Chapter 346 - A Third Meeting with the Angel (2/2)
She liked swords only because swords were more graceful.
The fireball was frozen halfway through its flight, and Roland said quickly, “Back off.”
But Andonara did not listen to him. Instead, she stepped forward and protected Roland.
Then, she shook her wrist, triggering a sector of sword aura that was faster and more powerful than a real sword.
But same as the Inferior Fireball, the transparent sword aura disappeared before it approached the corner.
“Run!” Andonara looked at the corner in panic.
She was a strong Great Swordsman, and the sword aura was one of her bloodline skills and extremely powerful.
How magnificent must the enemy be to make her attack disappear?
Standing before Roland, Andonara retreated, trying to push Roland out of the room. The only thing that she could think of was to protect Roland, who was more vulnerable as a Mage and the first man that she had ever chosen for herself.
In dangerous moments like this, one did not have time to think too much. That was why people said that a person’s character would never be revealed until they were in peril.
Roland laid his hands on Andonara’s soft shoulder, trying to pull her back.
But he found that he couldn’t move her at all. Instead, Andonara had been pus.h.i.+ng him with her back, and he was about to be forced out of the room.
She was a Swordsman, and her level was higher than his. It would’ve been weird if he could pull her back.
“Andonara!” Roland roared. “You idiot, I’m a Golden Son. I don’t die…”
Suddenly, dazzling light burst out from the corner.
Roland and Andonara could not see a thing anymore, but neither of them blinked their eyes. They grew more vigilant, fearing that the enemy would attack them at this moment.
Roland cast Magic s.h.i.+eld on himself and grabbed Andonara’s shoulder again, trying to pull her back.
However, Andonara stood before Roland unwaveringly and pushed him back again.
While they were in a deadlock, someone said in a teasing tone, “Aren’t you a sweet couple?”
The voice was refres.h.i.+ng, pleasant, and even sacred, evoking awe and admiration.
Now, Roland and Andonara could see what was before them.
A beautiful woman with a pair of wings on her back was standing at the corner.
“An angel?” Andonara was slightly relieved.
In the legends, angels were Lawful Good and wouldn’t attack people randomly.
But Andonara did not completely let go of her wariness. After all, there was no telling why this angel was lurking in the corner.
Seeing Andonara’s vigilance, the angel smiled and said, “Rest a.s.sured. If I meant you harm, you would’ve been killed a long time ago.”
Roland was much calmer in comparison, because he recognized the angel to be the one from the Paradise of Life who fell into the crater a couple of days ago, and who directed Falken into the paradise a few months earlier.
“I’ve met you before.” Roland walked out from behind Andonara’s back.
The angel looked at Roland and said, “I remember you too.”
Andonara’s mouth tasted sour, as if she had drunk certain special seasonings.
