Chapter 348 Dead End
Chapter 348 Dead End
The blue magic impact merged with the despair in Shana's eyes, and the girl slowly closed her eyes.
Just as Cross's magic was about to hit Shana, a flash of cold light shattered his magic.
"Magic sword?" Cross looked at the sword on the wall expressionlessly.
The next second, a figure suddenly appeared, drew out the magic sword, and quickly protected Shana.
"Cassius, are you going to disobey me too?" Cross said disdainfully as he looked at the yellow-haired boy in front of him.
"You feel so strange to me, brother. I'm disappointed." Cassius never expected that one day, when he faced Cross, he would feel like he was facing the devil.
Either you die or I die.
Wang Wei, who was standing far away, had a deep gaze, always staring at the ruthless Cross.
His eyes seemed to be asking: Cross, how are you going to deal with this?
The next moment, the sky turned dark, and dark clouds gathered madly in the sky above the palace as if they had received instructions.
The space around Cross flashed with lightning and crackled from time to time.
"Let me test what you have learned from following Ron for so many years."
As dozens of magic arrays of varying sizes and shapes rose up from around Cross, the lightning in the air seemed to merge with his magic power.
Nobo tactfully left, and the royal guard who had been monitoring Cross, along with other guards, were also forced back by this huge and violent magic power.
The moment the magic array was deployed, only three siblings were left in the huge square.
Faced with the pressure of his brother's magic, Cassius burst out with all his strength to collide with it, but still retreated half a step.
When he thought of Shana behind him, he opened his eyes wide, faced the thunder storm, tightly gripped the magic sword in his hand, and took another big step forward.
Under the protection of Cassius's breath, Shana was able to avoid being eroded by lightning in the air.
Cross's crazy behavior was instantly noticed by Michel in the cathedral.
He faced the direction of the palace, his face full of disbelief.
"Using super-level magic against your own brothers and sisters?"
Just as Michelle frowned, Tartarus suddenly appeared.
"I've said it before, Cross is the most correct way, he won't let me down, Michelle, your plan looks like it's going to fail."
Michelle and Hobert noticed the appearance of Tartarus at the same time.
Hobert was stunned for a moment when he saw the black-haired man in a translucent soul state.
A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling came over me.
In his mind, his brother Mista's research conclusions collapsed instantly.
"Didn't they say that every hundred years, there are only three people with black hair?"
Michel's face darkened and he mobilized all his magic power to take action. He would not allow anyone to discover the existence of Tartarus.
Tartarus saw through Michel's thoughts and spoke to stop him.
"Don't worry, the magic power of LV6 is still full, you can keep it for a while."
Michelle also understood what he meant and stopped in time.
Tartarus was planning to absorb Hobert's magic power later, so it would be a waste to kill him now.
Hobert was immersed in shock and before he could react, he was trapped in place by Michelle's magic. He couldn't move or speak. He could only watch the two people talking.
Tartarus looked at the battle scene on the screen and asked doubtfully, "Michel, there is no need to go through so much trouble to test Cross.
Just let him kill his brother or sister.
In this situation, even if Cross really has a problem, he would not be stupid enough to expose himself for two insignificant guards."
Michelle did not contradict her master, but she also expressed her own thoughts.
"Master, your method is indeed simple and effective.
However, the thrill of being ordered to kill a relative is a bit too strong.
If this incident triggers feelings in Cross that he has already discarded, we will be shooting ourselves in the foot."
Tartalo nodded slightly, lost in thought.
The situation Michelle described is not impossible.
There were precedents for this a few hundred years ago.
When the experimental subject was at LV5, he had already lost his friendship and love one after another, but because his previous lover died in front of him, the strong shock caused his old love to rekindle.
"You have a point, but I still don't think that Cross would expose himself for two guards." Tartarus said.
Michelle said slyly, "Don't worry, Master. The two guards, Mandy and Roxanne, can't really irritate Cross, but they can irritate Shana."
Tartarus asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
A hint of confidence flashed in Michelle's small eyes.
“I specifically told Abed to hold back and not let those two guards die too quickly.
After Shana learned of the deaths of the two people, she could only fall into despair, but what is more terrifying than despair is hope.
That tiny bit of hope is what drives her crazy. Only with hope will she try her best."
Tartarus thought carefully about Michelle's words and showed a look of surprise.
"Let Cross take the initiative to kill Shana because of her threat?"
Michelle nodded and said, "That's right my master."
In this case, Cross would have to prove himself by taking ruthless action against his sister.
Michelle's bet was that Cross would not kill Shana.
Tartarus smiled with satisfaction and said, "Michelle, you are indeed very talented in this area."
Michelle nodded slightly, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
He cast his eyes towards the light curtain, hoping that things would develop as planned.
In the light curtain, the battle in the containment zone was coming to an end.
"Albert is indeed a useful tool. He solved all the problems by himself."
Michelle glanced at Hobert out of the corner of her eye and smiled smugly.
Originally, he was worried that Abed alone was not enough, so he sent a LV5 priest.
Now it seems that there is no need for the priest to take action.
In the containment area, Mandy's sword had lost its tip and the blade was covered with gaps.
Roshan’s magic power was almost exhausted and she was out of breath.
On the other hand, Abed looked relaxed, and the only thing on his body that was damaged was his clothes.
"Just accept your fate. You two can't possibly be my opponent."
Mandy turned a deaf ear to Abed's ridicule.
"Roxanne, are you okay?"
Luo Shan used her magic wand to support her limp body. Even standing up was a luxury. "Mandy, I feel... I'm not feeling well."
"It's okay, leave it to me." Mandy stood up with difficulty and got into position again.
She was very clear about her condition. She had been hit by magic in many places and several bones were broken.
Now she is just trying to show off.
"Is it really impossible? Without relying on [Limit Breakthrough], there is really no chance of defeating him?"
Not long ago, Miss told Mandy that swordsmen should not rely too much on the martial arts [Limit Breakthrough].
This sacrificial martial art can indeed allow her combat power to soar dramatically in a short period of time, but the side effects it brings far outweigh its effectiveness.
Not only will it shorten one's lifespan, it will also slowly block the swordsman's path to promotion.
Mandy was conflicted. In the current situation, it would be difficult to find a way out without using [Limit Breakthrough].
"Miss, what should I do?"
