"Drink!"

There was a pause, allowing Cheese's claw on the other side to land heavily on Duck's cheek. That handsome face was now covered with scratches and full of mania.

But the pain made Cheese regret once again why his claw was not aimed at the other person's heart or throat.

The fist was raised, and the hard punch hit Cheese's face with incredible accuracy. The punch was so powerful that it literally distorted Cheese's entire face.

At the same time as knocking Cheese away, the fist he swung loosened and turned into a claw, grabbed Cheese's foot that had not yet flown out, and dragged him back to the other side of the cream, but at the moment of swinging out, the arrow rushed in front of him again, still intending to block the blow with his face.

"Woohoo!"

The Berserker had to stop again, pause, and let the cheese he had caught adjust his position, clamping his hands between his legs, and at the same time using his own hands to jam Duck's other hand in turn, and the whole person was like a shackle behind Duck's back, breaking his hands open, and the double swords in his hands fell, causing the middle door to open wide.

"Duck! Please, get it done! ”

Cream raised the natural short blade in his hand and stabbed him down the throat! But it turned out that he was really injured too badly, and the pain all over his body could not exert 100% strength at all. The sword failed to stab, but grazed his neck and swung out.

At this moment, Duck does not have any protective magic on his body.

However, perhaps the battle was so fierce that all the members of Mermaid Song who were present forgot about it.

But sensitivity to death is the most basic element of a warrior, especially a berserker! He felt the touch of death mixed with a cold feeling in addition to excitement. But this cold touch not only did not make the berserker shrink, but made him even more excited, and the whole person laughed wildly!

"Hahaha!!"

With this burst of laughter, the Berserker's arms quickly became engorged and his muscles multiplied! The huge force even made the back like a shackle, but the cheese that was not good for the injury on his waist was once again broken in half! Under the splash of blood, the berserker's eyes were completely red, and his fists were clenched, and with the most devastating force, he smashed it towards the head of Arrow, who rushed in front of him!

"President!"

This time, Duck didn't keep his hand.

Boom ——————!!!

Strength, exploded.

Not only was the berserker's earth-shattering punch, which smashed the entire battle stage into powder under this punch, but also the powerful impact that rose into the sky in turn turned the sky of the entire stage into complete daylight at this moment!

Here two forces tear and collide, carrying destruction and madness. With the continuous spread of this force, the people in the rest areas on both sides have now had to evacuate, and even the few people in the stands now have to evacuate to the back.

"Wow——! Whoaa——————!!!a ”

In the midst of this constantly tearing and twisting power, finally, a person's scream was heard.

And when the two forces finally decided the winner, and all the forces burst out into the sky, this duel of forces finally came to a result.

Dack Light in the Light.

Originally, the beautiful young man who was handsome and chic, with a soft face, and even a tear mole in the corner of his eye, now became bloody under the impact of this force.

His upper body was covered with all kinds of wounds, there were burns, and there were lacerations on the skin and the muscles inside, and the blood seemed to be insufficient to describe his current serious injury at this moment, just the heat that came out of his body had turned his blood into a blood mist, slowly drifting towards the surroundings.

But......

He was still standing.

Even though his whole person seemed to be indestructible, even though blood began to flow from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and even though every strand of his hair was covered with scars, the pain that was far beyond ordinary people could bear had already spread all over his body!

But...... He was still standing.

Clenched his fists, lowered his head, and continued to stand here like an immortal god of war, with every big breath of blood coming out of his mouth, looking down at the person who really failed.

Arrow, the president of the Mermaid Song...... This ordinary person, who had no strength at all, was now lying in the center of the pit formed by the explosion of power just now.

Now he no longer has any guardian magic on his body, not only that, but his eyes are now closed, and it is clear that he has been completely eliminated now.

"Whew!"

Seeing that Arrow had been pronounced "dead", Cream did not rush forward to help, but gritted his teeth and tried to urge his exhausted body to rush towards the monster!

After being impacted by the power just now, Darkk seemed to have finally recovered from his berserker state, and his excellent fighting instinct made him immediately perceive the footsteps coming from behind him, and quickly turned around and raised his hand to defend!

But it was obvious that he had already lost most of his strength, and even if he raised his hand to defend in time, he would have been punched hard in the face.

Puff——!

Blood mixed with saliva spurted out of Duck's mouth, and his body fell backwards as the fist arrived...... But the next moment, one of his legs quickly retreated, supporting his body at the last moment, gritting his teeth, and in turn throwing a punch! Heavyly, it landed on Cream's belly.

"You head...... Monster......! Can't you die?! ”

Cream flew into the air, and the pain in his abdomen made him know very well that the guardian magic in his body was about to fail! At that moment, he gritted his teeth to endure the pain, and slapped the leather armor on the chest!

In an instant, the figure of Cream in mid-air immediately split into ten people, and these ten assassins landed one after another, and then summoned up the last of their strength again, and rushed towards the berserker who was on his knees on one knee, obviously dying!

This is the final battle......

Because there is no one else in the Mermaid's Song except this assassin!

No, there are ......

And that little white cat.

Since just now, it has been silently watching everything that happened in this battle. But when that force recoiled, the little white cat's eyes only stayed on the president who fell to the ground.

"Meow~~~?"

Moving his footsteps, the little white cat came to Arrow's side and called softly.

However, the president, who usually joked with it, was now motionless, still slumped there.

The little white cat came in closer, silently watching the freed human, leaning over, sticking its tongue out of her cheek and licking it slightly.

"Meow ......"

The little white kitten's head stepped forward and silently stared at the human.

However, the human still did not move, on the contrary......

A line of blood, but it extended from the human forehead, crossed the corners of the human eye, cheeks, and ran down the human chin, and gently dripped to the ground......

Thorn -

The hair on the back of the little white cat slowly stood up.

It arched Arrow with its head again, and after making sure he really couldn't wake up, the little white cat turned its head sharply, and its whole body gradually completed the shape of a crossbow! The claws of the limbs also completely stretched out from the meat pad at this moment, and the little white cat's lovely face, which originally looked very gentle, also became hideous at this moment!

"Hiss-"

A soft moan came from the cat's throat, and of course the two people who were still fighting each other over there would not notice the change in the kitten, not only the two of them, I believe that almost everyone present would not realize what was about to happen here!

Bumper ——!

Eventually, Duck's fist landed on the remnant of the last Cream, shattering it to pieces with a single punch. Cream, who no longer had any killer skills, gritted his teeth, raised his fist without any reservation, and rushed towards the berserker, ready to deliver the final blow!

Darker was now out of breath, but in the face of the enemy who had come to challenge, he took another deep breath, clenched his fists, and forced his already trembling knees to straighten, and also rushed towards the assassin!

"You head...... Monster......!!! ”

Cream's left fist clenched, and the Hidden Blade popped out of his missing finger and slammed into Duck's face—

"Lie down——! Forever - Far ——!!! ”

In the face of the assassin's final blow, the corners of Dark's bloody mouth still appeared in a smile at this moment. He raised his hands and fixed his eyes on the impending fatal punch! At the moment when the fist was about to arrive, he immediately stretched out his hands, grabbed Cream's left wrist with one hand, and slammed the other hand into the blade of the Hidden Blade from the bottom up, breaking it in an instant.

"W-"

Cream, stunned.

But, the next moment......

"Enchantment · The power of Cuzioon. ”

The assassin's arm, which was about to be broken by the berserker, suddenly accelerated at this moment! Carrying a huge amount of power, it broke through Duck's defenses and slammed into Duck's cheek, and just like that, he was sent flying all over.

He opened his mouth, like a kite without any tow line, constantly floating and fluttering in the sky...... At last......

Smack-

Dack Hikari fell from the edge of the arena and fell to the edge of the arena, mouth open, completely unconscious.

As for Cream, he gasped for air after the sudden punch. However, his vision gradually blurred, and the last of the guardian magic that shrouded him finally disappeared at this moment, which also caused him to be judged "dead", and he fell face down on the ground, unable to move.

At this point, the entire arena turned silent.

Just when everyone was not knowing what to do for this game that seemed to be "killed", the little white cat suddenly jumped onto the chest of the now unconscious Dark, stretched out its paws, and gently pressed it on the throat of the berserker. The cat's claws had now popped out completely, and the sharp claws had even pierced into the berserker's skin. Next, with a little effort, you can completely tear this guy's throat apart!

Vice-President Napa, now using his claws, silently, against the human male who injured Airo, silently ......

In the face of this scene, the mermaid's song was simply boiling at once! Margaux put his arm on the shoulders of the tower and shouted—

"Referee! Did we win the Mermaid Song? He fainted! Is that a 'kill'? Does it count in the end! ”

The referee team was already frightened by this terrible battle, and when they looked at Margo's current questioning, and then looked at Dark, who was unconscious by his little paw on his throat, several referees nodded quickly without thinking.

And the host, who had long been hiding aside, finally jumped out of the shadows after seeing the battle situation at the scene and shouted: "Everyone! Ladies and gentlemen, It's amazing, it's shocking! In the final battle just now, the Assassin and the Guild of the Mermaid Song and the Guild of the Hand of Heaven both perished! Therefore, based on the comparison of the numbers of the two sides, the Mermaid Song 'killed' four people in this battle, and the only leader sent by the Hand of Heaven also died because of it! In terms of numbers, the Mermaid Song is still alive on the field because there is still the last vice president, the cute kitten Napa, so this battle is judged that the Mermaid Song won the final victory! Let's congratulate Merfolk Song on being the final winner of this Guild Championship Battle!! ”

The fireworks that had been prepared around were immediately lit in the hands of those soldiers and valets at the order of the host, and the fireworks that soared into the sky lit up the night sky of this holy night festival!

The winner was born at this moment, the nominal "strongest", got a result on the "playing field" with the "rules".

After a short rest, the unconscious Arrow finally woke up, but now he was still lying on the ground, feeling weak and almost unable to move.

He looked at the fireworks in the sky, at the rousing music playing by the bands around him, and then at the members of Mermaid Song who were cheering and rushing into the venue, and his heart was mixed for a while.

Won...... Did you win?

But if you win, why is there so little sense of reality?

Arrow exhaled, and even after a while his hands and feet had begun to recover, he still didn't get up from the ground.

He still just looked at the bright moon in the sky, the stars in the sky, the fireworks, and his future......

Perhaps the future has become less ambiguous from this moment on.

"Hey, how long are you going to lie down?"

The little white cat walked over and stretched out her paw and patted Arrow's face gently.

Seeing that the little white cat's head suddenly occupied the entire sky in front of him, Arrow couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "That guy...... How did we beat that guy? My recoil power...... Kill him directly? ”

The little white cat licked her lips and said, "Even if you know that I have the power of protection in your body, you shouldn't casually use your head to meet the other party's fist." My strength is not yet complete, and I can't cope with the impact of too strong a force. Other than that...... Yes, it was indeed defensive recoil that killed that guy. ”

Arrow struggled to support his body, and at this moment, he felt his head dizzy, and when he reached out and touched it, a trace of blood rolled down his forehead.

"Even with your protection, would my head still be smashed open?"

He turned his head and looked at Dark, who was surrounded by the Light of Heaven and the Hand of Heaven, and said—

"This guy...... It's really outrageous. ”

As he spoke, Arrow couldn't help but look up at the direction of the platform. I saw that the treeman's gaze also fell firmly on Dark, who was now being carried on the stretcher, and when Darker was carried down, the treeman immediately turned away from the platform and disappeared.

"President——!"

When he came back to his senses, Cream, who was struggling to get up, had happily rushed over, and was about to pounce on Arrow with his hands outstretched.

Although Arrow is now a little dizzy with a head injury, he can still understand this guy's hug very clearly, and immediately turned around, making Cream fall directly into a.

"President! We won! We really won!! ”

Cream looked up, ignoring her bleeding nose and yelled excitedly.

"It's good to win, but can you please not step on my lap? Thank you. ”

Next to him, Cheese, who only had his upper body left, said with a little dissatisfaction. Cream realized that he was stepping on the thigh of the lower half of Cheese's body, so he quickly apologized to Cheese and pulled his lower body over and put it with his upper body.

"President, we really won."

At this time, Sutta also walked up with Margaux in her arms, and the faces of the two people were full of laughter. Sutta stepped forward and helped Arrow up, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Will-long-brother-brother——!"

Just by hearing this voice, he knew who was coming, and Arrow turned his head to see that Coco, the little girl, was now running from there at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Seeing Coco rushing over, Cream hurriedly frowned, stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "Don't run!" The president is not in good health right now, and he can't hug—"

"Brother President!"

Poof, Arrow opened his hands and hugged the little girl who rushed over.

This made the cream on the side look a little embarrassed, he looked at his outstretched hand, hesitated slightly, then retracted, scratched the back of his head, and smirked.

Along with Coco, there was also Brad, and the Parfait he held in his hand. The members of Merfolk Song are now all gathered to celebrate their victory in this moment!

Looking at these members, looking at the smiles on their faces one by one, Airo had a very real feeling at this time.

Myself...... Really won!

Really won the championship! He also got the 500 gold coins that were enough to declare himself victorious!

All of this has become a reality!

"Song of the Mermaid of the Champions!"

It's just that the cheers and celebrations on Arrow's side haven't lasted long before the host has slowly walked over. His face was full of smiles, and his gaze swept over the faces of all the members of the Mermaid Song, and he said with a smile—

"It was a good game. Your battles have been a testament to courage, wisdom, unity and strength. As a host who has watched you all the way, I know that your victory is not accidental. Those who have courage do not necessarily have more strength than you, and those who are more united than you do not necessarily have wisdom that rivals you. Champion Mermaid Song, you have fully demonstrated your identity as the best of the new guilds! I hope you will continue to serve the Empire! ”

Arrow looked at the members on the left and right, and immediately saluted the host: "Yes! ”

"Good!"

At this time, a hostess walked over from the side, and the host also took out a letter of introduction and a money bag from the box in the hostess's hand. He handed the money bag to Arrow, and then handed the letter of introduction to Cream next to him.

"You have earned this glory with your own strength! Ladies and gentlemen of the Mermaid's Song, this is your prize, a total of five hundred gold coins. In addition, there is an invitation to be able to attend the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness the Second Prince held by the Imperial Family tonight! It's getting late, so please go to the side hall as soon as possible to wash up and get ready for the banquet! ”

"Yes——!"

The guild members all cheered, everyone had been waiting for this moment for too long!

Look at the current crowd, one by one lame and lame, there are still many bandages on their bodies that have not been removed, their faces and bodies are dirty, and there is a lot of blood, it is impossible to participate in the banquet with such a look.

So, now it's time to wash, and it's been a lot of washing and tidying! When the time comes, these guys will be able to appear in the most noble hall in the image of gentlemen and ladies and watch the most important scene of the entire royal family tonight!

Arrow was now also surrounded and walked towards the side hall.

But after happily walking out two steps, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the stands.

The girl...... The little girl named Qiguo and her father are gone?

No, it's not gone. It's just that they are now walking in the direction of the exit of the castle, driven by the guards!

"Please...... Please wait a moment! I'm ...... something."

Arrow parted the members around him and said to the host on the side-

"I'm going to do something and I'll be back soon!"

In this regard, the host frowned: "Doing things? How is it possible to allow you to move freely alone now? President Arrow, this is an imperial city, please listen to the command, okay? ”

"But...... But......! ”

Seeing that, the father and daughter had been driven by the soldiers to the corner leading to the outside of the city, and they were about to disappear from sight.

"There's nothing to do, President Arrow, and now please hurry up! What could be more important than an audience with His Majesty? Hurry up! Don't procrastinate! ”

In the blink of an eye, the father and daughter had disappeared from view.

Arrow hung his head helplessly, stretched out his hand, and slightly pinched the letter in his pocket, but finally sighed helplessly, and walked forward with the group.

Everyone was very happy and excited.

Walk through the hallway and into the cascading walls and palaces. The size of the Imperial City is so large that even if you walk through it several times, you will quickly get lost.

The faces of the members of Mermaid Song flashed with excitement, but with the excitement was the obvious nervousness.

They kept talking and laughing, and kept encouraging each other, hoping to cheer each other up and not lose face at the dinner party that would wait a while.

Soon, they were in the reception area. Maids and maids came out of the rooms on either side of the corridor, and began to arrange for the members to enter their rooms to wash up, and to give them a brief instruction according to royal etiquette, and to dress them up for the dinner tonight.

Coco, Cream, Cheese, Margaux, Crispa, Brad, and Parfay were arranged into the rooms, and Arrow greeted them one by one, telling them not to worry or be afraid, and promising to meet at the banquet later.

Then, wait until all the members have entered their rooms, and Arrow is about to enter the last open door in front of him......

"Ariel!"

A familiar voice came from behind Arrow again.

And when he turned his head, what he saw was still the face he was extremely familiar with...... and the smile that hung on the corners of each other's mouths, almost overflowing.

"Three years, is it over?"

The visitor smiled, reached out and gently stroked Arrow's cheek. The movements were gentle and gentle, as if they were dealing with their favorite treasure.

Arrow looked at the man, looked into the other's eyes, hesitated for a long time......

"Yes, it's over."

An equally gentle smile slowly floated to the corners of Arrow's mouth, and he also reached out and gently stroked the palm that touched his face, and laughed softly-

"Today, it's really over."

"So what are you waiting for? Look at you, get so dirty. Oops, why are you bleeding? I'll call a doctor for you right away! ”

Listening to this person's gentle and caring voice, Arrow could only smile faintly, and then shook his head: "It's okay, don't worry." It's really fine. ”

"Is it really okay? That...... If you're really okay......"

The anxiety on the corner of this man's mouth turned into a smile again, In the softest voice, attached to Arrow's ear, he said softly—

"Well, let's get everything back to its original state. Everyone, you're waiting for us. ”

In this regard, Arrow could only bow his head, for a long time, for a long time......

“………… Well. ”
