Mo Fan slashed, and a burning scar over a hundred meters long was left behind, as if it was trying to intercept the river at the center of the battlefield.
Hilton was right beside it with a blank face. He was lucky, and used his magic Boots in the nick of time to dodge the slash. Otherwise, he could not tell how he would have ended up.
However, Hilton was not relieved for long, as he saw the giant, burning sword had not disappeared. Mo Fan was still holding it in his hands.
Hilton had an urge to burst out in tears, and fled instantly. He did not dare face Mo Fan at all!
Mo Fan glanced at the fiery sword in his hands in astonishment.
It turned out that Asha'ruiya's blessing not only improved the fiery sword's damage by fifty percent, it also increased the sword's duration!
The fiery sword was made of energy. Mo Fan slashed horizontally when he saw Hilton trying to run away.
The tongues of fire sweeping across the place as the twenty-meters-long fiery sword was swung horizontally were absolutely shocking. No matter how fast Hilton ran, he had no chance of escaping from the flames. He was devoured by the flames and knocked flying by the force.
”Blink!” Asha'ruiya was seriously going to extremes. Her eyes emitted a sacred silver light as she directed the energy toward where Hilton was falling in the distance.
Hilton fell to the ground with the remaining flames. His armor was heavily damaged. He rose to his feet quickly, and seemed to be in fairly good condition still. He was planning to adjust himself to face his opponents when he realized Mo Fan was standing right in front of him!
Hilton saw that he had been surrounded by a silver aura. His slightly swollen face contorted instantly!
Mo Fan was grinning like a devil. He clenched his left hand into a claw, seething lightning crackling between his fingers wildly.
Hilton had been teleported back here right after he was knocked flying. He suddenly felt like he was a human punching bag swinging back to its original position. He was ranked seventh among the participants, yet Mo Fan and Asha'ruiya were about to drive him nuts!
”Sky Lightning Claw!”
”Blessing: Strengthen!”
The Sky Lightning Claw already had outstanding damage, yet Asha'ruiya did not hesitate to strengthen it even further. Even though it had only raised the spell's damage by thirty percent, it was currently eight times the damage of a normal Lightning Spell!
The lightning danced wildly. Hilton used all the defensive Equipment he had to protect himself, yet he was soon covered in wounds and bruises; the lightning was too capable of penetrating his defense!
”Zorro, hurry up and save me!”
Hilton struggled in the lightning. He was pretty strong among the participants. Any other so-called all-star participant would have been blasted beyond recognition by now.
Hilton was screaming in a certain direction. Mo Fan and Asha'ruiya noticed that Zorro was flying toward them with four white Wind Wings on his back. For some reason, his speed was rather slow. He only sped up significantly as he was approaching them.
”I'll handle him.” Asha'ruiya quickly flew into the air. The illusionary wings on her back allowed her to fly nimbly.
Asha'ruiya and Zorro met in the air. Zorro glanced at his teammates that were struggling to hold their grounds and snapped furiously, ”You cunning little b**ch!”
”Bye!” Asha'ruiya's bracelet emitted a silver glow once again. It quickly turned into tiny strings flying at Zorro.
Zorro immediately panicked. He beat his wings and flew away, not daring to waste his time talking to Asha'ruiya.
The silver strings intertwined around Zorro and formed a Space formation once again!
Zorro's strength was indeed shocking. He almost escaped from Asha'ruiya's inescapable magic formation. Unfortunately, he had come all the way back to save the day, but he was once again teleported to some corner of the battlefield. The strong Time Stasis was even slowing down him and delaying his return!
”Zo...Zorro...” The hope on Hilton's face turned into despair once again.
Mo Fan the violent came up to him once again. Hilton did not even bother struggling. The Greek team was clearly more aggressive when fighting them than when they fought the Chinese team!
In the end, a blue glow appeared and formed a barrier around Hilton to protect him.
Hilton had a blank face. Even when the assistant judge was escorting him away, he seemed like he no longer had nothing left to live for.
The man that was ranked seventh in the tournament was aiming to conquer the world handsomely, but ended up being knocked out in such a miserable manner. Hilton could only place his hopes on his teammates, hoping that they could overcome the difficult situation.
”I initially thought we could take him out right away, but we ended up wasting so much time on him,” Mo Fan glanced into the distance and saw Zorro frantically making his way back again.
