Chapter 471: Taking the Initiative to Strike

"I sense the breath of life within, Waldo is in there, he hasn’t left!"

"If it doesn’t work once, we’ll try again! I refuse to believe he can keep this up indefinitely."

Bones and the sword are both decisively resolute, not the kind to dawdle or drag their feet.

Their target this time is to kill Waldo.

Dispensing with idle chatter, they act as soon as they appear.

The sooner Waldo is killed, the sooner they can report back!

The two exchange a glance and nod.

The next moment, the Divine Eye opens again.

Boom! Boom!

...

Two more rays are fired, striking the safe house.

However, this attempt fares even worse than the first.

More runes gather on the safe house, and an ancient mystical turtle seems to entwine with it, becoming one.

The huge turtle shell is the best defense.

Golden runes flow, as if nothing can breach its barrier!

The two destructive beams fall.

They only cause some ripples...

What else is there?

Nothing.

It’s like an insignificant stone thrown into a vast, boundless lake.

Just causing a little ripple, hardly significant.

"This..."

"How could this be?"

Bones and the sword both change complexion, their eyes widening.

Seeing this, it’s as if they’ve seen a ghost!

"It seems that this Waldo has some tricks up his sleeve! To think a mere third-level trialist dares to be so arrogant, he must have some means to enhance the safe house’s defenses!"

"Even so, he cannot escape death!"

The two never considered sparing Waldo.

The reason is simple.

If Waldo doesn’t die, they might be the ones to perish.

Knowing their master’s temperament, if he learns they couldn’t kill a third-level trialist, would he keep such failures around?

The answer is obviously no!

Subsequently, the two had no other choice.

They had to grit their teeth and keep bombarding the safe house.

"I want to see how long you can last! Maintaining such a high-intensity defense must consume a lot," the sword sneered.

He exuded an unparalleled murderous intent.

At first, he thought the battle would end quickly.

Killing a third-level trialist seemed as easy as lifting a finger, right?

But who knew it would turn out like this.

It seemed that a quick resolution was not possible.

His anger was instantly ignited.

Fury roared within him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

In the sky, a kaleidoscope of colors unfolded.

Energy churned like a boiling ocean.

The sword and Bones spared no effort, going all out regardless of the cost, desperately attacking the safe house.

The land around the safe house was pockmarked and completely fractured, with the ground sinking several meters.

The soil turned to dust, blown away by the sweeping winds...

After two hours of continuous onslaught, they had no success.

By this time, their expressions were extremely ugly, more unpleasant than swallowing flies.

"It’s still not breaking through the safe house’s defense, this is impossible! How can a safe house of a third-level trialist be so strong? Moreover, the most important purpose of a safe house is to guard against monsters. We’re different from monsters, it shouldn’t be so effective against us!"

"But Waldo’s safe house has kept us at bay for so long..."

And that wasn’t the most critical issue.

The key point was that the safe house, seemingly impregnable, appeared unbreakable for the time being.

Two hours weren’t enough, and even another two might not suffice.

"We can’t continue like this. After expending our strength intensely for two hours, our consumption is too great. Continuing could lead to trouble," the sword couldn’t help but say.

Although he was arrogant, he was not reckless.

Bones, despite his reluctance, had no choice.

He could only nod in agreement.

"Alright, let’s rest for a bit, regain our strength, and then continue. I refuse to believe that he can escape our grasp!"

However, just as the two planned to rest, suddenly...

Click.

The sound of a door opening echoed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

In the darkness, it was so distinctly audible, so jarring!

Bones and the sword turned their gaze in surprise, their expressions startled.

A figure they knew all too well appeared at the entrance of the safe house.

"Waldo?!"

"Does this kid have a death wish? Daring to come out?"

The two three-eyed natives were overjoyed.

Without a second thought, they charged towards Waldo.

What was Waldo planning to do?

Did he know that the two were exhausted and wanted to take the chance to escape?

Or did he intend to confront them?

Heh, it could only mean that Waldo overestimated himself!

Bones sneered inwardly.

Once Waldo left the safe house, he would be nothing.

Just one move, and Waldo would turn to ash, killed by him!

"Attack!"

Boom!

Sword and Bones unleashed their boundless murderous intent.

The short distance of a few hundred meters was covered in an instant.

As they neared Waldo, ready to strike him down...

At that moment...

They suddenly felt an unprecedented, immense danger.

"This is bad! There’s something off about this Waldo!"

"Don’t hesitate, make it quick and kill him!"

The two didn’t give up the chance to kill Waldo.

The reason was simple.

Missing this excellent opportunity meant they didn’t know when the next would come.

Their master’s punishment was not something they could endure.

...

"Heh!"

Waldo let out a cold laugh.

His gaze was indifferent, his expression calm, showing no sign of panic or distress.

Although he felt tremendous pressure emanating from the two, after all, they were two powerful level-four three-eyed natives, more fearsome than real level-four trialists!

But Waldo’s eyes, sharp as a fire-eye crystal, could see through deception as if he were looking into fire. He understood more clearly than anyone that these three-eyed natives were all show and no substance, seemingly strong but actually weak inside!

After two hours of assault, their internal power was nearly depleted.

At this point, for Waldo to deal with them would be easy, despite being only a level-three trialist!

This was confidence!

"If you come to kill me, you must be prepared to die in battle!"

"Come, and do not leave! Join the countless monsters that have perished!"

Waldo laughed coldly, holding nothing back.

Boom!

A storm swept through, an endless inferno filling the area in an instant.

A long spear, carrying immense energy, suddenly split into two, each part hurtling towards Sword and Bones!

"Die!"

Sword and Bones roared.

Like two giant snakes exuding an aura of destruction, they struck at Waldo.

As the two terrifying serpents made contact with Waldo, an unparalleled explosion erupted!

The ground buckled under the pressure, sinking several centimeters!

At the same time, terrifying gales capable of tearing steel rampaged, sweeping in all directions.
