Chapter 390: Sudden Death
Simon’s ancient summoning skill was the most powerful weapon. After a brief encounter with Li Rui, he was determined that this person must leave the Secret Realm battleground now.
In other words, he had to kill Li Rui here.
That’s why he used this Legendary Level skill, which had been upgraded to lv5.
In the past, whenever he shifted to this state, it meant the end of the battle, and he would certainly win.
Ulysses rushed out of the encirclement of the Ice Storm, taking a moment to glance over at this battle, unable to resist a feeling of joy within.
He had been entrusted by the head of the Western Anomaly Bureau to look after this young man, and he was very clear about his trump cards.
"Definitely a win."
This commander knew the power of the ancient summoning.
Even a hidden big boss in the same level Secret Realm couldn’t survive in the hands of the winged Simon; at least, there was no such precedent.
Moreover, he remembered that a nine-star Secret Realm boss palace was forcibly dismantled by Simon, leading to the Secret Realm being removed from the queue, which was not something just anyone could do.
His only weakness was his battle style, relying on various status skills to stack physical endurance, most afraid of being killed before reaching the peak state.
Because to activate this strongest ancient summoning skill, preconditions needed to be met, and his rage had to reach its maximum value.
The Berserker’s rage wasn’t merely accumulated by getting angry; it also required shedding blood and sweat in battle, engaging in close-quarters combat with the enemy.
But correspondingly, once gathered, Simon could leap into an invincible state; at least in this 50-level peak Secret Realm battleground, Ulysses couldn’t think of anyone who could stop him.
Even in the last confrontation with Guan Gui, the latter cautiously controlled the former’s rage, not giving him a chance to unleash this skill, despite several serious threats to himself.
Now, Roger Simon was no longer an extraordinary below level 50; he was an unleashed ancient fierce beast, anyone in front of him was doomed!
As Ulysses expected, Simon passed through the All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell with hardly any damage.
Next, he only needed to rush in front of Li Rui and land a punch, and the battle would be over.
This conclusion didn’t pose a problem; without activating the ancient summoning, Li Rui’s melee was already somewhat inferior, let alone now.
But the development of events always has certain deviations from the plan.
When the sky above showed thunder of gold and red, even Vons paused.
The stronger ones understood just how terrifying the power gathering was.
They even had a moment of trance at the first moment, feeling that power had nothing to do with Li Rui because it wasn’t something that should exist below level 50.
But among all the extraordinary present, even including the demon race brought by various parties, no one else could possess such ability.
Although incredulous, it could only come from Li Rui.
At this moment, the heartbeat fastest belonged to Roger Simon, as the first bearer of the All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell, he felt the threat most keenly.
The moment the celestial power gathered, he had already judged that he couldn’t withstand it and might even lose his life.
If it were an ordinary person, they would surely panic at this time, trying everything to escape such power.
But Simon was not an ordinary person; the moment he made the judgment, he immediately changed his mind.
He no longer wanted to live.
Since he couldn’t withstand this terrifying skill of unknown situation, then it was one for one.
"If I die, you don’t live either."
He intended to proceed, going for an exchange with Li Rui.
Thud!
Heavy footsteps landed on the ground, even stomping out a shockwave, wings flapping, making his speed a step faster.
Simon was still rapidly advancing, with only the target he wanted to smash with one punch in his eyes.
Li Rui also felt the immense threat; being targeted by an ancient fierce beast was unpleasant, but now both sides had no retreat, it was either you die or I live.
He grunted, his left hand, which wasn’t holding an umbrella, pressed down at his side.
Rumble——
Golden-red thunder fell from high above, carrying the speed of Divine Thunder and the lethality of Community Thunder, expanding from Simon as the center in five different directions, vaguely resembling a hand descending from the sky.
"Ah——Ah!!"
Despite the thunder already upon him, Simon ignored it, his wings behind him spread in fury, still rushing forward with all his strength.
Li Rui’s figure became closer in his vision, but his skin and flesh gradually tore apart, and the splattered blood evaporated in an instant.
"Kill you!!"
His figure was still leaping through the thunder.
Li Rui didn’t react at all; he just looked steadily at the opponent coming closer, because he no longer felt threatened. That person would surely not break through.
Simon himself realized this, his vision grew blurrier, strength pouring out of him uncontrollably; he had exhausted all his might.
He tried using resistance-boosting items and physique-enhancing items, attempting a last struggle, but eventually vanished within the blazing thunder.
Only at this time did Ulysses, Vons, or any others feel suddenness; no one expected Roger Simon to die here.
In people’s minds, the death of a focal character like this should have signs, such as more personnel mobilization, the gathering of experts, figures like the archbishop of the Polar Alliance, Guan Gui, and Cheng Wen had to show up one by one, and after a series of earth-shattering fights, the death would occur.
But today’s twist was utterly unexpected, just the sudden emergence of one individual, and without much time passing, it actually led to such a person’s on-the-spot death.
Ulysses felt great regret, feeling he should have found a way to break free from his entanglement with Vons just now and gone over to help.
Yet he couldn’t think of any way to be of help against the All Heaven Great Thunder Fire Seal Spell.
There are always people stronger; he didn’t foresee that even Simon, having activated ancient summoning, could encounter a skill his level couldn’t handle. This wasn’t his decision-making failure; from the initial encirclement, gamble up to now, there wasn’t any wrong step; it’s simply that someone’s power far exceeded reasonable circumstances.
"He can’t just be allowed to walk away like this, can he?"
This was said towards Vons.
The Divine Son didn’t respond, but from his withdrawn Ice Storm, it seemed he agreed by default.
Two masters who had originally battled fiercely now reached a brief tacit understanding.
Li Rui could absolutely not be allowed to leave; otherwise, the forces of Dragon Country would become too large, allowing such a person to continue existing in the Secret Realm battleground and reaping those yet-fully-developed gains was absolutely unacceptable.
The two belonging to different factions began traversing the battleground.
They both believed, after using such a powerful skill, Li Rui must be in a weakened state, to kill him, it had to be now.
Huo Huang Zun had the same thought, so he immediately called for people to step forward, no matter what, they had to protect Li Rui.
Yet at this moment, the one targeted above stopped them.
"Don’t come, lest you get hurt by mistake."
After saying this, Li Rui silently started counting, using rewind at the last moment before the dual storm of cold and shadow arrived.
