Chapter 231 - 186 : A Reques (1/2)

Moments slowly passed as tense atmosphere calmed down, the fear which haunted Jian Si for a short period of time vanished and all she could see now is a dying man. She cautiously inspected the gold ring but found nothing special about it, she couldn't understand why would Arthur get worked up about this instead of the other one.

She looked closer only to see a very minuscule engraving, it was none other than Lucy's name being written there yet its significance is higher than all the treasures Arthur has in Zodiak's ring.

Jian Si also understood the meaning of ring once she read the name, she didn't know who exactly this Lucy was to Arthur, but it was definitely an important person for him to get so angry.

Having followed the way of the murdering, most of her emotions if not all of them were abandoned as it the only way to reach the peak mastery of the sword.

Surprisingly, Cold Sword didn't argue back, she simply threw the two rings near Arthur without saying a word. He was startled by her actions as he didn't expect the spoiled and an easily angered brat to act like this, nonetheless, he didn't say anything and merely watched her, waiting to see what's she going to do.

The girl, as eccentric as before, stared at Arthur without saying anything for more than three minutes, which made him feel uncomfortable as every time she's around, the atmosphere becomes awkward and a bit gloomy.

”… I can spare your life, if you accept a request of mine.”

Listening to her, Arthur couldn't help but roll his eyes in annoyance, this girl doesn't understand that he's not willing to cooperate with her.

Fortunately, four minutes or so were enough for much of his Nether Energy and Health to recover. His torn off limbs have started regrowing and were almost halfway to complete recovery. The chains also followed, wrapping around the arms tightly, suppressing his physical body.

Jian Si noticed such changes but didn't seem to care at all as if everything was within her grasp. Arthur had recovered enough Health and Energy to deal with her, that's what made him unafraid of her.

”Are you deaf or what? I'm not accepting any requests.”

Jian Si was still not angry, she sheathed her sword and put it on her back then replied

”I wish to let you live but you are being uncooperative, it's just a request.”

”And I wish I could give you a proper beating to teach you proper manners… is wish time over now?”

Cold Sword couldn't handle the 'verbal abuse' she was suffering, with a flushed face and a shaky finger that was pointed at him, she retorted

”Y-”

Before she could finish, a shadowy figure emerged from the clustered trees that were piled up on each other.

It had a skeletal body and a creepy appearance, with a dark armor and a woman's body on its back, it dashed near Arthur, awaiting for his next orders.

This was none other than the Death Knight he sent earlier to retrieve the Dryad's corpse. It is pretty strong but it was lacking compared to Jian Si, so Arthur didn't bother sending it to its demise.

Jian Si was momentarily alerted so her attention shifted from Arthur to Death Knight for a short moment, Arthur made use of this distraction to use his threads and try to immobilize her.

His Enigma Abilities didn't require any form of Energy to be used but they do require focus, which he was lacking for the time being, which is why the speed of threads was not what he expected.
