Chapter 1155: Soulless Battle Team

Boom…

A direct hit from the Rune Sword, bursting open almost simultaneously. The tank’s tyrannical energy shield could not withstand such attacks, exploding instantly. Noel was like a peeled egg, appearing in front of Heracles.

The spiritual blast exploded forward instinctively. Whether it was useful or otherwise, it had a suppressive effect on the opponent.

However, there was a terrible explosion at this moment.

Slaughter!!

The spirit of Noel, who had been on the defensive, slammed out violently; like an ordinary person transforming into a lunatic instantly. The test data revealed that it was soaring.

Spiritual blast!

Noel returned with a spiritual blast, and Heracles’ brain roared immediately. Following closely, the spire of the Guillotine mech’s double-edged hatchet frantically slashed out at the Phantom King. Unprepared, the Phantom King was hit, but the black Rune Energy Shield blocked the attack. Afterall, Heracles possessed strong mental power, subconsciously pulling the distance apart. The Phantom avatar…

However, the double-handed hook hatchet attacked simultaneously. Although the tank was slow, the instantaneous attack was anything but slow. The avatar was literally pulled apart, and the physical body was pulled back by the Guillotine mech.

Instantly, Heracles felt a strong sense of crisis overcome him.

The Phantom King was immobilized. Noel’s Ability X – Earth Restraint!

He was not an Earth-rank warrior, but nonetheless possessed a C-level ability. Death in a different manner. This caging technique was executed skillfully; even an Earth-rank warrior could not untangle himself from it easily.

Following closely, the Guillotine charged skywards, the two double-edged hatchets despatched directly at the Phantom King – Soaring Decapitation Rush!

Boom…

The two double-edged hatchets smashed ruthlessly on the Rune Shield, energy surging. Nevertheless, the Rune Shield was relatively effective against laser and physical attacks. These ruthless attacks, equivalent to the splitting of the heavens and the earth, were blocked.

The Arbiter was expressionless. The attacks were virtually non-stop. The guillotine mech rose again, and the same soaring chop!

Boom… boom… boom… boom… boom…

Everyone’s ears were ringing with the soaring roar until the Rune Shield burst… The huge tremor had also impacted Heracles.

At the same time, Noel’s restraint had also dissipated. The Phantom King’s body was disillusioned, ready for switching displacement. But that deadly double-edged hatchet reappeared, directly pulling in the physical body of the Phantom King.

Soaring Decapitation Rush!

Heracles bit his teeth and the Rune Sword greeted the opponent’s strike…

Boom…

The sword was broken. The double-edged hatchet followed through to chop off the head of the Phantom King.

D. Noel won!

Noel walked out silently. No sign of the joy of defeating a deadly expert; merely completing an insignificant task. He saluted to the audience and returned to his position.

Aragorn looked at Di Maria for a moment. He had not regarded the Imperial Glory battle team as an opponent. Aragorn was furious. Furious at the fall of the Asura battle team. The Arbiter had no bad habits, but what had the once powerful Van brothers learned after they enrolled in Elite Academy X?

Beside stupidity, it was still stupidity.

Worthless things. Battles were all about killing, regardless of the means. Finish off the opponent once you find their weakness.

But the Van brothers’ physiques seemed feeble. They had been too comfortable, and stopped the pursuit of the ultimate power. Spiritual blasting?

This was worthless for the members of the Warrior Soul. They had to endure the training on spiritual blasting daily until the spirit was accustomed to it. These attacks that would occur regularly should be treated as a habit – like breathing. As for their own attacks, they must be refined, to the point of perfection. Deadliness was more important than the number of maneuvers.

The Phantom King from the Atlantis had only that few maneuvers. To remain steadfast in the face of change. As long as the Arbiters were able to seize an opportunity, it would be a fight to the death.

Di Maria was obviously too slow in getting into his momentum. This was not a team battle, it was an individual battle. He was so confident in competing against a tank that he went for a direct attack. He was overconfident and too confident in his Rune Shield. The Rune Shield had much better defence against energy attacks than physical attacks. At the same time, Di Maria was also superstitious about the Phantom King’s avatar evasive ability, as well as underestimated the most terrifying ability of mankind – learning!

The Arbiters had recurrent devilish training in the commonly-used techniques of the major powers. So, Aragorn was perplexed as to what Mars had been doing in the past few years. He was very disappointed.

Heracles was apparently not prepared for failure. He was still seated in the cockpit. When he was restrained, he thought that his mental strength could easily break free, but it did not. Yet the ensuing heavy strike broke his resolved, but his Rune Shield blocked it. However, the continuous explosive ability of his opponent exceeded his expectations. The uninterrupted, high-explosive attacks created a huge impact on his Rune Energy Shield and himself. It was an undisputed fact that they were physically weak.

The battle teams that had advanced to the quarter-finals, whether it was the captain or the team members, had sufficient confidence in their abilities. However, this confidence and defiance could either mean victory or failure.

The next contender from the Imperial Glory battle team was Lu Die, a sniper. Aragorn sent the Scout. Lu Die was confident of her sniper ability. She could eliminate her opponent before the opponent’s mech closed in on her.

However, the arc gun fell through. Her fatal locking ability was eliminated within seconds by the opponent’s mental power. Having lost the chance for a fatal strike, she was slaughtered.

Mastering the ability to resist the spiritual blasts was a basic requirement in the foundational Ability X training at the Warrior Soul College. Learning how to eliminate certain symbols and locking abilities were also mandatory courses. As a representative of the Warrior Soul College, possessing the ability to eliminate the opponent in seconds was essential. Locking itself was a marking, and did not require much power. It was a skill. Eliminating a marking did require mental strength and attention to details. However, this could be practiced. If it could not be achieved in one day, then take a month; if it could not be achieved in a month, then take a year. Someone was bound to achieve this. Although this process was agonizing, even punishing, there was no lack of such people in Arbiter.

These basic abilities would become unusually powerful when applied in the battlefield. Of course, the Warrior Soul College also used some unreasonably inhumane training methods, such as unrelentless electric shocks and so on, during the process. But this was not unacceptable for the Arbiters because it was their conscientious choice. They were the representatives of the Warrior Soul College. Even if their lifespan was not as long as that of average humans, they did not care as they had made the sacrifice for their country.

The problem had now arisen. Di Maria had lost in successive battles in the home ground. Heracles’ defeat in the first round put the Imperial Glory battle team in the defensive.

Di Maria was not Lear; he needed to take on the challenge. As the captain of one of the top battle teams, he could be the only one who was not Earth-rank. Nevertheless, his Ability X was outstanding, and this was something that Di Maria was very proud of. He had a bright future. He just needed to resolve the immediate issue.

Di Maria was feeling conflicted, but he needed to take on the challenge. This was a decisive battle. Aragorn and Di Maria were unwilling to ponder further. Defeating Aragorn would mean turning things around.

The Arbiters did not create any suspense. Aragorn entered the arena.
