1274 That's what she said!

"W-What...?"

Lyriana widened her eyes in disbelief.

Although she didn't think Arcturus would die because of this, she still felt that it would heavily injure him.

Of course, she wasn't dumb enough to think that defeating the Arcturus would be this easy, however, the one in front of her was not the real Arcturus. He was someone else in Arcturus's body.

His body may be strong, but with his personality different, it shouldn't be a surprise if his power had dwindled.

Or at least that's what the Elven Queen thought when she noticed that Arcturus wasn't doing anything to block her attack.

It was only now that she realized that it wasn't because there was a change in personality and that he couldn't react to her attack, it was because the man knew the attack of this level wouldn't hurt him.

That was the Dragon Lord's confidence.

And the moment Lyriana noticed the wide grin brimming with confidence that appeared on his face, her expression changed.

Before she could react,

Arcturus disappeared.

Lyriana looked around, tracking Arcturus's whereabouts at the last moment, but it was already too late.

Arcturus's punch landed on Lyriana's back, the Mana barrier that protected her broke in an instant and her body was sent flying.

Crack

A loud crack was heard.

"Ugghhhh!!"

The Elven Queen grunted in agony.

In just a single punch, her spine was broken. She couldn't move.

The results of the battle were clear, however, Arcturus didn't stop.

He rushed towards the fallen Queen, the Mana in the air trembled continuously, Lyriana could feel that the punch Arcturus was preparing was countless times stronger than the last one.

It was a punch that could very well take her life.

Arcturus appeared right in front of her however, just before he could land the punch, another figure appeared in between the two fighters and held Arcturus's incoming punch as if it was the easiest thing in the world.

"You aren't hurt, are you? This could have gotten messier, huh."

Nux spoke as he turned around and glanced at Lyriana with a heroic look on his face.
