Chapter 315: Chapter 198: Ronald’s Doom (Request for Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets)

"Aileen, come back quickly!"

Ronald was bellowing at the top of his lungs.

Actually, the scene where Ronald and Aileen parted was quite touching.

To let his teammate survive, he faced the ferocious demon alone to buy Aileen time to escape.

But Ronald’s shouting completely destroyed the touching atmosphere, turning a moving scene into a farce, making Ronald’s suave image reminiscent of a clown.

What’s more clownish is that despite Ronald shouting himself hoarse, Aileen’s figure never appeared.

The Thief Saint’s speed was astonishing. Especially since Ronald wasn’t holding her back, she disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, no matter how loudly Ronald called out to her.

For a moment, Ronald looked like a defeated rooster, utterly dejected and rather pathetic.

One was a handsome nobleman, and the other a petite, adorable girl, creating a perfect hero-saves-beauty scenario. Under normal circumstances, the nobleman might suddenly explode with a burst of "cosmic energy", unleashing boundless strength to turn the tide of the battlefield and win the lady’s heart.

Unfortunately, Ronald had no such ability.

And Aileen could never fall for Ronald because in her heart, there was only Jie Luo.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Accompanied by dull footsteps, a huge figure emerged through the thick smoke in front of Ronald.

It was Luo Meng.

His enormous eyes filled with mockery, he sneered at Ronald, "Look at the noble swordsman, oh, what happened to you? Why have you become so disheveled?"

"You let that little beauty leave and then you scream for her to come back. Are you scared, or do you regret it?"

Ronald’s eyes filled with hatred as he stared at Luo Meng, then to his dismay, he noticed that Luo Meng was followed by a multitude of powerful demons.

Luo Meng hadn’t sent his minions to pursue Aileen.

This realization made Ronald sink further into despair.

If Luo Meng had sent his followers to chase after Aileen, her excellent ability to stay concealed wouldn’t allow her to be easily captured; it would also divert many masters away, giving Ronald a chance to face Luo Meng alone and possibly overturn the situation.

But now, Aileen had left.

All the masters were gathered in front of him, encircling the area in a circular formation.

Ronald had no way out.

He had no chance of surviving at all.

"What are you looking at? Don’t tell me you thought I was going to pursue that girl? She is the Thief Saint, and I am aware of how difficult it is to try and kill a Thief Saint,"

"Don’t take this prince for a fool."

"Capturing just one member of the Hero Team is a tremendous achievement. If we had split our forces, we might have ended up with nothing."

"No matter what, it’s better to hold on to one first."

Watching the shock in Ronald’s eyes, Luo Meng felt smug, lecturing in front of the many demons, showcasing his wit and intelligence.

A crowd of demons kept nodding, loudly praising how wise and insightful the Seventh Prince was.

In fact, all these were Candice’s suggestions.

Capturing just one was sufficient, and this achievement was enough to cover up everything else. No one would bother about the mistake of letting one escape, especially since few demons knew of Aileen’s existence.

Ronald’s eyes widened in disbelief. He could hardly believe that this Seventh Prince, long known for his brawny muscles and simple mind, had become so clever all of a sudden.

This guy has always been greedy for everything, right? When did he change his nature?

"It seems like we’ve talked enough, it’s about time to send you on your way," Luo Meng’s massive body stood in front of Ronald like a towering mountain.

Suddenly, he lifted his giant foot and stomped directly towards Ronald’s head.

This demon Prince, even without relying on his formidable magic power, purely using his physical strength in combat, possessed nearly invincible destructive power.

Instantly, a huge shadow loomed over Ronald’s head.

Ronald clenched his teeth, pointed his toes, and leaped into the air.

Boom, boom, boom...

Underneath the huge foot, the tree where Ronald had been standing instantly turned to dust.

Since he was completely blocked and surrounded with no way out, his only option was to fight to the death.

Ronald clenched his teeth, his fingers tightly gripping the thin sword, and with a slight wave, a myriad of sword shadows enveloped Luo Meng.

Pff, pff, pff, pff...

Sounds like tearing thick leather.

Suddenly, bursts of blood splattered from Luo Meng’s chest and face.

The sharp Sword Qi tore through Luo Meng’s skin, blood streaming freely.

Yet, these wounds were insignificant to Luo Meng’s immense frame, akin to pinpricks, utterly unable to affect his actions.

This Seventh Prince, who previously preferred to let his minions engage first against Benson and only striking when Benson was nearly drained, now chose to confront Ronald directly.

With a large number of elite demons newly sworn under his command behind him, he had to demonstrate his strength before his minions.

And Ronald, utterly exhausted from the prolonged chase, weary and considerably weakened, yet still of prominent status, was an ideal target: capturing him posed little risk, proved his own strength, and ensured that Ronald had absolutely no chance to escape. It was a very cost-effective move.
