Lust Knight

Chapter 192 Brutal King, Merciless Queen 1/3

If anyone still doubted that the woman on top of the big tiger was Cassidy, they had their confirmation when Lucien spoke loud enough even for the ordinary people on the wall to hear.

But who was he? Who is the man on the tiger with the Queen?

"Who are you?" Ivan asked in an angry tone. Nothing was going his way.

Lucien, hugging Cassidy's waist on top of Oya in her expanded size, then smiled at Olivia as he responded Ivan. "Olivia just told you about me. I am her husband and your worst nightmare."

"YOU!!" Ivan yelled as he prepared to attack Lucien.

But Karl, his comrade, held him by the shoulder. "Wait, Ivan! We are far from the wizards. If we attack them like this, we might fall into a trap."

Ivan understood that it was not wise to attack Lucien without knowing what he was capable of. Lucien's group was about a hundred meters from them to the southwest while the mercenaries were two hundred meters to the northwest, and the adventurers were to the east in the direction of the city.

As soon as Black Hand fell to the ground after being kicked by Scarlett, he ran towards the mercenaries, and approximately a thousand of them, the most loyal to him, went towards him while the other mercenaries waited for Scarlett's orders.

The adventurers were tense as they waited for Ivan's orders. He was very upset about Olivia's betrayal, the strange man declaring himself to be her husband, and the fact that he showed up with Cassidy.

While everyone was thinking about what would happen next, Cassidy spoke in a high and majestic tone worthy of a Queen. "So, we meet again, except for a few rotten apples that were expendable to you."

Scarlett was silent as Black Hand tried to escape with his men. Olivia was also quiet, but Ivan didn't seem worried.

He stopped glancing at Lucien and looked at Cassidy. "You shouldn't be alive. You should have run away to start a new life, but instead of using the fact that I didn't know to you're advantage, you decided to face me?"

Then he looked at Lucien's troops as he spoke loudly in mockery. "Is that all the forces you have to face me? Oh, do you have the help of Red Lady and the mercenaries?"

Scarlett knew that it would not be challenging to make the mercenaries fight alongside Lucien and Cassidy against Ivan under her orders. But then all of the adventurers would fight alongside Ivan, because they would think this was the mercenaries plan from the beginning.

That could also cause Lucien to lose control of the battle, causing many deaths than necessary. If that happened Portgreen could become very damaged, and would mark Cassidy's return as a tragic day.

So she followed Lucien's plan. Scarlett spoke loudly for all the mercenaries to hear. "Anyone who doesn't want to die, step back now, and don't interfere with this battle!"

Everyone was confused and didn't really want to get involved in this mess. So, except for the group that was running away with Black Hand, all of the other mercenaries started to move back from the center of what would soon be a battlefield.

As the adventurers were in front of the city gate and the group of mercenaries loyal to Scarlett moved north, Black Hand's group tried to enter the forest to the northwest.

Ivan was too focused on Cassidy and Lucien to worry about Black Hand, but Lucien wouldn't let him get away.

He didn't even have to say anything for Rose and Angela to act. The ground trembled, and a big stone wall raised in front of Black Hand's group.

They quickly tried avoiding the stone wall, but then an ice wall began to form, surrounding them on all sides.

The Black Hand's group started trying to break the magic walls, but Angela and Rose had a lot of mana to keep the walls firm.

Also, Marie and Lena have achieved the Mortal Realm, and now they have large amounts of mana, as well as greater control over the ice, so they could help to maintain the walls.

Everyone was impressed with the girls' demonstration of power. Leo was still trapped in the stone hand with his lower body frozen, causing Ivan to start getting a little worried.

Olivia wasted no time and tried something similar to what Scarlett did. She looked at the adventurers and spoke loudly. "You don't have to be part of this. Anyone who doesn't want to die with Ivan, please step back."

But just as most mercenaries were more loyal to Scarlett and followed her command, almost all of the adventurers there were loyal to Ivan while those loyal to Olivia stayed in the Guild with L secret group.

Still, out of ten thousand adventurers on the battlefield, approximately two thousand retreated because they believed that Cassidy was wrongly attacked and now deserved to recover her crown.

The other eight thousand are ready to fight alongside Ivan. The fact that Leo was already attacked made them furious and concerned about the powerful enemies.

Cassidy had not yet responded to Ivan's provocation. She was just enjoying the warmth of Lucien's arms as she watched everyone get in their positions for the battle.

Lucien's troops were fifty meters behind him in organized lines while his wives were in front of them. They are all wearing shiny black armor, with excited looks on their faces.

Even though they are a very small group compared to the enormous amount of ​​adventurers in front of them, they feared nothing while following Lucien, but were eager to show their value while fighting alongside him.

Cassidy closed her eyes as she spoke. "There is nothing to talk about. Those who are going to fight have already taken their positions."

"Hump!" Ivan couldn't believe Cassidy's calm attitude. He was also very confident of winning, but he did not want to lose many adventurers if Red Lady suddenly decided to participate in the battle.

He would not underestimate those two powerful mages and assumed Cassidy would have other surprises. But if he acted quickly, he could reduce casualties, especially if he killed those mages.

"Think about it, Cassidy. Do you really want to kill your new friends like that? We could..." Ivan started to speak in a slow and calm tone.

*Thump* *Thump* *Thump*

But Lucien, who was focused on him while caressing Cassidy, could hear his fast heartbeats and knew that Ivan was preparing his move.

Mercenaries, adventurers, and other people, except for Lucien's group, everyone was very tense, and a word or even movement could start the battle.

Ivan looked like he was going to say something, but then his hand started to burn. He quickly waved his arm in the direction of Rose's stone hand, which kept Leo trapped and threw a magma ball at it.

The magma ball hit what should be the wrist of the big stone hand, breaking it and freeing Leo, who fell to the ground.

"MAGES!!!" Ivan yelled quickly, then the adventurers who were already ready, began to cast spells at Lucien's troops.

Of the eight thousand adventurers, two thousand who are not exactly mages or wizards, but still have enough magical abilities and skills that they could use with high range.

These adventurers created an incredible scene where thousands of magical projectiles, such as fireballs, lightning bolts, ice spears, and many other types, were thrown at Lucien's group.

Ivan stopped paying attention to Lucien and ran towards Rose and Angela, who were close to Scarlett.

Faced with that incredible magical area attack, Lucien remained calm on top of Oya, watching everything in slow motion with his incredible senses.

"Let's do it." He whispered softly in Cassidy's ear as he stroked Oya's ear.

It all happened very quickly, leaving almost everyone very confused. In the air, in front of the magic projectiles, several ice barriers began to form.

Marie and Lena were not experts in defensive spells, but the adventurers' spells began to hit their ice walls. Despite the ice breaking from the considerable amount of magical attacks, Marie and Lena continued to create more and more ice walls, completely blocking the wave of attacks.

It seemed unbelievable that two wizards could block a combined magical attack of two thousand people. That was the difference between people of the Zero Realm and people of the Mortal Realm.

Of course, there was also the crucial fact that Marie and Lena were filled with Lucien's demonic energy, which greatly boosted the power of their magic and the amount of mana they currently have.

The girls were making a significant effort to block so many attacks, but they never felt so powerful before. The feeling of power was addictive.

*ROAR*

At that moment, when the adventurers spells hit the girl's ice walls, Oya released a powerful roar as she jumped towards Ivan.

Cassidy took a fantastic black greatsword from her storage ring. Rebecca made the sword with black steel and some of the best materials she had, it was specifically made for Cassidy.

Although her body felt reluctant to leave Lucien's arms, Cassidy jumped off of Oya towards Ivan, while Oya was still in the air.

Ivan didn't expect to win the battle with just the magical attack, but he was sure that it would allow him to attack Rose and Angela.

When he saw Cassidy falling from the sky towards him, he had just enough time to jump to the side.

*BOOM*

Cassidy landed a powerful sword strike on the ground, creating a crater and an incredible wave of force that threw Ivan several meters back.

Oya landed on top of Leo, who was still recovering after escaping Rose's stone hand. Mentally connected with Lucien, she followed his desire and began to tear apart the poor man's back with her big and sharp claws.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Leo desperately cried

Ivan was taken by surprise by Cassidy's attack, but he managed to dodge her sword because he is also in the Mortal Realm. He quickly got up after falling and heard Leo's cry.

He quickly noticed Oya tearing apart Leo's back. It was quite clear that Lucien intended to torture his comrade, or rather, his friend.

"LEO!!!" Ivan yelled as he ran towards them.

*BAM*

It only took a moment when Ivan stopped looking at Cassidy for her to get close to him and hit him with a powerful kick on his belly, again throwing him several meters back.

Ivan's other comrades who were close to him, had followed him quickly, just at a slower speed. They were close to reaching Ivan and Cassidy when stone and ice hands started to emerge from the ground to trap them.

Having already seen how Leo was taken by surprise by the wizards, Karl and his group did not make the same mistake as him and started to break Rose and Angela's magic hands. But that prevented them from moving forward and helping Ivan.

Ivan, this time did not dodge Cassidy's blow and took all Its damage, which caused him spit blood as he rolled on the ground.

Cassidy did not attack him immediately but gave him time to get up.

But he again did not look at her but at Leo, being brutalized by Oya. He didn't expect to lose one of his best friends like this, especially now that they are so powerful.

Lucien knew that Ivan was looking at them, so he gave Oya the order to finish Leo.

Oya knew about Lucien's hostility towards that man who tried to attack Scarlett and the other man who harmed Cassidy.

So, she pressed Leo's back with her paws, breaking his spine as she sank him into the ground and made his body arch slightly.

"AAAAHH-" Leo's screams ended when Oya took his head off with a brutal bite.

"NOOOO!!!" Ivan screamed in a fury.

By this time, Lucien's troops were arriving at his side while the vanguard of the adventurers were arriving at Ivan's side.

Oya passed Leo's severed head to Lucien, and he threw it towards Ivan.

Cassidy couldn't help but smile at Lucien, happy that the devil is her partner as she takes revenge on her enemies.
