Ark Undead

358. Cheers

The outcome of this match is now nearing its end.

Surtr's oppressive power was too overwhelming; the Levantine she summoned caused damage and alterations to the battlefield, directly tilting the tide in her favor.

In addition, Maria's Originium Arts and the Miracle can restore Surtr's stamina.

After being struck by the lightning spear, Bloodthorn received special attention from Levantine and was the first to be thrown off the altar.

After several rounds of dodging, the other warriors also chose to jump off the altar, conceding defeat in the match.

It's not that I don't want to continue fighting, but the opponent's suppression is clearly something I can't resist.

Moreover, Surtr has made it clear that he doesn't want to play with you anymore. He hasn't made a move yet because he wants to leave you a dignified way out.

It's not so boring that you can't see the situation clearly.

The team consisting of Surtr and Maria won the match.

But as Surtr stepped down, she took Levantine from the Titan's hand, and her face turned from rosy to pale within seconds.

And the giant behind him gradually collapsed, falling back to the ground and turning into lava in a high-temperature state.

"Hey!"

Maria reacted quickly and caught Surtr, preventing her from falling over.

"Are you alright?! Were you injured just now?"

"No."

Surtr shook her head, stubbornly stood up, and used Levantine to support herself.

"Just now, I unleashed Levantine's power. There are some... these are normal side effects, and this is already considered mild."

Surtr could not perfectly control Levantine's power. Although she was a vessel, Levantine's flames were not something ordinary people could withstand.

Her body is very special, but the aftereffects will still exist.

The specific symptoms are general weakness, accompanied by short-term dizziness and nausea.

As long as we can get through this period, there won't be any problems.

"Thank you."

Surtr didn't forget to express his gratitude to Maria.

If it weren't for Maria's lightning spear, Surtr would have been helpless against the approaching Bloodthorns.

"That Originium Arts is amazing."

Even though the bullet hit Bloodthorn, Surtr could still feel the power of Maria's lightning spear.

Unaware of Maria's background, Surtr subconsciously mistook this unprecedented spell for Originium Arts rather than magic.

Maria chuckled twice, a hint of pride in her voice.

"It's alright! If it were a teacher, he could use it much better than I can."

Maria still remembers the scene she witnessed in the arena that day.

A barrage of lightning spears, seemingly thrown from nowhere, pierced through the entire business alliance building along with the largest and brightest one.

Although the business alliance later claimed that the energy transport pipes inside the building had exploded.

However, anyone who is interested can find out the truth of this matter with a little investigation.

You can also see that blurry video that was accidentally recorded.

As one of the people who experienced it firsthand, Maria was able to use the Thunder Spear most likely because she witnessed that miracle.

The use of the Thunder Spear to shatter the threat of Bloodthorn became one of the most watched moments of the entire match.

However, Maria's expression gradually cooled down when this was mentioned.

"However, this kind of competition is still a bit unfair."

"Ah."

Surtr nodded; she agreed.

"That one called Bloodthorn is very strong."

Although the two did defeat Bloodthorn, they both had to admit one fact.

Bloodthorn's skills were bound by his own actions.

He had absolutely no intention of killing these two people.

Bloodthorn's strength lay entirely in his ferocious attacks as a lightly armored warrior.

However, he had no intention of killing his opponent, and as a blood demon, he wanted to suppress his fighting spirit, so he tried his best not to see blood.

In his attacks on Maria and Surtr, he deliberately refrained from striking their vital points.

Furthermore, he didn't fully utilize his Originium Arts abilities, which disrupted their blood circulation systems.

Otherwise, Maria definitely wouldn't have lasted more than half a minute.

Surtr couldn't possibly have lingered with Bloodthorn on Levantine for that long.

It's fair to say that Bloodthorn wasn't giving it his all; he was practically playing around.

The fight between the two did not ignite his full fighting spirit.

Compared to the battle with the Undead, Bloodthorn was completely suppressing himself.

"Go back and rest first."

...

On the other side, Bloodthorn stood up from the ground and patted the burns on his body.

His wounds healed almost instantly. The scabs and necrotic skin tissue were easily torn apart by the blood thorns with a few quick scratches. He patted his body down, and these things fell to the ground like dust, scattering into the dust.

"fine?"

A voice rang out from right behind Bloodthorn.

Bloodthorn turned around in surprise and saw the Undead.

The immortal actually came to care about him?

Could it be that today is my lucky day?

Bloodthorn raised an eyebrow. To receive the attention of the War Knight was a privilege not everyone could enjoy.

As it turns out, Bloodthorn was overthinking things; the Undead had only come to ask questions.

"You didn't use your full strength."

The Undying's words are both a statement and a question to Bloodthorn: why not use your full strength?

The audience might not be able to tell. But putting aside the fact that no one dies, Skadi is a warrior who has experienced countless life-or-death battles.

Even Morton and Melantha were frowning.

They realized that Bloodthorn was holding back in every move, and had no intention of harming the two of them at all.

Even the first soldier they dealt with was only cut in the chest and had some blood drained before the operation stopped immediately.

This was merely a means to render him incapable of fighting.

This shouldn't be the case for a Bloodthirsty Demon like Bloodthorn.

Bloodthorn sighed and shrugged.

"We can't fight, there's nothing I can do. I'm afraid I might accidentally kill them both."

This sounds childish and pretentious, but it's the truth.

Some people's fighting skills are designed for killing.

Just like the fighting techniques that the Undead taught Melantha, every sword strike was aimed at the opponent's weaknesses and vital points, with the goal of killing the opponent in the shortest amount of time, or completely incapacitating the opponent.

Bloodthorn is just like that.

Blood Demons are the most dangerous race among the Sarkaz, and also the most prone to going out of control.

They are controlled by their impulses to quell their rage, which is why Bloodthorn doesn't use Originium Arts frequently under normal circumstances.

Once Originium Arts are used and blood is in contact, the urge to kill will arise.

Bloodthorn enjoys fighting and doesn't want to turn fair competition into a slaughterhouse.

This was perhaps the only good habit he acquired in Kazimierz.

Not to mention the two on the other side, one of whom has a somewhat complicated relationship with the Undead, and the other is the Undead's personal disciple.

Moreover, Maria and he had a good relationship, so Bloodthorn couldn't bring himself to do it.

Even if it meant severely injuring Maria, Bloodthorn couldn't bear to do it.

Who can blame Maria for being so adorable?

"Row."

After receiving a response from Bloodthorn, the Undead didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

"Hey! How can you be so heartless! Aren't you going to care about me at all?!"

Bloodthorn hadn't expected the Undead to be so decisive, but recalling it, it seemed that the War Knights had always been like this.

As he spoke, Bloodthorn laughed.

"Fine, you really are like that."

The Undead glanced back at Bloodthorn, pointed to the stage, and indicated that he was going to watch the match.

Bloodthorn looked up and discovered that it was Melantha's match.

So he quickly caught up with the Undead.

"Hey! Wait for me, I want to watch it with you too!"
