When Sagittarius once again gathered his bow and arrow, aiming at Wen Xishu, Albert instantly realized the crux of the problem.
A duel lasting ten minutes does not necessarily mean it will last ten minutes.
If the challenger dies, the duel naturally ends early.
If Sagittarius returns to his original place, then Sagittarius is invincible.
Wen Xishu is the target, and under no circumstances should Wen Xishu be hit.
This is a battle of guardianship.
One side must protect Wen Xishu’s life, defeat their opponent within ten minutes, gather enough information, and break the curse of the seventieth level.
The other side only needs to kill Wen Xishu.
The sight of Wen Xishu left Sagittarius a bit dazed.
Wen Xishu, too, felt a bit dazed upon seeing Sagittarius.
Strangely, Scorpio should be the elder brother of Sagittarius, yet the elder Scorpio is in the form of a child.
While Sagittarius appears in the form of a youth.
This is not surprising, for within the Twelve Constellations, the youngest Pisces actually appears quite mature instead.
Maybe Scorpio simply likes to disguise himself as a child.
Of course, these details don’t matter.
What matters is that Sagittarius already has Wen Xishu in his sights.
To Wen Xishu, this feeling is as if the stars are judging him.
He stands at the center of cosmic chaos, waiting for the starlight to cut him apart.
The terrifying pressure shatters everything around him.
The difficulty of winning this duel is far greater than Albert anticipated.
If Sagittarius was aiming to kill him, Albert could dodge Sagittarius’s arrows.
But if Sagittarius is targeting the current Wen Xishu, then it’s difficult for Wen Xishu to evade.
Wen Xishu and the others are too weak.
The second arrow finally shot out.
With unimaginable force, it destroyed all the pillars of the cathedral like a storm.
All the creatures in Isaac City shivered and tried to escape, like the purest of animals, driven by a single thought: escape.
While leaders and dominators carried an immense fear.
A duel beyond their understanding had begun.
The closer the distance, the greater the arrow’s power.
The strong impact made this already shattered city even more broken.
The enormous energy waves indiscriminately devoured every weak presence, forcing even the strongest beings to use all means to protect themselves to avoid being swallowed by the energy.
But at the center of this disaster, in front of Wen Xishu, Albert’s arm was already wrapped in dark energy.
It seemed no longer an arm, but a spear.
As the terrifying arrow approached, Albert realized... there was no way for Wen Xishu to dodge.
Crossing countless spaces, Sagittarius can lock onto a target using the Power of Cause and Effect.
But at such close range, even without cause and effect, just pure speed, there was absolutely no way Wen Xishu could evade.
Since there’s no escape, there’s no need to evade!
The black energy converged and finally wrapped around Albert’s right arm, that terrifying force capable of destroying everything exploded at that moment!
The fist was like an axe that cleaves the heavens and earth, smashing into the arrow with relentless force.
The collision of fist and arrow created the terrifying energy wave from before.
Even the bizarre creatures at the edge of the city felt the immense impact, and yet, just one step away from Albert, Wen Xishu...
Wasn’t harmed at all.
The dust rolled on, the earth shattered, seemingly never to find silence.
The dust wouldn’t settle; the flames of war seemed unquenchable, endless killing intent collided, but the two strongest did not commence a second round of the duel in mutual understanding.
"Human, Albert Napolitano, is it?"
The Bunker has many people, the Three-Tower Battlefield has many people, but there are very few whom Sagittarius remembers.
Albert is definitely one of them.
Because many years ago, Sagittarius’s brother, Cancer, had already encountered Albert.
In a certain sense, Cancer targets the Slaughter Tower.
In a certain sense, Sagittarius deals with some bunker humans in the Deceit Tower.
Cancer is responsible for some bunker humans in the Slaughter Tower.
But due to a certain event, the agreement changed, leading Sagittarius to start hunting the bunker humans from the seventieth to seventy-fifth levels of the towers.
Sagittarius remembered.
Upon encountering Albert, brother Cancer’s approach was—temporarily avoid conflict.
This sufficiently indicates the strength of the old man before him.
Despite the dust everywhere, as if the city had been struck by a meteor, everything within sight, the dust from when the city fell apart.
But the two strongest beings could sense each other’s actions.
Albert could sense Sagittarius bending the bow and nocking an arrow once more.
Sagittarius could feel the arrow he shot being caught barehanded by the opponent. And at this distance.
Albert catching his silent arrow from such a long distance was already surprising to Sagittarius.
Now, at such close quarters, the explosive arrow was also caught.
This surprised Sagittarius even more.
This means that, in terms of raw numbers, concerning strength, speed, and destructive power... this human has stepped into the hall of the gods.
This is a terrifying thing.
The greatest insult a bow-wielding archer can feel is probably having his arrow caught bare-handed by an opponent.
