Storm of Gods

Chapter 213 The Knight's Courage

Celia glanced at Li Xin and saw that he didn't object. "This is Simmons' own battle. He's already willing to accept any outcome by deciding not to use a proxy."

A slight smile appeared on Aklis's lips. He also thought that everything Simmons had done was to get Avogadro to act as his dueling proxy. To be honest, he really couldn't object. Li Xin might not be qualified, but Avogadro was definitely qualified. In addition, his father needed the George family as the vanguard, so he had no choice but to agree, both morally and logically. But in his eyes, Simmons was just someone who was good at using tricks, not a knight.

A knight is a knight because he has courage.

roar~~~
Simmons didn't sit idly by. He managed to calm his surging blood pressure and swung his greatsword. However, Didia easily dodged it. "You are no match for me. If you are willing to admit defeat, I can spare your life. You know I am different from Anthony. I cannot erase the efforts and dignity of an entire family because of one person."

Simmons laughed, using his greatsword to prop himself up. "How do you know it's just one person, or just you left, or even that?"

Didia's eyes sharpened, touching a sore spot. Anthony alone could not represent the Nasser family, but now everyone was blaming the Nasser family for all the evil, even the Hunters Club.

Didia didn't speak again, and kept blasting Simmons with his silver spear. Simmons raised the Shield of Glory to defend himself. With each tremor, his body was bombarded by the spreading lightning power, and he was already covered in blood. But Simmons grinned and smiled.

boom……

boom……

Each time he retreated, the ground would crack open, leaving a bloody mark. Seeing Simmons, who seemed on the verge of collapse and could be blown to pieces at any moment, resolutely stand up, Didia saw his opponent's fighting spirit and determination.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way with my strongest attack," Didia said in a deep voice, accompanied by a muffled thud.

Blood boiled, and the power of thunder extended from the silver spear throughout his body. The spear was held horizontally and pulled back, with a ball of azure light condensing at its tip.

Simmons wiped his face hard, shouldered the Shield of Glory with his left hand and gripped the greatsword with his right. He was waiting for an opportunity, and now was the time.

Just then, Didia's left hand suddenly opened and closed, and lightning burst forth—Lightning Thousand Strike!
Bolts of lightning swept towards Simmons, and as Simmons was struck by the lightning, Didia's spear shot out like a dragon, attacking Simmons with all its might.

Simmons' counterattack failed. The relentless thunderous attacks forced him to abandon his greatsword and switch to full defense. Just then, Didia's deadly lightning spear struck, leaving him with no other option.

A divine flash of light!

Simmons vanished, but Didia disappeared almost simultaneously. Not only did she anticipate Simmons's thoughts, but she also pinpointed his location. Using her Divine Flash to catch her opponent's Divine Flash, she appeared just above Simmons, aiming her gun at him with the same stance. Simmons ridiculously tried to pull out the Hextech Gun tucked into his waistband.

Lightning Strike - Wolf Fang!
There was no way to avoid it; Simmons had used all his cards, and he was going to end it all.

Although Simmons was in a sorry state, his eyes became incredibly sharp. The hand on his waist was just a smokescreen, because he knew that Didia would definitely notice. He wanted to make his opponent completely relax. There was only a chance when the opponent thought that he had revealed all his cards and became complacent. Now, he really had no way to avoid it.

Boom!

His blood was boiling, his heart was pounding like a pile driver, Simmons' left eye was bloodshot, but his right eye had transformed into a deep, dark abyss.

Lightning burst forth from Simmons' body, enveloping the Shield of Glory in its aura. He unleashed his most difficult defensive counter-attack, but this time it was different.

—Lightning Reversal!
The two bolts of lightning collided, accompanied by a deafening roar. The entire base shook violently, terrifying psionic energy exploded, walls shattered, glass shattered, and lightning crackled.

Li Xin and Aklis also had to raise their hands to shield themselves. It wasn't that they were afraid, but the flying debris and lightning were enough to pierce through Celia. Sorcerers and other supernatural classes were more suitable for support or attacks in specific situations, and could not get involved in the main battlefield.

The explosion also created chaos among the crowded people outside, and the force of the explosion knocked down a large number of people.

The base was in ruins. Two people were lying on the ground. Didia, who hadn't been hit once since the start of the battle, was also lying on the ground, covered in blood. Simmons was in even worse shape; there wasn't a single part of his body that was unharmed. He lay motionless on the ground.

After returning home yesterday, Simmons discovered that his superpower had awakened. Rationally, he should play it safe and develop his abilities properly. He is not the kind of person who acts rashly. However, although he cannot say that he has a chance of winning, he now has the possibility of giving it a shot.

If you insist on controlling everything before doing anything, then you won't do anything at all.

Neither Aklis nor Li Xin moved, but Celia rushed towards Simmons crying. Although she always disliked her cousin, she was the one in the family who cared about Simmons the most.

“It’s so nice to have a little sister,” Aklis said with a smile.

“Yes.” Li Xin nodded. He missed Xueyin. He was good at hiding his emotions, but he would sometimes feel down in the dungeon. At these times, Xueyin would always share her treasured things with him. Xueyin’s care and admiration were the light of the dungeon.

“I mean I have it,” Aklis added.

“I mean I have one too,” Li Xin said. The two looked at each other, neither willing to concede, the gist of which was, “Can your sister compare to my sister?”

“How do you calculate this?” Aklis asked, looking at the two men lying on the ground.

"You're the prince, you decide." "This is the fair Montaletta, how about a draw?"

“Fair.” Li Xin nodded.

"Haha, very good, I'll come find you later." Aklis smiled with satisfaction, then walked to the door, pushed open the broken door, and a broken piece almost hit the clean and tidy prince. Fortunately, the prince was agile and turned gracefully to stand in front of everyone.

Countless people were waiting anxiously outside the door. His Highness was as dashing and sunny as ever. "The battle is over. Now, I declare the duel between Simmons and Didia a draw."

draw?

Feeling the powerful lightning, the people of the Holy Ze Academy were filled with despair. It was so terrifying from such a distance. If they were in it, they would be crushed to pieces. But what?
draw???

The Holy Zeal Academy was in an uproar. Although it wasn't a victory, what did a draw mean? Their captain had fought to a standstill with the strongest fighter from the Divine Knight Academy, which was practically the same as winning. Now, let's see who dares to look down on the Academy. Lancerlock and the others rushed in, and the palace guards at the door did not stop them.

The group of nobles from the Knight Academy at the front were not satisfied. If it weren't for Aklis's presence, they would have already erupted. Many people saw through the crack in the door that the two were lying on the ground.

Is Didia really that useless?

They went inside as well. By this time, Didia had already sat up, leaning against the wall, looking at Simmons, who had been rescued and was only able to catch his breath, with a somewhat dazed expression. Before he could even catch his breath, more than a dozen noble children from the Knight Academy surrounded him.

"Didia, what's going on? How could this piece of trash beat you? You couldn't even draw with one hand!"

"Yeah, you didn't go easy on him, did you? This concerns Nasser's honor."

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their faces showing considerable displeasure. They had come to support Didia because they believed Didia would win, but now they had become a laughingstock.

Didia remained expressionless. "He awakened the power of thunder and gained the heterochromatic eyes of the Eye of Secrets."

Everyone was stunned. What the heck?!

Heterochromia, also known as dual-colored eyes, means having two awakened powers. Simmons had an enhanced power before, and now he has another one. Damn, wasn't this kid supposed to be a piece of trash?
They came here simply to follow the crowd, and with their bullying of the weak and fear of the strong, given Nasser's current status as the target of everyone's criticism, and now that Didia has lost, could it be that the Nasser family's fate is sealed?

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. "Haha, it's just a win or loss, it's nothing. Didia, let's go back first."

"Yes, take good care of your injury."

The crowd arrived quickly and left even faster; soon Didia was all alone. He hadn't brought anyone from the Divine Knight Academy this time either, as winning or losing wasn't something for him to boast about.

"Haha, I didn't expect Didia to be such a good-for-nothing."

"Just look at Anthony. He always has to be the first to go for pretty girls, but he can't handle anything. This Didia is the same. Nasser is a piece of trash. What a pillar of the nation. He should have been finished long ago."

"Let's invite everyone over tonight and have a good time."

"It's good that Nasser is finished. It opens up a spot, and maybe everyone will have a chance."

The voice reached Didia before the person had gone far, making Didia's face even paler as he wiped the blood from his face.

Li Xin walked over. "Didn't you bring anyone with you? Should I call you a carriage?"

"No need." Perhaps sounding a little abrupt, "Thank you."

Li Xin smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more. Aklis had already finished showing off and returned. Two guards helped Didia up. "I'll take him back."

On the other side, Celia woke up Simmons and was mocked by him, which meant that the bastard wouldn't die. Now he's back to his aloof self. Meanwhile, Lancerlock and the others are excitedly yelling. They're going to make it big and become famous. Their boss is evenly matched with Didia. This isn't just a friendly spar; it's a duel, and it's incredibly high-level.

"Stop shaking, are you trying to usurp the throne?" Simmons said.

Lancer quickly stopped. "Haha, boss, I'm so excited! How did you do that? How much money did you give Didia? Wait, you're not as rich as him."

"Simmons has awakened the power of thunder; he's now a one-in-a-million heterochromatic knight!" Celia's tone was calm, but her upturned lips betrayed her boastful heart.

Lancer and the others immediately cheered, "Haha, boss, I knew you were destined for greatness the moment I saw you! You've finally made it big!" Little Red Roll Locke said cheerfully.

Simmons rolled his eyes at them, thinking, "What kind of people are these?"
