272 The Murdering Shadow Lion (1/2)
In the hall where the Life Shard was, Loretta stared at Knight without revealing her emotions with her sharp haze.
”This is my last warning, leave!”
Her glance caused Lia to shiver as her cold tone could really inflict fear in one's heart.
”Hahahahah” Yet Knight laughed heartily when he heard her as he already activated his battle energy to surround the area and seal all the entrances without her noticing.
Loretta could sense the tint of killing intent in his laugh but she was never going to leave this tomb without the Guardian Stone.
Those who were familiar with Loretta knew one thing; she was the most powerful student of the most powerful sect in the Evelon Continent, the Black Roses. Anyone who receives a warning from her, wouldn't even think to stand before her without fearing for their lives but today, someone talked back at her and there was not a shred of fear in his eyes.
”I know you may have a life protection spell or a talisman on you but that doesn't mean I can't hurt you”
Oracle revealed a concentrated energy spot near her chest and Knight took a guess that it might be a special spell or a talisman that would save her from a killing blow or blows.
”Arrogance is a weakness disguised as strength”
She no longer radiated a serene aura as before, instead, she now started to look at him with an extremely cold glance.
Lia realized both of them had no intent to leave with empty hands and the fight between them is inevitable. So she didn't want to be in Knight's way as she slowly took a few steps backward without making any sudden movements.
”Alright, I'll take this opportunity to see whether or not you deserve the right to be bitchy”
He said with an indifferent tone. He didn't have any enmity towards Loretta but her cold demeanor and her attitude just irritated him.
This was a fight between a genius who never lost a fight in her life and a beast who had never been bested by a beauty.
”Come!”
She blinked her eyes and snapped her fingers, instantly unleashing several bright flowers. These flowers were formed entirely from her Life energy, and they looked really beautiful as well as terrifying at the same time.
”Go!”
Loretta shouted as she threw all seven flowers toward him in a spiraling motion, raising powerful winds along their way. Each flower carried its own fragrance and was extremely beautiful.
”Amazing.”
Lia couldn't help but be shocked witnessing the attack. Not only was this attack very powerful, but the fragrance emitted from the flowers could also confuse the opponent's mind, causing them to be immersed in a beautiful dream, unable to focus on what was going on.
However, Knight's mind was extremely strong and focused. He might have been weak in breaking formations in this world but no one could play with his mind using mind-controlling spells.
His battle energy violently trembled in his body, and instantly Lia saw a monstrous shadow of a winged Lion appear behind him. The aura it radiated was extremely powerful as it immediately charged forward.
Clang, clang, clang…
The shadow clashed with all flowers, causing sound resembling metals clanging to resound. Although these flowers were extremely powerful, they were simply unable to withstand the might of the Murdering Shadow technique of Knight which was created using Battle Energy. After the flowers had been destroyed, the shadow lion didn't stop there, but it continued to charge towards Loretta.
”So powerful!”
Loretta's face showed emotion for the first time since she came here as she blinked her eyes in shock. She had always thought that a Peak Grandmaster couldn't destroy a Heavenly level mage's spell But now, she had proven wrong and finally tasted Knight's true mightiness.
He had obtained the Murdering Shadow technique from the old wolf who was their teacher in the divine continent, and after he reached the Sun realm, he was able to unleash this skill at its maximum level, causing it to become one of his strongest attacks.
Faced with the huge incoming Shadow Lion, she immediately responded. A bright light appeared around her hand, and a black rose instantly appeared. When it appeared, she began plucking the petals and unleashing numerous waves of Life Energy, dispelling the Shadow Lion.
”Hmph, looks like you're not a typical guy. Although you're only a Peak Grandmaster, you still defended yourself from my attack. However, that was my weakest spell, have a taste of my Black Rose!” she said.
