I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 556

Chapter 103: He Is Mine

Bari instantly realized the true purpose of the opponent.

No wonder Winter dared to team up with the Demon Race and the Cult; they had set an ambush right here, with the real target being Xue Nuo!

Once Xue Nuo was lost, the border nobles would have power in name only, collapsing into a pile of sand!

“Miss Xue Nuo, you go first; we’ll hold them off for you!”

Xue Nuo’s beautiful eyes widened, and she firmly said, “Impossible, I’ve already left Britney; I can’t…”

“Their target is you! If you die, all the sacrifices will be meaningless!” The usually gentle old count bellowed.

Xue Nuo’s heart sank, and she could only grit her teeth and retreat.

The old count shouted loudly, swinging his war hammer to knock over the charging undead cavalry, leading a group of Winter Iron Guards to form a shield wall, firmly blocking the onslaught of the undead.

However, the Silver Wolf hadn’t run far when a terrifying wave of extraordinary power erupted ahead, blocking Xue Nuo’s path.

Both humans and demons were thrown into the air by the chilling whirlwind; no one could take a step past that undead knight.

“Humans, none of you will escape.”

The undead knight raised his long sword, and in the next moment, cold light exploded.

Xue Nuo’s silver-haired eyes turned icy as she activated her Absolute Zero to counter.

Glaciers shot up to collide head-on with the pale strike, creating a massive vibration that stirred a snowstorm, throwing countless undead and humans alike into the air.

Moments later, the glacier collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The silver-haired Ice Wolf stood fiercely in front of the girl, his fur ruffled, while the silver-haired girl appeared calm on the surface, but her aura had drastically dropped. One of her arms was injured and hanging down, streaked with crimson, appearing somewhat forlorn.

On the other side, the undead general remained mounted, cloaked in ice, utterly unfazed.

Undead beings naturally resist ice-type extraordinary powers; Xue Nuo was all too aware of this.

But the wind from that earlier strike was enough to indicate the opponent’s prowess.

Xue Nuo’s gaze deepened, and she murmured, “Sequence 5…”

“Ha, it took me a hundred years to reach Sequence 5; I can’t measure up to you golden-blooded prodigies.” The undead general self-deprecatingly laughed but then revealed a sharp gaze: “However, talent won’t save you.”

The undead general pointed his sword at her, pale flames igniting in his eyes, chillingly declaring, “Xue Nuo Andvish, today is your day of death.”

The undead howled, raising their weapons as they surged from the snowy forest and emerged from beneath the snow. Pursuers also relentlessly approached from inside the Snow Wind Fortress.

Meanwhile, the old count roared as he led his soldiers to hold their ground. But they were besieged from all sides and at a numerical disadvantage.

The situation was grim.

Not only did the army have the upper hand, but she also had no confidence in defeating this demon powerhouse.

Realizing the harsh reality, Xue Nuo’s mindset plunged to the depths.

Death was not terrifying. As a member of the Andvish family guarding the border, she had long accepted the possibility of dying on the battlefield.

What truly concerned her was that beloved disciple.

But with Roy’s abilities, plus the Golden-Winged Griffin, retreating safely should not be hard.

As long as he was unharmed.

With that thought, Xue Nuo suppressed her softer feelings, looking resolute.

A resolve akin to a fierce wolf charging to its death.

Sensing her killing intent, the undead general’s expression slightly shifted as he raised his long sword, on high alert.

The snowstorm surged, and the ominous wind howled, darkening the sky.

But just as the two forces were about to peak, a flash of golden lightning swept in, releasing a beam of water light that knocked back the surrounding undead, standing protectively in front of the girl.

“Roy… why?”

“Didn’t I say I’d come help you right after taking care of the enemies?” The young boy smiled back, speaking so lightly.

“You…” Xue Nuo frowned, initially wanting to scold him for charging into danger, but realizing he had come for her, she felt warmth flooding her heart and couldn’t scold him at all.

However, the next words made Xue Nuo’s heart tremble.

“The target of these guys is Teacher Xue Nuo; please retreat for now; I’ll hold them off.”

“Nonsense! What can you do alone? Plus, how could I possibly leave you behind…”

“If we delay any longer, we’re both dead.”

Sorry, Teacher.

At this point, you can’t possibly misinterpret the enemy’s intentions.

But it’s not the time for lengthy discussions.

Ignoring Xue Nuo’s objections, Roy warned and kept a close eye on the opponent’s movements, “Little White!”

Understanding perfectly, the Silver Wolf picked up its master in its mouth and took off running.

“Protect Xue Nuo!”

The boy’s shout was more effective than any horn, and the old count and others immediately reacted, breaking off from the front lines to escort Xue Nuo to safety.

Seeing the horde of undead about to catch up, Roy mounted the griffin, blocking the rear of the troops, then activated his Purification with full force.

In an instant, holy water light transformed into a towering pillar.

The undead illuminated by the light were corroded, burned, and shrieked in agony.

A magnificent army was momentarily halted by just one person; no one dared to advance.

Until a fierce gust of sword wind came from afar, the Golden-Winged Griffin finally withdrew, interrupting the Purification.

But the border forces had used this opportunity to escape the battlefield, leaving the undead behind, safely crossing the ice field.

Never mind the army; at least Xue Nuo was safe.

Confirming the girl’s safety, Roy finally let out a small breath.

At that moment, a sinister mocking tone drifted from afar.

“Kid, I recognize your courage.”

“But what you’ve done is merely delay a bit of time; it’s meaningless.”

Roy carefully assessed the undead general before him.

Dismounting from the tall dead horse, cloaked in black armor, this undead’s appearance was quite similar to the Undead Knight he had faced before. Strictly speaking, they belonged to the same category of extraordinary beings, but this one radiated a more refined aura.

The fluctuation of Sequence 5 was far more substantial than that of the Undead Knight, like a river greatly outpacing a creek, vast and deep, exponentially stronger.

Sequence 5, truly unbeatable.

At this level, stepping into a high tier and obtaining divinity was but a step away. This was the pinnacle for mundane life forms.

However, having faced major demons, and even stood against blood-red dragons, the spawn of dark gods, and demons’ kings, what did a mere general have to fear?

As the griffin landed, the boy casually carved a line in the ice with his sword, saying indifferently, “As long as I’m standing here, you guys will never take a single step past this line.”

In that moment, the air fell silent, with only the snow wind blowing by.

That was nothing more than an ordinary line, one that would soon be buried by the snowstorm.

This person before him was merely Sequence 7, not even stepping into the mid-tier, at best comparable to a sergeant level.

Such arrogance couldn’t be called provocation; it was outright humiliation!

The undead soldiers glared at Roy, exploding in rage and shouting.

“Utterly arrogant!”

“General, let me tear this brat into pieces!”

But just then, the undead general slowly raised his hand, and with a single motion, he quelled the uproar of thousands.

“Stand down.”

“He is mine.”
