Pillar of Yita

And began slowly rotating.

The Walker launched its eighth attack, but it collided with the two domed light nets above—two small spheres flew out from behind the Annihilator, the Shining Field, once again activated.

”Ah!” Tianlan exclaimed in dismay, plopping back into his chair.

The Walker landed back on the ground.

But Red Leaf felt little joy in victory; this combat had been embarrassingly difficult for her. If it weren’t for the opponent’s lower level, she wouldn’t have had any chance at all.

She raised her arm, spread her five fingers, ready to end this farce.

The four metal plates above the Annihilator slowly opened downward, the darkly etched Magic Power lines gradually turning gold and red, indicating the transition into Overload State—

At the same time, nine overlapping Magic Arrays appeared above it.

Magical Spear’s overload form—Soling Matrix.

At that moment, Red Leaf did not notice a fleeting movement in Fang Hong’s hands, a tiny object flew from his hand, a faint golden light twinkling in the northern shelter area then disappearing.

Only Blood Night Demon Moon saw this detail: ”What is he planning to do?”

On her communication page, there was no direct response, just written.

R: Watch closely.

In the audience, Wu Di and Liuli Yue simultaneously shifted uneasily. The latter had been captivated by the combat since the end of the first round, and they exchanged a glance.

”Adorably foolish.” The young man couldn’t help but glance at Red Leaf.

’Sword Hong’ was retreating.

Red Leaf’s calm gaze was looking for a target, nine beams of light already converging in mid-air beneath the hall’s dome into a sphere of light, which then exploded into a cascade of blue light arrows, covering Fang Hong’s Walker.

But just then, her vision suddenly blurred.

A golden Copper Sphere, buzzing with two pairs of wings, hovered motionlessly about five centimeters from the tip of her nose.

Making her lose sight of her target instantly.

”Wait, you can’t attack competitors—” the Dwarf Referee’s voice suddenly stopped.

Because the Clockwork Fairy made no further movement.

There wasn’t even any physical contact between it and Red Leaf.

The Dwarf Referee was momentarily dumbfounded, gaping there, as he was unsure if this counted as an attack on a competitor—it seemed it might, but it might not.

But this moment of hesitation had already changed the situation in the arena.

Red Leaf could not be sure if she had hit her opponent.

Silence fell across the arena.

Everyone saw—Fang Hong’s Walker maneuvering through the Light Rain, it was heavily damaged, with at least three beams piercing through its torso—the right rear foot almost blown off, the left front foot broken, and the left rear foot also lost its sensitivity.

The data Fang Hong saw on his panel was even more devastating, Strength Enhancement Plugin, Swift Burst Plugin all went dark, the cooling system was damaged by fifty percent, gears also damaged to varying degrees, except for the Core Crystal which he carefully protected still remained intact.

’Sword Hong’ was almost in tatters, Durability had decreased to single digits.

But it still hadn’t fallen—

Red Leaf anxiously twisted her body left and right, and when she could not shake off the small object in front of her, she reached forward to grab it. The little thing nimbly pulled back—she then for the first time noticed the pitiable state of the Walker had once again returned near the Annihilator.

A warning rose in her heart.

But just as she let her guard down, the Clockwork Fairy once again appeared in front of her.

At that moment, Red Leaf nearly cursed out loud:

”How did he do that?”

”Is he even controlling his Walker?”

At that time, a deep murmur of astonishment came from around her.

Her heart sank; she no longer cared about the Clockwork Fairy in front of her, simply closed her eyes, and began blindly controlling. She first positioned her Shining Field in front of the Annihilator to prevent a sudden attack.

But right then.

The murmurs of astonishment grew even louder.

Red Leaf’s heart pounded; she didn’t understand what she had done wrong, and could only instinctively move her Shining Field to defend the rear side of the Annihilator. Since she was controlling blindly, her movements were somewhat clumsy.

But in fact, that was no longer important.

Because people were surprised to see, Fang Hong’s Walker was motionless in front of the black octahedral Construct, and his opponent had herself let the two Shining Field Barriers open.

Suddenly, there was a wide-open gap.

Only then did Fang Hong finally breathe a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his brow, and then let his Walker pounce forward.

The shields of the Annihilator were already at zero, no longer able to protect it from damage.

When Red Leaf opened her eyes again, the Clockwork Fairy cheekily landed in her hand. She just stared blankly as her Flexible Construct split in two, crashing to the ground.

She instinctively wanted to throw the Clockwork Fairy away, but hesitated for a moment, and then stopped her hand.

She looked at the young man in front of her with a complex expression.

She suddenly recalled a scene from five years earlier, facing that man, the thoughts of those people must have been exactly like her own now.

Thus, the second round, the combat ended—

...
