Chapter 423: An expelled legend



Chapter 423: An expelled legend

The bored crowd had suddenly gained a great interest in the new contestant. Their interest was growing, and this meant that people were starting to fill in from outside the arena as well. Although it was still hard to get people to watch such a fight on short notice. ;

Of course, not everyone was happy, as there were those that were filled with anger at the results. ; ;

"What the hell are the workers doing?!" The large man shouted as he slammed his fist down on his thigh. "They cheated me, they must have given false information. How in the whole of Bronzeland is such a low rank adventurer able to defeat an advanced tier and now go up against a king tier?" ; ;

At this point the large man had a choice, he could bet with the mystery man winning his fight, or he could bet against him. After giving it a few seconds, he decided to put the remainder of his money he had with him that day against the man. For some reason he felt like the man inside the ring was partly to blame, and he would be more thrilled if he lost while gaining a big earning. ;

Inside the arena, Ray was waiting patiently for the king tier beast. The arena was already being cleared, but for some reason it was taking a while at least longer than the fights he had before. Although he didn't mind as it gave him a chance to rest and regain his stamina. ; ;

As for the reason why it was taking so long? It was because the organisers watching had an interesting idea. In all honesty, they had never expected this to happen either. Inside one of the watching booths, there was a man in strange, long robbed clothing. His hands and neck were filled with jewels and gold. ; ;

"Why don't we try and make this a little more fun." The man thought. "Get the recording crystals ready, and select king tier beast B as well." ;

After waiting a few moments, the galthrium bars started to rise from the arena floor, and Ray could hear the sound of heavy footsteps coming in the distance. Drawing his sword, he was ready. ; ;

'Remember what you promised yourself. Don't use your gauntlets or magic. Otherwise, you will never improve and get stronger!' Ray thought as he gripped the hilt of his black raven sword tightly. He knew it would be a tough battle though, even if he was skilful with the sword. For his weapon was at the advanced level while going up against a king tier. ; ;

Finally, the beast had come out from the bars and gave out a terrifying roar, as it started to sniff around the arena. Upon seeing the beast, the crowd cheered louder than ever and Roki, who was watching, had a smirk on his face, as he looked at the direction of the booth. ; ;

"You sly man." Roki said. ; ;

Along the edge of the arena, there were now several guards who stood holding a recording crystal in their hand. It would allow them to catch everything that was to happen in the current event. ; ;

When seeing the beast that had appeared, even Ray was happy. It was a dinosaur large beast that stood on its two back legs, but its main feature was its large tail that was bladed, as if it was a large sword. It was the same beast that Roki, the previous contestant, had fought before Ray had entered. ; ;

"Let's see how you do against this?" Roki thought while his heart continued to thump with excitement. ;

As soon as the beast got a whiff of the scent of the person in front of him, it immediately started charging in at Ray. As it got close, it suddenly stopped and swung its giant sword tail towards Ray. Using his black sash footwork, he was able to avoid the attack smoothly. ; ;

The crowd gasped as they saw the tail come towards him thinking he would be hit, but instead it looked like the tail simply passed through his body, but to those who were watching more carefully they could see, Ray had stepped back and moved forward just at the right time. ; ;

Although feeling no impact, the king tier beast suddenly stopped its tail and swung back again. At this point, Ray had moved in too close to the beast, expecting to deliver an attack of his own. He had expected that the beast's momentum was too great for it to suddenly stop like it had done and throw an attack from the other side. ; ;

Seeing the tail as it was, Ray decided to deflect the attack upward. As the giant tail came towards him, he managed to hit it at the right time, however, his blade was slightly tilted at the wrong angle for him to fully parry the tail away, and he was eventually pushed back by the force and was hit. ; ;

However, unlike Roki, while flying mid-air, Ray was able to recover, and he stabbed his sword in the ground as hard as he could. It was a clean cut, and he had stopped himself from being hit into the wall. ; ;

"What amazing strength and amazing body he has. The sudden stop in force for something like that should have dislocated his shoulder, or perhaps even ripped his entire arm off." Roki said. ; ;

Watching the contestant with the single parry of his blade, Roki felt a little strange. The Footwork before was perfect as he avoided the strike. As for the parry, it could be considered poor. The only reason it had some effect against the beast tail was due to the brute strength that was used. ; ;

What had happened was a simple mistake, something a master swordsman would not make having practised hundreds of thousands of times, at least not as bad as the person in front of him. ; ;

If the fight was to continue like this Roki felt like if the two of them were to get into a fight, he could easily out duel him. ;

As the fight was going on, the arena, from outside, started to broadcast the battle going on inside. While they had hecklers shouting out the event on the streets. ; ;

"Everyone, we have a new contestant by the name of Nes Dalon, facing off against a king tier beast. Come in, come in!" The man shouted as a projector of the fight was being displayed behind him. ; ;

Walking through the city, a certain person who was dressed in ragged robes with dead eyes looked defeated. He looked like he was a simple push away from everything disappearing, but the sudden mention of a name had perked his ears up. ; ;

"Nes? Damn that cursed name. Why is it so popular these days?" The person thought, as he turned his head to look at the projector, he could see a closeup of the person who was currently doing battle with the king tier beast. The camera was focused on his face, as he lifted himself from the ground and held the black raven sword in his hand. ; ;

For a second, the robed man rubbed his eyes a few times. He had seen this face before, although not exactly the same, it looked nearly the same as the person he knew, only a few years older. ; ;

"Is it you, but how, you were dead… I killed you." Walking towards the arena, the man needed to confirm it with his own eyes. For the person known as Nes had ruined his life. For once he was the great Tower master, Roy, a grand wielder in fire magic. ;
