Chapter 247 Xiuman’s Plan
In the dark night above the City Lord's Mansion, the aerial battle between Ivan and Xiuman has entered a white-hot stage.
Of course, it was mainly because of Xiuman's intense excitement that Irving was almost beaten to pieces.
Seeing that his opponent was beginning to be overwhelmed, Xiuman decisively thrust out his sword, intending to pierce Ivan's chest.
Seeing that Ivan couldn't dodge the attack, Xiuman showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
As a result, the tip of the sword was blocked as soon as it touched Ivan's chest, and the tip of the sword felt like steel.
Xiling below finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His [Iron Skin Technique] hit Alvin at just the right time.
"Ivan! You still have five chances to ignore attacks!"
Hearing the half-elf lady's reminder, Ivan looked at Xiuman with a wry smile.
The opponent's martial arts skills are superb and his movements are swift. I estimate that even if I give myself fifty chances, it will not be enough for him to deal with my attack...
Shuman thought so too.
After all, Alvin has too little experience in close combat.
Although the sorcerer is not a melee-focused profession, the way that Shuman improves himself is very labor-saving and takes almost no time;
So he had plenty of time to practice his sword and shield skills.
From the beginning, when he was beaten and fled in fear by a few diehards of the orphanage, to now, several guards combined are no match for him - Xiuman's training in sword and shield weapons can be said to have soared.
Before Ivan could react, Xuman started a new round of attack.
His sword swung in a swift arc, slashing towards Ivan's shoulder.
This move was intended to destroy Ivan's body balance. Even if he used the pair of green sticks to block the attack, his floating body would be hit and sunk by himself.
Then, whether it is a few more spells or a series of shield strikes, Ivan will lose the defensive effect.
With Ivan's dazed expression, the sword blade quickly reached above Ivan's shoulder.
But what Xuman didn't expect was that this time, Ivan didn't use the rubber stick to block, but slightly leaned his body back to avoid the chop.
Then, the human used his arms to tightly clamp Xiuman's energy blade.
In fact, a true warrior will choose to let go as soon as his weapon is restricted by the enemy.
After all, once your hands and feet are trapped, it will be difficult for you to deal with the next attack.
Energy weapons like the Shuman are easier to get out of trouble with, so just cancel the spell.
But Xuman was confused by Ivan's change of tactics. The heavy energy shield in his other hand was already on its way, and there was no room for him to stop.
This made Xiuman, who had originally planned to take a step back to make room for his shield strike, very embarrassed.
The shield swung behind Ivan and scored a beautiful miss.
Xiuman lowered his head. Judging from the height difference, he really needed to lower his head to see Ivan's eyes at this distance.
The young city lord noticed that Ivan's face was full of an expression of success.
Just when he felt something was wrong, an orange ball of light appeared between the two of them.
……
In the abandoned orphanage of the City Lord's Mansion, nearly a hundred tall figures in black robes were sitting together.
Between them were Isa, who had turned into a ball of black mist, and Percy, who had a solemn expression on his face.
As for Lariel, she was walking up to a tall black-robed man and performing her own healing magic on him.
"Bear with me for now. I have to cut open your skin and connect the broken bones and tendons before I can completely heal your broken arm..."
The man in black robe opposite nodded, and as Larriel cut the skin on his arm, the man's body shook noticeably a few times.
But this creature endured the pain without making a sound until the treatment was over and the dark arm was completely healed, and then intermittent sounds began to come from under the hood of the black robe.
"T-thank you, beautiful lady."
Larriel, who used Ivan's treatment skills, checked the wound again with great satisfaction, then smiled at the black robe and continued to treat the next injured person.
"Isa, I don't understand. Now that Larelle and I know their identities, why are these...still unwilling to take off their hoods?"
Curly-haired Percy felt heavy-hearted ever since he learned the whole story.
"Percy, they are different from us...
Even hybrids with the blood of the Abyss are not uncommon in the plane. Whether it is gods or other creatures, at least they will not shout for war and killing right away...
But they..."
The swirling black mist was suspended in the air, moving in a rhythmic manner with the sound of its own voice.
“Is this why Master Xiuman hid them in the orphanage?
Tell me, Isa.
What on earth is Lord Xiuman planning?
This group of creatures, together with the Faceless Troops and the city guards, are biased towards Lord Xiuman’s soldiers…”
"It's enough to overthrow the entire Brilliant City, right?"
Black Mist Isa interrupted, her scarlet eyes flickering and her emotions becoming excited.
“Percy, Radiant City originally belonged to the Radiant Family and Lord Shuman.
Look at the current Huiyao City, those tyrannical councillors, those royal nobles who only care about grabbing resources and don't care about the lives of the people...
How can this be the way the Brilliant City, where there is no distinction between races or between noble and humble, should be? "
Looking at Larriel who was treating the injuries of the tall black shadow, Percy's eyes suddenly became blurred.
Had I stayed in the City Guard and the City Hall for too long? My way of thinking had become like that of those scheming councillors...
"Master Xiuman intends to...
Use armed forces to directly eliminate...those congressmen and foreign forces?"
After hesitating for a long time, Percy decided to ask Isa directly.
"Yes, Percy.
Lord Xuman and we are tired of continuing to deal with those guys who like to engage in conspiracies and intrigues.
Isn’t it the same with you?”
The black mist continued to swirl, and the scarlet eyes grew dim.
"I hope that by then, you will stand on our team, Percy..."
Just as Percy was carefully digesting the conversation, a dull explosion sounded not far away.
“Is this… Fireball?
Someone broke into the City Lord's Mansion!"
Percy, who was a city guard, immediately became alert.
But not long after, a more violent explosion was heard, followed by a surging air wave that broke through the windows of the orphanage.
"This is not a fireball!"
Isa exclaimed, but soon her surprise turned into fear.
"Oh no! Lord Xiuman..."
There was no time to think about it, as Isa's black misty body kept tumbling and flew out of the window.
He glanced at Larriel, who had a confused look on his face and was casting healing spells, and scratched his curly hair.
“I hope my choice is right…”
Picking up his hammer and shield, Percy dodged and ran out after Isa in the air.
"Percy! Percy! Where are you going?"
Larrel, who hadn't reacted yet, shouted hurriedly.
"I will protect the future of Brilliant City—"
