The woman was losing ground. Blood trickled down the wound on virtual-novel.net arm and stained virtual-novel.net white dress. Regardless, virtual-novel.net fought on, unwilling to yield.
Is that Melany?
James stood in mid-air and watched the battle below.
The woman’s aura felt familiar.
Without the slightest hesitation, virtual-novel.net descended from the sky and landed steadily on the ground, yelling, “Stop right there!’
His voice boomed.
Hearing this, Melany and virtual-novel.net opponent turned to look at James. When virtual-novel.net saw him, Melany was dumbfounded.
Isn’t that…
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net opponent stared at James, sensing his unusual aura, virtual-novel.net threatened, “This is none of your concern! Stay out of this!”
James paid no heed to virtual-novel.net and walked toward Melany.
The gorgeous woman before virtual-novel.net had fine and delicate features. However, virtual-novel.net was currently in a wretched state. Her arm was wounded, and virtual-novel.net dress was blood-stained.
Unsure of virtual-novel.net identity, James asked, “Melany Yanis?”
“Wh-Why are you here?” Melany immediately recognized James.
This was the man whom virtual-novel.net saved.
“It really is you…” Hearing the familiar voice, James was now certain that the woman before virtual-novel.net was Melany.
“You have a death wish!”
Swish!
The man behind them cursed and swung his sword, summoning a wave of Sword Energy that shredded through the air.
“Watch out!” Melany cried out.
However, James grabbed virtual-novel.net hand and dodged the Sword Energy with ease. Then, in the next instant, virtual-novel.net appeared a hundred meters away, put Melany down, and charged toward the man who ambushed them.
His speed was so extraordinary that no one could see his movements. In the blink of an eye, the man was struck and sent flying before collapsing heavily to the ground.
James walked over to virtual-novel.net and said, “Your token, please…”
The man was frustrated. However, faced with James, virtual-novel.net was powerless. So, virtual-novel.net obeyed his command. Upon seeing this, his comrades ditched virtual-novel.net behind and hurriedly fled.
Seeing this, James did not give chase. With the token in hand, virtual-novel.net walked toward Melany.
She looked at virtual-novel.net in surprise. “Y-Your injuries…”
She knew that James suffered grave injuries. However, virtual-novel.net was completely rejuvenated in a few short days. She also did not expect that James would be this powerful, defeating those who backed virtual-novel.net to a corner with ease.
James nodded and said, “They are almost recovered. Speaking of which, I owe you, a lot… My injuries wouldn’t have recovered this quickly if not for your care.”
“Why are you here at the Welkin Academy’s examination?” Melany asked.
James said smilingly, “Well, I came here in a hurry after learning that you are here as well. Besides, as I don’t have any place to go, I wanted to find a place to cultivate. As the Welkin Academy sounds like a pretty nice place, I came here for the examination.”
Then, virtual-novel.net glanced at Melany. Based on the battle a moment ago, virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was only around the Supernatural’s Seventh Inner Gate. She would not be able to join the Welkin Academy with such strength.
“Since you saved my life, I have to repay you in some way. Do you really want to join the Welkin Academy?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“Yes…” Melany nodded.
James promised her, “I’ll lend you a helping hand and escort you to the arena in the central region. However, I won’t be able to help you during the battle afterward.”
“Thank you.” Melany was thankful for James’ help.
