As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Looking at the hostility in Jason's eyes, Roy couldn't help but fall silent.

Before setting off, Lyanna warned him of this worst-case scenario.

"My junior's plan is good, but unfortunately, there is still one last loophole."

"The Prince of the South Seas isn't as rational as he appears. He longs for kingship, but the South Seas are peaceful, leaving him with power and wisdom but nowhere to display them. To put it nicely, he's got a strong desire to win, but to put it bluntly, he's just a competitive brat."

"You've pushed him into a desperate situation, but that will only make him risk everything, you know? If he really brings out the Howling Ocean Guard, even the Dark Magic faction won't be a match for him." When she said this, even Lyanna's brows were rarely filled with fear.

Now, the situation is just as Lyanna expected.

But it was precisely because of Lyanna's reminder that Roy was able to prepare a backup plan in advance and fill the last loophole.

Under Jason's stunned gaze, Roy sipped his drink and cast a look of mockery and helplessness at him: "Your trump card is good, but have you ever considered that you're not the only one holding a trump card?"

Jason's heart trembled violently, and he thought of a terrible possibility.

Could it be that even the appearance of the [Roaring Ocean Iron Guard] was something Roy had anticipated...

No! I've already staked everything, so I have no choice but to continue gambling! Even if they could have foreseen it, they wouldn't be able to stop it!

Jason sneered, "A trump card? Oh, stop playing dumb. Lionheart or Dark Devil, I've never heard of you possessing any extraordinary items of this level!"

"The gap between Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 is simply..."

Before he could finish his words, Jason suddenly froze in place.

Because he clearly felt that a sinister and terrifying force was rising up and facing his [Roaring Ocean Iron Guard] from afar!

Roy didn't say anything, but just raised his glass and made a gesture of invitation towards the door.

Jason couldn't hold back any longer and ran out of the mansion quickly.

The sky was filled with dark clouds and the air was filled with waves, but the water giant was not as invincible as Jason had imagined.

It was because a witch with brown hair and black dress, holding up the bone wand in her hand, stood in front of the water giant.

Compared with the huge giant, the witch's figure is so small, but the extraordinary fluctuations emerging from her body are no less than those of the water giant, turning into a substantial dark brown shadow.

Sequence 7? Could she already be Sequence 6?!

Jason nearly fell over in shock. After all, such a young Sequence 6 was unprecedented, and there wasn't a surefire way to find one.

After a careful observation, Jason discovered that Lyanna was still at Sequence 7, but he was too late to be happy.

Because, Lyanna suddenly stuck her wand into the ground.

A terrifying giant hand covered in snake scales stretched out from the void and slammed down onto the lake with a terrifying momentum, like the judgment of a devil.

The power of Sequence 6 comes from that giant hand!

Chapter 51: Defeat

The giant snake-scale hand fell and collided violently with the water giant's axe.

Amidst deafening roars, layers of air waves exploded, creating a massive tsunami that swept in all directions without distinguishing friend or foe, sweeping away all the extraordinary beings around. The few Sequence 7 beings could only barely avoid the waves and protect themselves.

Unless one has a golden-level bloodline, mid-level battles are simply not something that ordinary low-level transcendents can interfere with.

This was probably the most intense factional struggle in history.

In fact, even the academy, which has always taken a laissez-faire attitude towards factional struggles, had to release bird familiars to closely monitor the battlefield to avoid any accidents.

Among the South China Sea faction members who were running for their lives, only Jason ignored the cold wind and rain, staring wide-eyed at the raging waves on the lake.

At this time, Roy came up leisurely with his wine glass in hand.

Jason clenched his fists and said stubbornly, "Even that witch is only Sequence 7. There's no way she can compete with the [Howling Ocean Guards]!"

"It's impossible for her to do it herself. But I lent her a good thing." Roy shrugged.

"Even so, at most both sides will suffer losses!"

Roy had already foreseen the outcome and did not argue, but just smiled without saying anything.

[Howling Ocean Guard] and [Hand of the Titan] are both Sequence 6 extraordinary items in terms of grade. They don't seem to be much different in quality, and they both have powerful destructive power.

But one is an artificial counterfeit created by later generations based on the Titans, and the other is the corpse of a real mythical creature. In terms of status, the latter is obviously superior.

Moreover, the one wielding the staff is the girl of destiny in the original work, the [Snake-Eyed Witch].

The output efficiency of any magic wand will vary greatly depending on the user's extraordinary power.

In Roy's opinion, Lyanna's attack was even better than the previous necromancer from the School of Undead, and it almost brought the Hand of the Titan to its extreme.

This witch, whose talent is almost demonic, is only one step away from Sequence 6.

Lyanna held her wand high, but it seemed as if a wall of air was blocking her from bringing it down. But as she unleashed her full strength and let out a sinister laugh, the final shackles were shattered.

The bone wand fell down with a loud bang, and with it fell the remains of the Titans.

As if angry at the counterfeit's blasphemy, the giant brown-scaled hand opened its five fingers wide, like a roaring basilisk, and rushed out with the speed of thunder!

The entire lake was shaken by this blow, and huge waves rushed towards the top of the mountain.

The water giant was pierced by the earth-shaking blow and finally could no longer hold on. He fell heavily into the lake as if exhausted.

Under the falling rain, a faint rainbow appears.

The members of the South China Sea faction couldn't believe that their country's treasure, its last trump card, had been defeated so easily. They were still arguing, shouting, and praying that the thing could stand up again.

However, Jason seemed to have no bones left. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground in a mess.

He did not look at the battle situation on the lake, but just stared at the broken blue orb, unable to speak for a long time.

Even the trump card that was supposed to save his life was completely scrapped, but he still couldn't save the situation.

He had intended to suppress a rising star from the South as a senior, but he never imagined that he would lose so completely.

------

This night was not peaceful.

From the mansion stronghold on campus to the territories and shops outside the campus, the South Sea faction and the Lionheart faction launched fierce attacks and defenses.

Naturally, no one from the student union or the security team dared, and no one could stop the dispute between the groups of extraordinary people.

However, the outcome of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations.

At dawn, the blue figures were the first to retreat, while members of the faction wearing red school uniforms took to the streets to celebrate their victory.

"You're worthy of being a young master. You actually did it, meow!" Choco hugged his sister and joined the cheering team.

Charlotte leaned aside, looking a little tired, looking at the pale sky across the sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

But she did not indulge in the atmosphere of victory for too long. She stood up again and led the knights out of the mansion.

"If you can still move, follow me to the Nanhai Mansion."

The young people shouted in unison, mistakenly believing that they were going to show off in front of the loser, but they didn't know that their princess was more worried about another figure than the immediate victory.

"Lyanna, cooperation is cooperation, but you'd better not get carried away!"

On the other side, Roy and Jason sat back down at the table in the banquet hall.

But this time, under the oppression of a group of black magicians, the members of the South Sea faction were all pale and pale. Even the most flamboyant Kuran lowered his head in humiliation and dared not say another word.

Beside Roy, there was another girl with brown hair and a brown dress, smiling sweetly and looking charming.

"Long time no see, Prince of the South. Remember you swore before that you would stop me from laughing next time we fight." Lyanna covered her mouth with her hands and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What a pity..."

Before she finished speaking, Lyanna burst out laughing, like a wind chime that softened the ears, quite charming.

But Jason didn't appreciate the lingering smile of the girl, and blushes rose on his forehead.

"Lyanna, I admit that I lost to Roy. But I haven't lost to you yet! If there is a chance for a fair fight..."

"Oh my? What a cute dog bark! So there's even a sense of fairness in the battles between factions. So next time you encounter an enemy, you can kindly ask for fairness, okay?"

"you......!"

Jason was so angry at Lyanna's undisguised mockery that he almost overturned the table. Fortunately, the black-haired boy between the two of them coughed slightly, which made them both restrain themselves.

Looking at the two people who were like water and fire, Roy couldn't help but be speechless.

No wonder Douglas and Jason were both extremely wary of witches, while the other was full of hostility. It seems their defeat by Lyanna must have left a psychological scar.

"If I lose, I lose. I believe that as a prince of a country, you will not deny it, right?" Roy looked at the negotiation contract on the table.

This was their three-party contract, and the terms were based on the one Roy had presented earlier, with the addition of many of Lyanna's requirements.

If this is signed, even if the South China Sea faction is completely paralyzed, it may be even worse off than the Sands faction whose core members have been injured.

"......I see."

Jason sighed softly, and finally, holding the pen tremblingly, he signed the contract in front of Roy.

At this point, the dispute between Lionheart and South China Sea came to an end.

After signing, Jason seemed to have aged ten years. "Roy Ironblad, you're still an amazing guy."

He gave a weak, bitter laugh, a laugh that seemed both self-deprecating and self-consoling. "Not to mention that every move I made was within your calculations, but you even prepared for the Roaring Ocean Guards. You've planned so carefully, I'd hate to lose."

The black-haired boy just smiled faintly when he heard this.

With the experience and understanding of the original work, plus Lyanna's spies, it is not difficult to predict the actions of the South Sea faction.

The only trouble was the [Howling Ocean Iron Guard]. It wasn't impossible for Roy to fight them if he used all his strength, but factional fighting wasn't a fight of life and death. It would be an exaggeration to do so, and it would expose his own trump card to the public, attracting the covetousness of the cult.

But who can blame him for having a sequence 6 extraordinary magic wand in his hand, and Lyanna, a witch who can use the magic wand to its full potential?

"However, I still have a question." Jason raised his head and glanced coldly at Lyanna: "Why did you choose to join forces with her?"

Chapter 52: Stay Away from My Knight

Lyanna, holding her cheek, looked at Roy and said meaningfully, "If you must say, it's a mutual attraction, right?"

Roy deliberately avoided looking into Lyanna's seductive purple eyes and corrected her, "I prefer to call it a mutual benefit."

Lyanna needed his help with the power of the "False King," and he needed the certificate of kingship that she possessed. It was simply a collaboration.

Seeing that the black-haired boy was indifferent to the witch's temptation, Jason finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that these two people are not in that kind of relationship.

He didn't want to see the guy who defeated him become the witch's plaything.

"I know this sounds like provocation, but I still want to remind you, be careful of the witch."

"A cruel and ruthless black magician cannot be trusted at all. No matter what agreement you reached, she is only using you. If there is any real danger, she will definitely betray you without hesitation!"

Lyanna's eyes darkened slightly as she scoffed at this: "As a way of sowing discord, isn't this a bit too crude?"

However, at this moment, the black-haired boy asked calmly, "So?"

"so......"

"I know the rumors about black magicians. They say they've been forced to fight monsters, even their own kind, since they were young. They've taken potions inflicted by demons, and therefore are cold-blooded and ruthless."

Roy knew very well that these rumors were true.

The original work mentioned more than once that Lyanna had done many dark things to reach this point on the path of a dark magician.

The girl beside him listened to the words nonchalantly, as if she was listening to something that had nothing to do with her, as if she had already gotten used to it.

Jason couldn't help but ask, "Then why are you teaming up with her?"

"But I don't care."

Jason froze in his tracks.

Lyanna's pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

"Our cooperation is temporary. How can there be eternal trust?" Roy glanced at Lyanna. "At least she is not my enemy now. That's enough."

"Besides, I've already said that you don't need to worry about our affairs, senior." Roy patted Jason's shoulder with a little force and said earnestly, "The South China Sea faction has been severely damaged. Students should worry about their own affairs first."

This time, Jason was speechless in response to the boy's advice.

After signing the contract, Roy and Lyanna walked side by side and came to the outside of Nanhai Mansion.

The sky gradually turned pale, dispelling the last of the night. In the wet morning breeze, the brown-haired girl cast a faint teasing look.

"How thoughtful! I didn't expect my junior would speak up for me. I'm so touched."
