Chapter 495 Sleepy

Chapter 495 Sleepy

For a moment, Naomi looked a little disheartened. As a new powerhouse, she'd gotten this close to obtaining such a strange and exotic item. Attaining it would have opened so many doors for the future... Spirit of Nature shrugged once more. But a moment later, her face subtly grew annoyed.

There was an easy counter to that ability that the three team members realized a little too late.

It was just keeping their distance from it. It was the ball itself that radiated the strongest pressure.

As long as they used distant abilities to control and manipulate the ball, such as Spirit of Nature's vines or Alucard's blood, they would be fine.

But thanks to Liam and Alucard's misplay, Naomi suffered the consequence.

It was unlucky.

Alucard looked at Naomi with a wry expression. "Forgive me, it wasn't my intention to do so."

It was quite gentlemanly for the king of vampires to admit his mistake. Whether he meant it or not was another topic.

'He probably doesn't.' N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

"It's fine," Spirit of Nature said with a smile, raising a hand. "Fun game. I liked it."

There was a short pause.

"Well then," Spirit of Nature said with another look around. "Until our paths cross."

Giving a little nod to Liam and Alucard, Naomi grinned cryptically before turning to leave.

From six versus six, it was now two versus two.

Quite frankly, a balance of luck, circumstance and genuine ability brought Liam to this point.

Otherwise, there was no way he would share a station with the top three strongest powerhouses on the planet. "Feel special, squirt?" the General asked Liam with a mocking laugh. Liam laughed coldly.

"Quite a bit."

Queen Thyress struggled to keep an annoyed expression from her face. Alucard gave Liam a subtle side-glance. It was clear that their cooperation was far better than the Queen and the General's.

Except...

Only one person could keep the Star Dust!

There was no reason to falter! In reality, the General could easily just... redirect the ball mid-air.

He had the ability to do so!

But was backing down from a direct challenge something the General would actually do?

The General grinned. ...Never! The General made a crushing gesture with his hand as soon as the ball entered his Position. GRP!

The ball began twisting over itself! But the red energy that crackled across its surface had not diminished in the least. At the same time, it continued on its trajectory, even faster and stronger than before. A second later, with a maniacal grin on his face, the General hit the ball with his closed fist. BOOOM!

As he did so, the ball flew back towards Alucard at twice the speed.

It passed over the net, then made an abrupt adjacent curve.

Towards Liam!

But Liam was already over the net, using both hands to send it back. CRKH!

Both Liam's arms shattered upon impact. Every little bone. But he succeeded in sending the ball back towards the General!

Except... the General had his head lowered.

As the ball came to him, he simply... did nothing.

The ball hit the General directly in the chest.

BOP!

He didn't move a single inch.

Instead... the ball bounced from his chest and fell to the floor below him.

But the General's head was still lowered.

Silence.

'Did he fall asleep?' Liam thought incredulously. 'What's he doing?'

Several seconds passed.

"The General," the Mayor said hesitantly, pausing for several seconds and letting the tension mount. "...Disqualified."
