I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Chapter 272 - 272: Bonds Amidst Chaos

As the confrontation climaxed on the first floor, Elysia regained consciousness gradually in her granduncle's arms. Instinctively, she moved to protect herself from the pressure.

"Don't worry, little one," the old elf said with a kind smile. "We'll get you to safety soon. Just focus on recovering," he added, his caring voice soothing her tense nerves.

Confused, she scanned her surroundings,

Upon seeing the threatening projectiles, the werewolves tensed their muscles, their tough grey fur bristling to shield their bodies as their golden eyes warily fixed on the spinning dangers to decipher their trajectories.

Simultaneously, the vampires' red eyes glowed under the operation of their unique control over blood.

Scarlet red barriers rose before them while blood-red projectiles condensed to intercept the hostile arrows.

"Humph. Small fries," snicked Adam, amused by their reactions before encasing his constructs with threatening vibrating mana. Buzzing sounds echoed in the room briefly before he launched his attack.

Cleaving the air in their wake with appalling speed, the arrowheads collided with the shields, breaking them like glasses before accurately piercing the pale creatures' heads.

Meanwhile, pitiful whimpers reverberated as the werewolves used their agility to dodge. Alas, Adam was more than an arrogant mana conjurer. Predicting their reactions, he aimed for the heart, causing round holes to puncture their torsos. Heavily bleeding despite the missed targets, they soon perished, reluctance feeling their eyes.

Done on his side, he turned to the boy, noticing his victorious smile.

"I got eleven! I won!" Julius exclaimed, his fist raised in excitement. Even if it was just a game, he finally beat his big brother!

"What?! Are you sure you counted well?" Adam questioned, frowning in displeasure but smiling inwardly. "Urgh. I won't lose next time. Wait for me," he added, stomping his foot on the ground, fake anger contorting his features.

He knew how competitive Julius could be. By rigging the match, he wanted to thank the boy for helping. Thus, he decided to cast his pride aside, offering him what he wanted the most and hoping to make him happy.

"Hehehe. Seems like I'm the strongest in room 207 now!" Julius said, his lips curled into a taunting smile.

'Don't exaggerate!' Adam thought in response, his brows twitching before turning to read the shifting symbols.
