Edge of the Apocalypse

Within the dark purple mist of light, a blazing moon rose. The two different attributes of Origin Energy cancelled each other out, and more than half of the shadow mist around Allen was immediately annihilated, revealing a huge gap. Alan stepped out with a calm posture, causing Ann's pupils to shrink violently.

"Impossible" An Si finally couldn't help but scream, "You actually activated the engraving!"

Ellen did not answer and rubbed his body. An Si's heart trembled when he saw that the mad slaughter in his hand was still swirling with flames, not showing the slightest sign of extinguishing. Alan was actually using a continuous ability.

Most offensive abilities are instantaneous outbreaks, while some last for a long time. The explosive ability has the advantage of inflicting massive instant damage, while the persistent ability focuses on endurance, both of which have advantages and disadvantages. However, after releasing his power and drawing out all the Origin Energy in his body, the fear in Anse's heart was indescribable when faced with Allen's self-igniting Flame Saber.

One was determined to kill the enemy, while the other was timid. The fighting spirit between the two of them was more than a thousand miles away. At the end of Allen's arrival, Anse could not help but retreat.

The Flaming Moon rose again!

In Alan's hand, Kuang Tu pulled out a blazing crescent moon and slashed it at An Si's head. An Si's eyes were filled with the Lunar Flame. The surging heat pounced on his face, and he could even smell the burning scent of his hair. Ans shouted and retreated. His eyes were still scorched by the howling flames, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Alan had already jumped up high.

Kuang Tu turned a small half-circle and arrived behind him. Alan shouted, his Origin Energy surging wildly pushing Kuang Tu to pull out a beautiful arc in mid-air. As a result, two moonlights appeared in the night sky in Anse's eyes. One was a faint silver glow, hanging high above the horizon. One of them was a brilliant flame that stretched out in front of him!

The Flaming Moon that descended from the sky brushed past An Si and landed on the ground, blasting out a few fire paths and spreading in all directions. An Si's entire body was sent flying. He was in midair, and his entire body had already been ignited by the flames. He screamed and rolled on the ground, but he was unable to suppress the flames. In the end, he instinctively activated his Origin Energy to suppress the flames on his body with the remaining Origin Energy. However, Ans had already suffered from many burns, and his hair had been burnt to a crisp. Most of his face was charred black and red, and it was horrible to see.

He struggled to get up, shouted and turned around to run. Seeing this, Alan shouted, "Lucy! Stop him!"

"Of course!" Lucy raised her pistol and pointed it at Ann's head with her steady hands.

Under the stimulation of Origin Energy, the lines on the spear were activated. Light patterns flashed and formed a rose pattern on the spear. When the rose vine pointed at the muzzle, Lucy pulled the trigger.

Qing Yue's unique voice rang out. Amidst the gunshots that resounded throughout the valley, An Si, who had already run a hundred meters away, suddenly shook and finally fell to the ground!

A great battle ended here.

Alan stood up and wiped the Wild Butcher Blade with his hand. The burning flames were extinguished, and at this moment, there were still ten seconds left before the limit of the burning time. Kuang Tu's blade emitted an astonishing heat. Fortunately, the burning was only using the weapon as the medium to release it. There was a layer of Origin Energy that isolated the flames from the weapon. Otherwise, even if the thousand degree flames did not melt Kuang Tu, they would still burn the Magic Cube sequence inside.

Walking to Lucy's side, Alan asked, "Are you alright?"

Lucy shook her head and smiled brightly, "It's fine, but I can't guarantee you'll be late."

"Then, let's go." Alan looked at Ans' corpse, but there was no joy in his eyes after defeating the strong enemy.

"Why are you so unhappy?" Lucy waved her hand in front of him.

Ellen forced a smile, "Nothing much. It's just that this is the first time I've used an engraving. It's just that I'm not used to it."

"I see. I thought you were injured." Lucy patted her chest and pulled Ellen's hand with a smile, "Didn't you say you were leaving? Why are you still standing there?"

Under the moonlight, Lucy's smile was like a dazzling river of stars, brightening up the entire world. However, the brilliant light pierced through Alan, and Ans was already dead. However, there was only one person in the Death Arena who could win, but it was like a shadow that enveloped Allen's heart. He and Lucy were the only ones left.

Could it be that he had to kill this girl in front of him?

Alan suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?" Lucy sensed something was amiss.

Alan looked at her, his eyes gradually becoming firm. He shook his teeth and said, "Lucy, let's run!"

"Run? Why run?" Lucy's eyes were puzzled.

"Idiot, have you forgotten the rules of the death arena?" Alan tapped her head unhappily.

Lucy held her head and stuck out her tongue. "So that's what you're talking about."

"Then why do you think I'm running …" Alan shook his head and his gaze softened. "Although I really want to use this opportunity to change my fate. That way, I can avenge my mother and Bai Fang, but you are my friend, my true friend!"

"After all you've done for me, I will never betray you, let alone kill you!" Allen spread out his hands and smiled bitterly. "So the only way left is to escape from here. Get out of Babylon and get back to the surface."

Lucy expropriated the land and looked at him for a long time before she said, "Then what about your revenge?"

"Of course I have to take revenge, but it's just a little more difficult. But if I give up my morality and justice to avenge myself and kill a true friend, then what am I!" Alan felt relieved after he finished saying those words. At the same time, he finally understood what Ron meant when he sent him out of the camp.

Yes, there are some things that you still have to persevere with. Otherwise, he would really become a devil!

"You know what, Alan?"

"Huh?"

Lucy walked up and said, "You don't know how happy I am to hear what you're saying."

Lucy stood on tiptoe and kissed Allen on the cheek.

An unnatural distortion suddenly appeared in a nearby space. Fortunately, this distortion quickly disappeared. After kissing Alan, Lucy held his hand and smiled, "Let's go. Even if we want to escape, we have to make a good plan. And maybe a miracle will happen tomorrow?"

"Compared to miracles, I would rather believe in myself." Alan said.

"You arrogant maniac!"

"This is just a normal judgment."

The two of them moved farther and farther away. After they left, Metalon's figure appeared in the air. The old man touched his silver-bearded chin and looked in their direction. "You should be proud, kid. You're a lucky guy to win His Highness's friendship."

"Then, let me create a miracle for you."

While Alan struggled with how to escape from the island and Lucy still looked heartless, the atmosphere in the command hall of the death arena was heavy.

"Yes, repeat the scene just now. No, adjust the angle, you idiot!"

"Alright, alright, that's the angle. Zoom in, I want 100% precision!"

Alstair roared like a human bear, the last excitement in the minister's presence, such a disgraceful appearance made the people in the command hall tremble with fear. When an image that Alstair had requested was displayed on the screen above the hall, the minister seemed to have lost all his strength. He stared at the image, his fat face trembling, and finally formed a bitter smile.

In the picture, it was the automatic pistol that was filled with rose patterns when Lucy shot Ann.

"Golden Rose … Golden Rose of Shatter! It is indeed it, so this Lucy is His Highness?" Alstair shook his head and said, "No wonder I heard that His Highness wanted to visit the Federation, but it was delayed for more than half a year. So … damn it, I'm in big trouble now!"

The assistant murmured, "Your Excellency, who is that His Highness you are referring to?"

"She is" Just as Alstair was about to say it, an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the hall.

"Big … Sir, there is a high intensity peak Origin Energy in Yellowstone Park." A staff member's face was pale as he stammered, "Energy level, energy level is Level 26!"

Alstair felt a faint pain in his head and shouted, "Hurry up and summon the area of origin reaction!"

After a burst of hectic manipulation, a scene appeared on the screen above the hall. In the picture was a towering mountain range. On the highest mountain peak, an iron tower-like figure made Alstair's eyebrows jump. When the image was enlarged, Metalon's face appeared on the screen. Looking at this face, Alstair smiled bitterly, "Marquis Metallon, he is the teacher of His Highness. So, Lucy is …"

'"The death arena is over! Contestant Lucy is dead. Do whatever you want. Tomorrow morning, you have to release the news and don't make the public suspicious," Alstair shouted to the staff below.

"And what happened tonight, I don't want to hear rumors like this outside. Otherwise, be careful of your heads and your families' heads!"

He shouted at his assistant, "Now connect me to His Excellency the President!"

The assistant asked, "But by now, Your Excellency the President should have fallen asleep."

"Then wake him up! Trust me, if he wakes up tomorrow morning and finds out about it, your head will have to say goodbye to your body!" Alstair was like an affectionate bull, his nostrils buzzing, his breath almost hitting the assistant's face.

"Yes sir, I will do it now!" The assistant screamed and ran out.

At this moment, Alstair shook his head. He remembered the rumors about His Highness and the headache-inducing titles. For example, Edward's Calamity Star, Sly Pearl, and so on made Alstair feel that the God of Calamity was waving his hand in greeting.

In contrast, Adele, known in Babylon as the "Mosen's Goblin", was not even troublesome. After all, the troubles that His Highness created were never fierce.
