Essence (Continued)

The gunshots were like lightning; William fired countless shots, striking the increasingly hardened shell of "Antares" multiple times.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Sparks flew out in large numbers at the junction of the gun and armor. The armor, which was originally as brittle as paper in front of Black Thunder, was now actually able to vaguely block William's gunshots.

Awooooo!

It swung its pincers and tail even more frantically, indiscriminately attacking its surroundings.

Sometimes, its tail spiky attacks even hit its own body.

This indiscriminate, rapid attack meant that even William couldn't dance in the center of the battlefield anymore.

He could only push off with his back foot, and his body retreated about ten meters in an instant.

With William withdrawing from the battlefield, "Antares" also ceased its ferocious attack.

As the attack ceased, the dust and smoke that had been kicked up gradually cleared the field of vision.

The enormous single eye no longer seemed to have the same ferocious look it had before; instead, it gave William the feeling of looking at him with a smug gaze.

His eyes seemed to be telling him, "I'm not afraid of your Black Thunder anymore."

Your attacks can no longer harm me.

"Did I go too far?"

Even William now has to admit that his attacks are less effective after "Antares" abandoned storing energy and focused entirely on enhancing itself.

It's not accurate to say that the penetration effect of Black Lightning is bad; the penetration effect still exists.

However, it's worth noting that "Antares's " recovery rate is now exceeding the rate at which he inflicts damage on it.

"I really don't want to go into a war of attrition!"

William twirled his gun, let out a soft sigh, and the Power of Annihilation erupted once more.

As soon as he finished speaking, William's figure had completely disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, the gleaming blood-jade spear once again pierced towards the now fully recovered single eye.

"Can his speed actually increase?"

Artemis's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in astonishment.

William's agile movements in the middle of the battlefield had already amazed him enough.

But based on his current speed, she believed William was already faster than any of the top-tier adventurers she knew who were skilled in speed.

Of course, this also includes the vice-captain of the Freya Familia.

"The Chariot of the Goddess" Allen

"Of course!"

"Although I don't know exactly what the effects of the enchanted magic on William are."

"However, according to my reliable sources, William's agility and magic power have both exceeded the normal values for adventurers."

Hermes stood with his hands in his pockets, looking completely relaxed, showing no signs of the tension of being on the battlefield.

"How did you know that? This should be something only members of the Familia should know!"

Artemis touched her delicate, round nose, and then a possibility came to mind.

His initially kind gaze gradually turned into one of disgust.

"You wouldn't have used your despicable methods to develop some undercover agents within the Loki Familia, would you?!"

"How could you think of me like that!"

Hermes made a gesture of surrender with his hands clasped.

"Besides, if I dared to plant an informant within Loki's vengeful Familia, wouldn't I have a death wish!"

"What happened?!"

Artemis's eyes remained cold, and although there was still some doubt in her gaze as she looked at Hermes, it had mostly dispelled.

"It was Loki who revealed it himself; he's probably trying to build up William's image or something!"

"Alright, now you can put your doubts to rest!"

Hermes explained helplessly that he hadn't expected Artemis to have so little trust in him.

"Hmph, I'll ask Loki for confirmation when I get back."

"If it's fake, then you'd better pray for good luck!"

"Hey, I've already said that! Are you still going to say something else?!"

"Shut up! Think about all the filthy things you did back in Heaven."

"I will not trust you in the slightest until I have factual evidence to prove it."

"Yes, yes!"

Perhaps Hermes had grown accustomed to Artemis's attitude!

He didn't say much, just responded twice.

Besides, the matter was true, so he had no reason to feel guilty.

"However, I wonder if William can hold on!"

Once the two quieted down, they resumed their discussion of the battle situation in the central area.

There wasn't a single monster around them now.

Firstly, this is thanks to the efforts of these Familia members.

Secondly, this is thanks to the fact that these Black Scorpion now have absolutely no interest in either of them, and all their attention is focused on William.

"Have no idea!"

The goddess murmured, the current battle situation feeling to her like the ups and downs of a divine life.

From initial distrust, to the joy of seeing William brutally suppress "Antares", and then to the heartache of "Antares's " rampage subsiding.
