Chapter 59: Awakening

Marcus looked at Kenneth in front of him, whose eyes turned into red vertical pupils, and only felt that he was not facing a human at this time, but some kind of creature above all species, and his heart trembled, like a baby, without the slightest thought of resistance.

This is the majesty of the dragon, the majesty that reigns over all living things, before which all things have to bow down.

Marcus saw his face distorted by fear in Kenneth's cold and angry red eyes, and finally broke down and shouted, "What the hell are you?!" ”

"I warned you at the beginning," Kenneth began, his voice muffled with anger, "no, no, hurt, hurt, me, man, companion!" ”

Like a dragon roaring.

"Beep-" Seeing that the captains of the two teams suddenly had an argument, one of the linesmen immediately blew the whistle to stop the game.

"You, you monster...... What do you want to do? Marcus asked with wide eyes as he saw the murderous intent in Kenneth's eyes.

"You're going to pay for it." Kenneth growled.

"Referee, referee! Help me! Help me! The dual threat of momentum and spirit convinced Marcus that Kenneth was really going to do something to him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted loudly.

The referee hurriedly ran over to look at Kenneth and said, "Captain Fair, hurry up and let go of your hand, otherwise I will treat your behavior as a foul!" ”

Kenneth slowly turned his head to look at the referee and said, "Get out." ”

The referee, who was over forty years old, was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and said with anger on his face: "What did you say?!" ”

"I said,." Kenneth's red eyes stared at the referee's face as an ordinary middle-aged uncle, and he exhaled clearly.

When the referee met Kenneth's eyes, he only felt suffocated, but the psychological advantage of being a referee and an adult overcame the mental pressure brought to him by Kenneth, and instead he took out the red card in anger and said: "Do you want to eat the red card?" ”

"That's also after the guy was abolished." Kenneth's eyes were thick with bloodlust, and he slowly turned his head to Marcas, whose face was full of horror.

"Don't, don't, don't!!" Marcus shouted in horror.

"Kenneth, stop!" But it was Brandon who stuck Kenneth's neck with one hand, just like he had done to himself before, except that because Brandon was slightly shorter than Kenneth, Brandon needed to stand on tiptoe to do it. Mona and the others also came over to try to calm Kenneth's anger.

But Kenneth didn't move like steel, didn't look at Brandon, and said, "Bran, this bastard was trying to do something to you just now." Why are you stopping me? ”

"Because that boy said before he left, please me, if you lose and go back, you won't be ridiculed to death by that guy?" Brandon muttered, and despite all his efforts to drag Kenneth away, Kenneth still didn't move.

Just as Brandon was trying to persuade him, he saw a brownish-yellow light hit Kenneth, causing Kenneth's body to shake. 、

Brandon turned his head to look and saw the referee raise the wand in his hand, which was inlaid with a brownish-yellow gem, and a fourth-order magic array that Brandon didn't recognize appeared on the top.

Fourth-order earthly magic, "Psychic Impact", is a directional attack type of magic that inflicts a mental impact on the target hit, and is bound to fall into a stunned state for up to eight seconds.

It was supposed to be like this, but for Kenneth, who had sixty percent resistance to fourth-order magic, he was only stunned for three and a half seconds.

Kenneth, who was attacked by the referee, felt that he could not control his emotions more and more, as if his majesty had been challenged, and his eyes on the referee became unkind.

Brandon had a rare sharp moment, and immediately sensed that Kenneth's mood was abnormal at this time, so he grabbed Kenneth's ear and yelled, "Kenny, we still have to advance to the next game!" Hurry up and wake me up! Don't you want to save Ming?! ”

Kenneth was stunned when he heard this, as if he had come to his senses, the crimson color in his eyes slowly disappeared, and the anger and killing intent that occupied his brain faded like a tide, turning back into his original black eyes, but the crimson in the depths of his eyes spread slightly.

Immediately after, a familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded in Kenneth's head: "Kenneth Lancelot, it seems that my awakening has had a very bad effect on your emotions. ”

This is the voice of Hephaestus!

"Hephaestus?" Kenneth asked in surprise.

"Your anger has awakened me, who should have been asleep for a while. Did something happen? Oh, I see. Hephaestus' voice was as calm as it had been then, as if nothing was worth mentioning before him. And with the spiritual contract between the two, everything that happened to Kenneth during this time was already known to him.

It turned out that Kenneth's almost emotional out-of-control was caused by Hephaestus' sudden awakening, because Hephaestus and Kenneth signed a spiritual contract, Kenneth's affinity with the fire element and spiritual power grew with Hephaestus's growth, at this time, because Kenneth's affinity with the fire element was raised to a notch again, the spirit was temporarily affected by the fire element, and became irritable and bloodthirsty. However, it seems that the truth is not so simple.

Hephaestus chuckled and said, "It seems that you haven't changed at all." But now doesn't seem to be the time for small talk? ”

"Oh, yes!"

I saw Kenneth hurriedly let go of Marcas's hand, and immediately bent down ninety degrees to apologize to the referee who was already about to show the red card: "I'm sorry, I was emotional because of my teammate's injury, please forgive the referee!" ”

The referee was taken aback by Kenneth's sudden change of attitude, but he was still very satisfied with Kenneth's attitude of admitting his mistake, so he took back the red card and showed a yellow card: "But it is indeed a fact that you disrupted the order of the game, considering that it did not cause too bad an impact, give a yellow card warning." ”

"Referee, isn't it, my wrist was pinched and swollen by him, so he only awarded him a yellow card?" But it was Marcus who jumped out and questioned, exposing his wrist, only to see a visible bruise on his wrist.

However, the referee just glanced at it, and then said: "This kind of injury can't even be talked about, let's start playing quickly." ”

"Don't you have eyes? Doesn't that hurt at all?! Marcas continued to question loudly.

The referee apparently didn't have the patience to dwell on it any longer, so he showed a yellow card to Marcas and said, "Disrupt the order of the pitch." Ball exchange. ”

"What?!" Marcas' eyes widened in disbelief.

And just when Marcas wanted to argue with the referee, their players quickly dragged him away to prevent him from angering the referee and being sent off directly by the angry referee. After all, although this captain is not welcome, he is the only person on the field who can stop the monster on the opposite side.

——————

After this unpleasant episode, the game finally returned to normal.

Because of Marcas's foul, a free kick was taken by Brandon, who was closest to him at the time.

Brandon looked at Kenneth, who winked at him with his right eye, a signal that they had agreed to implement the midfield strategy. At this time, Brandon was standing near the halfway line, while Marcas was watching from the sidelines, and Kenneth was standing about two meters in front of Brandon.

Although he had failed once before, Brandon still chose to trust Kenneth's judgment, so he held his breath and concentrated his mind on his previous state, and then looked at the position of the opposing defender and fired a beautiful big kick.

And Marcus, who had already understood the intentions of Team Phil in an instant, let out a sneer, but when he saw Kenneth running towards the landing spot, he showed a look of disbelief: his speed seemed to be faster than before?

Marcus didn't dare to be careless, raised his wand and cast it to speed up, the green light on his body floated again, and at the same time adjusted his breathing, using the martial art "Wind Walk", and chased after Kenneth again.

This time, Marcus couldn't catch up with Kenneth. It's not just that his reaction is a second slower, it's that Kenneth's speed has increased again.

Although Hephaestus was still in his infancy at this time, this short awakening gave Kenneth great benefits, the protection of the fire dragon was improved, and the power of the dragon was strengthened, so at this time, Kenneth's physical body had been strengthened again, and his spiritual power had suddenly increased to the level of a third-order magician.

When Kenneth received the ball falling from the sky, Marcas was still about six meters behind him, and the difference in speed was already visible.

Facing Kenneth, who only took three or four seconds to appear in front of him, the two defenders and goalkeepers of McGee's team did not react at all, to be precise, they did not expect that their captain could not stop Kenneth's attack, so they just hurriedly tried to cast an earthen wall technique to block Kenneth, but they had already heard the sound of football entering the net.

After the opening 20 minutes (not counting the timeout), the deadlock on the field was finally broken, and it was the Phil team who scored two fewer points than the opponent to take the lead, causing an uproar in the audience.

Kenneth turned to look at the gloomy Marcas, and his figure appeared in front of him as soon as he moved: "I'm telling you, in this game, your McGee team won't even get a point." ”

After saying that, he ignored Marcus and ran straight back to the right side of the court to hug Brandon.

Marcas was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth and kicked the grass in hatred, "What the hell happened to that guy?" How could the speed suddenly speed up?! ”

Two of McGee's defenders ran up to Marcus and asked, "Captain, what to do?" ”

"I'm going to stop him! Defend against their last game! It must have been just a coincidence! Marcas was unconvinced and said to the two defenders.

The two defenders looked at each other, then nodded hesitantly.

So, in the last ten minutes of the first half, because of Marcas's refusal to admit defeat, the McGee team did not change their strategy, allowing the Phil team to score ten goals in a row and enter the break with an 11-0 record.

What's even more terrifying is that McGee didn't even manage to score the opponent's field once.

Marcas, who was sitting in a chair in the lounge area, had only a dead gray look on his face.
