Chapter 64: The King's Gamble
The match between the Academy of the Grim Reaper and the Merris Academy ended very quickly.
The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and in less than half an hour, the Death Academy swept Merris Academy with a score of 3:0.
The Death Academy's strongest warrior, "The Beast" Uka, made an indelible impression in the battle, and after defeating his opponent in the first game, he participated in the second two-player battle in a row.
It was said that it was a two-man battle, but Uka's companion stood on the field and didn't make a move at all, and he single-handedly solved the duo of the Merris Academy's martial artist and magician. His toughness in battle shocked the crowd.
After the Death Academy, it was the competition between Nolan Academy and the Blood Yao Academy.
When Nolan Academy came out, the audience resounded with a tsunami of cheers, which was in stark contrast to the sparse applause mixed with boos when the Blood Academy came on the field.
"It's really stressful to play in a venue like this!"
Arthur, who was the first to appear in the Bloodshine Academy, carried the Starfall Greatsword and squinted at the audience around the gladiatorial arena. There was a slight pause as his gaze swept over the largest box directly in front of the arena, behind which stood the golden and red banner of the Isaac Kingdom.
At this time, in the box, His Majesty Strelch's eyes were also on Arthur.
"It turned out to be black hair, and it was really an interesting young man. "It was the first time Streich had seen Arthur.
"It's not bad that the Demon Martial Dual Cultivation can cultivate to the fourth level at the same time, but it's still not enough to put it in the Empire!" sighed softly to one of the people beside Streich.
Streich was not annoyed at all, but smiled: "It seems that the prince is not optimistic about me Isaac in this scene!"
Sitting next to Stray in the box was Prince Gallaher, the "purple-eyed god of war". Prince Gallaher was able to watch the game on behalf of the emperor.
Gallaher also smiled: "I, the prince of the empire, are naturally on the side of Nolan Academy, not to mention that Creech, who represents Nolan Academy, is still a rare magical genius in the bloodline of my imperial family over the years. ”
"Arthur on the field is my Isaac's Viscount Jiayong, his combat power may not be high, but he can always surprise people, why don't I make a bet with the prince?"
Prince Gallaher stroked his purple beard under his chin, "If King Isaac is not afraid of losing, I naturally can't refuse, I don't know what you want to bet on?"
"It's inevitable to bet on those yellow and white things between you and me, I heard that the prince has a successfully domesticated eighth-level demonic beast Blue Feather Thunder Eagle, I wonder if the prince is willing to bet on it?"
Gallaher squinted at Strach, "You've been thinking about my flying beast for a long time, right?
Strachge laughed and said, "Within the treasury of my Isaac Kingdom, as long as the prince can see it, he can take it." ”
"If you lose, choose any piece of legendary equipment from your treasury, right?"
"Okay, that's a deal. ”
"Then I'll thank King Isaac for his legendary equipment. Prince Gallaher laughed with a win.
How could Creech, a sixth-level genius ice magician, lose to a guy who was only level four?
The silver-haired, silver-robed critch in the gladiatorial arena was full of anger, the barbarian from Isaac in front of him hadn't looked at him since he came on the field, and he had to pay for his faux pas!
When the referee shouted to start, Creech waved the silver staff in his hand, and the three ice shields began to rotate rapidly around his body.
Set yourself up for defense first, the standard mage fighting style. When Creech completed the protective magic with the magic wand in an instant, Arthur rushed forward a dozen meters. Creech's staff swung again, and three arm-thick ice spears shot at Arthur.
Arthur's speed did not slow down, and the giant sword in his hand swung quickly to knock the three ice guns to the ground, and at the same time closed the distance by half.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Krich's mouth, and the magic wand drew a circle on his chest and pushed forward, and a large inch of crystal ice needle swept towards Arthur.
The fourth-level magic "Ice Needle Rain" is a large-scale attack magic, covering more than ten square meters around Arthur's body, making Arthur unable to hide.
"Burst Flame Slash!" The fiery red Douqi Long Sword slashed forward, and the bursting, fiery Dou Qi exploded and melted the tiny ice needles, and the blade of the Douqi Long Sword was blocked when it met the ice shield.
Arthur lunged forward and slashed through the range of the fighting spirit, and the man under his feet jumped up in the air and leaped over the ice shield to the top of Creech's head, and the starfall sword slashed down in the air.
The opening confrontation between the two sides shows the standard battle between the mage and the warrior, the mage attacks by opening up the distance, and the warrior attacks the mage by looking for opportunities to get closer.
Creech looked at Arthur, who had jumped above his head, and smiled contemptuously, if it was so easy to let the warrior easily attack in close quarters, he would also call himself a genius magician.
Creech's body spun rapidly to one side, and the magic wand in his hand also rotated above his head with the movement, and a tornado of ice blades rushed out of the staff, and quickly expanded towards Arthur's body as it fell.
The sixth-level magic "Ice Blade Dance" generates a huge cutting force through the rapid rotation of hundreds of sharp ice blades, not to mention flesh and blood, even rare-level armor will be cut to pieces if it is caught in it.
"It's not that easy. Arthur, who was in mid-air, slammed his toes into the void and instantly activated the "gliding technique" on his enchanted combat boots, and his body immediately swung backwards from his falling position, and escaped from the tornado almost the moment the ice blade rolled up to his ankle.
The two sides played each other in the first round, and neither took advantage.
Arthur landed and gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, it was so dangerous, and he was swept into it a little later.
Creech gasped slightly, the sixth-level magic just now consumed a lot of money on him, and at the same time, a trace of doubt couldn't help but rise in his heart, "Does this guy really have a fourth-level spell?"
Arthur's gaze at Creech again began to become serious, it seems that this guy on the other side is really difficult to deal with, whether it is the sense of battle or the mastery of the timing of spell casting, he is a master, and the magic wand in his hand must be of excellent level, which has played a great role in the speed of spell casting and the power of magic.
In the box of the stands, Prince Gallaher's expression began to become serious, "That Arthur is definitely not a fourth-level martial artist now, and there is no fourth-level martial artist who can slash such a powerful fighting technique. ”
Of course, Arthur is no longer a fourth-level soldier, and the successive sneak attacks and arrests of the Inquisition have made Arthur feel a huge crisis, and he urgently needs strength, so he has absorbed a Yuan Crystal in the past few days in King Qiong's Mansion and broken through to the fifth-level captain in one fell swoop.
Stredge, whose face had been tense since the beginning of the game, showed a hint of a smile, "Look down, this is just the beginning, my Viscount Jiayong is not only so capable." ”
Almost at the same time, Arthur smiled defiantly at Creech, "Come on, it's only now that really begins!"
