chapter-1514
Meanwhile, Castor was focused on the four in front of him. Fire flared up in his hammer, "I will open the path for you!" He was ready to sacrifice himself so Eson could make an escape. He thought of taking the four in front of him with his strike.
He raised his hammer and slammed it to the ground. The ground split up, forming a meter crack, and then lava burst out from the crack. Just like a wave, the fire went to the sides, filling the area with lava.
Of course, the lava would not hurt the four in front of him. He was aware of that, but that was not enough. However, it forced them to form a barrier from the lava.
Castor immediately identified Karoen, the weakest link as the target, hoping the other three would come for him as well. He leaped toward the octopus's head with his hammer.
"I will buy you some time, Eson! Leave!"He slammed the hammer down toward the barrier.
Boom!
Karoen's barrier cracked, but it was enough to stop the hammer. But he thought it would be enough to pull the others' attention on him. He peeked to the side and noticed his friend went after Tang Shaoyang. He did not know when, but he saw his friend was blocked by the ice wall.
Castor was confused for a moment, but he quickly caught on. His friend was never with him. Eson left him to fight the weaker side. He realized how silly he was when he said he would buy time for his friend. Even though he did not say it, his friend used him as bait.
That was infuriating, but he was aware that he did not have time to be mad at his friend. The reason he put himself as bait was because he had an item that could help him escape. He took out a scroll from his inventory. It was a teleportation scroll, and he had set up his destination in his room. The plan was to buy some time for Eson, and he would escape later with his scroll.
However, since his friend abandoned him, then he did not need to take a risk fighting four of these people. He was about to open the scroll, but he saw his hand fall off. His wrist was cut by the void crack. His eyes widened in shock and without a second thought, he released his hammer to reach the scroll.
Before he could catch the scroll, his ankle was grabbed and his vision spun. It was followed by a booming sound as his body was slammed into the lava. His head was buzzing from the impact. As his sight became clearer. He saw the bear was still holding his ankle.However, Castor did not think that much about the bear. His mind was still in his teleportation scroll. He looked up and saw the scroll was in the fallen angel's hand. That was his only chance to survive in this silly and stupid ordeal. He was in this situation because of his friend, but the same friend abandoned him.
"He almost escaped from us. This is a teleportation scroll. I did not know there was such an item, putting a teleportation in the scroll. This is an interesting concept utilizing Void Energy." Zara was amazed by the scroll in her hand and did not pay attention that much to the minotaur. It was as if she was not in the middle of a fight.
Castor closed his eyes, accepting his fate to die. He lay down in the pool of lava, no longer having the will to continue the fight. Just as he thought he would be finished, he sensed that the bear released his ankle. He opened his eyes in surprise only to see Doombringer right above him. The bear was also on the same spot, giving him an annoyed expression.
The poor man was confused about what happened. As if these people lost interest in him all of a sudden. Then he noticed the envious look on the bear and Behemoth above him. He followed what they looked at. It was a fight between Eson and Tang Shaoyang.
Eson was not less miserable than him even though it was just one against two. Eson was cornered, again and again. Castor witnessed the sword pierced through the wings and killed his friend. He watched how Eson died, and he realized that Tang Shaoyang might be above them.
As the fight over there ended, the focus was on Castor once more. All seven looked at him, and Tang Shaoyang came over.
"What's wrong?" Tang Shaoyang asked as the scene in front of him was funny. A five-meter-tall minotaur lay down, being watched over by the bear and Behemoth. That was it, the two spirits who were crazy about fighting did nothing.
"You are quite lucky that you got to fight," Afi then lowered his gaze at the minotaur, "Look at this weakling. He lost his spirit to fight. What's the fun of fighting someone who has given up?"
Doombringer looked away, no longer interested in the fight let alone the conversation. Zara landed next to Tang Shaoyang and handed the teleportation scroll. The scene was contradicting what actually happened. It was a battle between God Ranks, and yet, it looked like some friendly gathering of friends. Zara, Karoen, and Tang Shaoyang talked about the teleportation scroll for a while.
Castor was mad that these people did not take him seriously. He was their enemy, and he was being ignored. But then he realized what about it? The fight did not last that long. He was nothing in front of them. This was the first time that he felt like this, being ignored during a fight. This was the biggest humiliation in his life. And yet he could do nothing about it.
"What are we going to do about him?" It was Avyn who broke the ice, looking down at the Abyssal Minotaur.
Tang Shaoyang came over, and it seemed like Castor truly had given up. The man did not stand up even though no one was holding him down. The minotaur was free from restraint, and yet the man remained on the ground.
He squatted next to Castor's big head, "What's for me if I spare your life?"
