They were all extremely exhausted.

"If all else fails, we'll go find some other companions..."

Before Alexia could finish speaking, her expression shifted slightly.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

Heavy footsteps sounded, and at the end of the pile of corpses, a figure appeared.

The figure was completely shrouded in armor.

The opponent was not tall, but with each step he took, his aura increased, as if he were coming on top of a tidal wave.

"This is bad."

Alexia instinctively gripped her longsword tighter, her knuckles turning slightly white.

Strong enemy.

An absolutely formidable opponent.

The power of the person before them was such that even someone like Rex couldn't compare to him.

even.

It gave her the illusion of being in the presence of some senior relatives or elders.

She turned her head, wanting to say something to Shirley, but then paused slightly.

At this moment, Shirley's hands were trembling and her pupils were contracting; something was clearly wrong.

"Shirley, what's wrong?"

Shirley didn't say anything, but said in a trembling voice, "Is it...is it you?"

"I didn't expect you to recognize me."

The visitor sighed, removed his mask, and revealed an old face.

"Ruslan Burnett?"

The moment Alexia saw the other person, she let out a gasp.

"It really is..."

Sherry was somewhat distraught, completely unable to understand why her adoptive father, who was the headmaster of the academy, would commit such an act of massacring the Demon Sword Academy.

The moment the other party appeared, the demon's senses detected that something was wrong.

After all, she was extremely familiar with Ruslan.

But in my heart...

It's hard to believe.

But now that the facts are before us, we have no choice but to believe them.

"I should be the one who's surprised. I never expected that someone as frail as you would possess such strength."

A look of surprise flashed in Ruslan's eyes.

Actually, he had been here for a while.

I witnessed Alexia and Sherry's battle firsthand.

He couldn't understand.

What exactly happened to cause such a dramatic change in the strength of a seemingly useless princess and Sherry?

and.....

Both clearly possess some peculiar abilities.

"None of that matters."

Alexia warned, "As the vice-dean of the academy, you've let a wolf into the house. Shouldn't you offer some explanation?"

"Haha, are you questioning me?"

Ruslan laughed loudly, but his answer was completely unrelated: "In the past, I stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, a realm that ordinary people could not comprehend even in their entire lives."

"You're trying to say you won at the Martial God Festival, right?"

Alexia frowned and said, "Everyone knows this."

"I'm not talking about the Martial God Festival."

"After all, that kind of competition doesn't really count as the pinnacle."

As they talked, Ruslan took off his armor.

"But even if you defeat all the swordsmen, you still cannot defeat the disease."

"From then on, I began to look for ways to cure my illness."

"Finally, I found hope in the ancient artifacts, and the person studying them was Shirley's mother."

“I support her research and hope it will be rewarded.”

"One day, I finally found the Eye of Greed that I had been dreaming of, but that woman actually wanted to hand it over to the state for management because of its danger."

Shirley's pupils contracted slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart. She subconsciously asked, "What did you do to Mother?"

"Of course we killed him, starting with his limbs and then twisting his heart."

"And you, you know nothing, you have no doubts, and you continue to do the research that belongs to your mother."

"It's so cute it's almost silly."

Ruslan laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.

It turned out to be so.

Is this the truth?

Despite her long-standing suspicions, she was not close to this so-called adoptive father.

but.....

The reality was even crueler than she had imagined.

A deep glint flashed in Shirley's eyes.

"Since you've admitted it..."

"Then they must have been prepared to be killed."

Kill! Kill! Kill! Even if it costs me everything, I must kill this man in front of me.

boom!

The magic erupted suddenly, enveloping his entire body.

Her figure flashed like a streak of light as she lunged directly at Ruslan, activating [Eye of Stillness].

but!

Ruslan reacted instantly, moving only for a moment before part of his body was out of her sight.

what?

Shirley's expression tightened, and she immediately dodged away, trying to create distance and broaden her field of vision.

but....

Ruslan followed closely, wielding his magically imbued longsword and unleashing an explosion.

His purpose was not to attack, but rather the rising smoke and dust that made his figure appear and disappear.

at the same time.

Alexia has already made her move.

With a swing of her longsword, a chilling aura poured out like a cold tide, completely enveloping Ruslan.

In the blink of an eye

Ruslan's figure had shown signs of freezing, but he forcibly shattered it with magic.

However, this was only a very short time.

Sherry has been completely out of Ruslan's attack range, and the situation is temporarily out of danger.

Chapter 357 Is that all the skill you've got?

"Your technique is good, but unfortunately, this level of cold air poses no threat at all under my magical defense."

Ruslan glanced at Alexia, then finally fixed his gaze on Sherry.

"And you, your strange ability is indeed pretty much what I predicted."

"As long as the body doesn't come into your complete line of sight, it can be immune to your abilities."

His body constantly shifted position, giving Sherry no chance to activate [Eye of Stillness].

"hateful....."

Shirley clenched her fists, but there was nothing she could do.

After all.

The gap in strength between the two sides is simply too great.

If he could be stronger.

How could the other person so easily avoid her gaze?

"Shirley, don't be impulsive. This is no longer an opponent we can handle."

"767," Alexia grabbed Sherry's arm: "Let's leave it to the master."

"Ah."

Shirley nodded.

Although he was furious about his mother's death, he was not blinded by anger.

next moment.

Her magic has already resonated with the barrier within her body.

This is one of the methods Linde left inside them.

The barrier will automatically activate in the event of a fatal crisis.

and.

Once they actively exert influence on it, Lind can sense it.

To be precise, A箘韭零咝镏奇爸陾罢.

This should be an emergency distress signal.

hum!

There was a flash of light.

Lind and Rhodes appeared out of thin air.

Forehead. . . . .

A flicker of disbelief crossed Rhodes' eyes.

what's the situation?

How did we end up here in the blink of an eye?

"Master, what happened?"

“Your companions are in danger, so I came here.”

Linde replied casually.

companion?

She blinked and subconsciously looked at Sherry and Alexia.
