Princess Alice had lost.
Her defeat had come so suddenly, so inexplicably.
Why had the Scarlet Flame Phoenix, which had radiated boundless might just a second ago, vanished into thin air?
Gewort City's upper echelons could not accept the outcome before them.
But the members of the reserve squad had long since grown accustomed to it.
Did Captain Ling need any explanation for defeating enemies above his level?
At that moment,
the third-turn priest waiting nearby immediately stepped onto the stage and revived Princess Alice.
Ling Zhan, meanwhile, calmly walked off the stage.
In truth...
Alice could only be blamed for being too unlucky.
The Flame Phoenix bloodline she relied upon happened to be suppressed by Ling Zhan's system divine skill and system title.
Sun Flare's black flames, along with the title "Ten Thousand Flames Suppression,"
allowed Ling Zhan to effortlessly crush any fire-element opponent.
Level and attributes were irrelevant.
Even if Ling Zhan's level and four-dimensional attributes had been lower, the effect would have remained the same.
Unless the opponent was a level-one-hundred, fourth-turn powerhouse,
all fire-element methods were useless before Ling Zhan.
Besides...
It was obvious at a glance that Princess Alice had neglected the training of her combat techniques.
Having her skills and bloodline suppressed did not mean her four-dimensional attributes were suppressed as well.
If Princess Alice's combat techniques had been outstanding just now, she could have held on a little longer.
At the very least, when her skills and bloodline had gone out like extinguished flames, she could have gritted her teeth and dodged Ling Zhan's straight-sword strike.
But that was normal.
Ever since Gewort City had fallen into crisis, Princess Alice, as its city lord, had been run ragged. It was only natural that she had neglected to hone her combat techniques.
Never underestimate
