Fredrinn Firecrown: The Weakest Villain

Chapter 90: We Must Survive!

Fredrinn sent a barrage of fireballs to Blake.

The fearsome flames of the fire domain scorched Blake's skin so he covered his body with Qi.

Seeing that his fireballs were ineffective, Fredrinn sent a more powerful attack. He manipulated the flames around him to form a gigantic flaming spear and hurled it toward Blake.

Blake deflected the flaming spear with his axe, forcing it to shoot into the sky.

Bang!

'I still can't accurately gauge his cultivation, but based on the power of his attacks, he should be at the latter stages of the Core Formation realm.' Blake furrowed his eyebrows.

Meanwhile, Fredrinn was already close to exhaustion. 'Of course. How could it be easy to defeat a Nascent Soul martial practitioner? Even with the Blazing Inferno Domain, I still can't overpower him.'

He had used a huge portion of his Qi to release this domain. He only mastered this recently and it was the first time he used it in actual battle. Unfortunately, the enemy was just too strong.

While the two were engaged in battle, more than half of the Firecrown Household's troops had already fallen. Among Fredrinn's guards unit, ten had been killed and more than half were critically wounded.

At this moment, Kristine cut down the enemy in front of her. She breathed heavily as she looked around. The corpses of the fallen warriors of the two armies littered across the western side of the estate. "When will this end?" She muttered with a soulless voice.

"Die, woman!" A malicious voice echoed behind her, but she was too tired to move her body.

She thought that she would die, but a figure suddenly appeared and killed the man before he could even touch her.

"What are you doing, Squad Leader?! Snap out of it!" It was Anne, the deputy of her squad. She grabbed Kristine's shoulder and slapped her face.

Pa!

It was painful.

Kristine's soulless eyes regained clarity. She looked up and saw Anne staring at her with worry. "Anne?"

"Stop daydreaming! Hold your sword properly if you don't want to die!" Anne shouted.

Kristine scanned her friend's body and noticed that she had numerous cuts and stab wounds. "You're hurt…"

"Stop worrying about me and worry about yourself! Enemies are coming! Prepare to engage!"

Hearing this, Kristine looked away from her. "I'll leave my back to you." She muttered.

Anne snorted with a grim smile.

On another side of the western wall, Olivia and Alice had already stopped operating the ballista. They joined the main troops to fend off the invading enemy forces.

Both ladies were covered in sword wounds. If it weren't for the team of elites guarding them, they would have already been killed.

"We need to bring Miss Alice to a medic!" Shouted the squad leader responsible for their safety. He knew that these two women were close to Fredrinn so he unhesitatingly guarded them as soon as the battle began.

There was a broken spear on Alice's shoulder. They didn't pull it out since it might cause severe blood loss.

Olivia was crying as she helped Alice walk. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't…"

"Stop blaming yourself. I'm fine…" Alice forced a smile.

Looking at the two pitiful women, the squad leader sighed. Suddenly, he sensed a group of warriors charging at them. His expression changed and he immediately raised his sword. "Defend the young ladies!" He shouted to his subordinates.

Among his ten subordinates, four had already died and the remaining six were injured.

"Kekeke! There are two women here, sir!"

"Kill the men and bring back the women!"

"Yes, sir!"

The faces of Alice and Olivia fell when they heard the approaching men's conversation.

"I won't let you touch them!" The squad leader swung his sword and killed two of the enemies. His subordinates also engaged them in battle. Meanwhile, Olivia stood beside Alice as she warily gazed at the enemies.

"You don't have to look after me," Alice muttered in a weak voice.

"How could you say that? I won't leave you here!" Olivia was determined to protect her. If it hadn't for Alice, her skull might have been penetrated by that spear.

"Woah! Look at these two!" A perverted voice drifted into their ears, making the two ladies look over with nervous gazes.

In front of them was a middle-aged man holding a sword.

"Don't even think about harming them! You will regret it!" The squad leader shouted when he saw the situation. He wanted to go and help them, but he was tied up by four martial practitioners.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed condescendingly. "It seems like you two have some background for those people to willingly protect you." He muttered as he leisurely walked toward the two ladies.

"Stop! Don't come closer!" Olivia pointed her sword at the man.

"Do you even know how to wield that sword? Look! Your hand is shaking." The middle-aged man smiled wickedly.

Olivia gritted her teeth. She didn't know how strong the man was, but she felt an instinctual fear as she looked at him.

Suddenly, the man's figure blurred and he reappeared before Olivia. The latter swung her sword in panic, but it was easily blocked by the man. He then made a grabbing gesture while looking at Olivia's chest.

"Hm?" The man hurriedly retracted his hand.

A knife covered in ice flew past him.

"You can't touch her!" Alice's face was covered in sweat.

The man's face darkened. "I was only being lenient since you two are women." He muttered coldly as he swung his sword.

Olivia immediately raised her sword to defend Alice.

Clang!

She managed to block his sword, but she was thrown away and fell to the ground.

"Olivia!" Alice's face fell.

"You should worry about yourself." The man grabbed Alice by the neck and lifted her off the ground.

"Ack! Hhcjjk!" Alice fiercely struggled, but she was unable to break free.

"I like the face you make when you struggle." His lips curved upwards to form a vicious smile.

Pu-chi!

The man felt a cold sensation on his chest. He looked down and saw the tip of a sword penetrating his body. He lost his grip on Alice and staggered before he fell to his knees.

"Arghh!!"

He turned his head and saw Olivia staring at him with a disgusted look. He wanted to kill her, but he couldn't muster the strength to stand up.

Olivia pulled out the sword from his chest and stabbed his neck.

"Ackkkkk!! Kkkkk!!"

The man made weird gurgling sounds. His face slowly turned red and he soon collapsed to the ground.
