She leaned close to Gandalf's ear, lowered her voice, and spoke quickly in a volume only the two of them could hear.

"Next, I will help you attract that Thor's attention."

"Although Takatsukasa Arashi and Park In-maeng will team up to deal with you, your pressure will be much less."

"By then, find a way to escape on your own."

Zhou Huai looked at Polina, a trace of surprise flashing in those calm eyes.

"If I leave, what about you?"

Polina smiled gracefully, and her gorgeous face once again wore a confident and flamboyant smile.

"You don't have to worry about me, I have my own ways."

On the other side, the atmosphere among the three men became somewhat subtle due to Polina's appearance.

Park In-maeng struggled to climb up from the ground, looking at that fiery figure not far away with a trace of dread flashing in his eyes.

He took the initiative to speak.

"I will deal with that Polina."

"Her charm power is ineffective against me."

"As for that Forbidden Spell Mage of the Great Xia Nation, I'll leave him to you."

However, Thor shook his head, a playful smile appearing on his face.

"No, no, no, I've changed my mind."

Those azure eyes unscrupulously scanned Polina's curvaceous figure, making no attempt to hide the appreciation in his eyes.

"I'm not interested in bullying the few with many."

"Let me deal with that Polina instead."

"You two go deal with that Gandalf."

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Park In-maeng with an ugly expression beside him, and clicked his tongue twice.

"It just so happens that it will also let me witness your strength."

"Look at how miserably you were beaten by that Gandalf."

"To be honest, I am very disappointed in you."

Park In-maeng's face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he stiffened his neck, stubbornly arguing.

"I was just careless! I still have many trump cards unused!"

Thor nodded understandingly, but the expression on his face became increasingly mocking.

"In that case, go take your revenge."

"If you two SS-ranks still can't deal with one SS-rank on the opposite side."

"I'll be even more disappointed in you."

He paused, his tone turning cold.

"If that's really the case, I will consider terminating our cooperation."

"After all, I don't have the habit of associating with trash."

Park In-maeng was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

When it all comes down to it, aren't you just trying to pick up that chick from the Great Bear Country?

Your calculating mind is practically hitting me in the face!

And yet you put it so righteously!

On the contrary, Takatsukasa Arashi at the side nodded very seriously after hearing Thor's words.

He calmly glanced at Park In-maeng, who was trembling with anger beside him, his voice cold and clear.

"Your Excellency Park In-maeng, if you are unwilling, you can well rest aside."

"I will show Mr. Thor the swordsmanship of our Great Sakura Country."

"Mere Forbidden Spell Mage, I alone am enough!"

The moment the voice fell.

"Clang——!"

A clear blade hum resounded through the entire dilapidated island.

The pitch-black tachi in Takatsukasa Arashi's hand suddenly leaped out of its scabbard!

The blade was long and narrow, thin as cicada wings, yet under the dim sky light, it reflected a terrifying, bone-chilling cold light.

On the edge of the blade, one could faintly see fine, strange tiger-stripe-like patterns, slowly flowing as if they had life.

At the hilt, two large characters were clearly engraved in archaic Sakura Country characters.

kotetsu!

As the tachi was unsheathed, an invisible, ultimate fierce Sword Intent erupted with a boom!

The surrounding air seemed to be cut apart at this moment!

The sea breeze stopped.

The next second.

Takatsukasa Arashi's figure moved.

The ground under his feet exploded into a deep pit with a roar!

And his figure, like an arrow leaving the string, or like a midnight phantom, instantly crossed a distance of over a hundred meters!

Almost in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Gandalf!

So fast!

Zhou Huai's consciousness inside Gandalf's body quickly made a judgment in his heart.

This Takatsukasa Arashi is indeed very fast in terms of speed.

However, he is still a bit lacking compared to the current Yasuo.

When Yasuo successfully completes his second class advancement, he can definitely crush this guy!

While thinking, Zhou Huai's movements did not pause at all.

He controlled Gandalf to calmly raise his hand, his mind stirring.

"【Arcane Barrier】!"

Hum——!

A translucent magical shield instantly enveloped him.

Almost the moment the shield formed, Takatsukasa Arashi's fierce slash arrived as well!

"Clink!"

A crisp sound!

Takatsukasa Arashi's kotetsu accurately slashed onto the 【Arcane Barrier】!

Clearly it was just a single slash.

Yet Zhou Huai saw that above Gandalf's head, three dense damage numbers popped up without warning!

-31452!

-52414!

-85471!

The three damage numbers were higher than the last!

With just a single slash, it hacked away nearly 170,000 of Gandalf's shield value!

Zhou Huai was shocked inwardly.

This Sakura Country samurai's damage is much higher than that Park In-maeng's!

At the same time, the shock in Takatsukasa Arashi's heart was no less than Zhou Huai's.

This kotetsu in his hand.

It was a legendary weapon tailor-made for him with great effort by Omiya Yoto, the contemporary Divine Artisan of Sakura Country!

Not only was this tachi incomparably sharp, but it also came with two extremely domineering affixes.

One was 100% critical hit.

And the other was dealing double damage to all types of shields!

Even so, his full-strength blow only knocked away one-fifth of the opponent's shield.

That is to say, this Forbidden Spell Mage's shield value was actually close to one million?!

This shield is simply too thick.

Having taken a slash from the opponent, Zhou Huai had no intention of continuing to entangle with this melee class.

In a flash of lightning.

He raised the 【Eternal Judgment】 in his hand high, and an ancient and obscure spell was instantly chanted out!

"【Forbidden Spell: Geocenter Gravity Field!】"

Hum——!

An irresistible terrifying pressure, like a towering mountain, suddenly descended from the sky!

Instantly enveloping the entire island!

Takatsukasa Arashi only felt his body suddenly sink, as if carrying an invisible mountain on his back!

That pressure was so huge that his forward-charging figure suddenly stalled, almost tumbling headfirst to the ground.

He let out a muffled grunt, quickly thrusting the kotetsu in his hand heavily into the ground, barely stabilizing his figure and avoiding kneeling on the spot.

In the distance, Park In-maeng, who had just recovered some state, was even more miserable.

He was already heavily injured, and under this terrifying pressure right now, he had no ability to resist at all.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound!

His knees softened, and his whole body was pressed fiercely onto the ground, unable to move.

Even his proud, handsome face was pressed into the hard ground, leaving only the back of his head exposed.

"Gandalf! I will definitely kill you today!"

Park In-maeng let out an incoherent roar from his mouth, his voice filled with endless humiliation and madness.

Only Thor still stood straight.

The electric snakes dancing wildly around his body completely offset that invisible pressure.

The look he gave Gandalf carried a hint of surprise.

However, the surprise in his eyes was soon replaced by another, even more scorching emotion.

That was infatuation.

He actually withstood that huge pressure, walking step by step toward the direction where Polina was.

Every step he took, the ground beneath his feet was stamped with a deep footprint.

Yet his face wore a genial and spring-breeze-like smile.

He walked up to Polina with a beaming smile.

Gazing at Polina's moving face and that suffocatingly fiery figure.

Goodness.

At this moment, Thor felt like he had fallen in love.

He cleared his throat and greeted her in a tone he considered very charming.

"Hello, beautiful lady."

As he spoke, he very gentlemanly took Polina's soft little hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.

He raised his head, his azure eyes filled with sincerity and deep affection.

"You are truly the most charming woman I have ever seen."

Seeing this, Polina was stunned for a moment, then let out a silvery, sweet giggle.

She cast a seductive glance at Thor, her voice so sweet it was cloying.

"Mr. Thor, you are also the most handsome man I have ever seen."

Park In-maeng, with half his head pressed into the ground, managed with great difficulty to raise his head.

Seeing this scene, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

We're fighting here! Big Brother!

What the fuck are you falling in love over there?

Have you forgotten what you said just now?

Women are just toys?

Why are you acting like a dog in heat now?!
