Chapter 257: Great Disturbance at the Longfang Council Garden

The sudden battle scared Old Kalomu out of his wits; he grabbed little Konrad beside him and dove into the corner of the hall.

Meanwhile, the noble candidate for councilor, Lord Buluokesi, upon seeing the evildoers appear, performed a nimble somersault and hid behind a row of counters in the hall.

His movements were swift and agile; he was truly a master who had refined the Druid path.

In just an instant, the Council Garden hall had turned into a battlefield. In the midst of the fray, the tall Vivian pulled out the great sword on her back with an excited face, only to discover... absolutely no one was paying attention to her!

The female elf had eyes only for the figure of Nie Yingying, who was darting up and down, and the guards, upon hearing the order, all charged toward the female blood clan member.

Vivian scratched her head in disappointment, then saw someone hiding behind a counter, sneakily pulling out an oak staff. The staff was wreathed in emerald green light; clearly, they were preparing to cast some spell.

"Hey! Are you planning a sneak attack? That's too despicable!"

Vivian's loud shout gave Buluokesi a start, and the emerald green light wreathed around his staff almost dissipated.

The angry Buluokesi was very angry.

"You... you are a friend of Miss Agasha, why help that vampire disrupt my attack plan?"

Buluokesi was unsure of Vivian's identity, but he habitually pinned a label on her first, while also proving that he was firmly standing on the side of Lady Sewiniya and providing combat assistance.

"Vampire? Sister Nie is my friend, of course I'll help her deal with you!"

Vivian happily found her reason and target for battle, her gilded greatsword carving out a crescent arc as she slashed down toward Buluokesi behind the counter.

"Boom!"

Wood chips flew everywhere; the century-old oak counter turned into a sky full of wooden splinters. Amidst the splashing debris, Buluokesi's body could vaguely be seen splitting straight down from the center of his brow.

Yet, there was neither blood nor internal organs at the cross-section, only wooden textures sizzling and smoking in the holy light.

A pillar five steps away suddenly twisted, and the real Buluokesi stumbled out.

How terrifying, he thought he was dead just now!

"Ho, you fellow actually have a few tricks up your sleeve! Even that guy doesn't know this move!"

Just as he thought he had escaped a disaster, Vivian laughed heartily and raised her greatsword to charge over again.

The gilded greatsword swung so fast it was smoking, and the dome of the Council Garden hall echoed with continuous roars. Twelve pillars trembled as their gold lacquer peeled off, bronze candelabras twisted and embedded themselves into the stone walls, and the carved wooden chairs of the office seats exploded into dust one after another—Vivian was like a golden wild boar that had broken its chains, leaving behind only a rain of holy light and wood fragments wherever she passed.

And Buluokesi, who was being chased by her, was having a miserable time. Having turned into a weasel, he could only hide and flee in panic within the hall; everything looked as if he were directing Vivian to carry out a demolition.

The master and servant, Konrad, hiding in the corner, saw this scene and were extremely disappointed. The Druid master they had always admired was actually so weak and cowardly. Although the spell to transform into a weasel was quite brilliant, it was too shameful to be chased and hacked by others after transforming.

The guards surrounding Nie Yingying had to divert manpower to protect the respected Lord Buluokesi, but under Nie Yingying's brute force, they retreated one after another, unable to even hinder her demolition progress.

But soon, guards arriving upon hearing the news gradually increased in the hall, especially when an old man wearing dark blue, old robes appeared, and the weasel Lord Buluokesi, who had been running for his life, couldn't help but call for help.

"Lord Kane, save me! This woman is crazy!"

Rumble!

The earth trembled, and a tall stone pillar rose from the hall floor, blocking Vivian's path forward.

"Clang~"

The greatsword collided with the stone pillar, and the deafening sound echoed under the hall dome; everyone couldn't help but cover their ears.

Vivian finally stopped her steps, and after scanning the whole scene, she immediately discovered the old 【Druid】 councilor who had made the move.

The old man wore dark blue old robes, had a short beard, and was barefoot. His body, carved like stone by a knife and axe, was covered in scars, but the old man's pair of eyes remained as firm as ever, as steady as the earth.

【Druid】! Purple profession entry! Moss for armor, tree rings for a crown—breathe with the storm, heartbeat with the rock strata! This is not a profession, but a faith! Nature is with me!

【Stone Heart】! Green entry! Listen, that beating is the contract between granite and magma!

【Ascetic】! Green entry! Pain is the most devout prayer! Only when you try to understand nature can you understand the greatness of nature!

【Tempered】! Green entry! The war song carved by the mountains on your spine! The sigh eroded by the stream in your chest! Nature has given you the most powerful physique!

【Unity of Knowledge and Action】! Green entry! Every land measured by footprints becomes a domain! Unwavering will is your most powerful weapon!

Except for the main profession being the purple 【Druid】, just like that cowardly ghost who turned into a weasel, all other entries were green entries, but Vivian felt a mountain-like pressure from the old man.

Nodding, Vivian, carrying her greatsword, grinned.

"Old man, you're quite strong! Let's have a fight!"

Councilor Kane was an ascetic. Although his position was the councilor responsible for combat in Longfang City, he himself was not keen on fighting.

"Favored one of the Holy Light! I did not feel your malice, I think..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, Vivian's golden greatsword had already slashed down straight, accompanied by her hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, old man, why waste words? Let's fight first!"

After Xiaosha and Axing left with Ling without saying hello, Vivian knew that everyone had tacitly agreed that she could do whatever she wanted here.

Such an opportunity was rare, and with Sister Nie here, she must have a good fight before she could stop her.

Vivian gave herself a thumbs up for her wit, and the whistling sound of the greatsword in her hand became three points sharper.

"Clang~"

Kane's arms showed translucent rock patterns as he blocked Vivian's golden greatsword.

"This might be a misunderstanding, this young lady might as well..."

"Haha, no misunderstanding!"

How could Vivian listen to the old man's reasoning? What if she got persuaded!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Vivian's greatsword danced, and no one else besides Kane could get close to her.

Truly, even Buddha has fire!

Kane's cultivation could not withstand such provocation, and he decided to subdue Vivian before speaking.

And Nie Yingying on the side saw Vivian repeatedly interrupting the other party's words, feeling happy in her heart.

The 'Dark Wings' behind her unfolded, her speed doubled again, and the blood shadows in her hands continued, beating the guards into a steady retreat!

"You're called Sewiniya, right! Let's have the second round!"

The blood-colored feather throwing knives, carrying glints of cold light, shot toward the female elf holding the emerald green flute!
