Chapter 1090 Both Sides Suffer Losses
Chapter 1090 Both Sides Suffer Losses
"Crack, click, click!"
Just as the Pope was working hard to help Moses and the others fend off the flying sand and stones, Qin Zhong and King Arthur, amidst a series of soft cracking sounds as their bones broke, were sent flying backward like cannonballs, crashing heavily to the ground.
At the same time, along with them, King Arthur's crystal greatsword and half of a sharp silver spearhead were also sent flying backward.
These two powerful figures, despite their combined strength, ended up suffering heavy losses in a single, all-out attack.
"Father!"
"Master, my husband!"
"Your Highness King Arthur!"
The final outcome of the battle stunned everyone present. No one expected that in just a few seconds, the two peak human experts would end up with both of them severely injured.
Seeing the two people lying motionless on the ground, separated by a great distance, and the crystal greatsword and half a broken spear stuck in the ground between them, the Pope, the four knights, and Moses all leaped up and rushed towards the two.
"Ahem, His Highness King Arthur's fighting prowess is indeed formidable!" However, just as the Pope and the others rushed to his side, Qin Chong coughed a few times and struggled to sit up.
Although he had broken almost nine-tenths of his bones in the attack, his regenerative abilities and metal-mimicking superpower allowed him to recover most of his injuries in the few seconds it took for the Pope and the others to defend against the flying sand.
Now, although we can't fight at full strength, we can move around normally without any problems.
"Phew, young man, your fighting ability is much stronger than this old man's!"
Unlike Qin Zhong, King Arthur remained lying motionless on the ground. After this heavy blow, his heavy alloy armor had cracked and shattered, scattered all over the ground.
Even with the protection of his armor, King Arthur can only maintain his composure and remain conscious; moving is impossible for him, given that most of his bones are broken.
Moreover, as time went by, his injuries continued to worsen, and even his consciousness quickly became blurred.
"Father!"
"Your Highness King Arthur!"
Upon seeing King Arthur lying motionless on the ground, Moses and the four knights rushed to his side to help him up.
But at that moment, the Pope stopped them, saying in a solemn tone, "Do not touch him. Most of his bones are broken. If you move him, you will only make his injuries worse."
"What should we do then, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Upon hearing the Pope's words, Moses and the four knights, whose hands were halfway outstretched, froze as if under a spell, not daring to touch King Arthur.
Looking at the Pope whose eyes were emitting a faint white light, Moses pleaded with a worried expression, "Your Holiness, you are the head of the Holy See, surely you have a way to save my father, right?"
“I have no choice…”
Hearing Mercer's plea, the Pope shook his head solemnly and said in a dejected tone, "According to my observation with the Eye of True Sight, your father's condition is very bad. Not only are most of his bones broken, but his meridians and muscles are also damaged everywhere. The power of that attack just now was too great. I cannot heal such injuries."
"What do we do! What do we do?!"
Upon hearing the Pope's words, Moses and the others panicked. If even His Holiness the Pope couldn't heal his injuries, were they just supposed to watch King Arthur suffer like a lump of mud, wishing he were dead?
……
"No need to rush, this should be able to save him!" Just then, Qin Zhong struggled to his feet and slowly walked over from a distance.
The next moment, Qin Zhong absorbed the broken spear into his body and picked up the crystal greatsword from the ground, saying, "This sword contains extremely strong life force. As long as King Arthur holds it, his injuries will heal quickly."
"Then hurry up and give it to him!" Upon hearing Qin Zhong's words, Messer's face lit up with joy. Without saying anything else, she immediately pulled Qin Zhong over.
Seeing Moses' worried expression and the knights' angry eyes, Qin Zhong gave a helpless bitter smile and placed the crystal greatsword in King Arthur's hands.
As the crystal greatsword was placed in King Arthur's hands, bursts of dazzling five-colored light began to flow within the sword. Ultimately, this five-colored light transformed into pure blue life force, which flowed into King Arthur's body.
As the light continued to flash, a soft sound came from inside King Arthur's body, and his eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened, revealing a pair of vibrant and confident pupils.
"Heh heh, young man, I've lost!" King Arthur's first words after opening his eyes again stunned everyone present.
As everyone knows, King Arthur was a very competitive man, and Qin Zhong seems to be the first person who could make him willingly admit defeat.
It's important to understand that even though Captain America was stronger than King Arthur, he never submitted to Captain America because he didn't believe that he, with the Sword in the Stone, would be no match for Captain America.
Today, this seemingly young man from the East, barely in his twenties, single-handedly defeated him, the one wielding the sword in the stone. This result left King Arthur with a sense of defeat.
It's true, a new generation surpasses the old.
It was precisely because of this sentiment that King Arthur uttered the words above, and these were his true feelings.
"Your Highness King Arthur, you did not lose. In the end, we both lost our fighting ability. Shouldn't it be considered a draw?"
Upon hearing King Arthur's words, Qin Zhong smiled modestly and said, "To be honest, I did take a shortcut. If our battlefield wasn't in the desert, my combat strength might not have been this strong."
"Haha, Qin, a victory is a victory, and a loss is a loss. Do you think I can't even let go of this kind of win or loss?"
Hearing Qin Zhong's words of comfort, King Arthur laughed heartily, stood up with his crystal sword, and said with a face full of satisfaction, "You used the environment here, but haven't I also used the sword in the stone? So, don't be modest. I'm only happy that you defeated me, because it means that my daughter has good taste and has found a better man than her father, hahaha!"
"Father!"
"Your Highness King Arthur!"
Upon hearing King Arthur's words, both Qin Zhong and Moses blushed. King Arthur's words undoubtedly confirmed Qin Zhong's identity, and thinking of this, Qin Zhong's headache returned.
How should I explain this to my parents when I go back this time?
Are you suggesting we just say that our son went to Country M and brought back a princess, and that you two are now going to become in-laws with King Arthur of Country Y?
Wouldn't my parents go crazy if I said that? Or maybe they'd give me a good beating?
