"Hmmm, you are more arrogant than me, little insect! Soon you will know your folly to have come into this world," Simon said in a fury.
As his words left him, his figure flashed like a line making shapes in the Shield Dome. In the blink of an eye, dozens of disciples had lost their limbs. Cleaved arms and legs covered the Shield Dome like a slaughterhouse.
"How's it going? You must be furious to see your fellow disciples mangled like slaughtered sheep. Do you feel useless?" Simon said, his taunt in his voice. "You are still wet behind the ears, little warrior. Your little girlfriend is exceedingly beautiful. I wonder if you will still like her when her face is torn and her legs broken?"
Simon now stepped toward Elsa.
Panic shot through Darren's heart. His breath expanded violently before Simon could make his move.
"Fuck you!" Darren gave a loud shout and shot toward Simon like an arrow.
Darren had not yet used his last resort. He only wished to prevent Simon from harming Elsa.
Bang!
Darren was hit by Simon's palm and flew backward. "Save me, Elsa!" Darren called out as he was pushed back.
Suppressed by Simon's aura of death, Elsa was dumbfounded and could not move an inch. She did not regain her composure until she heard Darren's voice and saw his body being thrown by Simon's blow. Without hesitation, she placed a drop of blood essence on the rune paper Darren gave her before and triggered its effect.
In an instant, Elsa's figure faded away with the glint of the rune paper.
"Hmm? You want to escape?" Simon found something was wrong and delivered his palm into Elsa's torso.
A stream of blood spurted from Elsa's fading figure before she could vanish completely.
"Darren… " Only now did Elsa realize that Darren was saving her. What he had told her before was a lie. The rune paper would teleport the one who carried it.
"Elsa!" Thomas did not realize his daughter had escaped. In a towering rage, his sword intent erupted from his body and he dashed at Simon. "I will kill you!" he hissed between his clenched teeth.
But now, a wicked smile crept onto Darren's lips. "Now I have no more scruples, let us fight to the death!"
Darren's armor could block the attack from a Wonder Realm master two times. The first time he blocked the weakened Omnipotent Talent Skill, and this time he blocked Simon's palm attack. For this reason, he was nearly unharmed.
"Elders, attack him now!" Darren shouted at the Elders as his figure retracted.
Clark, Thomas, and Ezra all responded to Darren's voice at once and dispatched their most potent skills against Simon. Massive energies came together in a single force against Simon.
"Hmmm, you are overestimating your strength!" Simon said. Despite their best efforts, the powers of the Elders were ineffective. For Simon, kill them would be like swatting a mosquito.
But even to swat a mosquito, a person needed to make the motion to pull back his hand.
