Chirp!

In the darkness, a strange and eerie fire suddenly bloomed. In an instant, a vast expanse of white appeared before the eyes of the two challengers. At the same time, the vines inside the entire safe house were igniting one after another.

Countless vines twisted frantically in the flames, seeking survival. But this fire was extremely mysterious and powerful. In the blink of an eye, vines that seemed to have a life of their own were turned into ashes.

"Ah!"

Ulva’s beautiful face suddenly contorted. A piercing scream, as if it could penetrate the soul, suddenly echoed, making people’s scalp tingle.

Splurt!

Ah!

Ulva spat out a mouthful of blood. Her breath suddenly declined, at least half diminished. She was weak all over, her complexion unusually pale, devoid of any trace of color. In the end, she weakly collapsed into Tristan’s arms.

A pair of mad, hateful eyes looked at the figure appearing at the door. Waldo! Ulva’s beautiful eyes widened in anger, endless fury burning within them, wishing to tear Waldo apart.

"You dare to show up? If it weren’t for you just now, Herb wouldn’t have died! Hehe, didn’t expect you to be such a coward! If you had closed the door in time, no one would have died!"

"Waldo, you’re the one who killed Herb! Ulva’s sharp voice roared. However, she dared not lay hands on Waldo again. Just now, Waldo had burned her life vines to almost nothing, causing her great harm and leaving her seriously injured!"

Speaking of which, Ulva intentionally or unintentionally leaned her body against Tristan’s chest. Obviously, she wanted to leverage Tristan’s strength to deal with Waldo. Although she alone was not Waldo’s match, adding Tristan to the mix?

Ulva gritted her teeth and said, "Waldo, you’re just a coward who fears death! You dare to burn my magic vines, and now we are irreconcilable! I advise you to kneel down and apologize immediately, otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless to you!"

After speaking, Ulva couldn’t help but cough a few times, her face even paler.

"Darling, he bullied me, you must stand up for me!"

With a beauty in his arms and a pitiful plea, Tristan was indeed having a hard time resisting.

He looked at Waldo, his voice cold. "Waldo, as fellow challengers, newcomers should unite and cooperate, facing crises and striving for survival together. However, your actions just now are truly chilling. How can we trust you after what you’ve done? Today, I hope, Waldo, you can give us an explanation. This way, we can continue to cooperate. If Waldo can’t provide a reasonable explanation, things might get difficult."

As he spoke, flames flickered in Tristan’s eyes. In truth, he was also filled with anger. He never expected Waldo to betray them just now.

If he hadn’t used his bloodline power and finally closed the door at a critical moment, even he might not have escaped death.

Despite that, Herb still died. Herb was also a challenger, with strength comparable to his own, and he died so easily. For a moment, there was a sense of sorrow and despair.

This time, it was Herb who died. What about the next time? Therefore, he needed Waldo to explain. Not to mention that Waldo had burned Ulva’s magic vines, causing her serious injuries. A deep enmity had formed between them, and there was no room for reconciliation. At least, not for now.

As Tristan’s words fell, his aura suddenly exploded, like a mountain, surging and boundless. For a moment, it seemed as if thunderclouds were gathering within him, countless thunderbolts bursting out with occasional deafening rumbling.

Meanwhile, at the door, Waldo revealed himself and glanced at Ulva in surprise. Interesting. When he realized that these people intended to use him as a pawn, he harbored murderous intent.

Therefore, when the pale hand attacked as he opened the door, he instantly teleported away and entered stealth mode, making himself disappear.

After the crisis was averted, Waldo did not reveal his true form. Instead, he remained hidden, intending to assassinate the remaining two.

However, what he didn’t expect was that his presence had been constantly sensed by a particular aura. This aura was unique, easily capturing Waldo’s breath.

And when Waldo wanted to make a move, the killing intent in his heart was immediately pinpointed by a special aura. Subsequently, Ulva attacked Waldo.

"My invisibility ability has reached level five. Since I first mastered the skill of invisibility, no one has been able to detect my presence in stealth mode. I never thought she would discover it today. Truly a challenger."

"Those who can become challengers are not ordinary people; they have remarkable abilities and powerful means. Even now, Ulva, who seems weakened and injured, has formidable strength, approaching the level of the sea giant main god."

"If Waldo isn’t mistaken, her current appearance of being heavily injured and having a weak aura is likely a disguise. This woman is like a seductive and dangerous snake. Moreover, her perception is extremely terrifying, as she even exposed Waldo’s invisibility. Keep in mind, Waldo’s ability [Invisibility] has never failed."

"Explanation? What explanation? Are you even worthy?" Waldo sneered, walking towards Tristan, showing no fear of Tristan’s terrifying aura.

Boom! A giant shadow rose from Waldo. A vast aura erupted, raging in the cramped safe house. It was as if the air itself was about to boil, resembling a high-pressure cooker. Waldo’s eyes were disdainful, completely unafraid of the two.

"Just you two think you’re qualified to have me scout ahead? You want an explanation from me? You two aren’t even qualified! Now, I can give you a way out: submit to me, acknowledge me as your master, and I can spare your lives!" Waldo sneered repeatedly.

Very direct. At this moment, the two were furious, especially Tristan, whose raging aura became even more unstable, surging like a tide, constantly battering the safe house.

Fortunately, the safe house was incredibly sturdy; otherwise, even a house made of steel would distort under such terrifying power.

"How laughable!" Tristan’s anger turned into laughter. Ulva was equally enraged, her beautiful face turning red and contorted with anger.

"You really don’t know your place! You don’t cherish the chance to apologize, and instead, you provoke us. Do you think you, alone, can take on the two of us? Delusional!"
