Chapter 178 – Trade (1/2)

After he cast barbaric bull, not only was Veblen’s body covered with red lines, he also got one circle larger! His shield that could originally perfectly cover his body now seemed much smaller, and couldn’t completely protect him.

Not that he needed the shield’s protection anymore.

“Move!!”

Veblen, who had been passively defending the whole time, fearlessly charged towards Caesar.

“Hmph, impertinent. Do you think you’re strong just because you got bigger?” Caesar coldly snorted.

Although he was inside the anti-magic field, he was still a genuine fifth level warrior, so his battle aura wasn’t lacking at all.

His golden aura melded into his body, and he exploded with a speed unlike previous, he leapt up and swung his dark red dragon slayer sword down towards Veblen’s neck.

“Move!!” Veblen roared again.

He was at least twice as strong after being strengthened, and his large body was a distinct contrast to Caesar’s tiny body.

A crass and study bull on one side, and a tiny dazzling prince on the other, the two finally clashed.

The sword and shield clashed with a loud clang, with sparks flying in all directions.

Veblen held his shield with his left hand and took on Caesar’s attack, he pushed off with both legs and put his entire body into it.

Originally, he had to draw back to receive Caesar’s attack in order to not take too much damage, but it was unnecessary for the current him.

“Scram!”

That was an explosive roar.

Caesar was surprised, he never expected him to gain that much strength, and he was sent flying by the shield.

Without Caesar, Veblen could rush to Lin Xiao and easily chop him down with his axe.

But how could Caesar be that easy to deal with?

“Hurricane!”

He gripped his sword in reverse, pointing it towards the sky, and he used a low-level Hurricane, not facing Veblen, but facing behind him.

He didn’t want to use it as an attack, but use the force it generated to push him backwards in midair.

Under Caesar’s deliberate control, a rampaging hurricane surged out and instantly generated a large force. He who was originally flying out like a sandbag, abruptly changed direction, like a guided missile and plummeted towards Veblen.

“What!?” Veblen watched the golden ‘artillery shell’ speeding towards him, and his steps slowed down.

He never expected Caesar to rush back risking his life!

What should he do? Clash with him head-on?

No, Caesar’s sword skills outranked him, he would be in a disadvantage.

So Veblen only had one choice, he had to stop and give up on ambushing Lin Xiao, and raised his shield.

“Do you think you can block it?”

Caesar roared, placing both hands on his sword, tightly grasping it and swinging directly onto Veblen’s shield.

The water shell covering the shield splattered everyone, and the metal shield couldn’t take the continuous shocks and reached its limits.

“Leader!”

All the Water Academy students cried out in alarm seeing that.

Veblen’s shield was their team’s strongest defense, as long as the leader’s shield was there, they had an impregnable front. But to their dismay, the leader’s shield broke.

Following a shocking cracking sound, the minute fractures on the shield burst open, and in a blink of an eye, the shield that was as tall as a person, was reduced to a pile of rubbish.

Caesar didn’t pullback after the shield broke, rather he pressed up and attacked! He landed firmly on the ground stepped back to readjust his stance, then continued his attack.

“Damn!”

Veblen felt a chill after his shield shattered.

Without his shield protecting him, it wouldn’t be easy to defend himself, and getting through Caesar would be nigh impossible!

He wanted his team to give him a hand, but Shen DaiYing’s demonic figure was nowhere to be seen. She was wearing high heels but could move freely through the forest, so both of them had to concentrate to protect Barth and had no time to help him.

What should he do?

The incantation he could hear next to him, descending from the sky made him anxious.

The deep blue magic circuit was becoming larger, and was almost above their heads, the anti-magic field almost seemed ineffective, and the temperature was rapidly dropping along with it.

He knew that Lin Xiao was almost finished!

“Fool! Where are you looking? Do you want to die?”

“What?”

Veblen quickly looked back and saw Caesar approaching.

Why does he like fighting so much?

From what he remembers, Caesar was a prince from Lombard Kingdom, a respected status, yet he was completely different from that trap Charles, who hid behind his underlings. When he fought, it was like he didn’t care about his life, like a rabid dog!
