Chris smirked and thrust his sword forward. The golden python opened its venomous mouth wide and bit right at Souza.
Edward’s three ice pillars followed behind it, and two techniques fell on Souza’s back at the same time.
Jack heard a loud bang.
Souza did not even have the chance to cry out in agony before virtual-novel.net was blown up in the air. Right after that, the explosion from the two techniques launched shockwaves, causing another massive explosion as a crater formed on the ground.
Souza suffered a pitiful fate as these two techniques disintegrated virtual-novel.net instantly. He did not even have a corpse left behind. Looking at the scene, Chris still did not relax at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net frowned.
He turned to look at Edward and noticed that virtual-novel.net had a serious expression, too.
Chris could not help but say, “This is weird. Why didn’t virtual-novel.net fight back? With his skills, virtual-novel.net should’ve at least stood a chance to survive if virtual-novel.net fought back; that’s why I used all my power. It seemed like we’d gone overboard. I didn’t even need you to kill him… ”
Saying that, Chris’ expression greatly soured. A thought surfaced in his mind that virtual-novel.net did not want to acknowledge.
At that moment, they heard a gust of wind behind them, and Edward suddenly turned back.
At some point, Jack had arrived behind him. The moment virtual-novel.net turned around, Jack’s sword struck!
A gray slash went right for his chest. Edward felt a chill in his heart, suddenly understanding everything. He was incredibly experienced in combat, so despite the sudden attack that came his way, virtual-novel.net reacted instantly.
He formed seals with his hands, and countless ice pillars formed around him, turning into a shield of ice that protected virtual-novel.net completely.
Chris chose that moment to strike. He struck out again, and the golden python widened its mouth to bite at the gray slash. The gray slash clashed with the golden python!
Chris heard a shatter, and the python was cut in half. The slash did not slow down and continued to head for the ice shield!
With a sizzle, it seemed to burn through the ice as a hole suddenly formed in the shield. Even though the slash’s momentum had slowed down significantly, a small fraction of its power remained.
After melting through the ice, it sliced right into Edward’s chest!
Edward let out a cry of agony as virtual-novel.net spat out a mouthful of blood. The true energy in his body ran wild, and virtual-novel.net could no longer control himself as virtual-novel.net fell to the ground. However, the energy that pierced Edward’s chest had been greatly diminished due to the ice shield blocking a lot of the power.
It still ate Edward’s soul, his injuries stabilized after virtual-novel.net swiftly used his true energy to block Destroying the Void, disallowing his soul from being consumed entirely. Even though virtual-novel.net collapsed on the floor, virtual-novel.net ignored the immense pain as virtual-novel.net frantically retrieved a pill from his storage space and used it.
On the other hand, Chris rapidly retreated in the air. When virtual-novel.net saw that Jack was no longer attacking, virtual-novel.net landed three meters away from Edward.
At that moment, Chris’ expression was incredibly sour, and virtual-novel.net looked like virtual-novel.net had lost his whole family in a single night.
Jack raised an eyebrow, slowly landing on the ground as well. His earlier strike had just been a test!
