He was in the palace.

Just as Stark was staring blankly at the two teams outside the palace, wondering why they hadn't come to find trouble with him in the first place...

In an instant, he came to a realization.

The two teams saw that there was only one of him, so there was a high probability that he wouldn't be a threat to them.

That was why they had each set their sights on the other team, which was obviously a bigger threat!

They both wanted to take the lead in getting rid of the other party.

As Stark deduced this, as expected, under Clyde's furious roar, the two parties instantly started fighting!

"Go! Brothers, kill that b*tch! I'll reward the person who contributes the most in this battle with C-grade equipment!"

After Clyde shouted in anger, he took the lead in raising his longsword and charging towards Delia.

As for the group of subordinates behind him, they were clearly excited by these words.

They similarly roared in excitement as they pulled out their weapons and charged towards Delia's group.

Naturally, there was no need to say much about Delia's beauty.

They directly erupted with 120% of their strength. Two swordsmen took the lead and slashed towards the two shield guardians at the very front of Delia's group.

Bang.

One of the swordsmen's attacks was blocked by the shield guardian.

The other swordsman, on the other hand, seemed to have taken a stimulant. He actually forcefully slashed through the shield guardian's defense with his sword. After that, he swung his sword once again, directly splitting the guardian into two halves.

"Everyone, attack with all your might!" Delia had not expected the other party to actually be so powerful. They had taken the lead and killed one of her shield guardians.

Having entered combat mode, she immediately unleashed a killing move!

"Frosty Windstorm!"

Whoosh! A cold light surged forth as blue light blossomed from the staff in Delia's hand.

Countless icicles and a cold wind that was as sharp as blades suddenly blew.

Her entire body turned cold.

Those subordinates had been clamoring to kill Delia just a moment ago. But now, this feeling of falling into an ice cave sobered them up a little!

However, they didn't react.

An ice storm with a diameter of tens of meters descended at them.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

This group was instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

"F*ck, what are you cowards waiting for?! Am I weaker than her even though I'm level 35?!"

Looking at his subordinates, who were trembling in fear, Clyde thundered.

Immediately after, he charged towards Delia, who was in the center of the ice and snow.

A slaughter ensued once again.

..

Over ten minutes passed.

Under Delia's large-scale ice and snow attacks, with just the remaining five members of her party, she was still able to contend against Clyde's party, which had over a dozen members.

In just a split second, the attack aimed at Clyde was suddenly blocked by a subordinate beside him.

Delia clearly didn't expect that the other party would be so ruthless. She was immediately struck by Clyde's sneak attack, and a large blob of blood burst out from her chest.

"Ugh!" With a muffled groan, she landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Boss!"

"Big Sister!"

The people behind Delia immediately became concerned.

Delia was injured. Based on the current battle situation, it was absolutely impossible for them to continue fighting.

"Let's retreat first. We don't need to care about the platinum treasure chest anymore!"

"Right! After all, Big Sister's life is more important!"

At this moment, there were only three people left in Delia's team. It was absolutely impossible for them to fight against Clyde's remaining seven or eight members.

These people prepared to escape with Delia.

"Hmph, you want to escape? Have you asked me?!" Clyde's body suddenly emitted a red light!

"Scarlet Fury, Triple Attack!"

His body instantly increased by a size!

A terrifying aura spread out!

"Triple attack? Since when did he have such a skill?!" Delia's face revealed a look of despair!

In such a situation, even if she were to face him at her peak, there was absolutely no chance of her defeating him.

At this moment...

She even began regretting her previous actions. She shouldn't have brought people here to snatch the platinum treasure chest.

Otherwise, her subordinates wouldn't have died for nothing because of her.

More importantly...

She could clearly see the lewd and excited look in Clyde's eyes. It was obvious that he wasn't going to kill her. Instead, he would keep humiliating her by imprisoning her.

After the beginning of the apocalyptic era, the reason why she was able to reach such a high level of power was that she was able to awaken the profession of Ice Frost Wizard.

Still, the most important thing was the pride and self-reliance that belonged to a woman in her heart.

It was so that she would not be bullied by others. She gritted her teeth and climbed up from the ground time and time again to become stronger.

And now, after seeing Clyde's devilish expression, she had no way out. She was already biting the tip of her tongue, ready to kill herself.

On the other side, Stark, who had been paying attention to everything from the start, also noticed this scene.

As a woman with both strength and beauty, she was naturally enough to attract his attention.

In fact, the moment this scene happened, a thought had already appeared in his mind subconsciously.

If a woman like this could become his subordinate and he could make her submit to him...

Not talking about her beauty first, it just so happened that she would be a great fighting force in the apocalyptic era!

Especially that green poison catastrophe, it was right around the corner.

The corners of Stark's mouth immediately curled up into a smile.

On the other side, when Delia was about to commit suicide, Clyde's eyes were also filled with shock.

"How dare you, woman!" Seeing that Delia would rather die than satisfy him, Clyde was enraged. With a furious roar, he swung his long saber, and a wave of flames shot towards Delia.

He wanted to stop Delia's actions.

However, just as the wave of flames was about to heavily injure Delia...

A ball of lightning exploded in the air, instantly blocking this attack!

Boom!

The fiery inferno dissipated!

"Who is it!" Clyde saw this scene and cried out in surprise.

He did not expect that there would still be someone who dared to stop him at this moment.

When the flowing flames dissipated, Stark was already standing in front of Clyde. At the same time, in his arms was the severely injured Delia, whose face was pale.

Stark stared at Clyde with a faint smile. "My heart aches for such a beautiful girl. Wouldn't it be a pity if she were to be destroyed by you?"

"It's you, kid?!"

Seeing Stark's exact appearance, Clyde's eyes were filled with shock.

He had never expected the one who had blocked his attack for Delia was actually the loner Stark!

Damn it. I haven't even taken the initiative to look for you, yet you still dare to meddle in my business?

Clyde wasn't the only one who was stunned. Even Delia, who was in Stark's arms, didn't know why he would suddenly make a move to save her.

However, on the other side, Clyde, whose anger had reached its peak, couldn't hold it in any longer. He stretched out his long knife and pointed it at Stark. In a cold voice, he said, "Kid, I think you really f*cking want to die!"

Stark acted as if he did not hear Clyde's threat.

This was because his only thought at this moment was to pull Delia into his team first!

Immediately after, a voice that caused the entire crowd to be stunned rang out.

Stark looked directly at Delia and said, "Hey, Delia, I'll give you a choice. I'll help you kill this lecher in front of you.

"How about you follow me from now on?"
