Chapter 2294

~9 min read 1,642 words

The battle temporarily subsided. Shug and Quanyu were the main force dealing with Monde. Compared to the combination of Nameless Saint and Afni, the Void team was clearly stronger.

It wasn't that Nameless Saint was weak, but that Afni was holding him back. Their combination had a huge advantage in a two-on-one, but in a two-on-two, how long Afni could survive was an unknown.

Baja disappeared from Amu's shoulder and appeared above Monde. With a wave of its claws, it tossed a bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine to Monde.

"Bai Ye, you arrived a bit early. If you had come after we killed that Demon, it would have been perfect."

The sly smile on Afni's face vanished. Originally, it was four against one, but after Su Xiao arrived, it became six against four.

Afni was overthinking it. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny wouldn't appear at all. Once the battle started, it was four against four. If it developed into a war of attrition, under Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Ice Goddess Aura, Monde could hammer the enemies until they doubted their lives.

Nameless Saint flicked the mining shovel in his hand, and the entire shovel transformed into a high-tech cross-spear about two meters long. This was a Holy Spirit-grade weapon, reinforced to +14, and embedded with three Holy Spirit-grade gems.

Kinetic armor appeared on Nameless Saint, wrapping his entire body, including his head. With a puff, high-temperature steam erupted from his rear shoulders, and on his kinetic helmet, three indicator lights like eyes lit up, changing from green to red.

This kinetic armor was also Holy Spirit-grade equipment, reinforced to +12. As for Nameless Saint's other equipment, it was safe to assume the quality wouldn't be low.

Both used spear-type weapons; if Iron Feather King fought using technique, then Nameless Saint fought using technology, his equipment fierce as a tiger.

"Shug, you guys continue to deal with Monde. I'll handle this one from Reincarnation Paradise along with Afni."

An electronic voice came from inside Nameless Saint's helmet.

"Wait, I have a bad feeling about this."

Shug had been observing Su Xiao's movements the whole time; his intuition was always accurate.

"Coincidentally, I'm in great shape today."

Nameless Saint didn't care about Shug's words. According to his judgment, after teaming up with Afni, it was more suitable for a two-on-one. Monde of the Demon race was not lightly injured; assuming Su Xiao and Monde were allies, he would definitely send summons to reinforce Monde at this time.

In this way, he and Afni could fight two-on-one and avoid Monde's desperate counterattack before death, which was perfect.

"Then... fine."

Shug didn't say anything more.

"Monde, watch my face for cues in a moment."

Baja landed on Monde's shoulder as it spoke.

"Hmm?"

Monde looked at Baja's face, seeing only black-blue feathers.

"Cough~ Then watch my eyes for cues. Don't resist that slightly chilly feeling; that's Xiang Bubu's aura ability."

"Aura?"

"It's a large-scale buff ability."

"Got it."

After the initial negotiation, Monde no longer resisted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Ice and Snow Aura. Feeling his injuries recovering, his eyes lit up.

Su Xiao's gaze swept around. To resolve the current disadvantage, he had to find a breakthrough. Shug and Quanyu were not easy to deal with, and neither was Nameless Saint.

When Su Xiao's gaze shifted to Afni, he found the breakthrough. In his impression, there were many healers in the Holy Light Paradise. If Afni had healing abilities, then today's situation might not necessarily be a disadvantage.

Su Xiao contacted Amu and Baja through the team channel, telling them to join forces to stall Quanyu of the Feather race. There was no need to kill or even injure the enemy; just stalling was enough.

Through Baja's relay, Su Xiao told Monde to deal with Shug. Monde agreed; after all, Su Xiao was helping him in his time of need, so Monde naturally had no other objections.

As for Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, they would deal with the combination of Nameless Saint and Afni.

The canyon was very quiet; no one made the first move. Snowflakes blew down from the nearby Peak Mountains.

"Woof!"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, above the canyon, tilted its head and let out a long howl. Hearing this howl, Amu charged toward Quanyu with long strides.

With a boom, an ice wall was erected in the middle of the canyon. On the left was the combination of Monde, Amu, and Baja; their opponents were Shug and Quanyu.

And on the right, it was Su Xiao alone against Nameless Saint and Afni. It looked like he was alone, but in reality, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, having blended into the environment, had already arrived nearby.

No one took the initiative to break the ice wall. Nameless Saint lowered his center of gravity, and golden lightning surged on the blade of the cross-spear in his hand.

Hum~

The kinetic armor on Nameless Saint began to operate under overload. Various colored lights merged into his body; this was the buff status from Afni, enhancing Nameless Saint's various attributes. At this moment, Nameless Saint looked like a killing machine.

Click, click, click...

Cracks appeared on the ground beneath Nameless Saint's feet. His body leaned forward, charging toward Su Xiao. Just after taking a few steps, blue flames erupted from the engine at his lower back, causing his speed to increase significantly.

Clang!

The cross-spear collided with the long blade. Su Xiao felt a massive force strike from the blade. He stepped back, and the ground behind his feet cracked with a crackling sound, the cracks spreading for a hundred meters before stopping.

"Technique."

Nameless Saint's voice had a metallic texture. Blue flames erupted from his rear shoulders, and the cross-spear in his hand swept out, forcing Su Xiao back.

"Explosive Flame, Incinerate!"

Nameless Saint stretched one hand forward, and the arm armor clicked and expanded, combining into a liquid oxygen flame explosion spray device.

Boom!

A cylindrical blue-red flame erupted, thick in the front and thin in the back, with the flames at the center appearing incandescent.

Crackle, crackle~

The crystal layer shattered rapidly. Su Xiao stood behind the crystal layer, and the Hegemon-grade equipment 【Blood Feather】 split apart to track a certain person on the enemy side.

Zhan Long Shan, still in its sheath, was held horizontally in front of Su Xiao. He looked at the blinding firelight behind the crystal layer in front of him and drew his blade to slash forward.

"Blade Dao Blade · Absolute Nether."

The flames vanished, and three slash marks appeared before Nameless Saint's eyes. The virtual screen in front of him calculated rapidly, planning how to defend against these three slashes.

The three slash beams struck Nameless Saint, and three layers of energy shields shattered in response. A smoking energy battery popped out from the card slot behind the kinetic armor.

Before the energy battery could hit the ground, it was caught by Nameless Saint.

"Data analysis, analysis complete. Energy quality change lifted, unstable internal aggregation initiated."

Nameless Saint tossed the energy battery in his hand; this thing was now a high-powered explosive. At the same time, the three electronic eyes on his kinetic armor began to track Su Xiao's position.

"Tracking failed."

"Tracking failed."

"Damn it."

"Tracking successful."

After Nameless Saint said a "mysterious code," he actually succeeded in tracking Su Xiao.

With a whoosh, the energy tracking bomb erupted with a tail flame and flew toward Su Xiao.

A blade beam swept past, and the energy tracking bomb exploded with a boom. Seeing this scene, Nameless Saint cursed inwardly. He hated fighting enemies proficient in technique. If it weren't to avoid Monde's desperate counterattack, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to target Su Xiao.

"Radiant Thunder · Penetrate!"

Nameless Saint held the cross-spear horizontally. To him, the form of the weapon didn't matter at all.

With a sizzle, a golden lightning bolt as thick as a fist struck past Su Xiao's ear. If he hadn't tilted his head, this would have pierced his skull.

"Maximum Power · Thunder Ground."

Nameless Saint thrust the cross-spear in his hand into the ground, and the kinetic armor all over his body hummed.

A surge of golden lightning erupted from beneath Su Xiao's feet. Golden arcs surged over his body, and he seemed to have lost his strength.

Nameless Saint was about to charge forward, but he stopped. His kinetic armor was warning him desperately that he must not go up now, nor should he attack easily.

Inside the kinetic armor, Nameless Saint stared at Su Xiao with full vigilance. But what he didn't notice was that behind him, his temporary teammate Afni was looking at him with a very complex expression.

"Saint, it really wasn't me betraying you. You must hold on."

Afni murmured. White-green light surged from her body, and dozens of meters away, emerald-green light particles appeared around Su Xiao. His health, which hadn't lost much, began to recover.

Seeing the emerald-green light particles around Su Xiao, Nameless Saint inside the kinetic armor was stunned. For a moment, he felt he might have seen wrong. After re-examining, he confirmed: "Yeah, that's right, that's a healing ability. My teammate Afni's healing ability. My teammate... is helping the enemy recover health."

"You, you must listen to my explanation."

Afni's tone was exceptionally desperate. She really hadn't betrayed Nameless Saint. She could have healed Nameless Saint just now, but what came out was true damage, which was even worse.

At this moment, Afni felt terrible. It felt as if she and Nameless Saint had just been "newly married," and one day Nameless Saint came home from "work," pushed open the bedroom door, and saw a very "surprising" scene. Then, with a slap, a huge "green hat" was placed on Nameless Saint's head, and he fell apart.
