Drakley was dressed in black, with some white and red decorations on his head. The other was a Double Axe Battle Dragon with a body full of lumps and brown skin that looked like a sharp axe!
The battle began when both sides were at their peak. Drakley and the Double Axe Battle Dragon charged at each other at the same time. The only difference was that Drakley's movements were silent, while the Double Axe Battle Dragon's movements were earth-shattering!
Aoki knew a lot about the Double Axe Battle Dragon because his teacher had a very powerful Double Axe Battle Dragon.
The Double Axe Battle Dragon's Dance and Sword Battle Dragon's Dance were two extremely powerful buffs. If the Double Axe Battle Dragon's Dance was given enough time to accumulate power, their potential could not be limited by level and potential.
However, Drakley obviously did not develop the Double Axe Battle Dragon in this direction. He could not be like Flamingo, who could divert part of his attention to use Sword Battle Dragon's Dance or Sword Battle Dragon's Dance while moving.
In front of Drakley, who had the absolute advantage in speed, he could not use Sword Battle Dragon's Dance and Sword Battle Dragon's Dance so easily.
The distance between the two sides closed in an instant.
"Double Axe Battle Dragon, Provoke! Dragon Claw! "Brad yelled.
The Double Axe Battle Dragon's eyes flashed when it received the order. The two giant axe-like teeth on its head flashed red, and it aimed at Drakley who was charging at it.
If the Provoke was successful, Drakley could only use offensive skills for a period of time.
However, Draklye's eyes narrowed. A black, disc-shaped hole appeared before him and engulfed the Twin-Axe Wardragon's attack. With a push from Draklye, the black hole rushed towards the Twin-Axe Wardragon.
Sensing the fear in the black hole, the Double Axe Battle Dragon's expression changed slightly. The dragon claws that were originally used to attack turned into defensive claws. Two claws completely shattered the black hole.
This black hole was Drakley's exclusive skill, Dark Hole!
It could forcefully drag the target into sleep. As long as the target was not much stronger than Drakley, it was almost impossible for them to escape.
The Double Axe Battle Dragon felt the threat from above, so it was willing to give up on attacking to shatter the black hole.
"Double Axe Battle Dragon, Rock Seal!" Brad's voice sounded again just as it shattered the black hole.
Because right behind the shattered black hole was Drakley!
Two stone chains rose from the back of the Dual Axe Wardragon and spun towards Draklyi to bind him.
However, Dakklei, who had been maintaining a telepathic connection with Aoki, naturally wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. His pitch-black body trembled and became blurry as new Dakklei emerged from his body.
Shadow Doppelganger!
The Double Axes War Dragon's rock blockade missed.
With so many Dakraii appearing at once, the Dual Axe War Dragon had no idea which one was the real one.
Ferocious auras spread out from all of the Dakklei, and Evil Ripples attacked from all directions.
"Dual Axes Battle Dragon! Meteor shower! " Faced with such a situation, the only way to break the stalemate was to use an AoE attack. The Dual Axe War Dragon's strongest AoE attack was, of course, the Dragon's strongest AoE skill, Meteor Shower!
A yellow energy ball was spat out from the Dual Axe War Dragon's mouth into the air. Then, a huge flaming meteor fell from the sky, heading towards all of the Dakklei.
However, before the meteor shower could shatter all of the shadows, Dakraii's Evil Ripples successfully hit the Dual Axe War Dragon, causing the Dual Axe War Dragon, whose special defense wasn't very good, to begin with, to feel some pain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The meteor bombarded the ground, leaving deep craters. At the same time, all of Dakraii's shadows were shattered.
This time, Brad had learned his lesson. He didn't let the Dual Axe War Dragon attack Aoki with the meteor shower. Instead, he focused on Dakraii.
If the Dual Axe War Dragon was killed by Dakraii because of this mistake, it would be a fatal blow to him.
However, even if the meteor shower destroyed all the shadows, it didn't do much damage to Dakraii. Dakraii reacted quickly and successfully dodged the meteor shower's attack with a Lightning Flash. Within the meteor shower's attack range, the only safe place was where the caster of the skill was.
However, letting an Elf that specialized in special attacks charge in front of an Elf that specialized in physical attacks was tantamount to sending himself to the enemy's doorstep.
Brad wasn't surprised by Dakraii's actions. Instead, he was happy.
In fact, Aoki was a little hesitant about such an order at the beginning. In the end, it was Dakraii's words that dispelled his worries.
If he really wasn't good at close combat, then who was the one at the front when he fought with his sister?
Because of this, Aoki was completely at ease with Dakraii.
However, this bit of hesitation showed that the tacit understanding between Aoki and Dakraii wasn't high enough. Otherwise, not to mention hesitation, Aoki might have taken the initiative to ask Dakraii to charge at the Dual Axe War Dragon from the beginning.
However, this kind of battle was a process for Aoki and Dakraii to familiarize themselves with each other. The more battles they experienced, the better their tacit understanding would be, and the more powerful their combat strength would be.
Fortunately, this hesitation didn't have any effect on the overall battle.
In the blink of an eye, Dakraii appeared in front of the Dual Axe War Dragon.
Just as the Dual Axe War Dragon grinned and was about to attack Dakraii, it realized that it was the first to be injured.
Dakraii, who rushed over, used the inertia of his charge to fiercely grab the Dual Axe War Dragon's waist with his claws wrapped in thick black gas. He successfully cut through the scales on the Dual Axe War Dragon's body and left three claw marks!
Feeling the pain, the Dual Axe War Dragon was furious. Blue-purple dragon energy appeared on its claws as it viciously swung at Dakraii's head.
Lower body! Lean forward! While swinging its claws, it retreated!
It was done in one go.
Dakraii used his agile body to the extreme. Not only did the Dual Axe War Dragon's attack not hit him, but it also took another attack from Dakraii.
In fact, it was understandable. Dakraii was fighting the Dual Axe War Dragon with stronger combat experience and awareness. Even if he had the advantage in physical strength, Dakraii's own speed advantage was also used well by him.
If he couldn't hit the opponent, then what was the use of having such strong strength?
It was like a person who had the strength of a Grandmaster fighting a person who was only at Platinum level. Even if the difference in skill level wasn't big, the difference in awareness would be absolutely crushing!
Moreover, from many details, the small advantages accumulated bit by bit would slowly change qualitatively and become the absolute condition that determined the outcome of the battle.
This method of slowly accumulating advantages and exhausting the opponent was known as a snowball!
When the snowball was big enough to crush the opponent, the outcome of the battle would be decided.
Now, the wounds that Dakraii left on the Dual Axe War Dragon didn't have any effect on the Dual Axe War Dragon. However, when these wounds accumulated to a certain extent, they would become a boulder that crushed him.
Whoosh —
The Dual Axe War Dragon swung its claws again. It was less than a centimeter away from Dakraii's face, but it still couldn't hit Dakraii. However, as soon as its attack passed, Dakraii, who was retreating, came forward again and left a mark on the Dual Axe War Dragon's body.
Now, the Dual Axe War Dragon looked very miserable. Its body was covered in blood and there was almost no complete scale.
However, Dakraii was still frowning.
To be honest, Dakraii wasn't satisfied with the results of his attack just now. Moreover, he wasn't satisfied with his control of his own body.
This was because his body couldn't keep up with his awareness. His strength hadn't fully recovered, so he couldn't satisfy his own needs.
If it weren't for his meticulous maneuvers, he would have been hit by the Double Axe War Dragon.
Therefore, Dakraii wasn't satisfied with his control this time.
But this was also why he needed to familiarize himself with his body first and slowly find the feeling from the battle.
However, after this period of close combat, he had almost figured out the Dual Axe War Dragon's fighting style and attacking methods. He didn't need to try anymore, and he didn't have the interest to try anymore. Aoki also felt that Dakraii should have gotten used to it. It was time to end the battle.
Once again, he dodged the Dual Axe War Dragon's attack with just a centimeter of precision. Then, Dakraii pushed out a Dark Hole and directly swallowed the Dual Axe War Dragon.
After the Dark Hole dissipated, the Dual Axe War Dragon that was completely asleep was revealed.
A sleeping elf was equivalent to food on a tray for the God of Nightmares. It was up to him to choose whether to eat it or not.
However, Bullard's initial joy when Dakraii took the initiative to engage in melee combat with the Twin-Axe Wardragon. After fighting Dakraii for a period of time, he was unable to deal any damage to him. Instead, he felt complicated emotions from being toyed with by Dakraii. Then, he felt fear after the Twin-Axe Wardragon fell into a deep slumber.
He knew that any sleeping elf was a fish on the chopping board in front of Dakraii, who was known as the God of Nightmares. And Dakraii was a knife, waiting to be slaughtered.
"Stop!! I'm willing to tell you what I know. I can tell you everything! "Brad begged for mercy.
If the Dual Axe War-Dragon were to lose its ability to fight, it would take a long time to recover since he didn't have an elf that could heal him and he wasn't a trainer. During that time, the Dual Axe War-Dragon might not even be able to protect itself, let alone fight for the Space Stone.
The Herculean Crocodile could protect him, but the Herculean Crocodile was just an elf.
Qing Mu glanced at the anxious Brad, and a smile appeared on his face.
Just say that you will choose to tell me in person.
However, Aoki didn't pay attention to him. The power in his eyes flashed. Dakraii, who had received his order, understood instantly. Darkness appeared in his blue eyes.
Ferocious energy gushed out from Dakraii's body and enveloped the Dual Axe War Dragon in front of Brad.
Nightmare!
However, that wasn't the end of Dakraii's actions. Another surge of power emerged from his body and attached itself to the Dual Axe War Dragon.
If the Dream Demon was there, it would understand that the Dual Axe War Dragon was having a nightmare on the ground. However, that wasn't enough. All of a sudden, an even more ferocious monster appeared. It tore a large piece of the Dual Axe War Dragon's dream and swallowed it. That monster's body grew bigger as it ate the Dual Axe War Dragon's dream.
It continued to devour the Dual Axe War Dragon's dream even more fiercely. Whether it was mentally or physically, it caused a lot of damage.
However, in the eyes of ordinary people and elves, the Dual Axe War Dragon's body trembled. They could feel that its aura plummeted and soon reached the bottom.
Brad's face was ugly, but he couldn't do anything to Aoki and Dakraii.
Even the Double-axe Wardragon was no match for Dakraii, so the Herculean Crocodile was even less of a match for Dakraii. Moreover, there was a super Geng Gui lurking at the side, eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey. Once the Herculean Crocodile left his side, there was no guarantee of his safety.
However, even if the Herculean Crocodile was by his side now, there was no guarantee for his safety.
Aoki made it clear that he wanted to reduce the other party's power and reduce his right to speak.
Pat-
Aoki smiled and jumped down from the back of the Berserk Dragon. He stood in front of Brad and let him take back the Dual Axe War Dragon without any obstruction.
Brad looked at the confident Aoki and felt a sense of frustration from the bottom of his heart.
He had worked hard here for twenty-five years. He wanted to go back and take revenge. He wanted to amaze the world with a single feat and wipe away his shame. However, he didn't expect that all the beautiful visions in his heart were shattered little by little by Aoki. The true nature of his heart was exposed. In fact, he was a complete failure. His achievements were worthless compared to Aoki.
"You … don't look like an Alliance trainer." Brad said. His voice was full of frustration. He no longer had the satisfaction he had at the beginning.
Aoki responded with a smile. "Do you think you can still be called an Alliance trainer now?"
When he heard Aoki's words, Brad fell silent.
Indeed, he couldn't be called an Alliance trainer now. So many years of hatred and resentment accumulated in his heart. Not only was it not washed away by the passage of time, but because of the carving knife of time, all the hatred was engraved in his heart and could never be erased.
Therefore, even if he returned to the Elf World, he would have to work in the Alliance obediently and work with the enemy who once attacked him. This was definitely not something he could accept.
Therefore, he only had two choices. One was to not return to the Elf World and end the rest of his life here. The other was to return to the Elf World, take revenge, and then find a place to hide. Or, join a stronger underground force, such as the Rocket Team or the Plasma Team in the Unity Area.
Aoki saw that he didn't say anything else. Presumably, he was aware of his situation.
"Now, you can tell me who the person who made you like this is. Or, you have been hinting at some secrets on this continent that even the Alliance doesn't know about." Aoki asked with interest.
Brad glanced at Aoki. Now that he had a rough idea of what would happen to him, he wasn't as worried or fearful.
There was a high possibility that Aoki would kill him after asking him the questions he wanted to ask. He wouldn't choose to leave him alive.
This was what he felt from the battle with Aoki until now. This young man was not a pure Alliance trainer. He might have another identity, just like that person back then.
Brad let out a long breath and temporarily put aside the fact that he was defeated by Aoki. "Do you have food on you? I don't want that kind of jerky. Give me the so-called junk food made in the factory, even if it's compressed biscuits. "
After 25 years here, Brad really missed this junk food. If he could have a bite before he died, his wish would be fulfilled.
Hearing Brad's request, Aoki was also taken aback, but he also expressed that he could understand.
Not to mention the things made in the factory, even obtaining a little seasoning was extremely difficult.
Aoki rummaged through his storage space. To be honest, he generally didn't eat this kind of junk food. It wasn't that he felt it was nutritious, but Aoki was a person who would not think of eating snacks if he was full.
Finally, he found a bag of snacks in the corner of the storage space. He didn't know how long it had been stored there. Maybe he bought it to satisfy a greedy elf.
He threw it directly to Brad.
Seeing the thing that Aoki threw over, Brad was pleasantly surprised. He didn't care how dirty his hands were, and directly opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth.
Eating the taste that he might have only tasted in his dreams all these years, the corners of Brad's eyes were a little moist. He used to like eating snacks very much, but it had been 25 years, and he was finally able to eat them again when he was about to die. Although Brad was unwilling to be able to take revenge with his own hands, he was satisfied to be able to eat such snacks in the end.
Aoki stood silently by the side and watched Brad eat the things in the package without caring about his image. After eating the things in the package, he opened the package and licked the dregs on it. After eating all of it, he revealed an expression of longing.
Aoki, who was at the side, couldn't help but feel that Brad was really a little pitiful.
However, he still had to ask what he needed to ask. "Can you tell me now?"
Brad nodded as if he hadn't had enough. He sucked his fingers and said, "Actually, what the Alliance didn't know was that there was actually someone on this continent of time and space. A long time ago, not long after the Alliance found a way to this continent again, a group of people that the Alliance valued were teleported here.
That group of people was called the supernovas of the Alliance. Although there weren't many of them, it could be said that each of them had the potential to become a champion! "
Aoki stood silently and listened to Brad talk about what he knew bit by bit.
"Not everyone in that group successfully returned to the Elven World, but that person didn't stay here because he was ambushed like me. Instead, he chose to stay here by himself!" Brad said.
"He chose to stay here by himself?" Aoki was taken aback.
A fearful expression appeared on Brad's face as if he was very afraid of that person. He didn't even dare to say his name, or rather, he didn't know his name at all.
He nodded and said, "That's right! He chose to stay here. This place is rich in resources, and the wild elves' levels are very high. They can satisfy the most basic training and battle needs.
Of course, the most important thing is that the flow of time here is five times faster than in the Elven World. If we calculate according to the time in the Elven World, our growth here can be seen as five times faster.
Do you think it's surprising that someone who dares to be so cruel to himself would make this choice? "
Brad's eyes were filled with admiration for that person, or rather, admiration for his determination and his desire to become stronger.
Aoki was silent.
Because he knew that what Brad said was possible. Because when Aoki first entered here, he also thought about whether he should choose to stay here for 25 years. When he returned to the Elven World next time, he would use his absolute strength to guarantee his personal freedom.
However, as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, it was extinguished by him.
Not to mention how much one could grow in 25 years here, even if a person lived in the wild for 25 years, could he still maintain his pursuit of becoming stronger?
If he could maintain it, this kind of person deserved to succeed because he had the will to succeed.
However, Aoki felt that he couldn't do it.
However, the more he couldn't do it, the more someone did it. Aoki really wanted to see what kind of ambitious person this person was.
"Before that person came here, he was prepared to stay here, so he brought a lot of resources and books with him. He wanted to improve his elves and himself in these 25 years.
And don't doubt it. Because of that person's identity and status in the Elven World, it was easy for him to know the news in advance and prepare these things in advance! "
"Then … If such an important person didn't return to the Elven World, doesn't the Alliance have any doubts or want to bring him back?" Aoki asked.
Brad's eyes flashed with disdain. "Tsk, hope for the Alliance? It's better to believe that he can break through the space barrier on this continent with his own strength!
And that person is very smart. I think he put himself in a dangerous situation in front of those people. That way, others will imagine why he didn't return to the Elven World. "
If he proved that he was a dead person, then what was the point of wanting to improve his strength so quickly?
He couldn't return to the Elven World. If he wanted to go back, he needed a spatial stone. However, if he wore a spatial stone, he would definitely be teleported to the Alliance.
The Alliance was not stupid. When the time came, they would be able to guess his situation.
Aoki looked at the fear hidden in the depths of Brad's eyes. Even in the face of death, he didn't feel fear, but when he thought of that person, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart?
"Who is this person?" Aoki asked with a serious expression.
Brad glanced at Aoki. "If I really knew who he was, I wouldn't be alive here."
Hearing this, Aoki was stunned. He thought that the other party knew the specific identity. Otherwise, how could he know these things so clearly?
"I actually learned all of this from the person who reduced me to this state. Coupled with my exploration of this continent, I was able to confirm what he said," Brad said calmly.
He didn't know why his hatred for the person who made him fall to this point wasn't so great now. Perhaps it was because people were about to die, and all hatred could be temporarily forgotten. If he had to carry such heavy hatred with him when he died, he was afraid that he would die too unwillingly.
"Then you said before that you're not the only one here?" Aoki asked again.
Brad nodded and said frankly, "That's right. Although there are people like me who are forced to stay here, there aren't many. Do you know why the Alliance said that the survival rate of people who enter here is 70%? In fact, there are very few people like me who had their spatial stones stolen, their elves stolen, and even all their resources stolen.
Most people are like that person back then, voluntarily choosing to stay here. In other words, their mission is to stay here! "
Hearing Brad's words, Aoki's heart trembled. He seemed to have gradually grasped the crux of the matter.
"You're saying … That person had already returned to the Elf World without the Alliance's knowledge and had secretly established a force in the Elf World. Every five years, he would send someone to infiltrate the Alliance and send his own people in. Then, these people would stay on this continent and slowly occupy it, turning it into their secret base?"
Aoki's heart was also filled with shock. If it was really as he expected, then this person's ambition was really too great.
Brad looked at Aoki in surprise. After looking at him for a long time, a complicated expression appeared on his face again. "I don't know either. In fact, your guess is the same as my guess when I first found out about this matter. It's just that I don't know whether that person returned or not.
And those who stayed behind occupied the center of this continent, which is the mountain you can see now. It's said that there's a temple of time and space on top of it. It's the place where Diya Luca and Paluquini once lived. There might be some secrets hidden there, but these are not things I can know.
When I recovered part of my strength, I went there to investigate, but I was quickly discovered by them. It seems that they have a special method of investigation.
If I didn't run fast enough, I might have died. "
After pausing for a moment, Brad continued, "In fact, I can roughly guess that they won't allow people who know about these things but aren't their people to leave this place. If I had the Space Stone in my hand, they might have come looking for me. But I really can't accept it. I treated that person as a close friend, but I didn't expect him to stab me in the back in the end.
Not only did he take away my Space Stone, but he also took all my spirits for himself. In the end, to humiliate me, he even took all my resources, including my clothes … "
At this point, the hatred in Brad's eyes rose up again.
To be honest, being stabbed in the back by the person he trusted the most was something he couldn't accept the most.
"Then why didn't he kill you? Wouldn't killing you solve the problem once and for all? "Aoki was puzzled.
"I don't know. Maybe he thought that since I didn't have any spirits with me, I couldn't survive in such a dangerous place." Brad shook his head.
If he hadn't had a flash of inspiration and placed the two immature spirits that he had never shown to anyone in a hidden place, he really wouldn't have been able to survive on this continent.
But before he nurtured the Herculean Crocodile and the Double-Axe Battledragon, he had been living here in hiding.
It wasn't until he had enough strength that he was barely able to solve the problem of food and clothing.
"Who attacked you in the last batch of people?" Finally, Aoki asked the crucial question.
If he said that he didn't know who was hiding in the depths, Aoki could understand. But he definitely knew the person who attacked him and was once his close friend.
"Riley!" Brad would never forget this name. Even his appearance was engraved in the deepest part of his heart. It would appear several times in front of his eyes every day.
He gritted his teeth and said this person's name as if the scene of him attacking him was right in front of his eyes.
But when Aoki heard this name, he was stunned. He felt that this person overlapped with someone in his memory.
"Riley? The person you're talking about, it can't be this person, right? "Aoki raised his right hand and used his superpower to draw a face.
Aoki was also very familiar with this face because this was the face of the Alliance's Second Army Commander, Riley! It was also the real name of the Black Messenger!
For some reason, Aoki felt a huge whirlpool sweeping towards him. If the Black Messenger was really like what Brad said, and was that person's subordinate …
"You know Riley?!" Brad's face became a little ugly.
If Aoki knew Riley and had a good relationship with him, he wouldn't believe his words. And he felt that this was very likely because he knew what kind of person Riley was on the surface. He was approachable and easily gained the trust of others.
"If the Riley you're talking about is him, then I'm afraid you won't have the chance to take revenge." Aoki said with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Aoki's face, Brad's eyes showed a trace of deathly stillness. Sure enough, as he expected, the person in front of him knew Riley and trusted him a lot.
Aoki noticed the change in Brad's expression and knew that he probably thought wrong.
"The truth is not what you think. In fact, this Riley has already passed away two or three months ago." Aoki said.
