Chapter 154: Advanced Knight, Pace

The moment Ron saw who the Knight was, his face turned serious in an instant.

It was the famous advanced knight of the Imperial Capital, Pace!

Not only did he have great strength, but he had also single-handedly killed a tier 7 magic beast and was able to do so unscathed.

Such terrifying strength made Ron couldn’t help but worry.

Alan’s heart sank. He had originally intended to make the two parties fight so that he could take the opportunity to obtain the perfume formula, but according to the current situation and the most possible development, it was likely that Prince Seidan’s party would have a crushing victory.

Pace’s gaze was cold, an invisible aura flowing around his body. It was an aura that could only be emitted after being dyed in blood from killings, and it made people unconsciously tremble at the bottom of their hearts.

However, Thor was unmoved. There was not a hint of panic on her exquisite little face.

“Why are we fighting? I did say that you can discuss the business with my Master after he wakes up. If you are not willing to wait, you can just leave.”

Thor was reluctant to fight because she was afraid that the noise would disturb Eddie’s sleep.

Hearing this, Pace’s expression became even colder. He said expressionlessly, “I will give you two choices now. One, agree to what I said just now. Fight with me. If I win, you go and get your Master. If you win, then we will wait for your Master to wake up. Or the second choice, I will bring the Knight Corps and rush into the castle this very instant. Since you are not willing to go get your Master, then the Knight Corps will do it for you!”

His words could be said to be very overbearing. It was not up to Thor whether she wanted to fight or not.

If it were not for the Ten Commandments of the Knights, Pace would probably be too lazy to even say all this to her now.

For a moment, the area outside the castle was filled with a subtle aura. Everyone looked at Thor with a teasing expression.

Even Alan was stunned by Pace’s overbearing words. Although he had seen Thor make a move before, he did not think that Thor could beat Pace.

Because Pace was the glory of the Royal Knights!

His name was a legend in the Imperial Capital. Ever since Pace entered the Knight Corps, he had never lost. Even when facing tier 7 magic beasts, he was still unharmed.

“Can you represent the people behind you?” Thor was a little angry, and her tone had become ambiguous.

Pace turned his head slightly to look at Prince Seidan. Although he was powerful, he was only a knight. The one who had the right to speak was still Prince Seidan.

“Of course he can represent us. I guarantee it on the Royal Family’s reputation,” Prince Seidan smiled and gave Pace a look that said “yes”.

It was obvious that he had great confidence in Pace. Otherwise, he would not have used the Royal Family’s reputation as a guarantee.

“Fine then, I agree.”

Thor was quite annoyed. She really did not want to disturb Eddie’s sleep, but this group of people was too annoying. She had no choice but to agree.

Hearing Thor’s words, Prince Seidan was overjoyed. He tried his best to suppress the joy on his face, and this made his current expression look a little sick.

He was very worried that Thor wouldn’t agree, because if Thor didn’t agree, he really didn’t have any better ideas for the time being.

As for Pace’s words about leading the Knight Corps to charge into the castle, that was obviously an empty threat.

As the Royalty of the Country of Langham, he could not do such a thing, at least not openly.

Moreover, the Knight Corps had their commandments, which prevented many of the knights from really charging into the castle.

After Pace obtained Prince Seidan’s affirmations, he said to Thor confidently, “You go first, lest you say that I’m a bully.”

Autumn and Hermione looked at Pace with some sympathy and shook their heads with amusement.

Were these people masochists? Why were they here one after another to look for a good beating?

Thor was very much annoyed by these people. Her beautiful face was currently expressionless.

She looked at Pace coldly. An extremely powerful aura spread out from her body, making everyone present feel suffocated.

Pace looked at the maidservant in front of him with interest and had no inkling that danger was coming.

“Is that all you can do?” He naturally felt the suffocation, but it didn’t affect him.

Thus Pace took no notice of the feeling his body was telling him. Maybe she was casting some rare spell?

The moment Autumn and Hermione heard Pace’s words, they were speechless. Was this person really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

As for Thor, when she heard Pace’s words, her current actions paused and she looked at Pace with a strange look in her eyes. Then, she quietly stopped what she was doing and changed her method of attack.

“Oh shit, Thor is angry,” Autumn said with pity when she saw this scene.

Wisps of golden combat aura surrounded Thor’s graceful body, as if it was going to assimilate the air.

A huge amount of energy was gathering around her. The terrifying aura was enough to destroy more than half of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

The Knight Corps behind Prince Seidan also seemed to have sensed that something was off. All of them released their combat aura and held their longsword upright in their hands, protecting Prince Seidan behind them. Some of the support mages also entered combat mode immediately.

Pace finally realized that something was wrong. The confidence on his face disappeared and was replaced with solemness and a hint of fear.

However, as a knight, he could not back down. Therefore, he released his combat aura, which was also golden in color.

Compared to Thor’s combat aura though, Pace’s combat aura was a much lighter shade of gold.

Boom!

A huge beam of golden energy smashed toward Pace. The speed was so fast that no one could see it with their naked eyes.

Pace did not even have time to react before he was smashed into the Magic Beast Mountain Range by this beam of golden energy.

No one had the time to care about Pace because the beam of energy was simply too terrifying. Although it was not targeted at them, the aftershock still made them fearful.

The knights and mages with Prince Seidan unleashed their full strength almost at once. They unleashed their strength without holding back to resist the aftershock brought by this beam of golden energy.

Alan was also frightened and immediately ran behind the knights.

When the aftershock of the energy dissipated, Thor clapped her hands in satisfaction and revealed a satisfied smile. She then said, “Please do remember the promise you made just now.”

Prince Seidan turned around to look for Pace’s figure, but there was nothing but a huge trench behind him.

He knew that Pace had lost, without even having the chance to resist.

That was an advanced knight who could kill tier 7 magic beasts. He was a genius knight who had never lost in his life.

Yet his life was ended just like that?

Prince Seidan looked at the little girl in front of him with fear, his back wet with cold sweat.

It was hard to imagine that a maidservant in a small castle had such terrifying strength.

Prince Seidan was not the only one swallowed by fear. The knights felt the same. Their hands holding onto their swords were trembling as if a breeze could blow them away.

Some of the weaker knights even collapsed on the ground.
