Another Silver-Haired Woman
In front of him, a silver shadow swiftly darted from the steps of the hall!
This shadow moved so fast that even Andrew couldn't make out its figure. He shouted sternly, "Step back!"
Andrew channeled his internal power, and a faint glow immediately emanated from his sword. Gripping his sword with both hands, he slashed downwards, creating a barrier of light on the steps!
However, the silver shadow didn't show any signs of stopping and charged directly at the sword barrier created by Andrew's internal power!
Instantly, Andrew felt a chilling cold spread through his sword! This cold made him shiver, his fingers freezing and stiff, almost unable to grip the hilt of his sword! Then, a powerful force struck the sword, and Andrew couldn't hold it back. With a groan, he felt as if his entire body was electrified, paralyzing him completely!
Clang!
The sword fell to the ground, and Andrew passed out. His clothes and hair seemed charred, his lips tightly pressed together, as he collapsed on the ground, evidently severely injured!
The intruder, in just a single move, had instantly defeated a fourth-level knight. Amid the exclamations of the Russell family's guards, the silver shadow finally stopped and stood in the center of the hall!
This person was clearly a woman, and undoubtedly the one who had been speaking outside earlier.
The woman who called Lilith "sister" was tall and extraordinarily beautiful. Her face could rival any man's dream lover, though her lips were slightly pale, lacking a bit of blood color. Her eyes, bright as they were, carried an excessively cold gaze.
Her face seemed carved from ice, with a trace of murderous intent, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of mockery and disdain.
She wore a peculiar white light armor, adorned with intricate patterns that seemed almost impractical, making the already thin armor even less protective. Yet, Freyr and Ryan noticed that these patterns were magic runes, possibly imbued with magical effects.
A long white cloak trailed behind her, reaching the ground!
With white light armor and a white cloak, this woman with a delicate and beautiful face looked as if she had stepped out of ice and snow.
However, this wasn't what shocked Freyr the most!
At this moment, our young noble, usually composed and calm, was wide-eyed, staring intently at the woman before him!
This woman had long silver hair, as white as snow!
Her silver hair, her eyes, her lips, her small and straight nose...
Freyr was thunderstruck!
Because the appearance of this woman was someone Freyr recognized!!
Just days ago, in the secret chamber of the Russell family's castle! The one who left him the secrets of astrology, the magical array... The great astrologer, Wizard, creator of stellar magic... Natalie!!
If Freyr didn't know that Natalie had been dead for hundreds of years, he would have thought that the great female astrologer was standing alive before him!
From her appearance, this strange woman looked over ninety percent like the illusion of Natalie that Freyr had seen!!
Freyr was dumbfounded, which might have made others think he was simply scared silly. People gathered around him, with several Russell family guards pointing their swords at the woman, shouting, "Rebel! How dare you attack the Empire's local garrison!"
"Hahahahaha..." The woman laughed coldly, her eyes seeming to hold the frost of the northern lands: "I've already done it, and all you can do is shout?"
With a slight lift of her finger, an ice arrow shot out from her fingertip, and before anyone could react, the loud-voiced Russell guard was hit, frozen solid, and fell stiffly to the ground.
This sudden attack left no warning! Freyr snapped back to reality and instinctively glanced at Ryan beside him. Both saw the shock in each other's eyes!
Instant cast spell?!
"Russell guards! Protect the master!! Fight to the death!" A guard shouted, charging forward with his sword. Immediately, a dozen Russell family guards followed, shouting and charging at the woman, their long swords stabbing from all directions!
The woman laughed loudly, seemingly spinning lightly in place, and a white light ring burst from her body! The light ring flashed and disappeared, but everyone who touched it was instantly thrown back!
In an instant, a dozen people were sent flying, crashing into walls, tables, and even out of the hall...
People lay scattered on the ground, and it was unclear what magic the woman had used, but they were all unconscious. Only Freyr and Ryan were left standing in the hall.
"Oh, what a surprise! There's actually a Wizard here." The woman's eyes brightened when she saw Ryan's robe. She sneered, "Wizard! Where is your badge? As a Wizard, why aren't you wearing the Magic Association's badge?! What level of Wizard are you?"
