The spear and the hand blade clashed, sparking a trail of golden sparks. Both parties retreated simultaneously, but this time, the Lizard Warrior Leader actually retreated even more.

"What's going on?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

However, only Chenxi flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes — as the Chairman of the Silver Weslan, he was very aware of the capabilities of the Energy Angel, but his heart still skipped a beat knowing the opponent had managed to bring out such combat power of the Energy Angel in such a brief moment.

He had already seen that the problem lay in the preemptive strike, the young man controlling the Energy Angel constantly sought to maintain the initiative, and once at a disadvantage, immediately sought to regain the upper hand through the Blink ability, even at the cost of Magic Power just to retake control.

This intense desire to attack —

He could not help but glance at the other side of the hall.

There, 'Her Majesty' watched motionlessly at the screen before her.

That was indeed the opponent's tactical specialty — Swift Tactics, only by perpetually maintaining the initiative could one discuss swift striking. As a longtime rival, he was fully aware of the Construct Queen's tactical thinking, but sometimes, the tactics among top players are not something that could be countered simply by understanding.

In fact, during the combat, they tended to only maximize their advantages. Except for a few individuals, trying to counter an opponent usually meant falling into disadvantage.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, that eccentric man from among the top ten guilds, currently in the hall commanding his members — KUN.

But most people can't achieve this, such as the Lizard Warrior Leader before him. Once caught in the rhythm of Swift Tactics, almost nothing was left but defeat. Elite Monsters still retained some strength, but they faced more than one opponent.

The Lizard Warrior Leader retreated, and the Energy Angel immediately advanced to strike again, the latter could only raise his spear to block.

The swords and spears clashed, and both retreated again.

However, Fang Hong did not give the opponent a chance, directly forcefully activating the Blink ability to disrupt his own balance motions, and attacked again. The Lizard Warrior Leader had already lost some capacity in Evasion and Block Value, but helplessly, he could only retreat again.

The Energy Angel waved the sword light, stepping closer, seemingly taking the initiative, but the spectators furrowed their brows, sensing that something crucial was overlooked — the Magic Power of the Energy Angel.

"The Magic Capacity of the Core Crystal is almost unable to keep up."

Here, everyone was of extraordinary vision and quickly pointed this out.

But there was still no response from Nether, and others did not know exactly what the Construct Queen was directing.

And the truth was —

She was silent, not directing anything.

The movements of the Energy Angel faltered, after continuous blinking the Magic Power finally ran out, and at the same moment, without any disruption from blinking, the Energy Angel finally lost balance and fell to the ground. The Lizard Warrior Leader, as if waiting for this moment, shrieked and immediately launched a counterattack.

Everyone exclaimed, but a halo above the Energy Angel's head blinked, and it narrowly dodged the spear in a state of imbalance.

Sensing Ring!

Beside Chenxi, Virus's eyebrows raised. This was one of the strongest abilities of the Energy Angel, a psionic sensing field provided by the Sensing Ring on the heads of these Variant Sword-Bearers, causing any object that entered the field to trigger the instinctive reflexes of the Construct.

This ability greatly enhanced the Evasion ability of the Energy Angel, even in its state of imbalance.

Some people jokingly referred to this as the Construct version of Intuitive Dodge, and it wasn't without reason.

But the Lizard Warrior Leader obviously didn't anticipate this, the sure-hit strike missed, and it almost lost its own balance. It hurriedly stepped forward to find its footing on the ground, trying to regain its center of gravity, but it was at this moment.

A shadow appeared before it.

Everyone was momentarily startled before they realized.

It was another Energy Angel — and it had previously been blocking the Attendant Warriors under the Warrior Leader.

"When did it get here?"

Fang Hong couldn't care less about so many thoughts in these people's minds, and shouted lowly, "Xiangzi!"

Xiangzi, catching on, took a step back to distance himself from the Attendant Warriors, raised his hand, and a wall of slates right from the ground was pulled up by a Force Field Spell, just in time to block those Attendant Warriors. Then he turned back to draw the Lizard Warrior Leader, a ripple sweeping over the latter's tail.

The Lizard Warrior Leader finally lost balance, tilting to the side and falling over.

"Damn, a Mage Swordsman!"

The audience in the hall was stunned, then only did they realize. Not only was Fang Hong an unusual participant, the arena also played host to a Mage Swordsman, a profession rarely seen in a decade.

Moreover, this quirky youth was clearly more than ordinary, previously matching a Level 15 Lizardman in combat without using any Magic. Considering the opponent's level, his mastery of Magic was surprisingly formidable.

Even Chenxi couldn't help but glance at Odin nearby.

The latter shrugged; he naturally knew the opponent was a Mage Swordsman, but was likewise somewhat shaken: "Why do these little monsters always come in groups?"

As the Lizard Warrior Leader fell to the ground, Fang Hong had already directed the Energy Angel to step forward, the sword blade piercing through its left shoulder, while raising his right arm for an elbow strike that sent the Lizard Warrior Leader flying out, knocked unconscious.

Xiangzi, seeing this, spread his fingers to pull the opponent back to his side, quickly pulling out a rag to stuff into its mouth and binding it securely with a rope, his actions so adept that one might suspect this was rehearsed many times over.

"Captain, all set!" Xiangzi called out.

Fang Hong nodded slightly, simply responding:

"Retreat."

From the beginning of the attack to the capture of the Lizard Warrior Leader, it took barely half a minute.

Even including the time it took to break through the defenses to this point, it was no more than five minutes.

Such speed,

Could be called swift.
