On the battlefield of the aristocratic district.

Cornes didn't want to use this trick at first, after all, he didn't have a deep grudge against Ophelia, but since he overheard Byron's plan through the raven, he has always wanted to kill Byron and his loyal servants in the spirit of sharing his master's worries.

However, they didn't tear their faces on the surface, Byron and Leonard still looked like brothers who loved each other to outsiders, so Cornes was worried that he didn't have a chance, but he never thought that this time Ophelia would take the initiative to come to the door and kill him.

It's no wonder that he is not guilty, if Byron or Leonard are held accountable at that time, he will also have a reason to defend himself, saying that Ophelia made the first move, and he was just defending himself.

At this moment, the tall door of the Nightmare Mansion opened, and dozens of translucent skeletons poured out of their nests, baring their teeth and claws to pounce on Ophelia.

"Hmph, cheap trick."

Ophelia snorted coldly, drawing her sword at the skeletons and slashing.

If she had a choice, she didn't want to face these demons and monsters, because it was too tricky, not to mention the enemies who couldn't hit the spirit state with ordinary swords, if she touched it slightly, her soul would be instantly drained, and she didn't even have a chance to fear.

However, if she really wants to fight, she is not impossible, because the slash using the power of the elves is not ordinary, and even the spirit state cannot be unscathed.

As a result, she unleashed a thrust sword technique, and this time the attack speed was extremely fast, and the spike-shaped sword qi produced passed through the skeletons' bodies in an instant.

However, apart from the slightest wear and tear on their skeletons, they continued to pounce.

Ophelia had no choice but to dodge, but Cornes kept staring at her, naturally he wouldn't give her a chance to escape, and then, a huge black magic array appeared behind her, and a large number of slender black lines rushed out of it.

Now, Ophelia was attacked on her abdomen, in front of her was a spirit state, an irresistible skeleton, and behind her was a black line that was difficult to get rid of, and she seemed to be able to only dodge one of them.

But that was only for the average knight, with the power of the elves, she casually released a wind attribute magic and flew into the air the moment the attacks from both sides arrived.

Of course, she also knew that these attacks would always chase her, so she thought about directing them to Cones again, and the skeletons that came out of the Nightmare Mansion would attack indiscriminately, and in the end, they would die with Cones.

Cornes, who was standing not far away, immediately saw her plan, but instead of dodging, he showed a strange smile.

Ophelia saw the details, but couldn't understand why he was so calm.

Cornes then blocked the black line with his transparent arm, and some of the skeletons grabbed him, and a translucent soul was pulled out of him.

Unexpectedly, the soul was apparently a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she was seen to have a frightened face, let out a scream of despair, and was finally taken into the Nightmare Mansion.

None of those present could understand why Cornes' soul was a little girl, and he had nothing to do with it.

Ophelia dodged the skeleton's pursuit as she approached Cornes, but was always on the lookout for his attacks.

After that, several more skeletons passed through Cones's body, and all they could take with them were the souls of young men and girls.

In the end, there was only one skeleton left, and he was still chasing Ophelia, and the reason why Cornes stood still just now and let the skeleton take away his soul should be deliberately showing his ability.

It seems to say, you all look at it, the nightmare mansion that makes you scared has nothing to do with me, how can you still fight me.

And this behavior did have an effect, Ophelia was immediately indignant, and her mentality gradually became irritable, she roughly understood what the situation was, Byron had said it before.

Cones has been "eating" children, and his frequent use of dark magic has rarely been countered, which shows that he is likely to use the lives of children to counteract, and it is the children's souls that are used to block the skeleton's attacks, which is how cruel it is.

Originally, she only thought about saving Lilith, but if she really killed Cornes, Leonard's side would not be able to explain.

But she was really enraged and began to attack Cornes wildly, but Cornes had no fear, rather, it was exactly what he wanted.

He also thought that he would not be able to help this powerful knight if he moved out of the Nightmare Mansion casually, but the biggest weakness of knights is that they claim to be righteous, they can't rub sand in their eyes, and even if they sacrifice themselves, they have to fight evil to the end.

Cones' defense was airtight, so if Ophelia made a mistake, he would have won.

Letting so many souls be sucked away is not just to show his strength, but more importantly, he wants to anger Ophelia.

At this time, Ophelia is constantly unleashing sword skills, and she has been using magic to assist attacks, so she is depleting both physical and magical power.

If this continues, it will deviate from the Emir's plan, and Ophelia's magic will be consumed before Cornes.

Cones, on the other hand, is at ease, dodging every time he is attacked, and even if he can't dodge it completely, he can transfer the damage to the children.

This behavior exacerbated Ophelia's anger, and she gradually lost her mind, not paying attention to whether her attacks were effective or if her magic was about to bottom out.

In order to prevent the balance of the battle from being upset, the emir hurriedly ordered Lilith to pull Ophelia back.

However, just as she was about to stretch out her tail and sweep Ophelia away, Cornes unleashed the magic that enveloped her again, and she was momentarily unable to move.

The emir understood that they had really lost this time, and thought that in the case of two against one, the battle would be one-sided, but he never thought that Cornes was the one who really controlled the entire battlefield, and it took almost no effort to play them between applause.

Then, after a powerful sword attack, Ophelia finally stopped from exhaustion, and she stuck her sword into the ground to support her body and gasp heavily.

"Oh? Is this tiring? Young people are really lacking in exercise these days. Cornes sinisterly taunted her.

"Bastard! I'm going to shut you up! ”

Ophelia roared, drew her sword and rushed over, but Cornes suddenly flashed to the side, and the last translucent skeleton actually collided with her head-on.

Ophelia, who had lost her mind, naturally didn't notice, but Emile, who had been watching and couldn't intervene, saw it, and he was also scared, but he suddenly remembered Sain's behavior.

He is obviously afraid of a powerful enemy, but when his brother's life is in danger, he will overcome all fears, and he is not afraid of death.

Ophelia had been helping him all these days, and had even saved his life several times, but he had nothing to do with it, and now in the face of this desperate situation, he finally realized that he had no other way but to sacrifice.

So, when Cornes smiled sinisterly, intending to hurt Ophelia, he rushed out desperately and blocked the skeleton with his body.

Immediately after, a wisp of soul was withdrawn from him, and he felt himself float up, and when he looked down, he could see his body fall to the ground.

It was a strange feeling, he was not scared at all, but felt relaxed, and then he was sucked into the Nightmare Mansion.

“…… Emir? ”

Ophelia looked at the body on the ground and couldn't help but cry, she didn't expect that this ordinary boy would be willing to sacrifice his life for her, but she didn't understand how she could deserve Emir to do such a thing for her.

"Alas, it's a pity that the last skeleton was replaced by a useless soul."

"Cornes! I have to kill you today! ”

Ophelia took off her helmet and tossed it aside, revealing her elf appearance.

Instead of being intimidated by her resentful words, Cornes was shocked by the way she looked.

"Haha, I see, no wonder you don't need a magic array to release magic...... However, this is a problem, if I kill you, will I be retaliated by the elves? Cornes grimaced.

"Don't worry, you're the one who is about to be killed."

Ophelia raised her sword to her chest, then closed her eyes, and then, in her mind's eye, the surrounding houses vanished, except for her and Cones.

Cones couldn't understand what sword technique she wanted to unleash, but he felt that it was a little dangerous, so he immediately summoned a transparent arm to protect his body.

Through his magic perception, he found that the magic power in Ophelia's body was rising rapidly, and he couldn't help but wonder, obviously it was still very weak just now, why didn't it decrease but increase at this time?

Dozens of seconds later, Ophelia suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes turned red, and a burst of red steam was generated from the bottom up, and the sword was also covered with a layer of crimson light.

This is a new sword technique she has created by fusing magic, which she calls: Magic Sword Technique: Crimson Piercing.

In the next moment, her body disappeared, because her magic power had surpassed that of Cornes, so Cornes could clearly sense her position, but he couldn't help but be startled.

Because he found that Ophelia was actually in several places at the same time, but he looked around with his naked eyes, but he could not see anything, and the majestic magic was approaching him from all directions.

A great fear suddenly exploded in Cornes's mind, and a big dead word seemed to emerge in front of his eyes.

"Come on!" Ophelia yelled.

The sword stabbed out and pierced through Cornes' body in an instant, and this time he could no longer resist with the lives of the children.

This sword technique is able to stab the target with unerring accuracy, even if it is separated from another person, and can hit the target long ago without harming that person.

"How, how is that possible?"

Cornes watched in disbelief as his body was pierced, he wanted to turn into a crow at the last moment, but he still couldn't dodge, in front of that sword skill, it was useless to turn into anything.

Just like the inescapable fate, once the sword skill is released, the target's life is also counting down.

And now, Cornes' life is over, Lilith's shackles are immediately free, and the Nightmare Mansion he summoned is gone.

Eventually, Ophelia lost her strength and fell to the ground, beside her the corpse of a young man who had long since lost her life......
