A flash of sword light appears.

  Looking at the silver light all over the sky, Elate was also secretly sighing in his heart. When he heard Eris' cry for help, he had already planned to retreat, after all, it was just that he couldn't bear to lose face before. But unexpectedly, the opponent was so ferocious, this desperate and fierce posture made Elate speechless. He really wanted to tell his daughter, it's not that he didn't want to stop, but if he stopped, he would definitely die!!

  However, as a secret knight, Elyte, who possesses master-level swordsmanship, naturally wouldn't be caught off guard. As he faced the countless sword lights filling the sky, he gritted his teeth and suddenly jumped back like a sheet of paper blown by the wind. At the same time, the longsword in his hand drew a Z-shaped arc in the air, as if a fish trying to escape a fishing net, quickly sliding backwards, jumping out from among the starry sword lights.

  However, his speed was fast, and Zhan's speed was not enough. Just as the dark red sword tip was about to break through the net, he saw the silver-white sword light that followed closely behind, like a blooming flower, suddenly swelling up, and then the sparkling lights quickly condensed and transformed into a dazzling and fierce sword tip that whizzed forward. Every time a point of silver light condensed, the sword tip became faster by one degree. And when the originally sprawling silver light was completely condensed into one moment, the speed had already become so fast that it was impossible to look straight at it. In an instant, Zhan's long sword had traversed a vast distance and stabbed straight into Elate's chest.

  No good!!!!!

  Elyte's face turned pale as he saw the unavoidable attack, despite having cast protective spells on his blade and weapon. He didn't want to test whether his defensive magic could withstand this powerful magical artifact. Elyte was a ruthless character, and seeing the situation turn dire, he made a swift decision. With a sudden movement, he plunged his longsword downwards before swiftly lifting it up, and in the next instant, the sword flew out of his hand, shooting upwards with a burst of speed.

  "Clang………"

  A dull thud suddenly rang out, causing Elate's heart to tremble with fear. Fortunately, however, Jann did not pursue again this time. After blocking the long sword thrown by Elate, he stopped in his tracks, lowered the long sword in his hand, and gazed at Elate with a smile that was not quite a smile.

  "Ah..."

  Seeing this scene, Elise also put down her heart and let out a long breath. But soon she raised her head again, with a complex mood looking at Jain's figure. This underground castle owner was a powerful spellcaster, which Elise had already experienced. However, he actually possessed swordsmanship that was not inferior to her father's, no, it could even be said to be far superior to her father's, this point made Elise extremely surprised. After all, Jain usually dressed like a noble mage and never carried any weapons on him, completely unable to tell that he had any skill with swords.

  Alice didn't know the reason, but in fact, when Zane found out he couldn't benefit from system upgrades to learn magic, he immediately started practicing swordsmanship. After all, swordsmanship and magic are different; the latter requires a lot of magical support, while the former is more about specialized skills that can be mastered with practice. That's why Zane's swordsmanship far surpassed his magical abilities. Otherwise, as the son of the Demon King, he would have been killed off in the demon world long ago if he wasn't skilled enough.

  However, after arriving in the dark region and opening up the dungeon system's ability to cast spells, Zhan En never used swordsmanship again, but instead used magic to "swindle" more.

  It's no wonder, magic can kill people in one go, and Zhan En's Thunderbolt can take down at least a dozen people with just one strike. But wielding a long sword is so much trouble... being human is all about living life easily and happily, isn't it?

  As for Zhan's past, Elise and Elyte were of course unaware, but that didn't stop them from feeling the power of Zhan's swordsmanship. Especially Elyte, who was now gazing at the long sword he had thrown to the ground with a bitter smile - it was after all a high-level magical weapon. However, the magic glow on the sword had completely disappeared, and even the sword body made of refined gold had cracks on its surface. This weapon, which was rare even among high-level magical weapons, had become a pile of scrap metal in an instant. It could be seen that the opponent's hand held a genuine magical artifact, fortunately he reacted in time and chose to abandon his subordinate to save himself, otherwise he might have been in an even more precarious situation by now.

  Just as the two were marveling at Zhan's swordsmanship, they didn't know that Zhan was shaking his head in dismay. His own strength was indeed too weak, and this one sword would actually be dodged by the opponent. If it were his older brother, the opponent wouldn't even dare to move before the sword was even out of its scabbard, and most of the time could only stand there and wait for death. And as for him? As a majestic son of the Demon King, he couldn't even instantly kill this mixed-blood vampire... If his older brother, sister, or younger sister found out, his face would be completely lost.

  "Lord of the Castle!"

  At this moment, Elise finally came to her senses and rushed to Jean's side, grabbing his robe. At the same time, she looked at her father in the distance with a worried gaze. The girl was both ashamed and uneasy in her heart, after all, this was in front of her own father. As a result, Lord City actually did such a thing. She didn't know how her father would look at herself... Thinking of this, Elise thought of the dreams she had made before, and her face turned even redder. However, she also knew that now was not the time to be shy, and she had to force herself to speak up.

  "Father, Father is not intentional, please don't blame him......"

  Facing Elise's words, Zane didn't have any reaction. On the contrary, he lowered his long sword and remained silent, only listening to Elise's explanation without speaking a word.

  Alicia was clever and knew that Jan might not like her revealing his true identity to outsiders, so she sealed her mouth when introducing him to her father. If she dared to say a few more words, who knows what would happen? So she pretended to persuade Jan to stop, while secretly revealing Jan's identity information to her father. She believed that with her father's intelligence, he would definitely understand her meaning.

  At this moment, Elate's expression was indeed solemn. He wasn't a fool, and Elyse hadn't lowered her voice, indicating that half of what she said was actually meant for herself. At this point, he quickly noticed several suspicious points. Firstly, his daughter didn't seem to have been brainwashed or controlled as he had thought. From her behavior, everything seemed normal, and he could sense the familiar magical aura on her. This suggested that her powers hadn't been sealed, and judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be imprisoned either.

  But in this case, the daughter was unwilling to escape and even took two steps back when she attacked earlier, making it clear that she had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity to leave with her. The implication is very thought-provoking. This shows that Eris stayed voluntarily.

  So why did she volunteer to stay? Elyte didn't believe in any nonsense about love at first sight, and the man didn't have any special affection for Elise either. Elise was more afraid of him than anything else. This suggests that Elise thought the opponent's strength was very strong, so strong that even with her own father present, it would be difficult to get a good outcome... And in fact, Elise's judgment was also correct, as she couldn't even block his one sword without Elise around. If she had to take Elise and run away, she would probably have been beaten half to death... Not to mention the opponent still had a magic artifact...

  As he thought about it, Elyte's expression became increasingly solemn. He wasn't a fool, and Elise had more than once referred to the man as "Lord of the Castle". It was clear that she was subtly informing him of his identity. But... Lord of the Castle? The only castle around here was Brendenstone Castle. Was this man the master of Brendenstone Castle? That didn't add up. The ruler of Brendenstone Castle was Caddek, and there hadn't been any political upheaval in the upper echelons of Brendenstone Castle recently. So what did "Lord of the Castle" mean?

  Eliot's face changed several times, but he finally turned and left decisively. This young man was too strong, and with his magical equipment, Elise also had an unusual fear of him. It seemed that Eliot had hit a brick wall this time. However, fortunately, he had already learned about his daughter's whereabouts. For Eliot, although he couldn't bring Elise back, knowing that his daughter was safe meant that half of his goal had been achieved.

  As for Elate's departure, Zhan didn't say much. He had never intended to kill Elate in the first place. While there was indeed a reason related to Eris, the most important thing was to give Elate a warning, so that when he took over the Black Onyx Castle in the future, it would be more convenient for him.

  But anyway...

  "Alright, Elise, your father is gone, no need to cover up for him anymore."

  "Uh..................."

  When she heard this, Elise, who had just been speaking softly and begging, suddenly stopped and looked at Jan with an embarrassed face. Although she did mean that, but being directly refused by Jan also made her feel a bit awkward. However, soon she heard Jan speak up.

  "But since you dare to block me... then you must have already thought about the punishment you will receive?"

  "This is..."

  Upon hearing this, Elise hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. In any case, for the sake of her father, she had also steeled herself.

  "Alright."

  Seeing Elise nod, Zane's mouth corners slightly curved up.

  "Then take off your clothes and walk back to the dungeon from here."

  "Huh??"

  Upon hearing this, Elise was shocked and turned pale. What a joke! Due to Jain's "hollow" requirement, she had worn this long robe! If she were to take it off, that would be... And although it was said that there were hardly any people around, what if someone came? Moreover... There was also the lord of the city...

  At this thought, Elise hastily lowered her head and blushed. In her memory, she seemed to vaguely recall a book she had read before, which recorded a similar scene...

  "What? Are you saying I should take a chain and tie it around you to lead you in?"

  "Hmm..."

  Facing Zhan En's words, Elise hesitated for a moment, and finally she blushed and nodded.

  "I understand... Lord of the Castle..."

  Elise reluctantly opened her mouth and said.
