The Grand Marshal's Staff wasn't an ornament from a noble's house. It represented the Dalajan's highest magical achievement. Sasha clearly remembered that even if she shot an arrow, the staff's magic power would deflect it.
But now, it lay quietly on the ground. There was a deathly still scorch on the ground with the point of impact as the center. It wasn't an ordinary fire, but a terrifying flame that could burn everything. Even the rock stratum itself was destroyed.
The magic surrounding the burn marks was so dense that it couldn't be fooled.
Sasha felt like she was about to collapse.
She suddenly recalled all the times she'd spent with Duque.
The miraculous things he'd done after appearing as her future brother-in-law — turning trash into treasure, modifying the Storm Altar, repelling an army with a single banner, saving Lordaeron City from a desperate crisis, and saving the Red Dragon Queen despite being cursed with death.
Of course, what touched Sasha the most was that he'd saved her from the terrifying dragon breath.
Nothing was more touching than a man who could be relied on at the most crucial moment.
Just as she thought she could understand this future brother-in-law, he'd been captured by the Wings of Death.
They'd finally reunited, and they hadn't even exchanged a few words. Who knew it would be … an eternal farewell?
"I want you to be roasted in the flames of hell for ten thousand years!" With a furious roar, Sasha disappeared from where she stood.
In the next second, in the huge, pitch-black cave, sharp arrows were suddenly shot at them from all directions.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
There was a continuous stream of steel arrows.
There was a silent Elven Wooden Arrow.
There was also the nimble power of wind.
However, everything was resolved by the pair of gigantic flaming wings behind Marian. The wings were over two meters long. It was as if they had a life of their own. With a light flick, at least three arrows would be reduced to ashes.
"Hahaha! Too weak! You're really too weak! With your strength, you can't even make me move half a step. And you want to kill me? Hahaha! " With her left hand on her waist and the platinum disc in her hand, Marian placed her right elbow on the back of her left hand and propped up her chin. Marian gazed at the darkness with a devilish gaze, as though Sasha was right in front of her.
"Hmph!" Gritting her teeth, Sasha activated [Aimed Shot].
[Aimed Shot] was the Ranger's most powerful skill. Corresponding to its power, it was an ultimate skill that needed to be charged up.
In a battle like this, exposing one's position was definitely disadvantageous for a Ranger. The explosive power of a high-ranked mage was far greater than that of a ranger.
What Sasha was betting on was Marian's arrogance. Even though she did not want to say it out loud, she had to admit that the difference in strength between the two of them was too great.
If Aurelia was here, she might be able to suppress Marian. However, Sasha, whose damage had not been polarized, could not think of any other skills other than [Aimed Shooting] that could blast through the protection of that pair of strange flame wings.
Sasha knew that Marian was trying to destroy her ultimate move and deal her a heavy blow, but when she thought of Duque, who had turned into ashes, her tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Duque! Bless me to kill him — "
"Hehe!" She still did not move. Marian looked down at the arrow that had gathered all of Sasha's power as it shot towards her, as if she was looking at an ant.
And then … there was no then.
The raging flames easily burned the entire arrow.
"Let's end this!" Marian raised her left hand lightly, her index finger forming an elegant arc with her arm. Even this light finger of hers was bewitching. A huge fireball instantly formed at her fingertip.
In the next second, the huge fireball would shoot out and blast Sasha into ashes.
Just at this moment, Marian suddenly felt the sound of wind behind her head.
Who? Alexstrasza?
Turning around, she saw the dumbfounded Queen. It was obvious that the Queen was looking in the direction of …
'Behind me?'
Instinctively, Marian activated the power of [Demon's Soul].
Unfortunately, she had made the same mistake as a certain stupid Orc Warlock.
The surging evil flames were easily popped like soap bubbles.
A brick made of ice appeared out of thin air. It was grabbed by a swinging arm and slammed down like lightning.
Marian's own magic shield took effect.
The moment it took effect, an arcane energy that wasn't very strong, but was sharp as a needle, easily pierced through her shield.
In the end …
"Pa!"
Fresh blood dripped down from her forehead, quickly staining Marian's bewitching face.
"Hehe! No matter how strong Pharaoh is, he'll be knocked down in one move. "Marian fainted with a brick while humming something that others couldn't understand. Who was that guy?
Naturally, it was our Duque.
That signature evil smirk, that face that deserved a beating after succeeding in his scheme, Sasha would be able to recognize him even if he turned into ashes.
"Duque?"
"Duque?!"
The first voice was the Queen's, and the second was naturally Sasha's.
"Yes." Duque replied to Sasha with a smile as he dealt with Marian. "It's not auspicious to kill a sister!"
Therefore, Duque fitted Marian with the Spellbreaker Shackles that he got from Cuel Salas. This thing was mainly used to destroy the circulation of magic power in the magic circuits of the human body. For a regular person, this thing was no different from regular shackles. For a Mage, it was enough to turn a high-level Mage into a weak girl who couldn't even truss a chicken.
As a gentleman, he would be letting himself down if he didn't use Tortoise Shackles. But with two important ladies present, Duque just cuffed Marian's joints behind her back.
"Duque?" Sasha even dropped her bow and walked over in disbelief.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Duque?!" Sasha's tone became even more intense.
"…" Duque blinked. "Didn't your sister tell you that I know True Mirror Image?"
Duque continued to spout nonsense. Mirror Image my ass. He really couldn't take it anymore and was instantly killed by the Wings of Death. Looking at the system notification that he had 90% Soul Power and 90% Moral Integrity, Duque was crying in his heart.
But to prevent Sasha from worrying, he could only continue to pretend to be strong.
"Duque? Is it really you? "
Looking at Sasha, whose eyes were blurry and glistened with tears, Duque knew that things weren't so simple.
Duque sighed. "It's really me. If you don't believe me, come and touch me."
"Duque —" From shock to surprise, and then to ecstasy, when all the grievances and fear in her heart poured out, Sasha finally did something that not only Duque didn't expect, but she also didn't expect.
Sasha pounced on Duque and pushed him to the ground. Then, she closed her eyes and kissed him deeply.
"Mmmmm!"
