Chapter 340 The Terrifying Alice
"What did Emerald Sage Steel just do?"
"It looked like he used his secret sword technique on that novice Soulmancer."
"Doesn't that mean the novice Soulmancer is already dead?"
"Heh, look at that kid jumping around alive. I think that sword technique must have embedded itself in his body and will explode later."
...
The Soulmancers in the distance were ready to leave, but how could they miss the opportunity to observe a Demi-God strength powerhouse in action?
It had been so many years since they last saw a Demi-God strength fighter make a move.
And this time, it was because of a novice Soulmancer.
Emerald Sage Steel stared at William for a long while, not understanding where things had gone wrong.
The sword technique he used, let alone a novice Soulmancer, even a mid-level Soulmancer elite should have certainly died.
This is the absolute difference in strength levels. For a Demi-God strength powerhouse to annihilate a novice Soulmancer is as simple as a human stepping on an ant.
Now, it was like a human viciously stepping on an ant on the ground, lifting his foot to look, only to find the ant still jumping around, even waving its pincers in challenge. Who could accept that?
The problem must lie with the armor he was wearing.
Garen stared at William. Compared to those from the 13th Bureau who were already overwhelmed by his presence, William looked exceptionally unusual.
He believed that no one could deliberately hide their strength in his presence, so the reason for this situation could only be attributed to the armor.
Garen Steel had lived for over a thousand years, from the late Middle Ages to the present. Although he was angry over the death of his friend, he had not lost his reason. He asked with interest, "Have you called for backup?"
"Yes, just wait and see!" William replied.
"Good! I'll wait right here. I want to see who you can summon for help!" Emerald Sage Steel watched William expressionlessly.
Although he only possessed Demi-God strength, as a legendary warrior, his attack power far exceeded that of a regular Soulmancer.
Even if William could summon another Demi-God level Soulmancer, he was not afraid at all.
In his view, the whole incident was William's fault to begin with. Which Demi-God level powerhouse would want to offend him for the sake of someone as weak as William?
The people from the 13th Bureau were extremely nervous, and even Steven, who knew William's strength, found it difficult to raise his head under the oppressive energy released by Emerald Sage Steel.
William was strong, but he hardly emitted any frightening aura. On the contrary, it was Emerald Sage Steel who, from his arrival, enveloped everyone under his energy's oppressive force.
As the sun set, Alice finally arrived in her car.
Emerald Sage Steel had actually noticed Alice's arrival early on, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, William said he had called for backup. In his view, anyone capable of contending with him would at least be an elite with Demi-God level strength.
Alice was just at the early stage of being a mid-level Soulmancer, so Emerald Sage Steel naturally didn't take her seriously.
"What's with the fighting again?" Alice had left Luna and Erebus, the two little ones, at home and came alone in her car, immediately asking upon arrival.
William had already lifted the visor of his armor and nodded towards Emerald Sage Steel, who was hovering in the sky.
Alice looked up at the figure in the sky and naively waved with a smile, "Hello... you..."
"What do you mean 'hello'? I told you to fight him!"
If it weren't for the crowd, William would have knocked Alice on the head right then for her foolishness.
"Uh..." Alice looked up at Emerald Sage Steel again, feeling like her master was setting her up.
The other person was holding a giant sword that looked very impressive and was glowing, and could even hover and fly, clearly indicating he was a formidable figure.
Moreover, she still couldn't fly herself. What was she supposed to do against him, fight in an airplane?
"Is this the person you called for?" Emerald Sage Steel was so infuriated he almost fell from the sky. He had waited, expecting a Demi-God level warrior, only to find a mid-level Soulmancer woman.
It was a huge insult to him!
This was not just an insult to his strength, but he felt as if his intelligence was being rubbed against the floor.
He had been continually adjusting his aura, keeping himself at peak condition.
Just as Emerald Sage Steel was thinking about how to kill these two, his divine sword suddenly lost its luster, the oppressive energy around him dissipated, and if he hadn't acted quickly to grip the sword tightly, it probably would have fallen to the ground.
A legendary warrior losing control of his own sword?
Emerald Sage Steel was shocked and distressed. Holding his divine sword, he slowly descended, beginning to seriously observe Alice.
Even a Demi-God level powerhouse couldn't silently make him lose control of his sword like this!
And it was the appearance of this woman that made him realize, not only could he not release his secret sword technique, but he couldn't even exert his energy pressure.
This situation was naturally due to the Sword of Soulbreaker hanging on Alice's wrist.
Although the power of the Sword of Soulbreaker was sealed by William, it had still accompanied William in the age of gods, slaying countless fierce beasts and some god-level powerhouses. Any of the spirits fallen under that sword could easily overpower the Guild Master of the Emerald Lion.
Most importantly, the quality of the Sword of Soulbreaker was too high. Even Zeus' 'Sword of Thunder', Apollo's 'Sword of the Sun', Athena's 'Sword of Wisdom', and Ares' 'Sword of War' wouldn't dare to act up in its presence. The sword spirit of Emerald Sage Steel's sword was only a hundred years old, making it a mere child in front of the Sword of Soulbreaker's sword spirit.
Play with swords in front of the Sword of Soulbreaker?
Is that even possible?
Any Soulmancer skilled in swordsmanship, when facing the Sword of Soulbreaker, would find it difficult to even draw their sword.
Alice wasn't nervous, thinking that the man before her was someone her master had arranged for her to practice with. She tentatively asked, "Shall we have a fight?"
Emerald Sage Steel felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.
It wasn't for any other reason but the sheer eeriness of everything that had just happened, all seemingly because of this woman before him.
If Alice had displayed Demi-God level strength, he wouldn't be afraid, but she was at the early stage of being a mid-level Soulmancer!!
But how could she possibly be just at the early stage of a mid-level Soulmancer?!
Emerald Sage Steel could only feel that Alice's strength far exceeded his own, so much so that it was beyond his comprehension, which is why he couldn't see through Alice's true power.
"Hiss—" Emerald Sage Steel took a deep breath, his expression complex, "I never thought that there could be someone like you in this world, Master. But about today's matter, he killed my friend first. I am seeking revenge for my friend. Do you really intend to intervene?"
Addressing someone as Master when encountering a person with superior strength is a sign of respect.
Moreover, Alice's appearance had made Emerald Sage Steel feel that she was inscrutable.
He dared not fight her, but if he just left like this, wouldn't his Emerald Lion Guild lose face?
Alice was puzzled to be addressed as Master by Emerald Sage Steel, but after thinking about it, she concluded that it must be because her strength was too high.
Although her opponent could fly, he was just all show and no substance, and now he must be intimidated by her.
Hehe, Alice thought proudly to herself, knowing that the opponent her master found for her wouldn't be too strong.
Alice lifted her head and raised an eyebrow, "He killed the person, what do you want to do about it now?"
"Of course, he must pay with his life!"
Emerald Sage Steel, although not feeling any terrifying aura from Alice, believed that she had reached a high-level state of unity with nature.
After all, what just happened was too incredible, and he certainly didn't believe Alice was merely at the early stage of being a mid-level Soulmancer.
