NOVPUBAntanas took a slow step forward, heading towards Sinola, who was seated deep in the cell, keeping the Great Love Poet behind her all the time.
She was surrounded by multiple protective enchantments, enough to resist even a surprise attack from Sinola.
Sinola and the ancient chair looked like the center of this enclosed world-like prison.
Most impressively were her eyes, which, although closed, still seemed to emanate a soul-piercing power.
"Sinola."
Antanas’ voice echoed through the dim space, maintaining calmness, but also revealed a touch of caution.
The [Transformation Technique: Human] has a 24-hour cooldown. If she were to leave the prison as quickly as possible, she could not simply release it or she would have to wait until tomorrow to leave.
However.
The movements of Sinola, the Law Breaker, were stunningly quick and sharp.
The moment her name was called by the opponent, her figure instantly blurred, then appeared in front of the two trainee prison guards.
A strangely designed magical rod, long and bearing a sharp blade, had appeared in Sinola’s hand. It seemed like a halberd and also a giant axe.
Her movements were agile and skilled. The halberd was directly slashed horizontally towards the bodies of Antanas and the Great Love Poet. 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The blade cut through the air, making a sharp piercing sound.
Deep cut marks appeared on the metal walls of the prison dozens of meters away.
Sinola’s attack was ruthless. Clearly, she planned to cleave the two in half with this strike.
But Antanas’ response was equally perfect. A few layers of protective enchantment flickered around her, shining brightly just before Sinola’s fatal strike could land, emanating a dazzling glow.
Sinola’s blade collided with Antanas’ magical shield, creating a deafening explosion!
Light and energy erupted in the cell, casting overlapping shadows.
Antanas raised her hand to feed power to the shield. Only the first few layers were shattered, successfully blocking the blow from Sinola and preventing the Great Love Poet behind her from being harmed.
"Sinola, wait!"
Before Antanas could speak again, Sinola interrupted her, raising her rod again to deliver a flurry of nearby slashes far more powerful than her initial strike.
Law Breaker Sinola’s weapon was a rod that could be used for melee combat. For an adversary like her, sometimes the most efficient attack was to take advantage of an opponent’s opening and slay them directly instead of using spells. And the kind of attack magic she was most proficient with was the slicing damage spell.
Enhancing her melee skills was also her way of compensating for her deficiencies when fighting against a combat profession.
"You’re pretty strong."
Sinola finally opened her deep red eyes when she sensed that her opponents were two females. At that moment, Antanas felt a murderous intent deep within her soul. The aura released by Sinola was extremely terrifying and the air around her seemed to tremble in her presence.
To Sinola, killing was no more than a routine task like eating and drinking, requiring no additional emotional involvement.
The sole fact that the two were from the Protoss Empire was enough reason for her to attack.
Sinola paid no heed to her opponents’ words. Her halberd cast dozens of shadows in an instant, unleashing a storm-like chain of slashes upon the woman before her.
Although Sinola’s attack was fierce, the defense prepared by Antanas was equally solid.
For the time being, the prison had become the battleground for an eighth-order battle. Colliding beams of light and metals echoed continuously in the dark world, creating a violent vortex.
"I’m Antanas!"
Antanas yelled at Sinola. She felt a surge of anger, and if it were not for her need to protect the princess, she probably would have fought Sinola with all her might.
Even if she couldn’t win, she could lure Sinola out of the cell and lock the prison, allowing Sinola’s illusion to kill Sinola!
It was not clear to Sinola whether the other party was trying to deceive her. After all, her opponent was strong. She had never seen a trainee prison guard of this caliber. Any relaxation in her offense could put her at a disadvantage.
It wasn’t until Antanas released an enchantment to block Sinola’s movements, a faint blue luminescence enveloping Sinola’s form like a long coffin, that she instinctively performed the inverse computation, causing the luminescent screen to shatter and dissipate like glass.
"...?"
Sinola suddenly froze and halted her halberd. She looked puzzled at the two figures in front of her.
Even though to her they seemed to be two humans, the enchantment technique they had just used was indeed one she had broken of Antanas.
Ordinary prison guards should not have strong seven or eighth-order defenders. Only that prison warden named Melisa was a bit hard to deal with, she wouldn’t die no matter how much you fought her, which was really disgusting.
Sinola didn’t know what method Antanas had used to disguise herself as a human, not only did it escape her detection, but also managed to deceive the Protoss Empire and Herram Prison, and pretending to be a prison guard, came to her prison cell to find her.
The woman with black hair and green pupils behind, no matter how suddenly their battle had erupted, she had not been touched at all. She just watched them calmly.
From a magical sense, she should be a zero-order or a first-order prison clerical staff member, but she was excessively calm.
"Antanas? Have you betrayed us?"
Sinola frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, she could only find this as the most reasonable explanation.
"I have not betrayed the Demon Clan, we came to save you, take a look at who she is."
Antanas denied immediately, pointing to the Great Love Poet behind her. She didn’t want to fight with Sinola again. Otherwise, if her killing intent surged, she might take the opportunity to kill Sinola.
The Great Love Poet standing in the distance had already taken off her mask, she took a few steps towards Sinola.
In the dark prison, Sinola shifted her sight from Antanas’ now unfamiliar face to the black-haired, green-eyed figure.
Shadows clung to her cheeks, with only those emerald eyes exceptionally clear, until she came close enough to be illuminated by the light pillar and her appearance became clear.
"...!"
Sinola was surprised and gripped her halberd tightly,
"Talia...?"
However, Sinola quickly shook her head. She was sure this wasn’t Talia—their temperaments were too different. They just looked similar.
At least Talia could never have such a warm and friendly gaze.
If Talia were this gentle, she would have been married off a long time ago.
But then, if this black-haired, green-eyed young girl is Talia’s descendant, doesn’t that mean that Talia successfully got married?
Just thinking about Talia possibly marrying a handsome guy made Sinola feel like grinding her teeth to bits!
