Chapter 877: Lucielle Vs Adrien [Pt 2]

"LUC'IA! LUC'IA! LUC'IA!"

The crowd roared with excitement, their cheers for Lucielle rising above the jeers aimed at Adrien. 

Her heart pounded as she stood in the middle of the arena, horns glinting under the stage light. 

Across from her, Adrien Chase stood with an air of indifference, unfazed by the boos and taunts hurled at him. His reputation as a cruel and powerful human was pretty much well-known, and he seemed to revel in the disdain. 

'I don't know how much of this is an act. According to what Rey said, he's simply playing a role for his Dragon Lord sponsor, but… that doesn't mean I'll be exempt from harm if I'm not careful.'

At the moment she thought of this, Adrien met her eyes with a smirk, his stance casual, as if this fight was nothing more than a formality.

'Looks like he's calmed down a little now.'

He had been pretty upset that she injured him the last time, but all of that malice seemed to vanish alongside his wound.
