Chapter 484: A Mechanics Threat (2/2)

Marcos' face lit up with glee; the situation was taking a turn in his favor.

”I will let you decide, Mr. Nihlathak,” Marcos announced lightheartedly. If both of them agreed with the Hammer's proposal, it was the same as having Nihlathak, his best champion in this tournament, fighting for him for eight rounds instead of one.

As Marcos expected, Nihlathak insisted on his plan.

Guan Dongyang's mind raced. If he agreed to the proposal, he would be locked up with a level twenty warrior in a confined space, and his chance of winning was zero. However, he conceded that there was no other option, and he had to do it at this point.

”Captain, I can help you fight this round.”

A voice rang at the back of Battle Wolf's soldiers. A young man with unruly beard stepped forward. Marcos frowned, as he could not recognize this face. One of his assistants pressed close to his ear and whispered something to him. But on hearing that, his puzzled frown didn't go away.

A mechanic? Absurd!

Guan Dongyang was caught by surprise. The moment Furface walked into the battlefield, he would be dead.

”Furface, step back! This is not funny!” Ye Zi urged with an edge in her voice.

Lie Xuan watched the events unfold with a smirk on her face. Earlier, a level eleven soldier had defeated a level sixteen, and now, a mechanic was going to challenge a level, twenty warriors? Ha! Things were getting more and more interesting!

Guan Dongyang was about to shot back at Furface when a voice rang in his ear. ”Brother Dongyang, it has been a while since we last met on the Ark. Let me help you this time!”

The familiar voice sent a tremor to Guan Dongyang's body before he even realized who the voice belonged to. After half a second, hope lit up in Guan Dongyang's eyes.

It had been five years, so how could he have forgotten the man who faced Patroclus by himself in order to save time for the rest of the crew on Ark?

As recognition dawned upon Guan Dongyang, he gathered himself and announced, ”Brother… furface… Please, go ahead. We will be counting on you.”

The rest of the Battle Wolf warriors could only stare at the two in confusion.

But, Lie Xuan had picked up the subtle changes on Guan Dongyang's face. She knew something was amiss.

”Excellent! What a promising young lad! I am sure you will live longer than me!” Nihlathak laughed.

Guan Dongyang didn't mind the Hammer's satirical jab. ”Mr. Nihlathak, if you can last more than five minutes against my mechanic, I will count it as your victory.”

Everyone laughed; it was a preposterous claim!

Nihlathak narrowed his eyes and studied Wang Tong's face. ”Who are you?”

The tone in Hammer's question silenced everyone; he was getting serious.

Wang Tong cracked a smile and then replied, ”I am a nobody, just a lowly mechanic. I will try not to hurt you too badly.”

Some people gasped, and some laughed at Wang Tong's absurd confidence.

Guan Dongyang relaxed in an armchair as if he were about to watch a good show. However, his clenched fists had betrayed his excitement.

Despite the blazing anger inside him, Nihlathak reminded himself to be careful. He had sneaked a soul energy attack at Wang Tong, but he didn't seem to be affected by it at all.

Suddenly, a tsunami of deadly energy gushed toward Nihlathak. Acting out of instinct, Nihlathak charged up his soul energy to defend, and the two waves of energies collided. The impact sent an overbearing attack at Nihlathak's sea of consciousness and gravely damaged it.

Nihlathak's face turned pale like a piece of paper, and he could no longer sense the presence of Wang Tong's soul energy. He finally realized that his opponent was not a lowly mechanic, but a legendary, Einherjar level warrior.
