1065 Interfere 5 (1/2)
And just like that, Amory, Cullen and Chanzui had attacked each other. Without having put up any defenses, they were each sent flying back by the attacks of their allies, and since they hadn't held back even one bit, hoping to kill Dyon with a single strike, their injuries weren't light either.
Diana was the most shocking one of the four, but Dyon had actually stuck a knife into her lower back, twisting and snapping her spinal cord. At the moment, the only reason she could still stand was because she was using saint energy to fuel her muscles, but unless she found someone to reconnect her spine, her fighting abilities would be forever crippled.
Dyon used his last dregs of energy to kick Diana to the ground, turning her around and clamping onto her throat.
”Anyone who interferes, dies.”
Diana shivered as she looked into the depths of Dyon's eyes. Was this really the man she had thought to make an enemy of? For what? Her pride? Her greed? Which was it?
”Die.” Dyon swung his knife downward, hacking toward Diana's head.
Diana could only grit her teeth and activated her protective treasure. In that moment, she disappeared from Dyon's hand, likely having teleported out of the core valley entirely.
Dyon had no reaction to this. For these Emperors, they were the life blood of their clans. Many quadrants wouldn't have a single God over many generations, so talented Emperors upheld their clan. The fact they had treasures that could protect against Emperor level Presence and illusions of this level was enough to prove the value they held. Of course they would have some life-saving treasures. For example, had Anak not had a life-saving treasure protecting his life, he would have been severely injured after using his Presence against Dyon.
With a swift motion, Dyon hid his knife in his sleeve before taking out a healing pill that Clara had made for him.
What knife could have so easy sliced through Diana's armor if not the Dragon King? He didn't dare to use it on a large scale for fear of the Dragons, but a small scale like this wouldn't be any problem. Dyon knew that everything was being recorded, so he had to be careful.
The other lucky draw was that the tattoos on his back were hidden by his bandaged broad sword, which would stop those of the 98th quadrant who had seen them from so easily making the connection.
Dyon suddenly felt much more relaxed. The damage from the aurora flames and the fierce attacks were all subsiding, in as little as another minute, it would be as though he hadn't fought at all. Even though he only had three such pills and their expense were more than all of his plaques combined, it was worth it. He refused to allow Aki to escape.
