Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Battle That Can't Be Won
"Ahhh~~ I still can't win~~"
There are two ways for Leeds to eliminate the Man of the Pillar, who is known for his resilience. First, it will cause them the damage of 'enemy HP to zero' recognized by the system in a short period of time, which meets the 'obliteration' requirements of the game system, and second, the male of the pillar is not a perpetual motion machine, and any action they take requires the consumption of life energy, and if their life energy is consumed, they will not be able to regenerate.
It's a pity that Liz can't awaken in this world, and he will never be able to hit a high injury that is enough for the pillar man to judge death instantly, and it is simply a fantasy to compete with the old monster who has lived for more than 10,000 years.
Therefore, when the underground ruins devastated by the fierce battle showed signs of collapse, Leeds did not hesitate to pull back.
It wasn't until the frozen Kaz broke through the ice, Esdis, whose veins had been severed by the wind blade, came out with more veins, and Waum, who was crushed by the boulder underneath, stood up from the stones, and then Leeds spoke: "It seems that we can't help each other, so how about it now?" β
"...... 'Leeds'? You are the strongest opponent I have ever faced in 10,000 years, and I have written down your name! Kaz swung his Radiant Blade and smashed the ice around him, apparently in a bad mood.
He is not the kind of person who likes to fight against the strong like Chonglou and Mihawk, although he will occasionally say 'it's boring to find an equal opponent', but in his bones he is more willing to enjoy the superiority of 'seeing all the mountains at a glance'. Even a potential Ripple Messenger would have to be killed early, let alone a guy like Leeds.
"Hey, after you killed Cesar's friend just now, you didn't seem to be talking about what ruby you were looking for, right? Why, with your strength, why are you going after that kind of thing. Leeds asked, if he didn't think the highly intelligent Pillar Man would have the same fanatical penchant for collecting gold and gems as the traditional dragon.
ββ¦β¦ It's okay to tell you," if Liz hadn't appeared with the Ripples, Kaz would have thought about keeping it a secret so that he wouldn't have strengthened the enemy on his way to find the Eizhe Redstone, but forget it now, Liz will know sooner or later anyway, "Putting the Eizhe Redstone on the Stone Ghost will allow us to defeat the Sun and become the ultimate creature!" β
"I see," Liz nodded, smiling, "and then we'll have another fight when you're the ultimate creaturesβthough there's a good chance we'll be dead again." β
"You're ......!" Kaz, Estis, and Vaum were all stunned for a moment, and the message that Liz's statement revealed was, 'I don't get in the way of you finding gems'.
"If you had listened to my '' before, you wouldn't have been so surprised now," Liz flashed to the staircase, but didn't rush to leave the ruins, "By the way, the best one over there." β
ββ¦β¦ What the! 'Estis never felt weak, nor did he feel inferior to Wauum, but in this fight, he also knew that his team contributed the lowest, and he knew exactly who Leeds was referring to.
"I've never encountered such a stupid way of fighting as boiling my own blood to 500 degrees, and then stretching out my blood vessels to drip blood and hurt others. The so-called flame flow method, at least it must be done like this - purgatory real fire! β
The flames devoured the three Pillar Men, causing the underground ruins to partially collapse.

"I don't like it when someone fishes in troubled waters during my fight, and I don't like someone beating a water dog after my fight." Liz ran up the stairs for five meters before stopping, reaching to the side to collect the cloak of invisibility.
Beneath the cloak was Joseph crouching on the stairs, and according to his behavior pattern, it was obvious that he wanted to trick the man of the pillars. The first coward to propose to withdraw from the ground actually turned back on his own and looked for an opportunity to carry out a sneak attack, and if Leeds cooperated enough, he might be able to take down a pillar man.
"What do you say, I'm just worried about your life." Joseph, who was exposed by Leeds, quibbled shamelessly.
"As much as I like interesting guys like you, you don't even really have a 'trust' impression of me." Liz rolled her eyes, stopped paying attention to Joseph, and continued to run the stairs, "Well, after watching it for so long, you should have figured out how your opponent fights, and tell Cesar when you're done." β
"Who's going to tell that Italian?" Joseph hurriedly chased after him, "...... Speaking of the brother from another world, how much is your cloak, I sincerely buy it, quote a price, hey~"

ββ¦β¦ It's so strong, if that man learns Ripple Qigong, all of us will already die under this. Standing above the Church of Our Lady of Greece, Kaz watched as Liz and the others' cars left along the dark streets.
However, his attitude towards us is a bit strange...... "Kaz is only jealous of Leeds, but Waim still has feelings of appreciation, curiosity, and doubt for Lez. In a sense, Leeds wants to fight against him who has evolved, and he also wants to fight Leeds after evolution to test his new strength.
"Anyway, he's on the side of the humans after all, and now we need to find the Eizhe Redstone as fast as we can!" Kaz gave a grim look.
"But, Lord Kaz, human society is changing ...... now," Veum turned his gaze to the streets of Rome, which was so far from the style of human city painting they knew two thousand years ago that it felt like it would take a long time to find the Red Stone of Ezer in a strange world.
"Time is pressing, so don't be so picky." Kaz pulled out the stone ghost face and smiled slightly.
Too slow to get acquainted with this strange world? Then use the stone ghost face to mass-produce a batch of vampires, and let the vampires who originally lived in human society find the Eizhe redstone instead of them.
Kaz turned around and called out to his companion who was still wailing and rolling on the ground, "Hey, Estis, are you alright?" β
The crying stopped abruptly, and Estis wiped his tears, stood up and acted like nothing: "Whew...... Much more comfortable. β
His personality is a bit irritable, and once he is too excited, he will choose to cry to calm his head, which is a habit of his.
Kaz, who is familiar with the personality of his companion, smiled: "Huh...... It's really a cry that I haven't seen in a long time, and I have a lot of anger in my heart, right? Don't think about revenge alone. β
"Rest assured, nothing will be done until I figure out a way to take him down." Estus twisted his head.
"Alright, let's go."
Under the moon, the three brothers jumped into the night of Rome.
