Chapter 640 225 - Heavenly Star Warrior And The Betrayal (Part 5)

"THE ANSWER IS THAT AN ANTIQUE LIKE YOU STANDS N THE WAY OF THE PROGRESS!"

The guardian of the Leo got over the shock but her first action wasn't to stand down or retreat, but a straight-up attack with the attribute assigned to the law she mastered.

*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

As her hair turned into a fiery mane, the blazing inferno became conjured and erupted from her feet, vomiting the devastating napalm-like attack upon the people down below.

"CAMELIA! DON'T...!"

"Yellow Star."

*&^%$#@#$)(^%$#@#$%()_$#*

The guardian of the Aquarius shouted, but his scream was interrupted by the furious low voice of the black-haired man who unleashed a counterattack while protectively hugging the wounded friend.

The Yellow Star was too strong – the napalm-like strike that should envelop the entire area of the destroyed necropolis got swept by the bright yellow light.

The stronger flame swallowed up the weaker one and annihilated it together with the woman who unleashed it.

"...Camelia...?"

Victor, the guardian of the Aquarius muttered, releasing the defensive wind shield that he pulled up in response to his comrade's frenzied attack, gasped in shock, staring into the empty air where the guardian of Leo was still only a second ago.

"Mister humble florist... you sure have guts saving people who are openly hostile to you, you know?"

"!!!"

Zoemi lowered his head and said without actually turning around – although he didn't move, Victor certainly twist his head so fast that he almost broke his neck just to look at the white-haired Heavenly Star Warrior.

And indeed, the black-haired man wasn't teasing or pulling some underhanded trick – William was still standing in the same place as before, but now he was holding an unconscious powder-pink-haired woman in his arms.

"...thank Guide..."

*thump*

Victor let out a relieved gas and slumped all the way down to the ground.

"I said that I want answers, how do you expect me to get them out of dead people?"

The white-haired marital artist scoffed at Zoemi before glaring at the guardian of the Aquarius.

"That progress little Camelia was shouting about... is it the same thing that his heavenly highness tried to coax me into a year ago?"

"...what else could it be...?"

William then proceed to ignore the black-haired man and ask the pale silver-haired man who bit his lips and looked away before answering.

"There's nothing more dangerous than children with great strength playing around with the forces they don't fully understand... You show up here, was it an order from his excellency?"

William frowned, closing his eyes and sighing with disappointment.

"No. His highness's advisor Theodor entrusted us with dealing with you the moment you will come in contact with the black-haired Aries's monster over there. I am willing to speak about it in more detail, but first, we need to treat Camelia's wounds."

Victor also shook his head, but despite his shrewd appearance, he turned cooperative while constantly glancing at his unconscious comrade in William's grasp.

"Aries's monster...? Hold on. I think that you are mistaken here, that person over there is a magician, I am quite convinced that the attacks we just saw were just cleverly-named spells meant to confuse... us..."

The white-haired man furrowed his brows and looked at the fox-faced man before glancing down at the wounded woman in his arms... and his eyes widened.

"Law of Virgo... huh...? There's no trace of mana poisoning...!"

William whispered and gasped in shock.

"What is the meaning of this?! You were a magician the last time we fought!"

The heavenly Star Warrior raised his voice and called at the annoyed black-haired man.

"I don't care for your misunderstanding, it's not like I wanted to trick you, we were just interrupted before I could explain anything. But since you already pay attention to me – why don't the two of you lend me some clothes."

Zoemi scoffed, smirking devilishly before shaking his head.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you both deaf? Strip."

The black-haired man raised his brow and demanded when his initial request was not fulfilled immediately.

"There's no need to get angry, young magi... young man. I will leave you and your companion clothes and even heal her up for you as long as you will not show any more aggressive actions."

William frowned and glanced at the two guardians before looking back at the black-haired man and changing his way of speaking into a more gentle one.

"Alan is a man, and you should hurry with the clothes because of you even glimpse at his body, I will gouge out your eyes and burn them to a crisp before forcing them down your throat. How about that? Peaceful enough?"

Zoemi spat to the side and scoffed.

​

"...I see you care about that companion of yours a lot, in that case, it would be best to hold back on the temper tantrums, young man."

"Said the man who declared plans for an invasion of my homeland right in my face after I dealt with his astral projections. You are helping people who were sent here and actively attempted to kill you and more importantly me and Alan. Take that high and mighty attitude and shove it up your hypocritical ass."

William breathed out and tried to take higher ground but was immediately knocked down by a mocking scoff from the pissed-off Zoemi.

"...declaring an invasion...?"

"...!"

The guardian of the Aquarius opened his eyes in shock and turned towards the Heavenly Star warrior in disbelief, which made the white-haired man flinch and avert his gaze.

"About the healing though..."

"Law of Libra, the law of Aries, and law of Virgo, law of Virgo."

William cleared his throat and tried to change the subject, but Zoemi simply used his star power to gain access to the law with the power of healing, shutting up the supposed humble florist.

Despite both William and Zoemi using the law of Virgo on the two conscious people, only the one in the black-haired man's care started getting better.

Despite what it might have appeared to be, it wasn't because Zoemi gained access to the star level that was higher than William's mastery.

Not at all.

"This looks very bad."

While still not giving the requested clothes to the black-haired man and his recovering companion, William bit his lips looking at the woman in his arms whose injuries remained exactly the same despite the star power he poured into them.
