And the one from a thousand years ago was ultimately considered a “failure” and a disgrace by the High Priest.
This time, having finally successfully cultivated a Greater Spirit, she didn’t want to lose it again.
That’s why the High Priest wanted to save Limgir.
But just as the High Priest was about to rush forward, a scorching dragon breath descended from the sky, heading towards her.
Yulin had flown back into the air at some point, and seeing the High Priest about to rush towards Shien, she spewed out a breath of dragon breath without hesitation.
Looking closely, the dracolich was now just a charred skeleton.
That Legendary-level dracolich was no match for Yulin, who had reached Limit Level, and was easily dealt with.
Now, Yulin had freed herself to deal with the High Priest, making the High Priest furious.
“Damn lizard! I’ll turn you into the second dracolich! Your soul will fall into hell!”
The High Priest shouted angrily, raising her crystal ball and casting the necromancy spell [Astarte], making the death aura fluctuate.
“Roar!”
Yulin immediately roared disdainfully, clearly not taking the ghostly High Priest seriously.
At that moment, Yulin also engaged the High Priest.
On the other side, after being struck in the chest, Limgir didn’t retreat, but instead attacked Shien even more frantically.
“Why!? Why you!?”
Limgir roared madly as he swung his claws, attacking Shien relentlessly.
“You’re just a mere adventurer! How am I inferior to you? How am I inferior to you!?”
Limgir’s unwillingness, hatred, anger, and madness were fully displayed, looking like a ferocious demon, terrifying.
Shien no longer used his superb swordsmanship to block Limgir’s claw attacks, but instead moved around, dodging Limgir’s sharp claws.
Although Limgir’s claw attacks were powerful, he couldn’t control this sudden surge in strength.
Therefore, his attacks were chaotic and lacked skill. In Shien’s eyes, with the enhanced perception of [Outer Awareness of Heaven’s Decree], he could easily dodge even with his enhanced senses alone.
As for Limgir’s roars filled with unwillingness and hatred, Shien remained indifferent.
There was no helping it.
“Every loser is like you, always unable to figure out why they failed.”
Shien dodged Limgir’s attacks like a dance, looking at him and speaking without mercy.
“It’s normal to feel unwilling, it’s normal to feel confused, but if unwillingness alone could lead to success, then such success would be too cheap.”
Shien suddenly stopped, and with a swift slash of his Holy Sword, he deflected Limgir’s claws.
“Also, you call me a mere adventurer, then what are you? Do you really think you’re someone special?”
With astonishing speed, Shien reached out, grabbed Limgir’s face, and pulled him closer. Then, as Limgir lost his balance and fell towards him, Shien abruptly raised his knee.
“Bang!”
With a muffled thud, Shien’s knee struck Limgir’s stomach.
“Ugh…!”
Limgir immediately bent over and groaned in pain.
Shien continued to hold his face, lifting him up.
“You were just lucky to be born into a duke’s family, with a good father and good bloodline, so you have better talent, but you’re still no match for a mere adventurer like me. With such good conditions, you still couldn’t win her heart, losing to me, an adventurer. So what gives you the right to be so arrogant, to look down on my identity and background in front of me?”
Saying that, Shien’s knee slammed into Limgir’s face, making him howl in pain as blood flowed from his nose, and he collapsed on the ground.
Shien looked down at the writhing Limgir, clutching his face in pain, and sneered.
“In the end, so-called dukes are just losers who lost to the royal family, couldn’t get the throne, and were driven out of the Royal Capital. A family founded by a loser, if it weren’t for the royal family taking pity on you because you were once siblings, do you think you dukes could still act so arrogantly?”
“Losers should act like losers, accepting their fate with dignity. Struggling in vain is just the most pathetic way to exit.”
“If you haven’t realized it yet, then let me tell you clearly, young master.”
“You’ll never win Lucy’s heart in your lifetime.”
“Understand?”
