The Almighty Ring - Chapter 1393

Chapter 1393: 1393

“So you wish to die! Come one, come all! I will grant you your wishes!” Bison scoffed, still crossing his arms .

 “Go!” T’syai roared enthusiastically, yet he remained unmoved .

 “Go!” Rufus roared with might, yet he, too, remained stationary .

 “Come now, instead of becoming the circus itself, perhaps you two clowns could stop jesting around?” Abel sneered when the two Valsalrian leaders remained rooted to the ground . That being said, Abel himself was also guilty of not attacking . However, he was wise enough not to do so . If he had pounced on Bison, he would have faced him alone and perished like common fodder .

 T’syai clicked his tongue begrudgingly and exchanged looks with Rufus . No matter how cunning a schemer he was, he understood that without him actually fighting together with the other two, defeating Bison would be a pipe dream . No one wanted to be the first to fall but if this went on, Bison would remain victorious .

 Rufus caught his look and nodded . When all three leaders finally agreed to attack together, they nodded at the same time and jumped on Bison .

 “I’ve had my laugh, and if it is my time to die, I will be more than happy to drag you with me!” Bison laughed and started to fight furiously .

 From the spectators’ viewpoint, Bison only resorted to assault, not defense . All of his moves were meant to kill as if he did not care to live after the fight . His objective was clear: to die fighting and drag along as many as he could . That was his current fighting style, and the other three leaders knew it . They could not be more careful . Whenever they tried to squeeze in an attack, they would always make sure that it was a safe maneuver to protect themselves from being caught in Bison’s offense . As such, they had only attacked once for every twenty attacks from Bison . Logically speaking, the three leaders would possess the absolute advantage if they thought to work together . Unfortunately, due to their cowardly nature, they were pushed further and further back .

 Nonetheless, Bison’s advantageous stance existed only because of his current state . Once he grew tired and ran out of energy, the others would not need to stick to defense . When that happened, it would only be a matter of time before Bison fell dead . He would not even have the strength to “drag” someone with him to the grave .

 “Fight . Fight with each other and die for all I care!” Kaa’lna bit down on her lips and snarled .

 Even though Kaa’lna was infatuated with Jiang Fei’s charm, she was not deeply attached to him as Sarila was .

 Caithians and Kuu’lgarthans were different not just in terms of inert strength but also in their mindset . Caithian females were reserved in nature and generally behaved like Chinese girls during their youth, although Jiang Fei had seen the comings and goings of more… sexually-open girls at the tender age of fifteen . Caithian females, once betrothed, would never change their partner even after their demise .

 Kuu’lgarthans were the polar opposite where they tended to be more individualistic . They had high demands for their partner as well as themselves . Many Kuu’lgarthan females gave birth to many offspring from multiple partners . It was common on Kuu’lgarth’s streets . So, while Kaa’lna was infatuated with Jiang Fei for a moment, given time, she could simply forget about him and move on with another man .

 Be that as it may, she had bonded with Jiang Fei for a bit . She felt a twitch of pain when Jiang Fei disappeared from the battlefield and was presumably killed . Since she had lost a powerful pillar of support, panic took over . When the four leaders got engaged in a civil war with each other, Kaa’lna could not help but smile proudly .

 As the battle continued, the armies of the four great leaders started to display changes . The one with the greatest change of heart was Bison’s army . Deserters and defectors began to grow rampant .

 Bison was not standing tall any longer . The light of halo above his head was metaphorically fading away . Realizing that, his soldiers were not about to stay in a collapsing brigade . If they chose not to defect now, they would be defeated once their leader fell .

 In comparison to the invaders, Jiang Fei’s soldiers—the soldiers of the 13th Division to be precise—remained loyal to their leader . Instead of worrying about themselves, they remained calm and fueled as they were sustained by the notion of revenge . The “death” of their leader had impacted them deeply . Those who remained had already mentally prepared themselves to die fighting their enemies . Therefore, with that notion in mind, the soldiers burned passionately with the fire of vengeance . The Valsalrian army was known for its heartless soldiers, but even so, they were still living beings, capable of experiencing emotions . No matter how cold they were, they could not forget how Jiang Fei, their leader, had treated them fairly .

 As the battle waged on between Bison and the three leaders, the contrast between the winner and loser could be seen . Bison had been fighting with everything he had, not holding anything back, hence, he was practically running on fumes . Two hours into fighting, Bison was panting for breath . The surging energy that swirled around him was no more .

 “Stop resisting . You are going to die . Might as well make it painless!” Rufus laughed as he spoke . Respect was no longer offered to his dying foe, and from where he stood, Bison was no longer a threat to him or anyone else .

 “Painless? Thank you for being so kind! Don’t expect that sort of treatment from me!” Bison roared .

 At that moment, his fading energy made a comeback, returning to him with a huge surge . Bison’s combat level rose through the roof, breaking past ten million .

 “F*ck! How is he still standing?!” Abel flinched and groaned . As an Alderaanian, mind-controlling weaker life forms was his bread and butter . Just when he thought he could finally slip into the mind of the battered Bison, he was surprised with a sudden flow of power .

 “Do not be fooled by his tricks . No matter how strong he is now, he will soon be powerless! Get together or we will die!” Rufus barked . The old veteran was a keen strategist, and he knew how to spot victory as well as defeat . At that point, the only way to get through the battle was to band together or give up entirely .

 Just as Rufus finished his sentence, Bison came up to him with an explosive supersonic punch, landing it on his face . Once the strongest of the three enemies was sent flying, Bison selected the weakest of them all, grabbing Abel’s throat .

 “The lucky one to die with me! Congratulations, Abel!” Bison laughed menacingly as he declared .

 Being held by the throat and having his larynx squeezed, Abel could only focus solely on trying to breathe . Even with over 9,000,000 combat level, Abel was unable to overpower Bison’s brute strength . Physically, it was impossible because Abel was of regular human size while Bison was at least twice that .

 Bison lifted Abel up with relative ease and held his neck with his right hand, wrapping both of Abel’s legs easily with his left hand .

 “S-Save m-me!” Abel squeezed his voice through his throat and pleaded for help as he gazed helplessly at his two comrades . Lo and behold, the phrase “no honor amongst thieves” held strong . Both Rufus and T’syai turned away from the helpless Abel .

 Bison was at his last breath right then, and even though he was exploding with strength, it was his last burst . T’syai and Rufus had no need to push themselves to kill Bison as it was only a matter of time before Bison himself would die . That being said, if they did, they could easily save Abel . Unfortunately, not a single leader viewed the other as a comrade, merely enemies during a parley .

 Moreover, if Bison killed Abel, T’syai and Rufus would have one less person to share their loot! Both T’syai and Rufus could split Bison’s, Jiang Fei’s, and additionally, Abel’s fortune . How could they say no to an offer to have one less share?

 “Forget it! You are all alike! Not a single one of you would shed blood for another! Fear not, Abel! You may be the first to die but I shall join you shortly!” Bison laughed .

 The grip of his hands grew stronger by the second, and the fear reflected in his hollowed eyes grew more intense .

 “Heh!” Bison smirked and exerted a little more force .

 Blood, like rain, sprayed out from Abel’s severed body when Bison tore him slowly to inflict as much pain as possible .

 Biki! Biki! Biki!

 Bones from his spine to his limbs broke apart . His muscles tore from their sockets and ligaments before completely snapping off .

 As his throat and larynx were completely held shut, Abel’s screams, albeit muffled, could be heard even from a mile away

 “This is goodbye, traitor…” Bison said as he exerted the final twist .

 Abel, the strongest fighter on his own respective planet, did not even manage to use his strongest ability . He was rendered useless from extreme laceration, blood loss, internal mutilation, and well, from being twisted apart like a common washcloth . He was still not dead, not yet anyway .

 To finish him off completely, Bison spew white-blue flames, the hottest he could spew, and burned Abel’s remains . That way, Abel would die even if he sacrificed all of his power to regenerate .

 Once his death was confirmed, Bison let out a long sigh . At the same time, the surging power around him died down . This time, permanently . His combat level dropped to only 5,000,000 . At his current state, Bison was only another common soldier . He could stand out amongst others but never on the same level as the leaders of the settlements .

 His fate was then sealed .
