The Deadly Assassin Robin (Tristan Storm) novel Chapter 1086

Chapter 1086 Never Believe in Saviors
At 10 p.m.

The sky over Sunria was clear, with a gentle breeze and radiant sunshine.

Cary personally piloted the helicopter, escorting Robin and his companions directly to Mount Fuoco.

By 11 o'clock, the base of the magnificent Mount Fuoco was already teeming with people.

Amidst the picturesque landscape, every onlooker's eyes were filled with boundless anticipation.

This was a Pinnacle Battle that had captured the world's attention!

Being present to witness it was an unparalleled honor.

As soon as Elijah's challenge was issued yesterday, martial arts enthusiasts from around the globe mobilized by any means necessary to reach Mount Fuoco in Sakurania.

Everyone wanted to see the grandmasters, Elijah and Divine Drakebane, in action.

Journalists from major Sakuranian media outlets and global media personnel had arrived the night before, using their most advanced equipment to secure the best coverage of Mount Fuoco.

For safety reasons, the Metropolitan Police Department enforced a 500-meter no-entry zone around the duel site between Elijah and Drakebane.

They could only use aerial footage for their reports.

The Metropolitan Police Department also set up several large screens at the mountain's base to livestream the event for the crowd.

This was the largest gathering Mount Fuoco had ever seen since its inception.

The Sunria Metropolitan Police Department had deployed nearly all its forces to maintain order on site.

As Robin disembarked the helicopter, journalists and onlookers surged forward, eager to catch a glimpse of Drakebane.

If it weren't for the police barricade, the tens of thousands of spectators would have swarmed the helipad.

Sakuranian Martial Arts highly respected strong individuals.

In their belief, respect in this world was reserved for the powerful; only the strong deserved respect.

Those with a servile mindset, who spent their lives waiting for a savior, were deemed unworthy of living under the name of humanity.

It was precisely the existence of such subservient individuals that nurtured the so-called emperors and saints.

Those who revered strength never believed in saviors.

They understood that awakening and self-reliance were the fundamental ways for a person to truly lived.

As Robin stepped off the helicopter, cheers and shouts erupted from the crowd.

Denied a close-up view of Drakebane, they could only cheer from a distance.

In the midst of the excited crowd, Robin spotted a familiar, striking figure.

"Robin!" A woman waved her slender, fair arms, and called out loudly.

"Vera?" Robin stopped and turned toward the crowd.

Vera, overjoyed, cried out, "Robin, I finally see you again!"

For a moment, the crowd stirred.

The sudden movement startled the police officers.

Cary quickly stopped Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, please wait! Moving forward might cause a stampede."

Robin pointed towards Vera. "Let that woman through."

Vera was escorted to Robin's side and, overwhelmed by the reunion, she threw herself into his arms.

The crowd burst into envious cheers.

"Robin, I was originally in Elaria to buy some rare medicines. When I saw the news about you, I changed my plans and rushed here."

Robin patted Vera's shoulder. "Wait for me to finish my duel with Master Elijah, and then we'll head to Elaria together.

"My next stop is to take down the Biological Association and get the Nine Stars Group to account for their actions."

"Those who attempt to roll back current Earth civilization often pose as saviors, deceiving millions.

"In truth, there has never been any savior in this world! Nor any so-called divine emperor!

"The beings on Earth only yearn for simple equality, freedom, and freedom from enslavement.

"The Dragon Lord and Young Lord Dragon, whom I deeply respected, were the strongest defenders of Heaven's Will civilization.

"That's why I've been sitting here for 30 years, exhausting all my time, waiting for a successor."

Robin was baffled. "Master Elijah, what are you trying to say?"

Elijah raised his gaze to Robin, still speaking as if to himself, "The legendary ancient relic is the dragon dagger in your hand. Whoever holds this relic bears a great responsibility.

"Perhaps what I'm saying now doesn't make sense to you.

"One day, when you confront those who seek to destroy human civilization with their decay, the ancient relic will enable you to cut down that evil.

"Mr. Ramsey, time is short. Draw your dragon dagger and duel with me. To die by your relic will complete my life."

...

The live broadcast of Elijah and Robin's duel was expected to showcase an immediate fierce battle upon their meeting.

To everyone's surprise, the two grandmasters sat cross-legged, seemingly engaged in deep conversation.

"What's going on with Master Elijah? Why hasn't he started fighting?"

"Yeah, what are they doing? Looks like they're having a heart-to-heart chat."

"Hey, look! They're standing up and drawing their weapons!"

On the broadcast screens, Robin unsheathed his dagger while Master Elijah held his saber.

A hush fell over the spectators.

A pinnacle duel of the century was about to unfold!
