Swoosh!
The flash of the sword aura vanished in an instant.
Duron had already passed by Nathan.
Both parties stood back to back.
The scene was silent, and all eyes were fixed on Nathan and Duron.
Who won? Who lost?
Nathan calmly sheathed his battle sword, and behind him, the lightsword in Duron's hand flickered twice, then immediately dimmed.
A streak of blood appeared on Duron's body, extending from his left shoulder to his right abdomen.
He took two steps forward.
Then, his body split in two, crashing down with a thunderous thud.
He was actually cleaved in two by Nathan's single stroke!
This scene caused the powerful space pirates present at the scene to exclaim in surprise one after another.
Toothless and Scarbrow exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy.
This man from Earth is incredibly strong. We're saved!
They finally saw hope for their space pirate crew.
In stark contrast to the ecstatic manners of the space pirates, the faces of the Gods present at the scene turned extremely unsightly.
Even Torii's expression had a hint of seriousness.
He furrowed his brows, his gaze once again sizing up Nathan. “Earthling, state your name. I do not kill those without a name.”
Nathan sneered. “You're not worthy of knowing my name!”
A surge of boiling anger erupted from the depths of Torii's heart.
As the long-standing overlord of the universe, the Gods boasted powerful figures like Torii. As one of the famous elites of the Gods, few ever dared to act out of turn in their presence.
Although Nathan had just killed a God Paladin, he also took down Torii's deputy, Duron.
However, Torii still didn't take Nathan seriously, and at this moment, he didn't even bother to use his combat form. He simply walked straight toward Nathan.
At this moment, the fleet of spaceships, Steel Wings, encircling the space pirate group, ready to launch an attack at any moment, all noticed that Torii was preparing for a one-on-one duel with the adversary.
Right then, commanders of each spaceship, one after another, sought guidance from Digby, the acting commander on the flagship.
“Commander, we have a problem. General Torii is about to engage in combat with the pirates. What do we do now? Should we launch an immediate attack on the pirate group, or should we send a rescue team to assist General Torii?”
Digby Torii's student.
In Digby's view, among the Gods, Medille the God King was the strongest, while his teacher, Torii, ranked second.
Yet, this mere band of pirates dared to lay a hand on his teacher. He simply thought they were digging their own grave by challenging Torii.
He laughed heartily and said, “Everyone, there's no need to rush. You all don't seem to believe in the immense power of General Torii. And yet, you think these lowly races that make up the space pirates can challenge him. Let's just wait and see. We'll discuss this further after the general has defeated the challenger. If we recklessly open fire, we might accidentally hurt the general or his wife. That would be a serious offense.”
The commanders on each spaceship agreed with what Digby had said. Consequently, they all instructed their respective ships not to open fire and to wait for further information.
