Caroline clenched her teeth as she held her sword in one hand. The runic sword sliced through the air, landing squarely on the tip of Mokuba's incoming dagger, but that wasn't the end of it. The flames that erupted from the tip of the dagger in Mokuba's near-exciting chant were a storm, and Caroline had no choice but to pull back, spinning gracefully to avoid the stream of flames that raced by her side - not even touching the edge of her shirt.
Defending without attacking is not an option.
Caroline noticed that the passageway had begun to break down, and that deep cracks had appeared in the ancient walls. But even so, Mokuba had no intention of stopping his attack, and he was stalking Caroline in an almost frenzy, as if he wanted to die with her. Of course, Caroline had no intention of doing so.
Although Caroline's true power would have taken care of him in a heartbeat. But the current situation prevented her from doing so, the power of the nuclear bomb was amazing, but most of the time it was just a paper tiger lying in the barrel, it was not possible to act with the utmost respect. Besides, this was a competition, not a killing spree, which was why Caroline was defending, not attacking.
On the other hand, the tricks this man is using are just too weird.
It's beyond human strength, arm strength, and speed. He was able to block ten of Caroline's attacks in a split second, while still waiting for the opportunity to counterattack. Even if Caroline tries to bring him down, the burning flames will instantly heal those injuries that are not fatal but can immobilize the opponent. In addition, there were also fire storms and rock-formed spears and other strange things to assist in the attack, this man was so oblivious to the fight, even to the extent that Caroline could not let him repel him without dying, but had to kill him completely in order to solve the problem.
"What the hell is wrong with this guy?"
The sound of Jared's voice finally put Caroline's heart at ease. She jumped back again, just in time to avoid the green light erupting from Mokuba's dagger, and then steadied herself on Jared's side.
(Be careful, this man has problems.)
"Moka Camus! What are you doing? This is a competition! Not killing each other! Stop this immediately!!!"
Serenity surprised to look at the mixed body wrapped in the flames of Moka, face heavy caution. But Moka did not stop, on the contrary, he slowly turned around, the original has been boiling flame suddenly disappeared, replaced by a dark, emitting a light green light of light mist, and see this scene, Serenity back to a mouthful of cold air, and then she quickly drew her long sword.
"Kill him."
"Huh? Miss, that's not good."
"He has been berserked by the Spirit of Magic Resonance! We must kill him now while the assimilation is incomplete!!!"
Serenity clenched her teeth and watched the man in front of her nervously. The spirit of magic going berserk is a very dangerous situation, although in normal times, the communication between magicians and the spirit of magic is very harmonious and smooth. However, there are some people who are not strong-willed, or whose emotions fluctuate too much, and they can easily and unconsciously attract the Spirit of Magic to enhance their emotions. Spirits of magic are not good or bad, nor do they distinguish between right and wrong, they only help the magician in accordance with the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity. As long as the wizard performs their favorite actions and sings their favorite songs, they don't care if the magic is used to kill the defenseless or save the world. The so-called berserking of a magic spirit is a horrible behavior of a magic spirit that inadvertently accepts a deal from a wizard, and their emotions towards the wizard increase infinitely. They don't know what they're doing, and they don't need to know what they're doing, they just need to increase what their target needs. And as a direct result of this, the most forbidden situation amongst magicians will arise - becoming one with the spirit of magic.
That way, the magician will be able to unleash powerful magic because he already has the spirit of magic inside his body. But besides that, the most frightening thing is that the person's mind will be dominated by only one emotion, and the rest of his or her reasoning and all feelings will cease to exist. That emotion can be amplified indefinitely, and it's really dangerous. ...
"If you say so, then I'm relieved."
"Eh?"
Jared's relaxed voice in her ear was so disproportionate to the tension of the scene that Serenity froze in her tracks for a moment.
And then, a gust of wind whipped through her hair.
The spinning black whirlwind flew towards Moka without a sound, and at the same time, the man who sensed the danger roared out, and then the rocks and flames surged up and turned into a hard shield.
But it didn't save his life, it didn't even delay it by a fraction of a second.
The whirlwind-like blade easily penetrated through the protection, after a slight "ballast", Moka's head had already flown up, but the round head only had time to make a semi-circle in the air, and before it had time to fall to the ground, the roaring thunderbolt pierced through the same body that had not yet fallen, and then hit the head of the still flying in the air, causing both of them to shatter almost at the same time. The head still flying in the air, so that both almost at the same time crushed.
Jared whistled as he retrieved the green air and looked at the ghastly sight before him.
Serenity stared blankly at him, as well as the pitch-black double-edged sword in his hand, as a magician who had already stepped into the realm of chanting, she was well aware of how terrifying Moka's last magical barrier used to block was. Relying on that kind of concentration, even the imperial magic cannons were unable to blast through his defensive wall! But in front of this man, that thick wall of defense was as fragile as a piece of tofu.
When she thought of this, her eyes shifted to the black double-edged sword in Jared's hand, and Caroline's runic sword, which had already regained its original form, but still had residual electricity pulsating on it. This makes Serenity can not help but think of the standardized weapons in their hands before entering the labyrinth, at that time I was quite unimpressed with it, but what I see now, is that the real strength of the two of them? If Jared had taken out this sword at the beginning of the fight, he would have had no chance of winning.
"Where's the princess of our house? Caroline."
Jared had little interest in the body, which had changed to powder, and looked around before asking Caroline.
(Has gone forward, hopefully she'll make it.)
Caroline withdrew her sword and changed back into an umbrella. However, she frowned at the ceiling above her head, which had cracked and scattered dust downwards, and immediately took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust on her shoulders. Dust and dirt on a black dress is very conspicuous ...
"Why do you care when you've got five sets of clothes to spare?"
Jared shrugged his shoulders, but it was a mere grumble.
Kelly isn't in, Serenity is out, Moka the man is hung up, so what's next is ...
"Wendy?"
The answer was easy to find by elimination.
"She's a weirdo."
Serenity was quick to comment.
"I can't even put into words how weird she is, although Wendy isn't the type who can't get along with people, but in a way, she's just as unstable as Tawana in the team, but at least she's considered a trainee praetorian ambassador, and judging by her strength she's a lot stronger than Tawana Kanarot. I think that if you two weren't around, Tawana's chances of winning would be basically zero."
"That's fine."
Jared nodded in satisfaction, which caused Serenity to look over at him with some surprise, but upon catching Caroline's curious gaze in this direction, she blushed slightly and then coughed in an attempt to change the subject.
"Ms. Guardian."
"First names are fine, she's Caroline and I'm Jared. Caroline can't talk since she can't, so if you have any questions ..."
Jared didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant. So Serenity straightened her face and said to Caroline, solemnly.
"Ms. Caroline, can I borrow your weapon?"
Caroline raised the umbrella in her hand and looked at Jared with a questioning look. Jared showed a strange smile, he stared at Serenity, and then smiled slightly, but no matter how you look at it, it is not related to the positive words such as kind and warm. So Caroline also no longer hesitate, although she will hand over the umbrella in her hand, but in the corner of her mouth, seems to emerge and Jared almost the same, seemingly without a smile.
"Thanks ... woo!!!"
Just took the umbrella Serenity did not have time to finish, suddenly only felt his arm was heavy, almost like a mountain pressure down like tearing his arm, she hastily let go and backed up, and the umbrella so "ballast" after a light sound pierced through the ground, leaving only half of the umbrella outside, the remaining half of the umbrella easily pierced through the hard stone floor, as if into a piece of soft cake. The remaining half of the umbrella easily pierced through the hard stone plate on the ground, as if it was a piece of soft cake.
"This ..."
Serenity puzzled staring at the umbrella, to her arm strength, although only slightly better than ordinary people, but that huge, nearly thirty kilograms of combat with a huge sword Serenity is also seen, but that kind of thing she can barely move. But this looks light and slender umbrella ... from the feeling just now, it is at least three hundred kilograms of weight!
Is that how Caroline carries it around? And it's as easy as a feather?
"That's it."
Jared gazed at the silent Serenity with amusement, while Caroline easily lifted the umbrella that had been thrust into the ground and slung it around her wrist as usual. After all, this was an underground passageway, and there was no need for shade or protection from the rain. The movement was light and agile, without any inconvenience. But Serenity couldn't make sense of it, no matter how she looked at it. Clearly, the umbrella was not as heavy in Caroline's hands as it was in Serenity's. Otherwise, whether or not Caroline really had that much wrist strength, the inertia of the weight wouldn't have been so easy to overcome.
"Aren't you going to take care of that magic messenger?"
"Don't worry, our princess is safe and sound ..." said Jared, pausing for a moment, then he looked in front of him.
"At least until now."
"Brother Jared! Sister Caroline!!!"
Tawana ran happily toward the two, and seemed to be holding something in her hand that was emitting a vague turquoise glow.
"Tawana, you're back ... that's ..."
In fact, without asking Jared knew that it was a necklace, but why was it in Tawana's hands.
"What's going on here? How did you get this charm! Where's Wendy?!"
Serenity couldn't believe her eyes. Tawana had it? Where was Wendy? Did they not meet? Hearing Serenity mention Wendy's name, Tawana's expression also changed a bit strange, she first carefully put away the necklace, and then hesitantly said to the three people who looked at her curiously.
"As a matter of fact ... this is what Ms. Wendy gave me."
