918 Why Did It Become Like This?

No! He had to warn everyone.

These Baymardians weren't as soft as they looked.

Dammit!

They were wrong.

They were very, very, very, wrong.

With that thought, Yao dragged his limping body as fast as he could in an attempt to get away.

And even though Landon could stop him, he chose not to but walked calmly behind Yao.

Since the idiot wanted to see what was going on outside desperately, then why not show him?

It was ridiculous if he ever thought that he would be able to escape.

Some of the audience were also tempted to follow, but those guarding them told them to stay in place until the battle both inside the some and on the square had come to an end.

So they could only watch the action leave their sight pitifully.

Of course, since they couldn't follow out, they focused on other fights.

"That's his majesty William of Arcadina, right?

Damn, he's strong!"

"F***!

I feel bad for his opponents. He's truly a terrifying force to behold."

"Ahhhh! Duke Benjamin Hamilton isn't bad as well.

Just look at how he grabbed those two bad guys. Utterly Brutal, yet somehow playful."

"I know, right.

He's very good at using all elements and objects around the room.

His fighting style reminds me of the character 'Jackie Chan' in the Baymardian movie: The Young Master."

"Yeah, I've watched that movie too. Actor Gerald Homan played Jackie Chan in that movie."

"Awesome!"

"Guys, I think we should rank up outer favourites."

"For the first position, even though I love the Queen, we have to be honest.

His majesty Landon can turn iron into dust, so he's definitely first hands down!"

"Hmhm. Followed by the queen."

"Oooooh.

The 3rd is his majesty William, and 4th is Duke Benjamin."

"No way!

I like Duke Benjamin's fight style more.

3rd should be him, then his majesty William."

"Are you all blind?

Look at that Baymardian guy there?

Can't you see that he literally fought off 10 people at once?

He's clearly 3rd!"

"No, have you forgotten the moves Princess Lucy did when rounding us up?

She should be 4th."

"Yes, but you've also forgotten how King Carmelo lifted that guy in the air and broke his back with his knees. He should be 2nd."

"Wait, I don't think it would be fair to rank the battle since we can't see how those outside are doing."

"Dammit!

I want to see it!"

"_"

And so amidst the battle where countless warriors fought bravely, the spectators debated who their best were.

Meanwhile, Yao had finally managed to drag himself across the enormous dome.

Finally, he had reached the doors.

But what he saw almost gave him a heart attack.

W-w-w-w-what was going on?

Boom!

Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di.

Machine guns went off, and small hand grenades were thrown towards his men mercilessly, creating a small cloud of smoke, which wasn't as big or thick as those from tanks or cannons.

Nonetheless, its effect was enough to make Yao's face grow pale.

Of course, the weapons used were those that wouldn't give substantial damage to the building structures.

After all, this was a place of worship for the Caronian's beloved Goddess.

So how could they even think about destroying it?

They behaved themselves and either used their guns, machine guns and so on.

At times, they even launched tear gas and smoke bombs into the rooms within the walls.

These rooms typically led to stairways that would take one to the top of the walls.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!

My belly is gone!

There's a large hole on my belly!"

"I can't hear anything.

What's happening to me?

I can't hear anything!"

"These people are using sorcery.

This is something that we can't fight!

What's happening?"

Yao dropped to his knees in despair after seeing the chaotic scene before him.

His men ran left, right, and all other directions in utter confusion but were killed by some invisible arrows.

Invisible because there were no arrows on their bodies after they dropped dead.

The entire square was dyed red as blood slowly filled the creases on the ground.

The air smelled foul and burnt.

And the countless times of dead bodies was enough to make one flinch.

And the most troubling thing to Yao was that these were his men.

He thought that he could wish out, tell them to withdraw and flee from here as fast as he could.

But the situation before him told him about it would be near-impossible.

Why did it become like this?

No, no, no, no.

He had to inform the Temple. They needed to know!

Landon, who had been observing Yao, chuckled at his incoming insanity.

He knew that look.

It was one that he had seen countless times.

Yup. The guys about to lose it.

For Yao, this was his first defeat.

In short, in Yao's mind, he could already envision himself being recorded as the first person to cause the Temple's Loss.

Such a title would follow him forever, even if he escaped and went back to the temple.

His codename might even get changed to 'loser.'

But should he just give up like this?

No way!

He was very unwilling.

Even if he lost now, provided he could make a comeback and personally take Landon's head, then his glory would be restored, and he would be given the privilege of kissing the leader's rings.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he got up in an attempt to slip through the battlefield and find a way to open the massive gate beyond.

Yes, he was immortal. He could do this.

But how could Landon let him get away?

When Yao tried to dive into the battlefield, Landon quickly caught him and pinned him down.

Bam.

"Damn you! You let me go!

This is your fault!

This whole thing is your fault!

If you were powerful all this time, then why did you fool everyone?

You were out to get us from the start and even lured us into a trap here.

Don't you feel any shame for surprise-attacking us?

Where is your integrity as a man?
