Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess!-Chapter 400 : Stu... Stupid!

Felyn saw a divine chain appear above Veronica's head, and a purple light instantly enveloped his body.
In a flash, Felyn felt his body become heavy, his movements turning extremely sluggish.
"Mr. Felyn, Miss Adelina, this is merely a sigil that will slow your movements. Rest assured, it will not cause any harm to your bodies."
Veronica continued to pull out sigils from her waist, pinching them in the palm of her hand.
"Similarly, what I hold in my hand is a hypnosis sigil. As long as I catch you, you will fall into a deep sleep." Veronica looked at Adelina, watching her cling tightly to Felyn's neck, her face flushed crimson.
"Miss Adelina, I will hand you over to your guards. You will be fine, but I must take Felyn away."
"In your dreams!"
Felyn held down Adelina, who was struggling to get out of his arms, still holding her tightly.
"Felyn..." Adelina's voice suddenly softened, her lips almost brushing against his ear as she exhaled warm breath. "Put me down. Otherwise, neither of us will be able to get away."
The purple light and shadow reflected on Felyn's face, the wind constantly toying with his bangs.
"Don't get down, Adelina."
The night wind swept up strands of her hair, brushing them past Felyn's nose.
"You'll bring me good luck."
Adelina's pupils widened slightly.
The sound of fireworks exploding overhead continued unabated, and the sounds of fighting nearby were also very noisy.
But at this moment, she could only hear Felyn's voice, only feel the warmth from his arms.
(What... what is he saying…)
She finally gave up struggling, pressing her face against his chest, her fingers quietly tightening their grip on his collar.
"Y-you actually still believe in such things. How could I possibly bring you good luck... What a... stupid."
But Adelina's voice held an unconcealable smile.
Felyn wasn't trying to say sweet things to win Adelina over at this moment.
His real intention was that by holding Adelina, their bodies would be in contact, and the probability of getting a good sigil from the "Shake-a-Shake" would definitely be much higher.
Then again, that did indeed mean Adelina would bring him good luck.
Felyn was currently a bit conflicted about whether to use the Shake-a-Shake.
On one hand, there were many people around, and it would be hard to avoid being discovered.
On the other hand, the last time he used the Shake-a-Shake in the dungeon and got a super-tier sigil, he had already attracted the attention of a god.
If he continued to use it now, Felyn couldn't imagine what would happen.
Just as Felyn was hesitating, he suddenly felt his body become lighter.
He looked down at Adelina and found that she felt the same way, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Felyn, someone has used a buff sigil on us," Adelina reminded him.
Speaking of buff sigils.
Felyn could only think of one person's name.
However, now was not the time for thanks.
Veronica was already close by, preparing to activate the hypnosis sigil in her hand.
"Adelina, do you know how the sigil in Veronica's hand is activated?"
"Mhm. This type of hypnosis sigil can be cast instantly, but its effect is very short, less than a second."
"If you don't touch someone within that second, the sigil's effect will fail."
Adelina wrapped her arms around Felyn's neck. She seemed to find it difficult to speak, but after a moment's hesitation, she said it anyway. "Felyn, even if it's only for a second, it's enough for Veronica. She's a well-trained knight. It will be very difficult for you to dodge her attack. You should put me down..."
Adelina was right. Based on visual observation alone, Felyn knew he absolutely couldn't evade Veronica's attack.
He didn't plan on putting Adelina down. If a crisis arose, holding Adelina would allow him to use the Shake-a-Shake in time.
And...
And he didn't need to observe Veronica's attack. He just needed to observe the divine chain.
The duration of the hypnosis sigil was very short. Veronica would definitely launch her attack at the same time she activated the sigil.
It was difficult for him to judge the knight's concealed attack, but he could see the bright, shining divine chain with perfect clarity.
Sure enough, just as Felyn had predicted.
Veronica in front of him clearly hadn't moved, but a divine chain suddenly appeared in her palm.
That was the sign of a sigil's activation.
Without hesitation, Felyn leaped backward, holding Adelina.
The moment the soles of his shoes left the ground, the air where he had been standing suddenly distorted.
A purple afterimage tore through space, and Veronica's palm appeared out of thin air like a phantom.
"Phew..."
Felyn let out a sigh of relief. Adelina, in his arms, subconsciously tightened her grip on his neck.
If he had been a split second slower, Felyn would have been hit.
Veronica clearly hadn't expected Felyn to see through her attack. In her memory, Felyn had never received any systematic training.
Again!
Just like before, Veronica had pushed her body to its limits. Her movements were even faster and more concealed than the last time, but Felyn still dodged her fist in advance.
Dodging twice made the disbelief in Veronica's eyes grow even stronger.
This is impossible!
Felyn suddenly noticed a pure white divine chain, one that had never appeared on the battlefield before, appear behind him. Then he saw a small crack appear in the space behind him.
"Miss Veronica, you look quite confused," he said, blocking the crack with his body so Veronica wouldn't notice.
"Felyn, how did you do it?"
Veronica was starting to doubt herself.
Was it even reasonable that her actions were being completely seen through by Felyn?
"Purely by instinct."
"Impossible." Veronica interrupted Felyn. "You dodge a split second early every time. That's a very difficult thing to do. No one in the Royal Capital Knights can dodge my attacks."
This time, Veronica prepared to use her full strength. She didn't believe Felyn could dodge again.
But Felyn wasn't going to give her that chance.
The space behind him suddenly tore open, and a slender figure stepped out from the rift.
Felyn threw himself to the ground, holding Adelina, to make space for the battle maiden behind him.
Short black-and-red hair danced wildly in the airflow. The heel of her shoe scraped against the air with a piercing shriek. Bernice's right foot swung through the air in an afterimage, kicking toward Veronica's face.
Veronica hastily raised her arms to block, but Bernice's kick still sent her sliding back several meters.
Before Veronica could stabilize herself, Bernice used the recoil from the kick to flip in mid-air, raising her sigil gun with both hands and smashing it down on Veronica!
"CLANG!!!"
Amidst the deafening sound of metal colliding, Veronica was forced to one knee by the blow, her knee cracking the ground.
She grabbed Bernice's gun barrel with one hand and used the leverage to headbutt Bernice's head.
Bernice tilted her head slightly to dodge, then kneed Veronica in the abdomen.
The two battle maidens were now locked in a fierce struggle, evenly matched.
This was Seiva, after all, territory of the Sivishus Empire. At the very least, they couldn't use offensive divine arts in front of everyone.
So Bernice could only use pure physical combat to fight Veronica at close range.
"Fe-Felyn, Miss Bernice, she..."
Adelina never expected that the innocent-looking junior who had just been calling him "Felyn-senpai" would now have a completely different aura.
Which one was the real her? Adelina was completely confused.
But she didn't have the extra time to figure it out right now.
Veronica and Bernice were locked in a struggle, and the knights were being held back by Silafiel's and Claude's guards.
Dorothy could no longer stop Felyn.
But would she just watch Felyn leave like this?
Of course not.
"Brother Felyn, where are you planning to run to?"
A pinkish-purple figure appeared in front of Adelina and Felyn, the smile on her lips sending a chill down one's spine.
