some reason.
"It has started! The Lion Falls has appeared once again. I have to go!"
With the appearance of sudden phenomena, Laura's appearance changed. She muttered in a low voice and immediately took out a mask, putting on her face. The mask was completely white, showing a number on the surface. This was number 13.
"If you live your life, then stay far away. Don't you dare investigate anything further!"
"I hope we won't meet in the future!"
Emrys turned his attention towards Laura, who was glaring at him from behind the mask. Then, without a word, she left.
"Lion Falls? What is that?"
Emrys shook his head and muttered. He fell into deep thought.
On the other hand, the rumbling noise was becoming louder and louder.
"Emrys!"
All of a sudden, someone called him from a direction. Emrys raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw two figures approaching from not far away. They were Rohan and Cairo.
Although it took them a while, Rohan and Cairo still managed to find Emrys. In fact, it is all because of Cairo.
Not long after Emrys left, Cairo also smelled the lingering fragrance in the air. As an Intel Scout, it was very easy for him to trace the fragrance back to its source. He followed the fragrance and brought Rohan here.
When they saw Emrys, they immediately understood why he had suddenly disappeared. He must have caught wind of the fragrance and been alarmed. Wanting to investigate for safety, his ability to change position made it easy for him to escape, unlike Rohan and Cairo. That explained why he hadn't brought them along.
Unknowingly, a warm smile appeared on Rohan and Cairo's faces.
They stopped by Emrys's side and observed the surroundings.
'It seems he has fought a tough battle here!'
Rohan and Cairo thought. They could see the traces of battle and explosion that were still fresh.
