Chapter 164: Chapter164-Overwhelming Victory
Eden stood up with the help of Babylon's power, spitting out a broken tooth and said helplessly, "Seriously, right in the face?"
"What else? Didn't you see Babylon's moves just now? They were all aimed at vital points. Besides, I really like these two weapons. How about you surrender voluntarily? At least you can avoid some physical pain."
Hearing this, Babylon and Eden turned their heads simultaneously. They looked at each other and, without saying a word, understood each other's thoughts.
Damn it, keep fighting!
A flash of gunfire, and Babylon took the initiative, darting forward. The spear in his hand seemed to come to life, spinning incessantly! Enjoy reading at m _v _le _mp _yr.
However, Aeris's strength was overwhelming, and his body was incredibly hard.
As long as he avoided vital points, he could withstand the spear's attacks with his body.
Two punches sent Babylon flying, but by then, Eden had taken over, slashing down repeatedly with his sword, forcing Aeris to defend with all his might!
But the situation was still not optimistic.
It seemed that the two of them could fight Aeris to a standstill, going back and forth, but in fact, Eden and Babylon's stamina was greatly depleted, and they were both injured.
Especially the punch to Eden's face; he felt like his nose was broken, burning with pain, and his facial bones seemed to have cracks, making it impossible to open his mouth.
As for Babylon, his condition was even worse.
The initial kick broke two of Babylon's ribs.
Luckily, they didn't pierce his lungs, but even standing up caused unbearable pain.
Seeing this, Elowen sighed and intended to stop the fight.
But Babylon seemed to see through Elowen's intention and quickly raised his hand to signal her to stop.
"I can still continue."
"This is just an assessment. If you get hurt, it's not worth it."
"No way, stopping now would be too much of a loss! I must hit him hard!"
Babylon gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain from his ribs, and stood up with unsteady steps, showing he was close to his limit.
"Oh? You can still stand? Quite resilient, I must say. Fine, let me help you out. Just pass out already."
Aeris grinned, throwing the broadsword from his waist with great force.
The hilt struck Babylon's forehead squarely, making a crisp sound.
Babylon felt a blackness envelop him and collapsed completely unconscious.
Elowen: "..."
She thought this kid had some kind of trump card, which is why he stubbornly refused to give up.
But this?
He stood up just to take another hit?
On the other side, seeing Babylon down, Eden knew he couldn't possibly defeat Aeris alone.
He was about to raise his hand to surrender but was grabbed by Aeris's large hand and slammed into the ground.
"I... damn..."
Eden couldn't even finish his sentence before being easily knocked out, joining Babylon in unconsciousness.
"This... this is just too brutal."
Witnessing the entire scene, the onlookers swallowed hard, expressing their regret.
The strength was overwhelming.
Even without the blessing of the nature goddess, Aeris easily crushed Babylon and Eden, two of the strongest among the fifteen, with just his physical power.
He hardly got hit by their attacks, let alone injured.
"Hehe, Lady Elowen, I've won. You can announce it now!"
"Ah, yes, the winner is Aeris. These two weapons are yours."
"Awesome! Hahaha! Next time if there's another chance like this, be sure to choose me. I'm very weak, and I go down easily!"
Aeris lovingly cradled the long sword, examining it as if it were not a cold weapon but a warm, flesh-and-blood lover.
"What a fine weapon! Lady Elowen, you must teach me spear techniques later. I've decided to master both the sword and the spear, becoming invincible!"
"We'll discuss that later. For now, take the team away. I need to wrap things up here."
"Got it!"
Watching Aeris leave with his team, Elowen sighed deeply and turned to her guards.
"Take those two to the Priest for treatment. If the Priest asks, say it was John's idea."
"...My lady, blaming John for this isn't right, is it?"
"You think I want to? But this has gotten way out of hand, and the Priest's temper is... do you want to get scolded?"
The guard shrank his neck and shook his head repeatedly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Get them over there quickly!"
"Yes!"
Watching the guard leave, Elowen cleared her throat and continued with a pretense of formality, "Fourteen duels have concluded. Let's summarize as usual. Among the fifteen, Meryl's performance was excellent and she was the only one to win her match, deserving of praise.
"However, Meryl, your final decision was too risky. It was all based on the assumption that Fischer wouldn't directly kill you, which allowed for further possibilities. But on that basis, you gambled once again. Although you won the gamble, such behavior is still discouraged.
"Imagine if the arrow had cut your neck? You would have lost too much blood in an instant, and not even the Priest could save you. Do you want Fischer to live in shadow and guilt for the rest of her life?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Fischer..."
"And then we have those two fools who were just sent to the Priest. They overestimated themselves and were stubborn, which is why they ended up battered and broken. Don't emulate this behavior. It's not bravery, it's stupidity!
"And you, Aeris, you should feel a bit more guilty. You're five or six hundred years old, beating two barely adult juniors like this. You went too far."
"I... well, fine, fine. I'll try to go easier next time."
Aeris pouted indifferently, continuing to play with his weapon. As for Elowen's advice, he didn't really take it to heart.
After this demonstration, he doubted anyone would dare challenge him again, which would be truly foolish!
...
"I'm ready!"
Exiled Immortal took a few deep breaths, signaling everyone to move away from him as he continued to approach Minefield No. 1. Exiled Immortal constantly sensed the surrounding wind fields.
At his call, a green wind, mixed with yellow sand, surged into the sky, blocking out the sun!
In just a few seconds, the once clear sky was covered by the swirling sand, and the tornado's range seemed to be expanding!
No matter how many times John saw this scene, he was always amazed.
This could truly be called divine power, combating natural disasters without faltering!
What gave John a bit of a headache was the reason for revealing such a trump card: it was merely to sneak into Minefield No. 1 to mine ores. Such a reason made John's head ache.
"This is a one-time thing. Never mess around like this again, Uncle Mac!"
"Understood, John."
"Qing, as per our plan, you, Lily, Elaria, and Helena stay outside and wait. I'll take Uncle Mac and sneak in."
"No problem, with me here, they won't be in any danger!"
"It's not that I'm worried about... never mind, let's just move closer."
The location where John and his team were wasn't far from Minefield No. 1. Within three minutes, they could clearly see the massive drill that had stopped rotating in the distance, with numerous guards stationed around it, tightly patrolling.
But for John, sneaking in wasn't really a difficult task.
As long as Exiled Immortal created enough of a disturbance to attract the guards' attention, John could fly into the mine with Uncle Mac.
After all, with the towering tornado right in front of them, who would pay attention to a fleeting black shadow?
Things went exactly as the team planned. Once they arrived at Minefield No. 1, Exiled Immortal began manipulating the tornado to approach continuously. Someone immediately noticed this, and the stationed troops turned into a mess. Those who needed to evacuate did so, and those who needed to retreat did so as well. In short, no one wanted to face the sandstorm tornado directly.
With the troops scattered, it naturally gave John an opportunity.
His wings spread out behind him, and with a thought, John swiftly carried Uncle Mac and shot into Minefield No. 1!
