Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 352

After sending his attack flying at the girl, Davis turned around to face the demon noble who still had a smile on his face for some reason. Thinking of it as nothing, he was just about to finish what he started, when Vovues who was beside him suddenly cautioned.

Immediately, Davis shifted his attention towards the sky to see an unbelievable sight.

Even after taking an all-out attack from him, the girl was still standing unscathed and perfectly fine in the same spot.

“Did you think a pathetic attack of this level would even be able to touch me? Brat, I wonder where this confidence of yours to challenge I, Adalinda stems from”.

Adalinda stated with her cold callous eyes that could give chills to anyone. She looked up and spotted the huge twofold magic circle silently rotating in the sky.

“Perhaps because of this”.

The moment those words came out of her mouth, she extended her hand and pinched towards the sky. At that instant, every watching eyes to their disbelief, could see the sky being shattered in half along with the huge magic circle.

The sky above the city had a huge crack that refused to disappear for quite a while. Everyone present in the coliseum, was silent for a good long while, they only came back to themselves when they heard Sir Davis coughing out a mouthful of blood.

Having his magic circle shattered ruthlessly like that, gave him quite the backlash and severely disturbed the flow of mana inside his body leading to him coughing out mouthfuls of blood.

Barely stabilising himself, Davis glanced back in the sky, this time with dread in his eyes. He couldn’t believe that the little girl would be able to break his magic circle with just the pinch of her hand as if it was some persimmon.

Vouves beside him also had a pale face, from that previous exchange, he could tell that the strength of the other party was far beyond what they can even imagine. He observed the little girl carefully and tried to recall any information he had about her but ultimately came out with nothing.

Though he knew nothing about her, he still felt that it was in their best interest not to earn her ire any more.

“Snort… I guess that puts you in your place. You are lucky that I’m in a good mood or else snuffing your life would be as easy as squashing an ant for me”.

After ruthlessly stomping on the face of Davis in front of hundreds of thousands of people, she shifted her attention to Simon.

“What are you still standing there for, come back here” she commanded.

Simon did not have any reason to refuse, unfurled his wings and flew up. Now that he has used multiple skills and even ignited his ancestral symbol, the repercussion he would suffer after the duration ends would make him unable to continue standing. He had to get to a safe place before that.

Seeing the demon casually fly away, Davis hesitated for a while and after much contemplation, he decided to speak up. He believed that the other party destroying his two-fold magic circle was just to showcase the vast difference in their strength, he did not believe that the other party would kill him knowing his background.

“A minute please, this esteemed guest. I don’t know what your relationship with that demon noble is but he has broken the treaty by invading the kingdom of Ellesmere and even attacked its prince and severely injured a participant. Our Adventurer’s Association cannot simply just overlook it, we must punish this demon for this aggression. I hope you understand”.

With his words, he reminded the other party of the ancient treaty and that they were in the right, while at the same time making it seem like the severity of the situation was more than what it looked.

Davis smiled, he knew that after this the other party cannot just simply take the Demon Noble away since doing so would make it seem like the little girl was making light of the treaty and the adventurer’s Association at the same time.

However, what he didn’t know was that Adalinda simply did not care about all of that.

Lucine who watching all of this from high up in the sky couldn’t control her laugh.

“What an idiot. To think that he would try to threaten a member of the race that enforced the very same treaty with it.”

Adalinda had an irritated face from the start to finish, she was doing her best not to kill this ant who kept on pestering about irrelevant things. With her intelligence, how could she not see what the other guy was plotting? This seemed to infuriate her even more.

She sighed audibly, turned her attention back on Davis and stared at him as if he was a dead person.

“From that moment you have been continuously spouting nonsense. It seems that keeping you alive was a big mistake. Let me do you a favour and help you shut your mouth forever”.

Her cold and indifferent words just sounded out when her hands swung down in a cleaving motion. Davis had a hard time understanding her words but before he could even contemplate on it further, his body was frozen stiff by an aura of death that came swinging its scythe on him.

“Tempest Magic Mastery- [Materialise Zephyrus]” Vouves roared out loud and used every bit of his skills and mana to create a huge emerald bird made of wind.

The attack that can tear apart the very firmament of space, collided with the huge bird and in front of every gobsmacked eyes, was cleaved in half before exploding out in a big boom.

BOOOOMMMM…

The resulting energy storm was so ridiculous that it could have potentially wiped out the whole capital if not for the fact that turbulent energy was wreaking havoc in the sky. Though it wasn’t like the capital had suffered no damage, many buildings collapsed and people were knocked out unconscious.

The coliseum similarly had suffered severe damage, and its conditions was in ruins. Other than a few high-levelled people, most of the spectators were blown back and rendered unconscious by the aftermath.

After the dust from the destruction settled down, two people who looked extremely miserable could be seen rolling on the ground, barely able to stand again. They had a terrified look in their face and a body covered in injuries.

The two people were none other than Davis Hall and Vouves. At this moment, the whole of the main stage was gone and they were pushed back into the ground by hundreds of meters.

Davis was stupefied, that attack earlier would have taken his life if not for the timely intervention from his friend. But even then, the most Vouves could do was stop the attack from landing on the capital knowing full well what would have been the consequences otherwise.

He had misjudged the entire situation, the other party wasn’t someone he can afford to anger and more so hackle with them. He was almost about to lose his life for that and had endangered the whole capital along with him.

Adalinda looked at the sight of destruction and clicked her tongue, she did not attack further nor did she comment anything. She glanced at the two miserable old men before slowly flying away.

Simon silently followed behind her, he glanced back at the coliseum and deeply etched everything that had happened today in his heart.

The accusation, pain, humiliation and everything else he had to suffer, was because he was weak. He was so powerless that Adalinda had to intervene on his behalf. If not for the fact that she had arrived in the capital in time, Simon would have likely been captured today or forced to use the return transit rock.

“Thank you” he expressed his gratitude on their way out of the capital. Adalinda simply snorted and did not say much in return.

Back in the coliseum, everyone sighed in relief after they saw the little girl, the incarnation of destruction, go away. For the first time in their life, they felt the threat of death clearer than ever. Had the attack landed on the coliseum, they had no doubt that they would have perished.

“Who would have thought an officer of the Adventurer’s Association and a powerful Ranker of the Sanguine empire would be reduced to this state by just a little girl” Scott green said, fear apparent in his words.

“Power dictates everything, it gives you the right to decide other’s fate and allows you to look down upon the world. As long as you have power, you can do anything” Benny Beckermann clenched his fists and said.

“You said that he is the very same man you have met in the city of Mountmend right? Then that means the dungeon that recently appeared in the ghastly winding forest is his?” a peculiar glint flashed in his eyes.

Scott looked at the guild master of Sea God’s trident and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“You don’t plan on chasing after that demon do you? Did you not see what happened to those two when they tried to go against her? As long as she is with him, forget about getting the information out of that demon, you won’t even be able to go near him”.

Hearing those words, Benny Beckerman looked back at him with a smile.

“Do you really believe a Demon Viscount could possibly have someone like that little girl whose level is higher than those two old fogies as his guardian?”
