Chapter 875: Isolde
Rima appeared before the green-haired woman. Her glinting coldly, she threw a slap towards her face without any hesitation.
However…
Slap!
Her pupils constricted when the woman, very easily, raised his hand and blocked her. At the same time, she kicked her in the abdomen.
Boom!
Rima saw the attack coming, but she couldn’t dodge it in time, clearly showing the green-haired girl was stronger than her.
The kick landed on her upper abdomen and she was sent flying so fast that before she could utilize her mana and stop the momentum, she had crashed into the restaurant’s stone wall.
She was stuck to the wall, which now had a human-shaped imprint in it, for a moment before she slid down to the ground and lay there unmoving. She wanted to stand up and charge back at her, but she was frozen and couldn’t even breathe.
Step! Step! Step!
The green-haired woman walked over and looked down at her, naked disdain and contempt clear on her face.
“You overestimate yourself, worm!” She coldly spat out the words before raising her leg, ready to stomp Rima.
Seeing this, Rima’s eyes blazed with intense ferocity and her body began to tremble.
Noticing this, the woman sneered, “You think you can break my spell? Pathetic!”
Right as she said this and was about to stomp Rima’s face…
Huuu!
She saw Rima take a deep breath, which made her pupils’ constrict, ’She broke the lock?’
Swoosh!
Rima disappeared from beneath her leg, but she didn’t look bothered.
Then, in the next second…
Bang!
She slammed Rima against the wall, her delicate hand clenched around her neck.
“You really overestimate yourself!” She said in contempt, looking into Rima’s bloodshot eyes. Then, she raised her other hand, “You attempted to slap me, right?”
Swoosh!
Bang!
She swung at Rima, but her slap landed on an Ice shield and shattered it into pieces.
“You dare interfere?” She turned her gaze toward Kayla, who took a deep breath and said, “Lady Isolde, please show some mercy. She had just lost her husband and wasn’t in her right—”
“Does that excuse her impudence?” Lady Isolde coldly interrupted her, her aura flaring and pressing down upon Kayla.
She then raised her hand to slap Rima once more and said, “I dare you to block me again.”
Kayla looked at Rima and felt conflicted.
If she didn’t have to worry about other things that would get complicated after she offended Isolde, she would have done her best to stop her even though she wasn’t a match for her.
Isolde was the daughter of Inner Hall master, a very powerful Monarch Level Mage and someone who commanded very high authority. Because he only had one daughter and several sons, he doted on her the most and whenever she got into any trouble he would take action.
For this reason, people, even stronger than her, often didn’t dare to offend her.
Fortunately, Isolde rarely abused her position. However, she was a very hot headed woman and everyone knew the one thing she couldn’t endure was people disrespecting her father, who she idolized.
Since Rima, although unintentionally, had disrespected him, she knew Isolde wasn’t going to stop until she had vented her anger. If someone tried to stop her, she would attack them too and would view them as her enemy.
Kayla felt helpless.
She hadn’t joined the Beast Emperor Hall to make enemies and create trouble for her family. This was why she avoided butting heads with even Desmond.
’But… Can I just stay still and watch her get humiliated?’ She thought and immediately got her answer.
’I’m sorry Dad…’ She muttered in her heart, her expression becoming determined. If she couldn’t even help her friend, how would she help her family?
Immediately, she circulated her mana, about to conjure an ice shield.
However, before she could do that…
Shua!
A figure appeared beside Isolde and grabbed Isolde’s hand mid swing.
Isolde narrowed her eyes and looked at the new arrival.
“Meredith!” She coldly spat before letting out a growl, “Let go!”
Meredith stared at her, her expression indifferent, “You let go. Fighting outside the arena is against the rules.”
“The hell with your rules. I’m not stopping today without punishing this impudent worm.” Isolde barked and flared her aura, trying to wring her hand free off her grasp.
However, she failed which angered her even more.
“Do you really want to go against me?” She asked,
“No. I’m just asking you to follow the rules.” Meredith calmly said. “I’m sure the Hall Master would also not like it if you so blatantly break the rules.”
Isolde stared at her and Meredith met her gaze, completely unperturbed.
“Good.” He said through gritted teeth and released Rima’s neck, causing her fall to the floor.
Meredith looked down at her and seeing she wasn’t able to move, she frowned at Isolde, “Aren’t you going to release your spell?”
“You wish!” Isolde scowled, pulled her hand out of Meredith’s now loosened grasp and walked out of the restaurant.
Meredith watched her leave and sighed. Then, she waved her hand and made Rima float in an upright position in front of her.
Placing a hand on her forehead, she released her aura and guided her mana carefully… and soon, Rima regained her mobility.
Wiping the blood off her mouth, Rima adjusted her robes, and took a deep breath before she bowed her head lightly toward Meredith, “Thank you, Elder Sister.
“Just be careful.” Meredith indifferently said before disappearing from the place.
Kayla came over and asked, “You alright?”
“Mhm.” Rima nodded, her expression and voice completely calm, “Can you tell me about her, the green-haired woman?”
Kayla nodded and glanced at the people staring at them, “Should we go change the place?”
Rima shook her head, “No. There is no need. Besides, we have yet to eat.”
Saying this, Rima walked back to her table and calmly took her seat, completely ignoring the looks people were giving her.
Kayla couldn’t help but feel some admiration toward her for this.
“M-Milady. Are you alright?” Nia hesitantly asked.
“Mm. Don’t worry.” Rima nodded and after Kayla took her seat, she tapped the table a few times, each time releasing her mana that took the shape of a formless barrier around their table. Then she looked at her.
Without wasting any time, Kayla began speaking, “She is the only daughter of Inner Hall Master, ranked 3rd on the Silver Rankings…”
