Chapter 339 Who Can't Find Allies?
Soulmancers aren't Dark Power Wielders. Whether it's hypocrisy or true righteousness, at least in public, they need a reason to engage in combat.
Just like Julian picking a fight with William just now, he first had to take the moral high ground and then engage in open and fair combat.
It is said that only in this way can one avoid falling into darkness on the path of power enhancement.
As Steven said, this region is vast, and there are only so many large Soulmancer organizations in the world. What is there to fight over?
If a real battle broke out, it would be bad for everyone.
However, these elites who have become part of the Soulmancer organizations are only giving face to Steven for now, verbally advocating for peaceful coexistence. But if they really discover some rare and exotic treasure, they would undoubtedly end up fighting bitterly.
The idea of 'first come, first served' doesn't exist!
In the world of Soulmancers, it's always the one with the biggest fist who has the final say.
The other Soulmancers dispersed quickly, but some members of the Emerald Lion Guild were still around, seemingly reporting back to the elite members of their Guild.
How could they let this incident go so easily?
It can only be said that this time Julian led the team, and now that Julian is dead, the rest don't dare to confront William head-on.
Moreover, Steven is at the peak of mid-level Soulmancer strength. If it really came to a fight, the people of the Emerald Lion Guild would definitely not come out on top. What they need to do now is to keep an eye on Steven and his group.
"Friends from the Emerald Lion Guild, perhaps it's best for you all to disperse," Steven also played the role of a peacemaker. In his view, even if the Emerald Lion Guild sent their elite, it would be futile against William.
In Steven's eyes, even if the Emerald Lion Guild sent an elite with Demi-God level strength, they might not be a match for William.
Why bother seeking trouble?
A young man from the Emerald Lion Guild, in response to Steven's advice, coldly said, "What now? Is Director Garcia capable of taking on all of us and defeating us?"
Steven was momentarily speechless. This kid must have been taught by Julian, the same attitude, not knowing what's good for him!
Hearing him say that, William also laughed: "You think you're the only one who can call for help?"
He then took out his phone and called Alice.
"Alice, come over and help me in a fight!"
William was generally amicable and actually disliked brawling. Now that someone was insisting on a fight, he naturally called his apprentice to practice.
"Another... fight?" Alice was also frustrated upon hearing William's words.
Since elementary school, she has been saving people through medical means. Before meeting William, not to mention killing, she rarely even argued with others. Now, when William comes to her, it's often about getting her into fights with others.
She's a girl, after all...
And William, who claimed to have lost all his powers, was just a big liar.
"I'll send you my location. Hurry up, or I'll get beaten to death." After saying this, William hung up and sent his location to Alice.
The people from the Emerald Lion Guild, hearing William so arrogantly call for backup, only knew he was summoning a strong ally. They didn't know how powerful, but they guessed at least a peak mid-level Soulmancer.
"Hmph! Stay if you dare! I want to see who you can call!" The Emerald Lion Guild members were not scared at all. They had informed their Guild Master through their Guild's communication crystal and had just received a message that he would arrive soon.
The Guild Master of the Emerald Lion Guild was a powerhouse with Demi-God level strength. Although not invincible, there were few on Earth who could be his match.
Other Guild's powerhouses certainly wouldn't intervene in this matter.
William sneered and said, "You'll be scared once you see her."
Steven was also amazed. William really loved to play around. This supreme king here was pretending to be a newbie, calling Alice to fight?
"William... their Guild has a Demi-God level powerhouse." Steven felt compelled to remind William.
He knew William was powerful, but to what extent, he wasn't quite sure.
It was a reminder so William would be mentally prepared.
William raised an eyebrow and arrogantly said, "A mere Demi-God strength small Soulmancer, Alice can totally handle it."
"..."
The people around were speechless.
Since when did a powerhouse with Demi-God strength get referred to as 'mere'...
Are you too full of yourself?
You're just a novice Soulmancer, you know...
And many from the 13th Bureau knew that Alice was only at a mid-level Soulmancer standard, seemingly still in the early phase of that level.
Though her combat ability was relatively strong.
But to call a Soulmancer at the early stage of mid-level Soulmancer standard to battle a Demi-God strength powerhouse.
That's like being drunk and delirious.
Steven didn't know what else to say.
Since William seemed so nonchalant, he probably understood that William wasn't afraid of a Demi-God strength powerhouse.
So how William wanted to handle it, he decided not to bother.
If Alice truly could defeat a Demi-God strength powerhouse with her mid-level Soulmancer abilities, that would indeed be interesting.
Time passed slowly.
The people from the 13th Bureau didn't leave, and the members of the Emerald Lion Guild kept their eyes on William and his group, until a golden light flew in from the horizon.
"It's the Guild Master!"
The Emerald Lion Guild members got excited upon seeing the golden light, with some already starting to cheer.
As the golden light faded, a tall man standing on a flying sword hovered in mid-air.
The people from the 13th Bureau felt immense pressure.
It was as if a giant mountain was pressing on their chests, making it hard to breathe.
The Soulmancers who had just dispersed were now watching from a distance.
"Wow! The Emerald Lion Guild really pulled out all the stops! Emerald Sage Steel himself has come."
"Don't you know? They say that Victor, Emerald Sage Steel's foster son, and Julian were good friends. With such a big incident, it's not surprising that he's involved."
"That's a Demi-God strength powerhouse! It's been so many years since a Demi-God strength fighter made a move. Is he going to annihilate everyone from the 13th Bureau this time?"
"Heh, it's not impossible!" A mid-level Soulmancer chuckled softly, "Their strongest in the 13th Bureau, Steven, is just at the peak of mid-level Soulmancer. If Emerald Sage Steel wants, with a single swing of his giant sword, none of them would survive."
...
The Emerald Sage Steel, as the Soulmancers called him, had flowing long hair and seemed to carry a giant sword glowing with a mysterious light. His gaze was sharp like a sword, his presence immense, as if a warrior descended from the heavens.
"Who killed our Guild's Vice President?" The voice of Emerald Sage Steel thundered through the area, making everyone feel an immense pressure, as if the entire space was enveloped by his powerful energy, and life and death seemed to hinge on his single thought.
Of course, except for William.
To William, this so-called Emerald Sage Steel seemed to be just average in strength. If he wanted, he could still eliminate him instantly.
"I did it! You just wait, I've called for backup!" William, still in his armor, shouted defiantly.
"You dare to speak so boldly!" Emerald Sage Steel couldn't be bothered with idle talk with William. He unleashed his prideful sword technique secret skill, a sword light streaking across the sky like a meteor, charging directly at William, intending to cut him down immediately.
As Emerald Sage Steel raised his giant sword, a dazzling light descended from the sky, illuminating the entire surrounding area. This massive energy, with unmatched power, fiercely slashed towards William.
The energy beam fell, striking William.
And then... nothing happened...
William just stood there, his armor without a single scratch, and he even laughed, "What's the matter? Scared? Can't wait?"
"..." Garen Steel looked at William in confusion. How was this possible?
A novice Soulmancer took his sword technique head-on without a scratch?
Had he lost his touch in killing after years of not fighting?
