Chapter 535: A Sweeping Victory

need to find someone to back me up. Otherwise, I might become a casualty.As someone like me, an ordinary person, I'm sure to be pushed to the front line.Actually, if you think about it carefully, Mr....Things and ripples turned out to be as expected. The bandits were mostly unconscious, including Golia's relatives and guards. Simon and his men had originally been hiding in a separate cave on the other side, avoiding meeting Golia's family. So when they detected something unusual, his guard cast a magic circle, allowing them to temporarily avoid the effects of the potion.

But they underestimated Raoul's skill. This potion wouldn't be completely blocked by the magic circle, only its penetration speed would be slowed down. By the time they realized it, two more people had fainted beside Simon.

Simon's magic assistant immediately stopped him from charging out, making him wait in the cave for the other party to walk right into their trap.

"Could it be that Gallia has really found help"

"Young Master Simon, I'm not sure yet, but I think we shouldn't rush out. Let's wait for those people to think we're unconscious and come in carelessly. That's when we'll strike back."

The surrounding mages sensed that a magical formation had enveloped the entire cave, so they didn't dare to probe recklessly, fearing that the other party would discover that they hadn't fainted. Of course, they also didn't know how many people were on the other side, and whether their trio could handle it. All they could do was advise their young master to lie low for now.

Simon felt uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and hid anyway.

He was already a Golden Knight and had a girl he admired, but to get the Nasci family's help, he could only marry Coralia according to his elders' arrangement. Unable to resist for now, he could only be attentive to Coralia.

But privately, he kept in touch with the girl he liked, secretly seeing her. The girl didn't want to be Simon's mistress, so she came up with a plan for him.

"Simon, all your family wants is the power of the Phantasmal Beasts. Why do you have to marry Coralia You could just keep her Phantasmal Beast captive!"

"Golia isn't stupid, how could she hand over her own phantom beast Without it, she wouldn't even be considered a commoner."

Simon shook his head.

"It's impossible to get her to willingly hand over her mythical beast. But what if she has a weakness in your hands, and is forced to surrender her mythical beast according to your terms"

The girl batted her long lashes, teasing Simon.

"Weakness!"

Simon, after hearing this, seemed thoughtful. He then, as if he had just thought of something, happily kissed Mary, praising her understanding. Afterward, he contacted a group of outlaws and, taking advantage of the Nasci family's planned journey to Palo City, staged a bandit ambush, effectively seizing control of Coralia's relatives.

He originally planned to take Golya together and threaten her with the lives of her loved ones to force her to comply, but Golya's phantom beast was truly formidable. It managed to bring her out of the encirclement, making her the only and most important fish that slipped through the net.

Simon was furious and berated the leader of this group before ordering them to search Liliana, Golia's mother, for her mirror. He planned to use it to contact Golia for help, but unexpectedly, Golia sent a message first, stating that she had found help to rescue them.

Simon was finally at ease, as long as Golia didn't run away. This time, he had to catch her. So he immediately arranged for the musclebound man to take people to block Golia and have him sow discord between her and the helpers she had brought. Then, they could seize her.

He continued to wait here for news until he discovered that the people in the cave had fainted. Only then did he realize something was wrong. But at this moment, rushing out would be very disadvantageous to them. He made the mage imitate Lilyan's voice, only saying two words before stopping, so that Corlia rushed in recklessly and was caught by them. As long as they captured her, his mage could open a magic portal, allowing them to leave here instantly.

But after so long, there was still no movement. After Simon's eyelid twitched again, he decisively said to the wizard attendant beside him:

"Hurry and open the magic door, we have to leave here now."

Since it was the young master's command, the mage immediately grasped his magic staff and began to communicate with the wind element, ready to open the magical gate.

With a "poof" sound, the next second, a silver sword tip appeared on the mage's chest. He lowered his head to look at his chest and the magic staff in his hand fell to the ground. The magical door hadn't been constructed yet, the wind element scattered instantly, and the magical formation that had opened to resist an unknown potion in the air also dissipated quickly.

Simon's heart skipped a beat, and in the next instant he drew his long sword from his waist to block an attack. The two swords clashed, the sound crystal clear. When Simon pulled his sword back, it scraped against the opponent's blade, creating sparks.

"Who!"

"You're going to die!"

Ripples said lazily.

At this time, the phantom beast Ah Yin had already relayed the situation inside to Corlia, and he helped the Grey Knight slay the most troublesome mage. After protecting Ripples in a sneak attack on Simon, he completed his mission, swiftly returning to his master's side.

And Grey snatched the wizard's staff from beside Simon, then turned to attack another knight.

The opponent's knight's rank was clearly no match for Grey's. Even summoning their mythical beast, they were still beheaded by Grey. The moment the knight died, his contractual mythical beast let out a howl and dissipated into the air.

Simon was left to fight the ripples alone. Grey didn't leave, but instead held his sword tightly, ready to take over immediately if the ripples overwhelmed Simon. He couldn't let this man get away.

On the other side, Golia, Leia, and Raje, led by A Yin, arrived at a large cave outside. They saw bandits lying scattered around. Raje, holding her magic circle, directly activated it on the forehead of a fallen bandit, shattering their soul.

Gallia, led by Aein, found her family. The magical binding spells on them had been lifted and they were all unconscious due to the effects of the potion.

Gallia immediately took out the leaves she had previously requested, crushed them, and rubbed them on the nostrils and under the eyes of her kin's guards. In less than two minutes, they awoke groggily. The first thing Lilyan saw when she saw Gallia was to tell her to run quickly, and said that the mirror used for communication had been taken.

"Mother, rest assured, I've found help."

A scream then came from inside the chamber. Layla and Raje, having finished off the bandits, exchanged a glance and nodded to Goly. They then rushed into the cave.

That scream belonged to Simon. Even with his summoned beast, the Gigantus Rex, bolstering him and granting him enhanced strength, he was still struck by the ripple and had his sword-wielding arm severed.

"Please don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want!"

Simon, his face pale, clutched his bloody wrist and began to plead in a low voice.

"Why kidnap Goliya Nasi"

I just want her beast!

"She died, and the fantasy beasts will return to the Fantasy Beast Space."

I just want to force her to break the contract with her spirit beast, my mage can control Ai-Yin!

Simon lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice.

"So you were the one behind this all along!"

Goliath appeared at the entrance of the cave, coldly looking at the disheveled Simon and said.

"Corlia, please forgive me! It was Mary who seduced me into doing this."o burly men with menacing faces blocked the doorway.At this sight, the shop owner immediately ducked under the counter and hid. It seemed he was used to such situations."Two beauties, you have taken t...
