Chapter 418: Alliance? You are not worthy!!!

"Deliver a battle achievement?"

"You came to be defeated on purpose?!"

Najenda frowned slightly, her face showing some surprise.

Even for an experienced older sister, she couldn't quite react.

Frowning.

She looked toward Locke inquiringly.

Even she didn't quite know how to respond to the next step.

Truth and falsehood...

Falsehood and truth...

"Master~"

"What he said... seems to be the truth... he's not deceiving us."

Xi'er peeked over timidly.

Growing over this period, Xi'er was no longer the childish figure she once was; under the cover of the phantom vision, she was a young girl with a five-head-tall stature, similar to the Three Imperial Gods.

The ability of the 【Teigu: Five Visions - Observer】 had also improved significantly.

Insight!

It endowed her with observation as keen as an eagle, able to easily see through what humans were thinking through subtle changes in their facial expressions.

And in the insight of the Teigu.

Although the reason Fengeli gave sounded very far-fetched, like a cheesy excuse, one that even a child making things up would be better at, it possessed an unexpected authenticity.

—It was true!

Without a doubt, it was true!

"So he really did come to lose to us on purpose?"

Locke raised an eyebrow.

He quietly exchanged a look with Esdeath beside him, both thinking to themselves.

"No wonder..."

In that case.

Fengeli's abnormal behavior earlier could be explained; why, when he first started fighting Najenda, it seemed heated, but he hadn't even drawn his weapon.

Given the personality he displayed, he wasn't one to be rash or careless.

So...

From beginning to end.

He never thought of agreeing to them, he was just looking for a 'reasonable defeat'.

It was just that the powerful strength Najenda showed later directly blew up his calculations.

The plan collapsed.

He was forced to confess.

"So that's how it is!"
