I Am Unstoppable

Simon could have killed Lesley, but he had held back.

Moreover, Simon didn't use his golden brass knuckles. He probably realized that it was futile to use poison, which was why he applied force into Lesley's body through his punches. The powerful impact had wounded Lesley's internal organs.

Right then and there, Lesley's injuries were more serious than Elijah's.

This meant that Jonathan had to take care of two injured members at that point, as well as a clueless Catherine.

In other words, he was in a dreadful state.

Meanwhile, the chase was still ongoing in the forest.

It was Simon chasing after James.

James was running at full speed, but Simon was getting closer.

In the end, James had nowhere to escape and leaned against a tree. He looked at Simon in terror as the latter inched closer to him.

James couldn't help but shudder. His forehead was beaded with sweat. “Simon, you know that I'm on your side, right? Don't kill me. I will find a way to help you finish Jonathan and the rest of-”

Before James could finish his words, Simon suddenly closed in on him. Stretching out two fingers, Simon directly pierced James' eyes.

The energy from his fingers completely destroyed James' brain, and the latter died on the spot.

Even after James breathed his last breath, James could not put his finger on how Simon had figured out his scheme.

Another thing that James didn't know was that Simon had him marked with a mysterious herb earlier. Simon would be able to smell the scent of that herb within ten miles.

After all, James was a boy who lived a sheltered life in a prominent family. He indeed had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, but all his plans were too idealistic.

Hence, Simon had never taken James seriously.

It was akin to an adult watching a child kick up a fuss.

Night fell gradually.

There was a drop in temperature at the beach.

The temperature was higher during the day while it was colder at night.

Thanks to Simon's sudden attack, Jonathan didn't put Lesley and Elijah in the water to beat the heat.

Instead, Jonathan made a small shelter out of branches.

If Elijah and Lesley were placed in water, it would surely be a disaster for them when the cold night fell.

Jonathan found a place and scraped off the sand on the surface. Only then did he realize that the sand inside was still warm. Jonathan then asked Elijah and Lesley to lie down. As soon as they lay on the sand, they felt much better.

Elijah did not hold a grudge against Jonathan as he had realized the reason why Jonathan said those things. He knew that Jonathan was just trying to save him. Otherwise, judging from Simon's personality, Simon wouldn't have let Elijah go.

At the moment, what concerned Jonathan the most was food.

Whether it was Jonathan, Catherine, Elijah, or Lesley, they all needed food and water to survive.

Otherwise, with the extreme temperature, the intense exposure to the sun as well as the deprivation of food and water, their energy would be drained in no time.

It was also likely that Simon was monitoring them secretly.

If Jonathan and Catherine didn't eat or drink, they would become weaker as time passed. At that time, Simon would definitely take advantage of this chance and attack Jonathan and Catherine.

Therefore, the most crucial thing to do at the moment was to find food. After all, the situation was dire. However, Jonathan was afraid that Simon would seize the opportunity and launch an attack when he was in search of food and water.

This was the problem that troubling Jonathan at the moment.

In the dead of night, a bright moon was hanging in the sky.

Elijah and Lesley lay down side by side. Lesley was very calm. He smiled bitterly at Jonathan and uttered, “From the moment I swallowed the golden silkworms, I've already accepted that I will die on this island. However, I never expected such a senseless death.”

Catherine, on the other hand, sat cross-legged, not worried about anything.

Compared to Lesley, Elijah, however, seemed the least stable. He looked terrified, and at times, he would feel anxious. Upon hearing what Lesley said, Elijah then added, “If I were given another chance, I would not have participated in this sh*tty Divine Realm. I don't even know what is so good about Divine Realm.”

Jonathan could not help but ask, “Then why are you here?”

Elijah replied, “It's all because of my grandpa and my father. They wanted me to join Divine Realm and have trained me since I was a kid. I couldn't resist at all. Nor could I disobey their order. If I quit without fighting this time, I will be eliminated. If that happens, I will probably not be allowed to return home again. Hence, I have no choice but to participate.”

Realization dawned upon Jonathan. In fact, he was also aware that most of the candidates went through the same thing as Elijah.

This was just like the exam-oriented education system nowadays, which had also resulted in a lot of similar tragedies. Most of the time, parents forced their children into doing things that the children did not want to. Thus, they had no choice but to suppress their nature and desires.

“How about you, Lesley? Why did you take part in Divine Realm's test?” Jonathan asked Lesley after staying silent for a while.

Seeing that Lesley struggled to prop himself up, Jonathan immediately helped him up.

In a sitting position, Lesley then stated, “My hometown is Utros in the northern region, but I don't know who my biological parents are. I was adopted by the Clark family, who is the king of Utros. They have adopted twenty orphans. We grew up together. The king of Dellmoor, who is the head of the Clark family wanted us to join the Divine Realm. When we reach a certain level, we will be able to strengthen the foundation of the Clark family using the resources in the Divine Realm. It's a great honor to be an outer disciple in the Divine Realm as every outer disciple has extraordinary achievements. Hence, the king of Utros hoped that we could join the Divine Realm.”

“There are five of us who took part in this test, but I'm the only one left up until this moment. I owe the Clark family a lot, so there is no way I will give up during the test. I will either die here or make it through. That is the only way out.”

Jonathan was dumbfounded. It seemed that everyone who came to join the Divine Realm had their own story.

In fact, everyone out there had their own story.

“Jonathan, what about you?” Lesley asked suddenly. Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I feel that there is a special vitality in your punching technique as if no one can suppress it. I'm sure you have a story of your own as well. Why did you join the Divine Realm?”

His words startled Jonathan. For an instant, he was at a loss for words.

It seemed like he was carrying the expectations of Yareth and Mabel.

On top of that, he had offended quite a few influential people. Thus, the only way out was to join the Divine Realm. This way, Strikezone Martial Arts and Jeremy will continue in peace. Otherwise, there would be endless revenge.

Not only that, but he was also the Chosen One.

For the sake of survival, the Chosen One could not attempt to run away from their destiny. Instead, they needed to take the initiative to face the danger.

As a result, Jonathan responded, “My wife, Catherine, is from a prominent family, but I'm not. To put it bluntly, we are left with no choice.”

With a bitter smile, Lesley said, “A bunch of people who are left with no choice gathered in this deadly test. This is both ridiculous and pathetic.”

Jonathan replied, “It doesn't matter to have no choice. After all, it's our path. We have to keep walking no matter what. Whether we can make it through or not, we will have no regrets because we have put in our effort.”

Lesley was stunned for a moment before replying, “Jonathan, you are indeed perceptive.”

Elijah, on the other hand, remained silent.
