I Think... I'm the Third Wheel?

Make Maria believe that he has this ability!

Maria's actions were simply to protect her child.

However, it is clear that Aifanier does not understand the special nature of Maria's identity and the many implications it holds.

He just felt that Maria was deliberately using this method to intimidate him.

Do you think that by doing this, you will obediently listen to her and give up out of fear of the legend?

No way!

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and then open them.

Aifanier had never felt his body so clearly.

He could feel his body temperature rising rapidly, his blood surging...

The power that I could never have imagined before has been fully activated at this moment!

His eyes...

Gradually turning scarlet!

"Um?!"

Everyone watching was utterly astonished by what they saw. The Rhodes Island team members were filled with surprise, as if they were seeing Aifanier for the first time, fascinated by everything about her.

The Banshees, however, felt somewhat relieved at this moment.

This was the first time they had seen this person, whom everyone had been anticipating since birth, and who displayed characteristics similar to Maria.

Meanwhile, Lamaline, looking somewhat worried and even a little resentful, pressed down on Maria was not far away.

It's one thing if you're as dumb as a block of wood, but how come this child, after all these years, still has the same personality as you?

Could it be that the blood has such a significant impact?

"Snort..."

Seeing Aifanier's eyes gradually turn crimson, Maria's lips curled up at an extremely slight angle, but she didn't show it much. Instead, she quietly took out her blade and stuck it aside.

"Times have changed..."

Aifanier murmured, silently raising his staff and aiming it at Maria before him.

"Um?"

Perhaps because it was her first time experiencing something like this, Maria seemed very patient.

She just looked at her child in front of her, without saying a word.

"I did not live through your time; I only heard about your deeds in those rumors."

"You are very powerful..."

But... times have changed!

Aifanier whispered, and the ancient language materialized into distorted characters that began to swirl around him.

With every ounce of power squeezed from his blood, Aifanier's confidence reached its peak!

He looked directly at Maria!

"The Banshees are no longer the same as before! We constantly develop secret techniques and continuously strengthen and refine them... The Banshees are no longer a race waiting for a savior to come and save them!"

Aifanier spoke, his blaze reached its peak!

He raised his head proudly, facing Maria without flinching.

More and more runes appeared around him, rising and falling with his breath.

Aifanier was indeed young for the Banshees.

But this does not diminish his amazing talent and patience in Originium Arts.

It's important to know that even among Banshees are unable to master their unique spells and the conditions required for casting Banshees.

Aifanier learned it... and, as an extremely rare male Banshees, he not only learned it, but mastered almost everything!

Perhaps there are areas he is not good at, but there is no doubt that Aifanier will very likely be the first male Banshees in history to master all the Banshee Secret Arts in the Banshee Court!

Such talent, coupled with his own hard work and the nurturing of Lamaline is also a master of Originium Arts.

Aifanier is already a formidable fighting force in the first tier of Kazdel!

Even though he was still unbelievably young.

Especially at this moment, Aifanier felt that his spirit and strength had reached the same peak level... He had never felt his body could be so sensitive.

Even the slightest changes in the air couldn't affect him.

At this moment, he had reached an unprecedented peak in his life!

And that is why he was able to speak those firm words to Maria at this moment.

"What you could do, I can do too, Father!"

Aifanier's gaze was sharp, and his tone was aggressive.

But...

Maria just chuckled softly...

"Bass--!"

A cold gleam was drawn from its sheath.

376

Chapter 376 I seem to be... the redundant one?

Maria smiled...

She looked at Aifanier with a light laugh, like a parent looking at an immature child, and drew her Blades.

Just as everyone held their breath, expecting to witness an extraordinary battle between father and son,...

Maria... plunged the blade into the ground.

"Um?"

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding why the other party was acting at this moment.

But Maria simply looked silently at the child in front of her.

She was actually quite happy... for many reasons.

He was pleased that Aifanier dared to draw his weapon against him, and pleased that Aifanier remained calm even at this moment. Of course, what pleased him most was actually the Aifanier addressed him.

Father...?

She's reached that point too.

Silently, Maria slowly took out a necklace with a distinctly Siracusa style and gently hung it on the hilt of her sword, letting it dangle.

"If you truly possess the power you claim, then prove it to me..."

"Get past me, take it, and you win."

Maria remained composed, as if she had never taken Aifanier from beginning to end.

Such an attitude was tantamount to making this already stubborn child grit his teeth.

But perhaps due to the personality traits he developed from being raised by his aunts and older sisters, he quickly calmed down with a single breath.

He raised his staff and aimed it at Maria.

"This is what you said, Father..."

"I said it."

Maria chuckled lightly, without even striking a pose.

Without a word, at the very last moment after Maria finished speaking, Logos suddenly swung the La Pluma in his hand!

Those ancient, mysterious characters, now in tangible form, flew towards Maria like sharp swords!

A flash of white light streaks through the air; the attack arrives the instant it enters the brain!

Without prior warning, it would be almost impossible for a normal person to dodge such a swift attack!

The sharp, chilling aura seemed truly aimed at killing Maria.

But...

"Too weak, Aifanier."

No one could see how Maria did it. Even Aifanier, who had pushed her focus to the limit using her technique, couldn't see Maria's movements clearly. In just a moment, the attacks grazed past Maria's body.

And...

"It didn't activate?"

Aifanier was greatly alarmed as he watched the spells rush into the ground and then seem to be swallowed up.

He could accept that his spells and secret techniques were broken, but he couldn't accept that these attacks disappeared without even a reaction.

Maria... how did she do that?

"Um?"

Maria blinked when she heard Aifanier's question.

She simply waved her hand, and a pale, seemingly tangible halo emanated from beneath her feet.

Slowly, they traversed the entire battlefield...

"Now, your technique is effective."

Maria spoke softly, her tone calm.

But such words made Aifanier himself.

"Are you... letting me win?"

He hadn't expected Maria to be so relaxed.

That flash of white light that traversed space was nothing more than a game to Maria!

"This is not something you should be thinking about, Aifanier. Going back to the previous question, your attacks were too weak... I know I may not be qualified to give you a high-handed lecture after being absent for so long, but I think you should be more clear-headed at this moment."

Maria said, deliberately putting on a serious face.

"Because... I'm serious."

"Gurgle..."

Aifanier's expression also turned slightly unpleasant.

As soon as Maria spoke, everyone felt a chill run down their spines for no apparent reason.

Although they had already placed Maria in a very high priority in their hearts, they still couldn't help but feel pressured after Maria said those words.

Fortunately, Aifanier was not overwhelmed by Maria's imposing manner.

Whether it was his inherently competitive nature or not, Aifanier's aura grew increasingly fierce at this moment.

He gave another barely audible call and then dashed out in an instant!

"Want to engage in close combat? This kid has a good idea."

Warfarin, who was watching from the sidelines, just curled her lip in boredom at the sight.

It must be said that Aifanier's idea was very bold. After discovering that Maria could actually dodge his attacks, he immediately switched his tactics...

This could really catch most people off guard during a sudden switch.

But...

Maria is definitely not among them!

"..."

Without speaking, Maria simply Aifanier before her, watching him press closer, and seeing several afterimages gradually appear around his body...

"A great idea."
