Chapter 142: Disparity

"By the way, who is this?" Brenna looked at Lucy, who was standing beside Yun Mu, and asked.

"Her?" Upon hearing Brenna's words, Yun Mu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Tell her, this is your ancestor?

No, no, no, there's no way to say that no matter how you think about it!

Then say this is her summoned creature? But whose summoned creature possesses the same intelligence as a real person! Should she let Lucy act and pretend to be stupid? At first glance, it seems feasible, but if you think about it carefully, it feels unrealistic.

Not to mention the problems and troubles that acting might bring, Lucy had already been exposed in front of that Shadow Guard before meeting Brenna! Starting to act now, wouldn't it be a bit too late?

Just as Yun Mu was hesitating about this, Lucy suddenly stepped forward and greeted Brenna: "Hello, Princess of the Frost Kingdom."

"I am a Heroic Spirit who came in response to Miss Yun's contract summons; you may call me Lucy."

"A Heroic Spirit?" Brenna was slightly stunned.

She naturally knew about Heroic Spirits.

But this was a summoning spell with an extremely low success rate, which even depended on the compatibility between both parties.

Honestly, she had lived this long, and this was the first time she had seen a real Heroic Spirit appear before her.

"That's right, Miss Lucy was summoned by me through an ancient contract." Yun Mu suddenly thought of something and immediately 'explained' to Brenna.

She looked at Chester, who was always following by her side, and said: "I found this Treasure Chest in the depths of the sewer, and that contract was found inside its belly."

"There is actually such a thing?" Brenna looked somewhat surprised and said.

Encountering a Treasure Chest in the sewer was a bit absurd, but not entirely incomprehensible.

But to obtain an ancient contract inside a Treasure Chest, and even use this contract to summon a Heroic Spirit... "Ah, great Lady of the Dark Night," Huoerfu closed his eyes and prayed devoutly.

Noticing his actions, Brenna silently glanced at him.

She didn't really believe in the so-called talk of Fate and the like.

But she also had to admit.

In this world, behind many things, there is the power of gods pushing or guiding them.

That they could gather together at this moment might also be because some unknown power was acting as a pusher behind the scenes.

It's just that, if that god really noticed this place, why would they refuse to personally dispel the Scarlet? Brenna looked up at the sky; apart from the mist filling the sky that obscured the stars, she could see nothing else.

Perhaps gods also have their concerns, just like humans... "Hmph, boring." With a light hum, Brenna looked at everyone and said: "No time for idle chatter, let's continue moving forward."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Yun Mu and said: "I'll leave it to Miss Yun's Treasure Chest to lead the way."

"Gaba gaba gaba!" Before Yun Mu could speak, Chester at her side responded first.

"This guy..." Feeling the emotion transmitted from the contract, as if it had discovered a new wife, the corners of Yun Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hurry up and lead the way!"

She gave Chester a kick on the butt with a bang.

"Gaba gaba!"

After being kicked by Yun Mu, Chester ran off into the distance, feeling satisfied.

"Let's follow," Yun Mu said upon seeing this.

"That..." Meiyin at the side hesitated for a while, then still spoke up: "It would be better if Miss Yun didn't frequently use violence against your own summoned creature."

"I have heard of many summoners who were retaliated against by their summoned creatures after abusing them..."

"I didn't use force just now..." Hearing Meiyin's words, Yun Mu replied with a strange expression.

Could she say that this guy just liked this? It was just a kick to the butt; she used much more force than this when she stepped on its tongue.

But then again, does this Miss Meiyin also have similar habits? Yun Mu recalled what happened when the two first met, and suddenly had the urge to cover her face.

This habit of hers of feeling embarrassed for others probably wouldn't go away.

"Even if you didn't use force, it's still better to do this kind of thing less often, otherwise the summoned creature might be dissatisfied with you..." Meiyin had no idea what Yun Mu was thinking at this moment and still earnestly warned her.

Regarding this, Yun Mu could only indicate that she would listen. As for whether she would do it, that was another matter.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Frostfall City, East District, beside an abandoned factory.

"Haha..."

"This guy, so strong."

Lita gripped the hilt of her longsword with trembling hands; in front of her was Molike, who had completely transformed into a Bloodline Living Corpse.

"Roar!"

The Bloodline Living Corpse roared at the sky, and the terrifying sound wave caused Lita's consciousness to stall for a moment.

When she came back to her senses, she discovered that the opponent had already rushed in front of her!

Boom! The container behind Lita was struck, leaving a deep dent.

At this critical moment, she rolled to her side, dodging this fatal blow.

And after the roll ended, Lita immediately stood up, then held her longsword at her side in a Mid-level Stance.

Upward Slash! "Clang!"

The Bloodline Living Corpse's tough nails deflected Lita's attack, and then, with an incredible wriggle, it lifted its thick leg and kicked toward Lita's chest! "Not good!"

Lita didn't expect that the Bloodline Living Corpse's seemingly bloated body could perform such a flexible movement; in her haste, she could only immediately block with her longsword in front of her.

"Bang!!"

The enormous force traveled through the sword to her arms; facing a Bloodline Living Corpse that was one rank higher than her, Lita was completely unable to withstand this force and was kicked away instantly.

Her back hit the wall of the abandoned factory, emitting a hollow Echo.

"Cough, cough!"

There was no time to recover; Lita endured the discomfort in her chest and hurriedly dodged to the side!

The next second, the Pounce of the Bloodline Living Corpse slammed into the wall of the abandoned factory! "Hiss..." Looking at the huge scratch on the factory wall, Lita gasped.

If this strike were to land on her body—forcibly suppressing the lingering fear in her heart, Lita gripped her longsword once more, searching for the Bloodline Living Corpse's weakness.

"Hoo, Lita, don't be afraid, stay calm, you can do this."

Although that guy has great strength, is very fast, and its movements are quite agile, when it comes down to it, it is still a creature of flesh and blood.

As long as she hits a vital point, her longsword can also kill the opponent.

Moreover, the Bloodline Living Corpse is not like a human; it has almost no technique when fighting, acting entirely on instinct.

As long as she can seize the opponent's opening—"Howl!!" The Bloodline Living Corpse's Roar interrupted Lita's thoughts once again.

Fortunately, this time, perhaps because she had grown accustomed to this Howl, she did not lose her focus because of it.

The Bloodline Living Corpse sprinted rapidly, arriving in front of Lita in the blink of an eye.

"So fast!"

Lita's pupils contracted sharply, and then, she lowered her body, lunging forward while almost brushing against the opponent's sharp claws.

Swish! A bright silver sword light flashed past.

After landing the strike, Lita retreated at high speed.

And after she had put distance between them again, a huge scratch appeared on the chest of the Bloodline Living Corpse.
