Chapter 174: Alfred's Anger

As the ferocious battle raged on between Alfred and Drakina, a new dynamic unfolded with Ophelia's arrival on the scene. Having efficiently dispatched Alfred's underlings, she now turned her attention to the main event. She walked over to where Drakina was engaged in combat, her steps confident and carefree, almost as if she were strolling through a park rather than a battlefield.

Drakina, amid parrying Alfred's relentless attacks, caught sight of Ophelia. Her stoic expression remained unchanged, but there was a subtle shift in her stance, an acknowledgment of Ophelia's presence.

Alfred, meanwhile, was caught off guard by Ophelia's sudden appearance. In the heat of his offensive, he faltered for a moment, his flames flickering. "Why are you here?" he barked, his tone a mix of surprise and irritation. He had expected her to be preoccupied, giving him a clear advantage over Drakina.
