The moment Ramos noticed Maria's action, he shouted.
''Fall back!"
Unfortunately, it was already too late; before they could jump back, numerous ice pikes shot out from the ground and pierced through their bodies, the luckiest had only their legs pierced while the unluckiest immediately died.
Radius twenty meters around, Maria was transformed into an ice zone full of spikes; Maria was panting, using this skill was not easy; half of her mana was depleted while more than half of her stamina was gone as well. She immediately took out Mana recovery potion and stamina potion and drank them.
Ramos, who had lost another man, but this time more than previous time, his face wasn't looking good, decided to take this woman seriously. He had just lost twelve men and was left with eighteen men. When Ramos whistled, his men understood; it was some special signal.
Men rushed toward Maria at once; they believed that her close combat ability must not be high as she appeared like a long-range attacker.
Ramos was preparing for the next attack when his expression froze. The three men who were approaching Maria from different angles had their speed slowed down. At the same time, two crystal daggers appeared in Maria's hands before she vanished, she reappeared in the middle of the three men and moved her arms, her movement was graceful yet deadly, the three were unable to follow her movements because not only their speeds slowed down but their brains slowed down as well making them unable to control their bodies.
Splash!
Critical! Critical! Critical!
Their heads were sent flying as their blood splashed the ground before freezing; Maria had already disappeared.
Ramos couldn't believe his eyes; he almost rubbed them to make sure that he was not dreaming; however, he didn't have the time to do that because that woman finally opened her mouth and her words shocked everyone present.
Looking behind her, Maria snorted coldly.
''How long are you planning to watch Miss Fox?"
'What, someone is watching, and even I, a Level 130, didn't notice?' Marcus was secretly alarmed; he became vigilant.
Suddenly, everyone present heard a chuckle, then the space around Maria distorted, and a woman came out, this woman was extremely beautiful. Golden hair, five tails, and fox ears.
Kuina finally made an entrance. She was smiling while Maria was not. She knew Kuina was also here but had not expected to encounter her here; if it weren't because of the twin spirits, Maria would have been unable to detect Kuina hiding easily.
'It seems that her mastery over illusion has increased to an incredible level.' Maria secretly thought.
The moment Kuina appeared, she gathered all of the attention, men gulped, Ramos was not an exception; their eyes shone with desire.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward, it was the guild master brother, he had long coveted Maria's beauty, but because he couldn't have her because of his brother, Lancelot hid it, however, now that he finally encountered another one his brother hadn't seen, he better take it for himself before anyone else.
"Beauty, I'm Lancelot, a High-rank member of the Crimson League. I fell in love with you at first sight. How about you go back with me? I'll guarantee you..."
Before Lancelot finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly. The majestic magic armor on his body was automatically distorted as if Kuina wanted to twist the whole person into a twisted fried dough.
The poor man even released painful screams before passing out in pain. Then his body burst into flame, and he was turned into ashes in an instant.
The brawny behind Lancelot, his bodyguard, was taken aback. He drew his sword and rushed toward Kuina in a loud shout.
Within two steps, he felt the sword in his hand had an unbearable high temperature. The sword
suddenly dropped to the ground with a ding
sound. The long sword turned into molten iron at
a speed visible to the naked eye.
The brawny man was shocked. This is not just
fancy armor, but a weapon of excellent grade!
Boom!
A huge fireball appeared of thin air as if it was an illusion before slamming into the brawny man, sending him flying extremely far away; he disappeared from everyone's sight, his fate unknown.
From beginning to end, Kuina didn't look at them.
She just stared at Maria with a smile.
''Sorry, but I'm already taken by a handsome man with heterochromia eyes.''
The moment Kuina said these words, the air turned instantly chilly as if a blizzard was taking place.
The twelve remaining men took a step back, it was unknown what made them afraid, but they all knew that at this moment, better not butt in between those two women or else you would not even know how you died. Somehow, they saw an illusion of a gigantic nine-tailed fox facing a likely giant Ice phoenix.
When the atmosphere between Maria and Kuina was about to escalate further, a sudden notification rang out.
[Ding!... Hidden quest activated. Rise to Fame.
Because you killed one of the strongest guilds in Vegas' city, you activated the hidden quest: Rise to Fame.
Condition: Trample on the Crimson League guild.
Rewards: + 2 and 5000 Fame points.
Failure: -5 Levels; -1000 Fame points.]
Maria and Kuina looked at each other for a moment before smiling. Their smiles sent a chill down Marcos and his men's spine, and he immediately ordered.
''Retreat!"
Although Marcus didn't know what made the two women who were about to jump on each other throats reconcile so abruptly, he was not about to wait to find; somehow he had the feeling that he would die if he chose to face those two women, one already gave him headache then forget about adding another one he would lose his life if this were to happen.
However, having the determination to escape when the odds are against you and being able to escape were two different things. How could Kuina and Maria let those juicy pieces of meats go?
Obviously, they were going to let none of them leave here alive. Kuina flicked her fingers, and a red light burst out from her body and surrounded the group. Soon they found themselves unable to escape no matter what they did; they were trapped inside an illusion, Kuina's illusion.
Ramos sighed and decided to face the two women knowing well the outcome of this fight.
