Chapter 592 - 361: Master Ma is Having a Blast

Chapter 592: Chapter 361: Master Ma is Having a Blast

King Arthur truly wanted the Sword in the Stone. This was not the first time she had made the request.

Wizard: "We can try."

Lin Qi didn’t give a definitive answer. After all, all he wanted was to secretly interfere in the battle and create some trouble for the Round Table Conference.

King Arthur: "Good!"

King Arthur didn’t find the Wizard’s tone dismissive. She immediately composed herself, ready to strike at the opportune moment.

...

The commotion in the underground pipes wasn’t too loud. From start to finish, neither side had used high-powered weapons.

With Tier Four Close-Combat Techniques, the agility of high-powered weapons couldn’t match a pure burst of power.

The outcome of a Tier Four battle almost always came down to a contest of Will Power.

Because of this, ordinary Prosthetic Implanters hadn’t noticed anything too unusual, but the Tier Fours from the two T0-level Mercenary Corps and the American and African Regions already wore grave expressions.

’MacLeod’s Will Power is fluctuating wildly. Is he actually at a disadvantage?’

’A new Tier Four has intervened. MacLeod is being ganged up on.’

’A Highest-Level Mercenary Corps? Which faction arranged this? They actually have two Tier Fours, and neither is a weakling.’

The two T0-level Mercenary Corps quietly opened a communication channel and began exchanging intelligence.

As Mercenary Forces, they tended to be more unified at times like this.

"Let’s just watch and see what happens. From now on, the Mercenary Realm might have a new T0-level Mercenary Corps. With two powerful Tier Fours at the helm, their High Level combat strength is pretty much sufficient."

"Keep an eye on the people from the American and African Regions. If they try to support MacLeod, we can run appropriate interference."

A consensus was quickly reached, and the Tier Four Powerhouses on the surface maintained a delicate balance.

It wasn’t just the T0-level Mercenary Corps watching the powerhouses from the American and African Regions. Baili Xueyuan had also quietly released a sliver of her Will Power.

’If those two tried to interfere with Master Ma’s fight, Baili Xueyuan would be the first to object!’

For reasons both official and personal, Baili Xueyuan would intervene to stop them.

Carl and Jabari glanced at each other, a tacit understanding quickly reached.

’Let’s wait and see!’

’There’s no need to help MacLeod.’

’That’s MacLeod, the chief of the Round Table Conference, a Tier Four Peak, the Grand Knight Commander, the Gray Knight!’

’He of all people shouldn’t need help!’

Although according to the laws of the Super Alliance, the powerhouses of the Four Major Regions had an obligation to maintain stability in World City.

But MacLeod’s combat power should theoretically be sufficient. Even if they just watched, no one could find fault with them.

Just like that, MacLeod was left isolated and without support.

Originally, everything had been progressing so smoothly. He had successfully damaged the prestige of the Asian Administrative Region and the Eastern Alliance. But then the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps made their move, causing the situation to take a sharp downturn.

...

In the underground pipes, MacLeod looked a bit worse for wear.

Bathed in steam filled with heat-resistant viruses and bacteria, MacLeod’s face flushed an unnatural red. His gaze was locked firmly on Master Ma.

"You’re... those people from the Asian Alliance City!"

MacLeod recalled the intelligence brought back by members of the Round Table Conference.

Back then, the eighth seat of the Round Table Conference, the Tier Four Second Stage Knight Ludwig, had been attacked.

The two attackers were a combination of a Tier Four Martial Artist and a Tier Four Knight.

’Could it be a coincidence?’

MacLeod didn’t believe such improbable events could happen; the attackers from both incidents were most likely the same people.

"You’re targeting the Round Table Conference?" MacLeod muttered to himself.

He didn’t expect an answer. He was just organizing his thoughts by talking to himself.

’Highest-Level Mercenary Corps...’

MacLeod sent the information to the Round Table Conference’s intelligence department via his Intelligent Brain, hoping to get more information.

Unfortunately, the intelligence department’s response was very brief.

[No valuable intel found at this time]

Thanks to Guang Ling’s handiwork, the intel on the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps was clean.

Most traces of their members’ activities had been concealed.

The most the outside world could find was the Mercenary Corps’s mission record.

This kind of intel was useless in a fight.

"Why are you targeting the Round Table Conference? Who..." MacLeod’s voice was still low, seemingly trying to ask Master Ma some questions during a lull in the fighting.

But at that moment, King Arthur’s voice rang out, "Master Ma, he’s stalling for time! We only have six minutes. We have to get out of here in six minutes. The other Round Table Knights are almost here!"

King Arthur cut in, relaying intel that Guang Ling had just provided.

Master Ma’s Intelligent Brain had been destroyed, so he couldn’t see the content sent by Guang Ling and could only hear it relayed through King Arthur.

Upon hearing King Arthur’s words, Master Ma immediately understood.

His Suffering Will surged again. There was no sign of his injuries healing; in fact, they seemed to worsen as blood gushed from them.

As his injuries worsened, Master Ma’s Will Power continued to amplify.

If before he only had the strength of the Tier Four Fourth Stage, now he possessed its very essence.

Such powerful Will Power was only a hair’s breadth away from MacLeod’s "Life Towards Death"!

"Why? I’ll tell you why! The reason is simple. You did what you shouldn’t have done and said what you shouldn’t have said!"

As Master Ma spoke, he activated his Prosthetic Body at full power.

Completely disregarding the wear and tear on his Prosthetic Body, he attacked MacLeod as if he had a death wish.

MacLeod didn’t hesitate. His only remaining arm reached directly for the hilt of the Sword in the Stone.
