Chapter 280: Is the Capital City the Beginner's Village?
Chapter 280: Is the Capital City the Beginner's Village?
Of course, all the words spoken earlier were Alice's previous impressions and feelings about Yecheng.
But now, looking at the confident Yecheng, whose figure seemed to float gracefully under the moonlight, Alice suddenly realized that perhaps the so-called 'Child of the Gods' wasn't just an empty title.
Putting aside other aspects, the mere fact that Yecheng could sever the monster's arm was enough to shock Alice.
After all, the mage swordsmen in the Royal Knight Order were all geniuses who graduated from various families and the Mage Swordsmen Academy. Yet, in the recent battle, the injuries they inflicted on this monster were minimal.
The only person who could severely injure the monster was herself.
But now, the sudden appearance of Yecheng, who had done the same as her, left Alice stunned. How old was Yecheng? He was barely fifteen or sixteen, just entering the Mage Swordsmen Academy.
"Princess Alice, since the knights you assigned to monitor us have left, and I saw the town in chaos, I rushed over here.
With this, I shouldn't be held accountable, right? For example, during the surveillance, I didn't escape or anything like that?"
Yecheng, who had severed the monster's arm, nimbly sidestepped, avoiding the monster's other arm that was sweeping towards him.
However, when he turned to respond to Alice's question, his words nearly made her stumble. Was this the right time to bring this up?
But after witnessing Yecheng's strength, Alice's solemn expression faded, and she smiled at him, saying, "By saving your colleague just now, you've already made up for your unauthorized departure.
If you can help defeat this monster next, I won't pursue your previous mistakes, and you'll even receive credit and rewards afterward."
Facing this infinitely regenerating monster, Alice had been at a loss. But now, with Yecheng's appearance, she saw a glimmer of hope.
If Yecheng could inflict the same heavy damage as her, they would have a chance to defeat the monster.
With continuous high-speed attacks, she might not be able to do it alone, but with Yecheng's help, the attack frequency could be doubled!
As Alice spoke, the monster slapped him with its palm.
Unfortunately, a silver flash appeared in the air again, and the monster's palm was once again split in half by Yecheng.
This time, Alice witnessed Yecheng's move.
At this moment, the mana power emanating from Yecheng's body wasn't exceptionally high, or perhaps it was outstanding among his peers, but compared to the members of the Royal Knight Order, it was only slightly superior.
The main reason Yecheng could easily sever the monster's arm, which the Royal Knight Order members couldn't, was that his mana was highly condensed.
Alice had never imagined that a mere fifteen-year-old boy could completely infuse his mana into his sword and condense it to such a degree.
Everyone understood that mana of the same quality and quantity, when compressed and concentrated to a certain extent, could unleash greater power.
However, achieving this required an incredibly difficult technique. Moreover, while condensing and compressing mana, one had to simultaneously engage in combat, making the already challenging task even more daunting.
At least, Alice herself, despite being able to infuse her mana into her sword, couldn't match Yecheng's ability to not only infuse mana but also compress it to a certain degree.
The longsword in Yecheng's hand was slender compared to a typical knight's sword, and at this moment, with the condensation and compression of mana, the materialized mana even made his sword appear like a lightsaber!
"Do we really need to team up to defeat someone like this?" Yecheng couldn't help but grumble inwardly upon hearing Alice's words.
Yecheng was well aware of Alice Midgar's reputation; after all, she was the kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman and the nightmare of all her peers.
Initially, Yecheng thought that the Royal Knight Order had not captured this demonized maiden because they wanted to gather some clues from her. But now, it seemed the situation was not as he had assumed...
The fact that they hadn't resolved this issue by now was not due to any hidden agenda but simply because they were incompetent...
Of course, Yecheng wouldn't dare speak these thoughts aloud. Due to Alice's words, he decided to temporarily hold back on displaying his true abilities.
There were two ways to defeat this monster: either turn it into ashes with a single strike or use ultra-high-speed continuous attacks. Both were easy tasks for Yecheng.
However, Yecheng suddenly realized that the skill level of the people in the capital seemed much lower than he had initially expected.
Previously, in the rural Omega territory, he had interacted with Sida, Alpha, and Delta, and the weakest among them was probably Kreya.
Even Kreya, if compared to most of the Royal Knight Order members, was still much stronger.
According to the usual pattern, when opening a new map, they should be encountering stronger elite monsters and NPCs. But what was going on here? Compared to the people in the capital, it seemed that the so-called beginner village was the capital itself, and the rural area where he had stayed with Sida was the real elite area...
It was impossible for Yecheng to reveal his true strength, even though he didn't have the same ambition as Sida to become a "Shadow Power Seeker."
But he wasn't a fool either. He knew that in this situation, if he displayed even a fraction of his power to defeat the demonized maiden before him, it would be a huge blow to Alice's pride.
After all, she was the "Kingdom's Strongest Mage Swordsman," and he was just a rural noble. Why would he want to draw unnecessary attention to himself?
After considering how to proceed, Yecheng eventually nodded in agreement with Alice's suggestion. He gripped his slender sword and charged forward alongside her.
Alice rushed towards the monster and, with a wave of her mana-infused red greatsword, left a deep gash on the monster's chest.
"Yecheng, attack its injured spot! Its regenerative ability is strong, so we must stop its regeneration quickly!" Alice commanded, her body still stiff from the previous attack.
Almost as soon as her words fell, Yecheng's figure burst forth from behind her, his longsword in hand, and he launched a series of rapid strikes at the wound Alice had just inflicted.
What Alice didn't notice was that the mana on Yecheng's sword was gentler than before, even emitting a warm and comforting light.
"Maiden, rest assured. I'll pull you out of this abyss of pain very soon!"
