"Hmm?" While treating Sabye, Dean Charlie, who had been very calm before, suddenly had a change of expression.

Seeing that the Warrior Chief, upon hearing the Dragon Taming Lady's call for "Yorkshire to come back," immediately stepped forward.

Initially, it was impossible for Yorkshire to return, as Dean Charlie firmly blocked Yorkshire's retreat path.

But now, this Frost Knight Commander of the Royal Court, after stepping forward, secured a very subtle and tricky position, securing a narrow retreat path for Yorkshire back to the side of the Dragon Taming Lady, the Flame Turtle, and Capella!

Previously, if the Warrior Chief was just being passive, now it was openly biased towards the Magic Guild.

There was a stance of forming a pincer attack with the Dragon Taming Lady, jointly suppressing Dean Charlie and others!

"You are being presumptuous!" Susan couldn't hold back any longer and said coldly, "Who gave you the courage? Where is your king? Where is the second lady... the Queen?"

The Warrior Chief didn't answer, as usual, with a smile, but his steps seemed rooted to the ground, not moving an inch.

Susan's eyes flashed with severity, she was about to say something more when her expression changed again.

She saw Andrew, who was confronting Yorkshire, tremble slightly, his face suddenly went very pale, and finally, he couldn't hold his standing posture and slowly kneeled on one knee!

"What... is going on now?"

Susan and Dean Charlie witnessed this scene, and their hearts couldn't help but sink.

On the other side, the Dragon Taming Lady couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile, "Success!!"

Initially, there seemed to be nothing abnormal, but suddenly people would slowly fall down—that was clearly the standard result after being hit by Yorkshire's "Earth Fire Pulse."

Yorkshire's "Earth Fire Pulse," even in the entire history of the Magic Guild, was a very unique existence.

Facing Yorkshire as an opponent, one must not treat him as a Fire Mage. Otherwise, one would be caught off guard and heavily injured or even killed outright.

Among the Saint Sons within the Magic Guild, Yorkshire, although only ranked last in third place, this is based on the premise that the first and second Saint Sons are well aware of Yorkshire's abilities.

When facing opponents outside the guild who are not familiar with Yorkshire, the combat power and effects Yorkshire can exhibit might be the strongest among the three Saint Sons!

"You can come back now, Yorkshire!"

The Dragon Taming Lady deliberately raised her voice and repeated, "What needs to be done is done, now you can retreat."

While speaking, the Dragon Taming Lady, the Flame Turtle, and the Frost Knight Commander exerted a strong aura to press against and suppress Dean Charlie and Susan, "I want to see who dares to stop the Saint Son of my Magic Guild!?"

As soon as the words fell, they heard a "thud" sound—

After Andrew kneeled, Yorkshire across from him swayed and then fell backward, his back of the head hitting the solid, cold tundra in front of the Royal Court hard!

Dragon Taming Lady: "?"

Seeing Yorkshire's hand was somehow already stained with blood. There was a blood hole in the palm!

But that wasn't the only wound.

After falling down, Yorkshire's shoulder clothes quickly became stained red.

The left side of his face, intertwined with sickness and handsomeness, looked as if it had been scraped by some violent force!

"..." Seeing this clearly, the Dragon Taming Lady was stunned.

The smug look of success in her plan was still on her face, but her eyes involuntarily widened.

Having lived till now, she was long past the age where she would feel embarrassed after being slapped in the face.

She just couldn't believe what she was seeing for a moment.

There were many people present.

Besides the opposing Warm Fire Commerce Association and Magic Guild in front of the Royal Court, there were also a large number of Frost Guards on the city wall.

With Yorkshire suddenly falling, many eyes finally turned to look.

Half-kneeling and conscious compared to falling unconscious, the winner and loser were obvious.

However, just like the Dragon Taming Lady, others present also found it incredibly unbelievable for a moment.

Not only the people from the Magic Guild but also the Frost Guards of the Royal Court and those already standing by Andrew: Dean Charlie, Susan, Barbara, and Havier, were all extremely surprised watching this scene: "Andrew actually... won against Yorkshire?! "

We must know that Andrew came to the Royal Court as one of the two-on-two duel candidates to team up with Barbara!

The negotiations have not yet started, and Andrew seems already to have won against Yorkshire one on one?

"This should count as... a win."

Andrew, half-kneeling at this moment, only felt dizzy and his vision blurred.

He looked toward Yorkshire, who had already fallen unconscious, thinking that indeed, there is no such thing as an easy battle in this world...

To be honest, after just piercing Yorkshire's palm with one finger, Andrew really thought the battle was over.

Amidst the surprise, there was inevitably some complacency and carelessness.

Until he saw: after a brief daze, Yorkshire, whose palm had been pierced, finally reacted. But what surged madly in Yorkshire's eyes was not pain, but... fury.

Unable to accept being wounded as a Saint Son, Yorkshire's eyes and expression instantly became extremely terrifying.

Despite the pain, he not only didn't retreat but instead closed the fingers of the pierced palm to grasp Andrew's fist tightly!

At the same time, an even stronger and previously absent rage-infused "Earth Fire Pulse" surged up Andrew's arm, attacking Andrew's heart and all the internal organs in his chest and abdomen again!

"Holy crap... so fierce?!"

Andrew never expected that Yorkshire, after losing a round, would immediately launch an even fiercer second wave of attack.

With a cracking sound, Andrew felt that his finger, which had pierced through the palm of his opponent, was instead bent to the point of a slight fracture by the opponent!

Yorkshire, enraged by the injury, seemed like a different person or perhaps, this was the real him.

"This guy, using a pierced hand to break my finger, doesn't he feel pain?" For the first time, Andrew focused on Yorkshire as a person, rather than his abilities.

Afterwards, a ruthless glint also flashed in Andrew's eyes.

He was angry too!

Gritting his teeth, Andrew ignored his fractured finger and instead lifted his other hand, poking at the opponent's shoulder.

Using the Counterattack Technique again.

Yorkshire was injured once more, a flash of pain in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even more frenzied fury. In fact, after being injured, the usually talkative Yorkshire became silent, his lips pressed tightly together like a perfectly sealed line!

He shifted his shoulders, once more "locking" Andrew's finger inserted in his shoulder with bones and flesh.

Thus controlling both of Andrew's hands with his palm and shoulder simultaneously, Yorkshire's face turned pale with pain, but his actions didn't stop. With a grim smile, he slammed his head forward at Andrew!

Andrew's eyes flickered, still using the secret technique of the Counterattack Technique, waiting calmly for the opponent's head to smash over before suddenly opening his mouth, exhaling a breath like an invisible storm rushing forward, containing no magic but filled with nearly violent Whole Power.

It was a return to basics, a Magic Breath!

The reason for such a response was because Yorkshire's Earth Fire Pulse, to some degree, was a type of magic fluctuation. If one were to counter it with relatively complex magic, it might not keep up with the rhythm. So Andrew chose to fight fire with fire, using a Magic Breath similar to Earth Fire Pulse to counter it!

Whoosh! Yorkshire tilted his head to dodge, then continued forward, his forehead hitting Andrew's forehead.

Although Yorkshire hit Andrew, he couldn't completely avoid Andrew's near-distance Magic Breath. Just having that Magic Breath brush past one side of his face made Yorkshire's once handsome and smooth face seem as if it had been scraped by countless tiny blades!

—While Dean Charlie and others were fighting with imposing momentum, with magical energy splashing around, Andrew and Yorkshire, on their side, were actually engaged in such close-quarter brawling!

Yes, close-quarter brawling.

This manner of duel, at least on the surface, didn't seem like a fight between two mages.

But this is battle.

This is battle!

Genuine life-and-death struggle often looks like this. Whether warriors or magic professionals, it's often like this. Especially when both sides are already at point-blank range!

Because of the presence of Invisible Enchantment, Andrew's strikes were silent, intangible, and traceless.

Yorkshire was originally a chatterbox, but after being injured, he stopped talking; his Earth Fire Pulse was also an invisible type of attack.

So this duel between the two turned into a silent brawl.

Were it not so, it wouldn't have drawn the attention of those present until the outcome was reached.

"Damn, this Third Saint Son Yorkshire, does he care for his life when fighting?"

Andrew, hit by Yorkshire's Earth Fire Pulse-infused headbutt, staggered, kneeling halfway down.

This was exactly when Lady Dragon Tamer thought Yorkshire had succeeded.

At this time, although Yorkshire was still standing, his eyes were fixed on Andrew, almost spitting fire!

Because only he and Andrew knew, at this point, the actual victor had been decided between them.

The final determinant of victory wasn't Andrew's finger piercing the palm, nor the poke on the shoulder, or even that Magic Breath.

It was the head-to-head collision.

At the moment of impact, Andrew used a technique in the Counterattack Technique called "Unwelcoming Strike" —

To put it simply, it's like during a pushing game, after a few hard clashes, suddenly withdrawing force.

Plus, as a Magic Lord, when Andrew entered the Whole Power State, his own power connected through the Gate of Enlightenment, linking with the vast regions of Wildfire Territory, Inner Sea Desert, and large areas in the eastern world covered by commerce cooperation.

Equating to carrying a huge "depth" with him!

Blinded by rage, Yorkshire headbutted Andrew with full force.

What was thought to be a hard-to-hard confrontation, like the silent clashes of the prior three rounds.

The result was: nothing but emptiness!

The violent Earth Fire Pulse obviously struck Andrew's forehead, yet Yorkshire felt his strength as if it had bombarded into a vast piece of earth, unbearably uncomfortable and with a sudden misdirection of force.

Just hearing a crunch.

Yorkshire, smashing his head into Andrew's, ended up straining his own neck!

Simultaneously, his magic power was thrown into complete chaos.

Amidst the chaos, a runaway Earth Fire Pulse, like an untamed horse, slammed viciously into his own heart.

This was the blow that truly decided the victor between them!

"Damn..."

Yorkshire, amid anger, unwillingness, defiance, and a trace of bewilderment, toppled over and lost consciousness.

Andrew shook his head, slowly struggling back up from a half-kneeling position.
