Chapter 1406 - Dylan: I Am a Pro in Pulling Aggro (1/2)
“What are you doing?”
The Fortitude Tree King, who was wrestling with Herberlon at the back, immediately noticed the abnormality of the Subduing Tree King and was shocked.
What the hell? Are you seriously stopping ?
Originally, many of the World Tree powerhouses had retreated at the same time and formed a battlefront to support each other, effectively blocking the pursuit of the enemy group. However, the moment the Subduing Tree King stopped, he was instantly at the back and left the team, exposing himself to the enemy Beyond Grade As. “I…”
The Subduing Tree King trembled as though he had just woken up from a dream. He suppressed the urge to turn around and took a deep look at Dylan before hurriedly following the rest.
However, before he could speed up, Dylan raised his brows.
“What are you looking at? What, you want to hit me? Do you have the guts?”
The Subduing Tree King paused, clenched his teeth, and continued to accelerate.
Seeing this, Dylan laughed and said with a judgmental tone, “That’s right. Keep running. A Pugilist who doesn’t even have this bit of courage doesn’t have the right to even look at me.”
The Subduing Tree King subconsciously stopped once again. He was shocked and furious… Usually, he would not be affected by such verbal conflict, but for some reason, when these words came out of this person’s mouth, he could not control his emotions.
Anger surged through his brain, and the Subduing Tree King suppressed it. Just as he was about to take another step forward, Dylan’s sarcastic voice sounded again.
“You really stopped? You can’t even stand two sentences? Ha, you don’t even have this little patience. You’re indeed a Pugilist. Other than ‘stupid’, there’s no other word suitable for you.”
It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed onto his body, and the Subduing Tree King froze. He wanted to continue retreating, but he could not move his legs no matter how hard he tried. A demonic murmur echoed in his heart.
“Kill him… kill him… kill him…”
The Subduing Tree King’s expression changed drastically. His expression was twisted, as though he was fighting with himself.
All of a sudden, the Fortitude Tree King’s roar sounded in his mind.
“Are you f*cking leaving or not ?”
The Fortitude Tree King could not take it anymore. He did not know what had gotten into the Subduing Tree King, but he was running intermittently. It was as if he was suffering from kidney damage, and he was getting left behind.
“There’s something strange about that guy. His words can anger me…” The Subduing Tree King’s tone was gloomy. “Can’t you block his mental transmission ?”
The Fortitude Tree King roared in rage.
He even had to remind him of such a simple matter. He was indeed a pugilist!
The Subduing Tree King was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization.
That’s right, I can still block him. Why didn’t I react just now? I must have lost my mind because of the anger!
He convinced himself. He was not willing to admit that although he was angered to the point of wanting to beat someone up, there seemed to be a magic in Dylan’s words that made him want to listen to the scoldings more…
He quickly solidified the mental barrier and blocked the outside mental fluctuations. At this moment, the Subduing Tree King finally felt that the world was peaceful.
He suppressed the inexplicable reluctance in his heart and continued to run.
“Go back and support the Subduing Tree King!”
The Fortitude Tree King took over the command. He suppressed his anger and ordered the World Tree powerhouses to turn around and receive the Subduing Tree King.
The battlefield was ever-changing. Although the Subduing Tree King had only been delayed for a short while, he had distanced himself from the retreating troops and was completely alone.
Originally, the many World Tree experts had already run far away, and they were able to shake off the Beyond Grade A pursuers of the three Universal Civilizations with a small number of casualties. However, because the Subduing Tree King was being held back by taunts, they had no choice but to turn back and reinforce him. They fell back into the swamp, and their retreat formation was completely messed up.
The Fortitude Tree King had no choice. If he did not send these World Tree experts to support, the lone Subduing Tree King would most likely die on the spot.
Black Star had yet to make a move and could launch a sneak attack at any time. He was afraid that the Subduing Tree King would share the same fate and be sealed like the Heart Tree King, causing another Tree King Crown to disappear. In addition, the Fortitude Tree King did not want the tool, the Subduing Tree King, to die in battle and go into hibernation. That would mean that he would have to take charge of the overall situation, how would he be able to idle away then? He would rather let the other World Tree experts die to save the Subduing Tree King
The World Tree’s retreat was interrupted, and the Beyond Grade As of both sides fought again.
On the other side, Sun Hunter flew past Dylan and laughed.
“Nicely done. Your mind game is quite good. You’ve pinned him down!”
“What mind game? I just want to scold him.”
Dylan had a look of disdain on his face, and his gaze toward the Subduing Tree King held some anger.
Hearing this, the Beyond Grade As flying around looked at him strangely.
Scolding the enemy is nothing. If it was a private chat, it would have been fine. However, you are scolding openly, and we can clearly hear you attacking all Pugilists. If you were not playing a mind game, then doesn’t your scolding involve our Pugilists as well?
At this moment, Sierron flew past them and said with a displeased expression, “Don’t involve us Pugilists even if you want to insult the enemy.”
Dylan glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, “You’re also trash.”
“…Don’t stop me, I’m going to kill him now!”
Sierron was furious.
“Mission is more important. Ignore him.” Sun Hunter quickly grabbed Sierron’s finger and dragged him away without much effort.
The current Dylan had already completely adapted to the identity of the Underworld Hero Spirit, and he no longer had any scruples when speaking. The Beyond Grade As were no longer willing to lower themselves to his level. After all, what was the point in bickering with a dead person?
On the battlefield, the Subduing Tree King retreated as he fought. His attacks were filled with rage, and the power of his attacks increased.
Hila caught up once again. The red and black giant’s fists continued to punch, and its arms pulled back and forth like rubber. However, the current Subduing Tree King did not have any interest in being in a stalemate with her. Every move he made exploded with all his strength, and they all landed on Hila’s body.
After a few rounds, Hila was beaten up badly and she was at a disadvantage.
Although she was also good at close combat in this form, there was still a gap between her and the Subduing Tree King, who was going all out. After all, the Pugilist class still had some meaning…
Bang! The fist, shining with the green light of the cross, landed deeply on the red-black giant’s body, and the surging Pugilist flames entered the giant’s body. The next moment, a green light suddenly lit up in the red-black giant’s body. It expanded in the blink of an eye and dyed its entire body a dazzling green color. It exploded from the inside out!
Like a balloon exploding, the highly concentrated death energy that formed the body directly exploded, turning into red light fragments that filled the sky, and Hila’s body was exposed.
Before Hila could retreat, the Subduing Tree King grabbed her neck and slammed his other hand into Hila’s face, sending blood and broken bones flying. “Powerful!”
