Tazmi and Yuriko did not give in to each other in the confrontation between the knife and the staff. No matter how Tazmi attacked, he could not hurt Yuriko at all. It was more like playing dodgeball than fighting.
But on the other side, it was a tragic battle, from the ground to the river and then to the sky. Will had an unknown source of motivation, but his speed and strength had increased greatly. Although Brand still had the advantage, it would still be difficult to defeat him without killing him.
"I won't admit defeat!"
He would always follow his own thoughts. His thoughts were like a block of wood, and he would only maintain a fixed belief. But for normal people, Will's thinking was correct. He wanted to save the corrupt empire from the inside, not through night raids that only relied on killing people.
When a person had a firm goal, they would become stronger. Brand found his own shadow in Will. Once upon a time, he was as passionate about the Empire as Will was and helped the Empire eliminate its enemies. However, time and experience had taught him that this was a mistake. No matter how many enemies he killed, it could not compare to the status that others had exchanged for with money.
It was obvious that Will didn't realize this. He was already dragging his wounded body, but he was still wholeheartedly working for the empire that existed in name only.
"Will, you can't beat me. We both know that. If you continue like this, it's hard to guarantee that your hands and feet won't be crippled. My companions are already monitoring Aiders, which means that there's no hope of rescue. Let..."
"So... Do you want me to give up struggling and surrender?"
The dark blue armor had completely lost its luster, but Will's emotions did not weaken in the slightest. The situation was so bad, but Will still smiled faintly under the mask.
"Hehe, just now you deliberately provoked me to stand up and fight, but now you want me to surrender. I really don't understand the thoughts of you assassins."
" You don't want to give up? Then I can only take away your ability to move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the battle between the Diji envoys continued. (It was said that a battle between Diji relic envoys would result in a death without a tie, so this rule was ignored.)
Both of them had expended a lot of energy, but their movements were still fast and powerful. Tazmi lay on the ground and watched the battle between the two men. Just by watching from the side, he could feel the immense pressure.
"To actually be able to fight with big brother to this extent, Will is really strong."
" He is considered one of the best among the hunters. Unfortunately, it seems that he has no intention of joining us."
"That being said…Why are you still sitting on me? Speaking of which, I don't understand the meaning of this bitter scene at all."
Yuriko leisurely sat on Tazmi's back, and knocked Tazmi's stone head with the hilt of her saber.
"Idiot, this is the only way Will will believe that you're not a member of our Night Raid. Moreover, you lost to me because you were too weak. If you're not convinced, then work hard and train hard in the future. You won't lose so badly, right, junior?"
It was hard to imagine that such hurtful words could be said in such a gentle tone. Whether it was 'too weak',' hard work', or 'young master', all of these words hurt Tazmi's heart. Although he was also vicious, it was a completely different expression from Maryin's. At this moment, Tazmi had goosebumps all over his body.
Tazmi stared at the ground that was only made of rocks with a baffled expression. Yuriko glanced sideways for a moment before crossing her legs and continuing to watch the battle. In this hot weather, watching this kind of battle, if there was an ice cream, it would be a perfect match.
"Haha, thank me then. Wait a moment."
... [The System suddenly had a bad feeling…]
"Hmm? Did you say something?"
As her mood changed into a blue window, Yuriko carefully looked at the endless list of things that only she could see. In the end, she chose a few things.
"I found it. 50 points for one is enough to buy. Haha!"
She suddenly laughed happily after hearing those words and seeing something.
As Tazmi was lying on the ground, he couldn't see Yuriko's movements. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw something that made him drool.
"This... This is, haha... Great, it's ice cream "
Yuriko was holding an ice cream cone made of three colored snowballs in both hands. She licked the brown snowball that represented chocolate.
"Wow, you really have to eat ice cream in summer. It's too delicious. Here, this is a consolation gift for you."
Tazmi took the ice cream excitedly and said gratefully.
"Thank you very much. I haven't eaten for a long time, hehe. However, we are enemies now, right? Isn't this a little unnatural?"
Before she could even take a bite of the ice cream, Yuriko snatched it away at lightning speed. Yuriko took a bite of the ice cream that she had snatched and made a cute sound with a harmless expression.
"Thank you for reminding me. I almost forgot. Brand isn't done yet. I'll buy him another one later."
A frog slowly jumped in front of the petrified Tazmi. With every step it took, it made a " Baka " sound. Yes, you haven't heard of it, it was " Baka ".
The two sides had been in contact for an hour. The battle between Yuriko and Tazmi had long ended, and the victor between Brand and Will was almost decided.
Will's movements had already begun to slow down, and cracks had already appeared on the armor on his four limbs. In fact, Will was already over-consuming his body, and his mind was beginning to fall into a trance. He had already reached his limit and was about to lose.
When he thought about losing, the dark blue armor turned into smoke and disappeared. Wier fell to the ground, exhausted. His bleary eyelids kept urging him to sleep. There was only one thought left in Will's blank mind. Sorry, Tazmi. Sorry, Captain.
Seeing this, Brand also canceled the emperor relic's disguise. He let out a long sigh and walked over to carry Will away.
" So strong, Tazmi. He's worth learning from."
Seeing Will in such a miserable state, Tazmi felt a little sorry for him, but this was also for his own good. Staying with the hunters would sooner or later lead to an even more tragic battle. But in the end, it was still his own fault, and Tazmi kowtowed.
"I'm sorry, Will."
Yuriko looked up and stretched lazily, looking sleepy.
"It's finally over. Let's go back."
Just as everyone was about to take Wier away, a commotion came from afar, followed by the sound of gunfire.
"This is…"
Yuriko felt uneasy. Before she could open the map to confirm the situation, two figures had already jumped out of the forest in the distance.
Her red and blue eyes met, and Yuriko gritted her teeth.
"Aiders!"
