“What? I’ve been discovered!” Yan Chong shuddered and became nervous.

Earlier in the jewelry store, when he faced Sophia, although she was very strong, just as the two women called her, she looked like a beautiful and wise rich young lady. Yan Chong did not feel any danger from her.

However, ever since she put on the Holy Ring (Sub Ring), Yan Chong had a feeling that she had changed. Her body did not change, but her soul seemed to have transformed into another person.

“What a terrifying ring. It seems to have controlled her. Or could it be that the ring itself causes one’s personality to change drastically and split into a second personality? That’s it. What will she do with me? Will she silence me?” Yan Chong’s mind was racing, but he spread out his hands and revealed a smile that he thought was harmless. He was about to say something.

But a dozen feet behind Sophia, the air shifted and a figure holding a child appeared. It was as if there was a person standing there in the first place. However, he had used some kind of magic to deceive the eyes, thus creating a scene from nothing. Golden hair fluttering in the wind, a resolute face, deep eyes, and a strong body stood upright in the ruins, looking very imposing.

“Brother Kane!”

That person was the blacksmith, Kane. There was not a single injury on his body, as if the explosion just now had no effect on him. He was still wearing the dirty white vest, and in his arms was a four or five-year-old girl—she was Kane’s daughter, Qiqi.

Qiqi was sleeping peacefully, seemingly hypnotized.

The words that Yan Chong was about to say were stuck in his throat. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and exhaled lightly. So, Sophia was not targeting him. It was just a false alarm.

Forget it. He was just a Class D weakling. How could he attract the attention of a Legendary? Even if she really wanted to silence him, she would probably just wave her hand and stomp her foot. It would be like stepping on an ant. To be honest, if a Legendary wanted to kill a Black Iron rank creature, it was no different from an ordinary person on Earth stepping on an ant.

Yan Chong was prepared. Once he saw that the situation was not right, he would immediately activate his Transcendent Space Traverse ability and escape back to Earth.

“However, Brother Kane only has a battle power of a Grade A-. He still has a daughter to take care of. He will probably be crushed by the Grade S+ Sophia. I hope the heavens will help the good. They are the first friends I have made since I came to this world.”

On the other side of the battlefield, Sophia turned around, her delicate face cold as she looked at Kane. “Kane Mode, I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time. Are you here to steal the Holy Ring as well?”

Kane waved his hand and said with a bitter smile, “Your Royal Highness, I’m just a commoner who suffered an undeserved catastrophe.”

Sophia raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You know who I am?”

“Yes, I was lucky to see you giving a speech in the square back in the Empire.” Kane wrapped one arm around Qiqi and gently pounded his chest with the other. He bowed slightly and made a knightly bow.

“Haha, do you think I’ll believe you? A person who could survive such a battle and live in seclusion in a small town on the Empire’s border?” Sophia revealed a mocking smile, then waved her hand coldly. “No matter who you are, it’s a pity that everyone who sees me today will die. Kill him!”

“Yes!” The two women beside him nodded, drew their swords, and ran towards Kane.

When Kane saw this, his face revealed a look of disbelief. Then, he flipped his right palm, and two palm-sized cards appeared in his hand. With a slight pinch of his fingers, a card with a black armor engraved on the front of the golden base turned into fragments and entered Qiqi’s body in his arms.

A layer of translucent black armor immediately appeared on Qiqi’s body. On the other hand, the card with various mysterious symbols engraved on the blue background directly entered Kane’s body. Then, Kane’s lips moved slightly, and his fingers made a complicated hand seal like a butterfly. A silver shield appeared in front of the two women.

With [Reading], Yan Chong understood the information of the two cards.

At this moment, Kane’s professional information had become:

Occupation: Card Master, Blacksmith, Elementalist (Remaining time: 59 minutes 58 seconds).

Bang! The woman at the front saw the sudden appearance of the silver shield and immediately slashed with her sword. However, due to the abnormally strong shield, not a single sword mark appeared on it.

On the contrary, due to the enormous impact, the woman’s high-speed movement came to an abrupt halt, and she almost fell off balance, causing the woman behind to collide with her.

When the two women attacked again and tried to bypass the shield to attack Kane, the solid shield followed his will and was extremely flexible, blocking the two women’s attacks.

For a moment, both sides were in a standoff. Neither could do anything to the other. In other words, it was the two women who couldn’t do anything to Kane, but Kane had no desire to initiate an attack. He simply defended passively.

“Hmph! Trash!” Sophia snorted in displeasure.

When the two women heard this, their bodies trembled, and then they lowered their heads, feeling extremely guilty.

“Just nice, let me see the changes brought to me by the Holy Ring. I can already feel that my strength has broken through to the Legendary rank, and it’s far more than that.” Sophia drew her sword and held it in her hand. The tip of the sword was pointed diagonally at the ground. A terrifying aura rose around her.

Instantly, the wind howled and the ground shook slightly. The scattered rocks on the ground seemed to have lost their gravity and floated up. The silver-white sword in his hand began to glow with a bright red light. Following that, it turned orange. The high temperature it emitted was visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding air began to distort.

And when the blade of the sword slowly turned bright white, Sophia raised the sword in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Kane’s expression changed drastically. He quickly took out a card with a golden base. The card was engraved with silver stripes. The pattern seemed to be able to suck one’s soul in. Yan Chong had just activated [Reading] when he reflexively closed his eyes and returned to normal.

Just as Kane crushed the card, Sophia swung the long sword as though she was slow but was actually fast. A huge bright white sword aura shone on the spot where Kane was standing like dawn.
