692. The Remaining Participants

By the time Diarmuid and Orochimaru had joined the battlefield, Itachi Uchiha had completely lost hope.

A desperate struggle, the blade shattered, and a Badge emerged.

This time, it was truly over.

Until the very last moment, his eyes held nothing but regret and immense wariness toward Orochimaru. It could be said that ever since he had joined the event, he had acted cautiously and resorted to every means possible. He never expected to fall at the very end to Orochimaru.

After Iskandar withdrew from the event, Orochimaru also kept his word and returned Waver's soul to Iskandar.

"Your class probably can't open resurrection items, right?" Orochimaru rasped with a laugh. "I can introduce you to someone. She was once my companion, and her name is Tsunade. Her class can open basic Resurrection Coins—they're among the most perfect resurrection items."

"Good." Iskandar nodded and spoke very straightforwardly. "You won this time. Next time, Waver will defeat you himself."

"I'll look forward to it." Orochimaru's figure slowly faded into the haze.

In this battle, he had achieved a complete victory.

Not only had he eliminated the dangerous Itachi Uchiha, but he had also removed a series of competitors. There were now very few competitors left.

Then the most dangerous one was probably Konan.

Orochimaru thought of Konan and the two people beside her. There were three of them, while he only had two. They had no advantage in a head-on confrontation.

The Destiny Stage slowly dissipated.

The onlookers did not actually know what had happened in detail, but they did know that their king had not been overthrown and had even gained an army of nonhumans.

That was truly a sorrowful matter.

At this point in the event, only seven people still possessed the qualifications to participate.
