Chapter 858: You’ve Lost Your Fangs
In Stoneheart City, upon the great throne of the castle.
Orion slowly opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed within them before he slowly closed them again. He immediately immersed his consciousness in the Survivor’s Platform, entering the Champions Alliance public channel.
Edward: Alexander, Hulk, well done.
Besides the participants themselves, the first to know the results of the duel were always the Commander and Deputy Commander. The Commander was still in his slumber and would almost never make an appearance for anything but the most critical matters. For Deputy Commander Edward to say this, it was clear he already knew the final outcome and had the winnings from the wager in hand.
Arthas: My apologies. I was unable to drag my opponent down with me.
His opponent had been strong, and Arthas was still a newly ascended demigod. He would not run from his failure, especially not in a matter like this. The loss of face, the admission of defeat—Arthas would confront them head-on. Facing one’s own failures and shortcomings was a required lesson for a cunning old veteran.
Leonidas: My Void Dragon is gone.
Leonidas: That was a Void Dragon! It cost me countless years of effort and resources to cultivate!
Leonidas was genuinely heartbroken, so much so that he didn’t even have the heart to tease his defeated friend Arthas.
Hulk: I’m fine. It was mainly Alexander’s two killing moves. They were just too damn incredible.
Orion did not dare take the credit. Though he had given it his all, the one who had truly landed the finishing blow on the demigod’s will-projection was Alexander’s spirit sword. Alexander’s final two techniques were truly powerful, in no way inferior to Orion’s own Ghost Dragon Summoning or Blood Sacrifice.
Alexander: It wasn’t that I am so powerful. That will-projection was already crippled. The demigod was running on fumes after defeating the skeleton.
