Meanwhile, in a distant place, on the peak of God's Palm, Joshua had already risen to the occasion and challenged Nathan before Gregg could speak. During the battle with Verhand, Nathan managed to slay him, but not before being injured by Verhand's sword. Moreover, Nathan used his ultimate move when killing Verhand. Hence, Nathan must have consumed a significant amount of energy. Joshua didn't want to give Nathan any time to catch the latter's breath, so he simply continued to challenge Nathan straightforwardly.
“Joshua, a King-Class vampire, challenges you.”
The human warriors at the scene couldn't help but start scolding upon seeing the situation. Colin angrily said, “What kind of king are you? I see you as nothing but shameless scoundrels! Is this how you challenge others? Since you can't defeat Commander Cross, you resort to attrition warfare, huh?”
Hepburn also reprimanded angrily, “That's right! You don't even give Commander Cross a moment to catch his breath. I'm sure you're just lacking confidence when facing Commander Cross, right?”
Facing ridicule and scolding from people like Colin and Hepburn, Joshua didn't seem to care at all. With a shameless expression, he said, “It was Commander Cross who personally stated that from this morning until nightfall, we, the elite vampires, can continuously challenge him. He had just fought two challengers. Is he already wanting to take a break from accepting the challenges?”
After saying that, Joshua looked at Nathan. Nathan said coldly, “I don't need to rest. I accept your challenge. You mean nothing to me, and compared to Verhand, you're even lesser. Killing you would be as easy as slaughtering chickens and dogs.”
Joshua flew into a rage and was about to attack immediately. However, Hepburn suddenly exclaimed, “Wait!” Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Hepburn the Holy Maiden hurried over, cutting off a piece of her battle skirt with a dagger. With a slightly flushed face, she said, “Mr. Cross, your wound hasn't been bandaged yet. Let me help you with that.”
After speaking, she turned her head and coldly said to Joshua, “Don't tell me that you don't even have time to wait for the wound to be bandaged.”
