Luck is a Charm

Chapter 230: A Maid’s Interrogation (II)

"What else do you have to ask? This interrogation is taking up so much time," Zen complained to the maid, hoping she would speed things up.

She was taking so much time to ask the questions and whenever he answered it swiftly, she would pause and ask him to reanswer again.

If Zen had to compare her with the guards back in the Town of Ash where he was interrogated as well then Zen wanted the guard in the Town of Ash over the maid anytime.

After all, the guards in the Town of Ash have no relationship with him whatsoever so he can literally just go crazy mode and kill them all if they irritated him.

However, he can't do the same thing with this maid because she worked for his woman, Krista Dragoon.

'Heaven, why are you trolling me like this?' Zen complained inwardly as he waited patiently for the maid to finish thinking.

Once the maid finished thinking up a question, she glanced at Zen and asked, "According to Princess Krista Dragoon's word, you can summon some shadows from the dead right?"

Zen was dumbfounded to hear this question as he didn't know Krista Dragoon would tell someone else about him learning the Hymn of Death and summoning some shadows.

Zen didn't feel like answering this as he found it suspicious so he tried to use his magic sense to detect Krista Dragoon's presence.

However, right as his senses were about to pierce through the door, it was cut off abruptly and the maid's expression darkened.

"Did you just try to use your magic sense at the Peace Blossom Court?" The maid shouted for the first time as she retrieved her wand.

Zen had enough of playing with her as he decided to give her some lessons.

The maid realized he was ready to fight as she quickly chanted some spells and launched them toward Zen.

Zen merely smirked at this futile action as he teleported behind the maid and raised his hand before spanking her ass loudly.

The maid yelped in surprise as she never expected him to spank her butt like this and even in a swift manner.

"You are dead," The maid retreated backward a little as she shouted at Zen. 

She believed he was an imposter, pretending to be Zen since he resorted to violence now.

Meanwhile, Zen chuckled softly to finally see some reaction from the maid instead of the deadpan expression.

"So you do have some emotions. I thought you were a goddamn puppet for being so cool and almost unapproachable." Zen started teasing her.

The maid's complexation changed upon hearing his audacity as she raised her guard up before chanting multiple magic spells.

Zen was slightly surprised to see her multi-casting some magic at him.

'Woah, Krista really knows how to pick the maid to work for her. A maid could do multi-casting whereas the imperial guards are merely a bunch of useless men that couldn't even retaliate.' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he would be a gentleman to wait for her to finish chanting.

"Explosion Burst"

The maid shouted when she finished chanting and the deadly spell was fast approaching Zen.

"Hmph, let's see if it can penetrate my true qi barrier then," Zen sneered as he cast his barrier up.

BOOOOOM!

Zen coughed some blood out as the Explosion Burst from the maid actually penetrated his barrier and caused some damage to him.

'What the actual fuck? The concentration of that mana' Zen said inwardly as he looked at the maid with a gawking expression.

The purity of her mana was so pure that it directly ignored his barrier and passed through to his body which is why he took some damage in the beginning.

"H-How did you manage to bypass my barrier?" Zen asked her with a solemn expression.

This was the first time a mage was able to ignore his defense and damage him after he cultivated the Body Tempering process.

His body was even tougher than steel but it still couldn't withstand the magic spell she did which is a shocker for him.

"Given the fact that you actually managed to stand up after getting hit by my spell, I shall tell you a little bit. There are some mages born with a natural talent in bypassing a person's barrier or defense." The maid kindly replied as she started chanting another spell.

Zen narrowed his eyes as he wasn't going to go easy anymore and teleported behind her. 

Alas, unlike the first attempt where he managed to spank her butt, the maid seemed to be able to predict his movement as she already prepared a secret spell behind her as she activated it and the spell exploded on Zen.

Zen was blasted by the spell as he was pushed back. Afterward, the maid finished chanting her spell as it started firing at Zen.

Zen quickly tried to use his movement technique to dodge the spell but the spell seemed to be equipped with a tracking device as it started changing its direction to chase after Zen.

"You can't dodge my spell so it's better for you to surrender now and be apprehended for your offense." The maid said on the sideline as she started multi-casting more spells.

While Zen continued to run around to avoid the spell, he glared at the maid and said, "Did you think you have won the fight already?"

"I believe that is the case here since there is no escape for you. After all, my spells are unblockable and you can only keep running around like a monkey to dodge." The maid said in a calm tone.

Zen started laughing heartily as he had never faced this kind of opponent in his life. 

'This maid has more cheats than me' Zen sighed inwardly as he wondered if the maid was luckier than him.

However, Zen's lip started to curve upward as he retrieved the platinum card from his spatial ring. 

"What an unfortunate maid you would have won if I didn't obtain this platinum card," Zen mumbled softly as he held a wicked grin at the maid.
