Chapter 21 Stay away from my friends!
While chaos reigned inside the prison due to Namor's appearance, the battle on the platform was equally intense!
But this "intense" is actually relative.
Even if the opponent was once skilled in martial arts and had years of combat experience, now they are left with only instinctive attacks devoid of intelligence. They are like howling beasts, with rigid thinking and dull attacks.
Having already fought countless rounds with the Valkyrie before him, Moonblade once again used the force of her spear swing to retreat rapidly.
His feet carved shallow furrows into the hard, rough ground.
It is precisely this solid and supportive ground that allows him to fully utilize his agility!
(Cold Dew: Good heavens, you're the one plowing the field, aren't you?!)
After parrying the opponent's attack once again, Moonlight Blade flipped his wrist, the longsword drawing a sharp arc in his hand, instantly protecting all parts of his body.
Since the start of the war, he has almost never launched an attack; every swing of his sword has been defensive.
All the defenses were for this moment!
"You were once a respectable warrior, but your dead soul can no longer bear the weight of your noble skills. Now, I will end it all."
Moonlight Blade took a deep breath, and the protracted battle, which relied entirely on physical strength, came to an abrupt end.
He took a step, and everything around him seemed to slow down!
He could even clearly see the two "Supermen" colliding at the speed of light in the sky, and could see the fists of John Walker and Gilgamesh about to collide on the left.
All the groundwork was laid for this decisive blow!
He gathered strength with a lung capacity far exceeding that of ordinary people, and then a silver figure flashed past like lightning.
The Valkyrie, who had been wielding her spear with impenetrable skill, suddenly froze, incredulously releasing her weapon, and with her last bit of strength touched the tiny crack on her neck.
The next moment, a head rolled down her body, and her hands, which had been gripping the spear tightly, completely lost their strength and fell to the ground along with her body.
Having landed a successful blow, Moonblade gasped for breath as he adjusted his condition.
That last moment was the only opening he had found in countless encounters—
You must charge in from an absolutely unique angle to find an opening in the instant the two guns cross and deliver the fatal blow.
He flicked his long sword with a flourish, brushing away the black bloodstains on the blade.
Looking at the mangled body on the ground, he became increasingly worried about how difficult the "Captain Marvel" would be to deal with.
But when his gaze fell upon the talisman in his hand, he felt a little more at ease—
They are not without a chance of winning; they have their own advantages.
"Please come out."
Instead of immediately drawing his sword to support John, Moonblade remained where he was.
The Death Merchant, who had originally intended to make his move, was greatly alarmed upon hearing this, finding the person before him even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Having spent years studying assassination techniques, he was already adept at stealth. Coupled with the snake talisman that could make his figure ethereal, he even believed himself to be the strongest assassin in the world.
Unexpectedly, before he could even show himself, his whereabouts were exposed.
With a hint of shame, the Death Merchant revealed himself.
Moonlight Blade looked at the figure emerging from the shadows and nodded slightly: "Your concealment skills are excellent."
A polite compliment startled the Death Merchant, but he quickly followed him toward Gilgamesh.
By this time, John and Gilgamesh, these two "super strongmen," had been fighting each other for who knows how many rounds.
Lacking sharp weapons, John was unable to behead his opponent with just a shield and could only exchange blows with him repeatedly.
The situation was somewhat awkward, but it was the best option at the moment.
His ability to hold off the power-type Gilgamesh single-handedly is itself the greatest support for Moonblade.
With their hands free, the two men moved in a ghostly fashion, alternating between left and right. Although it was their first time working together, they were as in sync as brothers.
As a dagger and a crescent-shaped blade were swung out simultaneously, Gilgamesh felt a sharp pain in his legs. He turned around abruptly, his bloodthirsty gaze locking onto the two uninvited guests behind him.
Before he could retaliate, an unparalleled force came from behind and slammed him away—it was John Walker.
John, holding up his shield, gave the two of them a thumbs-up.
Gilgamesh, who had been rolling around on the ground several times, seemed to pause for a moment when he saw the Valkyrie's headless corpse, but soon, crimson blood vessels filled his pupils again!
He roared and charged at John like a heavily armored tank, but this time, John neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his shield to meet him, and Moonblade arrogantly held his longsword horizontally.
Just as Gilgamesh was about to crash into him, his figure seemed to vanish as if passing through thin air—the Merchant of Death had activated the Serpent Spell!
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent passed through their body and exposed their back, Moonblade and John exerted force simultaneously, and their weapons slammed down hard.
A shield bash, heavy as a hammer blow, struck Gilgamesh's head. In the instant he spun around, the Moonblade longsword swept across again, severing his head completely.
Looking at the head that had rolled to the ground and was still trembling slightly, John couldn't help but sigh, "You really are a master of disguise."
"No need for such praise," Moonlight Blade explained. "My blade is imbued with the power of the Moon Goddess, and with the full moon in the sky, my power can be unleashed to its fullest extent."
John looked up at the night sky, where the thick clouds had just dispersed, and a full moon was clearly visible.
This reason put him at ease.
"Alright, just one more left. Let's take care of it, then we'll go down and help."
They all heard a clanging sound coming from beneath their feet. Although it was faint, none of them were ordinary people, and they all knew that something must have happened inside the prison.
But these battle-hardened veterans knew better than anyone that they could only support their comrades after eliminating the enemy in front of them.
But an awkward problem loomed before them: although the three of them each possessed talismans, none of them had the ability to fly—Hanlu was not there!
John kept waving, trying to get Icarus, who was fighting fiercely in the sky, to notice them and lure the zombie Captain Marvel to the ground.
But Icarus either didn't see it, or he was tightly restrained by the opponent and couldn't spare any strength.
However, the next moment, Captain Marvel, the zombie who was once the strongest Avenger, "granted" their wish.
With a powerful punch, she slammed Icarus into the sea like a piece of trash, then her gaze returned to John and the other two on the ground platform before she swooped down like the setting sun.
The three immediately fled to the edge. Fortunately, with the agility of the Rabbit Talisman and the ethereal nature of the Snake Talisman, they instantly reached the edge of the platform, unharmed by the massive impact and dust behind them.
But when they emerged from the smoke and dust, they saw that the platform had been smashed open with a huge hole.
And then, the scene from before unfolded—
"Stay away from my friends!"
John roared and leaped down!
His shield swung at the enemy even before he appeared!
