Above the new continent, following the dispersal of the heatwave from the explosion, a cyan-colored giant sword phantom appeared in the sky.
Steven looked up at the massive sword overhead, his brow furrowing slightly. He quickly sent a telepathic ssage to William, "Master, please spare his life."
William didn't respond to Steven. If he truly wanted to kill Victor, no one could stop him.
But right now, he was simply enjoying the ch.
Killing...
If Victor died from the ch's attack, it would just be his bad luck.
The giant sword Victor had conjured in the air was now fully ford, striking like thunder.
A smile appeared on William's face. This ch's arsenal was quite extensive, including a weapon called a micro-ion cannon.
He slowly raised the ch's arm, and with a thought, a white ray of light burst forth from the tip of the ch's fingers.
Steven couldn't help but swallow hard at this sight.
When did Dr. Lopez install an ion cannon?
Ion cannons are space weapons, deployed via satellites as launch platforms to strike targets on the ground or in space.
The firepower was no less than a full-force strike from a high-level Soulmancer or even a Demi-God.
Victor, with his junior Soulmancer strength, had a strike roughly equivalent to a full-force attack of an early-stage mid-level Soulmancer.
Both unleashed their attacks simultaneously, with Victor's sword appearing more terrifying in its grandeur.
The sword's light was like a column descending from the heavens, while the ion cannon's beam was only as thick as a pinky finger.
The sword light and the ion cannon beam collided in an instant.
A terrifying boom resonated in the sky, audible within a ten-mile radius.
"Clang!"
The ion cannon beam pierced through the sword light, striking directly at the blade of Victor's Erald Lion King sword.
"How is this possible?" Victor's face was filled with shock. He couldn't believe that a novice Soulmancer could still operate the ch.
The sword light still fell, striking the 096 armor.
But this ti, Victor's Blade of the Erald Lion King was shattered into pieces.
He had managed to narrowly escape disaster thanks to his years of honing a sense for danger. Otherwise, he would likely have been killed by that blast.
"William! I'll see how long you can keep up your arrogance!"
Victor seethed with hatred. Previously, he had so respect for Dr. Lopez, but now, after nearly being killed twice by William in the 096 armor, his feelings had turned to intense annoyance.
He didn't believe William could fire the ion cannon many more tis.
And besides, he seed not to have dodged that sword strike just now!
The armor must be damaged by now!
On the ground, William didn't dodge or evade the sword light. Instead, he swung the alloy sword equipped on the ch, directly eting the energy surge.
Clang!
The alloy sword emitted a clear sound, showing so small cracks.
"Not bad!" William had not used his own power, otherwise not just the alloy sword, but even a straw could have wiped out that energy surge.
He looked up at Victor, who seed to have avoided death, apparently having dodged the attack.
Missed with one shot...
Then let's fire two more!
William had no intention of outright killing Victor. He was more intrigued by the ch. The more Victor could withstand, the more interesting it beca.
It was also a chance to try out new features, right?
Victor had thought William could only fire the ion cannon once.
But just as he dodged the previous shot, another beam of light shot towards him.
"Damn it!" Victor turned pale and hurriedly dodged.
Unexpectedly, another shot followed imdiately!
Victor's reaction speed was quite fast, but the ion cannon's speed was near the speed of light, making it almost impossible to dodge without prior prediction.
He evaded the first two shots, but the third was inescapable.
The power of the ion beam was terrifying, and it hit him directly in the lower leg.
"Ah!"
Victor's lower leg was instantly obliterated into a bloody mist. Overwheld by the excruciating pain, he could no longer maintain his flight and plumted down like a bird shot mid-flight.
William smacked his lips and muttered to himself, "No more fun then."
As his words faded, a blue streak of light tore through the sky, and an elderly man flying in the air caught Victor mid-fall.
"Victor! Are you alright?" The old man grabbed Victor and stuffed a beige pill into his mouth.
"Vice-President Bennett?" After swallowing the pill, Victor's complexion remained ghastly pale. Clenching his teeth, he glared at William in the ch, his eyes filled with deep resentnt, "Vice-President, you must avenge !"
This elder was none other than Julian Bennett, one of the five vice-presidents of the Erald Lion Guild and a mid-level Soulmancer.
Although Victor was an employee of the 13th Bureau, he was also a mber of the Erald Lion Guild.
Now that William had crippled one of his legs and Julian was present, it was imperative for him to seek revenge for his guild mber. Otherwise, how could he face others in the Soulmancer community, especially with many Soulmancers present to witness the scene?
If Julian just swallowed his pride, he would only beco a laughingstock to others.
"You were on assignnt at the 13th Bureau, weren't you?" Julian, of course, recognized Steven. Victor's lack of strength resulting in his injury was a disgrace to the entire Erald Lion Guild.
Victor gritted his teeth and said, "A few days ago, a rookie Soulmancer joined the 13th Bureau. I don't know what kind of relative he is to Steven, but Steven is overly biased towards him. I couldn't stand it, so I said a few words..."
Victor naturally didn't ntion what happened afterwards.
Julian, however, filled in the blanks himself, imagining that after Steven's relative joined the 13th Bureau, they began to abuse their power, relying on Steven's authority to bully others.
He had heard about the 13th Bureau's armor.
"Wearing that armor to bully a mber of our Erald Lion Guild?"
"Outrageous! This is too much!" Julian exclaid angrily, "Victor, don't worry, I will seek justice for you!"
By age, Julian was Victor's uncle. Seeing his nephew treated this way, how could he stand by idly?
When Julian ca down with Victor, Steven imdiately approached with concern, asking, "Victor, are you alright?"
Julian responded sarcastically, "Steven, what kind of attitude is this! Our guild mber's leg is ruined, does this look okay to you? If the 13th Bureau doesn't provide a reasonable explanation today, then don't expect anyone to leave safely!"
"Hey, Mr. Bennett, I did warn him earlier…" Steven appeared sowhat helpless, recognizing that Victor had brought this upon himself and now had to face the consequences.
Indeed, William was a bit harsh in his actions, but considering his strength, it was inevitable.
Steven knew about William's abilities and understood that the laws of the 13th Bureau couldn't bind a powerful individual like William. In the world of Soulmancers, only strength truly matters.
"Advising out of goodwill?"Julian turned his head, looked coldly at William, and said, "I don't want to waste words with you today. Just pay with your life."
