Everyone was very confident in Byleth and assumed that he would certainly be able to defeat the opponent with ease so that he could give Rheasia’s morale a big boost.In truth, Byleth thought so himself too. After all, he was a renowned fighter and the instructor of the Insurgent Trifecta’s Dragon’s Blood squadron. He was already at the edge of being a third-tier master fighter and one step away from being a fourth-tier master fighter. Moreover, he had also grown much more powerful than before after receiving Zayn’s guidance during this period of time. Most importantly, his opponent was a less-known fighter with no impressive reputation internationally. Hence, Byleth’s confidence was not unfounded but it made perfect sense. He cracked a brilliant smile and assured, “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint everyone.”Upon saying that, he was about to get into the ring. Zayn looked at the photo of Daniel, Byleth’s opponent on the huge screen and felt an ominous presentiment overcoming
“What? Sergeant Larson, did I hear you right? According to the data displayed, this man is only a third-tier master fighter,” said Joe in astonishment at once. Axton immediately echoed, “That’s right. Daniel was fighting against a third-tier master fighter in the previous round, and he won it with great effort. How could he possibly be a perfect-class master fighter?”“Sergeant Larson, could you be mistaken?”Quite a number of people wondered if Zayn had mistaken it. However, Zayn inhaled a deep breath with an extremely solemn expression and said in a deep voice, “I can’t possibly be mistaken! This Daniel lad is a perfect-class master fighter. Moreover, he is considered a very powerful fighter even amongst the perfect-class master fighters! I believe that Daniel is not his real name and neither is his current appearance real either!”Next, he inhaled a deep breath and said, “He is putting on an act here so that he can hunt down Sergeant Constantine and kill him!”Everyone could
Everything happened too quickly. In the eyes of the numerous spectators under the ring, they saw Byleth being defeated the very moment the bell was rung. Moreover, he was utterly defeated and crushed. It happened so quickly that their eyes could not process the situation in time!“Uh…”The Rheasian fighters who were cheering for Byleth earlier were stunned in the meantime. Their eyes widened in surprise, and they were too astounded to accept the incident that had just taken place in a heartbeat.On the other hand, the incident roused the excitement and bolstered the courage of those foreign fighters at once. Dick had just arrived at the area under the ring. He was planning on calling out to Byleth initially, yet he could not bring himself to shout anymore after witnessing the scene. His eyes met Daniel’s gaze when he raised his head… No, this man should not be known as Daniel but Romel, a super powerhouse as challenging as Solomon!His gaze was icy cold, filled with mockery a
As he was confronted by the rage of the Rheasians, not an ounce of dread could be seen in Romel. On the contrary, he burst out laughing aloud in endless delight and joy. He raised Byleth high into the air with his right hand clutching Byleth’s throat tightly. Then, he made a thumbs-down gesture toward all the Rheasians at the scene with his left hand. Moreover, he spat out, “Rheasians are garbage.”In the end, he said to Zayn provocatively, “Zayn, there’s no need for you to pretend anymore. I know that you’re very furious and angered now, and you’re about to lose control of your temper soon. I acknowledge that you’re a talented man and a genius that is extremely rare in the world. However, so what? A man like you shouldn’t exist in this world! Yet, you’ve actually had the audacity to gather your great power during the martial arts cup. Do you really think that you’ll be able to proceed smoothly just like that?”Zayn did not utter a word despite Romel’s remark. His reaction almost s
Byleth immediately let out a bitter, agonizing scream that sounded like he was in a lot of pain. Romel ruthlessly tormented Byleth in Zayn’s witness, and to many people, it was an extremely unbearable sight to behold. “Arghh!” Byleth could only scream out in agony though he could not call out his surrender only because Romel was clutching his throat so tightly that he could not finish a complete sentence. Byleth was already covered in wounds and his body was drenched in blood during this short period of time. Romel had cruelly broken his arm as well. “That’s enough!” Zayn could not bear to watch any more, so he shouted aloud, “Let go of Sergeant Constantine and I may spare your life.”He could not keep his cool anymore at last as he watched Byleth writhe in excruciation from being tormented. However, Romel chuckled. “Zayn, do you really think that you’re unparalleled in this world that you get to spare my life?”Upon saying that, he began to continue tormenting Byleth. By
All at once, he stood over there in a daze, gnashing his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing else he could do. It had already been such a long time since he felt so powerless!Romel was doing everything to rub him the wrong way. His murderous intent for Romel grew even stronger than he had ever felt for anybody else. Noticing that Zayn had yet to reply after a long time, Romel’s expression grew solemn and cold. He grunted and said, “Why, you won’t bow down? It seems that you’re a fake country hero who has no regard for your countrymen.”Upon saying that, he continued to exert strength in his hand once again in an attempt to crush Byleth’s neck. “Hold on!” Zayn shouted aloud as he watched Byleth’s tortured expression of being choked to death. Upon hearing that, Romel gave a cruel smile once again. “There’s a saying in Rheasia that those who let themselves be guided by the current course of events are real heroes. Zayn, you’re a wise man, so you should know what to do.”Z
The entire scene was quiet for three seconds before a huge commotion broke out instantly as all the Rheasian fighters boiled over with rage. They were constantly running in from all directions in an attempt to get into the ring and beat Romel to death so that they could avenge Sergeant Constantine!“Gah! Sergeant Constantine is dead. Let’s go and kill the b*st*d together so that we can avenge Sergeant Constantine!”“I’m going to kill you!”“Sergeant Constantine…”Even Romel was startled by the current situation. He was scared because he would not be able to resist all these Rheasian fighters if they were to have a go at him together. Instinctively, he wanted to back out of the ring at once.However, his path was blocked by a figure. He focused his vision to take a look and found a solemn face looking back at him. The figure’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, sending a shiver down his spine in an instant. His heart was racing and he felt terrified. It was because the per
They felt their hearts bogged down even more at this very moment. It was a crushing blow to all the members of the Insurgent Trifecta even more. Byleth had still been lively and talking jovially to them earlier, yet he had turned into a soulless corpse now. Many of the special agents from the Dragon’s Blood squadron were in so much misery with many of them even shedding tears. Joe and the others heaved a sigh heavily after sensing the emotions, feeling at a loss for words. Before the martial arts cup event, they had never expected that the situation would take a turn like this. It was too tragic and heartbreaking for them. They could not imagine the emotional turmoil that Zayn was feeling in his heart while they were in so much pressure and emotional now. Zayn did not walk too far away after he left the arena. Instead, he made his way to a park. He placed Byleth's corpse down before shutting his comrade’s eyes slowly. There were quite a number of people in the park, an
He had already found his next path and he was hopeful for his future. He was convinced that he could reproduce the miracle perfectly if he had enough time!He turned around abruptly and saw Zayn’s icy cold face. He could not refrain himself from saying aloud, “Zayn! I’m your father-in-law! You can’t kill me!”There was a change of Zayn’s icy cold face at last when he heard that. He furrowed his brows for a moment. However, just as Osiris was pleased about his remark, Zayn had already thrown a punch. It was a simple, unadorned, straightforward, concise punch that landed heavily on Osiris’ chest. A poof that sounded like poking through a layer of paper was heard when he punched through Osiris’ chest. On the other hand, Osiris’ body halted to a stop as well. He widened his eyes in disbelief and lowered his head to look at his wound incredulously….“You… You…” He glared at Zayn, his gaze filled with recalcitrance, fear and regret. Zayn said nonchalantly, “You don’t deserve to be h
“You’re next.”Bang!Upon saying that, he exerted strength in his limbs and flew toward Osiris. Yes, he flew over. His body rose into the air and he was capable of standing steadily in the air without any support. He looked just like a superhero from the movies!Most importantly, he was extremely swift in speed and had already surpassed the speed limit achievable by mankind. Osiris felt an immense sense of danger that he had never felt before at this exact moment. It sent a shiver down his spine instantly and he was actually scared out of his wits that his body turned icy cold. He had a feeling that he was no match for Zayn and that he would die immediately if he stayed!Zayn who advanced beyond invincibilis state was way too powerful that he could not make sense anymore and he was no match for Zayn. He made the quickest and most precise decision that was to run. He would spare no effort in running away from Zayn!While there was life, there was hope. Zayn’s success prov
Hence, they did not have the courage to rescue Zayn even after noticing that he was in imminent danger. They could only watch helplessly and do nothing. “Look! That’s Sergeant Larson! Oh god, what transpired in the past few days? Why is Sergeant Larson being surrounded by so many powerhouses from the clubs? He can’t possibly escape from danger under such circumstances no matter how powerful he is!”“Oh no, oh no, Sergeant Larson is going to die here…”“What should we do? Could it be that we’re not going to do anything to save him?”“I don’t know. Let’s ask for instructions from our superior…”The numerous combat aircraft in the sky began to send out signals and asked for instruction from their superior. Soon, they received the reply and they were instructed not to act rashly or approach easily. It was because they would be doomed if they were to get closer and enter the attack zone of the invincibilis powerhouses. Hence, they could only watch from afar and await reinforcement
Upon saying that, Zayn placed Faye on the ground in an extremely gentle and cautious manner. Faye’s body had already become stiff, but her body had actually begun to turn soft after being caressed by Zayn’s palm. She lay flat on the ground with an expression that looked like she was asleep. After Zayn was done, he turned around and looked toward Osiris, his expression icy cold. He said nonchalantly, “It’s your fault that Fifi is dead. You deserve to die.”Next, his gaze swept across everyone and said something that terrified everyone, “All of you deserve to die!”Upon hearing that, Osiris’ expression turned somber and filled with murderous intent abruptly. He had already realized by now that his hard work and effort of a lifetime was wasted on Zayn!At the moment he found Faye in her aging state completely drained of life and power, he realized that his plan had failed!The result of his hard work for a lifetime was seized by the bastard before him!In an instant, his rage
“Zayn’s willpower is so strong that he is capable of withstanding the pain of his body’s restructuring indifferently. He’s an excellent talent.” The person speaking was the armored man and he was looking at Zayn through the cloud without attempting to conceal his admiration. He had encountered plenty of geniuses and countless geniuses more gifted in martial arts than Zayn. However, Zayn was the only ine whose willpower was so strong that he could endure the pain of body restructuring. Even he himself failed to withstand the pain of body restructuring and had rolled on the ground frantically. The woman nodded to herself as she looked at Zayn without attempting to conceal her admiration and approval. “This Earther is quite impressive. He has already taken the step successfully. My trip to Earth was not wasted this time…huh?”However, it was at this exact moment when Zayn on the ground raised his head and looked in their direction with his sharp gaze as if he could sense them.
Zayn wanted to reject her instinctively, but when he saw the final hopefulness in Faye’s eyes, he could not bring himself to reject her anymore. He knew that it was Faye’s final moment.The glint in Faye’s eyes was vanishing gradually. He opened his mouth and of all the words he wanted to say to her in her last moment, he said, “Yes!”Upon hearing the word, Faye’s aged face cracked a smile. Then, the joyous smile was frozen on her face for eternity…Zayn’s body stiffened as well. He had already forgotten how he landed on the ground, but he remained in the same position with Faye in his arms for a very long time. He hugged Faye until her residual body temperature dispersed and her body began to become stiff. Zayn was heartbroken. He felt a feeling of dejection and hollowness that he had never experienced before and it washed over his entire body like a flood. He lost track of time until he felt the rain pouring from the sky. Even the sky could feel his sorrow and began to w
Zayn had never felt so agonized in his life!It was because he knew that Faye was already at the end of her life, not even God could save her now!He had no idea why his heart would ache so badly and why he hated himself so much. It was well within his expectation that both Faye and him would not survive the fall. Now, he was in so much agony just because Faye was one step ahead of him in death. Was he in agony because Faye sacrificed her life for his survival, or was it because he would not see Faye again for the rest of his life?Zayn’s mind could not function normally anymore because he was in so much pain and tormented now. His body was still dropping constantly and at an increasing speed. They were dropping so fast that Faye could not withstand the process and was suffocating. After seeing Faye’s condition, Zayn did not even think. He began to stop his body from falling at full speed instinctively as he was born to do it until he became completely suspended in the air!I
Upon saying that, Faye kissed Zayn’s lips. It was a kiss so deep and unhindered. Zayn hugged Faye tightly as well. In the beginning, he was under the assumption that it was a very normal kiss. It was their final sentimentality before death. However, Zayn discovered that something was off soon!It was because he could clearly feel a gush of immense power passing from Faye’s mouth constantly. The intensity of the power had even surpassed that of the fruits he consumed in Shangri-la. The unexpected change caught him off guard and he was dumbfounded instantly. He did not manage to respond to the situation. What the heck was going on?He widened his eyes and stared at Faye before him. However, he soon saw something that sent a shiver down his spine. Faye’s hair turned from black to white swiftly at a visible speed!Moreover, Faye’s fair, tender skin aged constantly as if life was drained from her instantly. Her skin turned wrinkly and dry like a tree bark. The situation did
“Listen to my order, all members!”Meanwhile, Osiris spoke, his expression filled with ferocity . “Locate both of their bodies from the cliff at the fastest speed!”Upon saying that, he vanished from where he stood. Meanwhile, two people stood at a mysterious location that no one could see above Regicide Heofon’s ground. These two people were a man and a woman. The man was clad in armor and assumed the posture of an army general, filled with dominance. He exuded a powerful presence that had already surpassed the level of all powerhouses on earth. Even Osiris and Zayn were nothing in this man’s presence. On the other hand, the woman stood in front of the man. Her beauty was impeccable and she was as graceful as a fairy…The woman had her head lowered to look at the cliff ahead of her and cracked a peculiar smile. Speaking of which, it was not the first time these two people showed up on earth. They were the ones who brought up the live broadcast of Zayn and King Erik in Sha
