Chapter 362: Thirty-seven Hewinia’s Snap_2

“I’m very similar to Daphne?”

“Yes,” Hardock nodded, then a glint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes before he spoke softly, “Our Treell Family, for so many years, has always been a vassal to the Hailuo Family, in name a noble, but in reality, a servant. No one wanted to change that, nor did they dare to change, except for my daughter, Daphne. It was she who noticed your difference, guessed your identity, and… proposed the plan to hunt you.”

“In that respect, you do indeed resemble Daphne. Both of you come from humble beginnings, and at one time, both were playthings for the young Miss of the Hailuo Family, yet you did not resign yourselves to fate and eventually did what ordinary people could not imagine. The only difference is that you succeeded, and Daphne failed. But thinking about it, we, who share the same traits, should not have been on opposing sides. If not for that pretense, I believe you and Daphne could have become real friends.”

Having said this, Hardock paused, then slowly raised his hand, reaching out to Hewinia, and at the same time, his originally sharp gaze gradually softened.

“Since we are the same kind of people, why not join forces? Join the Treell Family, become my daughter, let me be your father. Trust me, I will be a father more exceptional than anyone else, and the Treell Family will be your staunchest support. Let us play together… the Seven Notes·Divine Song.”

Hardock’s words were filled with sincerity.

Hewinia, looking at the hand extended to her, knew that if she responded, Hardock would indeed accept her as he had said.

She also believed that Hardock was telling the truth.

But she did not immediately make a choice, only saying, “But I killed Daphne, is that alright?”

“Daphne won’t mind,” Hardock did not lower his hand, “I lost a daughter, but gained a more excellent one. I think she would be pleased, especially at the moment we play the Seven Notes·Divine Song, that would be the best consolation for her.”

After Hardock finished speaking.

Hewinia remained silent for a long while.

Then, she laughed out loud.

It was as if she heard the funniest joke, causing her to cover her stomach and eventually laugh until tears came out.

Hardock’s hand still hovered in mid-air, but the gentleness and expectation in his eyes gradually faded with her laughter.

“It seems we can’t come to an agreement,” Hardock slowly lowered his hand, “Honestly, this is somewhat regrettable. You’ve made a very unwise choice.”

Hewinia’s laughter gradually ceased.

Although her behavior seemed exaggerated, her eyes betrayed little amusement.

Even so, she said with a touch of regret to Hardock, “No, actually, I would have liked to agree, but unfortunately, you’re too late. There’s someone who probably won’t allow me to have a new father.”

“Is that so,” Hardock said blandly, “it seems you trust the Hailuo Family more than our own.”

Hardock thought the “someone” Hewinia was referring to was the head of the Hailuo Family.

But Hewinia shook her head, speaking in a low voice, “No, it’s a… more troublesome individual.”

At the moment Hewinia’s voice fell, the Player to Hardock’s left had already made a move, immediately raising the Magic Wand and aiming at Hewinia, the Universal notes engraved on the wand lighting up one by one.

Of course, this was not a reckless action; it was at Hardock’s command.

Having been rejected by Hewinia, Hardock had lost what little patience he had left, not wanting to listen to Hewinia ramble on.

Since you do not wish to become my daughter,

Then go meet my daughter.

Hardock had been prepared, ready to take the Golden Score from under the Hailuo Family’s watch.

In this Array, carved out long ago, everything they did would remain unnoticed by outsiders, and since Hewinia had come alone, as long as they killed her here and disposed of her body in any corpse pit, no one would be able to find her.

Just like a year ago.

Watching the Player to her left target her, Hewinia did not dodge or choose to defend but also raised her Magic Wand, apparently intending to meet attack with attack, but she aimed at Hardock instead.

Faced with Hewinia’s aim, Hardock made no move, but the Player to his right stepped in front, starting to play a protective Chorus Magic.

Thus, three Magic Melodies began to converge, all reaching the completion stage simultaneously.

And everyone stood still, the inevitable magical clash about to happen.

But this made Hardock, who was behind the Shield, feel puzzled.

…What does Hewinia want to do?

Stand there and wait for death?

Hardock couldn’t figure it out.

Just before the third Magic Melody was completed, in the last second, he heard a crisp snap of fingers.

A snap of the fingers?

Although he didn’t know why, Hardock suddenly felt uneasy. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Almost at the same time, the two spells that were about to be completed on their side vanished into thin air.

Both Players were stunned.

…What just happened?

Before they could figure it out, Hewinia’s spell had been completed.

A sharp magic beam shot out from the tip of the magic wand, and in the narrow room, the Player standing in front of Hardock had no way to avoid it. The arm holding the wand was instantly pierced by the ray from palm to shoulder and, with unstoppable force, pointed directly at Hardock’s heart.

And it aimed straight for the heart!

Hardock was shocked.

Fortunately, he had been alert just now, and the notes on his wand were still dancing.

An abrupt Magic Cube emerged between him and that Player, bravely intercepting the beam and refracting it ninety degrees, ultimately piercing the wall on the other side without harming Hardock.

But even so, Hardock didn’t feel much relief in his heart.

He was still surprised.

Why did those two spells vanish out of the blue?

Hewinia had clearly done nothing, or at least he hadn’t seen anything.

Moreover, he had never heard of any magic melody capable of canceling two almost completed Third Notes spells at the same time.

What kind of power was that!?

A sinking feeling gripped Hardock’s heart.

It seemed Daphne’s failure wasn’t a coincidence; this person possessed something unknown to them.

“Ah ah ah ah!”

At this moment, the injured Player was still screaming.

Because the ray emitted by Hewinia was not one-off but continuous, the Player, skewered like a piece of grilled meat, could only escape the ray that had pierced through the entire arm by severing the limb completely.

Of course, Hardock wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. Daphne’s failure had already resulted in the demise of four experienced Players from the Treell Family; now these three were the last capable Players they could put forward, and he couldn’t afford to see even this bit of fighting capacity damaged.

So Hardock made a decisive move, casting aside restraint and probing, and began to operate the Third Note belonging to the exquisite Silver Rank.

Sharp thorns started growing from beneath Hewinia’s feet and above her head.

[Four Notes·Sharp Peak Hanging Thorns]!

And the other Player, also in perfect sync, released the Second Note Prisoner’s Prison on Hewinia, attempting to trap her in place.

Such coordination, they had executed many times before, with very few Players able to respond.

Like now, the moment the prison formed, the hanging thorns would pierce through Hewinia’s body. If she didn’t escape or counter-attack instantly, she could only…

“Snap.”

Another snap of the fingers.

The nearly formed prison turned to powder, the spikes above seemed to disintegrate into dust.

Two more spells were canceled once again.

Hardock’s eyes widened.

While Hewinia had already completed the preparation for a new spell, the concentrated beam suddenly swelled.

“Damn it!” Hardock wanted to save the Player, but it was already too late.

The beam exploded.

The Player’s arm, along with a good portion of their body, turned into a mist of blood.

An experienced Silver Rank Player fell just like that.
