“Only Grade C?”
Sinesa was a little disappointed. She had thought that she had caught a big fish, but they were only two small shrimps.
Sylvia felt her bum aching from the fall but realized that she was not injured at all. This attack was only a probing strike from Sinesa. While Feidin’s psychic shield was broken, it had blocked the majority of the attack. Furthermore, Feidin had absorbed most of the damage for her.
Standing up, Feidin felt a warm sensation in his nose. Wiping his nose with his hands, his hands were immediately covered with blood. At the same time, his head felt as though it was being stung by needles.
Bearing the pain silently, he maintained his calm expression and turned to look at Sylvia. With a forced smile, he said, “I am alright. Don’t stay here, or I will have to divert my attention to take care of you.”
As Sylvia heard that, she gritted her teeth, took up her sword, and ran away resolutely.
She knew that her strength was lacking, and staying behind would only create trouble.
Feidin turned back around to meet the enemy. Tidying his clothes, he took a deep breath and began channeling his psychic energy.
“You aren’t going to escape?” Sinesa said with excitement.
“We are both Psychics, and it won’t hurt to have a spar.” Feidin forced a smile.
Sinesa’s eyes widened, and she asked doubtfully, “A Grade C Psychic like you wants to spar with me?”
“In truth, this is my first time fighting with my psychic abilities,” Feidin said with a serious tone. “I do not like to fight. If you can spare me, I will be very thankful.”
Sinesa could not be bothered to continue talking and unleashed her powerful psychic energy. She was prepared to get rid of the fellow in front of him before killing the little girl who had run away.
It would not take too much time anyway.
Boom boom boom!
The space between the two of them began contorting, and a series of attacks exploded.
Plop…
A few seconds later, Feidin collapsed onto the ground with his every orifice bleeding.
“Overestimating yourself,” Sinesa sneered before walking over Feidin’s body.
Just as she was about to give chase to Sylvia, Feidin’s weak voice sounded from behind.
“Cough cough… battling is truly difficult. I am indeed unsuitable for such violence…”
Feidin stood up shakily with his face full of blood. Blood was dripping down from his elegant face and onto the ground.
Sinesa turned around with a frown. She had unleashed her psychic energy without any restraint, and the other party’s head should have turned into mush.
Forget it, another few attacks won’t be that big a deal.
Feidin coughed out a mouthful of blood and said with a bitter smile on his face, “I shouldn’t have forced it. I am indeed not suitable for this… Yes yes yes, I am trash. Stop scolding me, I already have a headache…. Er, I also know that you are hurting. Be good, don’t make any noise. Alright then, I shall promise you. Just don’t let my body die… Jeez, I am truly reluctant.”
“Who are you talking to?” Sinesa was bewildered. Turning back to take a look, she realized that there was no one else beside her. She then came to a realization… This person must have been beaten up by her to the point that he went crazy.
“You are truly unlucky to have met me.” Sinesa unleashed her psychic energy again. She would never hesitate when killing the enemy.
Boom!
The next moment, Sinesa felt a loud ring by her ears as though a bell was constantly being rung in her head. It was as though her brain was being constantly hammered time and time again. Feidin remained still, and she was the one to fly backward instead.
With a loud crash, Sinesa collapsed onto the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. After falling into a daze for a while, she looked at Feidin with shock.
Just what is going on‽
Feidin seemed to have transformed into a completely different person with his charisma being transformed. His actions became gentle as he wiped away the blood stains on his face like a girl. At the same time, a look of delight could be seen in his eyes.
“Why do I feel as though you are the one with bad luck? I was just worrying about not having a target to vent my anger!”
Feidin… or rather, Chen Xing circulated her psychic energy, and the might of her psychic energy displayed was more than ten times greater than before.
Seeing that, Sinesa’s expression dropped.
“You like to fight, right?” Chen Xing gnashed her teeth. “This old lady will accompany you to have some fun!”
Chapter 498 - Battle of Noriosse (4)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios!
“Huu, huu…”
Sylvia panted heavily as she ran while avoiding all the enemies that she could. A battle of this level was still too much for her, and she was not able to do anything at all. Feidin was still delaying the enemy, and she did not dare to waste the opportunity that Feidin had created for her.
After running for a long time, Sylvia felt her lungs burning, and she could no longer run. Bending over, she panted heavily with her hands on her knees.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a violent gust of wind blew over, and the wind pressure being sent out by Anur was becoming more and more powerful. A look of fear could be seen on Sylvia’s face. With such a large radius, it was impossible for her to escape. She stood on the spot in a daze and raised her head to see the storm getting nearer and nearer to her.
Right at that moment, a mechanical Amphiptere charged out from nowhere, and with its chest and helmet region splitting open, it swallowed Sylvia up. The next moment, the cyclone swept over, and the mechanical Amphiptere was swept away.
Sylvia was hidden within the mechanical suit, and apart from being dizzy from the impact, she was safe. After escaping death, she cried out in surprise, “Phillip‽”
“Master asked me to protect you, hum… He said that the cyclone is expanding, hum…”
She then looked up at the sky, and through the field vision of the mechanical suit, she realized that the sky within the protective shield had formed a large cyclone with numerous items being swept up into it. The cyclone was still expanding, and Anur was currently flying in a clockwise direction like a ray of light stirring up the atmosphere.
The protective shield was only so big, and Anur was prepared to go all out and create a cyclone that could fill up the entire protective shield. In a sealed area, his cyclone would be able to very quickly achieve a destructive power capable of flattening the entire place.
In the sky, Anur’s speed was too fast, and neither Han Xiao nor Nagakin could even touch him. Anur could only be bothered with flying in circles, and the other two were completely helpless.
“If we allow him to continue, when the cyclone is completely formed, everything within the protective shield will be destroyed, and even his subordinates will not be spared. Is he treating his subordinates as chess pieces to abandon?”
Nagakin’s tone was heavy. With his experience, he could already foresee the ending. Since they could not catch up to the other party, there was no way for them to stop Anur. If the Noriosse Protector who was watching on the side could help them, they might be able to stop Anur. However, the Protector did not not seem to have any intention of helping.
The battle on the ground quickly shifted away from the center, but there were still many who ended up being swept up and turned into a bloody mess by the violent wind pressure. Many of Han Xiao’s machineries had not been spared. His mechanical beasts struggled helplessly in the storm, and the cannon towers whose foundations were underground had been uprooted in the wind.
Looking in from the outside, it looked as though a grayish cyclone formed of many random objects was expanding rapidly, and the protective shield would occasionally be scratched by the objects in the cyclone, creating sparks in the collision. It was like a spinning
washing machine.
The sky was spinning, and the earth was shaking!
In the storm, Han Xiao’s attack armor had long been destroyed, and his Void Dragon mechanical suit was also riddled with holes. All of his energy was diverted toward the mechanical wings and thrusters, and he was only able to barely stabilize himself in the storm. Seeing the situation getting from bad to worse, he knew that if he did not stop Anur, everyone would die for sure.
A Grade A who went all out was far too powerful. Han Xiao had even used [Life Return] once in the battle. However, the mission progress bar had thankfully begun to move. If not, Han Xiao would definitely have been driven mad.
Han Xiao truly looked forward to having such powerful strength. Han Xiao was currently level 116, and he had more than 200,000,000 EXP on the interface. If not for the fact that he had an advancement, he would have to probably use [Life Return] another one or two more times. Currently, the majority of his abilities were useless. After all, DarkStar’s attack was far too sudden, so he did not have much time to prepare. Furthermore, Han Xiao had not had many opportunities or much time to build new machines since his advancement.
Thankfully, I have Ames’ Character Summon Card. Without it, my only option would be to escape. At least I still have a trump card up my sleeves.
Han Xiao made a decision in his heart before shouting out to Nagakin in the communication channel, “What is your most powerful attack?”
“What do you mean?” Nagakin asked with doubt.
“I have a way to make Anur stop. I should be able to restrict him for ten seconds or so. He will not be able to move or use any of his abilities during that time. This is the only chance that we have to severely wound him,” Han Xiao said with a deep voice.
The situation of the battle was ever-changing, and despite them being disadvantaged, Han Xiao remained calm. Even though he had a trump card up his sleeve, the resistance of a Grade A Super was extremely high, and even if Anur did not specialize in defence, it would be impossible for him to destroy his opponent’s combat capability with his damage alone. He had already tried this once on Ember.
Only Nagakin, who was also a Grade A Super, would be able to deal a fatal blow and not waste this precious Dragon Emperor Character Summon Card!
“Ten seconds or so? Are you really able to restrict Anur‽” Nagakin asked with disbelief and thought that he heard incorrectly.
Ten seconds to someone of their level was no longer a ‘chance’ but the difference between life and death!
However, how would the Grade B Black Star be able to restrict a Calamity Grade Super for ten seconds‽
“Just believe me,” Han Xiao replied. Anur was an Esper who specialized in speed. No matter what, it should be impossible for his Strength to exceed 1,800 points, right?
“… Fine.”
Nagakin took a deep breath. Black Star had been able to make Ember retreat and had never disappointed him before. Perhaps Black Star was truly capable of doing so. Nagakin decided to trust Black Star once and immediately began to circulate his energy. His entire body was instantly covered in pugilist flames, and Nagakin seemed to have turned into an inextinguishable ball of golden fire. The storm was unable to extinguish this ball of flames but instead made it grow even more powerful as the wind blew.
He did not need ten seconds. Stopping Anur for a single second was enough. A storm of combo attacks was his most powerful technique, and he was only afraid that it would not hit the enemy.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the Wind Demon, which was moving at a high speed. Raising his hand up to target the Wind Demon, Han Xiao concentrated fully.
Victory and defeat would be determined in an instant!
…
“What is he trying to do?”
Anur also noticed Han Xiao’s actions, and he could still clearly see every detail in the storm.
He did not understand Han Xiao’s actions but was truly surprised at the fact that Han Xiao had been able to survive in the most violent region of the storm until now. For a Grade B Super, Han Xiao’s life force was truly too stubborn.
However, he should be at his limits. Anur then directed his gaze at the periphery of the battlefield. The Protector had also made his move and was currently moving toward Black Star. He seemed to have felt that Black Star was in danger and wanted to take Black Star away. The next instant, Anur understood the intentions of the Noriosse Financial Group.
“Trying to save Black Star because you don’t want to provoke Ames? Humph, fat chance!” Anur sneered coldly and controlled a gust of wind to attack the incoming Protector. After delaying the Protector slightly, Anur’s body charged forward toward Han Xiao, carrying with him a frightening wind pressure capable of destroying a mountain!
Anur wanted to get rid of him right there and then!
“Sh*t!” the Protector gasped. The upper echelons had asked him to intervene in emergencies and prevent the high-grade battle strength of both parties from being killed. He had originally wanted to move Black Star away from the battlefield, but never had he expected Anur to attack Black Star instead. Even with the risk of angering the Protector, Anur wanted to kill Black Star! He was truly fearless!
Right at that moment, a frightening energy signature burst forth from Han Xiao’s body.
The entire atmosphere seemed to have been frozen in place.
Hum!
A woman’s hand appeared behind Han Xiao and stretched out her palms toward the incoming Anur.
“That’s… Dragon Emperor Ames!”
Nagakin, Anur, and the Protector were dumbfounded!
Chapter 499 - Battle of Noriosse (5)

The next instant, a terrifying might that shook the three Calamity Grade Supers descended and launched toward Anur.
“What‽” Anur’s expression changed drastically.
Boom!
The speeding Anur was stopped instantly without any form of retaliation. The surrounding atmosphere seemed to have been frozen in space and Anur was like a bug trapped in amber, completely unable to move.
_____________________
You used [Character Summon Card—Ames]!
[Force Field—Gaze of the Dragon] is currently determining the target’s STR. Target’s STR: 466 points… Judgement complete.
Anur has fallen into [Trapped] status for 14 seconds.
_____________________
How is this possible‽
Being caught completely off guard, Anur was thoroughly shocked.
Such a frightening restriction ability. Could it be the Dragon Emperor’s strength‽
While it’s true that Black Star is the Dragon Emperor’s subordinate, why is he able to use the Dragon Emperor’s strength‽
Anur had not felt panic for a very long time. At that moment, his calmness was completely destroyed. No matter how much he tried, he could not move an inch or say a single word. Looking at Nagakin, who was charging over blazing brightly, fear could finally be seen in his eyes.
Bang!
As though a golden bolt of lightning had been smashed into his chest, Anur’s weak wind pressure shield was shattered, and the sound of Nagakin’s fists smashing into Anur’s body sounded like thunder in the clear sky.
Nagakin had been accumulating the force of this strike for a long time, and its might could shake the mountain and blow cities away. Those fists of his were sufficient to destroy an entire district. However, Anur’s body was fixed in place, and he could not fly out anywhere. The entire force of the attack could only be borne by his body.
A mouthful of blood was spat into the violent winds!
Bang bang bang!
Nagakin let out a roar and unleashed all of his frustrations. An endless afterimage of fists and kicks could be seen and every single attack of his hit Anur squarely in the chest. Anur was like a living target board who could not move. He had no choice but to endure the storm like attacks with his body’s shape being vis
ibly contorted!
“Too violent.” Han Xiao’s brows twitched as he watched the scene. At the same time, he could hardly resist the temptation to add in some sound effects to complement the show. However, Han Xiao did not remain idle and raised his High Frequency Strike Cannon to attack as well.
This is a rare opportunity! The higher the damage, the better!
The two of them trapped Anur in the middle and gave him a good serving of their attacks.
Without the wind pressure shield, Anur could only endure the attacks with his physical body and was beaten up to the point his bones were shattered and his flesh was mashed up.
His broken bones protruded out from his skin, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
The Protector did not have time to even be shocked. His mission was to stop both parties from being killed, and Anur was also one of his protection targets. Previously, he did not think that there would be a need for him to help Anur, but the situation suddenly changed, and the target that he had to protect was Anur.
However, Anur had released a wind pressure cannon to delay the Protector’s footsteps right before he was restricted and caused the Protector to be unable to save Black Star in time.
Fourteen seconds of crazed attacks. When the control time ended, all the accumulated force from Anur’s body exploded forth.
Boom!
A bloody firework went off in midair!
An Esper who was not able to use his abilities would be far more vulnerable. For example, a defensive Esper might be able to block a nuclear explosion with their shield, but they would not be able to block a nuclear explosion with their own body. Anur did not specialize in defense, and by restricting his speed, Han Xiao and Nagakin had been able to quickly whittle down all of his HP.
After a series of violent attacks, Nagakin had finally vented all of his anger. He had been surrounded by Anur and Ember last time and suffered pretty severe injuries. This time, he had finally gotten his revenge. Usually, when he fought an enemy of the same grade, the enemy would pull away after a couple of blows. How would he get the opportunity to beat his target up to his heart’s content?
