Her gaze gradually darkened, and the iridescent purple crystal on her chest burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire sky and shining even brighter than the sun obscured by clouds.
She wanted to prove that she had never made a mistake in choosing the path she had chosen.
Perhaps she herself didn't realize that she was still secretly competing with that blond boy, unwilling to admit that this young man, whom she had once regarded as just a source of amusement in her boring life, had now reached a point where he could be her equal.
She not only had to defeat Tassanya, but also challenge Luo Xiu directly afterward.
The sky was filled with iridescent purple light and crimson flames. The dark sea beneath the ferry was half turbulent and half shrouded in mist. When Neptune saw this, her magic surged in secret to stabilize the ship and prevent it from collapsing.
The battle before us has already reached the limit of the fourth tier. Even this reinforced ferry may suffer some damage under this level of collision.
As she waved her staff, a huge purple-gold vortex slowly unfolded behind Liss. She had comprehended the [Dark Gold Flow] at the third tier, and with it, she attracted the divinity scattered by the gods and the God of Learning at the fourth tier, embarking on the path of learning.
The vortex she was now unleashing was far more powerful than the previous [Dark Gold Stream]. The enormous vortex seemed capable of completely enveloping and swallowing her, with one mysterious rune fragment after another flying out of the vortex. Everything it touched began to slowly disintegrate and be assimilated.
Tier 4 Skill: [Erudition - Purple-Gold Torrent]
At the same time, the crystal on her chest shone brightly with a purple light, and circles of light spread out, echoing the purple-gold vortex behind her. In fact, an identical purple-gold vortex appeared in front of her as well. Instantly, a murmured divine voice rang out in the sky above the sea, and countless fragmented pieces of knowledge seemed to forcefully flood into the minds of the surrounding seeded players.
Tier 4 Skill: [Mysterious - Dual Perception]
Tier 4 Skill: [Knowledgeable Teacher]
This was her all-out effort, an unreserved display of power. She unleashed three divine skills simultaneously, tearing through the clouds and sky with the amplification of two Tier 5 items.
The surrounding seeded players covered their ears, their faces contorted in pain, desperately resisting the incomprehensible murmurs of knowledge. At this moment, the gap between the capital and other cities was obvious.
It's over, that's what most people think.
But Tassanya opened its long, crimson slit and roared like a dragon:
“Your talent is truly undeniable, Liz.”
"But I was luckier."
As soon as the words fell, a huge phantom of a dragon claw tore through the sky, descending with raging flames. The dragon claw, larger than a ferry, fell from the sky as if the end of the world had arrived. At this moment, the massive ship seemed to have become a small boat.
Even Luo Xiu was stunned. This was Tassanya's killing move. There was absolutely no need to use it given the strength that Liss was currently displaying, but she still used it. The consequence of this was that if no protective measures were taken, the ship's hull might fall apart.
He was somewhat helpless, not expecting Tassanya to be so emotional. He was good at healing and attacking, but he had no means of protection. If he didn't want the ship to fall apart, he could only stop the battle or wait for the ship to fall apart and then pull everyone out.
Fortunately, at that moment, Neptune moved again.
Her merchant robes fluttered without wind, her silver hair flowed freely, and as if possessed by a deity, a melodious song emanated from her throat, carrying a power sufficient to soothe everything, enveloping the entire ferry and ensuring that the ferry would not be damaged in such a collision.
Just kidding, this is their college's ferry. If it really falls apart, the price she pays for this trip will be too high.
Under such protective measures, the dual purple-gold torrents collided with the illusory image of the blazing dragon claw.
"boom!!!"
A deafening sound erupted, and everyone felt as if something had exploded in their ears. For a moment, they couldn't hear anything; all they could hear was ringing.
These were both attacks with their full strength, and the goal was to determine the winner in an instant.
As the dazzling light faded into the sky, everyone was horrified to see Lis holding a staff, her face pale, swaying precariously. Finally, she could no longer hold on, her body went limp, and she fell toward the ground.
As she collapsed, gruesome wounds erupted all over her body, gushing blood, and she fell into a coma.
The entire deck was silent as everyone stared at Tassanya, who still stood proudly upright.
Finally, the sixth prince was the first to react, shouting to the crowd behind him:
"The priest! Where is the priest?!"
“Pastor…Priest…Lord Lorenta, who came from the capital this time, did not travel with the ship.”
The person beside him spoke with trembling hands, not because the Sixth Prince was angry, but because he was still immersed in the powerful strength that Tassanya had displayed.
The city with a priest immediately called out promising players who were professional priests, but Liz's condition deteriorated rapidly, and the healing spells of the crowd did not have much effect.
Sisters Hathaway and Hathaway from Kanriel also went. As priests, they prioritized saving their fellow countrymen, but soon returned to say they were powerless to help. Not only were there burns on Lis's wounds, but she also seemed to be suffering from the backlash of the skills she had used, with clusters of dense runes growing on her body.
Luo Xiu sighed, stepped out, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the unconscious Liz.
When the Sixth Prince saw Luo Xiu, he was instantly enraged. Fortunately, his last shred of reason reminded him of the scene where Luo Xiu had just healed Novanpu, which prevented him from attacking.
Luo Xiu extended his palm, and a white light shone from his palm.
Visibly, the wounds that so many priests couldn't heal were healing at an extremely fast speed. In less than half a second, the wounds on Liss's body were completely healed. With a low moan, Liss slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at Luo Xiu with a complicated expression:
"……Thanks."
Luo Xiu waved his hand and smiled:
"I've heard that Miss Liz has a sixth-tier being behind you. If you really die, I can't afford to offend you."
"..."
Liz smiled helplessly:
"...Tassanya is already this strong, you must be even stronger now."
"Okay."
Luo Xiu's smile was gentle:
"Leila has been wanting to play with you. Could you please spend some time with Leila during the rest of the trip as payment for her medical treatment?"
Upon hearing Leila's name, Liz's expression became even more complicated, but she finally nodded.
"Great."
Luo Xiu got up, preparing to call Leila.
The sixth prince couldn't help but speak up:
"Hey……"
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Luo Xiu turned around, his eyes calm and without any sharpness, a smile on his lips, but for some reason, the Sixth Prince subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze.
"...Would you like to...have a duel with me?"
The sixth prince took a deep breath, regaining the aura of a prince and a peerless genius, and looked at Luo Xiu.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiu smiled brightly:
"Forget it, Your Highness. I don't mean to belittle you, but I don't think you have the strength to challenge those above your level."
"What do you mean—wait, what did you say?"
The sixth prince's gaze was vacant, and even the eyes of Lis, whom he was supporting, changed.
"You didn't come here for the Golden Apple Garden event?"
Liz couldn't help but speak up, because the news was simply too astonishing.
"No."
Luo Xiu shook his head, looking in the direction the ferry was heading. The sun was shining brightly there, and the sky was a clear, bright blue. He smiled and said:
"I've come here on another occasion."
After saying that, he got up and left, leaving Liz and the Sixth Prince in shock.
His voice, tinged with laughter, drifted from afar:
"Leila, Leila! Sister Liz wants to play with you! Yes, come on over, she said she misses you so much."
Chapter 221 LV.5 [Slavery]
The duel has officially come to an end.
The once-proud Liz suffered a crushing defeat and nearly died.
These words seem completely unrelated and cannot be put together at all, yet they actually happened.
This duel not only determined the winner between Tassanya and Liss, but also broke through the invisible wall that separated Kanriel from other cities.
Seeded players from other cities began to actively communicate with the players in Kanriel, and even invited them to form teams in the Golden Apple Garden.
Not only because the Sixth Prince secretly canceled the ineffective measure of isolating Kanriel, but also because the strength Kanriel had just displayed was simply too terrifying.
Besides Tassanya, even Luo Xiu's healing abilities were far superior to those of the priests in other cities.
In most people's eyes, Kanriel possesses both offensive and healing prowess, making him an extremely terrifying presence in the Golden Apple Garden.
But in the eyes of a small number of people, the truth is far more terrifying.
“If you want to ascend the throne, Rosh may be your only chance.”
Liz looked at the sixth prince; among the many princes, five or six had once pursued her passionately.
After all, she was among the top ten young women in the capital, and she knew that she was also quite beautiful.
But she ultimately chose Gus.
He was neither particularly talented nor particularly outstanding among the five or six, and his chances of ultimately ascending the throne were almost zero. However, she was a smart woman, and among those who pursued her, Gus was the one who liked her the most. If he were to eventually ascend the throne, he would be the least likely to leave her behind.
And if she doesn't make it to the top in the end, she'd naturally be willing to be with the one who likes her more.
Moreover, aside from his childish temper, Gus is practically a pure and innocent white lotus compared to those seemingly mature princes.
"I see."
Gus nodded, hesitated for a few seconds, and slowly said:
"Liz, do you really believe he's advanced to the fifth rank?"
"...If it's him, it's most likely true."
Liz's expression was complicated as she watched Luo Xiu's retreating figure, her eyes flashing:
"When we get back, I'll tell you about him."
"it is good."
Gus nodded and said nothing more, because Luo Xiu brought Leila over.
He stared at Leila's erect ears, opened his mouth, but ultimately resisted the urge to ask.
"Sister Liz!!"
