Chapter 711: Scimitar

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Amanda, is he your enemy?”

Michael tightly held onto his wand, a blurry glow starting to appear on the tip of it.

“Sir, even though you have enmity with a member of my team, luring the Evil Demons over to attack us is really crossing the line!” Clegg tightly gripped his large sword in indignation. “Such actions must be punished by the Adventurer Society and various nations. Wait for your wanted poster!”

“Wanted poster? Hehe...” Lauder laughed nastily. “I already have too many. Another one is nothing at all!”

“I remember! He’s Lauder, the ‘Executioner’!” the thief suddenly shouted loudly. “He’s wanted by three kingdoms and has committed twenty-seven murders!”

“It’s you!” Clegg retreated one step, his face full of wariness.

Someone wanted by so many kingdoms yet was still fine was clearly not simple.

“On the wanted poster, he has at least the strength of a high-level professional!” this thief shouted loudly and then suddenly turned around to run away.

Even though he was a comrade on the same team, under a life-and-death situation, he still chose to escape!

“This again... the ugly side of humanity!”

Lauder saw this and laughed with scorn. Powerful imposing manner concentrated, and suddenly, a little frozen star flew out from his hands like silver light and squarely hit the back of the thief.

Poof!

With the splattering of blood, this thief collapsed directly onto the ground and immediately became motionless.

“I really detest people who betray friendship. I’ve taken the initiative to help you guys settle it. No need to thank me!”

Lauder was very pleased with himself for the outcome that he had caused.

At first, he had lured over that group of Evil Demons and expended their stamina and equipment, even tricking them into using a high-level magic scroll and getting one of them killed.

Afterwards, this escaping thief even exposed his back to him, letting him kill him as he wished.

Just like this, the adventurer team that was originally a slight threat to him quickly disintegrated, and now, he could kill them all without being injured.

Zero injuries! This criterion was very important.

Lauder was clearly aware that he was a lone wolf. If he wanted to survive to the end in the Demon Territory, he could not suffer overly serious injuries or burdens to his body.

Any slight insufficiency during key moments might result in a breakdown.

He was like a seasoned hunter that first secretly expended the opponent’s strength before exposing himself. He had to utterly crush their confidence.

“This... isn’t a high-level professional, but a Quasi-Legend!”

Clegg was a person with discerning eyes. Seeing this, he was in even greater despair and felt full of bitterness.

With the opponent’s strength, even at the peak of his team, they would only be able to create minor annoyances. Now, in their broken state, they were even more hopeless.

“Your target is me. Release my companions!” At this time, Amanda gritted her teeth and suddenly took a step forward. “Otherwise... otherwise...”

“Haha... you have nothing to say, right? Otherwise, what can you do? Commit suicide so that I can’t obtain anything? What a joke! Your divinity won’t simply dissipate. Once the host dies, it will only immediately look around for the next host...” Lauder had a look full of ridicule.

“Wait!” The faces of Clegg and Michael instantly changed. “What? Divinity?!”

“Sorry, Michael and Leader. I’ve deceived you!” Amanda was full of bitterness. “Actually... I’m also a Son of Purgatory! Do you still remember? During that mission when we had to kill thieves, their leader was actually a Deity! After killing him, I suddenly obtained this power!”

“This... this is really...” Clegg unconsciously retreated a few steps.

In the propaganda of churches, the Sons of Purgatory were all incarnations of Evil Demons, synonymous with depravity and slaughter. Where they passed, there would definitely death and disaster.

“Hah! Do you see this? These are your comrades! You risked your life to save this group!” Lauder’s face was full of ridicule. “So, I can give you a chance. Before you die, I can let you personally kill them!”

“Stop meaninglessly provoking me. I won’t fall for it!” Amanda raised her bow and aimed at Lauder. “Leader, Michael, Luhn, quickly run!”

“Amanda... You...” Clegg and Michael had a conflicted look and seemed to slightly waver.

“Sacrificing yourself for others? How great! This light is so dazzling that it makes one want to extinguish it!”

Lauder’s face changed, becoming faintly aggressive. “I swear you’ll regret your decision!”

“No, I definitely won’t regret it!”

Amanda released her hand and an arrow shot out like a beam of light.

“What a silly trick!”

A scimitar appeared in Lauder’s hands as he casually hacked. The arrow was immediately deflected to the side.

Just this move made Amanda’s pupils shrink, knowing that doing something similar required immensely skillful technique and horrifying physical qualities.

“However, I won’t give up...”

Her right hand was like a butterfly fluttering through flowers, quickly brandishing three arrows with the glow of magic encircling the tip. “Chain of Arrows!”

Swoosh!

The bowstring quivered and three arrows directly shot at Lauder’s throat like the line of a thread.

Whoosh!

Facing this, Lauder’s face became serious for the first time.

Nearly at the same time as the arrows released, his body leapt forward swiftly and violently like a black snake. The blade in his hand shot out like lightning and knocked away the tips of the flying arrows before arriving in front of Amanda with a cold look. “It’s over!”

Zheng!

Suddenly, his pupils contracted as if he saw something unbelievable.

Beams of cold light immediately appeared in front, and Lauder only barely managed to evade it by bending his hips nearly ninety degrees. Even so, it slashed a long, bloody cut across his face and nearly squeezed out his lone eye.

“Damn it!”

Lauder hastily retreated and fixed his gaze on Amanda.

Her weapon had undergone an earth-shattering transformation as two sharp blades that looked like waxing moons leaped out from the bow with a tinge of blood-red on them. These were obviously the culprits that caused his injuries.

“The Moon Nation’s Bow Dancer?” Lauder’s face darkened. “I can’t believe that you advanced in such a rare profession!”

“After all, I’m a Deity. I must have a card in my hand!”

Amanda gritted her teeth, feeling regret.

Even though she took him by surprise, she was still unable to seriously injure him. The battle hereon would definitely be very difficult.

Even death was inevitable.

But... I was able to buy sufficient time for Leader.

A hint of sweetness emerged in Amanda’s heart as she subconsciously turned around to look. She nearly exploded in vulgarities. “You... how come all of you are still here?”

She had painstakingly fought for this short bit of time, yet among the three, none of them ran away!

Amanda was so angry that she was about to cry.

Especially Luhn!

This person who was just a client was actually standing there upright, causing her to be at a loss of whether to laugh or cry.

Amanda really wanted to point at his nose and ask, “What relationship do you have with me? Could it be you fancy me just like Michael and chose not to escape even when there such a good opportunity?”

“Amanda!” Clegg puffed out his chest. “No matter what, you’re a member of my team. As the team leader, how could I abandon my comrade?”

“That’s right!” Michael tightly held his wand as the aquamarine light of an enhancement landed on Amanda.

Amanda was so touched, she nearly cried, but Fang Yuan’s face was a little bizarre. Love triangle? That’s really melodramatic enough...

“Idiots, you’ll all pay the price for your own conceit and ignorance!”

Lauder stood up, and the scimitar in his hand released a dazzling glow as he hacked toward Amanda. “Die!”

“Never!” Clegg shouted loudly as he raised his long sword to block in front of Amanda.

Amanda’s figure was graceful as she performed elegant moves like a dancer. The bow blade circled around her body like shiny moonlight.

“It’s no use!” Lauder screamed as his scimitar swung straight at Clegg and hacked into the moonlight.

Dang!

A crisp sound rang out and the bow snapped. Amanda collapsed onto the ground and her face looked frightened. “This magic... a high-level magical item? Half-artifact?”

“Haha, that’s right. In order to obtain it, I slaughtered two entire families!”

A layer of magical radiance appeared on Lauder, which was most dazzling on the scimitar. “But everything was worth it!”

“You lunatic!”

Clegg fiercely rushed up, but with a casual swing of the scimitar, the long sword in his hand snapped. His collapsed onto the ground, a deep indent on his armor.

“None of you have the power to retaliate before me!”

Lauder went forward, about to take Amanda’s life with a strike.

“Noooo!” Michael shouted loudly and released a fireball.

Kaboom!

But Lauder laughed with disdain and directly plunged the scimitar into the fireball’s center.

The next instant, the fireball was extinguished as easily as candlelight.

“Sharp Break Magic?”

Michael felt extremely bitter.

This legendary scimitar instantly made all his efforts seem like a joke.

“Then... what’s next is your decision. Do you want me to chop your hands or your feet first?”

Lauder arrived in front of Amanda and licked the blade of his scimitar, his expression becoming extremely crazed and joyful.

Michael tightly grabbed onto his wand, but regardless, he was unable to move and started trembling.

“Am I going to die... Leader...”

Amanda glanced at Clegg, but ultimately did not say a word.

“Hehe... Relax, you won’t die so quickly. Instead, you’ll be crying for a long time in a pool of blood. I have lots of experience in this aspect, and I guarantee that there’ll be no mistakes!”

Lauder laughed sinisterly and was about to act...

Suddenly, everything around seemed to stagnate as a powerful presence abruptly descended!
