However, the brothers forgot that Clarice had just received her inheritance from their ancestor, Kuafu, and she was no longer the weak little girl she was before.
Clarice did not panic even when she had to face so many opponents. Her red lips slightly parted and she said the four words coldly. "Sword Pursued the Sun!"
Then, she drew out her long sword and swung it around lightly.
Buzz!
A powerful force distorted the air around the hall. Then, a dazzling sword shadow burst out from the longsword in Clarice's hand and swept toward the charging opponents!
"Ouch..."
"Argh..."
In the blink of an eye, everyone who dashed toward Clarice was enveloped by the sword shadow. They let out yelps of pain when the sword shadow cut them and blood dripped from their wounds.
Clarice was using Kuafu's technique called ‘Sword Pursued the Sun!’ However, she was kind and merciful to her opponents who were also people from the Raksasa Tribe. Otherwise, they would have died under her sword attack.
Hiss!
Onlookers gasped at the sight of Clarice’s powerful strike!
‘Is she... still the same Clarice we knew? She has become so powerful in just a few days! Was it because of the ancestral technique she inherited from Kuafu?’
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Clarice excitedly.
As expected from Clarice, she became so powerful after inheriting the ancestral technique from Kuafu.
Natalie was very fortunate that Clarice was the one who inherited the ancestral technique. Unlike the two Zaine brothers, Clarice was kind-hearted and she knew right from wrong. Natalie would have no chance of surviving if the two Zaine brothers inherited the technique.
Natalie reminded Clarice of Jack’s true colors. Jack craved power all his life, so why would he make her the Queen?
Clarice thought to herself. Then, she looked at Jack and said, "Godfather, don't lie to me. You’ve made terribles mistakes and committed treason. You should kneel before the Queen and ask for mercy. Perhaps, then you may have a chance to be pardoned."
Woody was anxious and angry. "Little Sister, you are not helping us, but harming us."
Things had turned ugly between their godfather and Natalie; there was no chance for redemption. Clarice was naive to think that they might be pardoned.
Jack did not want to waste time talking nonsense as he looked at Clarice with an angry smile. "Oh, you bloody girl. Do you really think that you can keep Natalie safe by yourself?"
Feeling Jack’s murderous gaze, Clarice bit her lip and did not respond.
Jack sneered and continued, "I know the ancestral technique you have inherited is very powerful, but you’ve only got it for one day and it has not fully integrated into your body. You’ll suffer a terrible backlash if you forcibly fight with the technique.”
