Chapter 430 Do you still want it?
Alec appeared above the battlefield, and he glanced down to see the thousands of people battling below. Then, he turned his gaze towards Carcel, Yon, and the others who were fighting the pseudo-divine rank individuals and the two divine rank elves in the distance.
He quickly rushed towards Mia, who was fighting one of the pseudo-divine rank individuals, and started helping her.
Alec took out another sword from his storage ring, the one he obtained from the Continent. It was heavier and bigger than the one he had lost. But it's not like he had any other choice, did he?
Mia's breathing was uneven when she glanced at Alec, who appeared out of nowhere. Her eyes reflected surprise, not just Mia, but everyone who had watched Alec fight with Diora and then vanish with Kyle and the woman was surprised.
However, the surprise soon turned into happiness when they didn't see Diora anywhere on the battlefield. Does that mean Diora has been taken care of? But they weren't sure because Kyle hasn't returned yet.
Also, Yon and the other tower's guardians were curious about the sudden earthquake that happened a while ago. It definitely wasn't natural—more like the sound of an explosion that happened in a faraway place.
In that moment, a familiar portal materialized above the battlefield, and Kyle stepped out from the portal. Many people glanced at the man with the bright silver hair.
Alec kicked the person in front of him and instantly felt the familiar presence that appeared beside him. This time, he wasn't even surprised because it seems he finally got used to Kyle's sudden appearance.
"What took you so long-!"
He halted in mid-sentence when he turned his gaze toward the man, only to notice a familiar sword in Kyle's hand.
Kyle smirked and ran his fingers along the blade of the sword in his hand.
The metal had turned black in different spots, but the shape of the sword remained unchanged even after going through such a massive explosion. Not to mention, the bright golden light that was emanating from the sword.
"So, do you still want it, or should I take it?"
Alec's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed the sword from Kyle before hugging it tightly. He wanted to thank Kyle and ask how the sword survived, but the latter disappeared from his sight.
Kyle appeared behind one of the divine-rank elves fighting with Carcel, Regius, and Nine and punched the man. The man cried out and was flung towards Carcel, who seized the opportunity and spun his body mid-air before kicking the man towards Regius.
Nine wiped his forehead and finally took a relaxed breath after spending so much time under the divine pressure. He really thought his body would be crushed soon, but he survived.
"Now it's my turn, you bastard!"
He rubbed his knuckles and clenched his fist, gathering all his strength. But the elven man managed to balance himself mid-air and let out a loud cry. The air around the man started cracking, and countless shockwaves, strong enough to make everyone deaf, spread out in all directions.
Nine grabbed his ears tightly and cursed under his breath. Just when he thought he would be able to get his revenge, this crap happened. His breathing was irregular, and his divine energy low, so he couldn't even form a proper barrier against the shockwaves.
Not just him, everyone around him was also affected by the shockwaves.
Kyle winced and almost lost his balance mid-air, but he gritted his teeth and used instant teleportation to appear behind the man. His eyes flashed with a cold glint as he grabbed the man's head and flung him forward, where a portal appeared out of thin air.
"Ugh, I almost thought I was gonna lose my hearing today..."
He watched as the portal disappeared with furrowed brows before looking at the exhausted people around him.
"Carcel, come with me. Let's finish this one. I prepared one more explosive array in another place. Nine and Regius, you two should help the others."
Carcel nodded, even though he wasn't really sure what explosive array Kyle was talking about. He followed the silver-haired man as the latter entered another portal.
Nine and Regius glanced at each other, and the duo quickly joined Yon, Sinon, and the other tower's guardians. Now, only one divine rank individual was left behind, and with more people joining the fight, the elf felt a chill run down his spine.
The elf's clothes were torn and soaked in blood that was oozing out from the various injuries on his body. He looked around and, after realizing that he was the only divine rank individual left, he turned around and was ready to make a run for it.
He didn't care about the shame and punishments that awaited him after he reported all this to the shadow general. In the end, his life was what mattered most.
But Sinon, who got the most beating from the divine rank individual, let out an angry shout.
"You think you can run away after giving me so many injuries!? Just look at how my handsome face is all swollen up because of you! Get ready for my ultimate move!"
He flapped his wings and with lightning-fast speed appeared above the elf. Nine paused in his actions and gazed at Sinon with a serious expression.
"What's he up to?"
Not just Nine, Yon, and the others also stopped in their tracks and curiously gazed at the winged demi-human.
The divine rank elf snapped his eyes toward Sinon and with a snicker, instantly used one of his skills to finish off the demi-human now that the latter was alone.
However, in that moment, under so many eyes, a massive wave of water appeared behind the Sinon. The wave grew in size and surged out in an all-exposing manner before enveloping the sky in a curtain.
Nine's eyes widened at the sight.
"Oh, crap!"
He instantly fled in a different direction. Regius and the ones who knew about Sinon's strange interest in water-type skills also started flying away in different directions.
Yon and the other tower's guardians were confused at first, but they got their answer when the towering wave of water swooped down. It didn't just drown the divine rank elf, but all those who were in its path.
Sinon let out a boisterous laugh as he watched the wave, satisfied. He used all his remaining divine energy in this skill. That's why his water-type skill was strong enough to drown a divine rank individual. But his smile disappeared when many drenched individuals gazed at him with dark eyes.
"Oh, it seems I failed to control the skill rage properly..."
He quickly ran off and started fighting with the drenched divine rank elf to avoid the people glaring at him. Yon let out a tired sigh and quickly joined Sinon.
"This is a new experience I'm adding to my list. After all, it's not every day I get to have a free shower in the middle of the battlefield."
In the distance, Alec killed the pseudo-divine rank individual he was fighting and took a deep breath. Jian also took down the two pseudo-divine rank individuals he had been fighting after Yue and Lara came to help him out.
The battlefield shook once again when another loud explosion echoed in a far away place. Alec, who had joined Nine and the others in beating the hell out of the last divine rank individual, stopped when he heard the noise and let out a chuckle.
"Just how on earth did he manage to set up another deadly array?"
