chapter 349 part 2
A Holy Kingdom squad, led by Remedios, was confronting a member of the Sunlight Scripture.
"Who do you think you're talking to!"
Remedios held a member of the Sunlight Scripture by his collar with one hand, speaking coldly from a commanding position.
"I, I didn't!"
The scripture member was a bit stunned and subconsciously took a step back.
But as a magic caster, how could he compare to the speed of a warrior?
Remedios looked at the frightened scripture member before her with disdain in her eyes. "Did the Slane Theocracy not teach you the proper etiquette when facing a person of higher rank from another nation?"
Despite being taller, he was easily grabbed by the collar and lifted with a single hand by Remedios.
The commotion here!
It caused all the other members of the Sunlight Scripture present to assume a guarded stance, and the atmosphere grew tense.
Captain Ian was the last to walk out of the castle. His usually gentle face had become troubled and ugly, a rare sight during this period.
Not only had their mission made no progress, but the appearance of the people from the Holy Kingdom had added many new complications. It was impossible for them to have appeared here by chance.
Clearly, it was that Leader Tang of Free Will who had sent someone to notify the Holy Kingdom, which meant that the other party was wary of their Slane Theocracy.
It was all the Wind Flower Scripture's fault!
Why did they have to snatch the potion that Leader Tang was giving to the Holy Kingdom?
Captain Ian was actually a bit resentful that the Cardinals hadn't considered things more thoroughly, but of course, he would never let this thought show.
"Captain Remedios, I apologize to you on his behalf." Captain Ian walked to the front, trying his best to keep his tone calm as he offered a concession.
He didn't ask what had happened.
Nor did he get entangled in right and wrong, because it was meaningless!
The moment the people from the Holy Kingdom appeared here, Captain Ian knew they would inevitably cause trouble, even though he had already warned his subordinates.
"Ha!"
Remedios sneered, "My personal honor is insignificant. I am the Captain of the Holy Knight Order! I represent the honor of the Holy Kingdom of Roble!"
"This disrespect, no matter what, cannot be ignored!"
Shriiek!
The sound of a sword blade scraping against its sheath rang out.
Remedios drew her holy sword, plunging it into the ground in front of her. She pressed both hands on the hilt, her expression solemn and serious. "Therefore—I, in my capacity as a Paladin!"
"Challenge you to a fair duel. Let victory and defeat be the response!"
Behind her.
"Black" Pabel, who had been watching everything in silence with his arms crossed, suddenly had a change of expression when he heard the word "duel."
"The Captain has grown, hasn't she." A gratified smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged uncle, "Pink" Isadoro.
"In my capacity as a Paladin" represented an individual.
Regardless of the outcome, it would not escalate to the national level.
But—
The smile that Captain Ian had barely managed to maintain froze on his face. Given their status, how could they possibly represent only themselves!
What angered Captain Ian even more was that Remedios had not looked him in the eye from beginning to end. The so-called "fair duel" was not directed at him.
This was a silent humiliation!
No matter how furious Captain Ian was, he knew that his strength was slightly weaker than the former Captain Nigun's; he was no match for Remedios.
"Oh~"
"It's the handsome Paladin."
Clementine was leaning against the main gate, greeting them in a sickeningly sweet voice, the corners of her mouth gradually splitting into a grin.
"Clementine!" Remedios's tone was ice-cold.
"Hi, Lord Paladin. You're so serious, you must look great when you cry!" Clementine teased with a light smile.
[Gale Acceleration]
In an instant, Clementine's figure vanished from her spot.
Remedios's pupils narrowed slightly. She grabbed the holy sword in her hand and blocked it in front of the left side of her chest.
—Clang!
A crisp impact sound rang out.
Remedios pressed down with her sword, her gaze sharp as she raised her right leg for a roundhouse kick. Her lightning-fast reflexes allowed her to execute the most appropriate attack at that moment.
"So boorish, for a woman," Clementine mocked mercilessly, taking a step back. However, the short dagger in her right hand stabbed out sharply again.
"Firm Strike!"
A blue light flashed across the holy sword, and its speed and power suddenly intensified.
Clementine's purple pupils shone with excited madness. She changed her stabbing dagger to a horizontal grip. "Unyielding Fortress."
Thump.
A soft, muffled collision.
Remedios's sword swing was nullified by the defensive martial art. Her neat, tea-colored hair scattered as her voice grew even colder. "Flowing Water Acceleration, Firm Strike!"
"Heehee, Flowing Water Acceleration, Super Evasion!"
Clementine not only didn't retreat but took a step forward, her beast-like aura becoming even more intense.
The two stuck close to their opponents, swinging their holy sword and short daggers without mercy.
Ding—ding—clang clang!
The fierce clashes echoed through the courtyard. The sparks from the metal weaponry illuminated the pupils of Remedios and Clementine.
One was frigid and cold, the other cruel and gleeful!
Their movements grew faster and faster, almost becoming afterimages. Few among those present could track their movements.
The formidable strength of the Heroic Realm was on full display, shocking everyone and forcing them to retreat to give the two more space.
"Is dodging all you can do!"
"Your expression is fantastic, completely different from the small fry!"
Clementine's greed and fervor seemed to overflow from her face, her lithe body displaying terrifying flexibility.
"A fraction too slow!"
Clementine was thrilled internally, her eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
A sword-type weapon had a range advantage over the short dagger in her hand. Creating distance would be disadvantageous. Staying in close quarters could further inhibit the opponent's sword swings.
"As expected of the Holy Kingdom's strongest Paladin. The suppression is limited, but it's enough."
Clementine's eyes caught a glimpse of an opening. Her delicate waist bent at an unbelievable angle.
In an instant, the short dagger passed through a gap in the holy sword's defense!
At that moment, Remedios subconsciously turned her head, and the cold, gleaming short dagger flew past, almost grazing her cheek.
"Sky Slash!"
Remedios roared, completely unaffected by the previous attack.
Bang!
Clementine's hand blurred at her waist, drawing another short dagger to block in front of her.
The powerful force made her retreat, leaving a shallow scratch on the ground!
"Not a bad reaction~"
Clementine tilted her head as she took a step, laughing wantonly. "To think you could dodge that."
At this very moment.
On the highest floor of the castle.
Tang Zheng stood by the window, watching the battle below with a mixture of surprise and calmness. "Those two actually started fighting."
He had just returned from the depths of the Southern Mountain Range and hadn't expected to see such a grand show the moment he arrived at the castle.
