The dust gradually settled, revealing the situation in the arena. Cole was seen holding her arm and moving it; the intense collision had made her arm feel a bit uncomfortable, but fortunately, she had won.
However, on Cassandra's side, there was no look of worry on her face.
Instead, she pulled two blades from under her maid skirt and fought on par with Green and Nahash. Every time they tried to advance, Cassandra would pull out new weapons; having four arms was sometimes truly convenient.
Moreover, there was naturally a reason why she wasn't worried.
Sure enough, Gilbert was seen standing up from the dust once again.
How is it possible... to take a punch from the crusher king head-on and still be able to stand?
Corle's eyes widened.
Even Guy, Chikushi, and Poney nearby were a bit incredulous. If it hadn't been a direct hit, that would be one thing, but since it was a direct hit, they knew the terrifying power of the crusher king when its effects were fully activated. Yet, even so, she could still stand? Are you kidding me?
Gilbert appeared quite disheveled, but there were no injuries on her body, and a look of determination flashed across her face.
"I'm sorry, Lady Mera. It seems Bette will not be able to return to your side." As she spoke, Bette opened her eyes wide and whispered.
"Limiters, all disengaged!!"
If one could see inside her brain, one would see that Gilbert's brain was trembling at this moment, as if desperately suppressing some terrifying existence. However, in the end, it returned to calm. It seemed she had succeeded, or perhaps, she had given up on the suppression!
"Ugh... Aaaah!!" With a roar, Gilbert charged at Corle once again.
"In terms of strength, how could I, who possesses the crusher king, possibly lose!!" Corle didn't hesitate, nor was she intimidated by Gilbert's desperate aura. The crusher king was once again activated at full power.
"Bang! Boom!!"
If the previous collision had only stirred up dust, this time the location where they collided couldn't withstand the force of the impact; it began to collapse and shatter!
Even the battle between Nahash and Green was forced to pause as they fended off the sudden debris.
"To think Gilbert has been pushed to this point..." A trace of sorrow flashed in Cassandra's eyes, then turned into determination. It seemed she couldn't continue like this either!
Her four hands were already filled with weapons; she needed to end the battle here quickly so she could go and provide support!
"Ugh, aaah!" This time, before the dust could settle, a scream from Corle rang out.
"Corle!!" Guy's eyes widened. He didn't care about the debris anymore and rushed straight in. As the dust settled, everyone saw that this collision between Gilbert and Corle could be described as evenly matched.
However, Corle's arm was already twisted to a deformed extent; it seemed to be completely ruined.
It could be said that the power of both sides in this collision was equal, but unlike Corle, who relied on a shingu, Gilbert used her own divine power, and her own divine power naturally came with that resilient skeleton and body.
Therefore, even in such a collision, she could still withstand it, but Corle was different. Her strength relied entirely on the crusher king. Previous collisions had always been able to send opponents flying directly without encountering any resistance, but this time was different! This head-on collision, and at maximum force, caused Corle's arm to snap in half, and the bone at her shoulder was even forced out through her skin!
Seeing her opponent in such a state, Gilbert didn't have time to be surprised and wanted to deliver the finishing blow.
"Corle!!" But at this moment, Guy, who had rushed in, arrived. Seeing this scene, he threw Corle out of the way and then took Gilbert's punch with his own back.
"Boom!!" Without any issue, Guy's body was sent flying like a cannonball.
"Guy!!!" Chikushi and Poney caught Corle, and seeing this, they couldn't help but scream.
"Corle, Guy..." Seeing this, Nahash couldn't help but become anxious, wanting to break through Cassandra's obstruction to support them.
However, the result was not favorable. "How could I let you pass?" Cassandra blocked Nahash's path once again. Her expressionless face made her look like a devil from hell at this moment.
"Water Dragon Sword!!" This time, Nahash could no longer care about anything else, even though the enhancement of the Water Dragon Sword only lasted for three minutes, and he would fall into a weakened state after those three minutes.
"An enhancement? This is troublesome." Cassandra frowned. If she were alone, she would definitely choose to avoid the brunt of his attack, as such an enhancement would surely have a time limit.
However, at this moment, if she avoided the brunt of it, Nahash would definitely go after Gilbert, rendering her purpose of pinning them down meaningless. Therefore, at this moment, she could only meet it head-on and could not retreat!
"Then come on!" Cassandra didn't hesitate and collided with Nahash.
"Damn it..." Green gritted his teeth. He was completely useless. His whip couldn't touch Cassandra at all, and even if it did, it would be neutralized by the weapons under her skirt. Who could know how many types of weapons she had under her skirt!
"I'm counting on you, Captain!" Green eventually had to give up; this was not something he could participate in. On the other side, a look of worry flashed in Green's eyes.
Nahash was the captain and ranked first, while Guy was ranked second and possessed the strongest body! That kind of attack definitely wouldn't be enough to take down Guy.
Sure enough, Guy climbed up from the ground, a trickle of blood running from the corner of his mouth.
"You... to think you hurt Corle like that, unforgivable!!" Guy roared. The person he loved had been turned into this state right before his eyes.
Without her right arm, Corle's career as an assassin was effectively ruined, wasn't it? Damn it! Damn it!! Kill you! I will absolutely kill you!!
Guy's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Gilbert, filled with murderous intent and rage.
"Earth Armor!" Guy's Thousand-Layer Robe could travel freely through the ground and could also manipulate earth in this way, although it couldn't create earth out of thin air...
But even so, when facing Gilbert, Guy could only be reduced to being on the receiving end of a beating. Although his strength was the greatest in the Elite Group, it was still far inferior compared to the power of the crusher king.
Even the crusher king couldn't inflict enough damage on Gilbert, let alone Guy's attacks.
As for Nahash, his sword swings became increasingly violent, and the momentum of each strike grew stronger. His eyes were focused to the extreme.
Cassandra remained expressionless, but what shocked her was that Nahash's attacks were getting stronger and stronger, to the point where she was finding it difficult to parry.
Just at this moment, a whip quietly bound her legs. Finally, Green had found such an opportunity. After enduring for so long and letting Cassandra overlook him, he had finally succeeded!
"Slash!!" Seeing this, Nahash didn't hesitate for a second and slashed down with his sword!
