The Legendary Man Chapter 698-Now that Vicador and the others were injured, Karl naturally would not waste the opportunity to attack the enemies.
With no hesitation, the trio rushed down the hill.
At the same time, a person covered in blood crawled out of the crater.
It was Jonathan. He was covered in blood and dirt as he crouched on the ground with a broken leg in his right hand. And with his eyebrows and hair burned off from his battle with Zebedee, he looked far from a human.
Noting Karl and the others, Jonathan slowly walked over while carrying the bloody leg.
“What the h*ll?”
Xavion spun on his heels and fled. This time, he did not need to wait for Karl’s instructions, for Jonathan had locked his gaze on them with a bloodthirsty aura.
Meanwhile, Sirius spread his arms out furiously as he sped into the distance. “Spread out! Whoever gets caught will be the unlucky one!”
With that, Sirius took a right turn and ran as fast as his legs could carry.
Karl, who was standing on the left side, took a turn and sped away as well. As the only person who was standing between the duo just now, Xavion had no choice but to run forward.
Logically, Jonathan should be running after Sirius or Karl. After all, they each took the left and right directions, which meant they were closer to Jonathan if he were to run in a straight line.
Unfortunately, Jonathan seemed to have locked on to Xavion. As soon as the trio began running, Jonathan sped past the hill to catch up with Xavion with the broken leg in hand.
Running frantically, Xavion cussed, “F*ck! D*mn it, Karl! Are you sure this dude has lost his rationality? Why do I feel like he’s getting revenge on me!”
“Nonsense! You’re just unlucky if he catches up to you. Besides, it’s your fault that your family kidnapped Mr. Goldstein’s wife.”
Though Karl said that, he still rushed back and got beside Jonathan.
Karl decided to put aside the matter regarding the respectable families for the time being. After all, he and Xavion had the same goal in Remdik. He could not just watch the latter get killed.
Apart from Karl, Sirius, too, rushed over. Just like that, three men could be seen running after one person, with Jonathan in the middle.
“Ah!”
Jonathan suddenly let out a shout and threw the broken leg at Karl. And, without warning, he changed his direction and charged toward Sirius.
“Take this!” Sirius yelled, shooting out his spear that turned into tiny glints of light that enveloped the space in front of him.
Even though Jonathan was faced with a dense attack, he still grinned widely and caught the tip of the spear with ease.
“Abandon the spear!”
Sirius immediately drew back.
Concurrently, Karl unsheathed his saber and brought the back of the weapon down on Jonathan’s neck.
Clang!
The spear and the saber collided, sending Karl tumbling backward.
“Find a way to knock him out or he’ll die of exhaustion!”
Karl’s bellow echoed throughout the forest. However, hesitation crept into the hearts of Xavion and Sirius.
They were aware of how great a threat Jonathan was to them.
Although having someone like him by their side was the most powerful assurance, a fight between Asura’s Office and the respectable families would still break out in the end.
At the same time, Jonathan was the biggest threat to the respectable families.
Xavion and Sirius did not think it was a bad idea to drag the battle out and make Jonathan die of exhaustion now that he had entered a frenzied state.
Karl had a bad feeling when he saw the duo deflecting Jonathan’s attacks in the forest with no intention of following his instructions.
“Asura’s Office will fall apart if Jonathan dies! Once the members of Asura’s Office disperse, Yaleview Army will be able to annex all the soldiers. When that happens, neither the mundane world’s military power of two million soldiers nor the respectable families will be able to defeat them—not forgetting to mention the Salladay family that’s collaborating with the Yaleview Army. Without Jonathan, you won’t be able to fight against the Salladay family. His survival will only be a threat to you guys, but if he dies, you’ll suffer absolute defeat.”
Upon hearing that, Xavion snorted coldly and shot out three triangular banners from his hands before pinning them onto the hillside.
“Space altering formation! Activate!”
Soon, mist rose into the air, and Xavion retreated into it.
“Lure him in! Let’s restrain him first!” he yelled while standing in the middle of the formation.
Gritting his teeth, Karl shot forward and struck Jonathan’s chest with his saber.
Clink!
Jonathan lifted his hand and gripped the saber.
“Twilight Attack!”
Sirius’ voice rang out clearly behind Jonathan.
Following that, three shadows in the form of spears descended from the night sky and rammed into Jonathan’s Spirit Armor, one after the other.
Seeing that, Karl hurriedly stepped aside while Jonathan’s body slammed into the formation banners like a cannonball.
The mist dispersed to reveal Xavion, who stood in the middle of the formation with his face drenched in sweat.
At the moment, Jonathan kept running around frantically in circles like a headless chicken.
“What the h*ll? The formation banners can’t hold on any longer!” Xavion shrieked. “Knock him out now while I can still restrain him, or else we’re going to die—”
Before Xavion could even finish, Sirius had transformed into an afterimage and swung his spear against Jonathan’s back.
Smack!
A crisp sound echoed throughout the forest as Jonathan flew out from among the formation banners, slamming into a hill over ten meters away.
Panting heavily, Xavion, Sirius, and Karl watched Jonathan rise to his feet with a grim look in his eyes.
With every step he took toward them, his aura weakened.
Finally, he collapsed to the ground about ten meters away from them, and everything fell silent.
“I-Is he dead?” Xavion turned to look at Karl.
“He can’t be.” Karl could not give a definite answer. After all, a person who entered a frenzied state was no different from a maniac. They were equally unpredictable.
While Karl and Xavion were watching Jonathan with caution, Sirius carefully made his way over to the latter with his spear.
When he was about three meters away from the body, he gingerly poked Jonathan’s thigh with his spear.
The moment the trio saw two wounds appear with blood gushing out, they let out a sigh of relief.
“He passed out,” Sirius commented calmly, looking as cold as ever.
His behavior annoyed Xavion so much that he could not help but sneer, “Stop it with that act. Don’t pretend like you didn’t run away like a scaredy-cat just now.”
At the same time, a huge campfire was crackling and burning in the mountain ranges of Delisgar Ridge in Chanaea.
Joshua and Hayden were sitting beside the fire and munching on roasted rabbit meat.
“Joshua, are you sure this is the Whitley family’s ancestral land? Are you sure you’re not lost?”
“Uh…” Joshua took a bite of the meat and laughed awkwardly. “Well… My family’s ancestral land opens every two thousand years. I’ve never been there before.”
Hayden almost choked on his food when he heard Joshua’s answer. “Two thousand years? Joshua, you’ve got to be honest with me. My family risked being wiped out in order to save you just so we could collaborate with you. Now that you’re saying this, I’m getting the feeling that you’re not reliable at all.”
“Relax. I’ve never been there before, but I can promise you we’re near it. I can feel it.”
As Joshua was saying that, his gaze fell on his ring.
It should be time…
