Chapter 50: 50 - Seraphine vs King [1]

King had read this kind of threat plenty of times in novels. Since Seraphine had said this, of course she had no intention of letting him live. But he was the one who could decide things here, not her.

"Hmph, you can fool a child, but don’t even think about fooling me."

There was still plenty of time, so King didn’t need to rush into action. He wanted to see what other tricks this female lead still had up her sleeve to deal with him.

"I’m not lying. I’m the greatest genius of the academy. My reputation has never given anyone cause to doubt me. I absolutely don’t do deceitful things."

Seraphine put on a serious face. Her words reeked of righteousness, but they couldn’t convince King even a little.

"If you kill me and erase the evidence, then to everyone else, you still never lied, right? Want to fool me? Train for another hundred years."

King raised his chin and looked at her with half an eye. He had the arrogant, self-satisfied look of someone who believed he could see through people’s hearts.

His arrogance made it impossible for an angry person like Seraphine to hold back. She gritted her teeth, the veins on her forehead bulging. Since talking didn’t work, she could only fight.

While King was proudly lifting his chin, Seraphine poured all her strength into unleashing a powerful ice spell.

The ground in front of her instantly froze solid, and sharp spikes of ice grew out of the ground at an extremely fast speed.

This magic was like a wave of frost swallowing everything in its path. Grass, trees, insects... everything was frozen solid.

Faced with this ’powerful’ move, King suddenly came up with a new idea. This time, he didn’t even bother dodging and instead raised Elias up as a shield.

Seraphine’s furious gaze instantly turned wide-eyed. She never expected King to use such a shameless trick.

The sharp ice spikes rushing toward King suddenly came to a stop. The narrowest distance between the ice spikes and Elias was less than a handspan.

"You bastard! How can you be so shameless?"

It was the first time her spell had ever been interrupted, and Seraphine was so angry that she stomped her feet. Everyone who had fought her before had always been very ’chivalrous’, so she had never witnessed such a ’dirty’ fighting style.

She had studied in an overly good environment, so when faced with this situation, she almost couldn’t react in time. If she weren’t a genius, Elias would probably be an ’ice hedgehog’ by now.

"Shameless? Slandering others will get you punished, you know."

Even though she cursed at him, this time King didn’t frown but instead grinned.

Seraphine’s ’innocence’ really made him want to know what kind of environment she had grown up and studied in.

This wasn’t a sport after all, and the two of them weren’t two fighters competing for a championship belt.

With his current mindset, in a battle where someone would definitely die, dignity was worth nothing. Only victory was the most important thing.

Of course, here, only Seraphine wanted to kill King. As for King, he wasn’t going to kill the female lead over such a trivial reason.

The Heavenly Dao of this world had welcomed him so warmly, so he shouldn’t mess up the ’plot’.

"Put Elias down. Let’s have a fair and square fight. Whoever runs away is a piece of trash."

Seeing Elias in King’s hand, Seraphine had no choice but to use this provocation. But she didn’t have much hope because it was really too easy to see through.

"Fine! Whoever runs away is a coward."

Contrary to common sense, King actually put Elias down on the ground and pointed his sword at Seraphine. This ’brilliantly intelligent’ move of his shocked both Seraphine and the system.

[Master! Don’t fall for her provocation.]

"What trap did I fall for? Anyone can see through this. I have to teach her a lesson. In the face of absolute power, all schemes are useless."

This time, King only spoke softly to the system. After all, letting Seraphine hear it would probably affect the ’quality of education’.

[Master, teaching her a lesson is fine, but you should know your limits. What if the Heavenly Dao punishes you? That would be a huge problem. I’m not afraid, but suddenly having a huge problem to deal with isn’t a good thing either.]

The system respected the Heavenly Dao of other worlds, but it really wasn’t afraid. Even if it couldn’t beat them, it was very confident in its ability to take King and escape somewhere else.

"I know. I’m your master, not an idiot."

The system was too talkative, which annoyed King a little, so he stopped listening. King’s eyes were now focused on only one target, Seraphine.

"You left him right there, so how am I supposed to fight?"

Even though King had put Elias down, the distance between the two of them was still too close, so Seraphine couldn’t attack. At that distance, King could completely keep using Elias as a shield whenever he wanted.

"Hmph, you’re talking too much."

King snorted, his expression extremely annoyed, but he still did as she said.

When he moved fifty meters away from Elias, a sharp chunk of ice shot toward him like a bullet.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing that Elias was in a safe place, Seraphine immediately launched a sneak attack. To her, King was a shameless bastard, so she didn’t necessarily have to respect him like a mage.

"Tsk, you really dare to sneak attack me?"

King’s eyebrows furrowed, his hand raised as he prepared to unleash a divine skill to teach her a lesson. But halfway through, he changed his mind.

Rank IV fighting rank II, and he needs a divine skill? Forget about a divine skill, he didn’t even need the Heavenly Dao Swordsman state to fight her.

Faced with the chunk of ice flying as fast as a bullet, King’s aura didn’t increase but instead decreased.

The moment he tilted his body to dodge, his white hair turned black, and the Heavenly Dao Sword turned into a rusty sword.

After fighting Cerberus and the mages of the Grey clan, King looked disheveled. Now that he was no longer in the Heavenly Dao Swordsman state, he looked even more disheveled.

Seeing her enemy suddenly turn into a bastard who looked even dirtier and more damnable, yet could still dodge her attack with ease, Seraphine’s face twisted as if she had swallowed a fly.
