Chapter 199 Everlasting Vs Exalted 4
Now, it was only Liberty standing alone in front of Hiro. Unexpectedly, the girl raised her gun at Hiro with her hands slightly trembling.
“I’m not going to kill you, but can you please leave this area, Libe?” Hiro lowered his sword. He never thought of killing Liberty, even for her clone version in the daily battle arena.
However, Liberty seemed to think differently. The girl walked up to Hiro with the gun still raised in a perfect position. Hiro looked at her with a softened gaze, both of his hands raised in the air.
“Nightfall, what are you doing? Kill her!” NightCrawler exclaimed, feeling frustrated because he saw his leader seemed to be giving up in front of a beautiful girl. The girl was the opponent, who had killed many of his friends before.
“She killed many of us!” he added furiously. He still couldn’t accept it, even though he didn’t dare to approach them because he was one of the victims who fell at the hands of Liberty before.
“You won’t kill me, Libe,” Hiro said in a calm tone. He was sure of what was inside the girl’s head. Her hands trembled even more when her distance from Hiro grew closer.
“I’m sorry, Hiro. But, this is a competition.”
Clank!
Before Liberty pulled the trigger, Hiro quickly restrained her hand and made the girl drop the gun on the ground. He also twisted her body and locked it from behind.
“No, I will not let you kill me. I don’t have my cleric here,” Hiro whispered while pressing his lips against Liberty’s earlobe, which felt cold and stiff because he was too close.
“But don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”.
Liberty didn’t struggle and tried to be free from Hiro, instead the girl seemed to enjoy it when Hiro locked her body tightly in front of the many Everlasting girls who looked at her with envious eyes. Liberty threw a lopsided smile at them.
“Uhmmm Hiro, have you told them you’re mine?” The girl actually talked about something unexpected and made Hiro confused.
“What? What did I do it for?”
“Hummm… it seems they like you, and I’m not happy to see them. Should we just get married so everyone knows you’re mine?” she said in a serious tone. Hiro really couldn’t understand what the girl was thinking. However, he didn’t have much time to talk to her.
[Noah: Tower M1 is almost destroyed, tower HP remaining 15%]
[Jacob: Hiro, we need you]
Hiro took out a special item from his inventory after reading the messages that entered his guild chat system.
[Painless Death]
A syringe appeared in Hiro’s left hand. The syringe contained 1 cc of transparent liquid. Hiro had prepared it for a moment like this. He really didn’t want to hurt Liberty, but he had to get rid of her for the time being.
Hiro turned Liberty’s body to face him, then kissed the girl after saying,
“I am sorry for this, Libe. I love you.”
Liberty returned Hiro’s unexpected kiss with passion. The girl didn’t even realize when Hiro stuck the syringe in his hand into the girl’s shoulder and inserted all the liquid into her body.
Hiro could feel Liberty’s body in his embrace gradually turning cold before freezing motionless like a statue, staring at him blankly.
“Who is that girl?” The Everlasting members looked puzzled.
[Tower M1 of Exalted has been destroyed]
[Tower M2 of Exalted is under attack]
Seeing the notification, Hiro immediately gave an order to all Everlasting in the bottom lane, especially the BigShow party, to move to the middle lane and attack all Exalted right away.
Whoosh!
ɴ[0ᴠᴇ]ʟ Hiro dashed back into the darkness, towards the middle lane at full speed before anything bad happened there.
While he was running, the Everlasting members regained control of the crystal flower mining lane, and it made Everlasting’s defense tower in the bottom lane get even stronger. Even the member of Exalted who tried to destroy it couldn’t do anything because the tower’s HP didn’t budge at all.
Hiro arrived in the middle lane at the right time when Ace, Alaric, and Niklaus came back alive, and they actually appeared in the middle lane. Seeing Hiro’s arrival in front of them made their eyes seem to glow up like a predator that had just found its prey.
“Stay focused. I got them!” Hiro shouted at Noah as he passed the man. Noah was the damage dealer, the key to destroying the opponent’s tower.
When Hiro darted into the area of the second tower, or tower M2, Ace’s party immediately shot towards him and surrounded him from all directions. Now, even Dimitri was there.
“What did you do to my sister?” Ace clenched his fist on the hilt of his sword. His brow furrowed with anger.
“Don’t worry, I eliminated her with this thing. She won’t feel any pain.” Hiro said honestly as he lifted the empty syringe.
“I won’t let you win this time.” Ace spoke in a trembling voice. He really had ambitions to beat Hiro. However, this time, he didn’t plan to beat the man alone.
Whoosh!
Clash!
Splat!
[-12,500]
At the same time, the four of them attacked Hiro. Hiro managed to dodge Dimitri’s extremely dangerous Katar poison. He also dodged Alaric’s slash of water, and the spear thrown by Niklaus. However, not for Ace’s attack, who managed to slash his chest until his robe was torn apart.
Hiro staggered backwards, as the excruciating pain could not be avoided. His blood was pouring out profusely.
“Again.” He challenged them without the slightest hesitation.
Splat!
Clank!
Clash!
This time, Hiro managed to dodge all the attacks by continuing to walk backwards from the M2 tower area. He successfully brought the four main Exalted parties away from the tower they should have guarded well. A smile spread across Hiro’s face. Meanwhile, the Everlasting members remained focused on attacking the tower and killing anyone who tried to block their way. They didn’t seem to budge to help Hiro in the slightest, because they believed that Hiro would be able to handle it on his own.
“Again!”
Splat!
[-10,100]
Hiro got another slash wound. This time, it was his face. The attack ripped off part of his cheek, leaving a deep wound.
“Arghh… not my handsome face, but it’s okay, it will recover later,” he said in a calm tone. Hiro still hadn’t raised his sword again. He just dodged and dodged, at the same time moving away from the tower M2.
[Noah: Hang on, NightFall. We almost destroy the M2]
Noah understood that Hiro deliberately tried to divert the Exalted members’ attention, so instead of saying it directly to Hiro in a loud voice, Noah told him through the guild chat, which could be read easily without Exalted knowing about it.
It was all planned. And Hiro was just waiting for the signal.
[Noah: 10% HP of tower M2]
And that was the signal he had been waiting for to draw out his sword and charge forward to attack them back.
Whoosh!
“Phantom,” Hiro muttered as he used his phantom mode skill and blended together into the shadows. The black shadow moved towards Ace, Dimitri, Alaric, and Niklaus. It moved from where they were standing, approaching Ace, who prepared to attack Hiro together with his parties.
However, one thing they did not know. The shadow that was seen shooting towards Ace was not Hiro. It was Cara who had switched places with Hiro in a split second before she bolted forward.
