Chapter 142 The Dark Curtain That Blocks the Way Ahead
Austin jumped up and stepped back to adjust his position, and Minerva took the opportunity to launch a magical attack.
"ha!"
Brenda immediately rushed forward and cut Minerva's magic in half with one sword. At that moment, white smoke filled the air, and Austin took the opportunity to rush out.
Erwin was shocked when Austin suddenly appeared in front of him, but he raised his rapier desperately to fight. However, he was not strong enough and was knocked away, sitting heavily on the ground.
"What's wrong? Still want to fight me?"
As Austin glared at him fiercely, Erwin began to tremble in fear.
“Ah, ah…ah…”
Erwin could only make a sound like a dream, and even dropped his rapier. In response, Minerva said in an impatient and cold voice: "What are you daydreaming about? Do you want to be burned to charcoal by magic?"
Erwin's body shook violently, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he finally cried out, "Don't... please~~~~"
"No crying allowed. If you try to run away, I will attack you with magic immediately, so it would be better for you to stand up quickly."
“Woo woo~!”
Under Minerva's sharp gaze, Erwin completely lost his temper. Austin finally couldn't help it and roared with a twisted face: "Enough, Minerva! A princess of a country is threatening people. I will never allow this!"
"It is wrong for you to resist. We royal family should naturally be obeyed by our subordinates. Isn't this a matter of course?"
Minerva shook her head as if puzzled. The anger on Austin's face disappeared and turned into an expression of astonishment.
(What happened? It has reached a point where it cannot be undone...)
Austin was overwhelmed with regret. Whether he really didn't realize it or just pretended not to notice it was unknown. But he was sure of one thing.
(I will defeat her mercilessly. As a brother, I will make her clear her wrongdoings!)
Thinking that was all he could do, Austin raised his sword. Brenda also prepared to fight, but Austin stepped forward and shouted, "Let me do this. This is what I should do!"
Although Brenda was surprised, she relaxed her stance. However, she was still ready to sprint at any time in case of any emergency.
"Here I come, Minerva!"
Austin stood up. Erwin's body trembled, and Minerva's cold voice sounded: "Go."
“Gah, Gahhhhhhh!!”
Erwin screamed and rushed forward, but Austin easily knocked his rapier away and punched him in the abdomen. Erwin fell down.
"Tsk, it's useless."
Minerva smacked her lips and released the magic, but Austin deftly cut it in two with his sword.
"Varied……!"
Austin roared and rushed in front of her. But -
“Quack!”
Suddenly, electricity flows through Austin's body, and although he falls to his knees, he barely avoids unconsciousness. What on earth has happened? Austin and Brenda are confused by this sudden change.
At this moment, Minerva smiled, closed her eyes and spoke. "You are late."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
From the shadows of the stairs, an elven man in a white robe emerged. This man was very familiar to Austin.
“Biz…”
"Hey, it's been a long time, Master Austin."
Bizzie gave him a sly smile, and Austin clicked his tongue inwardly.
(I was fooled...)
Austin and Brenda realized it instantly. They had fallen into each other's control. If the electric current just released was a trap set by Biz. And Biz was hiding in the shadow of the stairs from the beginning.
Minerva and Biz were both laughing. They were like children who had successfully pulled off a prank, smiling with satisfaction. If only their eyes weren't so cloudy.
Austin and Brenda frowned and raised their swords again.
"Oh, this atmosphere is really tense."
"Indeed. I wish you could calm down a little."
After hearing what Biz and Minerva said, Austin and Brenda felt whose fault it was. Seeing the anger gradually accumulating between the two, Biz quietly raised the corner of his mouth.
“So, what’s next?”
After returning to Panna Forest, Xu Zhen and his friends confirmed the safety of the killer tigers and discussed future plans.
In the forest, many monsters that had sensed something unusual and fled into this place gathered in several places. Even though they saw Xu Zhen and the others, these monsters showed no signs of attacking. It was unclear whether it was because they were getting along well with the killer tigers or if they had been frightened and had lost their fighting spirit.
"Though it would be best to stay here quietly until things calm down..."
“But there seems to be someone who doesn’t want to do this…”
Courtney and Alicia sat quietly, constantly observing the anxious Ceder.
At this time, a wild killer eagle flew down to talk to Lati. It was conducting reconnaissance, and when Xu Zhen and his team arrived in the forest, it was Lati and his team who persuaded it to take on this important task.
Lati's expression gradually turned into surprise, and she turned to Xu Zhen and the others: "It seems that many wild monsters have broken into the capital."
"What?" Seid's loud voice scared the wild monsters around him. After noticing it, he seemed a little embarrassed and felt even more uneasy.
"I miss you so much. I want to go to the capital!"
"I knew you would say that." Xu Zhen responded with a wry smile, and Alicia and Courtney showed the same expression. It was obvious that any dissuasion was futile now.
Seide picked up Barney and handed him to Xu Zhen: "You stay here, and please help take care of Barney."
This is my country's problem. Sede was about to say this when suddenly -
"Meow!"
"Hello, Barney?"
Barney suddenly grabbed Seide's collar tightly, as if to say that he would never leave. Seeing this, Xu Zhen sighed softly and stood up.
"Just take it with you. It's your important companion, right? We'll go with you too."
“We are concerned too.”
"That's it."
“Indeed!”
Seid looked at Xu Zhen and Barney, looking a little confused. He wanted to go alone, but now it seemed impossible.
"I understand. Please give me more advice." Said bowed his head to express his gratitude. Xu Zhen and the others nodded with satisfaction, and Barney also shouted happily.
At this time, a wild killer eagle talked to Lati, and then Lati told Xu Zhen and others what she heard.
"However, it may not be a good idea to go there directly now. There seem to be many monsters gathered at the city gate."
"Then let's take this opportunity to make the best preparations possible." Alicia's proposal was agreed by Xu Zhen and others, and they all started to act.
