Chapter 267

"Ugh … Ah …"

Intense pain struck Tierre's mind, and she finally lost all her strength and fell to the ground.

She wanted to pull the arrow out of her abdomen, but she found that she was losing her strength faster than she had imagined.

Moreover, the pain quickly spread throughout her body, making Tierre feel as if her life was rapidly slipping away.

Tierre knew very well what this feeling was.

"Hahaha! I did it! "

Jeremiah's ecstatic voice rang out.

"I didn't spend so much gold coins on this Toxic Arrow in vain. You're dead meat now!"

That's right, this was not an ordinary arrow, but a magic arrow with a strong curse and poison attached.

The reason why Tierre did not dodge it was not because she was slow, but because its shooting speed was also far faster than ordinary arrows. Even if the user was a layman, it could automatically lock on and accelerate. In essence, it was a magic arrow that could not be dodged.

Of course, being unable to dodge it did not mean that she could not block it.

If it was Vivian, with her defensive power, she could easily block the arrow.

However, Tierre was the type who specialized in attack and speed, and this kind of magic tool was just right to counter her.

It was precisely because of this that Jorido chose to use such a magic tool.

Under the corrosion of the venom and curse, Tiyerre had fallen to the ground. She couldn't get up or speak at all. All she could do was suffer from the excruciating pain.

"Tierre!"

"Tierre!"

The cries and cries of her companions still echoed in Tierre's ears, but she could no longer hear them clearly.

In a blur, Tierre could see that Merica was desperately trying to rush over, Lucia was slashed by a knight because she was wavering, and she let out a cry of pain. Vivian was also trying to stand up, but she did not realize that not only was she surrounded, but the noble Magicians around Jorido were also preparing a new round of magic.

— Ah ah …

Seeing all this, Tierre knew what kind of cruel thing was going to happen next.

They no longer had the ability to resist, and they would all die in the next second.

But this was something that Tierre could not accept.

She could do whatever she wanted, but she could not let anything happen to the others.

So …

— Wake up.

"Thump, thump …"

Her heart began to beat violently.

— I'm leaving everything to you. —

"Caw, caw, caw …"

The sound of muscles and bones rubbing against each other echoed in her ears.

— Now, do whatever you want.

"Splash …"

Her blood seemed to flow like a surging river.

— But I only have one condition.

"Hum …"

The magic power was like a wave of air, rising up violently.

— Help me protect those important to me.

At that moment, Tierre's consciousness disappeared.

…

"Haha! Hahaha! "

Meanwhile, Jorido was still laughing hysterically.

Seeing Tierre fall, Vivian surrounded, and Lucia and Merica crying helplessly, he did not feel the slightest bit of pity. Instead, he was overjoyed.

Unlike Vasco and the others, he didn't have any grudges against Tierre. However, his family was a vassal of Vasco's family, an insignificant one among the many minor nobles who depended on Vasco's family.

Unlike Vasco and the others, he did not have any grudges against Tierre. However, his family was a vassal of the Vasco family, a very insignificant one among the many small nobles who depended on the Vasco family.

The Vasco family, on the other hand, was a count, ranked just below the dukes and marquises. It was undoubtedly a great noble family.

Under such circumstances, countless small nobles who depended on the Vasco family hoped to be valued and one day be recognized by their master. They hoped to make a great contribution and be promoted.

Jeremiah was one of these minor nobles.

His family was a baron, and above him was a viscount.

But even if he was a viscount, he was still just a small noble.

To become a great noble, one had to at least be promoted from viscount to count.

That was why Jorido had been competing with the other minor nobles, hoping to get Vasco's recommendation and become a viscount, then an earl. That way, he would be able to become a major noble.

Because of this, when Vasco summoned his vassals to the Adol Canyon for the ceremony, Jorido followed without hesitation.

He knew that this was not a small matter.

If he did not succeed in the end, he would be doomed forever.

But he had had enough of the days of climbing up the lowest rung of the nobles.

That was why he took the risk this time, hoping to use this opportunity to rise to the next level.

Now that he had killed Tierre with his own hands, he would definitely be rewarded and valued by Vasco.

This way, he would be one step closer to his goal.

"Die, hurry up and die. Become a stepping stone for me to climb up!"

That was what Jorido was looking forward to.

As for Vivian, Lumia, and Merica, he had no intention of killing them.

If Vivian were to die by his hands, he would definitely suffer the wrath of the Lazahad family.

This was a consequence he could not afford to bear.

The Lazahad family was a marquis family that was even higher than Vasco's count family. Their status was special, and they were not inferior to Elbene's. Even the duke's family did not dare to slight them. Even Vasco would not dare to offend such a great noble family, let alone Jorido.

If Vivian was killed, Jorido would be sacrificed by Vasco and handed over to the Lazahad family to deal with.

Therefore, not only would Jorido not kill Vivian, but he would also protect her well.

As for Merica and Lumia, the lives and deaths of these two girls did not matter much.

However, it would be a pity to kill them just like that.

Jorido stared at Lucia, who had fallen to the ground, and Merica, who was hugging Tiyerre and crying. His eyes were burning with passion.

He was going to personally take care of these two girls and enjoy them to his heart's content.

"Go! Get them! "

The anticipation for the future and the passion in his heart made Jorido high-spirited as he gave orders to everyone around him.

"Take down those women!"

This was the first step on his path to success.

That was what Jorido thought.

He had no idea that what awaited him next was an endless hell.

"Boom!"

All of a sudden, the atmosphere rumbled.

It was caused by the surging of incomparably violent mana.

The heavy, oppressive, and terrifying mana was like an invisible storm that engulfed the entire area, causing all the nobles and knights who were about to rush out to freeze in place, their faces filled with fear.

Among them was Jorido.

"This … This is …"

Vivian, Lumia, and Merica were also startled by this.

Immediately after, Merica was the first to recognize the owner of this mana, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

In the next second, a figure suddenly descended from mid-air and appeared in front of everyone.

The berserk magical power was gushing out from his body.

"Shien!"

Vivian's eyes widened, and she finally stood up in surprise.

The person who had come was Shien.
