453: Cornering Drake

Cornering Drake

"Yuria?" Damien smiled in surprise, seeing her here though he could guess why she ended up coming here.0

Seeing that it was just a girl, Drake scoffed though he couldn't help but have his eyes transfixed on her breathtaking beauty.

"Lord?!"

Drake quickly came out of his daze and ordered, "You two take care of the bastards behind me while I will take care of this beauty and make her my woman too, hehe…" Drake was unable to perceive the warrior beauty's cultivation, but he believed that she was just using some treasure to hide it and didn't believe that such a young beauty could be stronger than him, who was one of the scions of the Haley Family, a pillar of the strongest empire.

Yuria heard his absurd words and scoffed inwardly as she took out a pair of beautiful folding fans in her hand. They were stark pink in color with beautiful embroidery over them but with deadly sharp metal tips and iron ribs.

With just a look, one could say that these beautiful yet deadly weapons could easily slash through their necks like butter.

"Hehe, pretty lady, you surely have the courage to face me alone. Why don't you become my woman, and I can give you everything you wish for?" Drake really wanted to get close to this girl since the only woman he knew who could be comparable to the beauty standing before him was Reva.

However, Reva was the Xeton Princess and way out of his league despite the intense desire he had to obtain her. So seeing another woman with beauty no less stunning than Reva's, made him feel as if his body was heating up in different places.

But since he had never seen the princess of the Krisen Kingdom, he had no idea that he was standing before the very same princess.

"A filthy pig like you can continue to dream since I already have a man who could be quite jealous. So better watch your mouth unless you want to experience something worse than death," Yuria said with an amused smile.

Drake felt sore inwardly hearing that such a beauty was already snatched, but still, that wasn't enough to stifle his wild desires. Unfortunately, he knew now was now the time to capture a beauty but to escape before he got captured or, worse, killed.

"Some other time then, hmph!" Drake grumbled as he took out his axe to fight the warrior beauty standing before him.

Damien, along with Tristen and his soldiers, were busy trying to break through the defensive shields the two protectors of Drake had put up using their Middle-Level Sky Ethereal Realm energy.

Damien could see that these two were planning to die here just to buy time for Drake. He could already see Drake and Yuria having a clash of weapons though Yuria seemed quite casual while Drake seemed to be going all out.

He wasn't worried about Yuria since he knew how strong Yuria was, and Drake was not even a threat to her in the slightest.

He thought that now he wouldn't have to fight Drake on his own or go all out as well.

He made Tristen command his soldiers to use an attack formation to break through the defensive shields of Drake's protectors.

The two protectors gritted their teeth as they tried to hold out against the combined attack of the twenty soldiers, which were further amplified because of the sophisticated attack formation they were using along with Tristen and Damien's help.

Meanwhile, Drake realized how severely he underestimated this beauty as he continued to fight with her.

He used his axe to execute his flame ethereal arts, but Yuria made all his attacks ineffective by using her fans to direct away from the flames and left thin slash marks on his body that continued to bleed, making Drake feel as if this girl was planning to kill him slowly.

He was shocked how this girl could be stronger than him when the only younger woman he knew who was stronger than him was Reva.

But that was quite understandable considering her status and the imperial family she was coming from. However, the girl before him was not only performing exceptionally beautiful moves, but her skills with her blade-like folding fans were exemplary to the point he was finding it hard to keep up and defend himself.

Yuria was continuously suppressing Drake to the point he felt like running away from this beautiful yet deadly warrior.

"Fuck this!" Drake had enough and felt that he would only lose if he continued to fight against this girl.

He quickly used his movement arts while leaving behind a fiery wall to run past the girl and escape.

However, Yuria smirked as she dashed forward through the flames without even singeing a single strand of her hair and threw both her metal fans towards the running Drake.

The two fans elegantly moved through the air and slashed Drake's legs before returning back to Yuria like a pair of boomerangs.

"Aargh!" Drake grimaced in pain as he stumbled and fell on the floor because of having the tendons of his leg slashed through.

"Lord!" The two protectors got alarmed hearing their master's cry, but their momentary distraction was taken advantage of by Tristen and his soldiers as they broke through and killed the two protectors as well.

"All of you should regroup with my brother, Kale, and take over this palace. I will take care of their leader on my own," Tristen said suddenly, much to the surprise of the twenty soldiers.

However, seeing that the leader was already defeated by the Krisen Princess, much to their astonishment, they bowed and followed Tristen's orders.

Now in this hall, only Damien, Tristen, Yuria, and Drake, who was groaning in pain, remained.

"Nicely done, Yuria," Damien commented as he went near Drake and clutched his neck before throwing him inside one of the libraries in the hall.

Tristen stood outside the library while Yuria and Damien entered to deal with Drake without letting anybody else know.
