Outside the city of Caanster, on the banks of the Pizza River, in an open field.

With her fiery red hair as conspicuous as ever, Kate held a long sword crafted by the royal forger in her hand, and made a cautious and solemn move that could be attacked and defended. On a large tree in front of her, a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a high-pointed hat stood on tiptoe.

Blowing in the wind, the man's robe fluttered, matching his slender figure, it looked very elegant. With the full moon in the shadow of the trees behind him, the man looks like a beautiful vampire or a dashing thief.

If Edge had been there, he might have felt a little familiar to him when he saw this man. The man's back was a stunning image of the masked man he had seen on the clock tower, one of the two men in black.

Indeed, this man is the masked man who Edges has peeked at the clock tower and has been hired to kill Kate. And his identity is not simple at all, no one knows his name, but he has a resounding nickname: the Red Lotus of the Clown of Divine Grace.

Or rather, the twelve red lotuses.

The twelve red lotuses only show a meaning. Twelve is the order, and the red lotus is the title. The Twelve Red Lotus, the twelfth clown killer in the Twelve Clowns of Divine Grace: Red Lotus.

The clown killer, that is, the killer in Divine Grace. Because almost all the killers in 'Holy Grace' are perverted existences, they have extremely high strength, but their psychology is distorted, so they are called clowns. This is also the saying that the Clown Killer of Grace is born.

Kate knows that the person standing on the tree is the twelfth clown killer in the Grace Clown, Red Lotus. Just now, she was waiting in the dormitory for the people she sent out to arrest Aiji to come back, but she didn't expect to be attacked suddenly. The attacker was naturally Red Lotus, who lured her beyond the Pizza River.

That's how you kill. If it is done in the palace and the old monsters in the palace are alarmed, no matter how strong the strength of the 'Holy Grace' is, a person cannot be invincible, and the red lotus will inevitably be killed.

It can be said that luring Kate out of the court and beyond the Bisse River was a ploy of Red Lotus.

Importantly, Kate was fooled. But it's worth mentioning that she knew it. She wouldn't be so stupid as to know what a killer had lured her out of the court. She was just highly confident that she wouldn't be killed with her strength. At the same time, she also wants to find out who is going to kill her.

Red Lotus admired her courage and was even fascinated by her red hair. He felt that Kate's red hair must have been favored by God, otherwise it would not be so beautiful and intoxicating.

Looking down at Kate, he smiled, and with the appearance of a beautiful man, he was humble and polite, and said, "Kate Renatia, it is my greatest honor to meet you. If I could, I'd love to kiss the back of your beautiful hand. ”

"If you want to do that, it's better to choose the right place. Kate didn't look at him at all, she always looked like she was on top.

"Oh, so you agreed?" Red Lotus smiled.

However, unexpectedly, at this time, Kate waved the long sword in her hand fiercely, and suddenly a fierce sword qi flew out, and the direction was the big tree where the red lotus was standing. Seeing this, Honglian's expression did not change, but quietly jumped and fell behind Kate.

"I just don't like looking up to people and being looked down upon. At this time, Kate gave Red Lotus an answer.

"Mmmmmm What to do, what to do, what to do......!"

Honglian suddenly raised her head and shouted excitedly, as if she had fallen into a state of madness. Looking at his appearance, he really looks like a psychologically twisted person. No wonder people say that the killer in Grace is like a clown, and it seems that this is really the case.

Kate began to be disgusted, she stopped being verbose, turned to stare at Red Lotus and asked, "Say, who sent you to kill me?!"

Red Lotus's madness suddenly stopped, and she watched Kate turn back into the humble and polite one, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess Kate, please forgive me to be rude, I must accuse you of asking me a question that is insulting to my professional ethics. ”

Kate sneered and snorted, "That's really sorry, I didn't know you still had morals." ”

"Has Her Royal Highness always spoken like this?" asked Honglian coldly.

Kate didn't answer.

"Hmm~" Then Honglian sighed and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense, although the night is long, it is also short." I swear I cherish my encounter with you, Your Highness the Princess, tonight. Tonight, too, is destined to be warm and romantic. ”

"Especially when my Red Lotus Flame shines under your gorgeous red hair!"

Incredibly, as soon as Red Lotus finished speaking, a circle of flames suddenly formed around Kate. The circle of flames flickered with swaying flames, trapping Kate inside and preventing her from getting out.

The fierce and huge circle of flames around him seemed to appear out of thin air, and Kate didn't expect it at all. At this time, she was a little flustered, and her heart was a lot heavier. Is this the power of the Grace Clown? Even casting magic can be done instantaneously without the need to chant?

According to common sense, magicians need to chant magic spells to cast magic. No matter how strong a magician is, it is impossible to achieve instant magic. Spells are the root of magic, the reverence for the gods who create it. A magician who can cast magic without spells is either a demon who rebels against the gods or a wizard of the gods' favor.

Devils, wizards, no matter which one they are, Kate can't deal with them.

Although Kate has a good talent for warriors, she is not a wizard and she is not a genius. Her strong strength comes from Ping Yue's hard practice. Compared to her royal brothers and sisters, etc., her degree of practice is several times stronger. So her high strength is not for nothing, but she deserves it.

Red Lotus, as he called it, is good at Red Lotus Flames. To put it bluntly, it's fire magic. It's just that the fire magic he casts resembles a blooming lotus flower, gorgeous and colorful, hence the name. Of course, while the Red Lotus Flame is beautiful, its power is not weak at all. Just as Kate was now suppressed by a red lotus flame ring.

But Kate is not someone to give in so easily. Facing the Circle of Fire, she calmed down and added a shield to herself. It's just that her shield is formed by the warrior's fighting spirit, and her protection against magic is relatively weak. So soon she felt the air around her irritable, and everything became hot, causing her to have a blurred vision that gradually distorted the picture.

"I like your red hair, let's rub out the spark of love together under this beautiful firework~" When Kate felt more and more uncomfortable, Red Lotus placed herself in the raging flames on the edge of the flame circle, and slowly walked in her direction with a light smile.

Kate's eyes widened when he saw this, this guy was a monster, standing in such a hot and ferocious flame, and he was unscathed, and what was even more strange was that his fluttering robe was not burned. What the hell is going on? What is his body, his clothes, what is it made of? Or is he able to control the flames to perfection, to the subtle elements of fire.

Being able to control an element alone and make it produce a magical effect somewhere, this kind of superb ability is only available to the legendary elemental elves.

It seems that the clown killer in Divine Grace really has a special ability to do it.

Red Lotus walked up to Kate very gracefully, smiled and stretched out her hand to the surprised Kate, as if a man invited a woman to dance at a ball. In the face of such a strong Red Lotus, how should Kate respond?
