Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 812: The Final Duel (Part 2)

Seeing that his hiding place had been exposed to the opponent's view, and there was no point in hiding further, Bedivere directly walked out from the last earth spike and looked up at the ominous iron ball in the sky above Xia Yu's head, feeling its threat towards him.

"It seems I can only go for a frontal assault!" Bedivere stepped on the ground, circling Xia Yu continuously and occasionally swinging his longsword to send a blast of sword qi at her, testing the weak points in her defense.

Facing such attacks, Xia Yu simply waved her hand, releasing a large flow of iron to form an iron wall around her body to block the sword qi's attacks, while continuing her efforts to condense the iron ball.

However, this also obstructed her line of sight. Bedivere was pleased and immediately accumulated sword qi within his body, moving rapidly while chanting words: "Fire High-tier Magic. Dragon Breath Technique!"

Upon these words, Bedivere was engulfed in flames, and the raging fire outside his body condensed into a giant two-winged dragon. After a dragon roar, a dragon breath was aimed and sprayed at Xia Yu in the sky.

But to the surprise of the spectators, this dragon breath did not collide with Xia Yu. It exploded mid-air into countless fireballs, scattering around Xia Yu's body. After all preparations were complete, Bedivere took a deep breath, his figure transformed into a red light and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, the energy transferred to one of the fireballs, he successfully entered Xia Yu's blind spot, and swung his longsword, releasing a blast of sword qi.

Bang! The sword qi struck the newly formed iron wall with a muffled sound! Good! Just as he expected! Another sword qi was swung out! Bang! Another sword qi! Bang!

Ping ping pong pong! Bedivere was like a patient blacksmith, jumping between every fireball, launching sword qi after sword qi, forcing Xia Yu to perfect her defenses around her body, completely blocking her connection with the outside view. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After a round of attacks, seeing Xia Yu fill the last piece of the defensive array at his inducement, a faint, barely noticeable smile appeared on Bedivere's face. With both hands holding the sword, the long-accumulated sword qi within his body gathered into the longsword.

Bedivere believed that this single strike would undoubtedly break through all of Xia Yu's defenses. Even if it couldn't kill her, it would successfully thwart her efforts to consolidate her move, leaving her with no chance of turning the tide!

This thought persisted until he saw that egg-shell-like defensive array crack open with a small fissure, through which those glaring eyes brimming with lightning locked onto him firmly. Reflecting in that faint light, he seemed to see the smile curling up at Xia Yu's mouth in the shadows.

Not good! Was he deceived? Bedivere looked up at the sky at the ominous thunderball. No! There's still time! Even if they both launched attacks simultaneously, after breaking through her defense, he could swiftly escape using energy conversion method, even if he's hit by the remnant waves of the attack, her injuries would definitely be heavier than his!

Time! Now it's about who launches the move first! This is advantageous to me!

Having made up his mind, Bedivere, instead of retreating, became more eager for battle, mobilizing and accelerating the conversion of source energy into sword qi with all his might, channeling it all into the longsword. Just as the sword qi amassed to its peak, he raised his arm, about to slash at Xia Yu.

"Bedivere won!" With satisfaction, Jiaheris closed his eyes upon seeing this scene. He didn't need to see it to know that Xia Yu, being caught in her own trap, absolutely couldn't dodge this strike, unable to launch her move in time! That's Bedivere's strategy!

"Run!" Boss's startled cry made Galis confused. Run why? Before he could open his eyes, his body was already pulled to the ground by Boss, followed by an explosion that made his ears ring. Immediately he felt the ground beneath him springing up, the violent tremor lifted both him and Boss high into the air, unable to adjust their forms before they were hit by the subsequent massive impact wave pushing them far away.

"Cough cough cough!" The earth's tremor took several minutes to gradually subside. Galis stood up from the rubble, clutching his fractured rib, healing while cursing at the doomsday-like scene before him: "What the hell happened?"

This wasn't an attack that Bedivere could have caused! His sword qi slash could inflict devastating damage on a single target, but absolutely couldn't form such a large-scale destruction. The dust from the explosion blotted out the sky, the ground had long lost its previous appearance, everywhere were cracked surfaces with several dozen meters deep chasms crisscrossing. At the end of these chasms, like a meteor crashing down from the sky, a bottomless pit was blasted into, with wisps of white smoke emanating from within, the residual heat from the explosion discouraging anyone from approaching.

"How should I know what happened! Pah!" Boss spat out the sand that surged into his mouth, glaring at the center of the battlefield and cursing: "What is Bedivere doing! At the last critical moment he froze in place, delaying action, allowing that woman to successfully gather her move and launch the attack first!"

"What did you say?" Jiaheris said in disbelief.

"You deafened by the explosion? I said Bedivere froze for over ten seconds at the last critical moment, didn't launch an attack!"

"That's impossible!" Galis shook his head, puzzled.

"How would I know what he's thinking, maybe he felt a soft spot at the last moment! Damned sensitive guy always prone to sentimentality!"

"Shut up!" Facing Boss's complaints, Jiaheris turned his head and reprimanded sternly: "What kind of person is Bedivere, others may not know but you should! Since he chose to engage in a sacred duel, he definitely follows through and won't show mercy at such critical moments, it's a disgrace both to the opponent and this battle!"

Scolded by Jiaheris, Boss calmed down somewhat and grudgingly said: "I know, but facts are facts! Can you give me a more reasonable explanation?"

Jiaheris was rendered speechless by the question, waving his hand urgently: "Now's not the time for this, let's see how Bedivere is!"

"Under such an attack, our energy bodies probably can't withstand it either!" Boss muttered softly.

"Then go find that woman! One of the two must survive!"

Amid Jiaheris's roar, the two began searching for the survivors on the battlefield. After using wind magic to clear the pervasive dust, they finally found their target: Xia Yu, exhausted and leaning against a piece of debris, and not far in front of her, Bedivere, whose body was already starting to dissipate.
