CHAPTER 363: Fury
At that moment, the window of the hotel suddenly shattered, but strangely, they did not see any figures. The broken window was the one closest to Meigen.
Just then, Zhao Hai's voice suddenly reached Meg's ears: "Be careful, a death warrior is behind Meigen; their target is Meigen."
As soon as Zhao Hai's words ended, Meg swiftly unleashed several wind magic spells from the Evil Spirit Staff she held, targeting behind Meigen.
Meg quickly realized the situation and shouted, "Laura, be careful! There's a death warrior behind Meigen, and their target is Meigen!"
Laura, being a seasoned fighter, reacted immediately. She turned around, shielding Meigen behind her, and brandished her rapier, skillfully performing a series of deadly sword maneuvers to protect her front.
At that moment, the magic released from Meg's Evil Spirit Staff became faster. Soon, a shadow appeared in front of Laura, already injured by the wind blade.
Naturally, Laura would not miss this opportunity. Her attacks grew fiercer; as a knight, her swordsmanship was quite formidable. With the rapier in her hand, she continuously changed her techniques, each strike aimed to be lethal.
That death warrior might have been fine in stealth, but facing a direct confrontation was not their strong suit. Not to mention Laura's swordsmanship, Meg's magic was already giving him a headache.
Currently, the magic that Meg was unleashing was not her own; it was controlled by Zhao Hai through the Evil Spirit Staff, with speed and quality comparable to a seventh-level mage.
In the end, the death warrior did not last long. Under the combined assault of Laura and Meg, he was pierced through the heart by Laura's sword. As soon as he died, a cloud of black mist emerged from the Evil Spirit Staff, causing the death warrior to vanish.
Laura and Meg were not surprised by this development; they knew it was Zhao Hai's doing. However, at that moment, Meigen was already in shock.
Having been treated like a princess all her life, Meigen had never encountered such a situation. She was truly terrified, especially after witnessing the death warrior being injured by the wind blade, the blood flowing from his body, and when Laura pierced him, blood spraying from the wound made her feel extremely nauseous, leading her to vomit.
Seeing Meigen's reaction, Laura was momentarily taken aback before quickly retrieving a cup of Spatial Water and helping Meigen to sit on a nearby chair, gently comforting her, "It's okay, Meigen. Don't be afraid; they're the bad guys, and we are just fighting the bad guys. Here, have some water to calm down."
Upon hearing Laura's comforting words, Meigen began to cry, feeling overwhelmed. It was the first time she had seen death so closely.
After a while, under Laura's gentle encouragement, Meigen calmed down a bit and took the water from Laura's hands, sipping it slowly. As soon as she swallowed the water, a warm sensation spread throughout her body, and her previously panicked mind gradually settled down.
At that moment, a knock sounded at the door, causing the three of them to tense up. Then, they heard Xu Wanying’s voice, "Miss Laura, Miss Meg, are you all right? Please open the door."
Laura glanced back at Meg, who was looking down, waiting for Zhao Hai's instructions. Finally receiving a sign from Zhao Hai, she raised her head and nodded at Laura, allowing Laura to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meg used wind magic to move the table away from the door, and Laura went over to open it. Standing at the door was Xu Wanying, his face filled with concern. When he saw Laura unharmed opening the door, he finally relaxed, but as soon as he noticed the broken window, his expression grew serious. He then bowed to Laura, saying, "I apologize for any distress caused to the young ladies; please punish me."
Laura waved her hand, "It's fine; we're not hurt. Have the enemies been dealt with?"
Xu Wanying nodded eagerly, "They've been dealt with; the Karlqi family has arrived. This place is completely secure. However, Miss, those who attacked us have all committed suicide."
