CHAPTER 129: AMBER PARKER

Carlotta’s courage is indeed great.

After using the Illusion Mask to present herself as a stranger girl, she issued a challenge to the person called the General Soul Reaper. However, Carlotta reduced the challenge tokens to 3, as she knew she would lose, there was no need to waste too many tokens.

As long as she could break free from the confinement of the General Soul Reaper and Vanessa, losing 3 tokens would be enough for her to escape this awkward situation.

It is worth mentioning that these tokens have already been counted towards her ranking. Even if she gave the tokens to Amelia to carry, it would be useless. She didn’t know what criteria Sky Island used for judgment. Anyway, she had just finished hunting monsters not long ago, and even if Amelia picked up the tokens dropped by the monsters, the number of tokens would still be counted towards her ranking.

This was something that even Amelia didn’t quite understand. The rules were somewhat different from before. Perhaps, after several Sky Rankings, Sky Island had also optimized the rules.

The two of them were judged as one entity.

"Be careful, surrender quickly, don’t have any problems."

Amelia said to Carlotta very seriously.

If the opponent was truly the famous pirate general of Moonlight Sea, her strength would undoubtedly be terrifying. Let alone them being apprentices, even if they became Listeners, they would not be able to deal with such an existence.

Carlotta nodded.

As expected, her challenge was accepted by the General Soul Reaper. The next moment, a teleportation force permeated her entire body, and then she disappeared from her original spot.

Carlotta only felt her vision blurred, and the familiar arena scene reappeared. On the other side of the arena, a figure appeared.

"I surrender."

Carlotta said decisively, while also sizing up the opponent.

It was a woman with long red hair, dressed in black, with an extraordinary demeanor, which perfectly matched Carlotta’s memory of the General Soul Reaper.

Her heart couldn’t help but tremble. It wasn’t a fake, but the real General Soul Reaper who had arrived at Sky Island.

Since the General Soul Reaper had come, had the other pirate generals among the Ten Great Pirate Generals also come?

Carlotta immediately felt immense pressure. The internal area of Sky Island was truly fraught with danger.

Then her figure disappeared from her original spot.

The General Soul Reaper on the opposite side, upon hearing the news of her victory, her expression changed slightly.

"What an interesting person."

Seeing Carlotta’s figure disappear, the General Soul Reaper couldn’t help but smile slightly.

In the jungle, Carlotta’s figure reappeared.

Seeing this, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "How was it? Was that person really the General Soul Reaper?"

"It was the General Soul Reaper herself. I don’t know how many pirates from Moonlight Sea have come."

Carlotta said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Amelia immediately took out her Illusion Mask and put it on. No matter what, it was better to disguise herself first.

Carlotta looked at her ranking.

After losing 3 tokens, she dropped to a lower rank as expected, escaping the awkward interval she was in.

Rank 653: Hank Bush, 46.

Rank 654: Moon, 45.

Rank 655: Vic, 44.

At this moment, the two adjacent people were all people ranked with real names... It was hard to say if they were real names or not, perhaps they were using fake names?

In any case, Carlotta and Amelia didn’t know these two people. Carlotta thought for a moment and immediately chose to challenge Vic, who was ranked 655th, and presented her own tier.

The next moment, the opponent agreed to her challenge.

...

In the arena.

Carlotta’s figure appeared, and then she looked towards the opposite side.

A lady appears on the opposite side, wearing a black dress and glasses, with an elegant posture. At this moment, she was also looking at Carlotta with a strange gaze.

"Tier 9 Apprentice, challenging actively?"

Vic was clearly surprised, wondering why this apprentice was so bold.

"Sister, what tier are you?"

Carlotta asked with a smile, not acting rashly.

Before a person made a move, she couldn’t determine their tier, so she had to be cautious when necessary.

Vic smiled and said, "I am a Listener, even if it’s an early tier. Little sister, the internal area of Sky Island is not a place for you. Go back to the external area honestly."

As she spoke, Vic suddenly waved her hand, and then Carlotta sensed that everything above and below had turned into darkness. Apart from the darkness, she could perceive nothing else.

"Darkness Magic?"

Carlotta mused.

Then she made her move. Elven Sunset was directly unleashed, evolving into a setting sun, forcefully shattering the dark space, and making the arena scene reappear.

Such a response made Vic reveal surprise.

Was this an attack that a Tier 9 Apprentice could display?

"Whoosh!"

After breaking through the darkness, Carlotta rushed forward, like a gust of wind, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly approaching Vic.

This makes Vic’s expression change greatly. She could hardly believe the speed Carlotta erupted with, so fast that she could barely see.

She cast a spell and pointed at herself. A vibrant Rose of Light immediately appeared, and then black chains flew out from the rose, spreading outwards, seemingly to capture all life forms around.

But such an attack couldn’t touch Carlotta!

Carlotta’s speed was truly too fast, erratic and unpredictable, and she quickly arrived behind Vic. The Rose Cross, gleaming with sharpness, rapidly approaching.

Darkness Leap!

Vic flickered, and then disappeared into the dark shadow illuminated by the Rose of Light, vanishing without a trace.

Carlotta’s sword missed, and she calmly used Elven Elergy. A melodious and desolate singing voice, faintly emerging in the arena.

Before long, Vic couldn’t help but cry out, and her entire body uncontrollably emerged from the darkness.

Carlotta’s speed was very fast. With a flash, she immediately placed the Rose Cross in her hand on Vic’s neck.

"I surrender, I surrender!"

Vic was startled when she saw Carlotta rushing towards her, and quickly shouted.

When Carlotta placed her sword by her neck, her figure also quickly disappeared from her original spot.

"Done."

Carlotta was quite satisfied with this outcome. Then, with a teleportation, she returned to the jungle, to Amelia’s side.

As soon as she appeared, Carlotta’s expression changed, because she saw that besides Amelia, there were many other people, and those people had already surrounded her and Amelia.

"What’s going on?"

Carlotta quickly asked.

Carlotta never expected that after returning from the Sky Arena, this would be the scene she saw.

The people surrounding them also didn’t expect that as soon as the encirclement was formed, someone would suddenly appear out of thin air. For a moment, all eyes fell on Carlotta.

Amelia whispered, "I don’t know what’s going on. These people surrounded me as soon as they appeared, and we didn’t have time to communicate."

Carlotta understood and scanned the surroundings, asking, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

There were about a dozen people around, led by a lady in a purple dress.

This lady looked very cold, with a sword at her waist, and said faintly, "I am Amber Parker, the commander of the Avalon City garrison of the Brandon Kingdom."

Carlotta and Amelia couldn’t help but exchange glances.

Amelia whispered, "The Brandon Kingdom does have this city."

As for whether the commander of this city was the person in front of them, Amelia didn’t know.

Amber Parker continued, "Not long ago, I sent my subordinates to search for the locations of nearby monsters to gather information for me, but one team was wiped out. We followed the clues at the location where that team was wiped out, and finally found you."

Her tone was icy, and her eyes were unfriendly, as if she were saying that Carlotta and Amelia were the murderers.

Carlotta said, "We haven’t fought anyone since entering the inner area."

She made it very clear that neither of them was the murderer.

"Then why do the traces point to you?"

Amber asked.

Carlotta roughly knew who Amber was talking about and said, "The people you’re talking about were probably the ones killed by the Earth Tortoise. We did pass by there and saw some dead people, but they were killed by the Earth Tortoise, and it has nothing to do with us."

Amber said, "This is just your one-sided story. Who knows if that’s the truth?"

Carlotta frowned, "Then what do you want? If I tell the truth, you don’t believe me, aren’t you just determined that we are the murderers?"

Amber’s expression was very indifferent, "I told you, I am the commander of the garrison. I have seen too many criminals. These guys never speak honestly. Only after enduring enough whips will they tell the truth."

Carlotta and Amelia’s faces sank.

What did the other party’s words mean? Did they want to arrest them and interrogate them with whips?

Amber really thought so.

"Seize them."

She gave the order.

The dozen or so people around immediately moved. As their magic began to surge, Carlotta and Amelia’s expressions changed, because all these people were actually early tier Listeners!

Then what rank would Amber herself be? Middle tier Listener? Or peak tier Listener?

Carlotta felt a sense of crisis and didn’t hesitate to pick Amelia up in a princess carry.

Amelia also cooperated very well, wrapping her arms around Carlotta’s neck, allowing Carlotta to hold her more easily.

The next moment, Carlotta used the Speed Card and rushed out at an astonishing speed.

Amber’s people had already formed an encirclement, but Carlotta came to the front of one person, leaped up, and jumped over his head, quickly disappearing into the jungle.

"Chase quickly!"

This scene made Amber’s face show surprise. She never expected Carlotta to display such speed.

And as Carlotta’s mana permeated, she also sensed Carlotta’s rank. The other party was clearly just a ninth-tier apprentice!

Could a ninth-tier apprentice, plus another person, really harm her subordinates?

Amber thought about it, then quickly pursued.

Because in that place, there were still many traces of battle, and the monsters there, the Earth Tortoises, were suspected to have been killed. It was likely done by these two girls, and these two girls were definitely worth paying attention to.

Amber personally pursued, quickly weaving through the forest, but she sensed that Carlotta’s figure was getting farther and farther away. The other party’s speed made her heart pound.

"She seemed to have used a card before, that should be the Speed Card, but can the Speed Card bring such speed? Unless... it’s infused with a Wind God Stone."

Amber quickly figured out the reason.

The Wind God Stone was a good thing that only existed on Sky Island, with many miraculous uses. She didn’t expect this person to be so lucky to obtain a Wind God Stone and successfully make a Speed Card.

"Commander Parker, we might not be able to catch up."

Someone beside Amber said.

Amber could see this. Carlotta was weaving through the dense jungle, getting farther and farther away.

Amber immediately drew the sword at her waist. As she swung her sword forward, a crescent-shaped sword aura whistled out, cutting through all the obstacles such as trees along the way.

Without the interference of obstacles, their pursuit speed increased significantly, but this required Amber to continuously cut down the obstacles in front of them.

The sword aura only dealt with the obstacles in front of Amber and the others, and did not help Carlotta clear the obstacles. Carlotta would more or less be affected by the obstacles, thus reducing her speed.

She looked back and was startled, "Resonator?"

Releasing sword aura from the body was a skill that Listeners could not achieve. This was the skill of a Resonator.

"Not a Resonator."

Amelia corrected, "She currently seems to be a peak tier Listener. She is likely using sword aura Knight Skill, a knight skill that allows one to unleash sword aura in advance."

Carlotta understood.

But even if the other party was not a Resonator, the rank of a peak tier Listener was enough to cause a headache.

Carlotta immediately rushed out of the dense forest and chose to sprint in a more spacious terrain. When neither side faced obstacles, she believed that the people behind her would not be able to catch up.

The earth was vast, and the green grass was like waves.

Carlotta arrived at a hillside and quickly ran up with Amelia in her arms. Amelia, in turn, used memory magic to construct round rocks and placed them on the hillside. Finally, they rolled down one by one, obstructing the pursuers behind them.

Even though these rolling stones were shattered, they still affected Amber and the others’ progress speed, and the distance between the two sides widened increasingly.

This made Amber’s expression very displeased, but no matter how unwilling she was, she could only watch two leave.

"Do you really think you can escape? I will find you."

Amber muttered to herself, coldness flashing in her eyes.
