Everyone Assembled

Boom

A huge mass of earth and rocks was cleaved apart by Sengruier, then he charged forward, swinging his halberd to split all the flying earth and rocks in half.

Zack used the stickiness on his hands to hold the soil and rocks in place, using himself as a slingshot to launch the soil and rocks like cannonballs. The tentacles beneath him slowly rotated and compressed, like a taut spring.

The next moment, Zack's hands stuck to two huge boulders, and with a release of the tentacles beneath him, Zack himself flew towards Sengruier like a giant missile, while his hands remained glued behind his back, stretching out continuously.

When Zack's hand reached its limit, the force was fully charged, and the two large rocks were propelled, crashing towards Sengruier even before Zack's body.

"Well done!" Sengruier's face was calm, but his eyes seemed to be shining with excitement. The red behind him Integration into the halberd, and he used all his strength and spiritual light to strike out fiercely.

The red phantom, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, sliced everything in two. Zack's body was cleaved in two, and the phantom carried away all the green fluid from his body, leaving him looking like a dried-up corpse as he crashed in front of Sengruier.

Using his halberd to support himself, he looked at Zack, who resembled a dried-up corpse, and smiled with delight, just as he had survived killing yet another opponent ten years ago. It must be said that the Sengruier incident ten years ago instilled in him a deep-rooted belief that only the victors could survive, and now he had won again.

The next moment, a layer of dark green flames ignited at the broken ends where Zack had been severed. The two flames merged and transformed into a new entity, with a large amount of Shadow Magic surging in, giving Zack new vitality.

"Is this even possible?" Sengruier smiled silently. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting. He could only support himself and watch as Zack revived once again, until Zack came to his side and raised his fist.

"Is that power your own?" Sengruier asked with a grin.

"No, someone helped me through this mask." Zack wasn't lying; he answered his question seriously.

"So, I won?"

"Yes, you won!" Zack said confidently, his fist exploding out and smashing Sengruier's head. His armor disappeared, leaving only his halberd supporting his headless corpse.

Zack turned to walk away, but heard a clang as Sengruier's halberd fell to the ground. However, his headless body miraculously remained standing. After glancing at Sengruier, Zack turned back, and a tentacle beneath him coiled up the halberd and placed it in Zack's hand.

Nodding to Sengruier, Zack carried his halberd and walked to the other side. Zack could sense that his opponent had never lost before, because for Sengruier, losing meant death, and this time, even though he died, he had still won.

The black mist spreading from the forest grew increasingly dense, while the twenty-odd spirit envoys stood back to back, warily watching the black monsters around them. These black monsters were composed of black mist, and even if they were dispersed by attacking spirits, they would reassemble within a few seconds.

The Twins stood to one side, neither attacking nor retreating, until a green figure carrying a halberd walked over from a distance. The faces of those present grew increasingly pale, and the black mist monster made way for Zack.

"Zack, let me explain..." One of them trembled as if he wanted to say something. Before they were surrounded, they had been watching the battle between Zack and Sengruier. After they were surrounded, they stopped watching, but Zack came over carrying the opponent's halberd. The outcome of the battle was already obvious.

But before that person could finish speaking, Zack cleaved him in two with his halberd, smashing him into a bloody pulp.

"Kill him, he won't let us go..." the others shouted in fear, urging the spirit messengers to charge forward with their weapons, but judging from their trembling appearance, how much fighting power did they actually possess?

With another slash, the upper bodies of the two charging men were severed, blood splattering everywhere. Red light once again emanated from the Sangeriel's Halberd, and the blood stained Zack's body red as well.

The tentacles beneath him were like vines, taking root in the corpses he had killed, absorbing their nutrients and making Zack's body stronger and stronger. In the end, only Lansa remained as the spirit messenger in the arena.

"Zack, I'm disappointed in the Cordila Group. Those high-ranking spirit envoys don't take us seriously at all. I'm tired. I'm leaving the Cordila Group to follow you, okay?" Lansa said sadly, looking at the corpses scattered on the ground. The first part of her words was indeed believable.

"Not good!" With a single strike, Lansa was cleaved in two, her blood splattering all over Zack. The Sangeriel's Halberd in his hand suddenly emitted a crimson light again, resonating with Zack.

Meanwhile, the tentacles beneath Zack withdrew from the mummified corpse. Having absorbed a large amount of blood, Zack resonated with the halberd in his hand, his body turning a dark purplish-red. The mask on his face seemed to acknowledge Zack, transforming into energy that entered Zack's body and forming a roaring mask tattoo on his right arm.

"That's great, we don't have to lift a finger." A flippant voice came from behind. Zack and the Twins looked over and saw four people appear in the distance.

They were all wearing the same uniform, and except for one person, each of them had a very distinctive style. The person who just said that sentence was the one with an "A" tattoo on his face. The other three were a bald, muscular man who was over two meters tall, a woman with long, wavy hair wearing a cape, and the last one...

He stood in the middle, dressed in an ordinary, conventional uniform, with an extremely ordinary Asian face and a flat-top haircut that had no distinguishing features. In anime or TV series, this kind of person probably wouldn't even qualify as an extra; he could barely be considered a passerby.

His gaze wasn't on Zack and the Twins, but fixed on the depths of the forest. Only after hearing the A-faced man's words did he turn his gaze back to Zack and say, "You're quite strong. Want to join A Team?"

In the past, Zack would probably have happily agreed and called his girlfriend to share the good news. But now, he patted the tattoo on his right arm and said, "Sorry, I've already sold my life to someone else."

"What a pity, Cortel." The ordinary-looking man shook his head, then turned to the bald, muscular man beside him and said, "Those black mists amplify their power. Go to the river and take care of the source of the black mist."

"Jasmine, A, these two are yours," the ordinary-looking man said, then walked step by step into the forest.

"Yes, Captain Wu Jianguo." The other three nodded and replied, accepting the order.
