Steven smiled.
“Have fun with that.”
The next second, his Origin Wings appeared, and the Firmament Wings merged with the fiery glow of his Wind–Fire Divine Sigil.
He beat his wings fiercely and instantly shot high into the sky.
Turning into a blur, he vanished from where he had been standing.
For a moment, the entire scene fell silent, and only a bleak gust of wind drifted through the air…
Beckett stared at the suddenly vanished Steven, completely dumbfounded.
He just flew away?
Was this kid part bird or something?
Origin Wings shouldn’t have been capable of that kind of speed…
How was he moving so fast?
Was this really a Divine Adept?
Countless questions filled his mind.
He even looked up, trying to find Steven’s figure, but he couldn’t see a trace of him.
Alex’s voice came through his earpiece. “Beckett, move! The Skyreach Serpent is almost there!”
Beckett’s face instantly turned pale.
“You bastard! I won’t let you get away with this!”
Beckett was on the verge of a breakdown.
The prize had practically been in his hands, only to be stolen by a Divine Adept.
No Divine General could accept something like that.
After flying into the sky, Steven glanced toward the shore.
The Skyreach Serpent was approaching the island at a terrifying speed.
Now that the Skyreach Serpent was no longer blocking them, the heavily injured Awakened Squads finally found an opening.
They all rushed toward the water.
One after another, they ran across the surface of the lake, using it as a route to break out.

Chapter 412 Flying Away
Steven was slightly shocked. The Skyreach Serpent had actually sensed the Crimsonflame Spiru Fruit being taken almost instantly.
It seemed that the Crimsonflame Spirit Fruit was extremely important to the Skyreach Serpent
But there was no time to worry about that now!
Steven quickly surveyed the surrounding arca:
Those ferocious birds were rapidly swooping toward him.
A sharp gleam flashed through Steven’s eyes.
“Captain Greenwood! Retreat now! I’ve got it! Get out of there!”
Steven flapped his wings.
Instantly, he turned into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.
He planned to make a wide detour before circling back. He could not afford to run into the Skyreach Serpent.
But at that moment, just as Alan was preparing to withdraw, Olivia’s voice came through both of their earpieces.
“Captain Greenwood! Nebula Squad is heading toward us!”
The moment they heard that, both of their expressions changed drastically.
“Olivia! We’re coming back right now!”
But their words sank into silence like stones thrown into the ocean. There was no reply.
Steven’s and Alan’s expressions immediately darkened.
Alan turned around and charged back toward the beast horde, forcibly carving a bloody path.through them as he rushed toward his teammates.
plant away.
When he saw the speed Steven displayed, he had been stunned as well.
A perfectly planned massacre had collapsed halfway through.
How had that kid even discovered the spirit fruit?
Not only had he not taken a single wrong turn, but after obtaining the meteorite shard, he had headed directly toward it with a clear objective. It was as if he had known the spirit fruit was there all along!
After desperately breaking out of the encirclement, he plunged straight into the lake and did not dare stop for even a moment.
The Awakened Squads noticed this as well.
Damn it, had they all ended up doing the work for someone else?
Still, they probably owed that kid some thanks. If not for him, the Skyreach Serpent would have continued slaughtering them, and no one knew how many more would have died.
The members of the Awakened Squads, whether injured or dead, were all rapidly withdrawing.
They raced across the waves.
The beasts did not dare enter the water carelessly, so their immediate danger had actually been removed.
The members of Soulreaver regrouped with Beckett.
The captain leading the team did not look pleased.
“What happened? Why didn’t you get it? Was it a late–stage Divine General? Who was it?”
Hearing that question, Beckett felt like coughing up blood.
He was even embarrassed.
Tue,
Chapter 412 Flying Away
“It wasn’t a Divine General. It was a Three–Sigil Divine Adept. A nobody!”
The entire Soulreaver Team was stunned when they heard that.
Alex frowned. “What happened?”
Alex had a cold and stern appearance. He stood a little over six feet tall and was handsome, but the coldness he carried was different from Alan’s.
The two were clearly brothers, yet they looked nothing alike…
Beckett explained, “I was fighting the Blackwater Sawtooth Crocodile when that beast grabbed the meteorite shard and flung it deep into the island. By the time I got there, that little bastard had already picked it up. I chased him all the way across the island. Just when I caught up to him, he pulled up a spirit fruit in one motion! That spirit fruit was obviously being guarded by the Skyreach Serpent, and it was about to mature.”
