Chapter 179 Which side are you on?
"Hey, you've let your pet take action, so you're willing to fight me?"
Neller smiled happily when he heard that. He reached his hand behind his back and the cold black knife finally came out of its sheath.
"Take out your cold steel, Lilith." There was a bloodthirsty light in Neller's eyes, and his face was full of excitement and anticipation.
"Are you sick——"
Lilith was still speechless about the striking gargoyle, but she had already heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the wind. She subconsciously dodged to the side, and the sharp blade of the black knife brushed past her nose and cut off a few strands of her hair.
"How rude." The slender hand caught the hair before it fell to the ground. Nerelle held up the golden hair and sighed, "What a pity, but this does not diminish your beauty in the slightest."
"...It doesn't matter. It helped me strengthen my memory." Lilith sneered, mobilized her mental power, and silver-white cold steel appeared in her hands.
After being pestered by this guy for so long, I almost forgot that he is a perverted psychopath.
There are no good people in the royal family, of course—except our dear Catherine!
Lilith sighed inwardly, picked up the sword, and rushed forward without hesitation.
Seeing this, Neller was so excited that the skin on his face trembled. He also stepped forward, and the two shadows intertwined in the sunset.
After he dodged another slash with an extremely exaggerated bend, Lilith couldn't help but pause for a moment, feeling both amazed and annoyed that she couldn't defeat him immediately -
“Are you dancing?”
It was so annoying. He was too agile, like a slippery fish. This was not the quick and decisive battle that Lilith had imagined.
The ghostly figure opened and closed in the night, with a certain ancient sense of rhythm. The sky was getting darker and darker, and his black knife was almost invisible in the night. Lilith had to stare until her eyes were sore to catch that bit of cold light.
"Then do you want to dance with me?" Neller seemed to be completely blind to the anger on Lilith's face. Instead, he wiped the back of his knife with a smile. "Our swordsmanship is inherited from the Dark Moon Goddess, and it was originally used as a sacrificial dance. You are really perceptive, Lilith."
Dark Moon Goddess? Lilith couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing that. What is that?
As the sky grew darker, Nerler became more and more excited. He closed his eyes and stretched out his arms, trembling slightly in the moonlight as if bathing in divine light.
"Night is the best time to dance, what do you think, Lilith?" His tone was full of desire for killing, "Of course, it is also more suitable for sword dancing."
Lilith looked at Nerler's expression and clenched the sword in her hand.
……
Catherine sat at the long table in front of the dormitory window, quietly writing her Potions homework, occasionally stopping to think for a while, and then adding a few notes in another notebook that recorded her work arrangements.
For the princess who is pressed for time, this kind of multitasking learning method is already the norm. If Lilith sees this, she will make a fuss and say that she is a workaholic. Catherine couldn't help but smile when she thought of Lilith's mischievous expression.
"Snap!" A bloody hand suddenly pressed on Catherine's window in the dark!
Catherine was stunned for only a second, then she immediately pulled out a chair and stood up. Wind elements roared and gathered around her. In just a moment, a magic shield filled with cyclones condensed around Catherine, and the pages of the book made a rustling sound as they were turned.
The owner of the bloody hand was hiding in the darkness. Seeing Catherine's reaction in the bright room, he quickly moved his face closer.
"Hey, it's me, please open the window." Lilith came forward to explain with a shy face, "I forgot to leave the window open for myself, please let me pass."
Catherine:…
It was not until Lilith stepped on the gargoyle's arm, passed Catherine's window, and collapsed on the floor beside her bed that Catherine could see the wound on her arm clearly.
She was startled, grabbed the healing powder that was due for next week's Potions class next to the mortar, and sprinkled it on Lilith's wound as if it was free. "Who did you fight with again? Lucas? Daniel?"
Sometimes she felt that it was unreasonable for Lilith to say that she was a masochist at work. Compared to herself, Lilith was the one who didn't care about her life. She was always covered in scars after coming back from the Guardian training class. But today she was particularly scary.
"It's Neril." Lilith said uninterested.
Catherine stood up with anger in her eyes, "I'll go find them..."
"Ah? No, no." Lilith shook her head indifferently, her eyes carrying a strange look after a battle, "I didn't suffer any loss."
I have to admit that Neller is a good new sparring partner. After gradually becoming familiar with her companions' attack methods, Lilith was suddenly faced with a new opponent with a completely different style, which was very novel.
That’s right, it’s not just Nerel who is excited tonight, Lilith is too.
"Why don't you use healing magic on me?" Lilith felt the cool powder on her arm, with the scent of cedar from Catherine's body.
"This is my first time making healing powder, so the effect is unknown. I'll use you to test its efficacy." Catherine rolled her eyes at her and looked at her arm.
"I got hit on purpose..." Lilith explained because she was afraid she would worry.
"Did he hurt your brain?" Catherine just calmed down and became angry again. "I know Teacher Phoebe said that you have a good physique and you will recover quickly no matter what injury you suffer, but you can't do this, right?"
However, Lilith was even angrier than her, "I was just doing an experiment, ahhh, I get angry just thinking about it!!" She glared at the window.
Catherine looked in the direction where the gargoyle was. Because the gargoyle was too heavy, it made a thumping sound when it walked on the floor of the room. In order not to disturb the students downstairs, Lilith never let it into the room. At this moment, it was still hovering by the window. When it saw the two people looking at it, it tilted its head and uttered a "Gulu?"
"How dare you bark!" Lilith got even angrier when she saw its innocent look! "You're so strong, but you can't hit me? You really can't believe a word of the legend. You're just a big fool!"
The gargoyle usually seems very cooperative, but when Lilith gave it an attack order today, it was completely indifferent. When she and Nerel were confronting each other in the dark, this guy just watched from the side, even though it could obviously blow Nerel's head off with one slap!
Lilith had originally imagined that maybe this guy would not take the initiative to attack, but would only passively defend? So she deliberately took a knife to see how the gargoyle would react, but...it still did not move!
"Didn't you say before that it was great and could crush walnuts..." Catherine looked at the excited Lilith and forgot that she had just criticized her.
"Who knew it could only crack walnuts!" Lilith was so angry that she pounded the floor. "How could this guy be a holy war hero? From today on, I won't believe a single word in the unofficial history!"
"...It can also help you get around." Goletia Academy is too big. Ever since the gargoyle appeared, Lilith has to rely on it to rush back to the dormitory at night.
"Which side are you on?" Lilith glared at the lawful neutral Catherine. She was so angry that she wanted to stand up, and the powder on her arm fell down.
"It's on your side, of course it's on your side!" Catherine quickly pushed her back.
Lilith then pouted and sat back obediently, deciding to be generous and not argue with Catherine, but after thinking about it, she asked another question -
"Who is the Dark Moon Goddess? Is she a relative of the God of Light?"
