Chapter 185 Chris's Will
"You've impressed me a little, but you still can't change the outcome." Count Lei An seemed to be stating something that was a matter of course, and his tone was a little softened. He no longer thought that the boy in front of him was just an ant that he could trample on at will.

That’s right, although Chris is still alive and even stood up unsteadily, he no longer has the strength to fight and can’t even lift his sword.

"Sister Nilu, please leave quickly. I will defeat this guy."

His arms and legs seemed as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Chris had no idea where the strength came from to support him as he moved step by step towards Count Ryan.

Seeing this, Count Ryan shook his head slightly, and the cannons on both sides aimed at Chris's body with his magic power.

"He will definitely die." This was Count Ryan's judgment. Chris's broken body could not withstand this shot at all.

"Magic Shield!"

When two beams of magic light shot out from Count Ryan's cannon, a figure had already arrived in front of Chris and opened a magic shield.

"Sister Nilu!"

Chris became a little more sober. He saw Nilu half-kneeling in front of him, struggling to resist Count Leian's magical attack.

The corners of Nilu's mouth were bleeding. Not only that, her soft and smooth arms began to crack under the pressure of Count Leian's magic. Blood continued to seep out from the cracks, staining her arms red.

Even so, Nilu had no intention of giving up. She had to block Lei An's attack, otherwise both of them would be doomed.

How could a low-level magic shield withstand the bombardment of high-level magic? If it weren't for the fact that Nilu's body was different from that of an ordinary person and she had tried her best to improve the defensive performance of the magic shield to a level close to that of intermediate magic, they would have been wiped out by Count Leian long ago.

However, even if Nilu used all her magic power, she could only do this much. The magic shield was covered with cracks and was on the verge of breaking.

"Chris, leave me alone, just run away!"

Nilu coughed lightly, and more blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her figure looked so thin, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. It was obvious that Nilu's body was about to reach its limit.

It was the same people, the same words, and the same situation.

Chris seemed to be back in that moment in the Slodar Forest.

Escape? What a joke, I have already escaped once, how can I escape a second time.

Chris raised his sword tremblingly and rushed out from behind Nilu.

"Heavy Breaking Slash!"

Chris actually swung his sword at Count Ryan's magic.

"Stupid guy." Earl Lei An snorted coldly. If it was Angele here, he might be able to do this. However, this young man who had only practiced with Angele for a few days would only cause a backlash of magic power if he forcefully attacked with magic, which would only bring him trouble.

The blade cut into the magic beam, and the sword instantly became as hot as a branding iron. White smoke was faintly coming out of Chris's hands that were holding the sword.

Fortunately, this sword was a weapon given to him by Angele, and it was made of high-grade metal 'black steel', so it did not break under such a powerful magic impact.

"Limit Upgrade!!!" After discovering that his sword could not move forward any further, Chris unconsciously activated the fighting skill 'Limit Upgrade'. Even Chris himself did not know how it was activated. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

We must save Sister Nilu!
If this magic is not interrupted, Nilu will become the first victim.

After his body's limit was raised, his strength more than doubled, and even his fighting spirit was enhanced a lot. Chris howled angrily, squeezing out the last bit of fighting spirit in his body and injecting it into the sword.

"Heavy Breaking Slash!"

To be precise, it was a two-hit combo. Although it was still a long way from Angele's twelve-hit combo of "Heavy Breaking Continuous Slash", even Angele would not have thought that Chris could achieve this level in such a short time.

The power of the second slash, coupled with Chris's belief, finally created a miracle of some magnitude.

The magic beam disappeared, and Chris fell to the ground, his face pale and his arms drooping slightly, and he just collapsed to the ground.

"Chris, how are you?" Nilu hugged Chris in her arms and cried, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why didn't you listen to me?"

Seeing that Chris was so weak that he could only breathe out but not in, Nilu's tears flowed like a floodgate.

"Sister Nilu, I'm fine, don't cry..." Chris's voice was very low, and he slowly raised his hand to wipe away Nilu's tears.

Unfortunately, he was really too tired. The two heavy blows just now had consumed his last bit of strength. Now it was very difficult for him to even move his fingers.

"I almost know why Angele accepted you as his apprentice. I take back what I said before, young man, you are excellent."

Chris's series of performances just now were so brilliant that Lei An was amazed. The resilience shown by Chris was absolutely excellent. If there were more people like him in the aristocratic faction, there would be no need to worry about Angele.

Unfortunately, this young man is too close to Angele, and the aristocratic faction will not allow such a person to join. In addition, in order to prevent him from becoming an obstacle to the aristocratic faction in the future, no matter how much Earl Lei An appreciates him, it cannot be a reason to let him go.

When he saw Count Lei An, Chris's eyes changed instantly. He stared at Lei An as if he wanted to eat him. He wanted to get up and continue fighting, but he was so sore and weak all over that he couldn't move. He didn't even have the strength to speak.

"That's a nice look. It's indeed the look that a person should have."

"If I had met you earlier, I would have done everything I could to get you to join our side. What a pity..."

Count Lei An sighed softly, if this young man didn't die today, he might become a figure like Angele in the future and become one of the deterrent forces of the empire, but today he was destined to die at his hands.

The same goes for the junior from the magic academy. The magical talent she just displayed surprised even Count Lei An. Lei An himself had never achieved the feat of using a magic shield to resist advanced magic. If this girl could survive, she would surely go further than him on the road of magical exploration.

Count Ryan decided to give them an honorable death. It was not worth it for such two geniuses to die in such an unclear way.

Magic power began to accumulate in the six cannon barrels behind him, and powerful magic fluctuations emanated from the mouth of each barrel. It was obvious that this time, Count Lei An intended to fully display the power of advanced magic to eliminate Chris and Nilu.

"Black God Bombardment!"

Due to the adjustment of the barrel's orbit, the six magic beams converged into the strongest magic beam in front of Count Leian and flew towards Nilu and Chris.
