She leaned into Gandalf's ear, lowered her voice, and quickly spoke in a volume only they could hear.

"Next, I'll help you distract Thor."

"Although Yingsi Lan and Park In-maeng will team up against you, your pressure will be much less."

"Then you find a way to escape."

Zhou Huai looked at Polina, and a trace of surprise flashed in his calm eyes.

"If I leave, what will you do?"

Polina smiled, and a confident and flamboyant smile reappeared on her beautiful face.

"You don't need to worry about me; I have my own methods."

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

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

He spoke first.

"I will deal with Polina."

"Her charm is ineffective against me."

"The Forbidden Spell Mage from Great Xia Country, I'll leave to you."

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

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

His azure eyes brazenly scanned Polina's curvaceous figure, not hiding his admiration.

"I'm not interested in ganging up on someone."

"Let me deal with Polina instead."

"You two go deal with Gandalf."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the displeased Park In-maeng beside him, tutting twice.

"Perfect, it will also let me see your strength."

"Look at you, beaten so badly by Gandalf."

"To be honest, I'm very disappointed in you."

Park In-maeng's face instantly turned a liver-red, and he stiffened his neck, stubbornly saying,

"I was careless! I still have many trump cards I haven't used!"

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

"If that's the case, then go get your revenge."

"If the two of you S-rankers still can't deal with one S-ranker on the other side..."

"I will be even more disappointed in you."

He paused, his tone turning cold.

"If that's truly the case, I will consider terminating my cooperation with you."

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

Park In-maeng's lungs were about to explode with anger.

After all that talk, aren't you just trying to flirt with that girl from Great Bear Country?

Your calculations are practically hitting me in the face!

And you're saying it so righteously!

On the other hand, Yingsi Lan, after hearing Thor's words, nodded very seriously.

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

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

"I will demonstrate the swordsmanship of our Sakura Country to Mr. Thor."

"A mere Forbidden Spell Mage, I alone am enough!"

The moment ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) his words fell.

"Clang—!"

A clear sword cry echoed throughout the ruined island.

The black katana in Yingsi Lan's hand was unsheathed!

The blade was long and narrow, thin as a cicada's wing, reflecting a chilling, bone-chilling cold light under the dim sky.

Upon the blade, faint, intricate patterns like tiger stripes were visible, seemingly alive as they slowly flowed.

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

kotetsu!

As the katana was unsheathed, an invisible, extremely sharp Sword Intent erupted!

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

The sea breeze, it stilled.

The next second.

Yingsi Lan's figure moved.

A deep pit exploded on the ground beneath his feet!

And his figure, like an arrow released from a bowstring, or a ghost in the dead of night, instantly crossed hundreds of meters!

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

So fast!

Zhou Huai's consciousness, within Gandalf's body, quickly made a judgment.

This Yingsi Lan is indeed very fast in terms of speed.

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

Once Yasuo successfully completes his second advancement, he'll definitely be able to utterly defeat this guy!

While thinking, Zhou Huai's movements did not falter in the slightest.

He controlled Gandalf to calmly raise his hand, and with a thought.

"【Arcane Barrier】!"

Buzz—!

A translucent magic shield instantly enveloped him.

Almost the instant the shield formed, Yingsi Lan's sharp slash arrived!

"Clink!"

A crisp sound!

The kotetsu in Yingsi Lan's hand accurately struck the 【Arcane Barrier】!

It was clearly just one strike.

But Zhou Huai saw that three dense damage numbers, without any warning, floated above Gandalf's head!

-31452!

-52414!

-85471!

The three damage numbers, each higher than the last!

Just one strike had cut off nearly 170,000 shield points from Gandalf!

Zhou Huai was startled.

This Sakura Country warrior's damage was much higher than Park In-maeng's!

At the same time, Yingsi Lan's shock was no less than Zhou Huai's.

The kotetsu in his hand...

It was a legendary weapon custom-made for him by the contemporary Divine Craftsman of Sakura Country, Omiya Yaoto, with great effort!

This katana was not only incredibly sharp but also came with two extremely overbearing attributes.

One was 100% critical strike.

The other was double damage to all types of shields! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Even so, his full-power strike only managed to take down one-fifth of the opponent's shield.

This meant that the Forbidden Spell Mage's shield value was nearly a million?!

This shield was simply too thick.

Having taken a strike 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 sanction】 in his hand high, and ancient and obscure incantations instantly chanted forth!

"【Forbidden Spell: Gravitational Field!】"

Buzz—!

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

Instantly enveloping the entire island!

Yingsi Lan only felt his body suddenly sink, as if he had an invisible mountain on his back!

The pressure was so immense that his charging figure suddenly stalled, and he almost fell to the ground headfirst.

He grunted, quickly thrusting the kotetsu in his hand heavily into the ground, barely stabilizing himself and not kneeling down on the spot.

And in the distance, Park In-maeng, who had just recovered some of his condition, was even more miserable.

He was already severely wounded, and under this terrifying pressure, he had no power to resist whatsoever.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound!

His knees buckled, and he was pressed firmly to 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 kill you today!"

Park In-maeng let out an indistinct roar of fury, his voice filled with endless humiliation and madness.

Only Thor remained standing tall.

The electric snakes swirling around him completely offset the invisible pressure.

He looked at Gandalf with a hint of surprise.

However, the surprise in his eyes was quickly replaced by an even more fervent emotion.

That was, infatuation.

He actually walked, step by step, towards Polina's direction, enduring the immense pressure.

With each step he took, a deep footprint was left on the ground.

But a spring-like smile hung on his face.

He arrived in front of Polina, smiling.

Looking at Polina's captivating face and her breathtakingly hot figure.

Oh my goodness.

At this moment, Thor felt that he was in love.

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

"Hello, beautiful lady."

With that, he very gallantly took Polina's soft hand and lightly kissed the back of it.

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

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

Polina was stunned for a moment, then let out a burst of bell-like laughter.

She threw a flirtatious look at Thor, her voice sickeningly sweet.

"Mr. Thor, you are also the most handsome gentleman I have ever met."

Park In-maeng, with half his head buried in the ground, finally managed to lift his head with great difficulty.

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

We're fighting! Big brother!

Are you seriously falling in love there?

Did you forget what you just said?

Women are just toys?

Now why are you acting like a dog in heat?!
