The First Magic World War-Chapter 227 - 222, the power to determine one’s own destiny

The plum blossoms were more beautiful, the Black Moon colder.

The higher the plum blossoms stood, the more elusive the moon became in the night sky.

Charles had initially been worried that Sister Menilman, who had just advanced to the Sacred Order, might not be a match for Princess May.

But he quickly realized that he probably didn’t understand Sister Menilman deeply enough.

Menierman Sumei was absolutely not just a newcomer to the Sacred Order.

She had always been hiding her true strength.

In the entire Old Continent, both Menierman Sumei and Princess May Guillaume could be considered part of the first tier of the Sacred Order.

If we are only talking about female members of the Sacred Order?

Well then!

Charles Mecklen was ignorant, he hardly knew any other female members of the Sacred Order, but anyway, he felt that Mama Karen was far from matching Sister Menilman or Princess May.

If there were a bucket of popcorn at this time...

That would be too heartless and insane.

Kreel Brittany and Ebner Sumei would definitely beat up anyone who ate popcorn at this time.

Regardless of gender!

Without distinction of age.

Suddenly, Kreel Brittany said, "Princess May isn’t using Red Dragon Fighting Qi."

Hatingen Thunder and Storm University produce the most great knights, whether it’s a Thunder Knight or a Storm Knight, they represent the pinnacle of knighthood on the Old Continent.

Only the Ebulrahan Clan, renowned as the first knightly clan of vampires, and the University of Tubingen they established, could rival them.

However, it wasn’t to say that there were no other top-level knightly traditions on the Old Continent.

For example, the Red Dragon Fighting Qi of the Englima Royal Family and the Frost Dragon Fighting Qi of the Lamblock Family are also top-notch knightly secret techniques, but these secret techniques are no longer found among commoners.

Although Charles had attended university, he was not so knowledgeable about noble affairs. He had always thought Princess May practiced Red Dragon Fighting Qi, even if it was somewhat pinkish, but since they were similar in color, he thought they shouldn’t be too different.

Upon hearing Kreel Brittany say this, he couldn’t help but ask, "It’s not Red Dragon Fighting Qi?"

Ebner Sumei interjected, "Absolutely not."

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "If Krel and I are not mistaken, this Fighting Spirit must be one that Princess May created herself."

Kreel Brittany also affirmed, "That’s what I think."

"This princess is truly a genius."

"Not inferior to Menierman."

Charles could hear that Kreel Brittany’s voice trembled slightly as he spoke, it was quite clear he did not wish for any female to surpass Menierman.

Charles didn’t want to dwell on these matters and asked, "Who could win?"

Ebner Sumei decisively replied, "I don’t know."

He looked up at the sky and added, "Menier must have been hiding her strength for a long time."

"Nobody knows when she advanced to the Sacred Order, but she definitely didn’t do so recently. This Black Fighting Qi is robust and solid, certainly above the Twenty-First Rank."

"Princess May’s strength is definitely above Menier’s, but her Fighting Spirit is self-created. This technique still has some minor flaws, not quite having the perfection of the well-tempered Black Fighting Qi, making her prone to small lapses in battle. For the time being, it is not as refined, but in the future..."

Kreel Brittany added, "The future is limitless."

"This Princess May will undoubtedly stand at the very pinnacle one day."

"Being a knight, I feel somewhat ashamed."

Charles breathed a slight sigh of relief; he really didn’t want Senior Menilman to get into trouble.

For some inexplicable reason, he also didn’t want Princess May to come to any harm.

The three men were powerless to intervene in the duel, gazing anxiously at the sky, their hearts hanging by a thread.

In the air, two streams of Fighting Qi light chased each other back and forth, tearing through the high clouds into shreds, occasionally colliding to create a series of thunder-like roars.

Charles’s neck had grown sore from watching, so he simply lay down on the ground. At that moment, a very pretty face blocked out the sky above him. Startled, Charles exclaimed, "Anatasiya! What brings you here?"

Anatasiya smiled faintly and countered, "Can’t I come to watch the excitement?"

Charles was left speechless.

Apparently, she could?

The illegitimate daughter of Baron Fele, with her hands on the twin swords at her waist, gazed skyward, her face full of admiration and her heart filled with excitement.

She fantasized incessantly about how wonderful it would be if she were also so powerful.

Anatasiya considered herself quite strong among her peers, with few being stronger than her, but compared to Menilman and Princess May, she was still not strong enough!

Anatasiya had an insatiable desire for power.

She cared not one bit about love; she simply wanted the power to determine her own fate.

Charles glanced around and noticed that nearly all of his subordinates had come over.

After all, all of Charles’s subordinates were Transcendent, and even Dobin had advanced to Second Order Transcendent in this time, with his swordsmanship improving leaps and bounds.

Using Charles’s "leading by example" as an excuse, his subordinates laid down on the ground one after another to watch this rare Transcendent battle.

Krel Brittany and Ebner Sumei couldn’t lose face by doing the same. Wasn’t that too unsightly? Besides, both were High-Level Transcendents who wouldn’t feel neck pain just from looking up for a short while, so they continued standing.

The battle lasted for several hours.

It wasn’t until the night sky began to darken that after another crossing of the two streams of Fighting Qi light, which resulted in a fierce collision, they parted without continuing to circle. From the ground, the two orbs of Fighting Qi light in the high sky hung like beans in the air, silent for a moment, before the pink one shot toward Strasbourg.

Minutes later, Menilman landed quietly on the ground, draped in the night’s darkness with moonlight appearing intermittently within it.

With her feet firmly on the ground, all traces of the Fighting Qi manifestation had disappeared.

The Empire’s First Rose didn’t say anything, simply greeting Krel Brittany, Ebner Sumei, and Charles Meklen before quietly leading her team on their way.

As Krel Brittany watched Menilman’s team leave, he took Ebner Sumei and Charles with him to rejoin his own team and entered Silver Pigeon Fort. On their way, everyone preferred to remain silent, each preoccupied with their own thoughts.

It was only upon entering Silver Pigeon Fort that Charles learned Baron Fabolais was not there, and he couldn’t stay either—his assets were all lost.

Now, the baron had nothing left but his immovable properties in Strasbourg. He left Silver Pigeon Fort in tears, going back to cry to his queen sister, hoping to exchange for another estate.

However, the baron, whether out of disdain for the trouble or guided by someone wiser, surprisingly left his Knighthood behind at Silver Pigeon Fort.

Without a master at Silver Pigeon Fort, Krel Brittany unceremoniously commandeered Baron Fabolais’s Knighthood and handed it over to Anatasiya.

At first, Charles felt puzzled, but he quickly came to realize the reason behind it.

Anatasiya was a graduate of Hatingen Thunder and Storm University, a legitimate junior to both Krel Brittany and Ebner Sumei.

Graduating from the same university, this social relationship often provided extra help when needed.

Just as Charles had won Menilman’s favor, which led to his promotion.

While both were Second Order Transcendents, Dobin, who hadn’t attended university, could only bitterly remain a forty-seventh rank Third Level Sergeant.

To date, he had not received any documents for promotion.
