'William and Philia…they could've saved Maissa and Tiama, they didn't.'
He realized his agreement was just that.
Defeat Xavier together.
But now…
'Ashtarh, are you an idiot? I was telling you from the start. Don't trust her. Now even if you eliminate me, you're still gonna lose.' Xavier's voice sounded in his mind.
At the same time, William approached them and said. "Xavier's defenses are weaker than before, I guess he's also exhausted. Just a second, I can find him."
Sarah and Phillia nodded.
They looked at the location where the three members were eliminated with a complex emotion.
In fact, William didn't join the battle as he thought Maissa could handle it. Of course, he also wanted to preserve his energy. But if she asked him, he wouldn't refuse.
After all, unlike Tiama, someone was attacking her.
But it happened all of a sudden and by the time he was able to react, he could barely slow down Rodey's fist.
It was because of him that Maissa got the chance to execute her space attack. Or her attack would've never come to fruition.
Philia on the other hand saw Tiama and wanted to save him, but it was already too late.
To protect themselves, Xavier must be eliminated.
Then…
'Yes, I am indeed exhausted. I can't win against the four of you. But what about you, Ashtarh?
Didn't we all eliminate Charles just for the sake of having a winning chance?'
Xavier's voice continued to ring in Ashtarh's head.
Ashtarh's eyes fluctuated but his expression didn't change.
'You think you can't betray them because they're your teammates? No! Your teammates are eliminated!
Besides, camaraderie is a two-way street. William had the power to save Maissa, he didn't. Philia was just watching Tiama's elimination.
They aren't even your teammates. You're just cooperating. The winner should either be you or me…'
"Here!" William suddenly said and pointed to a location two miles away behind him. "Xavier's moving fast. Let's get him!"
William roared and condensed arrows from mental power. He was about to wave his hand and rain them down to cover the whole area.
Even though the attack of each arrow was low, it was sufficient when facing a Telepath.
But his hand froze and his nose began to bleed. His body spasmed as his teeth chattered.
"William!" Philia bit her lip and was about to approach him. He waved his hand and said.
"Attack!"
Philia's eyes flashed and a blue hue covered her body. Putting in all her strength, her body shot forward at breakneck speed.
Boom!
Boom!
Despite the heavy gravity, she continued to speed up.
And when she approached the area, a heavy mental power struck her. Her eyes threatened to close, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
Right beside her were Sarah and Ashtarh.
The three of their faces were pale. They were all being attacked by Xavier.
"You're out!" Sarah snapped her fingers and icicles appeared in the air, before shooting down to the ground.
"Gah!" The icicles suddenly slowed down as Sarah clutched her head, but still kept sprinting.
The icicles fell, albeit with far less momentum.
Ting!
Ting!
Tee—
"There he is!"
Ashtarh looked at the location and saw the icicle piercing Xavier's shoulder.
Philia, however, looked at Sarah's pale face.
"You're out, Xav—huh?" Sarah conjured a spear and was about to shoot it when she suddenly gasped.
Ashtarh suddenly struck at her with his spear. It was too fast and as she was focused on Xavier, thus she had no time to react.
Right when the spear was about to pierce her chest, a silver light flashed in front of her.
"You…"
Sarah opened her mouth but couldn't say anything as Philia's body glowed in a silver light.
