Sword Sorcery

Chapter 169 Gathering
"Anasta, long time no see."

Before the words were finished, an ordinary-looking young man came out of the mist and greeted Anastas very enthusiastically, acting like a close friend.

It's a pity that Anastas didn't appreciate it at all, and retorted: "Lance, I'm not familiar with you. We just entered the manor together last time, so we don't need the words 'long time no see'."

At the same time, Anastas secretly used her mental power to 'sound transmission' to Aaron: "This Lance is also an 'informer' of the manor's information. Last time he entered the Magic Mirror Manor with us, it seems that he got A lot of benefits, directly breaking through from the Consolidated Witch to the Phantom Witch."

"In addition, his attribute is not negative thunder, he is best at explosion and action, you have to be careful. This guy is very annoying."

"I see."

Aaron responded privately. When he saw the disgusted expression on Anastas's face, he quickly understood the general idea of ​​the matter—it seemed that Lance had pestered Anastas before, and the latter was interested in This is also unbearable.

At this moment, Lance saw Anasta's performance, and couldn't help but his face darkened: "Anasta, after all, we are also companions who have experienced life and death together. How can we say that?"

At the same time, Lance also found Aaron who was standing beside Anastas, his unkind expression became more complicated, and there was a hint of malice in his tone: "It turns out that you have found a companion~, hey"

Lance let out a hey, and before he could finish speaking, he raised his finger, and a flash of thunder suddenly hit Aaron——

Brush ~!

Aaron raised his brows, and directly lifted the blade of "Darkness Chasing". This ray of lightning hit the sword directly, turning into a wisp of blue and dissipating, but it also made Aaron's hand slightly numb, with a burst of anger Thoughts come to mind——

"This guy, really thinks I'm a consolidating witch who is easy to bully?"

A gleam of danger flashed across Aaron's eyes, and he secretly squeezed the hilt of the "Dark Chasing" sword in his hand, hesitating about a question in his heart—to do it, or not to do it?
It's not that he is concerned about the opponent's strength, just a phantom witch is not enough to make Aaron feel jealous.

Because Aaron has been promoted to a coagulated witch, he doesn't need to rely on witchcraft traps to gain an early advantage like he did against Hilton last time, and use conspiracy and psychological warfare to secure the final victory.

Now, Aaron is confident that he will confront a phantom wizard head-on, but this will undoubtedly expose his strength and "specialness", and others will definitely suspect that Aaron has the "inheritance" of the ancient wizards—because 'Sorcerer of Swords' is obviously different from the fighting style of ordinary wizards!

The inheritance of ancient wizards is definitely an attractive thing comparable to 'Magic Mirror Manor'!

It is difficult to guarantee that the other people will not become 'greedy' towards Aaron, and Aaron can't let them leak the news, otherwise he will never have peace——

"Every man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty"!
"If I reveal my strength, I will not only have to get rid of Lance alone, but also that group of brothers and sisters. They may even take the initiative to attack me."

Thoughts quickly turned in Aaron's mind: "Besides, I can't guarantee Anastas' attitude. Maybe she, driven by her interests, also chose to attack me and besiege me with others."

"Even if Anastas didn't choose to attack me, after I dealt with Lance and the brother and sister, it's not easy to deal with her—after all, she told me a lot of information, logically, I shouldn't be ruthless." Get the killer."

"This means, I have to find a way to make Anastas promise not to reveal the secret. It's very troublesome~!"

In the blink of an eye, Aaron had already figured out his current position, just when he was hesitating——

"Lance, what do you mean?!"

Anasta was the first to stand in front of Aaron, and said coldly to Lance.

Seeing this, Lance smiled and said, "Anasta, I'm just testing the strength of your companions, lest some cats and dogs also sneak in and drag you down."

"You don't need to take care of my companion, you just need to take care of yourself!" Anasta retorted mercilessly.

Her behavior made Lance's face twitch, and he snorted coldly: "Anasta, do you really understand what I mean, or are you pretending to understand?!"

Following this sentence, the atmosphere on both sides became menacing, the air around Lance was stirring with spiritual power, and Anastas also stood in front of Aaron without moving, looking as if" Companionship is deep' in general.

And behind Anastas, Aaron secretly clenched "Chasing Darkness", his eyes became deeper and deeper.
As for Percy and Polly brothers and sisters, the two of them seemed to have nothing to do with them, holding hands like a couple, standing quietly not far away, watching the scene in front of them as an 'spectator' ——

Where is there still a little brother and sister who are arguing with each other?

Ambient atmosphere becomes more and more subtle
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from behind:

"Everyone calm down, young people, don't be so angry, if there is anything, you can discuss it with each other~"

A strange old man with green hair and red nose walked over from the mist. Seeing his appearance, a trace of fear flashed across Lance's face, because the other party was also a phantom witch and his 'old acquaintance'— —

"Red Nose, you came quite late."

Lance snorted coldly, and withdrew the mental power surging in the air. It seemed that he was very afraid of the red-nosed old man, and it was very likely that he had suffered at the hands of the opponent.

Seeing this, Aaron put away "Chasing Darkness" calmly, but couldn't help but voice transmission to Anastasia: "You really 'trapped' me once—it seems that you are allied with me The main reason is to get rid of Lance's entanglement, right?"

Obviously, the real reason why Anasta chose to form an alliance with Aaron was not any joint action at all, but to find a companion to join forces to stop Lance's deliberate entanglement!
Because Lance is a phantom witch, it obviously put a lot of pressure on Anastas, she had to find a partner who could cooperate without being 'too strong'——

The twin brothers and sisters must be ruled out first, because they are too 'close'. If Anastas cooperates with them, there will definitely be no benefits, and it will definitely be a 'small head' profit.

The red-nosed old man is also not good, he is also a phantom witch, and his appearance is still very bad
From this point of view, the best choice is undoubtedly Aaron - he looks very good, and his strength is at the same level as Anastas' in the "consolidated" state. There must be a counterweight.

Seeing that Aaron had seen through the truth, Anastasia said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide your request. Please be my 'companion' for a while."

"In return, after we enter the manor, I will definitely find an opportunity to compensate you, and if the two of us join forces, that Lance will not dare to go too far."

Aaron hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly in agreement, and Anastasia couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Of course, the exchange of spiritual power between the two is a secret situation, but from the perspective of other people, the behavior of Aaron and Anastas is more like "eye-catching".

This scene fell into Lance's eyes, but the other party secretly clenched his hands——

Ga bang~!
