"I'm afraid you'll be afraid alone."
Talia's expression didn't change.
"Too……"
It was because Tata had been sleeping next to her that she was able to sleep more peacefully than ever before.
Hyperion didn't say anything else and instead asked Tata what he was going to eat later.
If she didn't say anything, Tata might continue to stay with her like this tonight.
Although it was a bit cunning to ask for excessive care from Tata, who had agreed to protect her in a temporary contract, this was Hyperion's rare little thought.
The two walked down the spiral staircase, the sound of their conversation accompanying them, until they reached the first floor and their figures merged into the aisle of the restaurant.
"When the rain stops, let's go to Ikerit College. Lanqi might be fighting against the ace of Alolan College right now."
Hyperion looked at the clock above the counter and suggested to Talia.
"What catches your eyes."
Talia answered automatically.
But after thinking about it, for some reason she was also a little curious about what Lanqi was doing now.
"But if you want to see it, let's go together."
Talia said instead.
"Haha, let's go arrest Lanky for his inappropriate moment."
Hyperion's laughter was relaxed and natural, while Talia, who was standing beside her, looked ahead calmly as they walked towards the counter together to order.
Neither of them noticed at all—
The figure of Phoenix sitting at the dining table that he was about to pass in the aisle.
"..."
Phoenix slowly raised the coffee cup in his hand to his lips, which was slightly cold.
at last.
The moment Hyperion and Talia walked by.
Phoenix sat quietly in his seat, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.
Under the table, a magic card emitting a brilliant pink glow appeared in his other hand.
As the lightning broke through the darkness outside the window, it instantly illuminated the faces of everyone in the house as if it were daytime.
Boom! !
The background music floating softly in the air in the restaurant was briefly covered by the rolling thunder outside the window.
And at the same time.
No one noticed that the music in the thunder had changed its tune.
The customers in the aisles and on the seats suddenly stopped all activities they were doing. Their faces were emotionless, their expressions were stiff, and their eyes were empty.
They suddenly stood up in unison, turned around, stomped their feet, and all looked at Hyperion!
Not only that thunder, Phoenix also took action.
He held the dagger tightly in his right hand, and before Hyperion could even turn around, he had already thrown it out with all his strength, enough to split the fourth-level Hyperion into two halves!
While Hyperion was in shock, a clear section was formed on the floor in the distance.
When the crack in the floor passed by Hyperion, it seemed to be blocked by a stronger force and disappeared completely.
The reason why Hyperion didn't seem to be injured was because she had a life-saving card.
This attack also killed the poet of great love, and she, who was only at the first level, disappeared in an instant.
Miss Duke, you can't escape today!
Phoenix's cold expression no longer concealed his murderous intent, and he stood up and approached Hyperion.
The civilians in the restaurant also rushed towards Hyperion with knives and forks like mechanical puppets, as if in a death attack.
Even now.
Lanci discovered the danger on Hyperion's side.
There was no time to arrive at the scene!
This battle will be over soon.
Next, Hyperion will engage in a life-and-death battle with Phoenix, who controls the civilians in the restaurant, from which there is no escape.
He would do whatever it takes to kill Hyperion as quickly as possible, or take her with him.
however.
A strange feeling lingered in Phoenix's heart, and a chill surged from his spine and spread throughout his body in an instant.
A pair of golden pupils stared at him, making him unable to move.
It seemed that he was the one who had truly turned into a puppet at this moment.
Someone seemed to be looking down on him.
Those were a pair of terrifying eyes that made him shiver all over.
The entire space in the restaurant seemed to have become pitch black, with only the pair of devil-like golden eyes being exceptionally clear, making him look particularly small.
Chapter 193 How could Lanqi's summons be so powerful?
Inside the restaurant, although time seemed to have stopped because of the confrontation, the heavy rain outside was still raging wildly.
Every time lightning flashed, it cast a bright blue-white light into the restaurant, making people's faces be baptized by this violent light and the deep darkness that followed.
Then, thunder roared like an angry beast, shaking the windows and doors of the restaurant violently and echoing in the empty room.
The storm swept across the entire street, and raindrops hit the windows, as if thousands of troops were eager to break into the restaurant. The rain flowed on the windows, sometimes blurring the scene outside the window. The world was isolated, and only they were left in this restaurant.
Hyperion didn't react at all, but instinctively felt a strong sense of crisis.
Phoenix, who was sitting at a table next to the aisle that Hyperion had just passed, moved very quickly.
The sharp edge sought the most vulnerable spot on Hyperion's neck; the dagger had almost taken her life twice.
But just as he was about to rush towards Hyperion, a heavy pressure locked him down, preventing him from moving forward even a single step.
This is not a physical restraint, but a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, a warning from the depths of hell.
He subconsciously followed the source of the crisis and his eyes met Talia's deep, cold golden eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to see the face of death.
In her eyes, besides indifference, there was more unpredictable anger.
Talia's movements seemed steady and slow, but in fact they were much faster than Phoenix's.
She gently hugged Hyperion and protected her to her side. Then, Talia's fingers grasped the tip of the male killer's sword and stopped his attack.
Phoenix could feel the oppressive force emanating from Talia. No matter how hard he gripped the hilt of the sword, the sword was fixed in mid-air and could not tremble at all.
What this means is that he and his opponent are not on the same level in terms of pure strength.
Why is Lanqi's Great Love Poet so strong? !
Phoenix could not understand how a summoned creature that just looked like a first-level creature could now become a terrifying existence like a great demon.
His heart was beating rapidly, sweat soaked his forehead, and the muscles all over his body were shaking wildly. The fear was beyond his experience in this life.
Suddenly, several curses seemed to come along the hilt of the sword, causing Phoenix's tendons and veins to feel extremely painful and become powerless, turning him into a nearly seriously ill and disabled person.
There is definitely something wrong with this great poet!!
Lanqi is even more problematic!
Phoenix's horrified eyes moved away from Talia and instantly scanned the entire restaurant, trying to find a way to escape.
However, he seemed to have difficulty taking even one step.
In front of Talia, his actions were no different from children's games.
Just as he was about to struggle, he felt a strong mental pressure rushing towards him. After a brief dizziness, he fell heavily to his knees.
The force was so great that he could hardly feel his own breathing, like a huge anvil pressing down on his calves.
Talia stood in front of him, just raising her index finger slightly, her face calm, but her eyes were enough to chill people to the bone.
For her, stopping this fifth-level killer was as effortless as slapping away a flying insect.
Phoenix had completely lost his former confidence at this moment. His face was pale and there was deep fear in his eyes.
The opponent's strength was far beyond his imagination. The gap was like the contrast between an ant and a giant.
"You think you can hurt her?"
Every word Talia uttered sounded like trash.
"You in the end..."
Just as Phoenix was about to say this, he felt a sharp pain in his throat, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any sound.
Then Talia used mental magic to make him completely unconscious.
The magical effect of the Great Guignol Theater was thus lifted.
Everyone in the restaurant looked confused and looked at each other, not knowing what had just happened and why everyone stood up.
"Hey, Ms. Tata, what happened just now?"
The salesgirl looked at Talia and Hyperion standing in the aisle as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"The thunder just now was so loud that it scared everyone."
Talia explained calmly.
The Phoenix on the ground was quickly dragged to the warehouse on the second floor by Talia's summons.
