Chapter 985: Chapter 744 Old Friend_3
```
Small cubic structures floated in the surrounding air, with runes constantly emerging from them.
"Since you’ve all come, why not hurry up and enter?" Delas said with a smile.
"Don’t come in! This is a Mana Suppression Field! It’s one of the Giant’s legacies! The stronger you are, the more you’ll be suppressed after entering here!" Felpe shouted.
Long Yi’s brow furrowed slightly. This was indeed a tricky trap. The stronger one was, the more they would be suppressed? But it seemed that Delas was unaffected?
"What’s the matter, scared? Weren’t you looking mighty just a moment ago? Come on, try casting a Magic spell again?" Delas taunted loudly.
"Bullshit, I’m not stupid. Who would fall for the trap if they knew?" Long Yi looked at Delas with disdain.
"Hahaha! Turns out you’re all the same, eh! Look, Felpe, is this your new friend? Look at them! They watch you kneel at my feet, indifferent from afar, what’s the difference between them and me?" Delas roared with laughter.
"Hey, you seem to have misunderstood something." Long Yi scratched his head and said, "We’re not friends with Felpe; at best we are just using each other. I help him improve his strength, and he helps us deal with you. This is a transaction, nothing more."
"Tsk tsk, this poor fellow, thinking that because he’s a bastard, everyone else in the world must be bastards too. He must have been miserably oppressed when he was little to develop such a twisted character when he grew up," Ai Lin shook her head and said.
"He’s just making excuses for his bastard behavior, which shows that even he is ashamed of what he’s done in the past. I believe he must be trying to salvage his feigned friendship now that he sees Felpe becoming powerful again, right?"
Little Zi analyzed.
The expression on Delas’s face changed. These three, with their seemingly casual talk, had almost spilled all his secrets, and they were spot on!
"Female Demon! You’ve been reading my memories!" Delas roared.
"Are you an idiot? How can I read your memories from such a distance?" Little Zi retorted disdainfully.
"Wait a second, does he mean to admit that everything we said is true?" Long Yi laughed.
"..." Delas realized that if this continued, he would only become more passive!
"Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving! Come forth! Eternal Arena!"
The ground roared, and an arena materialized out of thin air! This was unmistakably Adaman’s magic—the Eternal Arena!
"Hey, hey, can’t you come up with something original?" Long Yi glanced at the empty stands around him, "And where are your people?"
As he spoke, people swarmed in from all around! The core disciples, who had seemingly left, had returned.
"I say, this isn’t what we agreed on! Didn’t we all surrender and leave? Isn’t this cheating?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
Clearly, the expressions of those core disciples weren’t pretty. They knew all too well that neither Delas’s side nor Long Yi’s was someone they could afford to provoke. But as disciples of Delas, who had a longstanding imposing authority, they dared not defy him.
Moreover, at this moment, Delas appeared to be in a winning position!
```
The Eternal Arena was activated, and the indestructible shield pushed Long Yi, Ai Lin, and Little Zi steadily toward the center of the trap.
Facing this shield formed by tens of thousands of people, Long Yi had no expectation that he could break through with a single punch and straightforwardly walked into the trap.
However, the event that Delas had hoped for did not occur.
Whether it was Long Yi, Ai Lin, or Little Zi, they were not suppressed.
"Impossible! How can you still be standing here! Kneel before me!" Delas roared.
"This idiot, since Felpe already warned us that the stronger we are, the more likely we are to be suppressed, why don’t we just block all magic and Fighting Aura?" Long Yi looked at Delas as if he were looking at a fool.
"But Little Zi is clearly a Female Demon! A being of energy!" Delas could not believe it.
"There’s no need to explain this to you. In any case, with your intelligence, you wouldn’t understand even if I did explain, so you’d better just go ahead and die," said Long Yi as the trio walked towards Delas.
"Me, die? Hahahaha! Since you’ve already entered here, you surely daren’t use any magic or Fighting Aura. How could you possibly still be my opponent!"
"What, you plan to scare us to death with your boasting?" Ai Lin laughed.
"Of course, I’ll use this!" A suit of armor was taken out from Delas’s personal space; the armor was made entirely of metal. Although it looked somewhat old, its obvious Giant style indicated that it was definitely a Giant’s legacy. The front of the armor opened, Delas walked in, and the armor automatically closed.
"Be careful, this is Battle Armor... something the Giants once made for humans of the Human Realm... With it on, one possesses immense strength... and moreover, this space won’t suppress it..." Felpe said with difficulty.
"This thing..." Long Yi silently looked at Ai Lin and Little Zi; was even something from the Human Realm now considered a treasure?
"Then let me see just how strong this thing really is!" Long Yi didn’t say a second word before charging straight in.
Delas wasn’t very tall, and even with the Battle Armor, he was still shorter than Long Yi. Most importantly, his combat skills were practically nonexistent. He was a Mage, and in his view, even if Long Yi was really good at melee combat, it was all due to the assistance of Fighting Aura or Mana. Without Fighting Aura and Mana, he was essentially nothing.
But when they truly clashed, Delas was shocked to find that Long Yi’s brute strength was terrifying! Because Long Yi was actually on par with the Battle Armor using nothing but sheer muscle power!
Damn it! This is Battle Armor made by a Giant! And this Long Yi can actually match it with brute strength! Was he some kind of monster?
However, despite Long Yi’s surprising brute strength, the Battle Armor still had the advantage in terms of absolute power. Delas wasn’t skilled in combat, he almost entirely relied on the defensive power and strength of the Battle Armor in his clashes with Long Yi.
To his surprise, even when he managed to hit Long Yi a few times, it didn’t seem to bother Long Yi in the slightest. This bastard wasn’t just incredibly strong, but he was also tough as nails!
As the two exchanged blows, Long Yi also studied the Battle Armor. After comparing it with the Battle Armor from the Human Realm, Long Yi realized this armor was probably older, with some design differences in certain areas. Its energy output was higher, and its lethality was also greater. But for some reason, the Giants eventually left humans with some that had a lower lethality.
"My turn to try!" Ai Lin shouted lightly, leaping out as Long Yi immediately retreated to clear the field.
Compared to Long Yi’s aggressive fighting style, Ai Lin’s approach favored speed and technique. Previously, Long Yi was almost entirely using brute strength to contend with the Battle Armor, but now Ai Lin focused on attacking the joints and connecting parts of the armor. Despite Delas’s full-force attempts to strike back, Ai Lin’s agile movement always allowed her to dodge. Her Cosmic Stone bracers had a terrifying strength, and almost every hit left a dent on the Battle Armor, causing Delas to tremble with fear.
So it turned out that even without any energy, both Long Yi and Ai Lin still possessed such terrifying power! (To be continued.
