In a single breath, Brand and Veronica clashed ten tis.
It seed as if the lord from Erune was at a disadvantage, yet everyone around, including the Centaurs, were all stunned.
They could clearly see how terrifying this woman was, even the Peace Barrier flickered under the strain of her power. When Veronica unleashed her sword, her strength finally triggered a counterattack from the Peace Barrier, but the vines that could easily entangle Faina were obliterated into ash by her sweeping Sword Qi before they even got close to the Female Sword Saint.
Veronica didn't even deliberately attack the vines, but even so, they couldn't get within ten feet of her.
Yet, despite this, Brand could still fight her with style and substance.
Even Veronica herself began to feel impatient. The Cruz Empire entered the Black Forest under the guise of an envoy group to contact the Druids. In truth, the real purpose was to investigate the enormous magic reaction from months ago. The Wizards had foreseen it as a response from a Divine Artifact, and it very likely indicated the location of the long-lost Lion Heart Sword. Subsequent divinations by the Court Astrologers also confird this. The importance of the Lion Heart Sword to the Cruz Empire was self-evident, though it had been stolen by Erune's Forr King Ai Ke centuries ago, the Empire never gave up searching for it. This ti was no different, but this wasn't within the Empire, and they always acted discreetly. However, this ti things blew up due to a miscalculation.
If only she had suppressed this youngster from the start, taken him down with one swift move. But now his Sword Realm and aura had reached a peak, even if she unleashed her aura, she couldn't intimidate him.
Instead, it would provoke a strong resistance from him.
The Female Legion Commander couldn't help but be shocked. When did Erune produce such a prodigious talent, soone so young yet at this level—Veronica herself ca from a swordsmanship family and was a rising star in Cruz since childhood. She believed she couldn't have lasted so long against soone of her current self's level at his age.
For a mont, she even thought about putting down her sword and asking if he'd be willing to return to Cruz with her as her student—such talent was extraordinarily rare. This young man often predicted her attack intentions, despite this being their first duel. Such Talent was almost unheard of.
But now Veronica found herself in a dilemma, knowing she had to bring this battle to a conclusion quickly.
She had little ti, finally unable to hold back from unleashing her true power. As for whether she'd destroy half the market with one strike, the Female Legion Commander no longer cared.
After all, the Druids couldn't do anything to her, at most they would only expel them from the city. As the Commander of the Empire's Blue Sky Legion, how could she allow such a minor setback to restrain her?
Veronica was resolute, and a green light emanated from her Longsword.
"Watch out!" Otarais imdiately warned.
Brand also sensed the terrifying power. He knew that if he could dodge this strike, Veronica wouldn't have the chance to pursue. But how could he evade it?
He turned his head and saw Antitina and Qian still standing not far away holding Funiya.
"This crazy woman!"
Brand was also furious.
"In the na of the wind, Holy Sword—!" With a gesture, green Light Wings appeared behind him. He pointed the Earth Sword forward, the Light Wings withdrew to the sides, revealing hundreds of Light Swords hovering behind him, aid at Veronica and her entourage.
Veronica was about to strike but hesitated slightly at this scene—what is this?
Not only Veronica, but almost everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the green Light Wings unfurl behind Brand, countless sharp swords floating in the air targeting every soldier of the Cruz Empire present.
"You can try," Brand said calmly to Veronica.
"Are you threatening an Empire's Legion Commander?" Veronica's erald eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Do you think these little things can harm ?"
"Not necessarily harm you, but this is an instant attack exceeding two hundred instances of silver-level power. Veronica Commander Lord, do you have the ability to protect everyone from attacks of this level?" Brand replied nonchalantly.
