Chapter 862 Defeated
Chapter 862 Defeated
Emery turned to look at Atlas and the half-machine acolyte just stood there staring at him without any slight expression on his face. This made him suspicious and wondered what his intentions were which he later asked the half-man half-machine figure,
"More of your friends coming for more fights?"
The man, on the other hand only says one word, "No," which only served to make Emery even more perplexed, although also quite inquisitive about the figures who were coming to the island.
A moment later, Emery was able to get a better read on the four people who were flying toward the island. He was relieved when he later found out that he actually recognized all four figures. Therefore, he decided to dispel his fey transformation and return to his human form.
A little while later, the four came falling from the sky. There were three men and one woman in the group. All of them were dressed in the same attire as the others, the privileged acolyte uniforms.
Emery knew the four of them well. The first man was his earth friend, Julian, and following him, the much familiar red-haired girl, Annara. Next to her was Yunxiao, the spear expert, and lastly, perhaps most unexpectedly, Diyoo, the Demon Nunchaku also arrived with them.
He was aware that Yunxiao had a good relationship with Annara as they were partners during the last game, and he quickly assumed that Diyoo came with the same reason. Hence, he was pretty sure they were coming with good intentions, especially given the presence of Julian among them.
"Emery! What has just happened here!?" Said Julian in surprise.
The red-haired girl, on the other hand, did not seem to be surprised in the least. When she discovered that Emery had rendered his opponents unconscious, she quickly laughed with amusement and looked at him with a teasing smile on her face as she chuckled.
"My.. my… it appears that we are worried for nothing.. our savage acolyte here could deal with them by himself," she said.
Julian briefly explained that in fact, Annara told him about Bradley's plan to make trouble. They were worried and came as soon as possible to help. Yet to their surprise, who knows if Emery would be able to stop them by himself.
"How strong are you really now Emery?!" Asked Julian who was looking at him with an inquisitive expression. Evidently, he was still in disbelief that Emery had been able to defeat five opponents on his own.
Right now they could witness the sight of three Nephilims tied to a tree, as well as two powerful opponents who were already lying on the ground defeated leaving only Bradley and Atlas.
Apparently, Yunxiao was familiar with Fei Ling as they both came from the same planet and had been rivals ever since. Upon seeing the girl lying defeated on the ground, he gave a nod of acknowledgment to Emery before he came to approach the girl to check her condition.
As for Abrafo, despite the fact that this earth acolyte was never known to be particularly strong, he was known as a formation expert. So far, not even magus could easily escape his famous trap.
"I guess you defeated him before he was able to trap you, didn't you?" Asked Julian, still in disbelief.
Emery could only respond with a nod and a smile, but Ananra gave another teasing smile at him. She was well aware of Emery's undoubted strength, and it appeared that she was the only one who believed the fact that Emery had defeated the six acolytes alone.
Diyoo, who had been deafeningly quiet, suddenly cursed and showed his irritation.
"This is not possible!! You!! You!! From now on, you are going to be my Rival!! Me, Diyoo!!" Afterward, Diyoo quickly took out his orbiter and flew away in rage, presumably he was going to train some more. As Emery's opponent in the previous duel, it seemed he just realized another depth in Emery's strength.
At this moment, Bradley had stood up and looked even more pissed than ever. He knew he had already been defeated, and out of shame, he was about to leave quietly. However, he was halted by a figure who was standing in front of him.
It was the half machine acolyte, Atlas.
Bradley was angry and he stared at Atlas with a ragged breath. He want to blame him, so he shouted in anger at the half-machine acolyte,
"You!! If only you joined us.. we might be able to win!!"
Atlas, on the other hand, just stood there without showing any expressions. He narrowed his gaze at the enraged man and said, "You have lost, confirm defeat."
"Urrgghh! You! You damned broken robot!!"
The fire magus was annoyed, but he did not appear to dare to mess with Atlas. On the opposite side, Emery suddenly received a piece of information on his bracelets.
[You have won the duel]
[Rank 20 - Emery Ambrose (9)]
The fire magus glared at Emery to the point of spitting on the ground before he started to float and was ready to fly away from the island.
However, to his surprise, before he could even move a bit, Atlas touched him with one finger and the man was suddenly electrocuted and fell to his knee.
"Arrghh!! What the fuck are you doing!!" The man yelled in pain.
Atlas calmly said, "You owe the man 40 spirit foundation pills."
"What!! No!! If you think I would…."
Before Bradley could finish his word, Atlas's finger touched the fire magus again.
Zaapppp!!!
"Aargggh… what.. do you!! Fukk!!"
Zaaappp!!
The fire magus was now furious, yet Atlas didn't budge a bit and showed no sign of relenting. Atlas didn't even let the fire magus gather power to counter.
"Urggh!! Alright! Alright!!"
As he had given up and felt ashamed, Bradley immediately threw out a box and then flew away while cursing endlessly.
During this time, Emery who was witnessing the situation was confused by what was going on.
Atlas came to approach the group and gave the box to Emery who was still in confusion. He opened the box and saw 40 pieces of the spirit foundation pills inside it.
"This.. this…"
The red-haired girl was chuckling when she said, "Dont be confused… Where do you think I receive my information from?"
It was hard to believe, he thought that Atlas came for revenge. To answer his confusion Emery asked the half-machine acolyte, "Why? Why do you help me?"
Annara, unable to contain her excitement, immediately interrupted the half-machine acolyte and said,
"Emery, let me introduce him. Atlas III, the third member of our midtest group."
"What!!??"
