Inside the half-collapsed basement, Su Xiao and Stan stared at each other, while Nairoi stood at the basement entrance.
Nearly all of Blood Gate's members in the Holy Grail World had been wiped out. Only Stan and Nairoi remained, yet Stan showed no rage. It seemed that even if the sky fell, he could calmly accept it.
It had to be said that Su Xiao had not defeated Blood Gate at its full strength, because they lacked the brains of the team—the kind of super schemer that Ao was. Stan's wisdom was not lacking, but like Su Xiao, he belonged to the force-oriented camp. He was still somewhat inferior to those super schemers.
However, no factor could make up for the fact that Blood Gate had failed. Besides, Stan still had a chance. As long as he killed Su Xiao, this major threat, he could consider rebuilding Blood Gate after returning to Reincarnation Paradise. Of course, that would be extremely difficult as well. Blood Gate had many enemies, and given the Adventurer Team's current situation, many hostile Adventurer Teams would certainly come seeking revenge.
The basement was deathly silent. Su Xiao stood motionless with his long saber in hand because he could afford to wait. As soon as A'm arrived, he could help Su Xiao hold off either Stan or Nairoi, allowing Su Xiao to kill the other in a short time.
Su Xiao could afford to wait, but Stan and Nairoi clearly could not. Black-gold energy surged from Stan's body. Several metal plates detached from his chest, and an invisible pulse spread outward.
When the pulse swept over Su Xiao, he felt a stinging sensation across his skin. Invisible gravitational forces appeared around him, pulling his body from all directions as if trying to tear him limb from limb.
