Chapter 528: Chapter 146: Victory Belongs to Saturday!

At that moment, Earth Bear could no longer care about anything else and started furiously ripping off the armor he was wearing.

The armor, incredibly sturdy in defense, was not easy to take off; without help, it would be difficult to remove swiftly.

However, fueled by his immense strength and with a roar of rage, Earth Bear managed to tear the leather that held the scale armor together, also ripping off a large piece of skin from his chest.

The intense pain made Earth Bear even more frenzied, but it sped up his actions. He tore off the pieces one by one, along with the flames that seemed impossible to extinguish, which grew smaller and smaller.

It was only after Earth Bear had removed his boots and stood barefoot in the Duel Arena that the flames on his body finally went out.

And now, his appearance had become as terrifying as possible.

Having lost an eye and with burns all over his body, his hair also scorched off, he still stood there unwavering.

As if he would never fall.

Anyone who witnessed this shocking scene could only think one thing, that no one in this world could defeat the man before them.

Just then, another loud bang rang out!

The next moment, a burst of blood exploded from Earth Bear’s chest.

Before anyone could recover, Lady had already discarded her dueling pistol and drawn a second one, stepping swiftly towards Earth Bear.

The second bullet also hit Earth Bear squarely in the chest.

Ireya then discarded the spent pistol, switching to a third.

While Earth Bear was removing his armor, the lady had not been idle, having retrieved her guns and reloaded them.

Now, Ireya was also fueled by anger. She had been choked twice, lifted off the ground, and had nearly lost her life—a humiliation Miss Rabbit had never suffered before.

She had even forgotten her fear, fixating solely on her opponent, while Earth Bear was also staring at the Lady.

Their gazes revealed an undisguised mutual intent to kill.

Miss Rabbit took another step forward, now less than three steps away from Earth Bear.

At this distance, with Lady’s marksmanship, missing was practically impossible.

And Lady’s third gun was almost pressed against Earth Bear’s chest.

The girl harshly pulled the trigger, and the Hand of Judgment roared!

Amidst smoke and fire, a third small wound opened on Earth Bear’s body, right over his heart!

Yet, as if impervious to pain, Earth Bear, seeing Ireya approaching closer and closer, revealed a sinister smile.

He took a half step forward with his left foot, seemingly intending once again to grasp the Lady by the throat.

Earth Bear was confident that if he could grab the girl again, he would not let her escape this time.

But he had only taken half a step forward when his body was no longer under his control. The Earth Bear’s eyes widened, its remaining pupil seemingly filled with confusion and incomprehension.

Unfortunately, he could no longer seek the answers, for his heart had stopped beating.

Ireya was the first to notice something was wrong with the Earth Bear, but she was furious and didn’t think much of it; besides, the Earth Bear had a history of feigning death, having once survived a gunshot to the head.

To prevent him from feigning death again, the Lady drew her Flintlock Axe, pressed it against his chin, and fired a shot. Then seeing the Earth Bear falling backward, she swung the axe and charged forward.

She chopped down towards the Earth Bear’s neck, but the axe got stuck in the vertebrae. Ireya, standing on the Earth Bear’s cheek, used both hands to pull the axe out, then swung it down again.

She chopped repeatedly, more than a dozen times, before she finally severed the Earth Bear’s head.

Since there were no referees left in the Duel Arena, no one stopped her.

Even if there had been a referee, at that moment, he would probably have been as stunned as the spectators around.

Everyone watched as the Lady continuously swung her war axe, splattering pieces of flesh and blood plasma; her own face and body were also covered in fresh blood.

Only when she was sure that the Earth Bear was decidedly dead did the Lady sit down on the ground, gasping for fresh air.

At that moment, the spectator stands were completely silent; the scene had been so bloody and violent that it took a very long time before anyone made a sound.

Finally, a newly arrived referee was the first to speak, announcing, "The winner of this duel is Ireya from Green Field!"

With his words, cheers slowly began to resonate around, although many were still in disbelief that the seemingly slender girl had truly defeated that formidable, invincible figure.

But the headless corpse of the Earth Bear was undeniable evidence.

Likewise, the spectators then saw the girl get up unsteadily, raise the war axe in her hand with all her strength, and shout, "Victory belongs to the House of Arias, to Saturday!"

When Ireya shouted the latter part, it was not mere courtesy, but a genuine outpouring of emotion.

If it weren’t for the Hand of Judgment crafted by Ge Lipeng and the incendiary and smoke bombs given by Li Yu, she could not have won so many duels, let alone survived the clutches of the Earth Bear and achieved this incredible reversal.

As she shouted, the followers of the Double Rest Sect were the first to erupt, shouting the name of Saturday’s God; this fervent atmosphere infected the onlookers around them.

No matter which God they had previously worshiped, they had to acknowledge the power of Saturday at that moment, feeling a sense of awe towards this mysterious foreign deity.

Those who previously had no faith or whose faith was not firm developed an infinite longing for Saturday.

At that time, Li Yu was still sleeping, his fifty cubits resting on the bedside table, so he did not see his follower count rapidly increasing.

But when he woke up the next morning, he was sure to be surprised by the numbers displayed there.

However, the mood for the other party involved in this battle was not so wonderful.

The Priest of Cornelia had quietly left the stands after witnessing the Earth Bear fall for the second time.

Edward II, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased, continually waving his fist and urging the wine pourer behind him to refill his cup, all while cursing continuously, causing Queen Heloise beside him to frown.

But Edward II did not care at all, and downed the newly refilled cup of fine wine in one go.
