War Online

Chapter 393: Liberation of Reverie province part-2

At one of the palace grounds, Bran and a human were locked in a sword battle against each other. Neither of them is getting an upper hand over the other.

The crown princess was busy fending off all the surrounding ambushes on Bran. 

Of the remaining two princes who were still alive, one who was freed from the Citadel of Searvale is also acting as a support to Bran and his sister.

As for the other, his location is not known. Bran suspects they were either held at Uflenor kingdom or missing but didn't have the time to look for him as his concentration was on freeing Reverie. He thought of searching for the third prince after winning this war.

*Cling* Cling*

Sparks were generated every time they clashed with the swords. While Bran looks calm on the surface, the current ruler is getting agitated as the battle getting prolonged further than he expected.

Spiridon Moliades was a level-453 Arch Duke, served under the previous king.

With the other princes, he was also stationed at the Reverie city by the late King to protect the capital region in case someone invades the capital in the absence of the king.

However, unlike the princes who resisted and got imprisoned or end up dead, he just submitted to Searvale along with the army after he heard the death of the king.

Later, after Uflenor was annexed into Searvale thereby ending the first phase, The Elven Queen appointed him as the new Governor for the Reverie province because of his high level. 

With the new status similar to that of a king, Spiridon was enjoying his time until the Crown princess decided to take back her rightful throne.

At first, he thought it was a foolish attempt and decided to end this war once in for all. However, he didn't expect Bran to turn out stronger than he expected.

There was a difference of more than 150 levels between them and yet, he couldn't even get an upper hand, much defeating him.

And for some reason, never once Bran used any special attack. Spiridon only felt like he was being mocked.

It only made him more frustrated as a result.

Right now, both of them were left with nearly 30% Health. For some reason, Bran was only using Intermediate Health potions that heal 10% of his HP every time he drank it. They also have 30 seconds cooldown. 

"As I have said before, you have no chance in this battle, Lord Moliades. Surrender yourself to our Queen. You'll still be spared." Bran spoke to him while launching a barrage of attacks once again.

*Cling**Cling* *Cling* *Cling* *Cling* *Cling*

Blocking all the rapid slashes with his own sword, Spiridon growled, "Never will I accept defeat to a low-level otherworlder. You may be immortal and keep getting resurrected with the creator's grace, but that doesn't mean you are invincible. Graaa"

Roaring on top of his lungs, he used all of his strength to push back Bran with the sword and then, leaped at him, unleashing a skill.

Looking at the sword burning in flames, Bran turned serious. "I guess it's time to end the war in one swoop."

"Thunder steps" 

Sparks of lightning suddenly dance around his feet as he brandished his katana.

Suddenly, Bran disappeared from his view just as Spiridon was about to strike him down.

As he landed on the ground, he felt a chill down his spine and rolled forward in reflex.

Bran was seen jumping in the air right behind the spot where Spiridon was standing just now.

Seeing how his ambush missed, Bran followed his strike by unleashing a skill to make sure this finishing strike land on his back as the Governor was about to stand on his feet.

"Fiend Strike"

The blade turned suddenly turned into flexible dark energy, which extended rapidly towards the back of Spiridon's neck.

Just as it was about to pierce the target, it was hit by a golden shield from the side and deflect its path, thereby saving the Governor.

Strangely, after colliding with the blade, instead of just falling on the ground, the shield just returns in the same direction.

Bran glanced towards the left and found a girl with a cold gaze as she caught the spear.

One could see a flaming armor on her or more like the flames taking the shape of armor, covering over the original Heavy Armor. On her back, there were fiery blazing wings that are made out of smokeless flames.

Pointing the heavy sword at him, she spoke in her usual cold tone, "Crimson Sun, from now onwards, I'm your opponent."

A frown appeared on Bran as he inspected her. "Siren of Galaxy Net guild, huh! This is going to be troublesome."

"Princess Siren." The Governor got elated as he spotted Rini. "Thank goodness, you are finally here. The reinforcements have not arrived until now. Are they here?"

Siren took a glance at him and replied, "I don't know. I only came here on my own as soon as I heard of the attack. And I don't think you can expect any powerful reinforcements. We have lost eight generals so far. Just kill that Princess and this war will be over. Meanwhile, I will take care of him."

At first, Spiridon was taken aback by her attitude towards him but then, after listening to everything, he no longer cared about her manner and turned his attention towards the Crown princess Tremellia who was currently in the midst of a battle against a player.

Just as he was about to make his move, Bran motioned his katana, which is currently in the form of a flexible dark energy blade, backward to thrust forward.

However, before he even got the chance to ambush his enemy, Bran saw a burst of flames from the corner of his eyes and jumped away to dodge them.

Rini was continuing to point her heavy sword at him with blue flames were dancing around it like a tornado. "I told you before. I'm your opponent. To kill him, you have to go through me."

"Sorry but I don't have an interest in wasting my time," Bran replied her in a serious tone as he opened up his chat room and sent a message for assist. In no time, he got a reply.

Snow Princess: Got it. On my way.

Glancing at the crown princess, Bran mumbled, "Just hold on for a minute."

Thrusting the dark energy blade towards Rini and drinking a bunch of advanced potions which recovered his health by 25%, stamina by 50%, temporarily increased his speed by 20%, and attack by 10% for 60 seconds, Bran tried to mislead her in thinking that he will battle her seriously to finish it quick.

And his bluff worked with a rare smile on her lips, she charged forward.

*Cling* Cling*

Both of their swords clashed. However, it turned out that Rini's raw attack power was more and Bran got pushed back while losing more than two hundred and fifty million of HP with a critical hit.

It greatly surprised Rini that Bran only lost 3% HP as a result, unlike her expectations. At the same time, the excitement only grew in her heart as she was about to face an intensive battle that she was longing for.
