Somewhat surprised, the Bronze Skull Beast hovered in the air, its gaze fixed on the figure below.
The opponent's arm was trembling slightly, seemingly from the direct impact of its attack.
But that's all!
Its attack just now failed to inflict any effective wounds on its opponent!
"Interesting. Is it possible to achieve this level of skill even when the Origin Power is affected?"
The Bronze Skull Beast looked at the figure below with a hint of interest in its eyes.
Although it didn't believe that the attack it had just delivered could kill its opponent.
But it's not like the opponent, a mere Fifth Tier being, could have blocked it so completely intact.
This human, even compared to the rest of humanity, must be incredibly powerful, right? But...
"Laugh--"
A sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
The Bronze Skull Beast watched with amusement the figure that was slowly rising and staring intently at it.
It did not act immediately.
Firstly, the other party's performance piqued its interest slightly; secondly, even killing just this human should have been a substantial gain; and thirdly...
It raised its eyes and glanced into the distance.
Several figures could be seen in the air, intently watching this place from the distant border.
With those equally strong humans still alive, it naturally had even less of a hurry.
Turning its gaze away, the Bronze Skull Beast looked at the figure that was now at the same height as itself and laughed:
"You humans are really something. When something like this happens, do you always send the strong to their deaths?"
"Perhaps, after all, there are always some things in this world that are more meaningful!" the human said slowly.
"Meaning? What's the point of this behavior where the strong come out to their deaths and the weak run away?" The Bronze Skull Beast sneered.
There was no immediate reply; the human slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
You may not understand, but perhaps this is the meaning of our existence!
"One generation after another, the torch is passed on..."
The Bronze Skull Beast smirked.
It couldn't understand the meaning of the last two sentences, but it roughly knew that this human thought what he was doing was meaningful.
"A foolish act. This world is a dog-eat-dog world. The weak are destined to be dominated. Sacrifice the weak to save the strong?"
"Laugh--"
Without any attempt to conceal it, the Bronze Skull Beast sneered disdainfully.
Maybe!
The human gave a wry smile, then seemed to remember something and looked at it.
"By the way, sir, do you know how to leave this space?"
"Heh, you're about to die, why are you still concerned about this?" The Bronze Skull Beast narrowed its eyes as it looked at the human.
Whether it's to stall for time or for whatever else, it doesn't mind chatting with the other person.
After all, it was very satisfied with the entire image the other party had projected from the moment it appeared until now.
It's quite powerful, but far from posing a threat; when opinions differ, it won't argue with it directly; and now, it even respectfully addresses it as "Sir"...
To be honest, this human in front of it greatly improved its impression of other humans.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was human, it would have wanted to recruit it to its service!
In response to its question, the human replied with a nonchalant air.
"At least you know how to get out before you die, right..."
The Bronze Skull Beast nodded in agreement.
It stared at the human for a long while, then opened its mouth.
His expression, which had seemed about to speak, suddenly changed into a sneer.
"Ha, do you think I'd tell you?"
Upon hearing the words, a look of astonishment flashed across the human's face.
Then, it transformed into a relieved smile.
"Yes, that's true, after all, I'm an enemy of the lord..."
As he spoke, the human slowly raised his long sword.
Then, he gently stroked it with his palm, and the shimmering white Origin Power enveloped it.
After doing all this, the human looked over with a relieved expression.
"In that case, please, sir, attack."
There was no response; the Bronze Skull Beast remained suspended in mid-air.
It stared blankly at the human who was watching it with a smile on his lips, and a pang of guilt suddenly flashed through its heart.
"Damn it, if I hadn't already figured out a way out myself, I would have told this human!"
"I've only ever heard the Lion King say that this is where Jörmungandr imprisoned the World Tree!"
" Jörmungandr? The World Tree?"
" Distortion? Order?"
"Is it only possible to get out from these two most extreme places?"
"But neither of these two seems safe!"
"Speaker Jörmungandr probably wouldn't consider how these ants would get out after coming in!"
" The World Tree... if the other side sees it, they'd probably want to beat it to a pulp!!"
"Damn it, is there no other way to get out?"
The Bronze Skull Beast mentally grumbled in annoyance.
Then he looked up and stared at the human opposite him.
Looking at it, it saw the human with a smile on his lips.
"Damn it, if this guy weren't human, I could have really recruited him!"
"At least, this guy is better than that Barbarian Bear guy no matter how you look at it!"
Without lingering, the Bronze Skull Beast flew forward.
This time, it didn't hold back.
As the figure flashed by, it carried the whistling sound of the wind.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Like a cannonball exploding, the roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
In the air above the border, several figures stood there, gazing anxiously into the distance.
There, two figures kept crossing paths.
but...
Time and again, the frail figure was sent flying backward.
" Captain Shen, is... really there no problem?" A Fourth Tier warrior looked in that direction and asked with concern in his voice.
He couldn't help but worry; after all, judging from the situation over there, it didn't seem like an evenly matched contest.
"Okay!" Yu Yanhui, looking at the figure beside her with concern in her eyes. " Sister Zhaoran, should we go over and help?"
There was no immediate response; Lin Zhaoran stared intently at that spot.
Captain Shen misjudged the situation. Did the Bronze Skull Beast actually have more Origin Power available than he thought?
She wasn't entirely sure, but based on the fighting strength that the person and beast over there had demonstrated so far.
If we disregard the Distortion, even if they gathered together, they wouldn't be a match for either of those two figures!
" Sister Zhaoran!"
Yu Yanhui to the side, spoke again.
This time, Lin Zhaoran finally spoke up.
She looked there, took a light breath, and said:
"Trust Captain Shen..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
Time and again, they sent that human flying.
The Bronze Skull Beast flew rapidly through the air, then once again raised its claws and swung them away.
"Bang!"
The human being flew out once again.
but...
Watching the trembling figure continue its flight, the Bronze Skull Beast's lips twitched slightly.
"Damn, is this human really that hard to kill?"
