The speed of this arrow was so fast that it couldn’t be captured by the naked eye. Although Emlyn had shed his infant form and gained significant strength, his entire fighting power came from the evil ghost. So, whether in speed or strength, he couldn’t compare to Edmund in his Zerg King form. Just as the arrow was about to touch his skin…
Emlyn suddenly felt a strong intent to kill surging towards his face, and he anxiously raised his head, only to see the sharp arrow pointed at him.
“Boom!” Emlyn froze on the spot, unsure of what to do. He wanted to dodge the arrow, but the overwhelming pressure from the arrow made him unable to move an inch.
In that moment, Emlyn truly felt the approach of death. The rest of Ember Squad watched in horror, as if they had already anticipated what was going to happen.
Especially Fatso, whose face was already filled with sorrow. But just when everyone thought Emlyn was about to meet a tragic end, they suddenly heard a sound of something tearing through the air.
David opened a rift in space with his hand, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Emlyn. He reached out and effortlessly grabbed the massive arrow. The oppressive aura that emanated from the arrow shattered as soon as he arrived.
Feeling the air clear around him, Emlyn finally opened his eyes and saw David’s back. He knew that David had saved him. The expression of someone who had narrowly escaped death appeared on his face, and at the same time, his gaze towards Edmund was filled with anger.
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that David had arrived in time. Otherwise, Emlyn would likely be lying there lifeless.
“Hmm?” Edmund, seeing his attack effortlessly thwarted by David, vibrated his wings and glared fiercely at him. David held the massive arrow in his hand and with a slight squeeze, the arrow made of refined iron crumbled into dust.
“Have you asked for my permission to kill him?,” David retorted, looking at Edmund with disdain. He knew that Emlyn was no match for Edmund. That’s why he had allowed Emlyn to test Edmund’s strength by putting himself in danger. Now, in his eyes, Edmund had indeed become stronger.
However, David was not afraid. Clive had died at Edmund’s hands, and he wouldn’t allow anyone else to die here. He also knew that only he could stand as a true opponent to Edmund. So, he stepped forward without hesitation.
Listening to David’s words, Edmund’s golden wings trembled more frequently, as if mocking David’s words: “I said before, here, I can kill anyone I want. You’re just a foolish human in my eyes. With a mere flick of my finger, I can make your soul scatter.”
Edmund glared at David and spoke harshly once again: “Hmph! An arrogant fool!” David, however, paid no attention to Edmund’s words. Instead, he glanced at him and lightly struck the ground with the Staff of the Wasteland.
“Boom, boom, boom!” The entire ground immediately emitted a deep sound, and the staff in David’s hand emitted a dazzling light. This light was particularly bright, as if it contained some powerful unknown force. Combined with David’s spatial abilities, this light in the void seemed to move like a serpent, disappearing and reappearing.
Continuing on, David raised his head and looked at Edmund. “Today, I will let you taste the power of the human race. I swear by my name, David, I won’t let you live!”
As these words left David’s lips, his eyes suddenly turned crimson, resembling the red glow in the apocalyptic sky. The light emitted from the Staff of the Wasteland also turned a murderous shade of crimson. David raised his hand, forming a clenched fist. “Absolute Zero!”
“Crack!” The surrounding air immediately froze, and Edmund, sensing David’s unleashed powers, quickly concealed his exposed body within his massive carapace.
At this moment, David made his move! He was like a shooting star traversing the galaxies, moving at a speed beyond the speed of light, charging towards Edmund.
Edmund, who was busy dealing with the freezing air around him, felt David’s intense killing intent approaching. He raised his head in panic. “So… fast!” Watching a fleeting blur in the void, Edmund was caught off guard.
“First Strike! For Clive’s vengeance!” David’s voice, like thunder, echoed before his figure even materialized from the void. .
Edmund hastily looked in the direction of the voice. He saw the Staff of the Wasteland descending upon him like a planet, radiating a crimson light that resembled the roar of a demon.
Edmund was shocked and desperately flapped his wings to disperse the ice that had formed around him. He also began moving his massive insectoid body in an attempt to evade David’s attack. However, David’s speed was simply too fast, leaving him with no chance to react. Edmund exerted all his strength to slightly tilt his colossal insectoid head.
In the next moment, the Staff of the Wasteland struck down like a falling star, fiercely hitting Edmund’s carapace. A series of sparks erupted upon impact, and Edmund felt as if he had been thrown from an altitude of billions of meters. The pain was excruciating. He struggled to activate his wings once again, managing to escape to the side just in time, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow from David’s staff.
However, he hadn’t even caught his breath when he heard David’s resounding shout, “Second Strike! To avenge all the living beings killed for you.”
Edmund, still experiencing intense pain, once again raised his head in alarm. The shadow of the Staff of the Wasteland appeared before his eyes.
“Boom!” Another heavy blow! This time, Edmund felt as if all his internal organs were about to be shattered. His once-proud defensive carapace began showing small cracks under this attack.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! My carapace has absolute defense against all living creatures. How can a mere human hurt me?” Edmund exclaimed as he staggered to the side. He was not wrong; ordinary creatures would have no chance against him. However, his current opponent was David, a terrifying being who had long surpassed the ordinary, becoming the new king of the Wasteland world.
