Chapter 174 The Butler is Watching
Following the updates on Cola Novels has never been so enjoyable.
Lucy saw Richard's attitude.
He also suppressed his smile.
I intend to take this seriously.
Her aura suddenly changed, and a chilling aura quietly spread out from her center!
"Then you'd better be careful."
The words fell.
She raised her long, slender right arm, and a layer of crystalline frost suddenly formed on her skin, the chill spreading from her fingertips.
With a flick of a finger.
A shard of ice, as thick as a thumb, shot out with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Richard's ankle!
This attack seemed casual.
but...
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
This is the terrifying aspect of innate talent.
Let's get started!
Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and the doubled agility brought by his combat skills was on full display at this moment.
Step lightly.
His body twisted to the side like a ghost, and shards of ice flew past his trouser leg, slamming into the ground and creating a shallow crater.
This graceful dodge startled Lucy slightly.
She thought she could test Richard's abilities with one strike, but she didn't expect his movements to be so agile.
Lucy no longer held back.
His fingers tapped lightly in quick succession.
Eight shards of ice shot out from one side to the other, weaving a net of ice that instantly enveloped all of Richard's possible escape routes!
Richard raised an eyebrow.
He dodged and weaved through the dense icicles, avoiding most of the attacks, but the last icicle still came straight for his thigh.
There's no way to avoid it!
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
A magical glow instantly enveloped his entire body.
hum!
—Supreme Shield!
With a 75% double damage reduction and the powerful physique of an advanced combat body, Richard simply stretched out his left hand and steadily caught the ice shard!
Frost spread across his palm.
It then slowly dissipated, leaving not even a trace of white.
Richard shook his slightly numb hands, a playful smile on his face, and looked at the somewhat bewildered Lucy.
"The power is a bit weak, and the accuracy is terrible. Why do you keep aiming for my knee?"
"If you want me to kneel down before you, you'll probably have to wait until I propose to you."
...
I got teased!
Lucy was initially shocked by his defensive strength in withstanding the frost attack, but upon hearing this, she was both embarrassed and delighted.
A blush crept onto her pretty face.
She let out a soft snort.
"That was just a test, I didn't want you to get hurt. Since you're so tough, then I'll show you my true skills!"
Done.
She suddenly raised her arm.
Press it into the void!
In an instant.
Centered on her, the temperature within a radius of 100 meters plummeted, and a layer of white frost even visibly formed on the ground!
Even more bizarrely...
Countless tiny ice crystals condensed in the air, floating silently and shimmering.
--Frosty Zone!
...
Richard shivered.
The flow of magic within his body slowed down, and his limbs became slightly stiff and weak; this was the core ability of the Frost talent.
Within the scope of the field.
The cold penetrates into the bones and muscles, slowing the flow of magic and reducing blood flow, gradually blurring consciousness.
This is a penetrating attack, which even the Supreme Shield cannot completely withstand.
Before he could react.
The floating ice crystals instantly condensed, transforming into dozens of sharp ice arrows that shot towards him from all directions without any blind spots!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sharp whistling sound of ice arrows piercing the air rang out.
Richard dared not be careless.
This formation was far more terrifying than the ice net from before. He flashed away, leaving afterimages in the frost and mist, like a fallen leaf in a storm.
The Supreme Shield flashed intensely, forcefully withstanding numerous unavoidable ice arrows.
Although it mitigated most of the damage, the mana for stamina was rapidly depleted in the blink of an eye.
At this rate, it won't be long before it's over.
The magic will then be depleted.
Richard secretly marveled at how diverse and highly developed his combat skills were, befitting a top-tier talent passed down for hundreds of years.
...
However...
Lucy was far more shocked than Richard!
She is a highly gifted individual with extraordinary abilities.
Despite facing a mid-level mage and even casting a Frost Domain, the opponent managed to hold on and didn't fall instantly!
It was simply unbelievable; the other party's talent and potential were even more exaggerated than she had imagined!
In the instant Lucy was distracted...
Richard made a move.
He pushed off the ground with both legs, his body shooting like an arrow, rushing straight towards Lucy at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
It seems so.
He clearly wanted to engage in close combat and interrupt her domain release.
"Want to fight in close combat?"
Lucy smiled sweetly.
Far from being afraid.
Instead, they actively relinquished their territory.
With his left hand reaching out into the void, an ice shield formed instantly from condensed frost, while his right hand gripped an ice-shard longsword!
"Then I'll play along with you!"
As the heir to the family business, she had to undergo the most rigorous combat training from a young age.
Besides honing her natural talents, she excels in horsemanship, swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and archery, and close-quarters combat is also one of her strengths!
Lucy gave a soft shout.
He charged straight at Richard, sword and shield in hand.
The ice sword swept across.
It carried a bone-chilling cold.
The moves are both sharp and elegant.
But...
Richard's speed was so fast that his figure was unpredictable, and her attacks couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes!
He tilted his head to avoid the sweeping ice sword, took a quick step to get behind Lucy, and then leaned down to get close to her head.
Her lips were pressed against her earlobe.
A magnetic male voice whispers.
"It's really fun..."
"hehe..."
That slightly roguish laugh and the hot breath on her ear instantly made Lucy blush and her cheeks burn!
She suddenly raised her shield and swung it backward, but there was no one behind her!
Although the two had already decided on their feelings for each other, their relationship was not yet public, and such intimate flirting in public was making her feel a little overwhelmed.
What are you doing?!
The housekeeper is still watching!
She glanced subconsciously at the old butler standing not far away, only to find that the old servant had already turned away at some point.
With their backs to the training field.
I looked up at the sky, pretending to be looking at the scenery, as if I hadn't seen or heard anything.
This attempt to cover up her mistake only made Lucy more embarrassed. The brief moment of distraction caused her to reveal her weakness once again.
call!
Richard's figure reappeared beside her as if by teleportation; he was so fast that she only had time to see a blurry outline.
Before she could react, a warm, soft, and fleetingly gentle touch came over her lips.
"you!"
The tactile sensation is so clear!
Lucy stomped her foot in embarrassment!
Boom!
Centered on her exquisite deerskin ankle boots, countless sharp ice crystal spikes exploded instantly!
This attack has a very large range.
She was absolutely certain she could make that slippery guy fly right off the ground!
...
But the next second...
What about people?
Lucy's gaze quickly swept across the area filled with ice spikes, but she did not see the disheveled figure she had imagined.
"What are you looking at?"
A familiar voice came from above. Lucy looked up and saw Richard with his hands behind his back, his figure light and graceful as he hovered in mid-air.
His black hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and he had no support on his feet.
It just floated there in mid-air...
Good heavens!!
He can actually fly!?
Lucy froze completely in place.
The icy sword and shield in her hand vanished instantly, her small mouth slightly agape as she stared incredulously at Richard in the air.
What kind of talent is this?!
