Chapter 144: Another Victory and Major Changes
When the light of the fireball technique shot into his eyes, the warden on the high platform felt a beat in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he is a layman, although he has not seen a few mages cast spells, everything in the world has something in common. Seeing the ease with which Rhodes raised his hand to cast the fireball technique while dodging the tiger's attack, Bona instinctively had such a premonition even if he had never been exposed to magic: these two beasts were afraid that they would still not be able to kill him nine times out of ten.
The audience exclaimed, many people had already heard of the magic of the martial arts champion, but the feeling of witnessing it was still quite shocking...... With such a versatile and omnipotent young man, it seems reasonable to say that he can assassinate the king?!
The fireball quickly formed and expanded in the palm of the boy's hand, regardless of what the people around him thought, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to the size of an apple and could be ejected.
A hint of fear flashed in the tiger's eyes, and the beast that lived in the dense forest had an instinctive psychological fear of bright and hot things, and it stopped and stared at Rhodes, while the boy also stood still so as not to pull away and affect the hit rate......
The beast that had grown up in the wild had never seen magic, and it didn't know that the glowing thing in the hands of a human could fly, let alone that it would almost certainly be hit at such a close distance.
And once hit, no matter how violent and powerful non-magical beings are, they must obediently surrender to the power of the attack spell.
But the unlucky guy next to him jumped out and took a slap for him—the lion had been pacing not far behind Rhodes, and he didn't see the fireball in the boy's hand in front of him, and it was much less sensitive and afraid of light when it lived on the prairie. It saw that the man and the tiger had all stopped, and although it did not know why, it still instinctively seized the opportunity, quietly went around the young man's back, and quickly pounced on him.
Rhodes had aimed at the giant tiger in front of him, and the fireball was almost out of his hand, but at the last moment, he heard the sound of rapid movement of objects behind him, and in a hurry, he threw the fireball that had just formed over his shoulder and behind him, and at the same time bent down and lowered his body, rolling sideways on the ground to dodge......
"Boom-" The power of the fireball spell that was not yet fully prepared was not amazing, but the male lion was unlucky enough to hit it head-on, a ball of fire enveloped its head in an instant, and the mighty and luxuriant mane became the accomplice of the spellcaster, and the heat released by the fireball spell ignited them, turning the front half of the lion's body into a torch, and successfully activating the power of the fireball technique to the maximum.
......
The beast's howl of pain and despair resounded throughout the arena, and even those who were far away a street could hear the lion's scream, which rolled on the ground as it cried and tried to extinguish the flames, while the tiger, who had escaped with it, seized the opportunity to rush forward and knock the young man to the ground, who had been thrown off balance by the aftermath of the fireball explosion.
Screams rang out from the audience, timid women covered their eyes in fright, and Rhodes felt like he was going to die the moment he fell to the ground. The front paws of the beast stepped on the chest, and they could be felt through the spider silk clothes, the tiger opened the blood basin and bit Rod's neck, the young man raised his hand to block it, and the forearm suddenly fell into the beast's mouth, and the upper and lower jaws suddenly closed under the drive of the bite muscles, and the sharp teeth pierced into the clothes and drove the spider silk soft armor deep into the skin and flesh until the bones stopped, Rod bared his teeth in pain, and his left hand punched with all his strength under the threat of his life, and the faint fighting light on his body that was almost invisible shone suddenly with this action, and with a muffled sound that everyone could hear, the behemoth that was three meters long and weighed several times that of the teenager was actually beaten up, and let go of his mouth.
Rhodes himself was a little surprised, but he quickly realized the reason - the strength of this beast was not as great as he imagined, and the strength of his artificial body was far greater than he had expected!
As long as he takes care to avoid the vital points, he doesn't have to be afraid of this big cat!
He covered his neck with his wounded arm, and his left arm exerted a frenzied force, punch after punch, and the fist, which did not look thick and white like a girl, landed on the face, chin, neck, chest, and abdomen of the beast that pressed against him—all he could, and the tiger raised his front paws to resist a few blows, but at last he could not bear the beating, and jumped away from the boy with a whimper, and dodged far away.
It has killed and eaten people in the double digits, and knows all about the hairless ape that keeps itself in a cage, but this time it has encountered hard stubble...... The cheeks that had been punched were swollen to the point that they could even interfere with vision, blood was dripping from their noses, their necks were injured, and they couldn't breathe well...... For a while, he was full of embarrassment, and completely lost the majestic appearance of the king of beasts at the moment before.
It could never have imagined that the delicious prey it was chasing with all its might a moment ago would be such a guy with amazing attack power.
Although it is hungry, it is far from the extent that it will die if it does not eat today, and a little skin trauma in the wild environment may also cause death, unless it is cornered, otherwise the prey that is easy to cause injury has always been the last target that the predator is willing to touch, and it gave up the prey.
Over there, the flames on the lion's body that had been hit by the fireball technique had been extinguished in the tumbling, and the originally majestic king of the steppe was lying on the ground like a dead dog at this moment. The King of the Forest, who was much larger, trotted around the only human in the field with his tail between his tail and his head down, bleeding as he trotted around the distance, and even tried to get in when he passed by the small gate that he had entered...... Although there were no deaths, the results were clear.
Rod held his injured right arm and looked at everyone on the rostrum with undisguised hatred.
......
"Very well, it seems that your dwarven friend is innocent, let him go. ”
Hawke's mouth was free, the rope tied to his body was loosened, and he stared angrily at the arena master: "What about Rolick, how many times do you want to judge him in the name of those bullshit gods?"
"It depends on the mood. Arnold snorted and didn't answer his question, and several staff members carried the dwarf out.
"Two gods in a row think that you are innocent, today is not your death time, now obediently be tortured again, I promise not to embarrass you and your friends. ”
The prison warden reluctantly spoke: "Arnold, what we said was good was ......"
"Boena, what's wrong with you, why do you look like you want to put him to death?" the countess looked at the warden dissatisfied: "It's all your own people here, don't talk about the king's assassin or anything like that, even if he is really an assassin sent by Kellros, he is not destined to be executed by us today." ”
"I don't care who killed King Elite, do you know how much profit this little guy has brought to the arena today, the net profit is not less than a hundred gold dragons!" the arena owner also spoke with a radiant face, "As a dividend, Bona will get a tenth." But either way, please stop the monkey rushing to kill this child, I will find a way to get more and better fighters and beasts from the surrounding area...... Tomorrow, we will earn even more. ”
(Who cares about your ten golden dragons' dividends, I've already gotten fifty times that.) The warden sneered disdainfully, but suddenly remembered the remaining five hundred, whom the man who had come to him in the name of Duke Tully had promised to send before dark, but had not yet found himself...... Since the rest of the money hasn't been paid yet, why rush to finish the work?
"Well, then I'm looking forward to a more exciting trial tomorrow. Thinking about this clearly, the warden nodded and said insincerely, but he was wondering in his heart, the person who can give a deposit of five hundred gold dragons casually will not rely on the remaining half of the account, where is that guy going now?
......
The warden couldn't wait for the remaining five hundred gold dragons, because the leader of the Narig spies, who had promised to send him money, had already set foot on the road back to his homeland at this time. In the afternoon, when Rhodes was "tried" to death, he received even more shocking news from the south from the intelligence network - at least 50,000 elite troops of the Midland Empire had quietly completed the assembly without the knowledge of the outside world, and had crossed the border line and marched into the territory of Antaili at this time, and by noon they had already surrounded the border town of Pitar, and at this moment they might be launching a fierce attack.
The Second Civil War had begun, but it did not take the slightest credit to him.
