"Damn it, they didn't choose us!" Stephanie angrily threw a punch to the side, shattering the boulder next to her.
Beside her, Beate, clad in silver armor, calmly stated, "Based on the data model I just created, Bell has the lowest probability of joining our side; this is not surprising."
"Phew... This is troublesome. The musicians will definitely team up with the Thunder Demon to wipe out our northern and western divisions first." Stephanie's face was grim. The competition had barely begun, and her team was already in a dangerous situation.
"There's still a chance, but we need to reunite with Bakeluolie and Doreen from the Western Conference as soon as possible. Doreen is a summoner; give her time to summon enough wolves, and our strength will gradually increase. Also, if I'm going to launch ranged attacks, I need a strong tank, and Bakeluolie can handle that." Beate remained calm, her voice completely still, like a robot.
"Okay, let's do it that way!"
And so, Lancelot and Stell formed an alliance.
Stephanie and Bakeluolie formed an alliance.
Six people on one side and four people on the other, faced off on the east and west sides of the Yellow Sand Arena.
In the stands, there was much discussion, with spectators from the western and northern divisions appearing quite worried.
In contrast, the audiences in the other three regions reacted in the complete opposite way, beaming with joy.
"Despicable! Outnumbering you! Let's have a one-on-one fight!"
"Haha, a ten-player free-for-all isn't just about strength; alliances and strategies are equally important."
"Don't panic, there's still a chance to turn the tide. As long as the front line can hold on, Doreen and Beate both deal more damage the longer the battle goes on."
"Go, Thunder Demon! Crush them!"
On the east side, beside the boulder, Lancelot and Stell are discussing tactics.
Ultimately, they made a decision.
Lancelot and Jimmy face off against Bakeluolie.
Blade Bell versus Stephanie.
Possessing kinetic energy absorption capabilities, it restrains Phoebe, a mechanical-type, from entangled with Beate.
Musician Stell provides support from the rear, while Rongside handles healing.
The two teams divided the work and worked together, first eliminating the four players from the west and north.
On the other side.
Bakeluolie was very easy to talk to and readily agreed to be in the front row, carrying the load at the front.
However, he stated that Doreen must be at the very back, protected by the other three simultaneously.
Stephanie had no objection; both agreed.
After the two teams reached a consensus, the battle broke out.
The distance of several hundred meters was quickly covered. Lancelot leaped swiftly across the boulder, leaving a trail of blue afterimages. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the majestic, elephant-like Bakeluolie.
The latter also looked over at almost the same time, and the barbarian elephant put away its friendliness and revealed its ruthless side.
"Let's fight!"
Bakeluolie was exceptionally wild. His already enormous body swelled up like an inflatable balloon, reaching a height of four or five meters. His limbs were as thick as pillars, and his skin became rough and turned brownish-red.
A series of dense and complex black runes emerged, carrying an aura of mystery and unfathomable depth.
Lancelot narrowed his eyes, exchanged a glance with Jimmy, and then the two of them flanked him from the left and right.
"Strong Fist!"
With a low shout, a terrifying fist force tore through the air, vibrated the air, and with a thunderous explosion, struck Bakeluolie's body directly.
Almost simultaneously, Jimmy's twin blades struck the thick, wrinkled, brown hide.
However, to their astonishment, as Bakeluolie's skin rippled like liquid, the layers of force were rapidly dissipated. Even the sharp blade energy that Jimmy had unleashed was completely neutralized, disappearing like mud into the sea, as if it had fallen into Black Hole.
"What do you think all this fat on me is for?" Bakeluolie patted his belly and laughed heartily, his two fists, as big as millstones, slamming down with force.
Lancelot and Jimmy quickly dodged, and with two loud thuds, yellow sand flew everywhere, leaving two deep craters in the ground.
"This guy's defense is too strong. We can't take him down anytime soon. Jimmy, go to the other side and deal with Stephanie with Bell. I'll handle him!" Lancelot said in a deep voice.
Jimmy nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
But Bakeluolie seemed to have anticipated this scene. With a roar, the black curse marks on his body wriggled like worms and finally leaped out of his body, transforming into chains of curse marks that were somewhere between reality and illusion, shooting into Jimmy's chest.
Jimmy's expression changed drastically; his defenses were completely ineffective, and he couldn't even touch the chains.
However, he soon realized that the chains did not seem to cause him any harm at all; their only purpose was to drag him beside Bakeluolie.
"I never expected your cursed seal to have this effect!" Lancelot stared directly into Bakeluolie's eyes.
The latter patted his belly and laughed, "I racked my brains for a long time to create this move, and I've been holding back it all this time, just so I could use it in the final stage of the final test. Thunder Demon, that Jimmy is no match for me one-on-one, do you dare to leave? Hahaha!"
"Heh~"
Lancelot lowered his eyelids. Indeed, as Bakeluolie had said, Jimmy was being dragged along, and so was he, unless he disregarded Jimmy.
With his mind racing, Lancelot pondered a way to break the deadlock.
We can't rely on our side for the time being; Bakeluolie's defense is too strong and difficult to break through in a short period of time.
Therefore, the only way to break through this barrier is to focus on Stephanie.
Thinking of this, Lancelot turned around and shouted, "Rongside, ignore this and focus all your efforts on treating Bell so he can deal with Stephanie as soon as possible!"
"Understood!" Rongside's expression turned solemn, and a beam of golden Holy Light shone down on Bell from the holy Angel with its wings spread above its head.
"Go all out! Don't worry about your defense anymore, Stephanie can't hurt you!" Rongside shouted, very confident in his healing abilities.
Feeling the immense life force surging within him, Bell was pleasantly surprised and looked at Stephanie with amusement, "Ready to be eliminated?"
"Arrogant!" Stephanie snapped. Although she was wary, her pride wouldn't allow her to back down, especially with Doreen and Beate behind her.
Clang clang clang!!--
With the blessing of Holy Light, Bell unleashed his offensive prowess to the fullest, wielding his twin swords at supersonic speeds, and his attack speed continued to surge.
A vast, blinding sea of sharp blades enveloped Stephanie, who gritted her teeth and endured the onslaught, occasionally retaliating and striking Bell.
But the moment the injury appeared, it was healed by Holy Light, Bell was completely unharmed.
Not only that, Stell also unleashed a barrage of spells, with wind blades sweeping across, fireballs exploding, and water arrows piercing, in conjunction with Bell's attacks, bombarding Stephanie relentlessly.
Mechanical Apostle Beate was entangled with Phoebe and couldn't provide fire support.
The situation is deteriorating.
