In a blur of silver light, Chris moved with lightning-fast speed, aiming to strike Yaeger’s right eye with his blade. Reacting swiftly, Yaeger gripped her weapon tightly and counterattacked while simultaneously evading the lethal strike.
Clink!
[Sunscorch] clashed against the silver sword, producing a sharp metallic sound. The forceful impact only managed to slightly deflect the trajectory of Chris’ attack. Nonetheless, it bought Yaeger precious moments to dodge, leaning backward and spinning rapidly to escape her opponent’s range.
Her strategy was clear: Delay!
It was her only option.
undefinedGiven her current strength, confronting Chris directly was a daunting task. If not for the limitations imposed by the underground maze and his deliberate suppression of power, he would have easily dispatched her in an instant.
Clang, clang, clang!
“What? What? What? Is that all you’ve got? Weak. Utterly weak!” Chris taunted, his voice filled with disdain. As the battle raged on, Yaeger found herself increasingly on the defensive, completely suppressed by her opponent.
Yunuen and Little Fairy watched with deep concern, their worry etched on their faces. In the real world, Nangong and the others remained silent, their eyes glued to the screen. Pixie, too, sensed the precarious situation, realizing that it was only a matter of time before [Princess] would be defeated.
In their hearts, Nangong and Sachiel cheered Yaeger on silently. They had witnessed similar circumstances before, such as when the weak [Princess] barely escaped defeat in her encounter with Old Man Tian. The difference now was that retreat was not an option. [Princess] had to confront the challenge head-on.
In a certain apartment suite, Rakshasa lay on her bed, clenching her hands tightly and biting her lip. Her gaze remained fixed on the phone resting on her pillow.
“My princess will never lose to this exhibitionist!” she thought vehemently.
In her heart, [Princess] was always the epitome of strength and invincibility. Nangong had once recounted the confrontation between Old Man Tian and Yaeger in the Guild’s group chat, but Rakshasa firmly believed that [Princess] would emerge victorious in a true battle against him. She saw Yaeger’s strategic retreat back then as a testament to her unbeatable nature.
In fact, if Yaeger took the risk, she had a fifty percent chance of defeating Old Man Tian. However, the question remained: was it worth it?
As it turned out, it wasn’t.
Yaeger didn’t want to rely on the activation of [Lethal Hit]. Furthermore, she had no intention of engaging in a life-or-death struggle with Old Man Tian.
Inside the Ability Management Department, Mylene’s gaze remained fixated on the screen. “Sister is in serious trouble,” she murmured to herself. As a Grandmaster, she could discern that the exhibitionist was far superior to her sister, like an adult facing a child. Thankfully, his strength was currently suppressed, giving Yaeger a fighting chance.
“This can’t go on,” Mylene whispered, fully aware of the exhibitionist’s overwhelming combat experience, tactics, and absurdly high health points and defense. Engaging in a prolonged fight would only put Yaeger at a significant disadvantage, yet that was precisely what they were doing now. “Unless Sister can unleash that immensely destructive ability again, it won’t be long before…” Mylene’s words trailed off as her wide-eyed gaze remained fixed on the screen.
Deep within the underground maze, the sacred heritage site, Chris continued his aggressive assault on Yaeger, suppressing her as before. His swordsmanship appeared flamboyant, displaying apparent weak spots. However, those with sufficient knowledge could discern that this seemingly extravagant style was, in fact, exquisitely refined, devoid of any true vulnerabilities.

As Chris unleashed a barrage of rapid attacks, Yaeger’s health points steadily dwindled. After a while, they reached a critical point, falling to 49%. Simultaneously, a black aura emanated from Yaeger’s body, and her eyes flickered with a crimson light.
“Are you finished?” a seductive voice resounded.
