298,

Daniel is willing to let Cyclone go, but Sonja is not.

She turned around and pointed her sword at Cyclone's neck.

"You just said..."

The sword trembled.

"You are Allen's hero..."

While Sonja was still talking, the sword moved back slightly and Cyclone quietly extended his hand forward.

Only a fool would listen to the opponent's words before taking action. Cyclone reached out his hand and it disappeared into the black sphere.

The sensation of touching those black wriggling things was like touching many small pieces of mud combined together.

It was cold and disgusting.

But Yuna was inside.

It's just mud, and I can go in. Pushing through it, pulling Yuna out from the center.

However, before Cyclone could do anything, a sudden attack came from the front.

Sonja had moved her sword back slightly to switch to a different angle. She swung her sword and smacked Cyclone in the stomach.

With the force of the attack, Sonja's sword lifted Cyclone up, and the immense power pushed Cyclone away.

Just like a ball, Cyclone was knocked away by Sonja's sword.

In an instant, Cyclone flew dozens of meters away.

When he landed, he rolled on the ground a few times and had bruises all over his body. Finally, he lay flat on the ground.

Enduring the pain in his limbs, Cyclone stood up again.

Looking ahead, he saw Daniel's helpless expression and Sonja, who had taken two steps forward.

I can't stop her, huh, Cyclone thought, rolling his eyes.

Damn it, Daniel! Well done!

Yes, even though Daniel allowed Cyclone to pass, it was his personal decision. Sonja also had her own thoughts.

"Daniel, I don't know what you're thinking, but..." Sonja stood in front of Daniel, ignoring everything else and only looking at Cyclone.

"No matter what, I will not let Allen's hero be tainted by darkness anymore!"

Cyclone and Sonja were thirty meters apart.

A strong wind blew, and at the same time, Cyclone glanced at Daniel.

As Daniel was about to take a step forward, Sonja spoke up first.

"Don't interfere!"

After being spoken to like that, Daniel stepped back again.

"Cyclone, my friend!" Daniel shouted from behind Sonja.

"I can only be a spectator, sorry~ I have things to do, and from now on, you're on your own~"

"Damn it! You call yourself a good person!"

Another gust of wind blew, and the sound seemed to be unable to reach them anymore.

It seemed that Sonja's wind was intentionally preventing Daniel's words from reaching Cyclone.

But it was too late. His earlier words had already revealed Daniel's position.

He wouldn't interfere; in other words, Daniel wouldn't even help Sonja.

Only Cyclone and Sonja, one-on-one situation.

Cyclone sighed, lamenting that sometimes women cannot be communicated with through words.

Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred.

Coming from behind Cyclone, on the other side of the forest, far away.

But without looking back, Cyclone already knew that things were going on fiercely on Asmod's side.

They couldn't drag it out any longer. The longer they waited, the more unfavorable factors would arise.

Regardless of whether Asmod committed suicide or not, if Yuna also died in this dark sphere, or if she chose to commit suicide or be killed before Cyclone convinced her to believe in herself, then everything done before would become meaningless.

There was no other choice. Cyclone took a look at the ground and picked up the only tree branch beside his foot.

It was about half a meter long and had average hardness.

Although it could be used as a sword, when facing a real sword...

"Really, when Little Dragon taught me swordsmanship, I should have taken it more seriously..."

Cyclone chuckled at himself and then looked back at Sonja.

"Yeah!!!! I am Allen's hero! Now, let me show you..."

After taking a deep breath, as the air filled his lungs, Cyclone gathered all his strength in his feet.

"This is my true power!!!!!!!"

With the tree branch tightly gripped in his right hand, Cyclone charged towards Sonja.
