Chapter 316 The Proud William 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The audience was still shocked by Janrose's golden illusory sword. It was only when the next participants were called that they recovered.

The next fight will determine the last participant for the semi-finals. Everyone gradually turned their attention to the two men, William Holt and Xavier Paxley. Both were exceptional geniuses who had shown overwhelming power.

"Are you both ready?" Omar stared at the two.

"Begin!"

William Holt was a towering young man who stood over two meters in height. He was holding a huge shield and a giant hammer. In front of him was a gloomy-looking young man holding a crescent-shaped weapon. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he stared at William.

As soon as the match began, William sent a stream of world essence into his shield and hammer, strengthening them with his energy. These two weapons were top Unique-Rated artifacts and the power they could produce was a lot stronger compared to ordinary Unique-Rated artifacts.

Meanwhile, Xavier Paxley shot him a calm look. He grabbed the weapon from his back and moved forward like an agile ghost. He was so fast that he left afterimages in his path!

"So fast!" William muttered in surprise. He didn't let the other party escape his sight because he knew that Xavier was someone who fights like an assassin. People who are proficient in speed techniques were his weakness since he uses heavy weapons. He only managed to reach this step because of his overwhelming power.

Xavier's figure suddenly appeared behind William. His eyes flashed with a cold glint as he waved the crescent-shaped blade in his hand.

Swoosh!

William felt an intense chill behind him and he instinctively moved to the side. He somehow evaded the first attack, but Xavier didn't give him a chance to escape and released dozens of moves.

William raised his shield to the front and managed to block most of the attacks. However, he still received some shallow wounds from that combo strike. Filled with rage, he lifted his giant hammer and smashed it toward Xavier.

Bang!

Xavier Paxley's eyes narrowed when he saw this. William might be slow, but his brute strength wasn't to be underestimated. Among the participants present, his brute strength was probably the strongest. His body was even stronger than Princess Altina who was a Level 4 Esper.

He rolled forward and evaded William's hammer by a hair's breadth. He then slashed out his weapon, leaving a deep gash on William's thigh.

William snorted and stomped his foot, causing the arena to tremble from his might. As if expecting this, Xavier once again narrowly evaded by twisting his body like a snake. He then sent another slash toward William.

This time, William lifted his shield on time and blocked Xavier's blade.

Clang!

Looking at the fight from above the arena, Omar shook his head and sighed. There was a huge gap in their speed. If not for William's strong physical body, he would have already collapsed from the wounds he had gotten.

William's eyes shone with an unbreakable will. He madly dashed toward Xavier like an enraged bull. He even discarded his shield to increase his speed, but Xavier was still faster than him. William's hammer couldn't even touch the guy's clothes.

Soon, more injuries started to appear on William's body. He was bathing in his own blood, but the towering young man stood tall like a proud knight. He shook off the pain he was feeling and continuously swung his hammer.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Multiple deep craters were formed wherever his hammer struck.

Suddenly, Xavier released a blade technique that produced a tornado that spun like a meat grinder.

Seeing this, William sent more world essence into his hammer and struck out, smashing in the direction of the tornado!

BANG!

The force of the explosion sent Xavier flying and he was even almost thrown out of the stage. As for William, his arms were cut by the tornado's sharp wind blades! The hammer in his hands started to feel heavy. His movements turned sluggish as intense weariness overcame him. He had lost and he lost so miserably.

"I admit defeat." William shook his head. He stared deeply at Xavier and jumped out of the stage. Despite the grievous wounds on his body, he walked away as if they were nothing to him.

Looking at his proud figure, the crowd couldn't help but admire this young man.

"Xavier wins!" The referee announced after William forfeited.

This time, there were only four participants left.

Alec Ward

Altina Azure

Janrose Lassiter

Xavier Paxley

They would once again draw lots for the semi-final rounds.

After the drawing of lots, Omar instructed. "You guys should rest for thirty minutes in the waiting area."

The four remaining participants bowed their heads at the old man.

While they were resting, the results of the drawing of lots were announced.

Janrose Lassiter - Xavier Paxley

Alec Ward - Altina Azure

Meanwhile, the battle in the Northern Region had already taken a drastic change after the arrival of Albert and his elite army.

The Underworlders suffered numerous casualties under the fierce charge of Albert's elite army. They were like sharp blades cutting through vegetables! The Underworlders couldn't even do anything to stop their momentum.

Among the Level 5 experts of the Underworlders, two had already fallen and the remaining two were being bullied back by the combined might of Albert, Irithel, and Amishta.

Even the late stage Level 5 Underworlder who was so arrogant earlier now looked like a bloody mess. One of its arms has been cut off and its muscular body was riddled with terrifying-looking wounds. Its aura was slowly getting weaker and weaker.

Suddenly, the late stage Level 5 Underworlder shouted in a strange language and retreated with the remaining Level 5 Underworlder.

It was actually trying to escape after seeing that they had no chance of defeating Irithel and the others!

"You can't get away!" Irithel shouted as she sent a stream of world essence into her longbow. A huge golden arrow slowly condensed. She pulled the bowstring and released the golden energy arrow.

Suu!

The late stage Level 5 Underworlder's body was struck by the golden arrow and it fell down with a thud!

It cried out for help, but no Underworlder tried to help it as they scrambled for their lives.
