Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Theresa looked towards Walter and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the tide had been turned.

"It's not time to relax yet."

Ziyao shook her head, and her words made Theresa's breath catch in her throat.

Admittedly, Bronya's arrival did alleviate some of the pressure on Walter.

However, she is still too inexperienced, and her understanding of the Lawyer's powers is only superficial.

As Ziyao said, although Kevin was initially forced to retreat, he quickly regained the upper hand.

He could easily handle two opponents at once.

One was a weakened former lawyer, and the other was a fledgling new lawyer.

Just as predicted, Bronya was injured before ten rounds had even been played.

"Seele, don't go there!"

Theresa stopped Seele, who wanted to help, and shook her head.

Bronya was seen kneeling on the ground, clutching her bleeding waist, her pretty face pale.

She wanted to help immediately, but because she had activated the zero power of the Judah Oath and had exhausted a lot of energy defeating the gray serpent, she was willing but unable to do so.

Running there now would only be a burden and cause more trouble.

So she turned her gaze to Ziyao—the one who claimed to be the future Bronya.

"Just wait and see what happens."

The girl's words were brief.

In the shadows, Rita bypassed everyone's gaze and slowly approached.

She would come to Theresa's aid if she were in danger.

The air inside the church was extremely cold; even the statue of Mary in the center was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Bronya is injured and unable to fight.

Walter stepped in just in time, but he couldn't hold out for long.

In his moment of crisis, he saw Otto outside the door and asked for help.

They are willing to give up the quantum technology that Otto is interested in in exchange for help.

If this continues, not only will they fail to trap the snake, but their entire group will perish here.

The situation was extremely critical; not only Rita, but everyone in Quantum Overseas held their breath.

"I can't do it, my old friend."

This time, Otto was serious.

He decided to watch the show, because he didn't want to antagonize Kevin in order to obtain the key to the second Divine Key.

Unless... Walter is willing to add more chips.

"ended."

The chilling air condensed into deadly ice pillars, and Kevin easily defeated the two of them together by simply using Parvati's power.

There was no compassion, no kindness, and no malice in his eyes.

He would win if he could kill the troublesome Welt and take the Herrscher core from the girl.

Rather, it was an unbalanced, one-sided battle from the very beginning.

Under everyone's gaze, the icicle pierced Walter, bringing this farce to an end.

At the critical moment, a dazzling silver light blocked the attack, turning the offensive into a flurry of falling feathers.

Ziyao, who had been observing all along, finally made her move.

Otto's gaze sharpened; the unexpected turn of events had piqued his interest.

Faced with Kevin's unyielding and aloof attitude, Ziyao gracefully put away her hand cannon.

“I am not your enemy, Kevin.”

"It already is."

He didn't want to continue the roundabout conversation with Ziyao.

The desire for the gems is now of no use to him, because Welt, who was hiding in the shadows, has come out and learned that Bronya is the new Herrscher of Reason.

"Please step back, you are no match for me."

The young woman spoke calmly and directly, showing no regard for this man whom everyone feared.

Rita is speechless. Is it really okay to be so sarcastic?

"Although it's the last seat, didn't Alicia tell you that it means the warrior's most dangerous enemy?"

The girl spoke softly, like a bard, as she eloquently uttered her words.

The gray snake then stepped forward. "My lord, she is the person I told you about."

"The Fourteenth Hero... Hmph, a complete fabrication. In the face of true pioneers, persisting in lies will only bring shame upon oneself."

Because of her cadre status, Ziyao now knows too many secrets about the World Snake.

Her stance wavered, sometimes towards the World Serpent, sometimes towards Destiny, and then towards Anti-Entropy.

After careful consideration, the gray snake decided that it was necessary to eliminate the threat completely.

Six months ago, he failed to expose the girl's false identity. Now that respect is right beside him, it's a good opportunity to clean house.

"We've been colleagues, Kevin, why not just end this here?"

"If Su leaves the Second Divine Key while remaining here, he would probably agree."

Ziyao was completely unguarded, her eyes were serious, and there was no sign of her lying.

She deliberately only spoke half of what she said, revealing secrets known only to a very small number of high-ranking members of the World Serpent.

She then offered her opinion, hoping for a proper discussion rather than resorting to violence.

But it's clear to anyone with eyes that Kevin won't stop there.

Just as Otto had expected, Kevin remained silent at first, then answered Ziyao's question with his actions.

This approach also has its advantages. If his memory is wrong and the girl is indeed the fourteenth seat, then she should be able to withstand his attack.

Immediately afterwards, the moisture in the air evaporated rapidly, turning into countless bristles that eventually gathered together to form the shape of the Heavenly Fire Greatsword.

There was no dazzling brilliance, nor the awe-inspiring sight of towering flames.

Simple and unadorned, yet deadly.

This attack was more powerful than any of the previous ones.

Kevin had never used such a powerful move against Bronya or Welt, but he used it against this seemingly much weaker girl.

Sensing the power above, Walter's expression grew increasingly grim. He hurriedly signaled to Ziyao with his eyes to leave quickly, as he was preparing to resort to a last resort—sacrificing himself.

The girl remained confidently in place, as if she couldn't hear the advice.

"..."

The gray snake wore a mask, and its red eyes, which stared at people with a creepy feeling, revealed a hidden confidence beneath.

Gripping his ice sword tightly, Kevin coordinated his breathing as the image of delicate flowers being severed flashed through his mind.

Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you try.

All eyes were fixed on his sword, and everyone held their breath.

"------!"

The sword was swung halfway through the air when it stopped.

Everyone's heartbeat slowed down a beat, and then there was silence.

Kevin's body suddenly stiffened, and a rare look of surprise flashed across his deadpan face.

This touching moment was witnessed by everyone.

The girl remained calm, as if she had expected this to happen.

The gray snake was greatly puzzled and wondered why it had stopped at this moment.

Following the gaze, a woman dressed in cool clothing and wearing a thorn crown was standing protectively in front of Ziyao.

Vertical pupils, a gilded ring engraving symbolizing "infinity," and distinctive attire...

All these characteristics clearly indicate the identity of the visitor.

The tenth hero in the Moth of Fire series—Mebius.

Volume 1: Chapter 204 Back to the Beginning

"That damn green-haired girl..."

Tesla immediately recognized him; wasn't this the person who had messed up her equipment?

Cocolia stared intently at the screen, unable to process the rapid turn of events.

She tried to talk to Kevin, but he ignored her completely and simply put Gray Serpent in charge of the matter. Clearly, he didn't take her seriously and was just using her as a tool.

Like her, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, countless questions arose.

What methods did Ziyao use to force the leader of the World Serpent to abandon its attack?

Despite the vast disparity in strength, they are forced to resume equal dialogue.

There is no doubt that the girl's confidence is neither blind nor unfounded.

If that were true, she would have long since died and faded away.

The seemingly hopeless situation took a sharp turn for the worse, but rebounded at the very last moment after hitting rock bottom.

"Phew, that's great..."

Mei clutched her chest tightly with both hands; the emotional experience almost made her heart stop beating.

She couldn't help but feel regret. If she had known this would happen, she should have stopped Ziyao from getting involved in such danger.
