Crystallization
Brendel’s sword broke through the door, and the solid oak door was smashed to bits. His black coat was like a blooming rose among the flying wood sc.r.a.ps. The rose petals opened, from which came an icy sword. The blade of the sword pointed directly at the n.o.ble boy on the bed with one hand on the Countess’ neck.
Akel probably never thought that someone would suddenly break the door. Startled, he shrieked in a rush of rage, “d.a.m.n you Anurek, where are you!”
The next moment, Brendel saw a shadow coming at him, but he had guessed that there was someone else in the house even before the boy shouted. He reflexively retracted his sword, and with a sharp ‘clank,’ Brendel felt the Halran Gaia blocking something. He narrowed his eyes and saw a transparent sword that shone like an icy crystal.
“Get out of here!”
With that roar, the sharp crystal blade pressed harder against the Halran Gaia, trying to slash Brendel’s wrist. But the Halran Gaia projected forward, and its majestic power was like a tsunami that sent the thin crystal blade flying.
Brendel felt the gray shadow retreat and then saw the gray cloak of the sword-wielding man slip down to the floor. The person underneath the hood was like a monster from a nightmare, covered in dark smoke, its face could not be clearly seen.
The ghostly figure hissed, there was both shock and anger in his voice. He did not think that this young man would have such terrifying power, unaware that it was because of Brendel’s Spectral Knight Crystal. His strength was naturally much higher than others in the same realm, not to mention, achieving the Golden Peak at twenty years old was a miracle in itself.
And Brendel was the creator of this miracle. He was not going to give the other party any chance to recover. His long black coat closed in as wood shards continued to fall and another black light struck at the strange man.
“Flash……Sword!”
The ghost hissed eerily as if it recognized Brendel’s swordplay. It had already been swept back towards the bed by Brendel’s sword. It had no choice but to raise its crystal longsword in defense. However, as the two swords met, only a shattering sound was heard, and waves emitted from the crystal.
Without saying a word, Brendel continued to move forward with the Halran Gaia in his hand, and in the next moment, the s.h.i.+ning blade in the gray-robed monster’s hand exploded into countless pieces.
The creature let out a scream, realizing the insurmountable gap in capability between him and the young man. At the last moment, it raised its head and sent a Debilitating Wave straight to Brendel’s head.
Debilitating Shock.
The Debilitating Wave was moved extremely quickly, and with a very short distance between the two of them. It left no time or s.p.a.ce for Brendel to dodge. The Debilitating Shock had pierced straight into his head before he could even react.
Unfortunately, this time, the ghostly figure had clearly chosen the wrong target.
Brendel’s Willpower attribute’s value had reached an outrageous number after being strengthened by the Blood of G.o.d and had become more invincible after receiving the Lightning Core implant, resulting in a Willpower Barrier that was immune to most spells, including the Debilitating Shock.
The ghostly figure’s Debilitating Shock hit Brendel’s Willpower Barrier: it was like a s...o...b..ll smas.h.i.+ng into a 1000 millimeter thick steel plate. Brendel felt someone spying on him in his Willpower field. He smirked in his head as he coldly watched the Debilitating Wave scatter as if it had hit an invisible wall. Then, resulting backlash swept back at ten times the speed.
Brendel stared at the other party coldly.
The ghost shrieked wretchedly; it hugged its head and started shaking wildly, but it was to no avail. Everyone present heard a cracking sound, and then they saw the monster’s head exploded like how a gla.s.s ball would.
Brendel panicked a little. He thought he would see the brains exploding and blood splattering everywhere. Of course, he did not mind, but there were a few ladies present here, and he didn’t fancy being known as the head-busting maniac in Ampere Seale.
To his surprise, the monster’s head exploded as if it was a crystal ball. Pieces of crystals flew all over the place, and they pierced the house like sharp blades.l
Brendel hurriedly activated the Colliding Halo. The crystal fragments only collided against the magic s.h.i.+eld so he did not end up getting impaled by those crystals.
On the other hand, the young n.o.bleman named Akel was not so lucky. As he was watching the fight going on in the room, he did not expect the shadow’s attack to be a suicidal attack. He was astonished, standing in front of Dilferi and blocking her from the exploding crystal shards.
And so the result of it was obvious.
The instant the crystal exploded, hundreds of shards as sharp as needles pierced into half of his body, slicing up that handsome face and even piercing through an eyeball, causing his eyeball to fall out of the socket like a chuck of rotten flesh.
Akel, who had turned into a b.l.o.o.d.y lump, froze for a moment before he could react. He held his face and started screaming on the bed; his miserable scream was like that of a dying animal.
Dilfer, who was still held down on the bed, used all her strength to push him away and struggled to jump off the bed. But she had forgotten that she was unable to walk, and fell off the edge of the bed and landed on the floor with a loud thud. The thud was followed by the Countess’ cry in pain.
Brendel felt a twist in his heart and he hurried over to Dilferi, pulling her up onto his back. The Countess was s.h.i.+vering and pale, she didn’t even notice that her corset b.u.t.tons were all opened. She did not even have the strength to hold onto Brendel’s sleeve; the girl would have fallen to the floor if Brendel had not been holding her up.
“Are you okay?”
“Mr. Brendel, I……” It was as if Dilferi had been through a nightmare, the tears stains on her cheeks were still wet, and she could not say anything.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here for you.” Brendel said comfortingly.
He looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y man wailing on the bed. Akel had completely stained the sheets red, cloth was sticking to his wounds and his actions ripped open new wounds causing more blood loss. Soon, he lost the strength to scream, and started s.h.i.+vering on his bed as if he was afraid of ripping open any more wounds.
The wails gradually turned into whimpers of pain.
It was obvious that this man was not going to survive. But Brendel had no sympathy for him, especially when he had seen Dilferi in her current state. Brendel was furious; he wanted to go up to this man and cast more spells at him, so the man could get a taste of pain again before he died.
At this time, Princess Gryphine came up to the second floor. Her face changed as she saw the situation in the room. She glanced at Dilferi; She instantly understood what had happened. “Monster.” The princess spat out the word coldly.
“Who is he?” Brendel asked.
“I don’t even want to say this guy’s name, he’s nothing more than a monster. He’s the only heir to Baron Dahl, he’s not Dilferi’s biological brother. You should know who he is.”
Princess Gryphine looked coldly at the b.l.o.o.d.y man who was sobbing on the bed, then she spoke to DIlferi comfortingly, “Are you alright, Dilferi?”
The Countess was able to present her strong side in front of Brendel, but she could not help but burst out in tears when she saw her playmate since childhood. The princess hastily helped her up and comforted her warmly as she shot a glare at Brendel.
