Rip—
The sound of air being torn resounded.
Anna's afterimage blurred into one, flashing across the soldier's body.
Pffft!
Blood splattered, a geyser of blood erupted.
The soldier's body was instantly split in two.
"Hoo!"
Looking at the corpse behind her, Anna tightened her grip on the blade, her breathing becoming heavy.
"Adjust your mindset, you're just killing some beasts."
For a Dependent killing for the first time, such comfort was necessary.
"Understood, Master."
Anna nodded, steadying her emotions.
"By the way, your method of using the blade is problematic, it needs adjustment."
Alex conjured an ice blade and demonstrated it on the spot.
"Also, when you strike, the trajectory and power are off. You need to do it like this..."
"Mhm, mhm."
Anna nodded repeatedly, beginning to replicate it through her Eye of Insight.
So, this was the way to fight.
Deep within her heart, a flame named 'getting stronger' was ignited.
Alex continued forward while explaining.
Facing the soldiers who surrounded them, Anna stepped forward again, but her fighting style was no longer that of a novice.
Wherever she passed, the long blade in her hand continuously swung, drawing out streaks of chilling light in the night, bringing with it countless severed limbs.
"Miss Anna has excellent combat talent."
Watching all this, Lie was also somewhat surprised.
Such a speed of improvement was astonishing.
Alex didn't answer, merely expanding his senses.
The Geolal Kingdom's army wasn't foolish; after they slaughtered so many soldiers, the other side had already reacted.
The forces scattered throughout the town were beginning to gather.
By the time they reached their destination, the army was already on high alert.
The leader was a dark-skinned, bald man holding a large cannon.
The Hero of Cannon—Brett.
At this moment, his face was grim, and his mood was extremely foul.
Originally, discovering the perfect young man from his dreams was a wonderful thing.
The other party's status as a Brave was an added bonus.
But his old problem had resurfaced.
He had actually played the other party to death.
Who knew that at this time, someone would still dare to cause him trouble? It was simply courting death.
"Brett..."
Looking at that figure, a deep killing intent flashed in Anna's eyes.
She was about to charge straight over but was stopped by Alex.
"This isn't an opponent you can handle right now."
"Leave everything to me."
Hearing her master's words, Anna stopped, nodding obediently.
On the other side, Brett also noticed the three of them.
"Just three people, and you dare to... Hmm?"
He stopped mid-sentence, stunned.
Princess Freya?
Brett's face lit up with joy, and he stepped forward directly: "Your Highness Freya, it's wonderful that you're safe and sound. I was just acting on the King's orders to..."
Then, his expression changed, and his Brave artifact, [Taslam], raised its cannon muzzle in front of him.
Buzz!
Astonishing magic power gathered, transforming into a visible magic bullet.
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, visible ripples spread in all directions, and the distant Geolal Kingdom soldiers and horses were thrown into disarray, countless people spitting up blood.
Brett's hasty attack caused him to be forcefully pushed back, his feet leaving a deep gully on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Smoke billowed, and a hurricane roared.
Brett's expression was grim as he stared at Freya.
"Your Highness Freya, what is the meaning of this?"
He had never expected her to attack him.
"Or are you preparing to betray the Geolal Kingdom?"
Freya didn't reply, merely looking at Alex as if seeking praise.
"Mhm, well done."
Alex gave her a head pat, very satisfied with this.
It seemed the education during this period had been very effective.
"..."
Brett was somewhat bewildered.
What was going on?
Was this still the Princess he remembered, outwardly noble and kind, but inwardly a vicious sadist?
She was practically an obedient pet.
"It seems Your Highness the Princess has been controlled by some magic, hasn't she?"
A moment later, Brett looked at Alex with sharp eyes, as if trying to see through him.
"This is all her own free will, you know."
Alex said with a half-smile, "I didn't force her, did I, Freya?"
"That's right, my Master."
