Chapter 519 - 269: It’s All Your Fault_3
"Huh?"
Meluna’s expression froze on her face.
"No relation whatsoever?"
"That’s what I mean. Whether it’s her or you, I don’t want to get involved in any of your matters anymore."
Li Ang turned around and walked into the forest without looking back.
Meluna immediately chased after him, using a swordsman’s step imbued with magic power, her body like a phantom, she instantly reached his back.
Farina estimated and clicked her tongue in awe, realizing that this kind of speed and movement was something she couldn’t counter without raising a shield in advance.
But before the black-haired female sword hero could reach out, Li Ang had already raised the Demon’s Hand to cast the Slow Spell.
Meluna’s movements surpassed the visual limits of the caster, her sword flashed, and this spell was dispelled.
The Dragon Witch adjusted her hat in surprise and released her senses, discovering that it seemed as if Meluna knew how to counter this type of spell. Instead of attacking Li Ang or the spell itself, she instantly sliced through a Dimensional Rift, disrupting the magic power operation within the spell.
Just as Meluna was about to say something, the Slow Field came right after.
The effect of this move far exceeded that of a single Slow Spell. When some around them fell into stagnation, Meluna was also inevitably enveloped within.
She watched as Li Ang summoned the Armor of Wind and vanished into the sky.
Earlier, while fighting Meimei, Farina had experienced this move herself and knew its duration was brief.
However, after emerging from the slow, she didn’t rush to leave and waited on the side for Meluna.
When the slow ended, Meluna’s stepping foot landed on the ground, but it seemed she had already understood something.
Farina sighed inwardly. She waited there hoping to prevent any extreme situations, and if nothing happened, she would leave as well.
She had thought about many possibilities regarding the past between these two and even considered if Li Ang had omitted some things. Now it seemed he had laid everything bare; this female sword hero had a personality and perception different from others.
But no matter what, you wouldn’t leave someone you care about without a word for so long. Farina shook her head, thinking that any observer would probably conclude that this relationship had ended.
If you really cared about him, would you leave without saying anything for so long? No matter how many reasons there are, not even a kindly lie?
No, there’s another possibility.
Farina pinched the bridge of her nose. Although there weren’t many like this, the only reasonable explanation was that she had taken it for granted that Li Ang would accept everything about her without question, so her heart harbored a sense of security. This state might have been maintained subconsciously, so she never thought of clarifying these matters.
Just like a child overly pampered by parents would never consider others’ feelings.
At any rate, Farina couldn’t understand someone who could go away for two or three years without mentioning it at all. Even to execute a task for the Dragon God, she herself coordinated with her teammates or partners before daring to leave.
Meluna stood silently for a moment, as if Farina didn’t exist.
Finally, she took a deep breath and then threw Meimei, who was in her arms, directly to the ground.
In mid-air, Meimei twisted her waist, summoned a stream of water, and rotated her body like a dance to stand up.
She must have been awake for a while.
"It’s you?"
Meimei scrutinized Meluna’s face and said, "Previously spying in the forest, I thought my perception was wrong. I didn’t expect that apart from me, someone else did the same thing."
The girl looked at Meluna’s black hair: "But it’s still a bit different."
"It is different. I never expected you to be there at all. No wonder he was always mumbling strange things to Grandpa Otto," Meimei said.
"I finally found a warm place, and you wanted to kill him."
Meluna’s voice carried a coldness, and the anxiety she faced Li Ang with was replaced by a silent dignity.
"Don’t tell me you didn’t come for this." Meimei said with a playful smile.
"Yes, but I soon realized I was wrong."
"Oh, so you let him play you completely?"
Meimei was about to mock her, but remembering some things, she became both ashamed and angry: "Even there, and there too, he knows it all—you’re absurd—"
"It’s all your fault."
"What?"
"It’s all your fault, he’s mad at me because of you."
"What?! What did you go through? How does your mind work? I just listened to a few sentences and knew it was entirely your fault—"
Before Meimei finished, the cold gleam in Meluna’s hand swept over.
"Hmph."
The girl easily dodged: "Even though your regained strength is greater than mine now, and your realm standard is higher, I can still see through techniques of identical origin at a glance."
"So, where one side is not seen through, it means the other side is at a higher level."
Mention sword techniques, and Meluna immediately seemed to forget about the quarrel. She wielded her sword and lunged at the girl with the same appearance opposite her.
"You’re really crazy. I don’t want to fight you; my sword was seized by your fling."
"Then you are weaker, great. I’m going to tie you up and take you to apologize to him," Meluna said indifferently.
"Get lost!" Meimei shouted angrily.
"Torrential Sword Realm."
Meluna swung her sword toward the sky, slicing open a rift in the dimension. The surging magic power within quickly turned into clouds and raindrops, transforming into a torrential downpour that engulfed the entire space.
