Chapter 566: The Traitor
Chapter 566: The Traitor
“What the hell! Livia, are you trying to be a traitor? You can instantly kill a level 99 Stein, but you can’t handle a level 70 non-specialist? What are you playing at?”
At this point, one of the followers finally couldn’t hold back.
He couldn’t bear to see Livia letting another opponent go.
They wanted to see this non-specialist cut down as quickly as possible!
As soon as his voice fell...
The crowd on their side erupted like a wildfire.
Everyone started criticizing Livia.
“Traitor! Traitor! Livia has betrayed the Dark Church!”
“She can kill a level 99 but not a level 70? If this isn’t betrayal, I’ll eat my own crap!”
“No, wait! Maybe Livia has fallen for Ling Zhan? I mean, Ling Zhan has tons of obsessed fans worldwide!”
“Seriously, that crowd is pathetic. All they do is idolize him online. In this day and age, treating a non-specialist like a celebrity? It’s disgusting!”
“...”
One by one, the followers started ranting hysterically.
Like a pack of deranged lunatics, they kept scolding Livia.
The opposing spectators weren’t about to back down.
“Oh, give it a rest! So what if I’m a Ling Zhan fan? He’s strong, not pretentious, and has a clean reputation. What’s wrong with admiring someone like that?”
“Exactly! What do you want us to do, idolize brain-dead followers like you and believe in some evil or dark god? Trash!”
“So just shut up already! You’re just jealous of our Ling Zhan!”
“You losers are always jealous of our hero!”
“...”
Ling Zhan: “...”
What...
What is happening?
Why am I being dragged into this nonsense?
And these spectators...
What do you mean by our hero?
Since when did I become yours?
I can’t with this!
Ling Zhan felt helpless.
He didn’t understand why spectators were even allowed at this match.
A simple live broadcast would suffice; letting spectators in was just a test of patience.
Ling Zhan had now become their so-called “hero.”
In his previous life, this kind of talk was absolutely unheard of.
“Sigh!”
Ling Zhan sighed deeply, glancing at Livia, who had distanced herself.
The main issue was that Livia was simply too peculiar.
Despite being the Dark Church’s Holy Daughter, she showed no killing intent on the battlefield.
Look at the Demon Arrival Holy Sons and Holy Daughters...
Even though they looked decent, their expressions revealed nothing but madness!
Since that’s the case...
It’s better to defeat her first.
Then everything else could be addressed.
As Ling Zhan made his decision...
Hm!?
Livia’s eyes widened!
Because...
Standing right before her was a tall man with an indifferent expression!
His 1.9-meter frame completely dwarfed her petite figure of barely 1.5 meters!
The shadow he cast entirely enveloped her in darkness!
At the same time...
Boom!!
Livia felt an overwhelming demonic pressure emanating from Ling Zhan!
“This...”
“Demonic blood!”
“You’re a demonic blood holder!”
Livia exclaimed in terror as she instinctively raised her staff to unleash an S-tier life-saving spell!
However...
To her horror, she realized that invisible chains of space had already wrapped around her body, completely restraining her!
These chains were imperceptible in form...
But undeniably real!
“Your strength is weak.”
“It shouldn’t be...”
“For someone capable of instantly killing Stein, how can you be so fragile? It’s as if you’ll shatter at a touch.”
Ling Zhan muttered indifferently.
“If you have the guts, just kill me! Winning and then mocking—is that supposed to be fun?”
Livia said coldly.
Even now, she couldn’t sense any desire from Ling Zhan!
Not even the desire to kill!
Despite intentionally allowing herself to be caught!
Well...
Maybe not entirely intentional.
She knew she couldn’t evade this man’s skills.
Since she couldn’t avoid it, she planned to turn it to her advantage.
She hoped to provoke a killing desire in him.
Then she could turn the tables!
Simple as that!
However...
Ling Zhan’s emotions remained entirely unperturbed!
A monster!
He was definitely a monster!
Any human, no matter how composed, would still harbor some desires. Even those who claimed to be detached couldn’t achieve the complete absence of desire like Ling Zhan!
He defeated her without even a shred of competitiveness, dominance, or bloodlust!
It was as if defeating her was just a mundane, inconsequential task for him!
In other words...
Ling Zhan treated beating her as part of his routine!
No, wait...
Even eating and drinking involve appetite!
This guy was doing it effortlessly!
This...
Livia was utterly despairing.
Completely despairing!
Whoosh!!
Both sides of the audience were stunned by the sudden turn of events!
What the hell?
The match had just started...
Livia retreated, Ling Zhan seemed to teleport to her, and then she was restrained!?
Huh?
What’s going on here?
It was even easier than killing the Succubus Janet?
At least in the previous match, Ling Zhan had used a variety of trap skills.
But against Livia, who had instantly killed Stein, he just approached and subdued her!?
“Damn! Is Livia acting?”
“It’s obvious! Dark Church, fire this Holy Daughter! Replace her!”
The followers’ shouts darkened Karakto’s expression further.
Even the nearby tier-four powerhouses were caught off guard by what they had just witnessed.
However, due to Karakto’s presence, they didn’t dare utter the word “traitor.”
“It doesn’t matter, Karakto. If Livia dies, she dies. With Ling Zhan’s ruthless nature, Livia won’t survive this.”
The scruffy old monk Jin Yuchun chuckled.
Andrea glanced at Ling Zhan, who had subdued the Dark Holy Daughter in one round, and shook her head with a sigh.
She began to doubt...
Doubt whether this deathmatch was just making a mockery of them!
She also questioned if joining the Demon Arrival Organization had been a foolish decision!
Hmm...
It might be time to prepare an escape plan.
After all, her involvement in the organization was for a specific goal. Now, not only was that goal unmet, but she was also witnessing the stupidity of her companions.
If she didn’t prepare an exit strategy, she might find herself unable to flee when disaster struck.
With that thought, Andrea gazed deeply at the tall and powerful figure on the battlefield, her golden eyes flickering with a hint of something unreadable.
