Brando broke the door open with his sword, and the sturdy oak door was reduced to sawdust that fluttered in the air like butterflies. His black coat was like a rose that bloomed in the middle of a cracked wooden board. The petals extended forward, and a cold blade pierced out from the center, pointing directly at the noble young man on the bed who had one hand on the Countess' neck.
Akel probably never dreamed that someone would suddenly break in. His face was full of shock, and he shouted angrily, "Damn you, Anurek, where are you?!"
The next moment, a black shadow pierced straight at him, but Brando had already guessed that there might be someone else in the room when he heard the young man's angry roar. He subconsciously pulled back the sword in his hand. Ding! There was a sharp sound that made one's teeth ache. Brando felt that the Halran Gaia had blocked something. He squinted slightly, and only then did he see that it was a transparent longsword that shone like an ice crystal.
"Get out of my way!"
With a furious roar, the crystal sword pressed forward against the Halran Gaia's blade, and it was about to cut Brando's wrist. But the Halran Gaia was pushed forward, and a majestic force was released like a landslide or a tsunami. Instantly, the crystal sword that was as thin as ice was bounced away.
Brando felt the gray shadow retreat, and then he saw that the person who held the sword was wearing a gray cloak that reached the floor. It was like a nightmare under the hood, and the black smoke was so dense that he couldn't see the person's face clearly.
The ghost roared, and his muffled voice was filled with shock and anger. He probably never dreamed that this young human in front of him would have such terrifying strength. He didn't know that Brando was equipped with the Ghost Knight's crystal, and his strength was naturally one level higher than those of the same level. Moreover, it was a miracle that he reached the peak of Gold at the age of twenty.
And Brando was the creator of this miracle, and he didn't intend to give the other party any chance. His long black coat was pulled back in the fluttering wood shards, and another ray of black light slashed at the strange person.
"Flash … Sword!"
The ghostly figure screamed strangely, as if it recognized Brando's swordsmanship. It had already been swept back to the bed by Brando's sword earlier, and now it had no choice but to raise its crystal sword to parry. However, when the two swords clashed, there was a heart-palpitating shattering sound, and countless patterns instantly spread out from the crystal.
Brando did not say a word and continued to move forward with the Halran Gaia in his hand. The next moment, the gleaming sword in the gray-robed man's hand suddenly shattered into countless pieces and exploded.
The monster screamed as it realized that there was an insurmountable gap between it and the young man. At the last moment before the blade touched its body, it raised its head and sent out a spiritual wave that was almost visible to the naked eye, piercing straight into Brando's brain.
Mental Attack.
The speed of the spiritual wave was extremely fast, and the distance between the two of them was extremely close, leaving no time or space for Brando to dodge. The moment Brando reacted, this mental attack had already pierced into his mind.
Unfortunately, the ghostly figure had obviously targeted the wrong person this time.
Brando's willpower attribute had reached a terrifying number after being strengthened by the Blood of God. After the lightning core was implanted, it was even more heaven-defying. Thus, the willpower barrier created by it could even be immune to most spells, let alone spiritual attacks.
When the ghostly figure's spiritual attack collided with Brando's willpower barrier, it was as if it had collided with a 1,000mm thick steel plate. Brando felt that someone was spying on him in his willpower domain, and he could not help but sneer in his heart. He coldly watched as the spiritual wave seemed to have collided with an invisible wall and shattered into pieces. Then, the resulting backlash swept back at ten times the speed.
Brando glared at the other party coldly.
The ghostly figure suddenly let out a shrill scream. It held its head and shook it wildly. However, it was of no use. Everyone present heard a crisp 'crack' sound, and then the monster's head exploded like a glass ball.
Brando secretly cursed. He thought that he would see the legendary scene of the brain exploding and blood splattering all over the room. Of course, it did not matter to him, but don't forget that there were a few ladies here. Who knows, maybe his name would spread throughout Ampere Seale.
But he did not expect to see the monster's head explode like a crystal ball in the next moment. Pieces of crystal flew in all directions like blades, piercing the whole room.
Brando hurriedly activated the Conflict Halo, and the pieces of crystal collided with the Magic Shield and flew in all directions. In the end, he did not end up exploding into a hornet's nest.
On the other hand, the young nobleman named Akel was not so lucky. He was watching the fight in the house with a shocked expression. Who would have thought that his subordinates would turn into a suicide attack? When countless crystal shards exploded, he was almost completely in front of Dilferi, shielding her with his body.
So, the end result was obvious.
The moment the crystal shards exploded, hundreds of steel needle-like shards pierced into his entire body, riddling his handsome face with holes. One of the shards even pierced his eyeball, causing his right eye to flow out of its socket like a lump of rotten meat.
Akel, who was covered in blood, seemed to be stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately held his face in his hands and screamed miserably on the bed. That shrill scream was like an animal sent to the slaughterhouse, making people shudder.
Dilferi, who was pressed on the bed, did not know where the strength came from. She took the opportunity to push this guy away and struggled to jump off the bed. But she forgot that she could not walk at all. She fell off the edge of the bed and hit the floor hard. With a muffled thud, the countess cried in pain.
Brando's heart ached when he saw this. He hurriedly walked over and pulled Dilferi behind him. The countess' face was pale and she was trembling. She did not even realize that the buttons on her clothes were all open, revealing her naked body. She did not even have the strength to hold on to Brando's sleeves. If it were not for Brando supporting her, the girl would have collapsed to the floor at any time.
"Are you okay?"
"Mr. Brando … I …" Dilferi seemed to have experienced a nightmare. The tears on her cheeks had not dried, but she could not say a word.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here." Brando comforted her.
He looked at the bloody man who was wailing on the bed. In fact, Akel had completely dyed the sheets red. Some strips of cloth stuck to his wounds and tore open new wounds, causing more blood to flow out from the wounds. Soon, this guy lost his strength and screamed miserably. He trembled on the bed as if he was afraid of touching any small wound.
His wailing gradually turned into painful whimpers.
It was obvious that this guy was not going to live. However, Brando did not have the slightest sympathy in his heart, especially when he saw Dilferi like this. He was so angry that if he could, he would go up and cast two more healing spells on the guy so that he could enjoy the 'taste' of pain before he died.
At this time, Princess Gryphine rushed up to the second floor. Her face changed when she saw the scene in the room. She then looked at Dilferi and understood what had happened. "Beast." Her Royal Highness spat out this word coldly.
"Who is he?" Brando asked.
"I don't want to say this guy's name. He is worse than a beast. He is the only heir of Baron Dale. He is not Dilferi's brother. You should know who this guy is. "
Princess Gryphine looked coldly at the sobbing bloody man on the bed, then turned to look at Dilferi with a gentle gaze and comforted her, "Dilferi, are you okay?"
The countess was still strong in front of Brando, but when she saw her childhood playmate, she finally couldn't help but cry. Her Royal Highness hurriedly held her, comforted her gently, and threw a look at Brando.
"How long are you going to hold her?"
The meaning of that look was.
Brando was slightly startled.
"Let me take her to change her clothes. You made such a big scene here, the Coast Guards will be here soon. Do you want Dilferi to be seen by outsiders like this?" Her Royal Highness whispered.
Brando then realized and hurriedly helped the countess, who was crying, into the princess' arms. Then he glanced at the young noble on the bed who was almost exhausted. Previously, he attacked out of anger and did not think so much, but now he realized that the scene was a bit difficult to clean up. However, this fellow reaped what he sowed. Otherwise, he would have left him alive and asked him what was going on first.
Now, he killed a noble for no reason, and he didn't even know why the other party was here.
But what really puzzled Brando was another thing. He couldn't help but take another look at the room. "What are you looking at?" Noticing his gaze, Her Royal Highness asked sharply.
But Brando shook his head. He had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure. He pointed to the bloody man on the bed and asked, "Nothing, what about this guy?"
"Please leave it to me, Count, Your Royal Highness."
A cold voice interrupted. Brando and Her Royal Highness turned around and found that Nia had come up. The female Knight looked at the two of them with pleading eyes. Brando saw the pair of eyes full of hatred and anger and couldn't help but be slightly startled. He hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
About five minutes later, a final wail came from Dilferi's room, and then the sound stopped abruptly.
The actions of the Coast Guards were obviously much slower than Her Royal Highness expected. At least before they appeared, the Countess had finally changed her clothes. Brando saw Dilferi in a wheelchair with Princess Gryphine. The Countess obviously hadn't been freed from the previous nightmare. Her two hands clutched the shawl tightly, as if she could get some comfort from it.
But at least she could speak normally. The pale Countess looked up at Brando and whispered gratefully, "Mr. Brando, thank you."
"It's nothing, so what's going on?" Brando asked. He didn't believe that the bastard came from Yanbao just to rape his sister. Besides, he also heard Akel ask Dilferi for something. He had a vague guess, but he didn't dare to confirm it yet.
"You heard it too." The Countess blushed. She never dreamed that she would let Brando see such a shameful scene. It was a shame to the family. "My brother … he came to me for the Ring of the Sword Protector."
"That's not your brother, he's just a beast." Princess Gryphine was still angry. "The Ring of the Sword Protector is an honor given by the royal family to the family of the Sword Protector. That guy wants to rely on such a shameless means to get it. It's outrageous."
Brando nodded. He was not surprised. Erouine's nobles were only left with such nonsense. It was just that Dilferi's brother's means were too despicable. To use such means on a woman, especially his own sister, such a person was just wasting food in this world.
"Why is Yanbao in such a mess?" he asked.
This time, Princess Gryphine answered for him. "It's normal. The Sword Protector is broken. Some of the demons and ghosts that usually hide will definitely take the opportunity to jump out and stir up trouble. If they don't do so, it'll be suspicious. "
The half-elf girl replied coldly, as if she was used to such things. She was indeed used to it. Not only that, she had experienced it herself once. In the face of supreme power, kinship was just a veil that could be easily torn.
"No," Brando shook his head. "I mean, could it be that Count Yanbao, Miss Dilferi's father, has lost the ability to control the situation? If I remember correctly, Dilferi, you took away the three strongest swordsmen of Yanbao, but your father should still have a private army in his hands, right? "
"If Count Yanbao still had a little bit of control over his territory and subordinates, that guy wouldn't be so arrogant." Brando did not finish some of his words, but the princess and Dilferi understood his subtext. If Count Yanbao still had power, Akel would not have dared to come to Ampere Seale and attack Dilferi so brazenly.
Although Dilferi and Princess Gryphine were only girls, both of them were born in noble families and were well aware of the rules of nobility. They immediately reacted, but Princess Gryphine was the first to react. Her face changed and she asked anxiously, "Mr. Brando, are you saying that something might have happened to my father …?"
"You don't have to be so nervous, Dilferi. Those guys could also be foxes trying to intimidate others." Princess Gryphine shook her head and comforted her. "The Holy Cathedral is making an issue out of you knowing demonic magic. I actually know about this. I originally thought that they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, but I didn't expect that in a moment of carelessness … "
"The Holy Cathedral is going to take responsibility for Dilferi's demonic magic?" It was the first time Brando heard this news, and he was furious. The demons were summoned by the Holy Cathedral, and he was the one who gave the Demon Armband to Dilferi. Dilferi was the daughter of a Count, but she couldn't even walk on her own because she knew Demon Magic. She sacrificed herself to save the entire port.
Now those bald donkeys from the Holy Cathedral were going to make trouble for her?
Brando took a deep breath and frowned. It took him a lot of effort not to immediately turn around and make trouble for the Holy Cathedral. He believed that Princess Gryphine was not the kind of person who would sacrifice others for the sake of the big picture.
He looked at Princess Gryphine.
The half Fairy Princess sighed. "This was not Archbishop Wood's idea. It was just those clowns who colluded with the northern nobles. What's more, the cause of the matter was also the fault of the Cruz people. I originally thought that this was just a little trick they came up with to disgust us, but I didn't expect that it was misunderstood by some people. "
This' some people 'was obviously referring to Akel and Baron Dahl. But Brando frowned.
Was that so?
"Dilferi," he suddenly asked, "are you familiar with your uncle?"
"Well, I'm somewhat familiar with him. He … doesn't have a very good reputation outside, but it is said that he is a very capable person. He has always been at odds with my father, but according to the family rules of Yanbao, except for the Earl himself, the lower branches are not allowed to have private armies, so the conflict between him and my father is just to the extent that they don't want to see each other. "Dilferi frowned and replied. She was obviously thinking about something.
"Then do you know what kind of retainers he had before?"
Brando asked.
"I don't know," Dilferi shook her head. "I haven't seen the person Akel brought with him. Niya may know something. She knows more about the flow of people in the territory than I do. "
"I asked her."
Brando replied. But this time, he put on a serious look. "I'll ask you one last question, Dilferi."
"What?"
"Has anything strange happened in the Yanbao area recently, or has something like the Crystal Forest appeared?"
…
