Looking at the charging beast swarm, Lia's cold eyes narrowed, and she swiftly moved her hands to form an array, spreading outward from the two of them as the center.
In the next moment, the dozens of charging magical beasts were directly suppressed and completely immobilized.
"Just as expected, Lia."
Seeing this, Blake couldn't help but praise. This is real Ancient Magic Arts. The moves are strange, and the array is powerful. As for him, he's only learned a bit of the basics. Ancient sensing techniques, cutting off energy pathways, plus clones.
Of course, these abilities were enough for him. Quality over quantity in abilities. Learning Ancient techniques requires immense perseverance and talent. It's not something ordinary people can master.
Although Blake was confident he could learn well, he didn't want to waste time on it. After all, starting from scratch, it would take at least four or five years to make any progress.
As for Lia, she was truly a monstrous talent. She reached High Class, stronger than many elders at just sixteen years old.
"Brother, stop talking. Rest properly."
When Blake praised her, Lia first smiled happily, then looked at his pale face with concern and spoke.
As for chasing the fleeing enemies, Lia was not interested. To her, nothing was more important than her brother, Blake.
Hearing this, Blake could only manage a forced smile. Though he wanted to chase Georg and Leonardo, he was powerless.
After continuously fighting the elites of the Silva family, the three elders, and the three Supreme elders, he had even used the Blue Sigil Crystal Eyes sealed Red Dragon Emperor's gauntlet and then using Excalibur to kill Supreme Elders and Ea to kill Cao Cao.
By now, he had no strength left, barely able to stand.
"Lia, tell me why the Silva family has turned out this way. Though this family is cold-blooded, they value bloodlines above all. There's no need to please Cao Cao."
Leaning his head comfortably on his precious younger sister's soft, white, tender lap, Blake enjoyed the pillow and calmly asked as if recalling something.
"Brother, the public rumors outside are only the shallowest part of it. There are deeper reasons behind it."
Lia gently stroked the handsome face of Blake, who lay on her lap, with her fair hand and spoke with a cold yet pleasant voice.
"I know. If there wasn't, I'd really suspect if those people's heads were burned out."
Hearing this, Blake was not surprised, just nodding, his eyes narrowing.
"Looks like Brother has picked up some bad habits outside."
Upon hearing this, Lia couldn't help but roll her eyes and lowered her head, pressing her finger against Blake's forehead as she helplessly said.
With Lia's lowered head, her full and firm chest almost pressed down on Blake's head.
"Well, that's how the world is. There's nothing that can be done."
Feeling his younger sister's firmness and the pleasant scent of her youthful fragrance, Blake suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart. However, he quickly turned his face away, as if changing the topic.
I'm not a sis-con. I'm not a sis-con...
Blake muttered in his mind, trying to hypnotize himself. He wouldn't admit that he had a reaction because of his sister's recent action!
"Just as you said, as an ancient clan, the Silva family wouldn't easily ally with Cao Cao, not to mention forcing me, the daughter of the leader."
Then, Lia explained with a composed expression. Her cold voice sounded quite pleasant.
"The reason it turned out this way is because Cao Cao revealed that he knows the whereabouts of the Longinus Class Sacred Gear [Holy Grail]. So a portion of the elders was swayed. Even the three Supreme elders, who had little time left to live, were moved. Because, as long as they obtain [Holy Grail], they would never have to die."
"This caused the family's higher-ups to split into two factions. One side, led by the Supreme elders, became the radical faction. The three elders agreed to ally with Cao Cao. The other three elders strongly opposed the family bloodline being passed on. However, this led to them being placed under house arrest."
Lia explained with a cold voice.
"What about his thoughts?"
After taking a deep breath, Blake coldly spoke.
"Our father agreed to this alliance, I heard that he wanted to use [Holy Grail] to do something. However, after my resistance, he proposed the martial arts competition, as if giving me a chance. Later, the elders all agreed."
"Perhaps the radical faction of the elders also wanted to use this opportunity to make the remaining opposing family members give up."
After a brief silence, Lia explained the rest with a complex expression. From childhood to adulthood, she and Blake had always been indifferent to their incompetent father.
"Heh, so it was like that."
After hearing this, Blake immediately sneered. Upon hearing the general information, he had already deduced the rest.
This so-called 'giving a chance' was simply the same version of what happened to Rias!
"Brother, there's no need to be angry. Anyway, they've already received their deserved retribution."
Sensing Blake's anger, Lia tidied his messy hair and comforted him.
"We've rested enough. Lia, let's handle the next trouble."
After resting for a while, Blake reluctantly got up from his sister's lap and said as he stood.
Upon hearing this, Lia also elegantly stood up and nodded.
In the next moment, Blake and Lia tacitly walked forward.
After walking for several meters, Blake calmly drew out the Excalibur and held it in his hand. Lia also tacitly unsheathed the slender sword from her waist.
Then, without saying much, both of them simultaneously slashed toward the space ahead with cold, gleaming eyes. In an instant, a sound like glass shattering echoed, the space twisted, then collapsed, revealing its true form!
There, hidden deep within, was a profound ancient formation!
