The spreading cracks were rapidly escalating the situation on the arena, making it more and more perilous. The team was forced to divert part of their attention to dealing with the threats posed by the cracks, which weakened their defenses.
"We have to get out of here, now!" Liliana said urgently. "The cracks could cause the entire arena to collapse!"
Enzo nodded. He quickly scanned the surroundings and then directed the team to move toward the side of the arena with fewer cracks.
However, Hitler Churchill was not about to let them escape so easily. He launched another attack, attempting to stop the Alfa Planet team from fleeing.
"Think you can run? Not that easily!" Hitler Churchill sneered.
At that moment, Cruise Main stepped forward. His gaze was firm as he looked at Hitler Churchill and said, "You want to keep us here? You'll have to get through me first!"
With that, he charged toward Hitler Churchill. His Shadow Magic conjured black vortexes on the arena floor, swirling toward Hitler Churchill with intense force.
Hitler Churchill was forced to divert some of his energy to counter Cruise Main's attack, weakening his grip on the rest of the Alfa Planet team.
Seizing this opportunity, Enzo led his team, swiftly moving toward the side of the arena where the cracks were fewer. They managed to slip through the gaps in the cracks, successfully escaping the collapsing arena.
However, the battle was far from over. Hitler Churchill relentlessly pursued them, leading the Shadow Planet team toward Alfa Planet's crew.
"Get ready for battle!" Enzo shouted. "We can't let them succeed!"
The team responded to Enzo's call, regrouping to face the incoming assault from the Shadow Planet team.
But things were not as simple as they seemed.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the stands outside the arena became unbearably tense. Everyone held their breath, watching the sudden turn of events, filled with both anxiety and anticipation.
Enzo, leading the Alfa Planet team, and Hitler Churchill, commanding the Shadow Planet team, clashed again in a fierce battle on the open ground outside the arena.
"Be careful! Their Shadow Magic is extremely powerful!" Enzo warned loudly.
The team nodded, becoming more cautious as they faced the Shadow Planet's attacks. Jordan swung his longsword, locked in a fierce battle with a Shadow Planet soldier. Bruce Brown used Shadow Magic to disrupt and launch surprise strikes. Kehl stood at a distance, carefully taking down enemies with precise arrows. Liliana continued to act as the team's core strategist, overseeing the whole operation.
However, the Shadow Planet team was incredibly strong. Not only did they possess outstanding individual strength, but they also demonstrated exceptional teamwork. The Alfa Planet team gradually found themselves on the defensive, constantly under attack and suppression from their enemies.
"This isn't working!" Enzo said anxiously. "We have to find their weakness and strike back!"
Liliana furrowed her brows, carefully observing the fighting style of the Shadow Planet team. She noticed that when they cast Shadow Magic, there was a brief charging period. During this time, their defenses seemed to be relatively weak.
"Listen up, everyone! When they cast Shadow Magic, there's a charging process— that's our opportunity!" Liliana shouted, giving instructions.
The team members perked up at her words. They began paying closer attention to the Shadow Planet team's casting movements, looking for a chance to counterattack.
During a particularly intense clash, Liliana finally found the opening. She directed the team to focus their attacks on a Shadow Planet member who was in the midst of charging their Shadow Magic, successfully bringing the enemy down.
"Nice work!" Enzo shouted excitedly. "Keep up that coordination!"
Encouraged by his words, the team's morale soared. They began to actively look for weaknesses in their opponents and counterattack. Under Liliana's direction, the Alfa Planet team gradually regained their rhythm and began to suppress the Shadow Planet team.
However, Hitler Churchill was not about to give up. He quickly adapted his tactics, directing his team to launch even fiercer assaults. Shadow energy ravaged the open ground, putting immense pressure on the Alfa Planet team.
"Hold on, everyone!" Enzo shouted. "We can't give up!"
The team gritted their teeth, pressing on with the battle. They knew that this was the moment that would truly test their resolve and unity.
At that moment, Cruise Main suddenly launched a devastating Shadow Ambush! He flickered, appearing behind a Shadow Planet team member, and landed a powerful punch, knocking the enemy to the ground. Charcot also moved swiftly, using his agility and potent magical abilities to create constant disruption for the enemy.
With the combined efforts of Cruise Main and Charcot, the Alfa Planet team began to gain the upper hand. They steadily repelled the enemy's attacks and gradually took control of the battlefield.
However, Hitler Churchill was still relentless. He unleashed another Shadow Magic Circle, hoping to turn the tide. In an instant, the entire open ground was enveloped in shadow energy, creating a sense of extreme difficulty for the Alfa Planet team.
"Everyone, be careful! This is his ultimate move!" Liliana shouted, warning the team.
The team immediately became alert, preparing to defend against the Shadow Magic attacks. However, Hitler Churchill's Shadow Magic Circle was incredibly powerful, and it quickly placed the Alfa Planet team in a tough spot.
"What should we do?" Enzo asked urgently.
Liliana furrowed her brows, thinking hard for a solution. She knew that they had to find a way to break Hitler Churchill's Shadow Magic Circle, or else the Alfa Planet team would be in dire straits.
Just then, Cruise Main suddenly had an idea. He leaned close to Enzo and whispered, "Enzo Lord, I have a way to deal with his Shadow Magic Circle."
"What's the plan?" Enzo asked quickly.
Cruise Main smiled slightly and replied, "We can use my Shadow Magic and Charcot's elemental energy to disrupt his Magic Circle from the inside. At the same time, Liliana can use her water magic to create a water shield to block the Shadow Magic attacks."
Enzo's eyes lit up at the idea. "Great idea! Everyone, move out!"
The team immediately responded to Enzo's call and began to execute Cruise Main's plan. Liliana swiftly tapped into her water magic, forming seals with her hands. Clear streams of water surged from her palms, gradually forming a massive water curtain in the air above the battlefield.
The water curtain expanded, effectively blocking the attacks from the Shadow Magic Circle. At the same time, Cruise Main and Charcot launched their own offensive, using Shadow Magic and elemental energy to strike at the Magic Circle from within.
Hitler Churchill's face shifted slightly when he saw what was happening. He hadn't anticipated that the Alfa Planet team would come up with such a strategy to counter his Shadow Magic Circle. He increased the power of his Shadow Magic, attempting to break through the water shield's defense.
However, Liliana's water magic was incredibly strong. The water curtain she conjured was indestructible, successfully fending off the Shadow Magic's assaults. Meanwhile, Cruise Main and Charcot's attacks grew more intense, and the Magic Circle began to show signs of cracking.
"Damn it!" Hitler Churchill roared, furious. He had not expected to be pushed to such an extent by a group of young warriors. Gritting his teeth, he decided to use his final trump card.
"Shadow Burst!" Hitler Churchill shouted, gathering all his Shadow Magic energy and launching a final, overwhelming attack against the water curtain and the Magic Circle's barrier.
Just at that moment, Cruise Main and Charcot also unleashed their ultimate moves. A tremendous surge of shadow energy and elemental power erupted from within the Magic Circle, colliding violently with Hitler Churchill's Shadow Burst.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the Shadow Magic Circle's barrier was finally shattered, and the water curtain dissipated. The air above the open ground was filled with a dense wave of shadow energy, sending a chill down the spine of everyone present.
Hitler Churchill was pushed back by the massive shockwave, his face turning pale as paper. Meanwhile, the Alfa Planet team seized the opportunity and launched their final counterattack.
Staggering a few steps, Hitler Churchill steadied himself, his eyes flashing with a ruthless gleam. He hadn't expected these young warriors to be capable of breaking his Shadow Magic Circle, and this loss of face enraged him.
"You… you'll regret this!" Hitler Churchill gritted through his teeth, turning to flee the scene.
However, Enzo was not about to let him escape. With a sweeping motion of his arm, he shouted, "Everyone, chase after him! We can't let him get away!"
The Alfa Planet team quickly sprang into action, pursuing Hitler Churchill in the direction he was fleeing. They knew that only by completely defeating Hitler Churchill could this battle come to an end.
Although Hitler Churchill was powerful, the repeated battles had drained much of his strength. Desperately, he tried to escape, hoping to break free from the Alfa Planet team's relentless pursuit.
But Enzo and the others were right on his heels, steadily closing the gap between them. Finally, in a secluded corner, they successfully cornered Hitler Churchill.
"Humph, did you really think you could escape?" Enzo said coldly, locking eyes with Hitler Churchill.
Hitler Churchill's face darkened. He knew there was no way out. He glanced around, seeing the young and determined faces of the Alfa Planet team, and a sense of helplessness welled up inside him.
"Fine," he said, lowering his head in defeat. "I surrender."
Enzo smiled slightly. "If you had known it would end like this, why bother in the first place? But don't worry, we won't kill you, but you will have to pay for your actions."
With that, Enzo instructed his team to escort Hitler Churchill back to the competition grounds, where he would face further consequences for his actions.
