Chapter 90 Sir Carenno: We will win!

"Is that Tiga from the Frostclaw tribe speaking?"

Louis turned his head and glanced over, and found that the defensive zone a hundred meters away was indeed being handled by a group of orcs.

Judging from Tiga's words, Karenno of the Warriors' Association was also there, asking those who had experienced the Demon Tide for information about the powerful individuals involved.

"A woman? She must be a female demon."

Louis glanced again at the black figure charging at the forefront below the city.

To be able to cause such a massive defeat for the Frostclaw tribe single-handedly, one must be at the level of a Level 3 Five-Star professional, or even higher. This is not someone Louis can afford to provoke at his current level.

Of course, if the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. Black Rock City is full of powerful people, so it's not his turn to hold it up.

"Speaking of which, isn't that figure rushing in at a bit too fast?"

Nora pointed to the female figure in front of the demonic tide and asked in confusion.

Originally, the two sides were still twenty miles apart, but in the short time it took for them to climb the city wall and observe, the figure had already covered half the distance and was about to attack.

The middle-aged officer did not answer, but judging from his ashen face, he had clearly noticed it as well.

In just a few breaths, they covered ten miles, which is faster than flying.

However, what happened next was even more shocking.

After charging forward, the black figure suddenly stomped heavily on its feet, and its body flew up like a swooping eagle. Its body crashed through the air with a terrifying explosion.

The figure's leap was even faster than the sound reached everyone's ears.

Before Louis heard the piercing explosion, the figure had already appeared above the city wall, and he was finally able to see her clearly.

It was a woman who was about 1.65 meters tall. She hovered above the city wall, wearing a black iron mask, a heavy black and red plate armor, and holding a black longsword in her hand.

She had no foreign features whatsoever; she was a completely normal human woman.

But at this moment, her demonic aura was chilling, and her profound and abyss-like presence locked onto Sir Calenno, the strongest warrior currently on the city wall, before she brought her sword down heavily.

boom--

The black-armored woman's figure transformed into a streak of light, leaving a scarlet trail, and she slammed fiercely into the city wall a hundred meters away from Louis.

A deafening roar resounded, followed by a powerful shockwave that blew away all the surrounding soldiers and even level 1 professionals.

Louis immediately raised his silver shield, protecting his three team members and the middle-aged officer who was leading the way behind him.

A large amount of magic power was poured into the mercury shield, and the shield immediately lit up with a faint white light, blocking the aftershocks of the black-armored woman's attack.

Level 1 Shield Guardian Skill, Guardian Shield, activated!

bang bang bang—

The bodies of the guards, blown away by the wind, slammed into the shield, only to be bounced aside by the shield's radiance.

When the shockwave subsided, Louis peeked out and saw that there were no soldiers left within a 200-meter radius on either side of the city wall, centered on the woman in black armor.

A significant number of the soldiers were thrown out, either landing outside the city or inside.

Judging from the height of the city wall, which is over 20 meters high, the soldiers who fell from it are probably in grave danger.

Even a master like Tiga was thrown back by the aftershocks of the attack. The only one who could stand up to the woman in black armor was Sir Karenno, who stood at the pinnacle of the third-level professional.

He was holding a heavy sword taller than a person, struggling to block the black-armored woman's downward slash.

Beneath Sir Callenor's feet were large cracks, and the city wall seemed to have sunk a significant portion from his feet.

Keep in mind that this city wall, which is over 20 meters high, is made of solid material!

"Damn it, didn't that priest say this demonic tide wouldn't be too strong? How did such a formidable character appear?"

"Is Blackrock City about to be captured in one fell swoop?!"

Louis broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled his teammates and retreated continuously, trying to increase the distance between them and the woman in black armor as much as possible.

The middle-aged officer was clearly flustered, but upon hearing Louis's mutterings, he retorted without hesitation, "Impossible! Lord Kalenno is one of the strongest Level 3 professionals!"

"As long as it's not a level four professional who comes in person, he can even hold his own against a level three hero. A mere female demon is definitely no match for Lord Kalenno!"

Is that so? It sounds like there's some truth to it.

Louis thought this to himself, but his inner desires still drove him to keep retreating.

However, while retreating with his shield raised, Louis couldn't help but pay attention to the battle between Caleno and the woman in black armor. If the former could win, then everyone would be happy.

Louis casually picked up a helmet that had fallen from the head of some unlucky guard, put it on his head, and peered out.

But after just one glance, he felt that the middle-aged officer was lying to him.

After landing, the woman in black armor didn't even need to use her black sword; instead, she punched the heavy sword in Karenno's hand.

With a crimson fist strike, Sir Callenno's heavy sword snapped in two with a crack.

The latter's face was filled with horror. Just as he was about to retreat, the woman in black armor raised her hand and grabbed at the air, as if she had seized the space next to Sir Callenno, rendering him unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, the woman in black armor faced Karenno directly with her breastplate, and a scarlet light continuously surged from inside the breastplate, growing increasingly intense and vigorous.

In less than three seconds, the woman in black armor's chest shone like a scarlet sun.

It's like a giant bomb about to explode.

Upon witnessing this scene, Louis's mental danger radar went into overdrive.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed his companions and the middle-aged officer, and leaped off the city wall.

boom-

Behind Louis, a burst of red light erupted and spread wildly in all directions, obliterating everything in its path.

The terrifying shockwave violently hurled Louis and the others, who were in mid-air, far away.

Louis concealed his body within the silver shield and slammed it heavily onto the ground, shattering the bricks and tiles beneath it.

He shook his head, quickly stood up and looked around. He saw that Dana and Nora had also gotten up quickly and seemed to be alright.

Even Merry, who was the weakest, managed to protect herself unharmed by using a defensive rune at the last moment.

The middle-aged officer was thrown so hard that his leg was twisted, and it seemed to be broken.

However, there is no danger to life, and it's not a big problem.

Louis breathed a sigh of relief before turning his gaze to the city wall, to the area shrouded in red light.

There, the thick city wall stretching for hundreds of meters had vanished, and both Sir Calenno and the woman in black armor had disappeared without a trace.

As Louis was trying to find their whereabouts, suddenly, a round object fell from the sky and landed not far from him.

Louis glanced at it subconsciously, and his gaze immediately froze.

Because it was a human head, and Louis recognized the face on it—it was Sir Cullennor.

The area below its neck had vanished.
