Alfred was dead.
This battle had made Ye Qiyan understand one fact.
He was not strong enough.
Perhaps his items, modules, and abilities had already surpassed those of many Train Conductors.
But he was still far behind these Top-Level Train Conductors who had accumulated power over extraordinarily long lives.
Alfred was a Vampire, so the power of the Judgment Enforcer had been enough to kill him after the Tear-Carving Sword severely wounded him.
And he had something to protect.
From beginning to end, he had never strayed very far from that heart.
After that heart was poisoned by the Black Nether Fruit, however, the resonance it produced had affected him in turn.
"This sword is pretty good."
Ye Qiyan deactivated his Transcender and Rebellion modes, his skin slightly hot.
The Transcender state consumed mental energy and stamina every second.
Although Ebony had constantly replenished them by plundering the nearby Vampires.
It was ultimately just a drop in the bucket.
[Trick Play] and [Champion Stance].
These two abilities, which could stack with each other and keep growing, were the real reason he had been able to sustain that enormous expenditure in the final instant when he used the Judgment Enforcer.
There really had been so many conditions behind this victory.
There had even been an element of gambling involved.
But he had still won.
The victor was right.
Cool rain fell gently.
It steadily cooled Ye Qiyan's burning body.
Red Tears returned to her original form and came to Ye Qiyan's side, holding that blood-red flower parasol over him.
The instant Alfred died, his powerful familiar beasts had launched suicidal attacks against Ye Qiyan's legions without any hesitation.
Their fighting had been just as brutal. They detonated themselves as death approached, causing considerable trouble for Ye Qiyan's legions as well.
