Ascari, holding a battle ax, was confronting the Puppet King.
As a Magic Knight ranked fourth in the KOK A-League, Ascari was also a Demon Person-level powerhouse.
Her ability was , which specifically meant that as long as her will was strong enough, she could defend against any attack and continuously become stronger with "regeneration enhancement."
It was only natural that the Puppet King would be in such a sorry state against such a troublesome opponent.
But even in such a sorry state, the Puppet King still had a relaxed expression on his face. But it was that kind of expression that made Ascari's aura unstable for a moment.
Just as she was about to raise her ax to continue attacking, Drake's hand pressed on her shoulder.
Drake looked at Ascari with a strange expression. This guy's aura was fluctuating too strongly.
He had forgotten to ask Ascari what kind of entanglement she had with the Puppet King before. Drake had felt her wavering when he had seen the Puppet King.
"Let me handle this next!"
Saying this, Drake directly passed Ascari, facing the Puppet King, saying, "Sorry to keep you waiting, but don't worry. The next battle won't waste too much time."
"Slaughter Rhapsody!"
The Puppet King didn't reply, instead directly launching an attack on Drake.
Drake's hand blade swept horizontally, several crystal-clear thin lines wrapping around Drake's arm, then being instantly burned to ashes by the flames.
That was the Puppet King's Device. Such tough and slender lines, if they were to cut over, wouldn't be inferior to the sharpest blade.
Even if you were wearing the strongest armor, you would be cut into pieces.
But unfortunately, these lines weren't enough to cut through Drake's defense.
The Puppet King didn't feel anything unexpected about this, saying loudly, As expected, you're despairingly strong!
But you're so strong, are you really going to bully a weak person like me? A glorious hero shouldn't bully the weak, right!
Drake stepped forward, approaching the Puppet King with towering flames.
"What a joke. Didn't you start this fight? You hurt my friends, touched my taboo. A guy like you is completely unforgivable!
And let me correct you on one point. I'm not a hero. Perhaps to a guy like you, I might be a demon!"
The Puppet King's pupils dilated. He discovered that he seemed to have misjudged the opponent he had provoked.
The other party was like an Asura from hell, his killing intent so cold. He wasn't the so-called hero that he had thought at all.
So he panicked. This guy, who seemed to be a collection of malice, revealed an unwatchable cowardly appearance.
"Deus ex Machina!"
The surrounding rubble and broken inorganic matter, even the ships that had been pushed up by the seawater, were drawn together, forming a giant that was more than ten stories high.
The giant swung its huge fist, smashing towards Drake, a large amount of debris falling with it.
Drake didn't stop his steps, spreading out his palm to meet the giant, flames gushing out, directly engulfing the entire giant.
With a bang, the giant exploded completely in the flames. Among the fragments that were falling like meteorites, Drake directly charged towards the Puppet King.
Drake's punch missed. The Puppet King had actually dodged this punch in advance, retreating into mid-air.
The Puppet King didn't have the ability to fly. The reason why he could fly was because his silk threads had already densely covered the surrounding area.
He had also been pulled by the silk threads just now to dodge Drake's attack, now standing on the silk threads in mid-air.
"I really don't understand. Is it with these little tricks that you have the courage to provoke me?"
Drake's voice was still ringing in the Puppet King's ears, but he saw that Drake had already come in front of him.
Blood mixed with teeth splattered out. The Puppet King, who had been punched in the cheek, was directly sent flying, crashing heavily on the ground before rolling out several times.
Drake didn't have the hobby of torturing others, but he didn't plan to let this guy have a quick exit.
The Puppet King got up, his face completely twisted, waving his hand to push another towards the attacking Drake.
"Didn't I say that these little tricks... are completely useless!"
Drake didn't attack at all, the flames wrapped around his body burning all of the sharp silk threads away.
Drake also approached the Puppet King, kicking him in the stomach, directly stomping him into the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge force directly pressed spider web-like cracks into the surrounding ground, not to mention the Puppet King, who had directly taken this kick.
His chest bones were broken into pieces, and judging from the color of the blood at the corner of his mouth, some of his internal organs had definitely been shattered as well.
But for a Demon Person, the body was constantly transforming into an inhuman form.
Although the Puppet King hadn't reached the point of Transcendence Awakening like the Desert Death God, this level of injury hadn't taken his life yet.
Drake even felt that the Puppet King was healing himself, and the method he was using was to sew up the damaged wounds with silk threads.
Moreover, that kind of sewing was at the cellular level, meaning that he could achieve complete healing.
But Drake wouldn't give him this chance, stomping down with force, directly breaking the Puppet King's newly healed ribs.
"You're quite durable, huh! But I wonder if you can continue to radiate malice after being burned to ashes!"
Having vented some of his anger, Drake planned to finish off the other party, but just then, Drake saw the Puppet King's mouth moving, saying a sentence that made people confused.
"Save... save... me, Sister!"
Someone like the Puppet King would actually call for help? Did he really expect someone to save a guy like him, who had to go to hell?
That's what Drake had thought at first, not expecting to immediately sense the abnormality of the aura behind him.
Before Drake could react, a heavy battle ax swept over. Drake only had time to raise his hand to block the ax blade, but he was still sent flying.
Drake retreated several steps, frowning, saying, "Ms. Ascari, let me confirm first. You're not being controlled, you betrayed us of your own will, right!"
It was Ascari, who was supposed to be his teammate, who had attacked Drake just now, jumping to the other side at a crucial moment to save the Puppet King.
Only now did Drake understand that Ascari's unstable aura wasn't because of anything else, but precisely because of the "Sister" that the Puppet King had said.
Who would have thought that Ascari, the star Blazer of the KOK A-ranked Alliance, was actually siblings with the notorious Puppet King in Rebellion.
Ascari didn't reply, only standing there, but her body still trembled slightly when she heard Drake say the word "betrayal."
The Puppet King stood up, relying on the time that Ascari had bought to heal some of his injuries.
Staggering to Ascari's side, he said with a smile, "I knew it. You would always protect me, Sister!"
Drake could clearly see Ascari's body trembling slightly, but the battle ax in her hand was still held very tightly.
Drake knew that there was no way to persuade Ascari now. She had already made her decision.
The Black Knight had now become the Puppet King's puppet, but what was controlling her wasn't Hellish Spider Silk, but a thread called family affection.
What a tragic and pitiful guy, Drake thought, looking at Ascari. He wouldn't blame the other party, because Ascari was just making what she thought was the right choice.
But she was standing in the position of Drake's enemy, and Drake wouldn't have any burden in defeating her.
But the Puppet King clearly didn't think so. Ascari's jump to the other side had greatly increased his confidence, saying with a provocative tone.
"Even you won't have it so easy facing the two of us Demon People at the same time, right!"
Drake said disdainfully, "Actually, one person is enough! But this time, I'm not alone."
"Sky-Burning Earth-Scorching Dragon King Flame!"
A scorching flame descended from the sky, directly forcing the Ascari siblings back. A girl descended from the sky, standing on the battlefield like a flame knight.
