Chapter 195: Faye’s Body, Cici’s Regret
Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Faye’s Body, Cici’s Regret
“Friend, I heard you have a Mythic Rank Pure-blood Dragon Clan pet?”
“You might not know, but a Mythic Rank Pure-blood Dragon Clan is very hard to train to its peak. I can offer you a Mythic Rank Arcane Bug in exchange for your pet.”
“Of course, since you’ve already made a contract with that Pure-blood Dragon Clan, I just want its body. Is that okay?”
“If you can’t bring yourself to do it, I can do it for you.”
Rowan stood on the golden lotus, and his smile slowly became more obvious.
Just as he was about to continue explaining how powerful a Mythic Rank Arcane Bug was, he saw Aiden suddenly take a step forward. He pulled out a staff and pointed it at a certain spot.
Rowan’s smile disappeared instantly. He realized that Aiden was pointing directly at the location of his Soundbug!
“Wait, what are you doing?” Rowan suddenly became nervous.
The Soundbug wasn’t very strong in battle, but it had a special role, and they were very rare. Each one was precious.
He quickly tried to control the Soundbug to come back, but it was already too late.
Plop!
Aiden directly used the Abyssthe Flame Demon staff to crush the little golden bug into a pile of meat.
His eyes were cold, and he slowly looked at Rowan.
What the man had said had already made him angry.
To be honest, Faye had been with Aiden longer than anyone else.
Normally, Aiden worked alone.
And Faye always put helping him first, and food second.
Just thinking about Faye becoming a corpse made Aiden feel a sudden, unbearable sadness in his heart.
And after the sadness came a strong anger.
“Look! Cici is matching the Mythic Rank Reclasser!” Suddenly, Vespera’s voice appeared.
Aiden took a deep breath. He was too far from the golden lotus where Insect Valley was. Even if he spoke, they wouldn’t hear him.
He memorized Rowan’s face in his mind.
Of course, right now, Aiden just wanted to give him a little lesson. He wanted that guy to know that some words, once said, could cross a line.
Then, Aiden turned his eyes toward the platform where Cici was fighting.
As a Legendary Rank nature mage, Cici wasn’t as high-ranked as the Mythic Rank Reclasser. But she could use support skills to boost her strength.
Cici’s fighting style was very bold. When the enemy was about to reach her, she didn’t show any panic. She backed up quickly while casting her skills.
But when she used the type of skill she used, Aiden’s eyebrows immediately frowned.
She wasn’t trying to avoid or defend. Instead, she attacked back immediately.
“Blizzard Winter!”
At once, the whole platform was covered in a blizzard. A strong wind blew, and big snowflakes the size of leaves quickly flew through the air.
Every edge of the snowflake gave off a cold, sharp light, looking extremely sharp like a knife.
“Hmph, your class is only Legendary Rank. Do you think you can beat me? It’s totally impossible!” Cici’s opponent sneered, and his speed suddenly increased again.
Cici scoffed and replied, “Is a Legendary Rank class really that weak?”
“Winning with a weaker class is the most exciting thing for the audience!”
“Ice Guardian!” Cici didn’t hesitate. She reached out and caught a snowflake, then squeezed it hard.
Her hand was immediately cut open, and blood quickly flowed out, staining her staff.
Then, the frozen blood suddenly attracted a lot of snowflakes. Four ice guardians, each four meters tall, appeared in an instant in front of the opponent’s path!
“Come on!” Cici shouted excitedly. She actually raised her staff and joined the four ice guardians, ready to fight the enemy up close!
Vespera, who was watching, was slightly surprised. Then she instinctively turned her head toward Aiden.
Because as a team leader, Aiden had planned a strategy to avoid serious injuries. If needed, they could slow things down and end the fight in a draw.
That way, they would lose a little point, but they could keep their strength and the opponent would also lose a little.
Nellie frowned and said slowly, “Cici has changed a lot. She’s completely different from before. But do you think this is okay?”
Aiden knew Nellie was trying to see his reaction.
Honestly, Aiden didn’t really want Cici to fight too fiercely in the early stages.
Even if she won, she would still get hurt.
Then, she would either keep fighting with an injury, get worse, and Robert would step in.
She would lose all her points and give double points to the opponent.
Or, she would refuse to fight after this battle and give the team a few points.
But if she held back and waited for other players to get hurt, the team could get much more points.
Aiden said nothing and watched Cici’s battle quietly.
In the sky, Wendy and Sophia, who were the host and commentator, turned their attention to Cici’s fight.
Wendy said excitedly, “Ladies and gentlemen, Cici, the talented Reclasser from the Great Shaw Empire, is a Legendary Rank nature mage. She’s actually matching a Mythic Rank Reclasser!”
“The Great Shaw Empire’s talent is still strong!”
Sophia said coldly, “The result isn’t decided yet. Although Cici’s performance is a surprise, even if she wins, it’ll be a close call. Her injuries won’t heal quickly.”
“If she played it safe from the start, she’d probably only get a little hurt and end the fight in a draw.”
“Facing a Legendary Rank opponent and getting a draw is already a win for Cici.”
Sophia had analyzed the situation very well.
To get enough points for the team match, the most important thing was to increase their own team’s score and lower the scores of other teams.
She looked at where the Azurecloud Empire team was and nodded in satisfaction. She thought to herself,
“Miles is doing well. If nothing goes wrong, he’ll definitely lead the others into the team match and have a chance to win the championship!”
In the Azurecloud Empire team, there was another player even stronger than Miles, who was holding back.
Sophia turned her eyes to the golden lotus where Aiden was. Her gaze became much colder.
“My goodness, Cici’s close combat skills are no worse than a Mythic Rank Reclasser!”
“The four big ice guardians not only hold the enemy back but also slow them down, giving Cici an advantage in speed!” Wendy quickly explained.
The audience from the Great Shaw Empire erupted into loud cheers.
Cici was trembling, not from fear or nervousness, but from excitement.
She was looking for a good chance to attack while muttering to herself, “Awesome!”
“This feeling is just too good!”
“Haha, come on, let’s make this battle even more exciting!”
Cici seized a mistake from her enemy and immediately continued the attack without hesitation.
But this Mythic Rank talent wasn’t easy to deal with.
Even though his speed was slowed, he still managed to make a lot of wounds on Cici.
However, these wounds were quickly frozen by the cold ice power around her, so they didn’t bleed too much.
“Damn it, you forced me to!” Cici’s opponent roared and suddenly went all out, attacking without holding back.
Their battle was very exciting, and many viewers turned their attention from other platforms to this one.
Aiden, watching this, frowned even more.
Soon, after four minutes, Cici’s battle ended, and she won.
Her body was full of wounds. Her arm holding the staff was shaking, but her face was very excited. She shouted,
“Cheer for me!”
The green leaves slowly moved, and Cici returned to the golden lotus where the Great Shaw Empire team was.
“How was that? My performance was great, right?” Cici smiled and said.
Vespera quickly ran over to support her.
But Aiden simply said, “Next match, you refuse to fight.”
“The rest time is too short. Your injuries are serious. You won’t be able to recover before the next match.”
Cici suddenly froze. She quickly took two steps back and pulled away from Vespera’s help.
She stared at Aiden with wide eyes and argued, “You saw my strength. Beating a Mythic Rank Reclasser is already enough to prove how strong I am!”
“I’m strong. I can still fight in the next match!”
“The audience’s cheers are supporting me!”
“Captain…”
Aiden shook his head calmly and replied, “Your strength was unexpected, that’s true.”
“But you won too hard. You’re injured badly and can’t fight again.”
Cici still wasn’t willing to give up. She bit her lip and tightly held her staff, asking,
“Isn’t winning enough?”
Aiden shook his head and said, “For you personally, it is. But for our team, one win is far from enough.”
At the moment Aiden was speaking, the other matches were also ending.
Aiden walked to the edge of the golden lotus and said calmly, “Now, I’ll take care of the rest.”
