Chapter 62: Cornered
It would be meaningless to allow a woman like Elize not to live within the borders of the Dragonia Kingdom. Letting Elize live around the border of the Dragonia Kingdom was no different from getting a strong guard. Therefore, Elize did not mind at all, even if she had to protect the territory of the Dragonia Kingdom from the front of the border line.
"Cien... He doesn’t listen to me at all. Hena, what should we do? Should we help Cien?"
Athena’s current focus returned to watching the fight between Lucien, who was now fighting Charles nonstop. Every attack Charles launched gave fatal wounds to my entire body. Even though the scales of my half-dragon form were no different from iron and steel, I wouldn’t be able to survive receiving even a scratch from a Dragon Emperor stage dragon.
Thinking back to the time Lucius and I had fought six months earlier slightly increased the fear within me. There was nothing I could do to win against Lucius. In the end, both Lucius and I had absolutely no evil intentions of killing each other.
"Lize, let’s watch a little longer. We’ll step in directly to help him if he can’t hold his ground any longer."
Viewers all over the world couldn’t help but have strange expressions on their faces after watching my fight against Charles. Moreover, the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom couldn’t hold back their worried expressions when they witnessed the fight between their princess’s fiancé and Charles. Unexpectedly, various cheers and shouts of enthusiasm erupted from the mouths of the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom.
"His Highness! Please grant victory to this kingdom! Even though you are a human, you are our only hope of being able to free ourselves from the various abusers of the empire!"
"Oh goddess! Please! If you lose, we’ll all just end up being puppets of the empire!"
Every hope of the citizens of the Dragonia Kingdom showed a form of sincerity in supporting their princess’s fiancé. Lilith is one of the reasons why the citizens have homes to live in within the Dragon Realm. But unfortunately, the empire is a villain that will destroy the peace of the Dragon Realm.
Spurt!—
A pained expression began to appear on my previously expressionless face. Suddenly, Charles’s incoherent voice began to come out of his mouth. Those were not pleading words asking for help from others. On the contrary, they were the words that Charles had long wanted to say when facing me.
"That poker face of yours... haha... I finally managed to get you to show that pathetic face of yours! Hahaha! I would even die just to be able to see your pathetic face!"
A small part of me expressed anger at the disgusting words Charles gave me. There’s no way I would feel happy listening to a man’s praise. For some reason, the killing intent that had previously been suppressed within my body started leaking out.
A piercing, icy air began to decorate all sides of the arena. My current half-dragon form gave me a massive increase in the amount of my mana. This is also the reason why I can activate Ultimate Ice Form in the next few tens of minutes.
[You have successfully activated Ultimate Ice Form.]
[Every destructive power of your Ice Element abilities will be increased by dozens of times beyond what the host should have. Mana Point consumption while activating Ultimate Ice Form will consume 1,000 Mana Points per minute.]
[Successor of the God King’s title: It can give the host a buff of 5% against every attack launched by the host. As the host becomes stronger, the buff from the increased attack will become much greater as your strength increases. From now on, the buff increase will raise the critical hit percentage up to 20%.]
"Wait a minute?! Lize! Why are you teaching Cien that skill? Don’t you know that it’s a dangerous technique?!"
Elize’s empty mind endlessly imagined how her disciple managed to activate the dangerous Ultimate Ice Form. Even the usually calm Elize began to ignore the various questions Athena gave her about Lucien’s current form. On the other hand, Elize didn’t know the reason why her disciple could have the Ultimate Ice Form as his transformation.
"Hurry up and stop him! Do you think the mana consumption for Ultimate Ice Form is very small? It’s even very dangerous for someone like Cien!"
"I don’t..."
A sigh could be heard coming out of Lilith’s mouth. Lilith’s cold eyes stared back at Athena and Elize. She said, "Don’t act rashly. Don’t you know that Lucien is the true heir of God King Velvet? He will automatically get every ability that Elize has learned."
"But Mother... Cien will die if he continues to activate this form..."
"Then he wouldn’t act recklessly just to activate that dangerous form. If he is so confident in facing his opponent, we should also believe that he will be able to successfully win against Charles."
After listening to Lilith’s explanation, both Athena and Elize no longer had any reply they could give to Lilith’s words. Because Lilith also believed that I would be able to win against Charles, both Athena and Elize also believed every word the strongest woman said.
"I have a bad feeling. I hope this boy can win against that guy."
"You worry too much, Darling. You should know that our son-in-law is not a weak man. He still has strength that he has not shown until now."
Shaking her head, Lilith returned to watching the match between her son-in-law and Charles, which had now reached its peak. For some reason, Tina and Tifa’s faces started showing half-shocked expressions after watching my fight against Charles.
"Our master is so strong? Ah... Tina, I’m sorry for doubting your words the night before."
"..." Unfortunately, Tina didn’t reply to the apology her sister gave her. On the other hand, Tina’s gaze was now endlessly watching the battle between Charles and their master.
[Soul-Life Earring has restored the host’s mana amount to a maximum of 100 Mana Points per second. The system expects the host not to push yourself too hard. Running out of mana is no different from accepting defeat in a match.]
[By the way, you must also be able to complete the mission of reclaiming your first wife from your opponent. It will trigger the system to give various random rewards to the host.]
’This dog system! If you have any help or advice for me, why don’t you give it to me? Why did you have to make me delay my thoughts for so long just to listen to your ramblings?!’
[Hm~. Good luck. From now on, this system will not interfere any further in the host’s fight to win back his first wife.]
