"From my point of view, I see no consequence heading my way."
It was the undeniable and sole truth that Great Elder Rosa could see with her own two eyes.
She put it out there as clearly as water.
For a fleeting mont after the words, the air beca thicker, and the silence louder.
Viora could hear her own nervous heart pounding inside her chest as the situation escalated.
Had it been the Saintess of Purity on Rex's shoes, Viora was certain that she wouldn't not let this pass—the only answer was to teach Great Elder Rosa a lesson that she would not forget, one that would make her more respectful.
Though Rex was only an Immortal Spirit, Viora didn't take him lightly.
She truly believed that Rex could take Great Elder Rosa down if he wanted to.
A belief that didn't waver at all despite the situation.
As such the power and talent of a Candidate for Invincibility.
Rex glanced down at the serrated, root-weaved blade that was pressed against his throat.
He could feel its thorns poking his skin clearly.
If he made a sudden movent, there was no doubt the thorns would tear his throat apart.
Seeing no reaction from Rex—no fear, no panic, no nothing even with doom so close by, Great Elder Rosa squinted. And with a twitch of her expression, the monster behind Rex moved, raising its blade above its head, and hacked down powerfully.
Slash!
Crack!
Not even so much to hesitate, the monster sliced Rex's right arm along with the sofa cleanly.
Blood squirted out from his severed limb but the monster threw a rose flower.
It sucked every single drop of the blood with precision.
Not even a drop managed to hit the floor.
Only Rex's severed limb, drained entirely of blood hit the floor.
"Just like that," Great Elder Rosa said coldly. "That could've been your head on the floor"
Upon the sight of the limb, Viora's eyes flared open in shock, and then, she snapped.
Great Elder Rosa has gone too far, this was unacceptable.
"I do not approve of this, Great Elder Rosa," Her ek deanor instantly changed into a fierce one, the advisor of the Aurelius Noble House part of her, surfaced. "We have been working together, for countless years—but it seed you began to make a hobby out of pushing on my tolerance,"
Great Elder Rosa's eyes flickered but she kept her gaze fixed on Rex.
But it was clear that she was on the verge of turning away.
Hearing Viora's serious tone has that kind of effect on her.
"It's fine," Rex raised his remaining hand, gesturing towards Viora to stop.
"But this is unacceptable, you did nothing that crossed the line," She argued. "I must stop her,"
"I said it's fine," Rex repeated his words but this ti, his voice was commanding.
Despite her reluctance, Viora stepped back and went to her original position again.
Once she backed away, Rex glanced at his severed arm and grabbed it from the floor.
He placed it back on its original spot and in re seconds, the arm was attached back to his body.
Since there was no blood as proof of what Great Elder Rosa did, the slash earlier doesn't feel real.
As if it only happened in the mind.
"For us to work together, our pride must clash," Rex mumbled, placing his focus—back on Great Elder Rosa who now has her composed façade cracking. Then, he turned slightly to look at the monster behind him, "Your Soul Artifact must be a strong one. Added with the Rosemancer Echo, I understand why you're arrogant"
Upon hearing this, Great Elder Rosa frowned.
Even though the monster she summoned gave a clue—as to what kind of Echo she has, there are still a lot of Echoes that could have this kind of effect on her powers. For Rex to deduce what her Echo was as if it was eas—that surprised her greatly.
Knowing the Echo ant knowing the person's ability, and that was bad news for the exposed.
Not to ntion, she was still utterly confused as to what his relationship with Viora was.
'Even my husband can't silence Viora up like this…' Great Elder Rosa thought.
It was clear that Rex was sobody to obtain Viora's respect but she couldn't tell his identity.
