Chapter 1260: 17. Hard to Handle

"Only this, I refuse to accept!"

Amid a roar mixed with boundless grief, fury, and pain, Ariel grabbed the Skyfire Greatsword from the ground. The bandages wrapped around it automatically came undone, and the golden inscriptions instantly lit up brightly!

"Damn homewrecker, die!"

Flames surged upward. Even facing the legendary calamity, Ariel showed not the slightest trace of fear.

Rather, at this moment, there was already no such thing as a calamity in her eyes, only an evil homewrecker who stole her man, went on her date, played her activities, and even showed off to her while she had gone through untold hardships clearing the ruins and ended up covered in dust and grime!

She didn't care who you were. To actually... actually treat her like this, she absolutely could not endure it.

She had already been cucked once... twice... she absolutely could not be cucked a third time!

No!

"Die——"

"W-Wait!"

The Skyfire Greatsword carried all of Ariel's fury, its might astonishing, and yet... it had only just swung out when it froze in midair."

The one who acted was not Hamreign, but... Muen.

"Calm down, Ariel, calm down!"^

Muen half-knelt on the ground, pressed both palms together, and caught the blade barehanded.

At this moment, that sword was less than five centimeters away from him. He could even feel the scorching and sharp aura coming from it, could even see his own golden strands of hair being cut apart by the blade and drifting away in the wind.

The scorching flames dispersed the instant they encountered him, but the terrifying force attached to the sword still made his teeth ache.

Damn it, when had Ariel become this strong too? If he hadn't stepped into the realm of the Crowned Ones before, he really wouldn't have been able to block this strike./

"You... you're taking this homewrecker's side?"

But faced with Muen's obstruction, Ariel showed not the slightest intention of calming down. Instead, she became even more agitated, and the highlights in her eyes seemed to completely disappear into the darkness._

"Muen... my dear Muen, you're taking this homewrecker's side? Could it be that everything I did was completely meaningless? Compared to returning to my side, you prefer going on sweet, lovey-dovey dates with her?"

"I already said, this is just a misunderstanding!"^

Cold sweat poured down Muen's forehead: "I really didn't mean to betray all your hard work. [N O V E L I G H T] Rather, I'm extremely moved, really extremely moved. Knowing that you've been working so hard for me, I'm so moved that I want nothing more than to immediately hug you tightly!"

"But you were dating her! That's a fact!""

Ariel shouted in grief and fury: "If that's the case, then the matter of you getting her pregnant also isn't..."

"That is even more of a rumor! Ariel, believe me, between Miss Dragon and me, we are absolutely innocent! There isn't even the slightest bit of impurity mixed into our relationship, we're genuinely, completely innocent! Right, Miss Dragon?"^

Seeing Ariel's face full of disbelief, Muen could only ask Hamreign for help, because facing the Shura field before him, compared to his pale arguments, perhaps Miss Dragon was the one who could actually untie this knot.

"Innocent? Muen and I are of course innocent. Aside from a little simple exchange of bodily fluids, we also made an eternal agreement to become companions who move forward together, who will continue supporting each other no matter how painful the road ahead becomes. How could you possibly understand a relationship like this so easily?"

Hamreign lightly brushed her hair aside. Within her thick, fiery-red long hair, that exquisite hair ornament seemed to glow, instantly drawing Ariel's attention.

"Exchange of bodily fluids... eternal agreement... moving forward together..."

Trembling, incredulous, shocked, she looked toward Muen:

"Could it be... that you two actually... are already married!"

"...Huh?" Muen was completely stunned.

Among those words just now, was there even one that could be connected to the word "marriage"?

Thinking about it carefully... there fucking really was!

Rather, those words were genuinely very easy to misunderstand under these circumstances, plus Miss Dragon's arrogant appearance...

No, sis, I asked you to explain, not to pour oil on the fire!

"Taking you away, then marrying you, so this dragon... also has the same intentions as that bitch Celicia? And she actually already succeeded!"

As Ariel said this, she suddenly closed her eyes in pain, a single clear tear flowing from the corner of her eye: "In that case... since I can't have you, then I can only..."

"Don't put on that expression like if you can't have me, you'll destroy me!"

Muen was genuinely frightened. The Skyfire Greatsword, which had originally been very obedient between his hands and was even helping to counteract Ariel's force, seemed at this moment to also sense its master's pain and fury and began actively pressing down toward Muen.

At the same time, the flames rose again, and Muen felt the place where his hands touched the blade becoming increasingly scorching!

"Miss... Miss Dragon! Hurry up and seriously explain it!"

Muen was panicking badly, because he realized that if this Shura field continued developing, then it would no longer be an ordinary Shura field.

It would be the burial ground of this blond villain!

"Please... please, explain seriously... hurry up and clear up the misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding?"

Hamreign frowned, seemingly very confused by Muen's current reaction: "Didn't I explain our relationship in detail? Unlike this woman's lust for your physical body, what we share is more of a spiritual resonance. Is that explanation not clear enough?"

"This has already gone beyond being unclear, this is complete misdirection! Pure misdirection!"

Muen's cheek twitched violently, and he almost failed to catch his breath.

He could no longer tell whether Miss Dragon was genuinely this naturally oblivious or whether she was deliberately messing with him, but there was only one thing he was very clear about...

"I'm going to die... if this keeps going, I'm really going to die!"

The blade became increasingly scorching.

The flames became increasingly brilliant.

The blade was no longer five centimeters away from him, but less than one centimeter!

Clear phantom pain had already appeared on his skin. At this moment, that Skyfire Greatsword seemed no longer like a greatsword, but a life-taking cleaver!

"Help..." Muen let out a humble whimper from his throat.

"Don't worry."

Hamreign stepped forward: "As your companion, I will protect you. This rude human woman, I will help you teach her a lesson."

"You... you think I'll be afraid of you?" Ariel clenched her teeth tightly, the force in her hands not decreasing in the slightest: "Even if you're a calamity, you... you still can't stop me!"

"..."

The flames of war, within that stare flashing with sparks, could be fiercely ignited at any moment.

And Muen's hands trembled.

He half-crouched on the ground, the knee of one leg smashing into the ground, clear cracks appearing across the entire surface.

At this moment... he swore, at this moment the distance between that sword and him was already only 0.01 centimeters. As long as it moved forward another 0.01 centimeters, it would easily take his worthless life.

But also at this moment, Muen had completely lost the thought of begging either of these two lords beside him for mercy or asking them for help, because he knew it was already meaningless.

He was only thinking...

Someone... anyone...

A villain, a demon, a calamity, a man-made disaster... he didn't care who, as long as it was someone who could stop this fight, hurry up and save him!

He couldn't hold on much longer!
