Chapter 200 – Flaming Meteor (1/2)

“Your Highness! Your Highness! Are you injured?”

Devoru panicked and quickly ran over, carefully inspecting Charles’s body.

Luckily, though Charles’s clothes was soaked with the blood of his comrades, he wasn’t injured at all.

“Your highness I’ll protect you, hurry and escape!”

Devoru clenched the spear in his hand with his back to Charles, glaring at that beautiful reaper.

A short shirt and bare legs, her figure was like a goddess that just came out of the baths. Just by looking at her gorgeous legs and her lovely feet, she would surely be mistaken for a lost princess.

But this princess was holding a razor-sharp dagger…

Devastating Instakill? What kind of skill was that, Devoru had never heard of it. How powerful was it that she could instantly teleport to the middle of their camp and finish off everyone?

Against such a powerful killer, Devoru couldn’t afford to be careless, he had to let Charles escape.

“Your highness, go!” Devoru had a determined gaze with a hint of resolution for death, “Don’t worry about me! I can still hold her back for a bit no matter how fast she is, as long as you get away and hide, she might not find you!”

Devoru was already prepared for the worst case.

“Your highness, why aren’t you going!??” He rushed Charles, but he remained still, “Your Highness, it has been an honor to serve you… one day, you will rule as an emperor, so please don’t forget about that promise!”

“Uh… Devoru, what are you saying? You’re making it sound like we’ll never see one another again.” Charles awkwardly used his sleeves to wipe the blood off his face and chuckled, “Who said I’m escaping?”

“Eh?”

Devoru was taken aback and turned to see Charles confident smile.

“Devoru, take a look, she’s already done for.”

“Ah?”

Looking closely at that terrifying girl, Devoru understood.

Her breathing was chaotic, her stance was unsteady, like she would be blown over by a gentle breeze,

Was she already at her limit?

“If I’m right, then that dagger is the catalyst for another state, and in that state her speed and power would greatly increase, but she would also need to pay an accordingly large cost.”

Even if his only guard left was Devoru, and his shirt was dyed blood-red, but Charles was able to calmly analyze the situation.

“Huuu…”

Shen DaiYing let out a rugged breath.

Charles was right, Devastating Instakill was already her limit.

Under the Despair Moon state, her body and mind would bear an enormous burden and she had to count every second down to every move and slash.

And she did it, she was able to achieve a shocking accomplishment… instakilling five seventh-level magicians. Just with that, her name would spread throughout the continent.

The only minor flaw was that she didn’t even injure her intended target, Charles.

“Puu…” She spat out more blood, her legs went soft and she kneeled onto the ground.

She was still a delicate girl after all, just by using shadow blink a couple of time, her dainty feet were already bleeding.

The burden was too large, in a perfect state she could only maintain this state for two minutes. So after being hit thoroughly with Arc Light Assault Array, it was a miracle that she could even maintain it for ten seconds!

But she hasn’t given up yet!

When she drew Soul Slayer, she was already prepared to die.

“Shadow Blink!”

She clenched her teeth and advanced, but this time, her pace wasn’t as ghost-like.

“Pure White Spear!”

Devoru manipulated his battle aura and thrust out his spear and a faint pure white cross appeared.

Shen DaiYing kicked off the ground and tried to avoid it, but a sharp pain assaulted her as she made contact with the ground.

Her movements were halted and she lost her balance and fell flat on the floor.

Devoru was stunned and didn’t expect that, as the pure white spear passed right above her.

But the fallen Shen DaiYing didn’t stop, she followed through with a roll, and slashed towards Charles.

This was the only move she could still use, the lowest level of them all.

Cherry Dance, blossom!

“Holy Golden Spear!”

Seeing that she was about to success, Devour poured all his battle aura into his spear, his holy golden spear projected in the sky like god’s judgment.

Shen DaiYing bit her lips.

In Despair Moon, his spear couldn’t injure her, it wouldn’t even be able to touch her clothes! But now she was barely even maintaining Flower Burial, so even if she took off her high-heels, she had no way of utilizing her astonishing speed.

She was only at peak sixth-level in Flower Burial, and since she was injured, she couldn’t face Devoru at all.

What should she do?
