Immediately, everyone chased after Waldo at their fastest speed. Just moments ago, they had combined their efforts to severely injure Waldo. His wounds were so critical that he couldn’t last long, and his speed was greatly diminished. Thus, within less than ten seconds, they caught up to Waldo’s shadow clone.

"Kill him!" Perry, the ruthless one, glared fiercely.

"Waldo, surrender now, and I might spare your dog’s life! Stop your futile struggling, hand over the super Source stones, and I, guarantee I won’t kill you! Hand over the stones to us, and I can even help you fend off the other two. How about it?" Light also spoke, tempting Waldo to surrender the super Source stones.

At this moment, Waldo was practically certain to die without any hope of survival. Logically, hearing Light’s words, he should have clung to this lifeline and handed over the super Source stones. But, unexpectedly, Waldo burst into insane laughter:

"You want the super Source stones? Hahaha, are you dreaming?! Come on! If you want to kill me, let’s die together!"

As he laughed, Waldo’s body rapidly inflated like a balloon being filled with air. Violent energy rampaged wildly within him, some of it even manifesting externally in a chaotic manner.

"Such terrifying energy!" Perry’s face changed color.

"Damn, he’s not planning to take us down with him, is he?"

Seeing the surging energy, Perry didn’t think twice and retreated. However, at this moment, Waldo charged straight at them.

"Get back!" Perry roared.

Boom!

The next moment, a massive explosion sounded. Waldo’s body shattered into pieces, and the violent energy wreaked havoc. Perry screamed as his body was thrown into the air, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Coughing, Perry struggled to rise from the ground, a trail of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.

"Damn, just like that, he’s dead?"

Perry’s face was incredibly grim. The blazing flames around him no longer showed any sign of Waldo.

Waldo had just self-destructed, injuring him in a desperate move.

The super Source stones, gone?

Waldo died just like that?

"What the hell, for real? That was so sudden!"

He had just tried to take Perry down with him, but Perry reacted quickly and dodged, though he was injured. However, Waldo ended up dying himself!

Waldo was bound to die anyway: his death was expected, but nobody thought he would choose to commit suicide. Unfortunately, it’s unclear whether the super Source stones survived or not.

At this moment, Buck’s live stream room was buzzing with intense discussions. By now, thousands of trialists had flooded into the stream, all eager to see how the second-level trialist Waldo died.

However, when the result came out, everyone was somewhat stunned.

It was too fast!

The battle ended too quickly! From the beginning of the fight between Waldo and the others, it only lasted a little over ten seconds before he started fleeing. Then, within another dozen seconds, he self-destructed.

All in all, it was less than a minute.

How could a top-tier trialist die so quickly within such a short time?

Many felt that something was off.

"Is he really dead?" Buck’s eyes were fixed on Silva, the mysterious second-level trialist, as he slowly shook his head. He knew Waldo wasn’t dead.

"The real show is still to come! No, Waldo isn’t dead! If he was, why isn’t there the slightest smell of blood in the air, nor any trace of his remains?"

From the beginning, there was something off about Waldo. His death was too abrupt.

At this moment, the Lei brothers were whispering among themselves. Their sharp eyes quickly sensed that something was amiss. Waldo’s death was too sudden, beyond their expectations.

Upon reflection, they realized that Waldo never intended to fight them from the start. He fled as soon as he was at a disadvantage.

"What was his purpose?"

Soon, Perry and Silva identified this issue.

Silva spoke loudly, "I always felt something was off, and I think Waldo must have had some plot. Look, the flames here haven’t dissipated. Instead, they seem to be gathering, and, unknowingly, we have been surrounded by flames!"

"Everyone, gather quickly, and let’s break out together!"

As he spoke, the surrounding flames suddenly surged, emitting tremendous heat.

"Damn it, Waldo isn’t really dead! But where has he gone? Where is he hiding?"

In their uncertainty, the Light’s brothers, along with Perry and Silva, gathered together, alert to their fullest.

Waldo, hidden in the shadows, seemed to have premeditated this. Cooperation was their only way out.

"Let’s go, let’s break out together! Then find Waldo and kill him in one fell swoop!" Silva said.

"Alright!"

"Okay!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, without any objections.

They then moved towards a direction where the flames were less intense. However, they failed to notice that the one who made the suggestion, Silva, quietly fell half a step behind them.

Watching their exposed backs, a strange smile crept onto Silva’s face. This smile, filled with contempt and murderous intent, was chilling to behold. It was a classic case of a hidden dagger in a smile.

Then, his figure subtly changed, becoming thinner and shorter in stature. His rugged cheeks transformed into sharp, well-defined features.

It was Waldo!

Yes, the so-called Silva was actually Waldo himself from the beginning. He had been waiting for this moment. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

He knew well that with his strength, even though he could easily handle other second-level trialists, killing them head-on was as hard as scaling the heavens. He needed a different strategy.

Thus, this scene unfolded.

First, Waldo used his shadow clone to injure Perry, the most significant threat to him. Then, he struck from behind to deliver a fatal blow.

Perry was doomed!

The brothers, on the other hand, were not a big concern. It would just take a bit more time, not much at all.

A long spear quietly appeared in Waldo’s hands!

All of Waldo’s power was channeled into it.

Suddenly, the spear became like a bolt of lightning cutting through the night, exploding with an unblockable ferocity!

Pshew!

A burst of blood blossomed.

Caught off guard, Perry’s chest was pierced with a huge hole! Almost his entire chest was penetrated. His heart and other organs were instantly shattered by the ferocious power!

Bang!

Waldo’s fist came crashing down, and Perry’s head exploded with a loud bang. His body flew away like a kite with its string cut.

A second-level trialist died just like that!

It was so sudden!
