474,

The battle lasted only for a moment. In the instant Cyclone was kicked, everyone exchanged a few moves. Some successfully blocked them, while others missed the opportunity to evade due to the intervention of companions or enemies.

Take the female team member who died just now, for example. Although not the weakest in ability, she unfortunately stood right next to the team leader. In order to break the formation just now, the team leader dodged Cyclone's attack, leaving numerous vulnerabilities on himself, using that female team member's body to block a fatal blow for himself.

Simultaneously, this block opened up a new path. It allowed another team member to successfully strike, landing a palm strike on Frans who was protecting Eileen. Frans took a blow to the head, spitting out blood on the spot before collapsing. The wintry breath escaping Frans' lips indicated that he was not yet dead, just unconscious.

With one dead and one injured, both individuals retreated. At this moment, Cyclone deeply realized that the structure of this formation far exceeded his understanding. If they were to go at it again, it could indeed bring new opportunities for Yuna and the others, but at the same time, it would also provide the enemy with a chance to turn the tables.

"Let's go again!" Alexander shouted.

"Yes, one more time!" Yuna echoed.

But Cyclone's gambler's intuition was warning him that this was a dangerous game, where failure could cost him one of his wives at any moment. As Cyclone hesitated, Onigashima yelled out, "No! Don't come again, look! My big sister is almost done with that bun..."

As he spoke, because Onigashima was protecting Sophiel's dining table, he now had to resort to a handstand to maintain the formation. This maneuver could only be described as grandiose, even by Cyclone.

As everyone watched with bated breath, as Sophiel's bun was about to be eaten up, they heard Onigashima's suggestion. Suddenly, a bun hidden in Onigashima's bosom fell out, rolling to Sophiel's feet.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, and at the same time, a mysterious light shone around Sophiel once more.

"Pay no attention to that woman, just knock her bun out and make her join..." Yuna wanted Sophiel to join the fight, using the chaos to break the deadlock.

At this moment, not only Onigashima and Alexander but even the members of the Assassination Team shook their heads desperately.

"No, we can't do that! If my big sister enters that state, even allies will be attacked!"

"No, no, absolutely can't let that woman have any excuse to go berserk..."

The consensus among everyone left Cyclone and Yuna speechless.

"Just go for it again, Cyclone the hero!"

"Forget it, Cyclone! Go after that team leader again!"

Alexander and Yuna didn't wait for others to think and shouted once more.

But Cyclone paid them no heed; now he had to think independently. This game was just too dangerous. The gambler's intuition reminded Cyclone not to trust the judgement of those involved. If Cyclone were to gamble, the only one he could trust was himself.

Calmly, Cyclone thought, as long as he didn't disturb this formation, it would remain unchanged.

Cyclone is what you call time for contemplating.

"Yuna! Your magical power is the most abundant on the continent, if you persist, it will drain them..."

Yuna shook her head.

"I can't do that... Even though I can push through, but..."

Yuna glanced at Eileen.

At that moment, Cyclone finally realized that time was indeed running out.

Yuna could endure, but Eileen couldn't.

Eileen herself was just an ordinary staff crafter, with only a little knowledge of magical techniques.

In this gathering of combat experts, Eileen should not have participated in the first place.

Cyclone had misjudged the situation. Even if Cyclone did nothing now, when Eileen's magical power ran out, the formation would change again.

And this change would be disadvantageous, a 1-to-2 shift.

The opponent only needed to shift one more time, including the useless Eileen, the situation would immediately become eight versus seven.

"...Cyclone!!"

"Cyclone!!"

"Cyclone, the hero!!"

Yuna, Little Dragon, and Alexander shouted simultaneously.

"How dare you?! Next time we shift, we will all target your women!!"

"Cyclone, don't listen to him! I can handle it!"

"Don't worry, the Four Sages will definitely protect your wives!"

Each person's sentence was disrupting Cyclone's analysis.

At that moment, Cyclone suddenly stepped back ten paces.

"Wives! Wait for me!!"

With that, Cyclone ran off.
