The red sword blade drew an exquisite, natural arc in the air.
Like a long blood-colored rainbow, it fell straight towards Lille's body.
Looking at the sharp edge that broke through the air, a hint of doubt flashed in Lille's eyes.
There is no shortage of strong swordsmen in the Western Continent, but the vast majority of them practice both magic and martial arts. For example, they wrap their holy relic swords with the flames of their fire pets, so that every slash is enchanted with the fire element, making them invincible.
However, from the sword in front of him, Lier clearly did not detect any fluctuations of elements or spells.
That was just the most ordinary slash.
You think you can stop me with just this one strike?
Lille's figure suddenly accelerated, like a ghost in the night, with erratic steps.
The next moment, the figure in the tuxedo suddenly became blurred and split into three shadows.
...
...
He didn't think that such a plain sword from Char could hurt him as a title-level beastmaster, but Lille didn't choose to take it head-on.
The racial skill of the phantom fox: "Phantom".
As the name suggests, after being activated, it can differentiate into several phantom-like incarnations.
If it is just a trick to confuse the vision, it does not have much practical significance. There are too many abilities to see through such illusions.
However, the phantom fox's phantom body, although an incarnation, can also be regarded as a real entity.
In other words, even if it was a fake body the moment before, it can be transformed into the real body in just a moment of thought.
This is how Lille got his nickname "Silver Fox", a master of disguise and extremely cunning... a name that struck fear into the hearts of countless enemies of the Borgia family.
There were countless people who thought they had seen through Lille's disguise and confidently attacked towards his true body, only to miss their target and be killed by Lille while staggering.
This time, facing a young man who had just broken through the fourth ring, it would naturally be no exception.
but--
A thousandth of a second later.
The red, blood-ink sword light once again appeared in Lille's eyes.
The sword tip became vague and scattered into three pieces.
Two flashes.
Based on the original first arc slash, there are two more trajectories.
One goes from top to bottom, and the other blocks the left and right.
No detours are allowed.
It was like a prison track, blocking all three incarnations of Lille.
"Is it also an illusion?"
This was Lille's first reaction.
But the next moment, he felt the cutting sensation in his flesh and felt intense pain.
Lil is not the kind of melee beastmaster who specializes in hand-to-hand combat. Because of the existence of the skill "Phantom Body", he has added all his ability points to attack and agility.
But that was also a genuine six-ring body, and his physical fitness had been enhanced through six soul contracts.
Facing a young man who had just broken through the fourth ring, his defense was broken so easily.
In this case——
Then change to a phantom body.
Lil's thoughts moved slightly, and a vague phantom gradually became clear and condensed into a solid entity.
However, the pain caused by being cut by the sharp sword energy did not diminish at all.
"How is that possible!"
Lil's eyes widened in horror.
It goes against human cognition.
No, it goes against the principles of the world.
Ignoring the concepts of time and space, he slashed three times at the same moment.
It was not an illusion; instead, these three strikes were all real.
There was no room to dodge, and no space for defense.
The next moment, that bloody slash engulfed him. …
Snap——
The heavy object fell to the ground with a dull sound.
That was the thing that was once called Lille.
But now, it is just a lifeless corpse.
Deathly silence.
The entire process may seem complicated, but it actually only takes less than three breaths.
Just a moment ago, everyone was shocked that Lil pretended to support Histalia, but suddenly jumped up.
Many guests who were inclined towards the royal family subconsciously wanted to stop it, but were secretly delayed by the guests from the old aristocracy.
Although he was smiling on the surface, as someone at the pinnacle of power in the entire empire, he actually saw through many people.
After saying "pay your debts and pay with your life", Char has become a huge threat to the Borgia family and even the entire old aristocratic system.
They were unwilling to risk facing the wrath of the Second Princess by attacking Char, but of course they were happy to see Liel succeed and reap the benefits.
But no one expected it.
In just a blink of an eye, Lille, a title-level beastmaster, who was a butler but a powerful man who was treated with courtesy by many old nobles, turned into a cold corpse.
Char looked down at the lifeless corpse in front of him, and the red in his eyes slowly dissipated.
"God avoids"
According to the concepts of traditional beastmasters, including the system panel display, the upper limit of the proficiency of a single pet skill is "transcendence" after "perfection".
However, this does not mean that after reaching the level of "transcendence", there is no more room for improvement.
After paying the price of fifteen sands of time, Char used "Slash", a skill that had already reached its peak and was close to perfection, as the foundation and sublimated it into "Divine Evasion".
This was the first super-class skill that Red and Char had learned. Of course, now that he had broken through the fourth ring, "Amaterasu" had also been promoted from "quasi-super-class" to "super-class".
The divine avoidance that was sublimated from the slashing attack still seemed to have the effect of just a simple sword swing.
However, as a true super-class skill, the characteristic of "Divine Evasion" is that it cannot be dodged and will definitely hit.
It's just like the magic spear in ancient mythology that can reverse cause and effect.
The moment the sword was swung, Lille's fate of being hit by the sword was already set. Unless he also possessed the power to interfere with fate, there was no way to escape it.
"This is the second one."
Char's whisper echoed in the hall.
At that moment, everyone knew the meaning of his words.
As the butler of the Borgia family, most of the affairs of the Scarlet Rose would go through Lille's hands...The letter that instigated Warwick was sent by Lille himself.
And now, the butler who had served the Scarlet Rose family diligently and loyally for decades had followed in Warwick's footsteps.
Char looked around at the guests in the distance, his eyes were eerily calm.
Those Borgia people who were originally ready to take action actually hesitated at this moment.
Of course, they could see that Lille underestimated his enemy and thought he could easily defeat Char, so he didn't even summon his pet.
And it was Char's sword skills that perfectly restrained Lille's ability, which was why he ended up with such a tragic end. There are many examples of beastmasters fighting each other and the weak defeating the strong due to their own weakness.
But they were still shocked.
A title-level beastmaster died in such an unclear manner. Who can guarantee that when he takes action, Char will not pull out another trump card?
With her golden hair fluttering, Airola came in front of Char.
The silver-white knight's spear was pointed diagonally at the crowd in front of him, and the illusory aurora gathered on the tip of the spear.
As if sensing its master's intention, the lance of the knight named Rongominiard was shining with a hot silver light.
There is an ancient, vast mystery that is reviving in the body of this knight's spear.
Others would talk about her identity as the orphan of Winter Flower, but in fact, in Airola's heart, there has never been a trace of hesitation.
That was the promise they made many years ago. On that day, she entrusted her life to the young man in front of her.
So no matter what decision Char makes, Airola will always follow him and clear the obstacles for him... no matter if they are rich or poor, until the end of death.
It doesn't matter whether she will face mountains of swords and seas of fire, or thousands of troops.
