Chapter 230 - 185 : Choose Wisely (1/2)

Jian Si stopped a distance away from Arthur, gazing at him with a strange look. He felt a bit of killing intent emanating from her, her facial expression was unusual as if she was struggling with two things.

After a bit of time in such a position, she had yet to speak to Arthur when turned her head and stared at a certain direction, exactly where his dismembered arm was.

Her eyes were glued onto his ring, which she seemed to be interested in. Obviously, he saw that but didn't say anything, in fact, he laughed inside as it is impossible to rob his belongings if they are inside Zodiak's ring.

To access it you need to be able to use Dark Mana and only he could do that, so it's a useless piece of garbage for her, still, he didn't tell her that and silently watched her actions.

The girl took the ring and injected Nether Energy, expecting to see what's inside, however, nothing happened even after a few tries so she looked at the defenseless Arthur again and spoke her first words

”Hand me your blade and I'll spare your life.”

Simple and direct words, she told him her motive without any tricks which is something Arthur liked, but that doesn't mean he'll tell her how to open the ring or just hand his weapon to her.

Makaze is his strongest weapon and his connection with it is rather strong, not only is it a unique blade, it is too powerful and it could even harm Sovereign.

That is part of the reason Jian Si wants it, if she enforces her own sword with Makaze then the results will be extraordinary, and as a sword fanatic, she would never miss such an opportunity.

She had already seen the deadliness of his blade and its might, and without a doubt, it's stronger than her own blade, which is a very old inheritance so this made her more attracted to Makaze.

Arthur spat some blood on the floor and grinned as he looked at the dead serious girl

”My blade? You're not worthy and even if you were, I'm not foolish enough to hand it to you.”

Not hearing the answer that she sought, Jian Si pointed her sword at Arthur with only a few inches of empty air separating the sharp tip of the blade and his fast.

”It's either your weapon or your life, you choose.”

Still uncaring about the close blade that could end his life in a split second, Arthur mockingly replied

”As a sword user yourself, you know better than anyone that your sword is your life.”

Listening to the dying man, Jian Si frowned and maintained her silence, seemingly lost in thoughts but that she soon snapped out of it when Arthur continued with a weak voice

”Furthermore, people like you are always the same, the outcome will be the same whether I hand your my blade or not.”

”People like me?”

Arthur looked at her with a disgusted stare and answered
