Salute to the General novel Chapter 2949

Chev's insides were churning from the impact of Nathan's punch, and blood was trickling down his lips. He stared at Nathan in disbelief, but all he saw was a relaxed man as if that punch didn't take much out of him.

He said grimly, “I see you're not called the God of War for nothing. Perhaps I've underestimated you, but not anymore. I'm going all in, and the real battle's just started.”

He moved at an almost impossible speed and appeared in front of Nathan.

Chev raised his hand and hurled his fist, but Nathan blocked it with his left arm. He then spun around and lashed his elbow out at Nathan's chest.

Nathan reacted quickly enough and held his elbow with one hand.

The fighters were engaged in close-quarter combat, and their attacks were relentless. Every time they clashed, a loud boom would shake the air around them.

The earth was shaking, and the sea was rumbling. Less than thirty exchanges later, Nathan's punches broke through Chev's defenses, and he crashed his fist into his enemy's chest.

Chev felt as if he was hit by a beast. He spewed blood as he flew backward and fell in front of the people of the Room of Taurus with a thud.

“Sir!” his men exclaimed.

“Bring the Divine Potion here!”

Divine Potion was just a serum that stimulated the user's potential. After the potion was administered, it would quickly lower the sense of pain and increase the user's potential dramatically, granting them a big increase in battle strength. In other words, it was steroids on steroids.

The effect was powerful, but so was the side effect. Unless it was a life-or-death situation, Divine Potions were usually off-limits.

Just then, a man quickly approached Chev. “I'm sorry,” he said as he raised a syringe and jabbed it in Chev's chest.

The needle buried itself in Chev's flesh, and the serum was injected into his body.

A moment ago, Chev was heavily injured, but now he was exhibiting visible changes. He raised his hand and shoved the man away, and then he slowly stood up, like a beast awakening from its slumber.

His muscles quickly hardened until they were as tough as steel. Veins popped on the muscles, and they looked like centipedes that covered his body. His eyes were bulging and bloodshot, and white steam came out of his nostrils as if he was an animal.

He grinned at Nathan. “You're stronger than I could ever imagine, but that only makes me want to capture you alive more. If I can take you back to Heavenly City and research you, maybe we can make an army of powerful fighters.”

He darted toward Nathan once more, and winds blew around him. Nathan didn't even bother dodging. Once again, he faced his enemy head-on and darted ahead.

The fighters clashed, and a dull thud was heard. Nathan's attack had more momentum behind it, and he fell into the sea along with Chev.

Everyone watched in awe as the fighters dropped into the waters like a pair of meteorites crashing on the land. They made a huge splash before disappearing into the depths of the sea.

While everyone was wondering what happened to them, dull thuds were coming up to the surface, and pillars of water shot up into the sky as if torpedoes were going off under the water.

The people of the Room of Taurus were astonished, while Nathan's allies were worried. Even Kraven said, “Mr. Cross is one of a kind. He's probably as powerful as Master himself.”

The explosions were slowly getting slower as the battle seemed to draw to an end. Everyone on the island was waiting for the result with bated breaths. They were dying to know who would come out as the victor.

Eventually, the sea calmed down, but neither of the fighters came back up, much to everyone's shock. Don't tell me they both lost and died.

Just when everyone thought both fighters had sustained heavy injuries, someone broke out of the sea with a big splash and rose into the sky like a dragon before making his landing on the island.

When Colin saw who it was, he exclaimed, “President Cross!”

The man who came out was none other than Nathan, making him the survivor of the battle.

Everyone glared at Nathan as if he had taken everything away from them. At the same time, they noticed he was holding someone in his hand, and it was none other than their dean—Chev. More surprisingly, Chev was still alive, albeit he was one inch away from death.
