200: The capital of Cel Star

"I'll do it."

"You should go rest."

Li An shook his head at Nie Guang, who was still forcibly holding on in the fight. His condition had deteriorated too much, and facing the Saint, who had barely suffered any losses, was still too much for him.

"Let me try again."

Seeing Li An step down, Nie Guang immediately gasped. His condition was already very weak, and continuous fighting caused his wounds to constantly bleed, leading to a continuous decline in his state.

Anyone with eyes could see that Nie Guang had no chance of turning the tide.

And the Saint he was fighting seemed more like he was toying with him, treating him as a mere plaything to be molded at will.

"Hehehe, does Heartbreaker want to surrender?"

"Or do you want to use a human wave tactic?"

The remaining Saint wasn't foolish either. Right now, he could only find a chance to escape by continuing to fight Nie Guang. If it were this new, unfamiliar Contractor, he wouldn't know if he could win.

After all, even Nie Guang, after Li An stepped down, had to ask for a little more time.

"Three minutes."

"After three minutes, I will personally make my move."

Facing Nie Guang's request, Li An naturally couldn't refuse. After all, he was only helping this time, and Nie Guang was the protagonist of the trial mission. Since Nie Guang wanted to fight to the end, he couldn't refuse.

"Thank you."

Seeing Li An's affirmation, Nie Guang immediately responded.

Immediately after, Nie Guang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he instantly locked his gaze on the Saint.

The next second, a powerful heartbeat suddenly echoed in the void. Thumping sounds, continuous and unending, reverberated through the arena.

"He's going all out."

Seeing this, Li An immediately whispered.

He could tell at a glance that Nie Guang had activated some ability to stimulate his potential, allowing him to recover his strength, or even greatly increase it, in a short period.

However, this ability also had a fatal flaw: after the ability wore off, he would enter an extremely weakened state.

"It seems you really want to die."

Seeing Nie Guang's sudden surge in strength, the Saint immediately sneered. However, while the Saint appeared nonchalant at this moment, he was actually panicking internally. He had been able to suppress Nie Guang largely because Nie Guang was already injured. Now, with Nie Guang activating his potential, he immediately fell into a disadvantage.

And the result was exactly that. With a mere tremor of his body, the ground beneath Nie Guang, who had activated his potential, let out a huge roar, and then cracked into fissures.

Boom!

Nie Guang, with his potential activated, was like a humanoid giant beast. His terrifying fist power directly caused ripples in space, forcing the Saint to constantly retreat.

But even if the Saint constantly dodged, it was ultimately futile. Nie Guang, with his potential activated, harbored an intense desire to kill the Saint, vowing to take his life.

"Get out!"

"Get out of here!!!"

"Stay away from me."

The Saint kept retreating, while Nie Guang, relying on his terrifying extreme strength, kept closing in.

Finally, the Saint, whose mind was affected, still revealed a flaw, which Nie Guang seized. Nie Guang directly grabbed the Saint's neck and then twisted it with force, instantly snapping the Saint's neck.

Phew~

Only then, after killing the Saint, did Nie Guang finally let out a complete sigh of relief.

As he loosened his grip, the Saint's body, unable to be supported, immediately fell to the ground. He himself collapsed directly to the ground, clearly having given his all.

"You're truly amazing."

At this moment, Li An walked up to Nie Guang. He looked at Nie Guang, who was gasping for air. He could understand why Nie Guang insisted on doing it himself; it concerned his dignity, his pride.

Li An put himself in Nie Guang's shoes and could imagine that if it were him, knowing he was not in good condition, he might have allowed his companions to join. After all, all he wanted was victory, and as for the means or methods, he didn't care as much.

As long as the outcome was as he wished, that was enough!

Li An knew very well that he and Nie Guang were different. He was the type of person who would achieve his goals by any means necessary, but Nie Guang was much more upright, and would instead give his opponent a chance for a direct confrontation.

"It's over."

At this moment, Nie Guang saw Li An approach him and smiled. He raised his hand towards Li An, who, seeing this, smiled slightly and immediately reached out to pull him up.

Ding! Detected that the victor of the World War has been decided. The victor is Death Paradise!

Ding! Trial mission: World War has been completed!

Ding! The final stage of the trial mission is about to be released!

Trial Mission · Final Stage: Defeat the Serel Guard

Mission Difficulty: Lv.99, Elite-level

Mission Description: Facing the decision of King Sain Dale, some individuals within Sel Star hold opposing views. They are unwilling to see their homeland become territory of the Paradise, and thus, with malicious intent, they have voluntarily applied for the task of guarding the World Core. However, in reality, it is to kill those from the Paradise and disrupt the transaction.

Mission Objective: Eliminate all enemies and obtain Sel Star's World Core!

Mission Penalty: Forced execution!

...Ding! The final stage mission has been released. Proceeding to Sel Star's Royal Capital · Land of Radiance!

At this moment, as Li An pulled Nie Guang up, the Paradise's notification sound immediately echoed in the ears of both of them, as well as Mark.

Thereupon, Nie Guang and Li An, hearing this notification, immediately exchanged glances. At this point, they had not expected that the trial mission would have a continuation.

"I..."

After the shock, Nie Guang first looked down at his body, then shook his head with a bitter smile.

Clearly, in Nie Guang's current state, he was unable to continue with the upcoming mission. He would only be a burden, a burden that would drag down Li An and Mark.

"Sir."

At this moment, Mark also came before the two of them. He looked at Nie Guang with a worried expression, clearly concerned about Nie Guang's condition.

"Hey, what's with that expression?"

"I'm not dead yet."

Nie Guang naturally saw that Mark was worried about him, but being as proud as he was, he didn't want to see that expression on Mark's face. He immediately pretended not to care and cursed with a smile.

Just then, as Nie Guang's words fell, the notification sound for entering Sel Star's Royal Capital immediately echoed in their ears.

And at this moment, the three of them could also see that the Contractors of Death Paradise were also disappearing one after another. Clearly, with the end of the World War, it was time for them to return to the Paradise.

Ding! Entering Sel Star's Royal Capital · Land of Radiance. Countdown begins, 10... 8

At this moment, as the countdown began, the three of them quickly disappeared from their original spot.

Some Contractors also saw the three disappear, but they didn't pay any attention, thinking that Li An and the others were returning to the Paradise, just like themselves.

However, in reality, the three of them had already arrived inside an extremely mysterious capital city.
