Shen Yue was first caught off guard slightly, and when she looked more closely, she was utterly stunned silly. "Hey! Are you-" She started to speak, but before she could finish her words, the white-robed woman raised her hand, and the next instant, she was mercilessly tossed away.
Shen Yue's body was flung aside like dirt, and it landed on the wall with a dull thud as her slender figure slowly slid down unconscious. "I did not allow you to talk." The white-robed woman sneered.
And she was not done yet. A golden cage dropped out of nowhere and locked the heavily injured princess in place.
Immediately, all the dot damage on her that was slowly but surely draining her health came to a complete stop. Her health even slowly started recovering, though she was still caged like an animal.
Meanwhile, the white-robed woman did not pay any more attention to her as she walked towards Shen Yue's unconscious figure. She stood in front of her and snapped her finger as a golden strand of energy appeared and started swirling around Shen Yue.
The strands of energy then unexpectedly grabbed her by her throat and gripped her tightly as her body lifted up in the air. Shen Yue immediately started choking. She was an inch away from death, as there was only a sliver of health left.
However, the white-robed woman did not seem to care about that. She simply continued looking at Shen Yue with an indifferent, cold gaze. "Hmmm… Interesting. I didn't expect to find two of you here."
She flicked her hand, which made Shen Yue's struggling body float closer to her. "I was only sent here to capture one, but now I am thinking of taking both." Shen Yue struggled and tried to say something when a healing spell landed on her, only for her to be tossed away once again.
She landed on the same wall, and her health fell to the same last 2%. "Insects like you shouldn't raise your head against me." The white-robed woman sneered. She again healed her and lifted her body to thrash her against the ground.
She did this repeatedly, healing her again and again and again and beating her into a pulp in the most sadistic way. The pain was inhumane and torturous, and it was enough to drive a person insane.
Shen Yue, however, did not break that easily. She withstood everything and kept trying to fight back. She needed to leave this place or at least inform Liam about this.
Ian and Josh depended on her. They were her friends. She didn't want to let them down and become the cause of their deaths.
She should have sent the message sooner, but how was she supposed to know someone would show up randomly in this remote place?
But still, she should have sent the message sooner. Called for backup. Did something. Tears streamed down Shen Yue's face as she held on, refusing to give up no matter what.
"Heh? How dare a whore like you have so much nerve? Filthy demon garbage. The likes of you should be wiped out from this world. If I ask you to be obedient, stay down like a dog. Else, I wouldn't-"
Before she could finish, a sudden burst of wild, raging flames hit her, completely burning off the robe she was wearing and revealing a set of white lace underwear. Her face betrayed her abhorrence and disgust.
The next second, while she was yet to recover from this shock, another punch landed on her and sent her flying away. When she looked up, she saw a huge fox strutting towards her, her feral eyes locking onto the prey.
And standing next to the fox, was Liam.
On the other side, Shen Yue coughed. But she was no longer struggling. She now only had a small, silly smile on her face as her body slumped down, tired and haggard. Liam was here. Everything was going to be okay.
Boom! The white-robed woman, however, was not done. Another robe appeared around her, covering her body as she jolted off the ground and propelled forward.
"You want to clash head-on with me? Bring it on!"
Liam sent a [Dark Cutter] that he conjured and ran right toward her, not afraid of going toe to toe. The person in front of him clearly had a divine affinity, his worst matchup, but today he was ready to see just how badly he would fare against one of them.
Who would come out on top?
He dashed forward, unsheathing the black dragon sword, whose roar filled the entire hall of the temple. The wind whistled a dangerous tune. For a second, the other side slightly faltered, but the next instant, they continued zooming forward.
Boom!
The two of them collided, and unexpectedly, both of them were pushed back. At the last minute, the white-robed woman had pulled a golden staff out of thin air that absorbed the entire attack, almost.
Liam couldn't believe it. A weapon powerful enough to block his black dragon sword? Who was this person? It couldn't possibly be a player, right? Was he fighting against a divine temple NPC?
He gripped his sword tightly as he felt the fighting spirit of the dragons loudly raging inside. He immediately prepared to attack again.
[Spirit Slash]
The other party also did not stay down and once again dashed forward. This time her entire figure was covered with divine energy strands as she started shining like a dazzling golden star.
Liam could feel his skin burning in the presence of the pure unpolluted energy. He had a feeling this time their impact wouldn't be as smooth as the last time.
He quickly began doing his own enchantment as he started wrapping his body in pure mana. His mana core spun wildly.
Before they could fight, though, a huge fireball hit the woman in the white robes, destroying the divine shield she had forged around herself.
Growl! Luna glared at the enemy. She was also here!
Liam grinned as he continued dashing forward. This was the small opening he needed. He zoomed towards her and slashed down the raging black dragon sword.
The woman once again blocked the attack using her staff, but now extra mana backed him up, and only she was blasted away from the impact. Liam stood steady and tall like a mountain. A dangerously high damage number also popped out.
-10,000
The white-robed woman looked furious. The damage was nothing to her. The humiliation was worse.
With the snap of her finger, she healed herself back to full health. She lifted her head up to see Liam's face as she once again got back on her feet to prepare for the next attack.
However, the person in front of her was standing frozen.
A frown formed on her beautiful face as she stared down the enemy and the vile fox. She could sense the strong death aura from him. Was this an enemy she could handle?
While her mind raced, the opponent was still staring at her? Did he not want to fight anymore?
