Chapter 2622
Darryl's eyes flickered. Countless ways to parry the sword attack flashed through his mind in such a critical moment, but in the end, he gave up.
Darryl's strength would allow him to dodge the attack easily, but that would expose his identity.
He decided to give up on resisting the attack. He raised his hand and placed them in front of him to form a protective shield.
Boom!
The crescent- moon- shaped sword shadow slashed on the protective shield fiercely in the blink of an eye, and the shield instantly shattered. Darryl snorted and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.
Puff!
Darryl was sent flying out from the battle stage, and he finally landed on the ground. His face was pale, and he looked very weak.
Darryl felt so helpless.
'F*ck, I thought I could easily take the seat as the mercenary groups' alliance leader. Unexpectedly, that annoying Blue Rose came out of nowhere. I won't contest to be the leader anymore.'
Wow!
The audience gave a heated response.
Melody was worthy of her title as Blue Rose amongst the mercenary teams. She was really powerful.
Lillian stood there quietly. Her delicate face looked a little regretful. She thought that if Darryl seized the position as the leader, her Blood Thorn Mercenary Group would become famous.
Unexpectedly, Darryl had lost to Melody; that woman was powerful, indeed.
''Darren...''
Lillian walked forward quickly and took Darryl's arm. She was worried sick. ''How are you? Are you okay?''
Even though Darryl had lost the tournament, Lillian was grateful that Darryl had wanted to help her resolve the crisis.
Darryl shook his head and smiled; he assured Lillian that he was okay.
After that, Darryl breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Melody, who was still in mid-air. His eyes flickered faintly.
Next, Darryl said to Lillian, ''The tournament is over. I am leaving.''
''I'll give you a ride,'' Lillian said as she bit her lips. Then, she left the valley with Darryl.
There was a heated discussion amongst the audience. No one noticed that Darryl and Lillian had left. They all had their eyes on Melody.
Jamie and his members showered Melody with praises. After all, Melody was their alliance leader, and they had to be in her good graces.
''Blue Rose is amazing!''
''Blue Rose? She's now the alliance leader...'' ''Right, right. Alliance Leader...''
As she listened to everyone's cheers, Melody cracked a faint smile. Her figure fluttered, and she slowly descended onto the ground.
Melody smiled at Harris after she landed on the battle stage. ''If no one here wants to challenge me, you may announce the result of the tournament.11
She was not loud, but she sounded determined.
Harris nodded, and then he slowly stepped out and looked at the audience. ''The Leader of the Rose Mercenary Group, Melody, has outstanding strength and skill. From now on, she will be the leader of the mercenary groups.11
Harris bowed toward Melody. ''Pleased to meet the leader!'' ''Pleased to meet the leader.''
Suddenly, everyone knelt around the battle stage.
A smile crept up the corners of Melody's lips, and she was about to raise her hand to signal everyone to get up. Suddenly, she trembled when she saw the palm print on the left corner of her dress.
It was a burning palm print! That was a trace left by Darryl's palm attack. 'It's just... how is that possible?'
She had discharged the Nine Devil Ice Vein Technique to form protection over herself that even her clothes were protected. No power in the world could repel her technique unless it were the world's greatest enchanted flame, the White Lily Cold Flame.
'Wait... the White Lily Cold Flame?' 'Was that...'
Melody felt her legs buckled. She stared at the palm print on the left corner of her dress speechlessly.
''That kid just now... no, where's he?'' Finally, Melody recovered her senses. She stomped her feet anxiously and looked around. 'Where is Darren?'
''It seems like he has left...''
