The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 65

“Then I’ll give it to you. The wind wall looks impassable, so you’d better come and get it…”

Lynn’s plan was simple: wait for Furong Yuan to summon the patrolling knights or guards when she held the Demon-Slaying Stone, so that Furong Yuan would be the one unable to defend herself.

“No need.”

Fu Rongyuan smiled and unleashed a barrage of wind blades, instantly destroying the Demon-Slaying Stone in Lynn’s hand.

Then, the magic circle and the wind wall disappeared, and Lynn and Felin regained their freedom.

Fu Rongyuan didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Because Fu Rongyuan knew in her heart that these two women would still resort to violence.

However, since the main body has already made arrangements, he no longer needs to investigate.

All we need to do is track the location of the wind elemental residue on them…

“This guy… is incredibly strong.”

Philine followed Lynn and ran a long way, almost going in a big circle from the east where Alyssa was to the west, changing lanes frequently along the way, afraid that Furong Yuan would catch up.

Lynn nodded as well:

“The Kalech family has produced such a powerful scholar. Why haven’t we heard of him before?”

Felin shook his head:

“I don’t know. Anyway, Lynn, do we have no choice but to do it ourselves now?”

“There’s no other way. I’ll pretend to be a guard and knock on the door. Once it opens, Philin, you use magic to enter the room and then destroy the transmutation magic circle.”

Just then, a familiar voice rang out behind them:

“I see, I see. So you two really want to make a move against Ariel.”

The two turned around and saw Mila.

She changed out of the academy’s witch robes and into casual clothes that allowed her to move around easily; her messy wig was conspicuous no matter where she was.

Mila’s voice was soft, but powerful:

“Ariel said you came back to stop her. At first I didn’t believe it; I believed you two were good people, but I never expected it to actually be like this…”

Film shook his head repeatedly:

“No, Mira, what we’re discussing has nothing to do with Ariel.”

Lynn instantly understood what Felin meant. Indeed, they hadn’t mentioned Ariel earlier, which could be a perfect point of attack to refute Mira:

“Yes, Mira, as fellow witches, how could we possibly stop Ariel? By the way, what does Ariel want to do?”

Mila scoffed inwardly.

She had seen the whole picture when they confronted Furong Yuan.

Pretending to be stupid now, does she still think I’m the Mila I used to be?

Mira gripped the “Iron Bone” staff tightly; the copper band at the end of the staff gently touched the ground, making a sound.

“I don’t want to fight, please leave.”

Lynn just smiled, finding it unbelievable.

The reason I didn’t fight Furong Yuan earlier was because Furong Yuan was very strong.

A magical clash would surely attract knights or soldiers.

But Mira, who was last in her grade, now has the courage to challenge the first and second place students at the same time? Who gave her that courage?

If we can resolve this quickly, it won’t cause any trouble.

Lynn then summoned her staff and immediately began chanting, the tip of which glowed with an icy blue light.

This is the fourth-tier magic “Ice Frog Chain Cone” that Lynn just learned, and she plans to defeat Mira in one move!

Mila moved the instant the ice spike came hurtling towards her.

Instead of using magic to counter, she swung the “Iron Bone” staff with both hands and spun it rapidly around the staff’s axis!

“Clang clang clang clang—!”

The crisp clanging of metal against metal echoed continuously. The ice spikes struck the iron-core wooden staff, either shattering or bouncing away. Mira was jolted back two steps by the impact, her hands slightly numb.

This “Iron Bone” staff is much harder than a regular staff.

Film couldn’t understand it either:

“Why is her staff so hard, while mine was cracked by that scholar’s attack with similar power?”

“Don’t blink, okay?”

Mila strained her legs, and through her exposed skin, you could see the veins bulging and her muscles trembling as she exerted force.

In just a few steps, Mira was in front of Lynn, raised “Iron Bone” and smashed it down. Air rushed through the gap between the copper band at the end of “Iron Bone” and the staff, making a dull sound.

“Melee?”

These two words appeared in both Lynn’s and Phil’s minds at the same time.

Mira truly caught Lynn off guard. Lynn hadn’t expected Mira to close the distance so quickly; her legs, in the instant of explosive speed, were practically indistinguishable from those of the female warriors from the Warrior Academy.

Felin had no choice; her staff was destroyed, so she could only use magical items to help Lynn.

So, Felin took a magic scroll from her shoulder bag and activated the magic contained within it—

The third-tier magic “Iron Spike Defense”.

Philine held the scroll, letting it continuously absorb the magic power within her body.

Then, the scroll emitted light, and a magical shield, resembling a hedgehog covered in countless iron spikes, isolated Mira from Lynn.

Felin was an earth-attribute witch, and she knew that even warriors from the same Warrior Academy had to temporarily keep their distance from this third-stage magical defense and seek to break through it with other melee combat techniques.

Mira bit her lip tightly, and just as Felin had predicted, she took a few steps back, clutching her chest with her hand, and muttered to herself:

“That scared me to death!”

The iron spikes almost pierced Mira’s eyes; if she hadn’t retreated quickly, she would have been caught off guard by Phil.

That’s why Felin chose to use “Iron Spikes Defense” when getting close; using Iron Spikes can really catch some melee fighters off guard.

Just then, Lynn’s lips curled up, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped, and small ice crystals condensed in the smoke rising from the nearby chimneys.

Lynn had finished chanting “Ice Frog Chain Cone”. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and more than a dozen ice cones, carrying bone-chilling cold, twisted in the air like living things, blocking Mira’s retreat from different angles, all shooting towards her.

This is a charged version of “Ice Frog Chain Cone,” which will only be more powerful.

Mira had no better options and could only once again hold “Iron Bones” in front of her to block the attack.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Although she could withstand it, the ice spikes continued relentlessly, and each attack made Mira’s body shudder, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

This is fourth-tier magic, it’s really powerful…

Just as Mira was about to collapse from exhaustion, an indescribable surge of magical energy emanated from the direction of Ariel’s room. The light shone through the windows, drawing the attention of passersby.

“This is……”

Lynn was distracted and paused her attack.

Film was even more flustered:

“How is that possible? Doesn’t it take a whole day to refine one batch? How did she succeed in half a day?”

Mira seized the opportunity to steady herself with her cane, wiped the blood from her lips, and felt boundless joy in her heart:

“Ariel did it!”

Lynn put away her staff with a livid expression:

“……Walk.”

The plan to obstruct the operation has completely failed.

This is not just a simple matter of successful alchemy; it probably also indicates that Ariel’s alchemy may have reached a higher level.

But that’s impossible! Didn’t Ariel only start learning alchemy half a month ago?

Mira watched the two figures leave in a disheveled state, finally relaxing her tense nerves and letting herself slide down the wall to the ground, revealing a tired smile.

It seems I’m still very, very weak; even defense requires my utmost effort…
