It was only at this moment that his body slid to the ground. As soon as he hit the floor, the shield and battle blade in his hands were immediately thrown aside. Both hands clutched tightly at his crotch as he rolled desperately on the ground.

He had no idea what kind of injury he had suffered down there, but the pain was enough to drive anyone insane. Even more terrifying, when his hands covered his crotch, he couldn’t feel his little brother at all—it was as if that thing had already been smashed into a pulp.

Pain, panic, fear—every kind of emotion flashed through his mind. He had long forgotten about defense, even the battle aura that could protect him from magical attacks was neglected.

“Spike!”

Luke Carter finished him off.

From the ground beneath the gap in the armor at the back of Giggs’s neck, a half-meter-long stone spike suddenly shot up, piercing through the gap in the armor and stabbing straight through the completely defenseless Giggs’s neck.

Giggs is dead!

The warrior Terry was in utter disbelief.

The commander had actually been killed, and the opponent hadn’t even moved from start to finish—just stood there in the distance, using a few low-level spells.

How was this possible?

In the shadows, Celine was also dumbfounded.

Using at most a level 1 spell to kill a level 3 warrior wrapped up like a chunk of iron—she had never seen anything like it in her life!

‘Tsk tsk, perfect timing, terrifying spellcasting skills, frightening psychological control—this powerful warrior was toyed to death.’ Celine’s sharp eyes caught every detail, including the mental duel between both sides.

That was exactly why she was so shocked.

Chapter 8: Choice

In the blink of an eye, only one of the three powerful dark elf warriors remained.

Luke Carter didn’t know what others were thinking. Being able to kill Giggs so smoothly was a huge relief for him as well.

Part of it was his own strength, but he also took advantage of Giggs’s arrogance and underestimation. This warrior subconsciously always thought he could easily kill Luke Carter, never once treating Luke Carter as a real opponent.

To put it in gaming terms, he was way too cocky.

Now, Luke Carter had 2 free points left and 5 points of mana. Without hesitation, he converted the free points into maximum mana, so his mana cap became 81, with 25 mana currently available.

That was enough for him to deal with the remaining dark elf warrior named Terry.

Luke Carter turned to look at Terry, his wand pointed at him, the tip faintly glowing with magical light.

He was waiting for Terry to attack.

Just a level 2 elite warrior—if the opponent attacked, he could find a flaw and deliver a fatal blow, just as he had done with Xiuman and Commander Giggs before.

But unexpectedly, Terry swallowed hard and actually started backing away, retreating more than ten meters before suddenly turning and running—running fast, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Well, his courage was gone; he’d been scared off completely.

‘This guy must be going to call for reinforcements. I have to hurry!’ Luke Carter understood his opponent’s thinking, since there were plenty of dark elves in the magic academy.

He waved to Celine, who was hiding in the shadows, and said softly, “Let’s go, we need to leave here immediately.”

The teleportation tower was right in front of them, and no one was interfering yet—it was time to leave.

Celine stepped out from the shadows, her sky-blue eyes sparkling with a strange light. She smiled and said, “Luke Carter, your magic is really impressive—better than most people I’ve ever seen.”

There wasn’t a trace of fear on her face, only admiration.

This reaction was a bit odd. Especially when Celine smiled with her eyes narrowed, the sense of familiarity Luke Carter had felt from the start grew even stronger.

‘This Celine is definitely not an ordinary person. I’m sure I’ve seen her somewhere before.’

“Hey, what are you spacing out for? If we don’t go now, it’ll get dangerous.” Celine patted Luke Carter on the shoulder, snapping him out of it.

“Oh, right.”

Time was tight, and Luke Carter didn’t have time to think more. He followed behind Celine into the teleportation tower.

But as he walked behind Celine, looking at the girl’s back, her round hips, long straight legs, the fluffy ponytail hastily tied at the back of her head, and the natural, swaying, alluring figure as she moved, Luke Carter was suddenly struck by a realization and lost focus again.

He finally remembered.

This Celine looked like someone—more precisely, a demon, an NPC demon who had entered Luke Carter’s heart in his previous life’s game!

This demon’s name was Celine Flynn, known as the Demon Princess, one of the Four Great Beauties in the game “Myth.”

Her mother was human, but her father was the famous demigod, Abyss Lord Norman Harris—the very same guy who perished together with Luke Carter.

In his previous life’s game, to kill the final boss of the latest expansion, you had to complete an extremely complex prerequisite quest, and the quest giver was none other than Celine Flynn.

As a half-blood demon, Celine Flynn possessed immense talent, becoming a mid-level legendary powerhouse at a young age. The Abyss Lord Norman Harris would never allow such a promising daughter to remain in the mortal world, so he constantly sent demon minions to try to bring Celine back to the Abyss. For this, Norman Harris even went so far as to kill Celine’s human mother.
