Chapter 707 - 651: Hes here, at last (2/2)
”Give them a break. They can do it.”
Lucy softly smiled and nodded her head, approving of the six youngsters.
”I'm not saying they won't. Just that they can do better.”
”Oh, Arthur, come on! Your team already caught the attention of everyone. I mean, just look at those phoenix flames… I did not know that young man had Phoenix blood in him.”
Isadore Malfront chuckled, his eyes gleaming with excitement as they reflected the sea of flames that spread around Ho Qing.

The four monks surrounded their wounded friend, raised their staff above their heads and mumbled incomprehensible gibberish. Within a couple of breaths, the ground started shaking then it split open, revealing a bottomless ravine from which a beast-like creature showed itself.
A distance away, Ardor managed to overpowered the dwarf, going as far as slicing his mace in half, however, the dwarf didn't seem to mind as he took out a brand new one with an identical appearance and aura.
Ho Qing, with the support of Bora, who repeatedly shot his arrows, successfully backed away from the battle area. Obviously, it was high time for them to retreat, were it not for Cristina's stubbornness, which, unsurprisingly, complicated things.
The arrogant girl, after having her attack blocked by the monks, refused to leave before retaliating appropriately. She tightly held the black spear and, like a bullet, shot at the golden and massive beast.
The relatively minuscule girl clashed with the beast, her spear piercing its body and causing it to angrily roar and shake.
Admittedly powerful, Cristina's recklessness caused her to fall into the ambush of another team.
A black fog filled her view before three shadows shot from the nearby cl.u.s.ter of trees. The girl pulled her spear from the beast and stabbed it on the ground while using it to support herself and spin around, kicking all three assailants at the same time.
They were weaker than her and just her kicks made them stagger to the back, however, the golden beast summoned by the monks did not sit still. It disregarded the black fog and crashed into the unprepared Cristina, blowing her all the way to the swamp.
Fortunately, Rosea turned the water into ice so Cristina ended up rolling over a dozen times before laying there, seemingly unconscious.
Upon a closer view, the unknown attackers turned out to be the Dark Blade Team. Seeing the beast block them from reaching Cristina, they shifted their attention to the closest MoonStar Team member, Ardor.
The youth was busy fighting Gradir but when Cristina's assailants charged at him, he somersaulted and slashed the air multiple times. Several white bursts of lights fell from above, precisely around the three participants.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-here-at-last_51330075525695843 for visiting.
Surprisingly, Ardor's technique wasn't an offensive one, it was only meant to trap them for a short time. The one who finished them off was Rosea, who literally dropped a massive boulder made of pink ice right at them.
In a futile attempt to destroy it, the three youngsters unleashed their techniques but the boulder was just too resistant.
In the end, they were knocked unconscious and their bodies were wrapped by dark flames, signaling that they were officially out of the competition.

Arthur, who was quietly watching the unfolding events, suddenly twitched and looked East. He felt a domineering yet familiar presence closing in on the city.
It wasn't only him who felt this, Lucy also followed his gaze, a cold smile forming on her face.
”You are finally here but… why do I sense a woman close to you? She has your imprint too.”
Arthur faked a few coughs and dared not meet her gaze, he just inwardly cursed his copy, who was foolish enough to bring a woman with him.
