In the Name of Empress-Chapter 517 - 328: Hey, Girl Fight! (Part 4)

Sofia almost laughed in anger at Roland.

She always knew Roland was shameless, but she didn’t expect his ability to distort facts to be so profound.

Giving up the initial advantage? One must have the initiative first to say such a thing. Could Roland’s team seize the initiative before her?

This was clearly feigning generosity with things that didn’t belong to him.

Moreover, he shifted the blame for breaking diplomatic etiquette back onto Sofia.

After all, this was West City; Sofia might have the upper hand, but it was impossible for her to stare down both the Forbidden Guard and Roland’s defenses to kill them all before exhausting herself.

Roland’s multidimensional defense left Sofia in a dilemma.

Just when he thought Sofia would attack in a fit of rage, her furious expression gradually returned to an icy calm.

"Is this your choice? I hope you won’t regret it."

After saying this, Sofia’s body gradually became translucent, with azure ice crystals appearing around her as her slender figure disappeared into the blue mist.

This was a highly advanced escape technique.

Utilizing the special ability of the Ice Element, she tore open space and seized the opportunity to leave.

Of course, Sofia wasn’t escaping; she wasn’t afraid of these small fries. Well, their strength had surpassed small fries, perhaps more like sturdy little lobsters.

In short, she just didn’t want to kill under the control of negative emotions.

She would kill these people, but not in anger, rather with absolute calm.

Of course, some grudges she would leave for her future self, while some had to be avenged now.

Just as Sofia vanished, the ice crystals she summoned turned into blades, flying toward Christine, who was protected behind them.

Sofia always sought revenge, never leaving it overnight.

She saw through the dark red threads of fate connecting Roland and others.

There were five endpoints, one empty, and Christine was not among them.

Sofia didn’t quite understand why Christine wasn’t included, but this was good too; she only needed to kill one person.

Real strong people never look back at explosions.

She herself took action, even with only seventy percent of her strength, it was enough to leave a lasting memory for the blustering charlatan.

Ice crystals like knives, knives like lightning, they arrived before Christine in the blink of an eye.

Roland raised the Shield of Light to try to block them.

The shield was instantly shattered, and the violent explosion blasted him away.

Flying through the air, Roland didn’t chant; he instantaneously cast Divine Protection, offering Christine a momentary invincibility.

Golden light enveloped Christine, and her already fair face appeared even more holy under the golden light.

Countless ice crystals exploded on the sanctuary formed by Divine Protection, creating ear-piercing booms.

Cold air spread, Lisa screamed, holding her frostbitten arm she backed up several paces to steady herself, her beautiful dress torn in several places.

Alina was worse off; her defensive ability was weaker than Lisa’s, and she was directly blown back over ten meters by the shock wave, her body softly pressed against the wall like a picture losing its thumbtack, sliding down to the corner.

Sif was at least a warrior, much stronger in ability than Lisa and Alina, and being naturally cautious she wore custom chain armor under her robe, absorbing most of the impact.

She only backed up a few steps, spat out blood, then steadied herself.

Roland was furthest from Christine, and as a Holy Knight, his defensive ability was the strongest.

Though he was explosively flung away somewhat embarrassingly, he wasn’t truly harmed.

However, Christine, who was the focus of the bombardment, didn’t fare well.

The power bestowed upon her by the Goddess could only be used to attack, not defend—it was unusable.

She could only rely on various defensive abilities and Roland’s Divine Protection to withstand it.

The ice crystals summoned by Fury of the Frost were too numerous, though the majority were blocked by Divine Protection, there were still dozens that exploded after the protection ended.

The ice fragments easily tore through Christine’s defenses, like hailstones striking down.

Christine screamed, her body bloodied, and fainted on the spot.

Sif, regaining herself, grabbed Christine’s body, gently embracing the pitiful Miss Saintess.

Luckily Roland blocked ninety percent of the attacks, so while there were many wounds, they were not fatal.

However...

Sif looked at Christine’s face and chest, bloodied and injured from the explosion, somewhat distressed.

While perhaps not enough to ruin her appearance, scars would likely remain.

Christine’s rank in the female charm list fluctuated between fifth and seventh, considering her skimpy figure as a demerit, which showed how beautiful her facial features were.

If judged purely by her face, though she couldn’t compare to Sif, she could rival Sofia.

These scars would cause a fatal blow to her beauty.

Sif even felt Sofia hadn’t intended to kill her, but rather was aiming for disfigurement.

That woman was truly terrifying.

Christine had only called her a spinster, and she retaliated with disfigurement?

Sif silently thought to herself, she could never do something so cruel—if someone insulted her like that, she would just kill them, never ruin such a beautiful face.

The scrambling Lisa and Alina also came over.

Sofia’s attack left them with lingering fear.

The girls almost simultaneously turned their eyes to Roland, with apprehension and a hint of dread.

Facing such a brutal enemy, did they really have a chance of winning?

Seeing the young women’s eyes controlled by negative emotions, Roland knew he had to do something to restore their confidence.

Fortunately, he excelled in this regard.

Smiling, he clapped his hands and said loudly, "Good."

"Huh?" X3

This time not only Alina didn’t understand, but even Sister Lisa, who usually understood Roland, and his beloved Sif were bewildered.
