The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 225: Beat Paris' Pride

On the castle yard.

Paris's sword danced, and Randy's flew in response.

Russell, waiting for his turn in battle, had his head grow numb from scratching, "Sir, where this lady is from, it seems it's more violent there."

What do you think of her strength? Liszt watched them proudly.

"Randy won't last more than five rounds.. And my strength is almost the same as his.. Her strength is at least the level of an elite earth knight. " Russell told his truth, but to appear less timid, he added, "It's hard to tell whether her fighting style is more suited for the battlefield or for charging."

Liszt acknowledged this statement. Paris's fighting style was close to that of a close-knit nature. Her sword battle effect is very strong but her charging approach is difficult to judge.

But Liszt was looking for a personal guard and her sword battle skills were good. He said to Russell, Randy is defeated, it's your turn.

Russel took a deep breath, pulled out a steel sword, replaced his expression with a dead-eyed look, and rushed forward.

Five rounds later, he flew out like Randy.

Despite defeating two earth knights in a row, Paris didn't pant much. Her physical fitness and strength far surpa.s.sed that of the earth knights' qi. Earth knights break through by cultivating qi . Paris has magic in her body,which is a special magic that belongs to the light dragon.

She was given the ability to change the light around her, hiding her body behind the light.

During the battle, she mobilized magic and twisted the light, which would always confuse her opponents. She was only using about 70% to 80% of her total ability.

Clap!

Liszt clapped his hands as he was satisfied with Paris's strength. He now believed that she was indeed worth a gold coin a month. Wonderful battle, Randy, Russell, both of you put in hard work given that you were doing so in a fighting style you were not good at. Take a good rest, have a cup of milk teaParis, it's hard to imagine you wielding this sword in both hands so brilliant.

I must hire Paris as my guard.

This was not an impulsive decision, nor due to Liszt's l.u.s.t for beauty it was the fact that she has a ferocious monster arm that has cast a deep shadow on him. It destroyed many of his beautiful images about her and he stopped seeing Paris as a beautiful woman.

He hired Paris.

First, it's a form of reward for the smoke mission that he can't dispose of; Second, as a white dragon gang member she knew secrets about dragons. Liszt was very interested in it and wanted her to stay so he could study her. Third, there was a reason for her killing the aristocrats, but that slate was wiped clean; Fourth, with Maggie in Flower Town, Paris was unlikely to pose a threat. It is a shame she was so aggressive.

Finally, there was one more, he felt that Paris was not a sharp-witted woman.

She was not very discreet on her behavior. Though she mostly relied on her own abilities to save her sister, she went ahead to Liszt's study just to see the baron she heard about. And from what she had said during her adventure to learn magic, she was used as an experimental specimen many times, and still became a thief in the end. All of this supported that she was easily deceived and not exactly smart.

And even after flexing her skills for a while, she still dropped by his door and thus dropped her value.

It doesn't look like something a smart person would do.

Some women are too smart, some powerful women that are too smart are too much. Powerful women like Paris, are more rea.s.suring since they have ordinary IQs  but are not really that priceless.

Baron, don't you want to come out and test my strength?

Over there, Paris flaunted her tall sword, but didn't know she was labeled as big chested and brainless. 

Faced with this level of provocation, Liszt felt no turbulence in his heart.

However, he smiled and said, You can rest first. He had no worthy opponents in Flower Town, but it was a good idea to practice with Paris.

The Magic Eye can peek into stealth, which is a huge blow to her pride.

Those two Earth Knights, who are not even elites, did not consume my physical energy at all. Paris said disdainfully. Good thing, Russell and Rondo had gone to rest at the Apple table, and did not hear such shameful comments.

Liszt was also unpretentious. He patted Tremblingwoods' head, left it in place, and slowly walked towards Paris.

He slowly drew out the Red Blood sword the other side was a living white dragon, which is supported by dragon power, his sword is also supported by dragon magic, which is more advantageous?

By the way, Paris, I want to ask you a question. Will fighting like this cost you your life?

As long as I don't change my physical form, it would be a normal consumption and I will not be wasted. Otherwise, I will have to live a few years less with my hands. Paris held both swords, and her relaxed expression had been replaced with a more serious look.

She felt  Liszt's surging spirit.

It was far stronger compared to the previous opponents, Russell and Randy. Behind the face of this handsome, n.o.ble lord was good strength. She still had some inferiority.

This is the overall atmosphere of the society. Mercenaries and thieves are the middle and lower cla.s.ses of society, and the aristocracy is the real upper cla.s.s. You can hate the hypocrisy of the n.o.bles, you can avenge and kill them, and everyone wants the opportunity to become n.o.bles. Regardless of ident.i.ty, all still fall inferior to the aristocracy.

There was no snow, the sun hung in the sky, what gentle sunshine remained melted the snow on the gra.s.sland.

The needle gra.s.s at their feet is well isolated from the soil.

They could feel the soft texture underneath their boots with every step.

Liszt did not use Magic Eyes yet. He planned to first feel Paris's fighting method involving light and shadow and maybe see her weakness.

"Fire Waves!"

The Fire Wave Dragon Drill was a series of thin jet-like red blood swords that came out like flames. It's effect also doubled due to Liszt's double fighting power.

With this move alone, Paris had to use light and shadow to resist the flame sword.

At that moment, Liszt only felt that his eyes were blooming, and Paris's figure seemed to move instantly. He took a step back. He instinctively wanted to adjust the red blood sword's trajectory.

But was restrained by his inflexibility.

His attack was still fixed on the original spot.

Bang!

The red blood sword was blocked by the big sword, and Paris's figure appeared again, but she had already moved one step to the right, so Liszt's attack was off.

In the next few rounds, no matter how hard Liszt tried to lock his eyes on her, he still couldn't capture Paris's true figure.

This unexpected light and shadow manipulation is a headache.

But if it weren't for the fact that Paris was careful and defensive, because of his powerful attack force, wide range of attack areas, and its explosive nature, it would have been possible for Paris to be quickly defeated.

And it is also this weird fighting method that allowed Liszt's fighting experience to continue to rise, and he slowly learned to fight by predicting Paris's next position. He gradually reversed the situation and began to force Paris to have a solid defense and unable to fight back.

In terms of physical quality, his level is same to that of Marcus. Without light and shadow, I can beat her any time!

Liszt's heart was clear and he had judged Paris's true level, so he no longer retained his strength and quickly cast his Magic Eye.

The next moment, the human figure composed of magic power has completely exposed Parris's position through light and shadow.

Qi broke out on the Red Blood Sword edge. He slashed the sword to the position where Paris retreated and exerted the ultimate technique, Fire Wave Dragon Drill!. In the opponent's startled eyes, the Red Blood Sword was wrapped in an explosive surging qi, and it went through her heavy sword.

Paris's sword rolled over.

Liszt put his red blood sword back into its sheath.

Liszt resisted the urge to pant, walked towards Paris who fell down, stretched out his hand, pulled her up, and smiled, I now know your strength and power as a black dragon. With the help of light and shadow, you are slightly better than the average elite earth knight.
