Chapter 455: Despair Part 1 (1/2)

Once he was done speaking, Zhao Yao stole a quick look at the mission panel Out of the maximum of 1,000 experience points, he had only chalked up 200 so far

He narrowed his eyebrows ”This Faceless guy is unexpectedly resilient I shall have to wear him down bit by bit”

An instant defeat would not enable him to milk this mission of all its worth He theorized that the best as to drive hi his hopes up, then dashi+ng them every time

In theto piece together what had happened The Headless Horseman had taken them down so quickly that they were not too sure what he did All they knew for sure was that he was incredibly powerful

The greed and fervor in their eyes had transformed into fear and suspicion No one dared to make afrom the mysterious pain that jolted the for Faceless These apostles were his last hope Without the stood between the Headless Horseman and himself He could not allow that to happen

”Don't panic,” he said bracingly, ”If he's that good, he would've skipped the s It's obvious that he's hiding a weakness Perhaps his power depletes after a short time”

His words were received with mixed responses Some apostles seemed to buy it, soht None of the action first

These apostles were not friends or allies after all Why would anyone sacrifice the to grow io first?” he asked, ”Fine, I'll go first Just so you know, none of you are getting out of here froolden force field that surrounded hih the air and raht into a japanese apostle, whom spat a mouthful of blood as he flew across the hall

Zhao Yao then traced a horizontal line with his finger This tiy that swept past a group of other japanese apostles, knocking them off their feet and onto their backs

This was, of course, just a small fraction of his powers He had to hold back so that his opponents would harbor the hope that they could beat him

” Bakayaro ,” Shuiichi Nanno cursed

He was glaring at the Headless Horsee A sinister shadow hadit in darkness

He lunged for Zhao Yao

While his mastery of the shadoas not yet on par with Ishi+da's, he was able to elegantly integrate thened to accommodate that Its unique protrusions ensured that shadoere always cast on the blade, offering an endless pool of power to draw froht not be able to becoe as Ishi+da

The moment he stuck his katana towards Zhao Yao, hundreds of shadows eet

The shadowsnose to nose with Zhao Yao in an instant They were about to pierce right through him when he vanished and reappeared three meters away

Shuiichi narrowed his eyes, ”He can teleport too? Darn it”

In truth, Zhao Yao had simply rin on his face as he sent dozens of golden energy waves through the air, this tiapore The er in unison as they wielded their lightsabers They swung the lightsabers around, effectively blocking the incoht Only one of them was hurt He took a few steps back as he hissed in pain

Once again, Zhao Yao was holding back He wanted theainst him Also, he had no wish to lay all his cards on the table

Secrecy can keep an apostle alive A person who knows all your powers knows your weaknesses too This hy Zhao Yao had never unleashed all of them in real life The only chance he could do so was in the dream, where witnesses would not be able to discern which poere real and which were fake

To him, TimeFreeze and his ability to resurrect himself had to be kept secret They were his trump cards

While the five et to Zhao Yao He continued to release shadow figures even though they were easily crushed by his opponent

He shouted at the Singaporeans, ”What are you waiting for? He's not going to let us off even if we surrender”

”He's right,” one of the ether to take him down!”
