Chapter 58: ‘Surprise’ ending
No matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem like this would be a fight.
After all, it was a porter versus two C Rankers.
This seemed like it would end in a one sided slaughter…
Because of that, the Ice Princess couldn't bear to look at first…but then she still opened her eyes since she knew that it was because of her that this porter was in this situation in the first place.
No matter what happened, she would see this through to the end with her own two eyes.
But the result wasn't what she had thought it would be…
The two C Rankers easily moved to both sides of Lin Fan with their superior speed and skill. Once they were on his side, they moved from different directions to attack both of his sides.
Even one of them was able to easily take him down when it came to the difference in physiques, so the two of them acting this way was almost considered overkill.
But right before one of them could reach Lin Fan, he suddenly stumbled.
The C Ranker knitted his brows as he stumbled, but he quickly forced himself to stand firm with his other foot.
It was just too bad that Lin Fan didn't miss this opportunity.
As if by magic, Lin Fan suddenly started moving faster and at the same time, there was a green glow that appeared around the sword that he was holding.
The moment that the Ice Princess saw this, she couldn't help saying, "That sword!"
Just based on that green glow, she was able to recognize the sword that Lin Fan used right away.
After all, she had been fighting against the one who had owned this sword previously.
It was the Orc King's sword, the magic weapon that the Orc King used previously.
The C Ranker wasn't able to react in time to this sudden increase in speed and was completely caught off guard. Lin Fan suddenly made his way into the C Ranker's space and in one swift swing, he cut the C Ranker.
Then there was only a single C Ranker left.
This C Ranker had seen everything that Lin Fan had done, so he didn't dare act too rashly.
Instead of charging right at him, this C Ranker created several balls of light in the air.
These balls of light released the aura of magic as they floated there in the air.
The Ice Princess was surprised by this since she knew that this person wasn't just a swordsman, but rather a magic swordsman.
As far as she could remember, she didn't remember there being a magic swordsman among the group that she had chosen.
It seemed that the enemies had hidden themselves much better than she had thought.
She wanted to say something to Lin Fan to warn him off the approaching magic missiles, but she wasn't able to gather the strength to raise her voice. It seemed that the poison was still heavily affecting her body.
But even without her warning, Lin Fan was able to suddenly charge at the other C Ranker.
Since he had turned, she was able to see his face this time.
When he suddenly sped up, she could have sworn that she had seen his mouth move.
Then when he approached the C Ranker, his lips moved once more.
After his lips moved, the C Ranker knitted his brows just like the other C Ranker had done before stumbling a bit. He didn't fall over, but it was clear that he had been affected by something with the way that his body wavered.
The magic missiles that had been gathered in the air also shook when the C Ranker shook. Then after that, they suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Fan suddenly came forward and once again ignited the green glow of the sword.
With one slash, he cut the C Ranker across the chest and the C Ranker fell like the other C Ranker.
When it was over, Lin Fan stood over the two of them with blood dripping down his sword.
The Ice Princess just looked at Lin Fan with a look of shock on her face, but at the same time, there was a trace of doubt in her eyes.
Lin Fan flicked his blade to get the blood off before turning to walk back to the Ice Princess. But when he came close, he could see the look of distrust in her eyes, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"
The Ice Princess narrowed her eyes to look at Lin Fan before asking, "Just who are you?"
Lin Fan revealed a confused look as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The Ice Princess looked at the two C Rankers lying on the ground and asked, "Do you really expect me to believe that you're just a normal porter after everything that you've done?"
Lin Fan revealed an awkward smile when he heard this, but he simply explained, "Well…I know that it's a bit hard to believe, but I really am just a normal porter."
The Ice Princess narrowed her eyes again to look at him, but her eyes relaxed soon after as she said with a sigh, "Alright, I guess that you have your circumstances. But you have to tell me what they are after we head back."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes a bit, but he still gave a nod in the end.
The Ice Princess wouldn't have believed him if not for the sincerity that he had shown in his eyes.
She could tell that he didn't have any ill intent towards her and in fact had admiration for her…It was almost a bit too much that she was actually a bit embarrassed about it.
She couldn't help thinking to herself, "Does he like me?"
Lin Fan didn't notice all of this as he came forward to help her up again before saying, "We should head back now."
But the Ice Princess said, "No."
