Chapter 553 Really a Waste

At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge pit with blue flames flickering inside.

The walls and ground around the pit were burned transparently red as if they could melt at any moment. The temperature in the area was extremely high.

Kamryn sat cross-legged in the middle of the pit, surrounded by blue flames, his expression showing pain as he underwent some process.

Similar to Lachlan under Thunder Tribulation before, Kamryn's entire body turned black like charcoal and seemed like it could turn into ashes at any moment.

Phoebe guarded outside of the pit. As an ice attribute person, it was extremely uncomfortable for her to stand here but this beautiful young lady still endured her discomfort to protect Kamryn.

However, at this moment she noticed two figures walking towards them and her face changed suddenly. Her beautiful eyes looked warily at Kevin and Vanaro.

"Kevin, is that you? What a small world! Even here, we manage to run into each other so easily? If you don't want to die, get lost!" Phoebe drew her Frost Soul Divine Sword and pointed it at Kevin and his companion, speaking in a cold and stern tone.

Outside the Enigma Ruins, Lachlan had already clashed with the opposing party.

The proposal Kamryn put forward, to cooperate and explore the ruins together, was definitely impossible.

The other side was an enemy, not a friend! So when Phoebe saw Kevin, she didn't hold back anymore.

Upon hearing this, a smirk appeared on Kevin's face. "Well, well, what a coincidence, beautiful! Why should I leave? Weren't you planning to cooperate with me and explore this site together?"

Phoebe's face turned cold, her expression carrying a hint of seriousness and caution as she stared at Kevin and Vanaro.

Dealing with Kevin was manageable.

Although he was a slight step higher than her, being in the mid-stage of Golden Core, his awakened abilities were of ordinary constitution.

Phoebe, on the other hand, was confident in her advanced ice attribute physique, especially with the Frost Soul Divine Sword in her hands, she wasn't afraid of Kevin.

However, the foreigner dressed as an Ascetic Monk by Kevin's side was inscrutable to Phoebe.

At that moment, Phoebe heard the Ascetic Monk speak with a smirking smile.

The Ascetic Monk appraised Phoebe, his eyes carrying a mix of desire and amusement, and said, "What a beautiful Priocia woman! I didn't expect to encounter such a beauty in the Nest of Malevolence. It would be a shame to kill you directly. Beauty, as long as you're willing to kneel and swear loyalty to me, serving me with your soul, I can give you a chance to live."

Upon hearing this, anger flashed on Phoebe's face, and a cold light shot from her beautiful eyes. "Get lost! You're simply delusional!"

Who was she? She was the young mistress of the secretive Hudpids Sect. How could she crawl at the feet of a foreign man like a dog, begging for mercy? Hearing the other party's request, Phoebe was furious.

"Hehe, it seems you don't know your place. Do I have to show you my strength for you to bow down??" Vanaro seemed unfazed, smiling wickedly as he asked. "Master, this woman seems quite arrogant. It looks like you'll have to take action," Kevin instigated from the side.

In his heart, he thought, "Woman, oh woman, you better be useful and help me stall this Ascetic Monk for a moment.

Since encountering Vanaro until now, Kevin had been deceiving and evading him, but he never gave up on escaping.

At this moment, he saw that Vanaro seemed interested in Phoebe, and he instantly felt an opportunity.

However, as soon as the words fell,

Vanaro's eyes carried a sharp and playful look as he looked at him, as if he had seen through Kevin's thoughts This woman only has the strength of the early stage of Golden Core, so there's no need for me to personally intervene! Help me

subdue her. You can cripple her, but content rights.

don't kill her! Understand?" Vanaro instructed Kevin as if he were

ordering a subordinate.

Upon hearing this, Kevin's expression instantly changed. He was a bold person, when had he ever been bossed around like this?

And if he attacked Phoebe while Vanaro watched, how could he find an opportunity to escape?

Feeling that his plan had failed, Kevin felt a surge of unwillingness and resentment in his heart. But being under someone else's roof, he had no choice but to lower his head. Having witnessed Vanaro's strength, Kevin didn't dare to disobey his command without finding an absolute opportunity.

In the next second, Kevin drew his own sword and charged towards Phoebe.

Phoebe disdainfully spat at Kevin, finding his behavior as an outsider pathetic!

A battle between two Golden Core experts immediately unfolded.

At this moment, Kamryn was enduring the burning pain in his body, desperately absorbing the surrounding fire elemental energy attempting to break through from the late stage of Core Formation to the Golden Core Realm. Ultimately, he couldn't help Phoebe in any way.

On the other side, Lachlan followed the traces of Miranda and Kevin, only to discover several "corpses" of Skyguard Battalion soldiers and Dragon Sword Brigade members along the way.

Their souls were also extracted,

ים.

leaving behind only a "shell" with a faint trace of vitality. This filled him with anger, vowing to make the culprit pay with their life once he

encountered them to cleanse their sins.

After marching in one direction for over half an hour, Lachlan's expression suddenly changed. He faintly heard the sound of a fight coming from a distance. He quickly concealed his aura and hurried towards the source.

Clang!

The Frost Soul Divine Sword clashed with Kevin's longsword once again. With a crisp sound, Kevin's weapon was unexpectedly shattered by Phoebe.

With this opportunity, Phoebe's sword technique swiftly brought forth a splatter of blood from Kevin's shoulder socket.

Kevin let out a muffled groan and repeatedly stepped back. His face fluctuated between anger and uncertainty, his feet seemingly floating as he glared at Phoebe with eyes ready to shoot fire. Vanaro had forbidden him from taking Phoebe's life, so he found himself restrained when it came to attacking her.

"Hmph! Trash!" Phoebe arrogantly raised her chin and disdainfully insulted him.

Meanwhile, Vanaro sneered coldly on the other side. "You truly are a waste! Let me handle this myself. If you want to escape, feel free to try! Hehe..."

Vanaro glanced at Kevin with a threatening gaze, then wielding the Soul-summoning Banner, he slowly approached Phoebe step by step.

Phoebe's expression immediately turned serious. She glanced back at Kamryn, who was still undergoing a breakthrough, gritted her teeth, and decided to face the opponent in battle.

"It seems you want to resist, but soon you will realize it's pointless!" Vanaro observed Phoebe's posture, filled with amusement.
