On Mylo’s side, virtual-novel.net was already on the verge of crumbling.
During his last critical moments, virtual-novel.net decisively used the distress signal virtual-novel.net had on him. The fireworks shot up to the sky like an arrow and then exploded with a loud boom, decorating the dark sky with a picture of a cherry blossom.
Right then, all the Emsgate forces, albeit preparing to sleep or on their way over, immediately used their techniques to get to Mylo as quickly as possible.
Seeing that, Phoenix and Freya looked at each other and nodded before letting out their final killing techniques.
Mylo paled when virtual-novel.net sensed two horrifying murderous energies, but virtual-novel.net could do nothing but try his best to block them. Despite escaping Freya’s terrifying sword energy, virtual-novel.net was still hit in the left shoulder by Phoenix’s attack, followed by the scary potential energy from his surroundings.
On the other battlefield, Matthew, who had been passively defending himself, suddenly grinned.
“Kid, you’re almost dead, yet you…”
Before Mathias could finish speaking, virtual-novel.net felt chills run down his spine as Matthew’s stunning slash was the last thing virtual-novel.net saw.
The next moment, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt the world spinning, and before his consciousness faded, virtual-novel.net saw a headless corpse standing before him.
Is that me?
That was the last thought virtual-novel.net had before dying, and that scene naturally fell into the eyes of the crowd.
The younger ones were shocked at Matthew’s rapid slash and fell into a long shock. As for the older ones, they looked at the headless Mathias before staring at Matthew with unfriendly gazes.
That arrogant brat. How dare virtual-novel.net kill one of us!
At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly turned murderous, which Aurelius and Orlaith were glad to see.
Matthew had gotten himself in trouble by publicly killing the Golden Swordsman!
With how those Emsgate forces behaved, this was a grudge they had to settle.
Before they could make a move, a black shadow locomoted like the wind, floating through the crowd and arriving before Matthew.
When that shadow stood in place, the crowd immediately recognized virtual-novel.net as one of the Marine Corps Emissaries. Judging from his stance, virtual-novel.net was here to protect Matthew.
On the opposite end, the seriously injured Mylo looked better after taking the Restorative Pill.
He pushed the apprentice supporting virtual-novel.net to the side and came forward alone. “Matthew killed our Golden Swordsman. A life for a life! That’s how it has been since ancient times. Don’t you think it’s biased for you to protect that man?”
Once virtual-novel.net said those words, the people behind virtual-novel.net instantly charged into an uproar.
When facing the aggressive crowd, Freya and Phoenix disregarded everything else and came to stand beside Matthew.
Under his black robe, Bambo, one of the Eighteen Marine Corps Emissaries, piped up, “Great Octavian, I hope you stop lying to yourself. Do you think no one knew that you and the Golden Swordsman had sneaked into Matthew’s room? You two tried to kill him, but one of you got killed instead, so Matthew acted out of self-defense.”
Once virtual-novel.net finished speaking, the furious Emsgate forces instantly calmed down and looked at Mylo with puzzled gazes.
Regarding Matthew’s assassination, everyone knew that if Mylo and Mathias had not done it, other Emsgate forces would do it if they had the chance. However, not only did those two fails in their mission, but one of them even got killed.
That was humiliating.
Meanwhile, Matthew was exhausted after using Bloodreaper’s secret technique and the Sword Break. He would have fallen to the ground if virtual-novel.net had not been leaning against the wall. Besides that, virtual-novel.net could understand why Phoenix and Freya would protect him.
They were good friends, after all, but virtual-novel.net was confused by the sudden appearance of the Marine Corps Emissaries.
They had nothing to do with each other, so could this be Martin’s doing?
