Chapter 306: The Face Behind the Mask
“We meet again.” The mysterious man stood high up in the treetops. Under the mask, one could vaguely see the corners of his mouth rising slightly, as well as the disdain in his eyes.
Audrey’s azure eyes flashed with a hint of unease before she gradually calmed down. Unfortunately, since the other party had already arrived, there was no room for them to retreat.
Then, it would be better to have a good fight.
“I don’t want to see you at all,” Audrey replied coldly.
“Heh! Are you afraid of losing to me?” The mysterious man snorted in disdain, his tone provocative.
Hearing this, Audrey’s eyes flashed, and she retorted in a tepid manner. “In my impression, you didn’t seem to have taken advantage of me. Isn’t the trip to the snowy mountain the best example?”
In the Snow Mountain, the man had failed several times. This was what he was most angry about. Now that Audrey had mentioned it, the mysterious man was instantly enraged. He waved his arm, and a surge of battle spirit was released.
Audrey easily dodged it. The corners of her mouth still had a playful smile as she teased, “You’re angry just like that? It seems like you can’t afford to lose.”
The mysterious man was stunned by these words. He could not help but wonder how Audrey knew about this.
He hated losing the most in his life, so he could not lose.
However, Audrey had made him lose several times, and now she was still provoking and mocking him. At this moment, the mysterious man was burning with anger. He wanted nothing more than to crush Audrey into pieces.
However, Audrey did not know about this. She had only casually said a few words. She did not expect that the man would be so easily angered. It was not like his usual character.
“Audrey, today, I’ll let you die without a burial ground!” The mysterious man sneered. He clenched his fists and instantly appeared on the ground, looking at Audrey in an imposing manner.
Hearing this, Audrey chuckled. It was not certain who would die.
Today, she had to figure out the true face of the mysterious man!
Audrey frowned tightly. Her eyes were filled with sharpness. The longsword in her hand trembled faintly, as though she could not wait to start a war.
“Great Goddess of ice and snow, please bestow me with divine power!” As she chanted, the energy in Audrey’s body became even stronger.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audrey quickly condensed two energy balls in her hands and attacked the man one after the other.
The mysterious man was not afraid. When the energy balls were about to approach him, he built a protective wall in front of him. When the energy balls hit it, they turned into ashes along with the protective wall.
The mysterious man quickly took a step back and threw out a stream of combat aura at lightning speed, heading straight for Audrey.
“Audrey, be careful!” Kate warned.
Just as the stream of combat aura was about to touch Audrey, Audrey suddenly disappeared from where she was. When she was seen again, she had already appeared behind the man.
Kate and the others heaved a sigh of relief, but then, they saw an even more terrifying scene.
Audrey actually went forward, wanting to remove the man’s mask.
The mask was tied to the back of his head. Audrey untied the knot with one hand, and the mask was about to fall off. At this moment, the man hurriedly used his hand to protect the mask. He turned around and swung his arm heavily at Audrey.
Audrey bent her back and dodged, engaging the mysterious man at close range.
“Gale spell!”
A gust of strong wind blew over. The bandage on the man’s mask fluttered in the wind. The man’s eyes under the mask seemed to be a little flustered. This made Audrey even more curious about what kind of face was under the mask.
He was wearing a mask. What was he trying to hide?
In close combat, Audrey was unable to use magic. She could only constantly release her combat aura and wrap it around her limbs and longsword, attacking the man continuously.
Her fist was swift. In the blink of an eye, she had arrived in front of the mysterious man, trying to stop him from continuing to hold on to the mask.
The mysterious man used his other hand to block Audrey’s attack and kept retreating.
“Stop struggling. Let me see what’s hidden behind your mask!” Audrey berated coldly.
The man’s eyes were extremely gloomy as he retreated to the vicinity of Daisy and Xavier. Finally, he replied coldly, “Don’t even think about it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Audrey’s hands formed a claw shape. Then, just as she was about to rush forward and remove the man’s mask, the mysterious man waved his long robe and suddenly disappeared in front of Audrey with his two subordinates.
The man’s departure only left a gust of wind.
Audrey sighed softly. She thought that she would succeed soon, but she did not expect the other party to escape. However, the man would rather escape than remove the mask. Why?
“Audrey, are you hurt?” Her teammates rushed over one after another and asked with concern.
Audrey shook her head, her thoughts still lingering on the mysterious man.
“What are you thinking about?” Adrian asked in puzzlement. He could sense Audrey’s complicated emotions.
“I’m thinking about who he is and why he refuses to take off his mask,” Audrey could not help but blurt out with a meaningful tone.
Upon hearing this, the few of them fell into deep thought.
Although they had exchanged blows with the mysterious man several times, they had never seen his true appearance. There were several times when Audrey wanted to take off his mask, but he managed to escape.
It was clear how much the mysterious man cared about his appearance.
“Perhaps he’s just ugly and doesn’t want to see others.” But, then, the atmosphere turned gloomy, and Cole joked.
The few of them instantly laughed, but the doubts in their hearts did not diminish in the slightest. Finally, however, since they could not figure it out, they could only put it aside for the time being.
