Chapter 534: Chapter 498 Quiet… Chapter 534: Chapter 498 Quiet… Rocky abruptly accelerated into the mid-air, and when he glanced back, he found that one second Bernardo had been on the platform, and the next second he appeared right behind him, in relentless pursuit!
Quick!
Realizing he hadn’t shaken off Bernardo, Rocky hastily changed direction while accelerating again, instantly maneuvering to Bernardo’s back. But before he could even stop, Bernardo accelerated away and then veered back toward him!
It was clear that in terms of Armor handling skills, even in his Holy Angel Armor, Bernardo couldn’t compare to Rocky. For instance, when Rocky used speed and maneuverability to get behind Bernardo, Bernardo could have used the same tactic to shake off Rocky and get behind him, but Bernardo failed to do that because his control over the Armor wasn’t up to that level.
Yet even so, leveraging the innate speed advantage of the Holy Angel Armor, Bernardo used the simplest method to escape Rocky and closed in on him again.
Seeing this, Rocky could only continually use tactics to match him, but the results were not ideal. Although clearly superior in technique and grasp of the tactical situation, the excellence of the Holy Angel Armor meant that every opportunity Rocky found was easily countered by his opponent.
Moreover, after several such bouts, Rocky truly became anxious, unintentionally revealing a flaw that Bernardo capitalized on!
After being shaken off multiple times, Rocky seemed to grow impatient, so he abandoned his tactics and charged directly at Bernardo, swinging the Scythe in the process.
Those who had seen him in battle knew this was Rocky’s most skillful attack method—using the speed of the White Demon to rapidly approach the enemy, simultaneously swinging the Scythe, and by the time he reached them, the Scythe would drop, giving the enemy no chance to defend.
But, let’s not forget that the enemies Rocky previously faced were never faster than him, yet this time, the Holy Angel Armor was faster than the White Demon!
So this time, as he charged towards Bernardo, everything seemed fine until the moment he brought down the raised Scythe. In that instant, Bernardo suddenly flashed to the side, and his Mana Sword struck heavily on Rocky’s waist!
Struck by the blow, Rocky felt a massive force hit him, sending him almost uncontrollably flying backward. What was more terrifying was that before he could even stand up, Bernardo had rapidly caught up and appeared right above him, then stomped directly onto him!
That stomp, like a heavy hammer, sent Rocky, who was initially flying horizontally, crashing straight down with a thunderous sound onto the platform, smashing it into a huge crater!
“Awesome!”
“We’ve got this! This time we’ve secured it!”
Seeing Rocky knocked down, the Mairente Family’s members cheered as this was the first time he had been overtaken squarely since the fight started. Although Rocky had been at a disadvantage previously, everyone was aware of how formidable he was, and how strong the White Demon was, so the family members were never wholly at ease; but now, seeing Rocky ruthlessly knocked down in a direct confrontation, they finally felt relieved.
This time, a sure win!
Just like the family, the crowd at the scene also erupted into thunderous cheers at that moment.
Undoubtedly, these cheers were all for Bernardo, and soon the cheering turned into a unified chant.
“Victory!”
“Victory!”
“Victory!”
“Victory!”
The cheers of the populace had transformed into a unanimous shout, a sound that thundered throughout the entire Mairente City, permeating every corner and reaching everyone’s ears.
Yet amidst these victorious cries, Bernardo, who was in the air, did not pursue his victory but instead aimed the floating Magic Conduction Machine behind him at Rocky again!
Although having the upper hand throughout the battle, Bernardo remained calm. He didn’t let the advantage cloud his judgment because he was well aware of the significance of this battle for the entire Mairente family. Having no room for error or carelessness, once Rocky had been knocked to the arena floor, Bernardo decided to end the match to avoid any further complications.
Under his control, eight Magic Conduction Machines instantly aimed at Rocky, not only that, but the tops of the machines started glowing with a dazzling light!
Upon seeing this, the shouts of the people grew even louder, for anyone could tell that Bernardo was preparing a major move!
Previously, when he attacked with the Magic Conduction Machines, a beam of light would flash each time one shot, but now the light was brilliant, undoubtedly indicating that the machines were accumulating Mana for a most lethal attack!
This accumulation did not take much time; just a few seconds later, the eight Magic Conduction Machines aimed at Rocky simultaneously fired eight Magic Energy Beams!
This time, the beams were not as thin as fingers; these beams were even thicker than the machines themselves, and all eight fired at the same time!
Barely a breath had passed, no, merely a blink of an eye, and the massively powerful beams struck the arena!
Since eight beams were fired simultaneously, it was natural that not all would hit the same spot; several beams struck the arena directly, easily penetrating and causing explosions. However, this was not a concern because the point of simultaneous fire was to block Rocky’s escape routes. As long as two of the beams hit, Rocky was finished, even if he activated his Defensive Net.
“We won!”
The moment the beams hit the arena, many young members of the Mairente family could not suppress their excitement any longer. They instantly jumped from their seats and started dancing and shouting loudly. As for the elders’ reaction to the young people’s behavior, they did not stop them. In fact, even they felt like jumping up to join the celebration, but unfortunately, they were too old to bounce back, yet this did not affect the elders’ elation.
They had finally won!
They had finally won! In the struggle with Rocky, the Mairente family had finally won a battle!
“Very good… very good…”
Among all the family members, Lexington’s demeanor was the most composed; he was the Clan Leader after all and had long reached the state of not showing his emotions outwardly. Yet even so, he couldn’t help but nod continuously and then glanced at his son.
Seeing his father looking at him, Abraham promptly nodded back, unable to conceal his excitement.
He was indeed very excited, because as mentioned before, this victory was too important for the family. As long as they won this battle, everyone from the Mairente family members to the common folk would unify and regroup, and sooner or later they would restore the family to its peak!
“Huh?”
However, just at that moment, just as Abraham had nodded to Lexington, he suddenly noticed something was amiss. He realized that the deafening cheers and shouts that had filled the square had disappeared without notice…
What happened?!
Noticing the sudden silence around him, Abraham immediately sensed trouble and turned towards the arena, then he saw…
