n“Make him pay with his life?”

nAlice looked at Emerald Sage Steel with a gaze akin to someone observing a person with an intellectual disability.

nA man who called her Master, seemed powerful but apparently lacked real skill, was actually demanding William’s life?

nWasn’t this just seeking trouble deliberately?

nGaren frowned slightly, saying, “Of course! If you kill someone, you must pay the price! In the world of Soulmancers, it’s only right to pay with your life!”

nAlthough this woman before him was extraordinarily strong, someone of her caliber shouldn’t be protecting a novice Soulmancer.

nAfter all, in Garen’s eyes, the strength of a novice Soulmancer was no different from that of an ant. Alice, being even stronger, should care even less about someone else’s life.

n“I don’t care about your demand for his life. I came here today to fight you.” Alice didn’t want to bother with the details. William had called her over to fight, and as for this man wanting William to pay with his life, as long as he had the ability to enforce it, she would let him be.

n“So, you mean… you’re standing up for him, Master?” Garen gritted his teeth and asked, “Just a novice Soulmancer, what does the Master see in him?”

nAs the two talked, everyone around them was completely baffled.

nThe Guild Master of Emerald Lion calling Alice ‘Master’?

nAnd Alice acting so arrogantly, could she really be some hidden expert?

n“I like him… he’s handsome!” Alice didn’t want to waste words, “Since you’re calling me Master, I’ll let you make the first move!” Saying so, the Sword of Soulbreaker transformed into a wooden sword and landed in her hand, held at an angle behind her. 𝘪𝘳.𝘤𝑜

n“…” Garen, also holding his divine sword, watched Alice cautiously. 𝘪𝑎.

nFlaws!

nAll flaws!

nAlthough the energy emanating from Alice was pure, the way she stood there, her whole body seemed full of openings.

nTwo voices echoed in Garen Steel’s heart.

nThe first voice told him that he could kill this woman with a single stroke of his sword.

nThe second voice warned him not to draw his sword, for if he did, he would surely die!

nHow could such a situation arise?

nGaren, as a fearless warrior who had never hesitated to draw his sword against any formidable opponent, found himself shaking internally in just a short moment.

nAlice stood there, looking somewhat impatiently at Garen.

nShe simply regarded Garen as someone who appeared strong but lacked real skill, and didn’t take him seriously at all.

nHow formidable could someone be who called her Master upon meeting?

nHe’s even starting to sweat on his forehead.

nTsk tsk!

nHe looked like a master when he was flying in the air just now, but it turns out he’s all show and no substance. It looks like she could solve this in one move!

n“Are you going to draw your sword or not?” Alice rubbed her temples with some irritation, not understanding what her master was thinking, calling her all this way to fight such a rookie…

nHuh?

nSomething’s off!

nA glimmer of realization flashed in Alice’s eyes.

nCould it be…

nLetting her fight this battle is just an excuse, and the real reason her master called her was that he missed her?

nHehehe!

nAlice was certain now. William must have missed her but was just too shy to say it.

nThinking this, Alice couldn’t help but curve her lips into a small smile.

nA girl’s face often uncontrollably reveals her thoughts on such matters, after all, Alice wasn’t like William, who could keep everything hidden inside.

nHer smile only increased the pressure on Garen, who was standing opposite her.

nHis hand holding the sword even trembled uncontrollably for a moment.

nThat smile…

nIf I draw my sword, I fear I might fall here today!

nBut if he couldn’t even draw his sword against a strong opponent, then this woman would forever become his nightmare, a shadow in his heart.

nWhat should he decide?

nGaren clenched his teeth. After ascending to Demi-God level strength, in theory, he shouldn’t fear anyone anymore.

nBut…

nNow he found himself unable to use even a trace of his secret sword technique.

nDraw the sword!

nA look of resignation flashed in Garen’s eyes. Even if it meant death, he should draw his sword!

nEven if he couldn’t gather a shred of energy, he must draw his sword.

nGaren raised his hand and thrust his sword forward.

nThis thrust had no energy concentration at all, let alone unleashing any secret sword technique.

nBut a Demi-God level warrior’s speed was so fast that Alice couldn’t see his movement.

nJust a moment ago, Garen was standing 30 feet away, and before Alice could react, Garen’s sword had already thrust past her neck, half an inch away.

nGulp!

nGaren swallowed hard,?quickly retreated several feet, bowed to Alice, and said anxiously and fearfully, “Master, I have offended you. Regarding today’s matter, our Emerald Lion Guild will no longer pursue it. Please forgive us.”

nAlice still didn’t understand what had happened. Just now…

nDid he come close to her?

nShe hadn’t even seen Garen draw his sword. She only saw him suddenly appear in front of her, bowing, and then asking for her forgiveness…

n“Aren’t you going to fight anymore?” Alice was a bit puzzled. She hadn’t even made a move yet and wasn’t sure if William would be satisfied with her performance.

nThere seemed to be no performance at all.

nGaren sheathed his sword, hanging his head, and said, “No more fighting! Thank you for your mercy in not killing me.”

nAlice’s mouth twitched slightly, wondering what she had actually done.

nIt seemed her strength had reached a level where she could win without fighting.

nOr perhaps, she now possessed the demeanor of a ruler, her mere presence forcing enemies to bow in submission!

n“If you’re not fighting, then forget it!” Alice said, putting away the Sword of Soulbreaker, and then walked over to William, whispering, “How was that? My performance just now wasn’t bad, right?”

n“It was okay, I guess.” William could hardly stop himself from rolling his eyes.

nIt seemed this Demi-God level guy had been scared out of his wits.

nIt wasn’t really his fault, after all, with Alice holding the Sword of Soulbreaker, no sword in the world could pierce her.

nGaren had finally mustered the courage to thrust his sword, only for the divine sword in his hand to veer off course inexplicably.

nWith Alice looking calm and composed, doing nothing, she was naturally perceived by Garen as an unparalleled warrior.

nWith even his sword out of his control, in Garen’s mind, Alice’s strength had reached an unimaginable level.

n“Master… then may I take my leave?” Garen even hesitated to leave without permission, standing at a distance and asking for consent.

nAlice waved her hand, saying, “Bye! Actually, the way you were flying in the air just now was quite impressive.”

n“…” Garen felt as if an arrow had struck his heart. Impressive in flying?

nThat was just mocking! After Alice’s appearance, he couldn’t even manage to fly, which truly defined a real powerhouse!

nGaren gave Alice and William a deep look. This novice Soulmancer was incredibly lucky to have won the favor of such an extraordinary powerhouse with just a handsome face.

nHe didn’t dare to stay longer, leading the Emerald Lion Guild members to leave dejectedly.

nSince Alice’s arrival, all the Soulmancers who had been flying had fallen to the ground, but they still thought it was Garen’s doing.
