Celestia glanced at Li Xin and found he didn't object either, "This is Simmons' own battle. By deciding not to use a proxy, he's already willing to accept any outcome."

A slight smile appeared on Achilles' lips. He also thought everything Simmons did was to make Avogadro his duel proxy. Honestly, he wouldn't have been able to refuse; Li Xin might not qualify, but Avogadro definitely did. Plus, his father now needed the George Family at the forefront, so both emotionally and logically, he could only agree. But to him, Simmons was just someone who played small tricks, not a true Knight.

The reason a Knight is a Knight is because they have courage.

Roar~~~

Simmons did not sit and wait for death. He forcibly suppressed his boiling blood and swung his Greatsword. However, Didia easily dodged, "You're no match for me. If you're willing to concede, I can spare your life. You know I'm different from Anthony; I can't erase a family's efforts and dignity for one person."

Simmons smiled, using the Greatsword to prop himself up, "How do you know it's just one person? Or maybe only you're left, or even you're not left at all?"

Didia's eyes became sharp, also touching his own sore point. Anthony alone couldn't represent the Nasser Clan, but now everyone pinned those sins, even the Hunting Enjoyment Club, on the Nasser Clan.

Didia said no more, his silver spear repeatedly striking towards Simmons. Simmons propped up the Shield of Glory, constantly defending. With each tremor, his body would be bombarded by the Thunder Power radiating through, already blood-covered, but Simmons grinned with bared teeth.

Boom…

Boom…

Each retreat cracked the ground, leaving a bloody mark. Though nearly collapsing and susceptible to being blasted to death at any time, Simmons stood up resolutely. Didia saw in his opponent the spirit and determination.

"Since you are so bent on dying, I'll send you off with my strongest blow," Didia said solemnly, accompanied by a muffled boom.

Blood Burning, the Thunder Power extended along the silver spear throughout his body. The spear expanded away, the spearhead condensing a cerulean orb.

Simmons wiped his face hard, his left hand holding up the Shield of Glory, and his right gripping the Greatsword. He was waiting for an opportunity; now was the time.

Just then, Didia's left hand suddenly spread and grasped, lightning bloomed—Thunderlight Thousand Strikes!

Bolts of thunder rained down sweeping towards Simmons, and as he was being struck by the lighting, Didia's spear struck like a dragon, charging full force at Simmons.

Simmons' prepared counterattack fell short; the constant lightning assault forced him to abandon the Greatsword and switch fully to defense, and at this moment Didia's deadly thunder spear arrived, the only way out.

Divine Flash!

Simmons' form vanished, however Didia almost simultaneously disappeared as well, having not only anticipated Simmons' intention but also predicted his location, capturing Simmons' Divine Flash with his own, appearing just a bit above him, a spear aimed unwaveringly at Simmons, while Simmons ridiculously attempted to draw the Hex-Tech Gun strapped to his waist.

Thunder Strike—Wolf Fang!

No escape, Simmons had used all his trump cards, he wanted to end it all.

Yet at this moment, though Simmons was in a miserable state, his eyes became exceptionally clear, hand on his waist merely as a decoy, for he knew Didia would definitely notice. He wanted his opponent to fully relax, only when one's opponent thinks you've used up all your trump cards and underestimates you, is there a sliver of opportunity, now indeed he had nowhere to dodge.

Boom…

Blood Burning, his heart pounded like a piling machine, rapidly boom boom boom, Simmons' left eye was crimson, but his right eye transformed into a deep, ghostly view.

Thunderlight erupted from Simmons' body, the Shield of Glory engulfed in thunderlight, posed with his most uncomfortable counter-skill, but this time it was different.

——Thunder Counter!

The two thunder powers collided, accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire base trembling, dreadful spiritual energy exploding, walls bursting, glass shattering into pieces, lightning bursting.

Li Xin and Achilles had to reach out and shield themselves a bit, not out of fear, but the flying debris and lightning were enough to penetrate Celestia. The Curse Master and other supernatural professions were more suited for support or specific scenarios, unable to involve themselves in direct combat.

The explosion also caused chaos among the crowd outside, the unleashed power knocked down a large swath of people.

The base was now in ruins, two people lying on the ground. From the start of the battle, a move hadn't landed on Didia, who was also lying there, covered in blood, and Simmons was even more miserable, truly not a part of him was unharmed, lying on the ground motionless.

After returning yesterday, Simmons discovered his supernatural abilities had awakened. Rationally, he should lay low and develop properly, he's not someone who acts recklessly. But now, though it's not enough to say there was a chance of winning, there was at least a possibility to fight.

Doing things only when they're assured, well, then nothing ever gets done.

Achilles and Li Xin did not move, Celestia already rushed to Simmons crying, although she daily expressed disdain for this cousin, in the family the one who cared most for Simmons was her.

"Having a sister is nice, huh." Achilles said with a smile.

"Yes." Li Xin nodded, he missed Little Xueyin. He was very adept at hiding his emotions, but sometimes in the Underground City, he would feel down, and it was then that Xueyin would always share her cherished items with him. Whether it was Xueyin's care or admiration, they were the light of the Underground City.

"I mean I have one," Achilles added.

"I mean I have one too," Li Xin replied. They exchanged a glance, neither conceding to the other, insinuating that neither's sister could compare to their own.

"How should we count this?" Achilles looked at the two fallen people.

"You're the prince, you decide."

"This is fair Moncalleta, how about we call this a draw?"

"Fair." Li Xin nodded his head.

"Haha, very well, I'll catch up with you later." Achilles smiled contentedly, then walked towards the door, pushed open the damaged door, and a broken piece almost fell on the clean and tidy Prince, but the Prince, being swift, elegantly turned to stand in front of everyone.

Outside the door, countless people were eagerly waiting, the Prince was as carefree and sunny as ever, "The battle is over, I now declare, Simmons and Didia's duel, a draw."

A draw?

Feeling the powerful Thunder Power, the people from Saint Grace Canon Law School were in despair, if it's this terrifying from so far away, what would it be like to be inside, only to be shattered to pieces. But what?

A draw???

Saint Grace Canon Law School was in an uproar, although it wasn't a victory, what does a draw mean, their captain tied with the strongest from Divine Knight Academy, it's practically the same as winning, now let's see who dares to look down on the Canon Law School, Lancerock and others rushed in, the palace guards at the door did not stop them.

The group of knights' nobles at the front were not satisfied, if Achilles hadn't been there, they would have erupted long ago, many people saw through the door crack that both of them were lying on the ground.

Didia that useless?

They went in too, Didia had already sat up, leaning against the wall, looking at the other side where Simmons, who was just barely breathing, had been saved, looking somewhat dazed, before he could catch his breath, a dozen noble knights from the academy crowded around.

"Didia, what's going on, how could that waste beat you, it's impossible for a draw with him using only one hand!"

"Yeah, you're not throwing the match, are you, this concerns the honor of the Nasser Clan."

The crowd was chatter, faces filled with considerable displeasure, they were here to support Didia, because they expected Didia to win, now they're a joke.

Didia remained expressionless, "He awakened Thunder Power, obtained the heterochromatic Eye of Inquiry."

The crowd was stunned, what the hell???

Heterochromatic eyes, also known as dichromia, means possessing two awakened powers, previously, Simmons had enhancement, now there's another, damn, wasn't this kid said to be a waste?

The rest came along for the ride, lending a hand to bully the weak. With Nasser's current status as a target, plus Didia's loss now, could it be Nasser Clan's days are numbered?

Suddenly everyone looked at each other, "Haha, winning or losing a match is nothing, Didia, we're heading back."

"Yeah, take care of your injuries."

The crowd left quickly, they came fast and left faster, in a moment Didia was left alone, he didn't have Divine Knight Academy people come either, win or lose, neither was worth bragging about for him.

"Haha, didn't expect Didia to be such a loser."

"Looking at Anthony, it's obvious, every time there's a pretty girl he has to take the lead, but can't handle anything serious, Didia's the same, all Nasser's are trash, pillars of the nation, they're finished."

"Let's gather everyone tonight, have a good time."

"If Nasser's finished, it's good, an open spot, maybe everyone has a chance."

The sound reached Didia even before people left far, making Didia's face paler, wiping the blood off his face.

Li Xin walked over, "Didn't you bring anyone, want me to call a carriage for you?"

"No need." Maybe feeling a little loud, "Thanks."

Li Xin smiled and shook his head, not saying more, Achilles had also finished showing off and returned, two guards helped Didia up, "I'll take him back."

On the other side, when Celestia woke Simmons up, Simmons mocked her, meaning that bastard wouldn't die, now restored to being aloof, but Lancerock and others were howling excitedly, they're going to be famous, their leader tied with Didia fifty-fifty, this wasn't just a spar, it was a duel, it was loaded with value.

"Stop shaking, are you trying to usurp?" Simmons said.

Lancer quickly stopped, "Haha, boss, too excited, how did you do it, paid Didia how much, no wait, you're not as rich as him."

"Simmons awakened Thunder Power, he's now a one-in-a-million heterochromatic knight!" Celestia's tone was very calm but her pout revealed her pride.

Lancer and others immediately cheered, "Haha, boss, from the first time I saw you I felt you were extraordinary, finally achieved great success." Little Red Roll Rock said with a chuckle.

Simmons rolled his eyes at them, what kind of people are these.
