Chapter 494: 492 Fierce Battle (Part 2)_1

Boom!

The white crystal shield in front of Anna finally shattered.

But by this time, she no longer needed this shield.

A dazzling light burst from behind her, illuminating the entire street as if it were day.

Her vision turned pale white, obscuring everything, but she could still sense the whereabouts of the Winged Knight.

The significant reduction in pressure allowed Anna’s agile body to leap up, and with just a few swift movements, she closed in on Colin’s position.

She swung her giant sword violently, and in an instant, a brilliant waterfall of white light gushed out, heading straight towards Colin’s forehead.

Clang!

Anna felt as if her long sword had collided with a mountain; the tremendous recoil almost made her unable to hold the hilt of the sword.

At this time, Count Evan’s magical effect slowly faded.

The light receded, darkness swallowed the street again.

Colin blocked Anna’s broadsword with one hand, his skin flashing with a blood-colored glow. A complex pattern, resembling protective armor, intertwined so densely that even the sharp blade could not penetrate. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

“Overconfident!”

Colin snorted coldly, suddenly clenching his right hand.

With a crisp crack, fissures on Anna’s broadsword instantly spread, then shattered completely.

Anna’s face filled with shock; she twisted her slender waist, intending to put distance between them.

However, Colin rapidly reached out with his other hand, gripping Anna’s waist and holding her tightly.

“I warned you back in Silver Moon City, if you fall into my hands again, don’t expect me to show mercy!”

As he spoke, Colin’s grip tightened.

“Ah-”

Anna let out a scream, her body’s Holy Light burst forth vigorously, but she still couldn’t break free from Colin’s hold.

Her mind was filled with horror and confusion.

She could sense that the Winged Knight before her was a sixth tier, and it was understandable that she couldn’t defeat him.

However, she had previously sparred with her father who was also a sixth-tier knight, and although she couldn’t defeat him, she neverlost this entirely.

Anna found that while the Holy Light within this Winged Knight appeared the same as hers, it was actually different. It felt like a natural oppressor to her own Holy Light Energy.

Under such oppressive effects, she always felt that she couldn’t exhibit her true power.

Additionally, this Winged Knight’s power clearly exceeded the usual range of the sixth tier; it was faintly giving the impression of a Holy Field.

Was he on the verge of promoting to the Holy Field?

Anna struggled to pull herself upright, staring at Colin unblinkingly.

However, she could not see Colin’s face within the swirling Blood Fog.

“Wait!” Count Evan shouted hastily, upon seeing the situation.

Colin smirked faintly, his gaze shifted towards Count Evan, “What? You want to ransom your sister again?”

“Why not?” Count Evan asked, bowing with grace. “Killing a St. Prowse will not only disadvantage you, but it will also bring endless trouble to you.”

“In that case, why not consider my sincerity?”

“Oh? Let’s hear about your sincerity.”

As soon as Count Evan heard there was room for negotiations, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flickered, and said:

“Last time, I ransomed my sister with a single magic staff. This time, I am willing to offer three similar staffs, how about it? Of course, if you don’t want the staffs, we can discuss other items.”

Colin snorted lightly, seemingly uninterested in Count Evan’s proposition. Instead, he asked:

“Answer me a few questions. If the answers satisfy me, I will release your sister.”

“Please ask.” Count Evan immediately agreed.

Colin leaned forward slightly and asked, “Who killed Count Angler?”

“To be honest, I’m not sure myself, but I suspect my mother the most…”

Upon hearing this, Colin gave a furious grunt, and his large hand suddenly tightened.

Crack! Crack!

“Ah—”

A series of chilling bone-breaking noises followed, as Anna let out a tragic scream.

Streams of blood gushed out of her mouth like a fountain. It was impossible to tell how many of her ribs Colin had crushed.

“No, no, no!” Count Evan waved his hands repeatedly.

Colin’s decisive, heartless actions led Count Evan to realize that the other party may know something.

Perhaps when Mr. Ji was committing the assassination, this Winged Knight was hiding nearby, witnessing everything.

So, he took a deep breath, as if making an important decision, and said in a low voice:

“Fine, the one who killed Count Angler was Mr. Ji.”

Upon hearing this, Colin raised his eyebrows, solidifying his earlier suspicion — Mr. Ji and Count Evan were already colluding, and were the deepest hidden force in White Dew City!

“How do you know this?” Colin asked further.

“Because I planned it out with Mr. Ji.”

“If I recall correctly, Mr. Ji is a remnant of the St. Sean Family, isn’t he? Shouldn’t he be the deadly enemy of the St. Prowse family? How are you in cahoots with him?”

Having seen no further need for pretense, Count Evan answered frankly:

“There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Both Mr. Ji and I understand this. We believe that our alliance can be mutually beneficial, so we chose to cooperate.

Mr. Winged Knight, I really admire you too.

If you’re willing to let go of my sister, I can forget about our past grievances.

You really have no reason to doubt my sincerity. Consider this: I can even accept a sworn enemy of the St. Prowse family. What does our minor disagreement matter?”

Colin did not respond to Count Evan’s attempts at winning him over, but continued with his questioning:

“What is Mr. Ji’s complete plan for White Dew City?”

Count Evan’s eyes flickered, then he immediately said: “Of course to help me ascend to the position of Duke in the east.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes,” Count Evan affirmed, nodding his head. “The reason we assassinated Count Angler was to enrage the Blood Knight Army. We wanted them to storm the city, eradicate all the old forces, so I can truly take control of the east.”

“You are very candid.” Colin nodded in affirmation.

“As long as you’re satisfied.” Count Evan revealed a faint smile, “So, can you let my sister go now?”

However, Colin slowly shook his head, coldly replying: “But you’re obviously still hiding something!”

Without waiting for Count Evan to retort, Colin once again tightened his grip on Anna’s hand.

But this time, he did not crush anything.

Upon closer inspection, dense, platinum-colored patterns had crawled over Anna’s face and entire body. An intense surge of Holy Light pulsated wildly within her, as if it was about to burst forth at any moment.

Damn it!

This woman is actually advancing her powers!

Can’t beat me, so you level up your powers? Are you some sort of novel protagonist?

Colin cursed inwardly and quickly clasped his other hand around her as well.

Using both hands he suppressed the surging Holy Light and at the same time, his eyes closed.

Then, he opened them again.

In his blood-red pupils, something appeared to be rapidly swirling.

The next second, a boundless curtain of blood diffused throughout the seclusive surrounding.

Faintly, a grand and distant voice could be heard:

“Blood Secret Technique: Dark Gaze!”
