Before Alice's sword had fully descended, Lucien hurriedly deactivated his Ninefold Stellar Sanctuary magic formation.
"This is a joke," Lucien thought. If his formation were broken again, he might sustain serious injuries and require several months to recover.
Knowing the capabilities of his opponent, why would he recklessly risk it?
"Miss, I think we can conclude this duel," Lucien said, retreating a few steps, genuinely intimidated by Alice.
He pondered why he hadn't seen it earlier,perhaps because Alice's sword techniques in the previous two instances were executed flawlessly, which appeared more potent than any sword technique he had witnessed.
"You may leave," William said, seemingly uninterested.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Lucien was formidable, but to William, he was still lacking.
Lucien bowed politely to Alice and asked, "Miss, may I know your name?"
"Get lost!"
