Chapter 500 Return (2/2)
”Sure!”
Ember's eyes lit up, and he returned to where he had come from. Upon thinking about the possibility of getting rid of Black Star, his mood instantly lifted.
…
The protective shield had served its purpose to seclude this region, and the battlefield was already becoming one sided. The DarkStar warriors all began to fall one after another.
In the middle of the debris, 'Anur' ended his call with Ember. After turning off the communicator, he tapped his cheeks lightly, and an electrical current ran across the face. The next moment, Han Xiao's face was revealed.
Taking off the Facial Simulator, Han Xiao rubbed his cheeks and looked at Nagakin with a smile. ”He's coming back, and I have a piece of good news. Alvin succeeded in escaping.”
Nagakin burst into satisfied laughter and cracked his knuckles. ”Great! My fists are still hungry.”
Han Xiao nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. It was truly tiring for him to act. With Anur dead, the communicator had been picked up by him, and he had instantly thought of making good use of it.
DarkStar only had a single Calamity Grade Super left, and the difference in strength had finally been even out. While the Ames Character Summon Card had already been used, Nagakin was also extremely powerful. Together with him, the chances of them surrounding Ember would be extremely high. The only problem was whether or not Ember knew about the present situation. If he found out about their situation, he would definitely retreat.
Right at that moment, Ember had actually called Anur on the communicator. Han Xiao had immediately taken out the Facial Simulator and scanned Anur's corpse to pose as Anur. At the same time, he had tested Ember with his words.
When he was acting, Han Xiao had truly been nervous. He did not know how Anur usually talked to Ember, and after observing Ember's reaction, Han Xiao concluded that Ember was extremely respectful toward Anur.
Ember did not suspect Han Xiao in the slightest, and he did not even notice the small discrepancies. Thinking about it carefully, this was extremely normal. After all, someone would only be able to use Anur's communicator if he had died.
In Ember's eyes, that was impossible.
”Not just that, his reaction allowed me to confirm something. There is indeed a DarkStar fleet waiting in the atmosphere.” Han Xiao took his own communicator and tried to contact Aroshia while saying to Nagakin, ”I never thought that we would be able to get rid of a Calamity Grade enemy. Since that's the case, we now have more breathing space. With most of the ground troops wiped out, there isn't a need for us to take the risk and send Alvin away.”
Nagakin thought for a while and felt that it made sense.
It was best for them to adapt to the changes.
At that moment, the Protector also walked forward. Looking down at Anur's corpse, he let out a sigh and said with pity, ”You guys actually killed him. Jeez, if I didn't suffer from his attacks, I wouldn't have been a step late.”
Both of them were dumbfounded.
This person was truly vengeful!
How wonderful!
After pretending to feel pity for a while, the Protector then looked at the two of them with his gaze focusing on Han Xiao. A look of unconcealed amazement could be seen in his eyes.
After pausing for a while, he did not say another word and retreated far away. The members of DarkStar were already at their wit's end, and he did not have any intention of interfering.
He had previous witnessed Anur's death, and if he intervened at this moment, Godora might think that he was interfering with them on purpose. Thus, he gave up any idea of saving them.
Is it truly so difficult to remain neutral?
Nagakin then looked toward Han Xiao and commented, ”That ability of yours… it seems to be related to the Dragon Emperor.”
This doubt had been in Nagakin's heart for a while, and he had finally found a chance to ask about it. He knew that his senses were definitely not mistaken, and the might of that attack was definitely at the beyond Grade A level. However, why was Black Star able to make use of the Dragon Emperor's abilities? Just what was their relationship?
If this matter was reported to the War Bureau, the intel division would probably have to re-estimate Black Star's position in Floating Dragon Island.
”Nothing much, I only performed a small role.” Han Xiao waved his hands humbly.
Nagakin could not help but value Black Star even more now. A few days ago, he had felt that this mission was completely hopeless. Even when he secured Han Xiao's help, it did not reduce the hopelessness that he had felt. However, Han Xiao's abilities had far exceeded his imagination.
If not for Anur's corpse lying down at the side, he would never have thought that even after facing a situation where he was surrounded by two Calamity Grade Supers, he would not be severely injured and actually be able to get rid of one of them.
With two of them fighting him alone, he was actually able to kill one of them!
The sound of the surrounding battles began to die down, and this meant that the DarkStar warriors were getting fewer and fewer.
”Let's stop chatting,” Han Xiao said in a deep voice. ”The battle isn't over yet, and there are still members of DarkStar alive. Before Ember returns, we should get rid of them quickly and not leave a single one of them alive.”
…
Swoosh!
The Battleship Slicing Blade cut through flesh, and Sherman's shocked face was cleaved into two.
Herlous panted heavily and sheathed his weapon. After a long battle, he had finally gotten rid of this dwarf Cannon Master. With the enemy's morale being destroyed, their courage had also been destroyed, and Herlous had killed the other party in one fell swoop.
Just as he wanted to leave, his footsteps suddenly paused, and he turned back to Sherman's corpse. Picking up the cannon that had landed on the ground, Herlous muttered to himself, ”Black Star should like this spoil of war.”
Carrying the cannon on his shoulders, Herlous left the battlefield happily.
…
Bang!
Sinesa's brain was reduced to mush, and she collapsed onto the ground with her body contorting.
Chen Xing rubbed her throat, which had turned hoarse from singing loudly. Shutting her eyes, she recuperated from the damage that the other party had dealt. The other party had not been weak, and she had exhausted a great deal of energy.
”Feidin, I saved your life, and your body shall be treated as the reward,” Chen Xing said.
Feidin laughed bitterly in the head but did not respond.
Chen Xing then looked up at the protective shield and muttered to herself, ”Since I cannot leave now, I can only pretend to be Feidin and interact with those mercenaries. As long as they don't see through my disguise, I will be able to escape during our free and easy time.”
It was not too difficult for her to pretend to be Feidin. Her senses were connected to Feidin's, and she was extremely familiar with Feidin's habits. She was definitely confident in mimicking him completely.
Thinking about the source of all her trouble, Han Xiao, Chen Xing's mood became terrible.
As long as she could trick that fellow, she would regain her freedom.
She was extremely confident in her acting skills. After all, she was an actress!
