Chapter 162: Death of Celestial Dragons
The Death Domain, a realm enveloped by the Power of Death.
The greyish-white Death Qi obscured everything from the outside world.
Hades sparred casually with Masuo while chatting.
Meanwhile, Edge, who was practicing "Health Preservation" Fist Techniques with Masuo's Guardian on the other side, was startled by what he heard.
Celestial Dragons, they were actually Celestial Dragons!
Only then did Edge realize that Celestial Dragons were involved in the World Government's Support Unit.
That woman he had just fought was also.
.
.
While his impression of Celestial Dragons changed, he also felt a bit fortunate that he had listened to Hades' command and hadn't injured that female Celestial Dragon.
Before possessing the Strength to resist Marine Admirals, it was best not to offend Celestial Dragons.
Celestial Dragons were undoubtedly people Edge couldn't afford to offend.
Even though Edge was backed by the Pluto Pirates, he wasn't someone who would deliberately court trouble.
After a brief exchange, the Death Domain dissipated.
The battle situation reverted to Edge fighting Masuo.
Hades, on the other hand, fought Masuo's "Guardian".
The Battlefield also slowly shifted outwards from the core area, trying to avoid attracting the attention of others.
Soon, Hades set his sights on the other members of the World Government Support Unit, excluding the Celestial Dragons.
The Strongmen of the Allied Forces who had nearly lost their Combatant Strength had already been led away from G-5 Fortress by Army General "The Storm Dragon".
Titan went after them, but it was highly unlikely he would succeed.
At this point, they couldn't even spare a thought for the lives of the remaining Allied Forces.
And the members of the World Government's Support Unit had no intention of saving these Allied Forces whatsoever.
The remaining Allied Forces were being slaughtered by the Rocks Pirates.
"You, you can't kill me? Do you know who I am?"
Saint Sotto finally felt Fear.
Death had never been this close to him before.
The Strength sent by his Family had been held up by Donovan.
And the scorching Liquid Gold had already engulfed his lower body and was continuously spreading upwards.
"I am..."
Saint Sotto's words came to an abrupt halt.
A Golden Spear pierced through his Heart, and immediately after, his entire Body was swallowed by Gold.
All of this happened right before the eyes of his Guardian.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
He never would have thought that the master he was supposed to protect had died.
Even though his emotions had been mostly extinguished through training since childhood, at this moment, his heart still felt boundless rage, and even Fear.
He was going mad.
He didn't know what to do next.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a roar, his Body continuously grew larger.
His powerful Physique broke free from the Restraint of Gold, and a ferocious Aura spread across the entire Battlefield.
With Overbearing Power, he stepped on the Gold, opened his massive mouth, and bit fiercely towards Donovan.
Donovan's expression changed, and he immediately retreated.
A wall condensed from Gold rose up from below in front of him.
The Emperor Crocodile's head was coated with Haki, and combined with its terrifying impact force, it easily shattered Donovan's Golden Barrier.
A nearly wild Instinct, a terrifying burst.
Before Donovan could react, a Shadow enveloped him, and what came into view was a ferocious abyss-like maw.
The upper and lower fangs were covered with Haki, and coupled with the Emperor Crocodile's terrifying bite force, if Donovan were bitten, his entire Body would be torn to shreds.
At the critical moment, the gushing Liquid Gold blocked the Emperor Crocodile's mouth.
The solidified Gold slowed down its bite slightly, buying Donovan time to dodge this fatal blow.
Celestial Dragons had died.
On the Battlefield, a Golden Statue remained, its face showing Fear.
For the members of the World Government Support Unit, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow, leaving them deeply shocked.
And this was just the first one.
Newgate, John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Quero "The Werewolf", Lyon 'Death Gun'.
One after another, these Top-tier Powerhouses completely suppressed the remaining Combatant Strength of the World Government Support Unit.
Each one required two or three opponents to team up against them.
The Rocks Pirates were serious about fighting the World Government.
Three years of War had been a tremendous test for everyone's body and mind.
The Rocks Pirates also wanted the War to end.
Since that was the case, they would thoroughly inflict heavy losses on the World Government.
Life was insignificant at this moment.
The Allied Forces were being slaughtered.
Compared to the Rocks Pirates, who had been tempered by three years of blood and fire, the Support Unit was not only lacking in combat experience but was already at a disadvantage in terms of Aura alone.
One after another, carrying dense Killing Intent and malice, they suppressed the Strongmen from the World Government in all aspects.
Soon, the second Celestial Dragons died.
Killed by a sneak attack from behind by a Great Pirate, a knife plunged into their Heart.
Fantasy was beautiful, but reality was, after all, reality.
However high-spirited they were when they arrived, that's how pathetic they were now.
Wanted to build Connections with Celestial Dragons?
The prerequisite was that you had to be alive.
Compared to the terrifyingly strong Fighting Spirit of the Rocks Pirates, the Support Unit could be said to shatter upon impact.
One after another, Strongmen died, killed by Pirates.
Sneak attacks, joint efforts, encirclement, annihilation – all sorts of methods were used, as long as they could deal with the enemy, nothing was off-limits.
These "rookies" suffered greatly when they encountered the Rocks Pirates.
They had no time to adapt to War, to adapt to fighting the members of the Rocks Pirates.
And this was War.
There were only Victors and losers.
The Great Battle lasted for half a day before the Rocks Pirates retreated and left.
Continuing the Battle would only increase the Rocks Pirates' Losses.
Compared to the World Government's Support Unit, the Rocks Pirates had, after all, just gone through a Great Battle before this, and their Strength was not at its Peak.
However, the casualties inflicted on the World Government were heavy.
Among the God's Knights Reserve, five out of ten Celestial Dragons were sacrificed.
One died at the hands of Donovan 'Golden King', two died at the hands of two Cadres of the Rocks Pirates, and two were even killed by John.
The Support Unit's Losses exceeded half.
With a numerical advantage in Top Tier Combatant, even if they were not in peak condition, the advantage heavily favored the Rocks Pirates.
The original thirty thousand remaining Allied Forces now had only three thousand survivors.
G-5 Fortress was left in ruins.
No one expected their journey this time to turn out like this.
Celestial Dragons died, just as the two Five Elders had expected, but the outcome completely deviated from their plans.
What kind of Storm would the deaths of five Celestial Dragons stir up in the Holy Land?
