“Thanks to you, Livia.”
Before Livia could start overthinking, Lynn smiled and gently stroked her head.
“Wu…”
Even though Livia felt something was wrong, for now, she could only suppress that unease and doubt deep within her heart.
She could feel it; that guy wasn’t dead yet.
Regardless, she had to ensure Mr. Lynn’s safety first!
Thinking of this, Livia let out a long breath and looked at the Sage not far away.
Black blood continuously surged from his body, gradually manifesting into the shape of a spear in mid-air.
“It has been a long time since anyone has been able to shatter my Spear of Fate.”
The Sage’s calm voice carried a hint of madness.
“You… truly can give me surprises.”
With that, he waved his hand lightly, and the spear shot toward Lynn like an arrow from a bow.
Almost before anyone present could react, it was already about to pierce through Lynn.
However, just a moment before the Spear of Fate could impale him, its speed slowed down without warning, just like before.
After a moment, it even began to slowly retreat along the direction it came from, returning to the Sage’s side.
Seeing this, Lynn was stunned for a moment, then looked beside him as if suddenly realizing something.
It was Livia.
She held up her small hand, clenching her teeth.
A giant magic circle emerged in front of her palm, and bean-sized drops of cold sweat continuously flowed down her temples.
Although using her ability twice in such a short time was indeed a significant burden for her…
No matter what, she didn’t want Mr. Lynn to get hurt!
“A time-attribute witch?”
The Sage suddenly calmed down, his tone inevitably gaining a touch of gravity.
Perhaps because the power requirement was so high, even among witches, those who could awaken the ability to manipulate time and space were few and far between.
With his current strength, he could handle one.
But if he encountered two at once…
That would be a bit troublesome.
“Mr. Lynn!”
Livia had to put all her strength into every word she spoke.
“Livia will hold him back for you, so… I’m counting on you!”
Hearing this, Felica looked at the weak girl before her with disbelief, her heart momentarily stunned.
Felica knew very well that the stronger a witch’s ability, the greater the price they had to pay when releasing it.
Clearly, looking at Livia’s appearance, she was on the verge of her limit.
If she continued to push herself, once her foundations were damaged, Livia’s future in this life could be considered completely ruined.
If she were really just pretending to approach Lynn to spite her, she wouldn’t need to take such a risk.
In other words…
Livia’s feelings for Lynn were genuine.
Alarm bells immediately rang in Felica’s heart, and a sense of crisis gradually filled her mind.
Although she wasn’t sure what caused Livia’s sudden change of heart, one thing was clear.
She had to speed up her own progress.
She absolutely, positively would not just hand Lynn over to Livia like this!
“Don’t push yourself.”
Lynn looked at the pale Livia and couldn’t help but feel worried.
“I’m fine.”
Livia shook her head with a smile.
“If it’s to protect Mr. Lynn, Livia is willing to pay any price!”
Hearing this, Lynn smiled somewhat helplessly.
This girl was truly stubborn.
Therefore…
Lynn looked at the Sage nearby.
He had to finish this quickly.
The next moment, a loud dragon’s roar echoed in the sky once again.
A strong sense of crisis gradually rippled through the Sage’s heart.
He wanted to temporarily retreat, but he found that under Livia’s influence, his movements seemed to be infinitely slowed down.
Like a sitting duck, the Sage could only watch as three scorching fire dragons charged toward him with the force of a thousand tons.
Not even giving the Sage a chance to counterattack, in just a single encounter, the Sage’s projection was burned to ashes by the flames along with the final Spear of Fate.
After the flames dissipated and it was confirmed that the threat had been completely eliminated, Livia could no longer hold on.
She felt her vision go dark and was about to collapse onto the ground.
She slowly closed her eyes.
However, after a long while, Livia did not encounter the pain and coldness of the ground.
Instead, a reassuring warmth slowly enveloped her.
After a good while, Livia regained her senses.
She then realized she was being held in Mr. Lynn’s arms in a princess carry.
Although Livia had rehearsed this scene countless times in her fantasies, now that the moment had arrived, she felt inexplicably shy.
“M… Mr. Lynn, I’m fine now.”
Livia said in a small voice, blushing and pretending to be reserved.
“I see.”
Lynn nodded and then slowly placed her on the ground.
He thought Livia probably felt unsafe being held.
Lynn expressed great understanding of this.
If one’s feet weren’t on the ground, it was indeed difficult to feel at peace.
“????”
The moment her toes touched the ground, Livia’s mind went blank.
Looking at the blockhead Lynn in front of her, Livia suddenly became furious.
“Mr. Lynn is a big dummy!”
Livia said huffily, then crossed her arms and turned her head to the side to pout.
But then, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned around bashfully and asked Felica in a low voice, “Th… that, before I arrived, what did you and Mr. Lynn do?”
Hearing this, a wicked smile curled the corners of Felica’s mouth.
“Me? Naturally, I had some close contact with Mr. Lynn.”
Hearing this, Livia was momentarily stunned.
Scenes that only appeared in R-rated books continuously flashed through her mind.
Close contact?
How close?
Could it be…
Although Livia didn’t want to admit it.
But it really seemed like she had been snatched from again.
Judging by the scent on Mr. Lynn, Felica must have been in his arms.
That meant she likely wasn’t lying.
Damn it, dealing with that seductive vixen Sophie, whom she had to guard against at all times, was already enough.
Now, how could even her nemesis…
That position clearly belonged only to her!
“Sss…… Hooo—”
Livia let out a long breath.
Knowing she couldn’t win Mr. Lynn’s heart, she was thinking of forcing herself on him to get his body, right?
Fine, you’re very cunning, Felica.
Her anger gradually materialized, and the cloak on Livia’s body began to flutter even without wind.
Looking at the two women facing off against each other, Lynn only felt as if the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
