After dragging this out for so long, it was ti for the dream to end!
"It's over now..."
Glancing at Bernardo, Rocky vanished in a flash!
When he reappeared, it was right behind Bernardo, and simultaneously, the third Magic Conduction Machine exploded. Without giving Bernardo a mont to react, Rocky swiftly flew around him several tis. Although he never stopped moving, his speed was so fast that nobody could see him clearly, but the fact that Magic Conduction Machines were continuously exploding revealed what he was doing.
He was relentlessly destroying the Holy Angel Armor!
In just the blink of an eye, Rocky once again stopped in front of Bernardo, but this ti, when he stopped, all eight Magic Conduction Machines behind Bernardo were already destroyed!
Similarly, when Rocky stopped this ti, the glow emanating from the White Demon Armor gradually dimd, indicating that he had restored the armor to its normal state.
However, none of that mattered now, because in those few breaths, he had destroyed all eight Magic Conduction Machines behind the Holy Angel Armor. Consequently, without the Magic Conduction Machines to supply Mana and their crucial role in both offense and defense, the Holy Angel Armor was like an angel who had its wings plucked, no longer possessing its forr strength.
Facing such an outco, the entire square succumbed to a deathly silence.
Excitent?
Long gone.
Cheering?
Also long gone.
At this mont on the square, not to ntion cheers or shouts, there wasn't even the sound of breathing, for everyone had held their breath, staring in disbelief at everything unfolding on the stage, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
The common folk on the square couldn't comprehend why Rocky, who had just been at a disadvantage, had suddenly changed like he was a different person?
It wasn't just the onlookers who couldn't understand; even Bernardo on the stage didn't get it!
"Why... why... why..."
At this mont, Bernardo was stupefied, floating aimlessly in mid-air, completely dumbfounded facing Rocky, failing to comprehend why he had lost or how it could be possible for him to lose.
He was supposed to win!
From the beginning of this fight, he had been overpowering Rocky! How could he have possibly been turned around?
Right, it was impossible!
He couldn't possibly lose!
Hovering numbly mid-air, Bernardo was thinking when suddenly, he roared aloud and charged furiously at Rocky!
He refused to believe everything that had just transpired was real, he refused to believe he had lost; he needed to win, he had to win this duel and make Rocky roll away in defeat before him!
Athena was right, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt.
If Rocky had decisively won the match from the start, sothing he was fully capable of doing, Bernardo would never have ended up like this, because, as Athena had initially said, Rocky's victory was expected.
Instead, Rocky did not do so, and by showing weakness, he lit a fire of hope in everyone. What's more terrifying was that he kept building on this non-existent hope, leading everyone to believe that the match was no longer in question and everyone was waiting for Bernardo to win.
But just when everyone thought that way, Rocky suddenly pulled off a reversal!
This way, when a sudden 180-degree turn occurred, the massive shock from the shattered hope instantly overwheld everyone, with Bernardo being the first to break under this impact!
We saw him flying towards Rocky in a roar, but it was clear to everyone that although he had maximized the speed of his Armor, it was very slow, lacking the previous lightning speed, and it wasn't even comparable to Mass-produced Armor now.
There was nothing he could do; after losing the supply from the Magic Conduction Machine, the Holy Angel Armor's Mana had plumted. Although the Magic Stone embedded in the armor could still maintain operation, its combat capability was long gone.
Pity that Bernardo did not notice this, with his mind already in psychological collapse; the only thought was to kill Rocky!
But... that was rely a thought…
When he finally charged up to Rocky, and just as he raised the Mana Sword in his hand, Rocky grabbed his wrist, and imdiately a snapping sound was heard—Bernardo's wrist armor was easily crushed by Rocky!
The material of the Holy Angel Armor was certainly beyond reproach, but without the support of Mana, even the hardest material was just re steel, which couldn't withstand the strength of the White Demon.
As the wrist armor was crushed, Bernardo cried out in pain, and the Mana Sword fell from his hand. Then Rocky grabbed his neck with his other hand and hurled him down fiercely, smashing Bernardo onto the ring like a cannonball!
With a loud boom, Bernardo heavily crashed onto the already shattered ring, and when he struggled to get up from the ground, he found a figure standing beside him…
Lifting his foot, Rocky stepped onto Bernardo's chest, pressing him firmly underfoot with a bit of force, making it impossible for him to struggle up!
Thump...
Thump...
Thump...
As Rocky firmly pinned Bernardo underfoot, so of the onlookers just collapsed to the ground, not just the commoners, many from the Mairente Family did the sa…
This scene was too much of a blow for them!
The sight of Bernardo being pinned down completely breached everyone's psychological defenses; the despair from shattered hope was unbearable for the people, especially the mbers of the Mairente family. Many of the young ones who were jumping and cheering earlier were now stunned, even Lexington sat down powerlessly, and Abraham stood dumbfounded, just like the rest of the family and the people on the square, in utter silence.
And at this mont, when people looked back at Rocky, their gazes had beco much purer.
Before, people viewed Rocky with hatred, then with contempt, and when he suddenly erupted in power, the surprise also brought a bit of fear. Now, as they looked at him again, all that was left in their gazes was fear.
At this point, as people looked at Rocky, the gaze was filled only with pure fear, a kind of dread that seed to emanate from deep within, like seeing a nightmare co to life!
And this kind of gaze was exactly what Athena wanted for Rocky; under the dominion of this fearful gaze, the Mairente family would struggle to recover!
