As for the giants, they were able to defend against this man for some time, but the other two Exalted Humans on Axelor's team would come to help this newcomer whenever he went up against one.

Against three Exalted Humans, even a giant was powerless, and had no option but to take injuries and fall.

Of course, as the giants were crowd favorites, many had howled with grief at this, but they were only met with more blood.

Indeed, blood filled the ground, and by the end of the match, it looked like a battlefield where many might have lost their lives.

"King Daneel!"

Coming back from his thoughts due to this shout from Queen Arafell, Daneel shook his head and looked up to see those pretty eyes now filled with rage looking at him.

He was just about to say something, but her words cut him off.

"I don't know what you do, but Axelor MUST LOSE. I know you are probably entering the match, and if you are, I need you to promise me that you will do to that man what he did to my soldiers. Promise me this, or I CANNOT let this matter rest."

Her beautiful hair was disheveled, and her rosy cheeks were red as a testament to her anger.

Without even thinking, Daneel nodded and teleported away.

There was no way that he was going to allow the same fate to befall his own soldiers, and to stop that, he would have to fulfill this promise anyway.

...

DING

As the bell rung to signal the start of the finals of the Fighter Handball Tournament, Daneel looked up at the stands to see almost half the people rooting for another b.l.o.o.d.y match while the other half were hoping that the Axelorians would be taken down.

Now, he understood why gladiator arenas were so popular in the ancient eras of Earth. Blood did drive people mad with excitement, and hearing the cheering that now had an added edge of bloodthirstiness, he cursed the Axelorians.

The rules had to be changed.

But before that, Daneel had to do something which he didn't like at all.

Same as before, the Axelorian team got out of the way of the tall masked man who started to run towards the end.

However, as the crowd watched with baffled expressions, the Lanthanorian team also got out of the way, leaving two men alone on the ground in the way of this monstrosity.

One of them was the star who had given that incredible performance against Axelor before, while the other seemed new.

However, when both of them looked into each other's eyes just before they came under the attack of the Exalted Human who had terrorized the Arafellians, some smart people in the spectators understood that this wasn't the first time they were working together.

The Axelorian's forte was both strength and speed, but they were both firmly put under control by the two Lanthanorians who worked seamlessly in sync with each other, almost as if they had trained together and also knew each other so well that they could predict the other's moves.

Of course, those who thought so would be right.

Daneel and Elanev had been training together, but they couldn't have imagined that they would be going up against the same opponent.

The training turned out to be a boon, as their repeated spars against each other made it so that they understood each other very well.

Daneel was a true blue Exalted Human, while Elanev had also used some method to elevate his power to this level.

He had said that it was only for a short amount of time, and Daneel was determined to a.n.a.lyze it using the system.

If the Axelorian attacked one, the other would hit it with the Hidden Kill Fist and make it bleed.

As the Hidden Kill Fist worked by using pressure to rupture ones internal structure, it was very effective even if one had strengthened skin due to being an Exalted Human.

When the other dodged, the first one would attack.

Of course, the dodging wasn't perfect, so the Lanthanorians also kept taking punches and kicks, but they continued to fight as if they felt no pain.

In just 30 seconds, all three of them had b.l.o.o.d.y arms.

After one minute, the Axelorian's entire body was dripping with blood, as if he had just taken a bath in a river filled with it.

After one and a half minute, the Lanthanorian who had appeared in the match before took a kick to his stomach and fell.

He didn't get up again, and this made the first Lanthanorian even more enraged.

He ignored the damage to his body, and fought while getting bloodier and bloodier.

After two minutes, both of them were such a b.l.o.o.d.y mess that only the difference in height could be used to distinguish them.

Such a gory sight even turned off many of those who had clamored for blood before, and the entire stadium could only watch in silence.

"My King! Do we interfere and help?"

"NO! He will only end up hurting us too! Just score as many points as possible!"

This dialogue pa.s.sed between the King of Axelor and his commander, and they focused on scoring more while the opposing team only had one Exalted Human, the commander of Lanthanor.

After the two and a half minute mark, the Axelorian fell to the ground, but both of his arms were in the hands of the Lanthanorian.

While the Axelorian bled profusely from the two stumps where his arms had been, the Lanthanorian fell to his knees, still holding the two limbs.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

He screamed to the heavens, and the shout even silenced the millions who were watching.

He looked like he would break down, but the man somehow found the energy to put what he felt aside.

Throwing away the arms, he rejoined the game.

Going up against a team which also had two Exalted Humans, the Axelorians didn't stand a chance against Lanthanor's teamwork which had almost reached legendary status by now.

Even though he was injured, the soldier from Lanthanor did his bit, and his face was engraved into the hearts of all those watching.

As the bell sounded to indicate the end of the match, the crowd burst into a cheer louder than all the ones before.

38(Lanthanor)-20(Axelor).

"LAN-THNOR!"

"LAN-THNOR!"

"LAN-THA…
