“Lovis, keep in mind, if Evane dies, you will be killed next. You two need to work together if you want to win this battle.”
Nux spoke in a calm tone.
Lovis glanced at Nux, seeing that he was still fighting against the Assassin, an angry look appeared on his face.
“Talk after you defeat that assassin first! You useless bastard, you couldn’t even defeat a single assassin, what right do you have to order me around!?”
After saying those words, he turned towards Evane and the assassin he was fighting again, he could see that Evane was being pushed back.
‘If Evane is killed, you will be next.’
He then remembered Nux’s words.
“Uggghhhh!!”
With a long groan, he dashed toward the assassin and attacked him.
“Good!”
Evane praised.
Lovis forced out a smile and the two of them started attacking the assassin again.
Even though he was fighting against 2 opponents, the assassin wasn’t pushed back, Evane’s attacks were getting weaker and weaker, and Lovis was the same too, the assassin knew that as more time passes, his victory would be much clearer.
However, the assassin couldn’t waste any more time.
His partner, who was fighting against Leo was in a disadvantageous position, he had to help him before he is defeated.
The assassin fighting Nux was in a strange situation where even though he had a clear advantage, he failed to land a single blow on his opponent. He didn’t know when he would get rid of Nux and will be free.
Therefore, everything depended on him.
With that thought in his mind, the assassin attacked Evane with more force than normal, Evane, who didn’t expect that was pushed back, and taking this opportunity, the assassin attacked Lovis with full force.
“AAAGGghhhhhHHh!!”
Lovis shrieked in pain. Looking down, he noticed a huge cut on his chest with blood coming out continuously.
Lovis panicked and completely forgot about his opponent who was right in front of him.
Seeing this chance, the assassin’s eyes shined and he attacked again, this time, he aimed at Lovis’s neck.
“NOO! LOVIS!!”
Evane shouted in fear and panic.
Flames burned around her sword again and she dashed toward the assassin.
The Assassin frowned and decided to block, the Flames surrounding Evane’s sword turned even fiercer and she slashed her sword at the assassin.
“Aggghhhhh!!!”
Evane’s sword tore through the assassin’s 3 Star Dagger and slashed his chest.
A wound similar to Lovis’s appeared on the assassin’s chest, however, Evane did not stop.
“AAhhh!”
With another roar, she appeared in front of the assassin and beheaded him.
*Clank*
Evane used her sword as support and stood up.
“Haahh… Hahh… Haahh…”
Her face was pale, her entire body was drenched in sweat, her limbs were trembling and she was breathing heavily, it was clear she had already used every ounce of her Mana.
How was she still standing up, no one knew.
Lovis, who was standing behind Evane couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his sister defeated 3 Grand Master Stage Assassins and 1 Expert Stage Assassin on her own.
How ridiculous is that!? How is she so strong!?
Leo was an Expert Stage Cultivator as well, however, even though he is still fighting his enemy and although he had an advantage, he still hasn’t defeated him.
Lovis knew that the cultivation, more difficult it is to kill the opponent of the same Cultivation, then, how, just how did his sister defeat his opponent so quickly?
Lovis was confused, terrified, and impressed.
He momentarily forgot about his pain and looked around.
Leo was winning, he would defeat his opponent soon, Nux was still fighting against the Grand Master Stage Assassin, he and Evane were now free, however, both of them were too tired to help anyone.
After analyzing everything, Lovis concluded that he was now safe.
He had survived this dangerous situation.
His eyes then fell on the person responsible for his safety and a small, genuine smile appeared on his face.
“Sister…”
He called out and even though his wound was still bleeding and it was unbearable and painful, he still walked towards her.
Evane, who heard his voice, smiled,
“Don’t worry, everything is fin-”
Before Evane could even say anything, Lovis had already taken out a dagger and was about to pierce him.
The tired Evane couldn’t possibly block this attack, this attack was too sudden, and in truth, Evane was too shocked to even respond to this attack.
‘No…’
Evane muttered in shock. She couldn’t believe that she was going to die at the hands of the brother she trusted.
Soon, however, Lovis’s expression changed.
The wide smile on his face was replaced by a frown, he then turned a little and his eyes widened in surprise.
Evane turned her head and saw Nux standing beside her, holding Lovis’s hand with an emotionless look on his face.
“H-H-How!?”
Lovis’s eyes widened in shock!
He glanced at the place where he was fighting against the assassin and only found that assassin, lying on the ground, lifeless.
“When did you…”
Lovis couldn’t believe his eyes.
Nux, however, didn’t bother to reply, he just turned towards Evane and spoke,
“You believe me now, don’t you? You nearly sacrificed your life to protect him and this bastard still tried to stab you from behind.”
“…”
Evane didn’t know what to say.
“Evane,”
Nux called with a serious look on his face.
Evane looked into his eyes.
“I have to do this. I am sorry.” Nux spoke.
“Wha-”
Evane frowned, however, before she could react, Nux pierced Lovis’s stomach with his own dagger.
“Ugghhh!!”
Lovis’s eyes widened in surprise.
“NUX!”
Evane shouted in worry and tried to rush toward Lovis, however, Nux grabbed her from behind and narrowed his eyes.
“He tried to kill you, Evane.”
“B-But-”
“He is still my brother, I know, don’t give me that bullshit. He is your brother who tried to kill you, that is even worse than these assassins.”
Nux spoke in a serious tone.
“Look, Evane, I didn’t say anything before because I didn’t have any solid proof, but if you still try to defend him,
Then you disappoint me.”
