Chapter 305: Showdown [3]

No Divine Path is greater than another.

It was proven time and time again throughout the 520 year history since blink.

However, one shouldn't discount the advantages a particular divine path has over others.

Each Divine Path has its edges and weaknesses.

Telepath Path's weakness was a weak body. After reaching level 4, the body's basic attributes improve, but even then it's far from strong.

That's why, Xavier hid himself at a far off distance.

The edge?

Unlike other paths, Telepath's attacks were invisible. Until the last moment, the target wouldn't know they were being attacked.

Of course, as awakeners they possess extraordinary 'senses'. This allows them to instinctively feel the danger and respond.

But if a Telepath was skilled enough, then he would be able to even avoid even that danger premonition and directly attack the target.

Xavier just happened to be skilled enough to attack Maissa without alerting her.

When his attack struck, Maissa was about to dodge Rodey's attack by teleporting.

His mental attack shook her space power and cancelled her teleportation.

Maissa's mind crumbled for a moment and by the time she pulled herself together, Rodey's fist was already in front of her throat.

In that split second, she knew that even if she tried to defend herself, that fist would break her space armor and reach her throat.

She'd be eliminated.

Thus, she made a decision.

All of this happened in a split second.

Blood leaked from the corner of her eyes as Maissa pushed back the intruding mental force and at the same time channeled her space power.

The space around her fluctuated wildly.

If Rodey backed off now, then it'd be fine.

But

Ka!

His fist connected with her throat and a silver light shone from Maissa.

"Die!" She released the space power with herself as the center.

Immediately, her face paled and she coughed out blood before fainting.

Boom!

There was no sound, no explosion.

The space around her broke apart like a cracked mirror and devoured the other person in the middle.

The injured Rodey.

He was right in the middle.

The space twisted around him and he felt like his body was crushed from all directions.

It was like squeezing a wet cloth. Except this time, the wet clothe was him and his blood and flesh were squeezed out.

Rodey's eyes fluctuated as he tried to move out, but his already injured body didn't let him.

As a result, deep cuts appeared on every part of his body. Even pieces of flesh were cut off as the space started to stabilize.

When the space was about to slash his neck, a silver light flashed from Rodey.

"What a vengeful girl." Rodey muttered.

His sorrowful voice echoed in the plain fields as his body vanished.

In the distance, Tiama's eyes widened as he staggered up. "It's Xavier! Xav-"

He paused midway and his eyes turned white.

A huge mental force slashed his mind. His body spasmed as he tried to fight back.

Blood dripped from Tiama's eyes, nose and ears before a silver light flashed.

"Tiama? Maissahuh? Maissa?" Ashtarh's voice echoed as the three members were silently eliminated by Xavier.

Ashtarh couldn't believe it.

His teammates were eliminated just like that.

His mind shook as he realized the only five members on the field.

Xavier.

Him.

Sarah. William. Philia.

Now, he and Sarah were fighting against Xavier. With the addition of William and Philia, Xavier was destined to lose.

'William and Philiathey could've saved Maissa and Tiama, they didn't.'

He realized his agreement was just that.

Defeat Xavier together.

But now

'Ashtarh, are you an idiot? I was telling you from the start. Don't trust her. Now even if you eliminate me, you're still gonna lose.' Xavier's voice sounded in his mind.

At the same time, William approached them and said. "Xavier's defenses are weaker than before, I guess he's also exhausted. Just a second, I can find him."

Sarah and Phillia nodded.

They looked at the location where the three members were eliminated with a complex emotion.

In fact, William didn't join the battle as he thought Maissa could handle it. Of course, he also wanted to preserve his energy. But if she asked him, he wouldn't refuse.

After all, unlike Tiama, someone was attacking her.

But it happened all of a sudden and by the time he was able to react, he could barely slow down Rodey's fist.

It was because of him that Maissa got the chance to execute her space attack. Or her attack would've never come to fruition.

Philia on the other hand saw Tiama and wanted to save him, but it was already too late.

To protect themselves, Xavier must be eliminated.

Then

'Yes, I am indeed exhausted. I can't win against the four of you. But what about you, Ashtarh?

Didn't we all eliminate Charles just for the sake of having a winning chance?'

Xavier's voice continued to ring in Ashtarh's head.

Ashtarh's eyes fluctuated but his expression didn't change.

'You think you can't betray them because they're your teammates? No! Your teammates are eliminated!

Besides, camaraderie is a two-way street. William had the power to save Maissa, he didn't. Philia was just watching Tiama's elimination.

They aren't even your teammates. You're just cooperating. The winner should either be you or me'

"Here!" William suddenly said and pointed to a location two miles away behind him. "Xavier's moving fast. Let's get him!"

William roared and condensed arrows from mental power. He was about to wave his hand and rain them down to cover the whole area.

Even though the attack of each arrow was low, it was sufficient when facing a Telepath.

But his hand froze and his nose began to bleed. His body spasmed as his teeth chattered.

"William!" Philia bit her lip and was about to approach him. He waved his hand and said.

"Attack!"

Philia's eyes flashed and a blue hue covered her body. Putting in all her strength, her body shot forward at breakneck speed.

Boom!

Boom!

Despite the heavy gravity, she continued to speed up.

And when she approached the area, a heavy mental power struck her. Her eyes threatened to close, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.

Right beside her were Sarah and Ashtarh.

The three of their faces were pale. They were all being attacked by Xavier.

"You're out!" Sarah snapped her fingers and icicles appeared in the air, before shooting down to the ground.

"Gah!" The icicles suddenly slowed down as Sarah clutched her head, but still kept sprinting.

The icicles fell, albeit with far less momentum.

Ting!

Ting!

Tee

"There he is!"

Ashtarh looked at the location and saw the icicle piercing Xavier's shoulder.

Philia, however, looked at Sarah's pale face.

"You're out, Xavhuh?" Sarah conjured a spear and was about to shoot it when she suddenly gasped.

Ashtarh suddenly struck at her with his spear. It was too fast and as she was focused on Xavier, thus she had no time to react.

Right when the spear was about to pierce her chest, a silver light flashed in front of her.

"You"

Sarah opened her mouth but couldn't say anything as Philia's body glowed in a silver light.

"You must win" Philia smiled and vanished.
