The Tireless Opponent
The battle between Tagore and Aurora has also entered a stalemate. Although both of them have many wounds, none of them are fatal.
Gu Ding remained unconscious, and neither Dokter nor Sea Emperor could find anything wrong, causing Liliath and the others to worry. It wasn't that Gu Ding waking up would necessarily solve the problem of Aurora; it was mainly because everyone was used to Gu Ding being their pillar of support. Now that Gu Ding was in a coma, everyone was at a loss.
"Tagore's transformation state has a time limit and cannot last too long." Sea Emperor's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. "The best way now is to get Clark, the top 2, to help. Only if he and Tagore join forces can they possibly win."
"I'll handle this!" Liliath stepped forward.
In truth, none of the Interstellar Pirate wanted to deal with the Federal Government, let alone get involved in anything with them. Liliath was no exception, but now she truly had no other choice.
"I'll go with you!" Elsa was a little worried about Liliath's safety and offered to go with her.
Liliath nodded, and the two women walked out of the pit and headed straight for the two people in the top 2.
"What do you want?" Clark frowned slightly as he watched the two women walk towards him.
"Clark, you've all seen Aurora's current situation. He has completely succumbed to the abyss. And you are the only strong person in the entire ruins who can contend with him. If you don't help suppress him now while Tagore is in his transformed state, everyone in the ruins will die at Aurora's hands once Tagore's transformation ends." Liliath stated the seriousness of the situation directly.
"You are Interstellar Pirate, I have no reason to help you. Besides, Aurora was originally one of our top two, how can we help outsiders against our own people?" Clark directly rejected Liliath's request.
Most people in the Federal Government didn't have a very good impression of Interstellar Pirate. This was especially true for teenagers like Clark, around sixteen or seventeen years old, who had gone directly into the Federal Government military after graduating from school and had virtually no experience in society, so they knew very little about what real Interstellar Pirate were like. Their knowledge was limited to descriptions of Interstellar Pirate raids and plundering from textbooks. Naturally, they didn't have any positive feelings towards Interstellar Pirate.
"First of all, Aurora is now completely controlled by the Death Evil Sword and is no longer human. This is not difficult to determine from his aura. As his companions who have been with him for a long time, you should know better what Aurora's aura should be like. Not to mention that your cultivation is much higher than mine. I can see the aura of an abyss creature on him, but you can't?"
"Secondly, even if there's a possibility of him recovering, Clark, as the leader of this operation by Top2, shouldn't you prioritize the safety of your team members, suppress him first, and find a way to lift him out of this state as soon as possible? The longer you delay, the lower the chance of his recovery will naturally be."
"There's another point. You're arrogant about your strength and think that Aurora poses no threat to you right now, but you're sorely mistaken. A person controlled by the Death Evil Sword will slaughter every living being within their sight; no one can escape. With the Death Evil Sword's blessing, he knows no fatigue or pain. If we Death Ray, without outside help, you'll eventually be worn down by him."
Liliath's words caused Clark's expression to change slightly. He knew that with Aurora's current Combat Strength, killing him was virtually impossible. However, his own strength wasn't enough to overwhelm Aurora. Therefore, his battle with Aurora would become a war of attrition. But if what Liliath said was true, then he really might eventually be worn down by Aurora. Because no matter what, he couldn't fight indefinitely; the various replenishing potions in his Storage Space would eventually run out.
"Alright, I can lend a hand. But how to deal with Aurora is up to us, the top two. No one else is allowed to interfere." Clark didn't want Aurora to fall into the hands of the Gu Ding Team, so he made this request.
"Sure, we didn't have any particular intentions towards him anyway." Liliath nodded readily. But she also had a hint of worry. "According to the information we've received, those corrupted by the Death Evil Sword cannot be reversed. Of course, what you do is none of our business; I'm just giving you a heads-up."
"You don't need to worry about this." Clark glanced at Liliath, then flashed into the fray.
His strength was indeed formidable. With a powerful punch, silver fist energy shot out, tearing a black spatial rift in the void and producing a deafening roar like a cannon.
Aurora immediately sensed the danger and dared not be careless, turning around to parry with her sword.
The silver fist force, like a powerful Photon Cannon, crashed directly into the black longsword. It was blocked by the sword's edge and continuously weakened. Cracks appeared in the space beneath Aurora's feet, but this did not stop her from retreating.
Just then, Tagore seized an opening and gathered a Space Slash, raising his claw. The crescent-shaped black slash, carrying dangerous spatial energy, hurtled towards Aurora's waist. This attack looked extremely terrifying, yet it was completely silent and incredibly swift.
Aurora didn't have time to block it. He could only barely twist his body to try to avoid the attack, but he still couldn't dodge it in time and was still slashed by Tagore's Space Slash, which cut half of his body.
Under the influence of this attack, Aurora's defense also faltered. She was struck in the chest by the silver fist force that had not yet been fully depleted, and half of her chest immediately collapsed.
After two successful attacks, Liliath and the others below became quite excited.
Tagore wanted to take action, but Clark stopped him.
"He has been severely injured and should be incapable of fighting again..."
Before Clark could finish speaking, he witnessed a bizarre scene unfold before him. Black mist condensed on Aurora's chest, quickly returning to normal, while black mist also swirled around the nearly twenty-centimeter-long cut on her waist, rapidly healing itself.
"Is this guy immortal? Tagore's attack was enough to exhaust all the divine energy in a Mid-rank God's body, yet that guy has recovered so quickly." Liliath frowned. She had just thought that this battle was a sure thing, but she did not expect to see this scene.
"The only way to eliminate members of the Death Legion is through brute force. Because no matter what injuries they suffer, they can heal unless they're crushed to pieces." The Sea Emperor's words were far from good news. "I anticipated this outcome. My request for Clark's help was simply to buy some more time. Hopefully, Bucknell and the Federal Government outside will react quickly."
"Bu Luo, why don't you go up and help too?" Lolo Li also frowned slightly. Although she was young, she was very thoughtful from a young age. Moreover, she had heard clearly what Liliath said to Clark just now, and she did not think that Liliath was exaggerating.
"Yes, be careful." Brog nodded. He knew the seriousness of the situation, and his strength wasn't much weaker than Clark's; his Combat Strength was above that of Two-Star High-rank God. Joining the battle would be a boost.
With a light touch of his feet, he instantly appeared in the midst of the battle, joining the siege of Aurora.
After staring at the battlefield for a while, Lolo Li walked to Liliath's side and transmitted her Way of Sound, "You know a lot about that thing called the Death Evil Sword. Can that sword repair his injuries indefinitely?"
Seeing Aurora recover from her injuries instantly, Lolo Li had an ominous feeling.
"You figured it out..." Liliath nodded with a wry smile.
"Are there any other solutions? Does that guy have any weaknesses?" Lolo Li asked somewhat unwillingly.
"When you encounter members of the Death Legion, the only way to annihilate them is to crush them with violence and reduce them to dust. Otherwise, they will keep regenerating." Liliath shook her head helplessly.
"If that's the case, we need to figure out how to escape and where to escape to as soon as possible." Lolo Li frowned; Liliath's answer was the last thing she wanted to hear. She was a smart girl, and she knew very well that if Aurora could keep healing her injuries, Clark and the others would eventually be worn down. At that point, with Aurora's strength, this ruin would become a massacre, and the others would have no power to resist.
Lolo Li wasn't worried about her own safety, because she had Duncan's will to protect her, but she didn't want to see all of her father's men perish. After all, it was she who insisted on coming to the Helen.
"Lily, that little girl is right," Sea Emperor suddenly spoke again. "If Clark and the others can't hold on, we'll have no choice but to run. And the safest place in this ruin is actually the most dangerous place. The closest thing to us is this Black Tower. If Clark and the others can't hold on, lead everyone into the Black Tower as soon as possible!"
On the battlefield of the four, Aurora, though strong, was no match for the combined strength of Clark and his two companions. She was completely overwhelmed by them, and one wound after another appeared on her body, but they quickly disappeared under the influence of the Death Evil Sword.
Clark and his two companions appeared to have the upper hand, but in reality, they were suffering in silence. No matter how much effort they expended to leave wounds on their opponent, he never stopped repairing them, healing even the largest wounds in the blink of an eye. Most importantly, their opponent remained at peak condition, showing no signs of fatigue.
The battle lasted for another two hours. Suddenly, Tagore withdrew from the battle. His body began to shrink rapidly, and he weakly leaped onto Liliath's shoulder, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep.
Clark and Brog suddenly felt immense pressure...
