I Would Never Deceive You

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm still Seven Sages of Destruction, your gaze is really making me uncomfortable."

Uldis stared coldly at the suddenly appearing Serie. An Elf, and a Mana Elf at that, was quite unexpected.

"What does it matter? They're just ants anyway."

A fervent glint flashed across Serie's face. Just as Li Yan attempted to teleport and steal the kill first, a fierce storm barrier blocked Li Yan, its meaning all too clear.

"Leave this guy to me, you can have the rest of the smaller fry."

Serie excitedly teleported in front of Uldis, and unleashed a furious burst of magic at him.

"You've messed with me, haven't you? My mist will slowly wear down your magic attacks."

Uldis raised his hand, and a protective shield formed from mist enveloped his entire body. The scattered Mana exploded like a bomb, creating a tremendous sound as it struck Uldis, who was encased in a sphere of mist.

Uldis's body was blasted dozens of meters away, like a kite flying backwards.

"Impressive magic. As expected of Seven Sages of Destruction of the Demons, to have mastered even ordinary mist magic to this level."

Serie praised him with satisfaction, her expectant gaze fixed on Uldys, who was flying backward. "So, can you bring me any more surprises?"

Uldys, who was blasted away, was a little dazed. The opponent's Mana was beyond his imagination. In just one round, his proudest and strongest defense was completely destroyed. You must know that it was magic that could absorb the Mana of the opponent's attack and turn it into a stronger defense.

"Hand of Mist!"

As a large cloud of mist appeared around Uldis, a giant mist hand formed from white mist lunged at Serie with a fierce attack.

Serie's lips curled into a slight smile, and with an expression of utter disdain, she raised her arm. Hexagonal Shields rapidly unfolded, and the Mist Hand's fierce attacks slammed into Shield, the dull thuds echoing through the forest. Serie spoke with a mocking tone, "If this is all you've got, then you may say goodbye to your life."

As the hexagonal Shield dissipated, several Cutting Magic sliced the massive hand of mist into countless pieces. The shattered hand of mist slowly dissipated, and Uldys looked on guard. His greatest trump card, the mist shrouding him, had been completely blown away, and he had lost his greatest advantage.

"Grandmaster, if you can't do it, let me do it."

Li Yan stretched and, relying on the Holy Sword and Spatial Movement, the so-called Demons soldiers scattered with the wind before they even saw him.

"What's the rush? The best is yet to come. Wait until I've completely drained this so-called Seven Sages of Destruction."

With one hand, Serie manipulated the breath of fire and the raging storm, and a massive fire tornado hurtled directly toward Uldys's position.

"What the hell!"

Uldys cursed under his breath as he watched the fiery tornado hurtling towards him. If he didn't use his full strength now, he might lose his life here.

He originally didn't want to come to the human world, but the Demon King ordered him to assassinate a magician named Flamme. Since it was the Demon King's order, he had no choice but to lead his subordinates towards the Royal Capital.

"The Mist Beast!"

As Uldis unleashed all his Mana, a large cloud of mist appeared behind him, his body seemingly merging into it. The mist, like a giant beast, frantically lunged at the fire tornado, attempting to fight back. The mist, however, was completely shattered by the tornado's frenzied rotation and intense heat, like a piece of chocolate falling into a blender and being utterly crushed into pieces.

"How boring. Their so-called final blow was just running away."

Serie frowned as she looked at Uldis, who was escaping with the last Mist Beast. This trash was an insult to her and a waste of her time. She thought it was some kind of powerful magic, but it turned out to be nothing but a weakling.

"You can have it, I'm tired of playing."

The initial excitement and fervor in her heart turned to indifference, and Serie walked towards the Mana chariot with a bored expression.

"This is driving me crazy! It's even more frustrating than when my internet keeps buffering while I'm watching an art film. I finally got into the mood, and then I was cruelly interrupted."

Li Yan licked his dry lips, gazing at the retreating figure of Uldis in the distance. That slender waist filled him with longing; he so desperately wanted to wield the Holy Sword and deliver the strike the other desired.

Li Yan didn't hesitate during the several Spatial Movement. His first Normal Attack was aimed at cutting off Uldis's legs as he fled. Seemingly sensing the Mana fluctuations behind him, Uldis suddenly turned around and unleashed a Mist Hand attack.

"Useless effort!"

A cruel smile spread across Li Yan's face as the Holy Sword mercilessly severed the Hand of Mist. Before Uldis could react, the light of the Holy Sword had already severed his legs.

"How is that possible? How could the Hand of Mist be severed by an ordinary weapon? This is a hardness that even a refined iron sword cannot leave a mark on."

Uldis was shocked. He had personally tested the hardness of his Mist Hand, a conclusion reached by Demons general who had struck with all his might using a refined iron sword. Only a top-tier warrior could break through its defenses.

Looking at his severed legs, a look of panic rose on Uldis's face. The human in front of him clearly only had Mana fluctuations of level 20 or so, but his strength was completely beyond description.

In human terms, the opponent was playing dumb to catch a tiger; a human warrior deliberately used magic to attack.

"Despicable humans!!"

Looking at Uldis, whose anger was tinged with fear, Li Yan gently placed the Holy Sword against his neck. "Are these your last words? Tell me, what is your purpose in leading a troop of Demons soldiers on this road to the Royal Capital? Are you going to slaughter villages or do something else evil?"

Uldis slowly raised his head, looking directly at Li Yan who was staring intently at him, a hint of mockery on his face. "The Demon King only ordered me to kill a human mage. As for who it is, I won't tell you."

"To die at the hands of a powerful human is not a disgrace to the name of Uldis of the Seven Sages of Destruction of the Mysterious Mist."

Uldis seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, the fear on his face gradually fading. He simply stared silently at the sky, waiting for Li Yan to kill him.

"A human mage? Tell me your name, and I, Frieren, will spare your life."

Li Yan spoke with an air of righteous indignation, which moved Uldys, who had already given up on life. As long as... as long as he said that person's name, he could live.

"Human, are you serious?"

Uldis used the alluring properties of the mist to wrap his injured legs, his eyes filled with a yearning for survival as he looked at Li Yan with anticipation.

"I, Frieren, swear to the heavens, if I have lied to you, may my entire village be struck by lightning and wiped out by the Demons!"
