The blades flashed, the two weapons in the girl's hands gleaming with a cold light as they aimed straight for the wolf's neck. Her movements were incredibly fast and decisive, without any warning.
At this point, the grey wolf was truly irritated, it roared and leaped to avoid the attack. But the girl's movements did not stop there, the blade in her hand suddenly changed direction, aiming straight for the wolf's belly to slash. It was only then that it became clear how sharp the edges of the girl's blades were. Despite the wolf's agile movements, it was still struck by a blow.
A tuft of wolf fur fell to the ground, leaving a deep cut half an inch deep on its skin, exposing some white fat. Fortunately, its thick skin and flesh meant that it only suffered a minor injury, if its reaction had been a little slower, it might have actually been gutted by the girl.
"Grunt!"
The grey wolf felt extremely humiliated; it was a high-level monster, and this girl had only reached the peak of the intermediate level. The gap between humans and monsters was extremely severe, not to mention that monsters were stronger than humans, even of the same level, a monster could easily kill a human practitioner, as easily as killing a chicken.
Yet, the girl in front of it displayed a strength completely beyond its expectations. Her movements were both swift and precise.
Especially notable were the two weapons in her hands, not only sharp but also strangely agile. Even though the speed and reaction of the grey wolf had reached the peak of its class, it still couldn't escape the blade's reach to its body.
"Hmph, still too slow, I was just a bit away from making this wolf my prey!" The girl stuck out her tongue, licking her lips in dissatisfaction.
Claude, standing to the side, was also wide-eyed and agape. According to the system's display, this girl was only a mid-level Peak Demon Swordsman, while the grey wolf was level 23, meaning it had reached the early stages of high class, nearly touching the middle high class. And yet, this little girl could still injure it, making one wonder if there was any justice left in the world.
The white rabbit at this moment also shrank back to its small and cute form, its eyes constantly moving back and forth between the fighting girl and Claude's position. It seemed very doubtful. If Claude had seen its expression at that moment, who knows if he would have been scared to death?
"Tiffany, do you need big brother to come and help?" At this moment, the rugged young man standing on the sidelines became impatient and spoke up.
"No need!" The girl decisively responded before leaping forward to continue fighting the grey wolf.
Her petite figure flickered around the large body of the grey wolf, blades flashing continuously. Amid the wolf's growls, cold lights streaked like shooting stars, mercilessly slashing down.
After such a long time, the grey wolf finally bore several wounds, and the smell of fresh blood made the evening air even more chilling.
"Gr!"
The injured grey wolf became even more ferocious. It growled, revealing its sharp, fanged teeth from its foul-smelling mouth, and its eyes gradually turned blood red.
"Trouble, this grey wolf is a mutated demonic beast, Tiffany, get out of the way!" The rugged young man, seeing that the situation was wrong, urgently shouted.
But the girl's response was indifferent, with a cold snort: "Hmph, just a beast, so what if it's mutated?"
The sharp blades in her hands flashed again, drawing a beautiful crescent arc aimed directly at the grey wolf's throat to slash down. However, the grey wolf, showing no intention of dodging, lifted a sharp claw, emitting a bizarre stream of black energy, as if a black wolf was opening its mouth to bite.
"Damn it, this grey wolf can attack with dark magic, I can't just stand by!" Finally, unable to restrain himself, the rugged young man picked up his axe and shouted: "Damn it, here I come!"
A stream of curses flew from the man's mouth before he launched himself forward. At that moment, a layer of transparent blue ice formed around the young girl, blocking the black wolf's head.
"Buzz…"
The layer of blue ice shook violently and eventually, the black wolf's head turned into a stream of black mist and dissipated.
"Huh?"
However, at that moment, the young girl let out a cry, quickly rolling on the ground to dodge. Unbeknownst to her, the sharp claws of the gray wolf had suddenly lunged forward, slashing a long cut across her chest, tearing a large piece of her animal skin clothing and revealing a round, shiny patch of skin.
"Oi, take a look at my axe!" At this point, the burly man had managed to rush over, delivering a powerful axe blow to the back of the gray wolf.
"Roar… howl…"
The gray wolf let out a long, painful howl, its large body almost collapsing to the ground. Yet, being a high-level magical beast, it quickly managed to stand up again. It glanced at the man's hands gripping the axe tightly, causing him to tremble slightly, involuntarily swallowing his saliva.
"Swish"
Suddenly, the gray wolf leaped up and quickly dashed into the forest, disappearing from sight.
"Oho!"
"Hey, you big lump, if you're brave enough, stay and fight me for three hundred rounds, see if I don't make mincemeat out of you!" The man, seeing the gray wolf suddenly run away, bravely stood up, waving his axe in the air and shouting loudly.
Claude stood aside, smiling, finding the man somewhat amusing. But when his gaze fell on the young girl with bronze skin, his eyes widened, and he almost had a nosebleed.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll gouge your eyes out?" The girl had already recovered her stance, and although a large piece of fabric was missing from the front of her chest, revealing her skin, she was not the least bit afraid, even proudly pushing it out, challenging Claude with her defiant gaze.
Claude, after all, was just a high school student with little life experience.
Being looked at like that, he felt embarrassed and hurriedly turned his head away, continuously scratching his head, completely at a loss for words.
"Oh, little sister! How did your clothes get torn so badly, quickly, put on my clothes, we can't let the boys see something so convenient? They want to look, they have to become my brothers-in-law first, otherwise, isn't it too much of a loss for my sister?" The loud and clear voice of the burly man made Claude's face turn even redder.
The man's sister gave him a glare, then quickly put on the coat over her body, covering the newly revealed spring scenery.
"Let's go!" The young girl glanced briefly at Claude's clothes, then quickly left the forest.
"Hmph, what are you still doing standing there? You've already seen my sister's body, do you still want to run away? Chase after her now!" The rugged man slapped Claude on the shoulder and then kicked him on the buttocks before loudly scolding him.
Claude, hurt by the kick, involuntarily jumped up like a startled hare, noticing the direction the siblings were heading towards the Young House countryside. He felt that they bore no ill will, so Claude had no choice but to be reluctantly taken along.
The white rabbit had by then reverted to its original form, its ears standing straight up, its eyes darting around as if contemplating whether to follow Claude. After a moment of thought, its body gradually retreated into the forest, deciding to return to the wilderness to live a life of freedom, not beholden to anyone. However, just as it was about to leave, it suddenly shivered. It seemed as though, from somewhere deep in the universe, a pair of eyes was intently watching its every move, causing it great fear. Hastily, it turned around and dashed towards Claude.
"Oh, why is this little creature following us?" Seeing the white rabbit chasing after Claude, the rugged man was puzzled, looking towards Claude.
Claude paid no attention to the man, stooping down to pick up the white rabbit and gently stroking its soft white fur.
"Good little one, from now on, you'll follow me, okay?"
The white rabbit looked at Claude with innocent eyes, feeling extremely annoyed and dissatisfied deep inside, but it dared not object to Claude's petting.
"Hey, little friend, is this creature really your pet?" The rugged man was oddly curious, glancing at the high-level magical beast lying obediently in Claude's arms, scrutinizing Claude once more.
"Yes!" Claude glanced at the man and emphasized: "And I have a name, it's Claude. You can call me Claude from now on, but I won't allow you to call me 'little friend' anymore, got it?"
Although confused by Claude's manner of addressing, the rugged man still nodded in response: "Alright, from now on I'll call you Claude, and my name is Mortimer Young, you can call me Mortimer. My sister's name is Tiffany, you can call her Tiffany or Tiffany, either is fine. But I must warn you, even though you have seen my sister's body, you're not yet qualified to be my brother-in-law. My sister has sworn that only if someone can defeat her, will she consent to marry him. Of course, that person must also be to her liking. Seeing how weak you are, just one punch from her could send you flying eighty feet away, so I doubt you'll ever have the chance to become my brother-in-law in this lifetime!"
"Hey, listen, how could I possibly be your brother-in-law? I didn't even see anything. Besides, in my hometown, women often dress even more sexily than that!" Claude felt extremely annoyed, so he glared and spoke bluntly. "What?" But he could never have imagined that Mortimer's gaze towards him would be so fierce at this moment. Even Tiffany, who was walking a distance ahead, stopped in her tracks and looked intently this way. The white rabbit lying in Claude's arms was startled by the actions of the two, its white fur standing on end. "Hey, hey! What's going on with you two? I... I was just giving an example, and besides, it's not like I can defeat her, can I? How could I possibly become your brother-in-law?" "Hmph, that's a matter for later, but now that you've seen Tiffany's body, you must take responsibility. Otherwise, you must duel with her today. As long as you win, you can leave!" Mortimer stepped forward three steps, pulling the axe on his shoulder in front of him, his eye
At this point, Claude started to play dirty; as soon as he jumped out, he immediately pulled his bowstring taut, aimed, and fired an arrow. However, with such crude movements, he couldn't deceive her. Tiffany slightly shifted her body, dodging the arrow shot by Claude, and with a knife carrying a cool breath, quickly advanced towards Claude's face. "My God, how is this crazy woman so fast?" Previously dealing with the wild rabbits was quite easy, so now facing Tiffany's decisive and swift moves, Claude became disoriented, his steps faltered, and he accidentally tripped over a rock, falling to the ground. This allowed Tiffany's knife to only graze past his face, missing his body. "Ah, save me!" Claude screamed in horror, then rolled several times on the ground to avoid. Despite this, Claude's cries for help continued, making Tiffany both angry and amused. "So, do you want to continue fighting or not?" "Don't force me!" Claude quickly stood up, clenching the bow in his hand, and s
In these memories, Claude saw a horde of bizarre creatures, ugly and ferocious, like a swarm of bugs emerging from the earth, invading towns, killing people, setting fires, raping, committing every imaginable atrocity. Until a group of white-clad soldiers appeared, wielding various forces, magical powers, and spells, easily wiping out the ugly creatures, leaving no trace behind. The surviving people worshipped them as gods. As time passed, humans were born, aged, and died, in an endless cycle, continuous and unbroken. Only the gods worshipped by humans remained ageless, without sickness or ailment, their youth unchanged for ten thousand years. Seeing such a sight, many curious people approached the gods, asking them to teach magic, to grant them power, for eternal life like theirs. Initially, the gods refused, sending those seekers away. But gradually, the pleading of humans softened the hearts of some gods, who then bestowed a bit of their strength and personally taught them some mag
At that moment, a middle-aged man, accompanied by a dozen men in armor, came towards the crowd and shouted loudly."Who the hell is yelling at me?" Mortimer, who was fiercely fighting, cursed in anger upon hearing the shout, but after turning around, his expression slightly contracted: "Ah, Nelson , is it you?""Hmph, what are you two brothers doing here? Are you causing trouble and fighting?" The middle-aged man in front, named Nelson Young, was the captain of the Young House countryside guards, with a strength that had reached the Advanced Peak."No, really, there's no such thing!" Mortimer, well aware of Nelson's temperament, immediately clarified."Really, there's no trouble?" Nelson glanced skeptically at Mortimer, then turned to Tiffany and asked: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"Upon hearing this shout, the crowd completely stopped their actions, and Tiffany, glaring at the middle-aged man lying on the ground, gritted her teeth and said: "It was him, he claimed I broke a famil
Seeing the situation turning grim, Mortimer instinctively clenched his fists, then turned to Claude shouting: "Brother-in-law, run! You can't beat these people, let us handle it!"At that moment, even Tiffany turned to look at Claude, nodding her head. Claude, observing their expressions, twitched the corners of his mouth: "What's this situation? Looking down on me? My God, I have the system, don't I?"Though he thought so, Claude said aloud: "Don't worry, it's just a bunch of rabble, I can handle them!""What, you little devil, you want to die?" The underlings, just as they charged, were taken aback by Claude's words and started cursing.From the system, Claude had already gauged the level of this group. Apart from the leader who had reached Advanced level one, the seven or eight others were only at Mid-level four or five. Such a lineup could temporarily be considered as minor monsters. Therefore, to the shouts of these people, Claude simply shook his head in disdain.Moreover, altho
"What are you standing there for? Did you hear what I said?" Seeing Claude standing dumbfounded outside the door, Tiffany couldn't help but get angry and elbowed him.Claude, who was about to check out the item and prestige shops, was startled by the elbow, immediately exiting the system."So, are you coming in or not?" Tiffany, having called him multiple times without a response, started to lose her temper."What are you yelling for? I'm not deaf, let's go inside!" Claude, hurt by the elbow, glared at her, then walked quickly into the house without paying her any more attention."What..." Tiffany was stunned on the spot, having never been treated like this by anyone before."I... I'm going to bite you to death!"Tiffany screamed in anger and then bit Claude's arm. Claude couldn't help but yell: "You... you're crazy, let go, let go!"But in terms of sheer strength, Claude was no match for her and could only endure the pain from the bite, grinding his teeth and tearing up."You're craz
Not long ago, she had heard from villagers that behind this cliff lay the burial site of many young girls around fifteen or sixteen years old. They were all killed by a black spirit cat with ash-gray eyes. This spirit cat, with lightning speed and claws as sharp as swords, could penetrate anyone's body. Every year on the night of the full moon, it would appear once, selecting the youngest, most beautiful girl in the village to devour her heart and soul. Then, it would rush up the cliff and disappear without a trace. Many high-ranking practitioners, even those with Heaven’s Talent, had come to capture it, but none could find it. And for over fifteen years since, the spirit cat had not appeared here again. But today, hearing that sound, she couldn't help but think of that terrible legend."Damn it, it's all because of that heartless guy, if not for him, how would I end up in this situation!" The thought of Claude's kiss briefly crossed her mind, and she couldn't help but shake her head
After a while, Mortimer set out a large spread of food in the living room, including skewers and fried chicken legs. Claude was astonished upon seeing it. He couldn't imagine that in this world, there existed the same dishes as in his homeland. If it weren't for the peculiar dress of the two brothers, Claude might have thought he was back on Earth."What's there to be surprised about? These are my sister's favorite dishes! Brother-in-law, try to eat a lot. From what I see of your build, you won't be able to keep up with my sister's energy. Try to nourish yourself a bit more, hoping you can last longer as my brother-in-law. I don't want to... ow... why are you hitting me..." Mortimer was rambling on but was abruptly silenced by a strong stomp from his sister."Eat, and stop talking so much!" Tiffany glared at her brother with bullet-like eyes, then shoved a chicken leg into his mouth to prevent him from spouting any more nonsense.Claude, sitting aside, was speechless. If he hadn't kno
Hearing the successive notifications from the system, Claude couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, finally having completed the system's mission, and now he could rest a bit!After an unknown amount of time, Larissa Fox eventually woke up from her daze, her gaze complex as she looked at Claude's somewhat youthful yet handsome face resting on her chest.Although it was somewhat blurry, she was aware of what had transpired between them, and that he had left something of his inside her. If asked whether she was angry, of course, she was. Even though she knew he was saving her, the purity she had maintained for two hundred years was vaguely taken away by him, which she found hard to accept.After
However, outwardly, he still appeared troubled and said: "Rosalie, doing this, will it really be safe? And, how could this poisonous insect enter the protective amulet and attack she?"Rosalie glanced at him with a disdainful look, understanding his thoughts well, but outwardly, she still had to show seriousness and honesty: "Master, Rosalie is not very clear about this, perhaps after the detoxification is complete, you may receive some good news!"Hearing her say this, Claude became even more excited, quickly exiting the system, and then looked at the beautiful body of Larissa Fox lying unconscious on the ground.At this closer look, Claude realized she was truly beautiful. Compared to Korean actr
After posing this question, Claude looked at her curiously: "Larissa, you're really quite peculiar!""Peculiar?" She didn't understand in what way she was peculiar to Claude, but she just smiled softly and continued: "You didn't have to come to this dangerous place with me, but because I was stubborn and reckless, I've brought you here. You really won't resent me?"Hearing her ask this, Claude was momentarily taken aback, but then he laughed out loud. Of course, she didn't know he had a system, and his mission this time was to gather Soul Flower here, so how could he possibly resent her? Of course not!Claude's laughter made Larissa Fox slightly annoyed, but t
Looking at the area within a hundred meters being surrounded by lightning, Claude secretly took a cold breath, continuously swallowing his saliva, and whispered: "This time, I'm really done for!"Just when he was most desperate, the figure of the Thunderbolt Fox suddenly rushed forward, shielding him underneath. And then the lightning began to strike."Boom! Boom! Boom!"Lightning covered the sky, like purple snakes slithering down to the ground, turning the surroundings within a hundred meters into ruins. Whether it was trees that required five or six people to embrace, or rocks as big as half a hill, all were shattered by the lightning. Even several high-lev
While the Rabbit King was still fuming and cursing Claude internally, suddenly, an arrow shot from afar, followed by a familiar figure appearing in front of Claude. She looked at him with a smile and said: "Little brother, why are you running so slowly? You really had me worried!"Claude's face darkened as he glared at her, saying: "Big sister, how can you still laugh at a time like this? I almost became food for that beast!""Oh, is that so? But just now, didn't I see you looking quite majestic and formidable? I thought you didn't need my help anymore." Larissa Fox said, covering her mouth to giggle.However, seeing Claude's face grow darker, she stopped laughing and became serious again, firing another arrow."Whoosh!""Roar!"Immediately after, an angry roar from the Golden Fang Tiger followed. But by then, Larissa Fox had already turned around, pulling Claude along, saying: "Run quickly!"Claude couldn't help but silently lament the unpredictable nature of women."Women, truly as
Claude, desperate, shouted: "But this place is about to collapse, why stay here? If you don't leave with us, how will you meet Rosalie when she returns?!"It seemed Claude's words struck a chord with her. She paused, then nodded: "Yes, you're right, I must live! I have to be alive for Rosalie to come back to me!"Although she was deceiving herself, the hope of living sparked within her.Seeing her change of heart, Claude looked at Hailey, signaling her. The Fox Clan young ladies also regained their spirits. Despite their heartache, seeing Claude persuade their princess with just a few words brought them silent joy. Hailey approached Larissa Fox, offering her hand to help her up: "Princess, let this servant help you out."But Larissa Fox waved her hand dismissively and then stood up with the Ice Bow herself: "Do you think I'm that weak? Hmph, I can walk on my own! Everyone, follow me out!"After regaining her spirit, her aura surged once again, bringing joy to everyone who saw it. Howe
Moreover, Wallace, being a Saint Level powerhouse, quickly found the clues to the teleportation formation. On a piece of black-green stone, countless runes were carved, merging together to form an elliptical circle, just large enough for one person to fit inside. However, Wallace tried every method he could think of, yet he was unable to activate the teleportation formation.Feeling extremely frustrated, Wallace wondered whether he should go back and find a formation master to assist him. But at that moment, the light on the teleportation formation suddenly brightened. Initially, Wallace thought his efforts had paid off, but he quickly realized that was not the case, as someone was emerging from it. Mixed with relief and caution, Wallace quickly stepped back a few steps to maintain a safe distance.After the teleportation formation glowed for a while, the person inside began to step out. Initially, Claude's group didn't know someone was waiting for them on this side. When they emerged
As she spoke, she led everyone to a spot under the tree, where they then noticed how incredibly large the tree's base was. They had been following her for more than ten minutes, yet they hadn't completed a circle around the trunk. Finally, they saw Rosalie bend down to pick an Essence Mushroom from a rotting corner of the tree trunk.She held it up in front of everyone and said: "Yes, this is it! It doesn't taste good at all, but it's very beneficial, Rosalie finds its scent very pleasing!"Indeed, this was a thousand-year-old Blood Essence Mushroom, nurtured by the heavens and earth and enriched by the spiritual energy of the Sacred Fruit tree, making its essence highly concentrated. Larissa Fox's eyes sparkled at the sight. And Claude's heart skipped a beat because Rosalie's voice in the system suddenly shouted: "Yes, this is good stuff, master, quickly give it to Rosalie, and she will exchange it for a high-level skill book for you!"However, Larissa Fox had already taken it into h
Out of fear, Tommy's words were a bit disordered, but Wallace's heart tightened. From these words, he could roughly guess a thing or two, fearing that his brother, Zachary, had come to a bad end. Struggling to contain his anger, Wallace forced out each word: "Explain everything to me clearly!"Even the eight men in black felt a chill due to the killing intent emanating from Wallace. Tommy, like a terrified mouse in the presence of a fierce cat, immediately recounted everything from beginning to end.After listening, Wallace screamed: "Dead! My brother is dead?"Feeling the immense aura from Wallace growing stronger by the day, everyone below held their breath, feeling an immense pressure compressing their chests. The soldiers outside also sensed the immense killing intent emanating from the commander's tent, all of them looking back in fear."Who will tell me, what exactly happened here?" Wallace unleashed his full aura, roaring in anguish.Even the Golden Fang Tiger lying in a corner
