Chapter 32 032 Cynthia Surdo 1

What were the side-effects of lying?

Pinocchio’s nose would grow longer.

Vera’s face would turn red.

Marquis Charles… Well, for a guy like Marquis Charles, lying was like eating and drinking.

Colin did not think he was as good an actor as Marquis Charles, but when he lied, it was hard for most people to tell.

However, this did not mean that there would be no consequences if he lied.

Well, now the consequences had arrived.

When he heard that the female knight’s surname was Surdo, Colin finally realized what happened.

No wonder she called him “Knight Kahn”.

Back then, to conceal his identity and sneak into the Firefox mercenary group, Colin had used Kahn Surdo as his fake name!

Now, the real Surdo had found the fake one.

“I think there might be a small misunderstanding…” Colin took half a step back, feeling a little guilty. “What misunderstanding?” Cynthia took a step forward and asked aggressively, “My good ‘younger brother’, I haven’t seen you for a few months, but you’ve changed quite a lot! I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Very well. So, this woman was Kahn Surdo’s elder sister.

At this time, the Black Knights went north and gathered a lot of scattered soldiers who were defeated at the front line.

The Surdo family’s Ice Rock City had long been occupied by trolls, and the family’s army had long been defeated.

So, it was not strange that Cynthia would appear here.

What was strange to Colin was how Cynthia knew that he had once pretended to be her brother.

There were only so many people who knew that he used a fake identity. Someone must have snitched on him!

For some reason, the first figure that appeared in Colin’s mind was Sal.

This filial son had always been at odds with him. Moreover, his thoughts were shady and he liked to stir up trouble.

Therefore, Colin felt that it was very likely that this fellow had incited Cynthia to mess with him.

“Miss Cynthia, please listen to my explanation…”

“Okay, go ahead.”

“Actually, the truth is like this… Hey, hey! Why are you drawing your sword?!” Colin was so scared that he kept retreating. “Didn’t you agree to let me explain?”

“Yes, you can explain, but I won’t listen.” Cynthia held her sword with both hands and assumed a charging posture. “Mother said that you should never trust a man who has deceived you!”

“What nonsense!” Colin was suspicious. This woman must be out of her mind. “Don’t come any closer! This is a military camp. Private duels are not allowed!”

“For the reputation of the Surdo family, I want to fight you! Draw your sword!” Cynthia threw down a white glove and shouted.

“I don’t accept!” Colin ignored the white glove on the ground.

He was at a loss—why did this woman insist on a duel before listening to his explanation? How bad was the enmity she had for him?

“Hehe, coward! I’ll count to three before I attack!”

Cynthia did not care about the military regulations that forbade private duels.

These things were used to restrain lower-level soldiers. For nobles, they did not have much effect.

“One!”

Cynthia’s voice was as hard as iron.

Cold sweat broke out on Colin’s forehead. His right hand could not help but grip the hilt of his sword.

He already understood that this woman was probably unreasonable.He was not afraid of battle.

Having faced the charge of nearly a thousand wolf cavalrymen, Colin was fearless enough to stand in the front row.

Now, there was only one woman. Of course, she would not be able to scare him.

Moreover, thanks to Archbishop Raven’s holy water, Colin had already advanced to a tier 2 knight.

At his age, a tier 2 knight was already a rather high level.

The crazy woman opposite him looked to be about the same age as him, so she should not be above this level either.

“Two!”

Cynthia reported the count again with a cold expression.

Colin took a deep breath and pulled out the longsword at his waist.

Then, he saw the female knight in front of him immediately turn into a golden bolt of lightning and rush toward him!

“F*ck! Didn’t we agree to count to three!”

Bang!

Colin only felt a huge force surging toward him. It was as if he had been hit by a tank, and his entire body was sent flying.

Heck!

This crazy woman was probably a tier 3 knight!

“God of Light, shine on the world!”

Cynthia was still mumbling prayers.

Coupled with the holy golden light that she was emitting, the scene looked somewhat comical.

However, Colin did not have the time to complain, because the woman slashed at him again.

Clang!

Colin managed to block it, but the huge impact made his hands numb. He was barely holding onto the sword.

“My heart is pure, and it’s cleansing evil!”

Cynthia’s pupils had become pure gold. Without a trace of human emotion, she was as stoic as a god.

Bang!

Colin was sent flying by a kick.

This time, he flew quite far and directly knocked over a nearby tent.

The soldiers in the tent ran out in a panic only to see Cynthia, whose entire body was emitting golden light.

Then, they put away the swords in their hands in tacit understanding and obediently hid at the sidelines to watch the battle.

The two knights were fighting, so the soldiers naturally did not dare to meddle in other people’s business.

“Pfft!”

Colin spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt that many of his ribs should have been broken, and the injuries that he had mostly recovered from before had also relapsed.

“Woman! Don’t go too far!”

Cynthia naturally did not take this threat seriously. She still resolutely raised her sword and charged over.

“Fearless, invincible!”

The woman’s unreasonable and arrogant attitude finally infuriated Colin.

“Ah!”

Colin let out a beast-like roar. A wave of indescribable anger and hatred surged from his memories and instantly dominated his will.

It was a will that did not belong to Colin, his predecessor, or even this world.

It was as if it came from an ancient abyss that crossed ten thousand years of time and space and suddenly descended.

Moonlight shone from behind Colin.

There… vaguely…it was as if a terrifying phantom had appeared.

It was revealing its bloodstained fangs as it extended its huge black wings.

A moment of astonishment appeared in Cynthia’s golden eyes. She thought that she was hallucinating and her charging momentum was interrupted.

Though very quickly, she gathered her thoughts again,

‘Resolute and pious, cut through the thorns…’

‘Cut through the t…!’

Colin roared and instantly erupted with unprecedented terrifying power as he stabbed out with his sword!

Clang!

A large hole appeared in the armor on Cynthia’s chest, and the scattered pieces of metal flew everywhere.

Fresh blood dyed her shirt red, and a few buttons on her chest were torn off, revealing a beautiful scenery.

However, Cynthia did not seem to notice it at all, nor was she scared by Colin’s extraordinary performance just now.

She calmly steadied her body and prayed again,

“Be firm and pious, and cut through thorns and thorns!”

Then, she charged again.

It was as if nothing could stop this woman.

At this moment, Colin did not have enough momentum.

The effect of that attack just now was terrifying, it actually allowed him to close their gap in power and suppress Cynthia. However, it also almost used up all of his strength.

Thus, facing the crazy woman who charged again, a vicious look flashed through Colin’s eyes.

He made a decision.

The longsword shone with a golden light as it stabbed toward Colin’s chest like lightning.

Colin did not dodge.

Tsk!

Cynthia watched as the longsword in her hand pierced through his chest, but her heart was filled with fear. Colin’s sword… was right at her throat.
