Chapter 179 - 178. Escaped?
"How about we swap opponents?" Tyler suggested, eyes glinting with mischief.
Lily glanced at Captain Silver Eye and then over at Lutz, who was wielding his staff with concentration. She scrunched her face in doubt.
"I have a feeling that’s not a good idea," she muttered. But despite her words, she moved, swapping positions with Tyler, ready to face Lutz.
Tyler stepped forward, now facing Captain Silver Eye, who eyed him with cold calculation.
Silver Eye’s frown deepened. "Last time you ran like a coward."
"-Bounced away like a rabbit," Tyler corrected mockingly, a smirk tugging at his lips.
Silver Eye remained still, his sharp eyes narrowing. He had witnessed Lily’s power firsthand. If she was only the Vice-Captain of the Blackwood Pirates, then Tyler, the Captain, must be even more dangerous. Caution filled his gaze as he readied himself.
If he knows Tyler’s real strength he would have already beaten him to death. But the fact that Stronger one won’t be subordinate to weaker one didn’t cross his mind.
Meanwhile, Lily was almost caught by Lutz’s Water Prison spell. She swung her whip through the forming sphere of water, breaking the spell before it could fully trap her, though beads of sweat dotted her forehead.
"Damn... he’s strong. He’s a Master-Level Mage," Lily panted as she moved back to stand beside Tyler. The two of them stood back-to-back, surrounded by their respective opponents.
"Master Level? He doesn’t seem that strong to me," Tyler said with a puzzled look. Despite being at just the Elite level himself, Lutz’s attacks hadn’t felt as overwhelming as he’d expected.
