Chapter 395 Clash of Speed

"Yup." said Anna.

"*Sigh* Alright, I give up. Your instinct definitely is too weird and powerful. Just don\'t rely on it too much. You should be able to make your judgment on your own." said Angus.

"Ehh… Anna always does it." said Anna.

"Huh??" asked Angus confusedly.

"Anna\'s instinct always tells me to get away from Angus and Big sis. But, Anna doesn\'t want to separate from Angus and Big sis. So, Anna always ignores it." explained Anna.

"Hm?? Interesting… Since when is your instinct telling you to get away from us?" asked Angus.

"Since Anna arrived in this world." said Anna.

\'Arriving in this world.. That means around one year ago. But why is her instinct telling her that? Is it for better survival? Indeed, the Endless Battlefield dimension is dangerous, so it must be safer for her to be with us.

\'I guess Firuman is more peaceful than Endless Battlefield. In other words, Anna will be fine even without us. Moreover, as royalty and the duke\'s son, we will often meet high-grade combatants than ordinary ones.

\'This definitely will expose her identity as a monster-minded person and put her in more danger rather than being her own.\' analyzed Angus inwardly.

"I see… It must be hard for you to keep fighting against your instinct. I am glad you choose to stay by our side. You don\'t need to worry. Big sis and I will always care for you." said Angus while patting Anna\'s small head.

Being patted by Angus, Anna couldn\'t help but show a happy smile, enjoying Angus\'s hand on her head. After that, Angus goes to the tent and begins to work on finding the cure for the Plargos\'s curse.

While Angus is busy working on the cure, the others decide to do whatever they want. In the meantime, the war once again entered a stalemate. The Ostrax and Urdrary kingdom managed to be pushed back into their border by Duke Blue and Duke Victory, respectively.

As for the Traynia kingdom, they didn\'t dare to launch another attack and decided to stay at their border since the appearance of Duchess Amberblaze.

Their losses in their previous battle cause them to hesitate to launch another attack, especially since Crimson Flash is on the top of the Thornbridge Wall. It could be said that as long as she stays in that place, it will be almost impossible to break the Thornbridge Wall.

The Duchess is not only famous for being a strong fighter but also a good commander. It could be said besides King Leon, only a few people could match her commanding capability.

The Duchess is currently sitting on the top of the Thornbridge wall while looking at the dark night on the horizon. Despite her casual attitude, she still takes her job seriously.

By staying on the top of the wall, she could observe and notice unusual things using her sharp perception. It will be hard for anyone to pass through Thornbridge under her watch. Then, a woman wearing full metal armor approaches the Duchess.

"My Lady, here is the Viscount Eagle\'s report." said Adeline, Vice leader of the Flash squad.

"Thank you for your hard work, Adeline." said Duchess Amberblaze before reading the report and writing something on it.

At the same time, Adeline waited patiently for the Duchess to finish her work silently. After a while, the Duchess gave the report back to Adeline. Despite getting the report paper, Adeline didn\'t immediately go away, which made the Duchess confused.

"Adeline, is there any problem?" asked Duchess Amberblaze.

"Umm.. M-My Lady, could I accompany you to dinner?" asked Adeline timidly.

Hearing this, the Duchess gave a smile, "Sure, if you don\'t mind the cold wind." said the Duchess.

"T-Then, let\'s start to eat now." said Adeline as she took out some of the food from her storage device.

Adeline knows the habit of the Duchess when she is doing her job. Unlike other generals or nobles who will take rest and eat in their private quarters. Duchess Amberblaze never neglects her job, even just eating or having a warm bed, especially since they are in the middle of the war.

For the past few days, the Duchess kept staying on the top of the wall, even eating or drinking on her spot. Since Adeline knows how stubborn her leader is, she decides to accompany the Duchess rather than force her to eat inside.

While eating beside the Duchess, "My Lady, can I ask you something?" asked Adeline.

"Hee.. Why the serious face, Adel? You could always ask me anything." replied the Duchess.

"Umm.. Yeah.. Then, could you tell me the secret behind your speed?" asked Adeline with an expectant look.

"Pfft.. Hahaha… I thought you would ask something serious. But, to think you will ask me about this stuff. This really makes me laugh. Hahaha.." said the Duchess.

"Ehh.. But, I am serious, my lady." said Adeline.

"Well, I already told you many times. My speed cannot be replicated by others. I got this power by accident." said the Duchess.

"I know.. But, you never told me what this accident is." said Adeline.

"Hmm.. I guess I never really told you about it. It actually doesn\'t have much story on it. I just.. want to become stronger at that time and… was supposed to die.

"By some ridiculous fate, I managed to survive and have this power." said the Duchess while reminiscing her memory.

After being silent for a moment, "When I was a child, I never wanted to become the fastest. On the contrary, I just want to become the strongest. All I want is to have a very powerful body. Yet, by a series of coincidences, I end up having this body." added the Duchess.

"I see… Is that the reason why you always emphasize training our body?" asked Adeline.

"Yup. Anyway, I think you should get back now. You still need to return the report to others." said the Duchess after finishing her meal.

"Right, then I will excuse myself." said Adeline after taking the cutlery.

Before when away, Adeline looked at the Duchess once again. She finds the Duchess ignoring her and looking at the night with the same expression she always wears. Seeing this, Adeline feels like wanting to call and accompany her. But, she knows it is a futile attempt.

After training under the Duchess for dozens of years, Adeline knows the strong Duchess is actually broken inside. Yet, she never shares this pain with anyone. Even Adeline couldn\'t help her even if she wanted to. But, she knows it has something to do with the King and the Empress.

In the end, Adeline could only release a long sigh and went back inside while praying for the Duchess to overcome her problem soon. A few moments after Adeline goes inside, the Duchess Amberblaze looks at the worn-out metallic bracelet on her wrist.

She looked at the metallic bracelet with a complicated expression while touching it.

"Leon.." muttered Duchess Amberblaze.

At the same time, inside the Royal Palace, King Leon also looks at the worn-out metallic bracelet on his wrist.

While caressing it, "Extalia.." muttered King Leon.

The moment both of them say each other\'s names simultaneously, they find themself inside a dark space. Yet, they could see their body without problem even if there was no light source in the surrounding.

They find their body seems to be in an incorporeal state with their body shape. Seeing the familiar situation, King Leon and Duchess Amberblaze immediately look around and find each other not too far away.

Before King Leon could say something, his instinct flared up and immediately used [Blink] to the side. *Blarr* A flash of red light arrives on his previous location and a gigantic greatsword touches the ground.

Before King Leon could speak further, Duchess Amberblaze charged at King Leon again. Despite their incorporeal state, they know any injury they get here will also reflect their real body.

It means they could also die if they are dying here. Therefore, King Leon could only dodge using Blink and get away from the Duchess.

"Tch.. I didn\'t know that seventh-grade combatant is actually a coward, Leon?!!" roared the Duchess.

"Lia.." replied King Leon.

"How many times did I tell you not to call me by that name!!" shouted Duchess Amberblaze as she increased her speed.

Seeing that talking is impossible, King Leon summons his sword and begins to fight back against the Duchess. *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* In a few seconds, both of them clash more than hundreds of times.

Each of their blows contains a tremendous amount of force that can instantly kill any fourth-grade monster.

"Hahaha… You are getting slower, Leon!!" laughed Duchess Amberblaze

On the other hand, King Leon couldn\'t reply as he was busy defending the Duchess\'s onslaught.

"Tch.. You force me to use this, Lia!! [Star Dance 1st Step - Flash Strike]" said King Leon.

Suddenly, King Leon disappears from his spot and appears from behind the Duchess. Just as the Duchess wants to cut Leon, who is behind her using her monstrous speed, King Leon disappears again and appears on her side. *Bang*

Despite King Leon\'s sudden appearance, the Duchess still managed to parry King Leon\'s attack and was thrown back far away. Still, King Leon didn\'t feel happy after looking at the scrape in his armor.
