Chapter 434: Acquiring the Super Source Stones

The reason Waldo didn’t act immediately was that he noticed the three individuals in front of him were fully prepared for a decisive battle with him. This situation did put some pressure on him.

Of course, it wasn’t that he was afraid. Rather, he was concerned that during the fight, the trio might secretly damage the Super Source Stones. This was a distinct possibility. They certainly understood that what Waldo desired most were the Super Source Stones.

If they knew they wouldn’t survive, they would likely damage the Super Source Stones, preferring mutual destruction. That would be a significant loss for Waldo.

Therefore, he had to think of a solution. There were two options. The first was to promise them a way out. However, this was contingent on them handing over the Super Source Stones.

The second option was for Waldo to seize the moment and eliminate the three individuals instantly, giving them no time to react and destroy the Super Source Stones.

Waldo chose the first option. As expected, upon hearing this, the three showed a moment of hesitation on their faces. After all, compared to their own lives, the importance of the Super Source Stones seemed somewhat trivial.

Alfred and the others exchanged glances, each seeing the willingness in the others’ eyes. Feeling the gaze of the other two converging on him, Alfred took a deep breath, looked at Waldo, and said coldly, "We can hand over the Super Source Stones to you, but you must ensure our safe departure. How can you guarantee that you won’t attack us after we hand over the Super Source Stones?"

All three sets of eyes were focused on Waldo. This was their most pressing concern. Waldo smiled slightly.

"Of course, I can guarantee I won’t harm you. My strength is evident; I am one of the ten great second-level trialists in the land of darkness. All three of you combined are no match for me. Moreover, once I have the Super Source Stones from you, my power will increase further! By then, in my eyes, you will be nothing more than ants. Do you think I would bother with you? Don’t overestimate yourselves! You’re not worth it!"

Waldo’s tone and words were full of mockery and disdain. Under normal circumstances, if Alfred and the others heard him speak like this, they would probably be infuriated to the extreme. As trialists, each of them had their own pride.

Even though their opponent was a second-level trialist, much stronger than them, they did not consider themselves to be too inferior. They were confident that one day, they would be able to match up against him!

However, at this moment, they were not angry at all. Although they found his words somewhat unpleasant, it actually brought them a sense of relief. This was because it showed that Waldo was arrogant and disdainful, not taking them seriously at all.

Wasn’t this the outcome they desired? If Waldo looked down on them, he naturally wouldn’t bother attacking them. This was undoubtedly the result Alfred and his companions were hoping for.

They didn’t suspect that Waldo was pretending. After all, such behavior was normal. As a second-level trialist, whether in the trial grounds or the land of darkness, Waldo was among the elite. It was normal for him to be proud and look down on others.

"Alright, we believe you!"

Alfred’s face showed a hint of struggle, but he eventually nodded.

Then, the three exchanged glances and, with some pain, took out their Super Source Stones from their bags. As soon as the three Source Stones appeared, they emitted a dazzling purple light. The light twinkled brilliantly, radiating an exciting energy aura.

"Yes, that’s it! The three Super Source Stones!"

Waldo’s eyes suddenly brightened, and even he couldn’t help but feel excited at this moment.

At this point, Alfred and the others activated their power and tossed the Super Source Stones over.

"Let’s go!"

"Move, move, move!"

After throwing the Super Source Stones, they did not linger for a moment and sprinted towards the safe house door at their fastest speed, trying to escape.

Although Waldo had promised not to kill them or harm them, it was still best to leave quickly, just in case. Otherwise, if Waldo went back on his word, they would be too late even to cry.

However, just as they reached the door, they were blocked by a figure that suddenly appeared there.

"Waldo? Damn it! What are you doing? Let us out! Don’t forget what you said!"

"No good, he’s going to kill us and steal the treasure! We have to fight our way out! This is just one of his avatars, everyone charge, don’t be afraid!"

"Let’s fight him!"

Seeing another Waldo appear at the door, the three were taken aback.

Subsequently, their expressions drastically changed as they guessed Waldo’s intentions.

"Heh, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Did you get my permission?"

Waldo’s cold voice echoed. Holding the three Super Source Stones in his hand, feeling the surging energy within, he knew these were genuine and not fakes. After storing them in his bag, Waldo sneered coldly, his murderous intent erupting once again, like a pressure cooker venting steam straight into the sky.

"Your Super Source Stones have a problem! Well, how dare you deceive me. Since that’s the case, I’ll take your lives as compensation!"

Alfred and the others cursed: "Bastard, you’re talking nonsense!"

"Charge out!"

"Damn it, I knew he wouldn’t let us go!"

"Fight our way out!"

Without any hesitation, Alfred and his companions unleashed their power, their killing intent overwhelming. Boom! Together, they instantly destroyed the shadow avatar of Waldo at the entrance of the safe house with their strongest moves and then charged outside!

Alfred and the others were filled with shock and rage, wishing they could tear Waldo apart. However, they could only flee.

"As long as we live, there’s still hope. One day, we will have our revenge."

"Using Waldo’s blood, we will wash away the humiliation we suffered today. Waldo, you wait! One day, I will tear you to pieces and turn your bones to dust. You will regret what you did today! You will pay a price, definitely!"

Alfred roared in his heart. Just then, a powerful energy burst out from behind them. They saw Waldo enveloped in flames, a giant fire dragon erupting from his body like an exploding volcano. Incredibly fast, it was about to engulf the three in the blink of an eye.

"Leaving? Without my permission, none of you are going anywhere!" With Waldo’s roar, the three trialists who were about to escape felt their breathing suddenly constricted, as if an invisible hand tightly grasped their hearts, making it difficult to breathe.

"It’s over! Is a second-level trialist this terrifying?" Alfred’s face turned pale. Seeing the giant flames about to mercilessly devour him, Alfred gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly, his figure was shrouded in a faint mist of blood.

In a flash, his body was teleported outside the safe house.
