Chapter 167: Can’t Stop Killing
This scene shocked countless people. The blood trail cutting across the sky, each drop was horrifyingly vivid, representing the fall of a Resonator.
In such a short time since Moon’s appearance, a second Resonator had already died.
Even Alistair, standing nearby, was momentarily dazed. Especially when Pedro’s blood splattered onto his clothes during the killing, his heart couldn’t help but tremble.
How could this happen?
After the daze passed, Alistair’s fury ignited. He roared, "You will die today!"
He understood the Elven Knight Path, knowing Carlotta had activated "Elven Symphony." For a brief instant, she gained terrifying destructive power, enabling her to kill Pedro.
In fact, Helan had fallen the same way earlier.
Though this attack was powerful, its limitations were obvious. Alistair knew it required a certain cooldown period and that Carlotta absolutely couldn’t reuse it again so soon.
So he charged forward once more.
"Yoo!"
Alistair, soaring in midair, plunged forward like an eagle striking the sky. Magical energy surged around him, even emitting the cry of a hawk, forming a dazzling trail of attack.
The five Resonators from the Farrell Kingdom behind also recognized the famous Elven Knight Path. They judged that Carlotta had entered a "cooldown" state and immediately seized the opportunity to attack.
"Kill!"
The five rapidly approached, eyes burning with desire, fixated on Carlotta.
Once they captured Carlotta, they could seize Stellar Workshop, the first-place prize from Sky Island. Its automatic alchemy function held immense value.
"So you’ve all come."
Carlotta tightly gripped her sword, Blue Sea.
This artifact shimmered azure, as if the ocean itself had been condensed into a blade. When swung, faint sounds of crashing waves could be heard, dazzling, beautiful, yet deadly.
She still benefited from the overall stat boost of "Elven Rhapsody." Facing the six charging at her, she swung her sword downward without hesitation, using "Elven Symphony" once again.
Since everyone had come, she could now use her ultimate technique as freely as basic attacks.
Swish!
Brilliant sword light illuminated the sky, filling the air with dazzling radiance.
Alistair, already engaged in battle, bore the brunt. Seeing the familiar flash of sword light erupt, his pupils sharply contracted, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Elven Symphony?
Why was it the Elven Symphony again?
How could she still use it?
In panic, Alistair could only defend, crossing his sword before him. A massive phantom of a hawk appeared around his body. He fiercely clapped his hands together, enclosing himself within the hawk’s form to resist.
But in the next instant, the radiant sword light slashed through. The hawk’s wings were forcibly torn apart.
And so was Alistair.
A thin red line spread from the top of his head down his body. He was brutally split open, his appearance especially gruesome.
"My end... how could it be here..."
Alistair couldn’t accept it. He was an outstanding descendant of the Carlisle family, with a long and promising future, destined for greatness. How could he be killed here by someone named Moon?
He couldn’t accept it, but in the end, he could only fall, filled with resentment.
At this moment, many in Swan Harbor were stunned, their expressions filled with disbelief, unable to accept what they had just seen.
A middle tier Resonator had died!
Even a middle tier Resonator had fallen to Moon, who was still only a Listener.
"So this is the Moon? This is the number one of Sky Island? Compared to the Moon, those so-called geniuses appear so pale."
Someone sighed, deeply shaken.
The battle wasn’t over.
After cutting down Alistair with a single slash, Carlotta charged directly at the approaching Farrell Kingdom forces. Her brilliant sword light swept through once more, again using Elven Symphony, cutting down another Farrell Kingdom Resonator before their eyes.
One slash, then another!
Carlotta’s flight card was a high-grade card. Her elven wings flapped behind her, rapidly closing the distance to the next Farrell Kingdom expert. Another sweep of her sword, and once again, that person was brutally slain.
At this moment, even Portland felt a chill run down his spine.
The Farrell Kingdom Resonators Carlotta had just killed, one was an early tier Resonator, the other a middle tier Resonator.
Even he, a peak tier Resonator, knew it wasn’t easy to kill a middle tier Resonator. Yet she did it with a single slash?
The terrifying aura emanating from her made even him feel dread.
"Why can the Elven Symphony be used consecutively? Why?"
Portland couldn’t help but growl.
This defied logic.
From what he knew, even in Elven Kingdom, only a handful of pure elves could consecutively use Elven Symphony at the peak tier Resonator stage.
To achieve this at the peak tier Listener stage? That was unprecedented, revolutionary!
At this moment, even a peak tier Resonator like Portland didn’t dare face Carlotta. He quickly retreated.
"You’ve come this far, why run now?"
Carlotta’s entire body radiated killing intent. In a flash, she caught up to another Farrell Kingdom member and cut him down before their eyes.
Only two remained.
The two left were both peak tier Resonators, retreating again and again, their faces extremely grim.
"Stop! Do you intend to wage war against the entire Farrell Kingdom alone?"
Another shouted, it was a slightly overweight man, a mage who had earlier unleashed a storm of thunder, but now only wanted to escape.
A single slash from Carlotta was enough to shatter all his thunder, completely extinguishing his will to fight.
"You threaten me? How laughable. Do you think if I spare you, the Farrell Kingdom will spare me? Fighting against a single kingdom, what is there to fear?"
Carlotta shot through the air at astonishing speed, rapidly closing in.
The overweight man had nowhere left to retreat. A vicious look flashed across his face. With a loud roar, countless bolts of lightning appeared around his body.
At the same time, he shouted, "Portland! Don’t run! Fight her with me! Together, we might still turn the tide!"
Hearing this, Portland hesitated, then charged forward.
"Boom!"
In the sky, lightning cracked and thunder roared. Cluster after cluster of electric light converged, forming an extremely thick bolt of lightning thatmed toward Carlotta. The intense aura reeked of destruction.
Carlotta’s gaze was sharp. With a clear cry, she swung her sword. The thick bolt of lightning was brutally split apart in the vast sky.
The sky filled with thunderbolts, yet Carlotta splitted them apart single-handedly.
At this moment, she was terrifyingly ferocious. After shattering the lightning, she charged forward again, scaring Portland into turning and fleeing at once. He had originally intended to come help, but this sight truly frightened him.
"Portland, don’t run! We still have a chance!"
The chubby man shouted in rage and desperation.
He believed the consumption of the Elven Symphony must be enormous. Carlotta had used it repeatedly; her magic power was probably nearly exhausted. If they could continue attacking and force Carlotta to use the Elven Symphony for defense once more, they could reverse the situation.
But Portland was too cowardly, actually turning and running away, ruining all his plans.
"Portland, aaaaaaaaaah!"
Carlotta rushed forward. A fierce sword beam slashed through, cutting down this peak tier Resonator midair.
At the moment of death, the person this chubby man hated most wasn’t even Carlotta, but Portland.
"Haaah!"
After cutting down the person before her, Carlotta exhaled deeply.
Her magic power had indeed been heavily consumed, but she wasn’t yet at her absolute limit. Even if Portland had stayed, it wouldn’t have changed anything. The Elven Symphony in her hands was far more powerful than these people imagined.
Because she specialized in Elven Knight Path, she could fuse numerous movements, something even elves from the Elven Homeland found difficult to accomplish. Thus, when finally unleashing the Elven Symphony, which combined all movements, her advantage was greater. The power she released far surpasses that of others or elves using the Elven Symphony.
"Whoosh!"
Carlotta flew across the sky, rapidly closing the distance with Portland. She had no intention of letting him go.
Portland’s flying speed wasn’t slow. He quickly crossed Swan Port, occasionally slashing sword energy behind him, wave after wave, attempting to hinder Carlotta’s approach.
But against such attacks, Carlotta didn’t even need to block. With a flutter of her Elven wings, she easily dodged aside, continuing to close in.
This chase through the sky drew millions of onlookers rushing over, eager to see the final outcome.
This caused people at other locations in Swan Port, who hadn’t been watching, to notice this aerial pursuit battle, immediately showing shocked expressions.
"What’s going on? A peak tier Resonator is fleeing, and a peak tier Listener is chasing? Did I see that right?"
Someone who had just arrived at Swan Port looked up and saw this scene, showing utter astonishment.
"That... that’s Portland Shepard? Isn’t he a Grand General? How come he’s being hunted? Who’s chasing him?"
Someone who recognized Portland looked up, his expression filled with horror.
"It’s Moon, Moon is chasing Portland."
"Moon? The Moon from Sky Island?"
Many people rushed over, watching the sky from afar, spreading news of the recent battle.
"It’s terrifying. Moon has killed Resonators. Several early tier and middle tier Resonators are already dead, plus one peak tier Resonator. Now she’s chasing Portland Shepard."
"No wonder she earned first place on Sky Island. Moon’s combat power is terrifying. She doesn’t seem like a Listener at all."
"Compared to her, all famous figures fade into insignificance."
"Actually, those geniuses do have some skill. Many of their achievements are genuine, shining like stars in the night sky. But compared to the Moon, their brilliance is indeed dim. Moon is the brightest star of them all."
Because of the suspension, many people were stranded in Swan Port. Numerous celebrities gathered here, creating a brief moment of clustered brilliance among stars.
But now, everyone clearly understood who the brightest star truly was.
Carlotta crossed the sky and finally caught up to Portland. Wielding her longsword Blue Sea, she slashed down a vast beam of sword light.
At this point, Portland could no longer evade. He raised his head and let out a long roar, swinging his own sword with all his skills condensed into that single strike. It seemed like if a battlefield appeared, countless battle cries gathered into that blow, colliding head-on with Carlotta’s attack.
"Boom!"
The sky explodes like thunder, stunning millions of people below into frozen stillness.
"Did... did I block it?"
Portland was knocked back some distance, a look of joy unconsciously appeared on his face.
But the next moment, Carlotta’s attack arrived once more.
"My ultimate move is basically an auto-attack. What? Is your ultimate move basically an auto-attack too?"
A mocking expression appeared on Carlotta’s face.
She swung her sword. Brilliant sword light erupted once more, dazzling to the point where people could barely open their eyes.
Portland had no choice but to swing his sword to block.
"Boom!"
Another thunder-like collision exploded across the sky. Many people nearby couldn’t help covering their ears, feeling their eardrums vibrate painfully, extremely uncomfortable.
"Has... has the winner been decided?"
Someone cried out in shock, staring at the sky.
A fierce sword beam slashed through. This time, Portland could no longer withstand the Elven Symphony. His sword was forcibly knocked flying from his hand, and he himself couldn’t escape. He was cut in half midair, blood splattering, his situation was exceptionally gruesome.
At this moment, everyone who witnessed the scene felt their scalps go numb, their entire bodies instinctively tensed, feeling what they saw was too terrifying.
That was a peak tier Resonator, and in the Farrel Kingdom, someone with considerable status. Yet he ended up perishing here like this?
Everyone understood this was absolutely a major incident. Once news of this event spread, the entire Farrel Kingdom will tremble three times. Resonators weren’t common cabbages, after all. Five of them dying in one breath, Farrel Kingdom couldn’t possibly stay indifferent.
Even the Carlisle Family from the distant Wendell Empire will move. Three of their members had also died here.
As for Carlotta, the one who started it all, she leisurely landed beside Portland’s corpse and searched his body.
’Got spatial item. Not bad.’
Carlotta found a pouch, a spatial item. Without carefully checking its contents, she took the pouch and Portland’s sword and left.
She quickly went to the other corpses to collect loot. During this process, no one dared to intervene.
Her ferocity had already been demonstrated in the previous battle. Naturally, no one would dare seek unnecessary trouble.
During this process, Carlotta was also pleasantly surprised, because she acquired several spatial items. It could be said that once someone reached the Resonator stage, spatial items weren’t exactly universal, but the possession rate greatly increased.
"It’s time to go to the Elven Homeland, to search for methods to further enhance the Elven Knight Path."
Finally, Carlotta deliberately said this sentence in front of people, then flew westward.
Only after leaving everyone’s sight did she descend, alter her appearance, and secretly return to Swan Port.
At this moment, Swan Port was already in an uproar.
