After the gong sounded, the two players once again appeared on the arena stage. Of course, one was standing, and the other was a corpse that disintegrated.
The drake as well disappeared. Only his ghost resurrected a few miles away at the city's graveyard.
So the match was really over? Everyone gaped, unable to grasp what had happened. No one thought that at the top, there could be so much difference between players.
All they saw was only one skill, and the match was over just like that?
However, that was the truth.
A moment of dread-filled silence later, many of the players standing around the PVP tower cheered loudly, and a huge wave of uproar spread across the masses.
Everyone from Crimson Abyss guild and particularly everyone who had placed bets on Liam were in high spirits! Without a doubt, they were going to hit the jackpot this time!
"Sis! Did you see that? Oh my god! I have freaking goosebumps!" Rey shouted from the rooftop they were standing on.
Alex, on the other hand, remained silent. Her blood was boiling from the show of strength everyone had witnessed. Absolute domination.
Her chest lightly rose up and down as she eyed that spot Liam was standing. She also wanted to reach that place soon.
Meanwhile, high up the tower, a certain old man did not look too pleased.
Particularly after seeing the person next to him grinning, his face turned ugly, and he scoffed. "It's just getting started. What are you smiling for?"
"Sure. Sure." Grandmaster Acalan laughed softly. The two of them then turned to pay attention to Liam.
On the arena stage, Liam was staring at the ground in front of him in deep thought. There was something shiny on it.
"Hmmm… so what I guessed was correct… Luna!" He called the fox, who was happily doing several smug poses, showing off and reveling in the victory.
"Go get that." Liam shook his head helplessly. Maybe he was spoiling her too much.
Kyuuu!
The fox smugly swaggered forward to bid her master's command.
However, just as she was about to snag the item on the ground, all of a sudden a white light flashed past her, leaving behind sparkly dust in the wake.
Luna abruptly halted after seeing this. [Master, so pretty] She stared at the stardust type of thing floating in the air, which was disappearing at the same time.
The little fox couldn't take her eyes off of it. She drooled as she followed the twinkling stardust, and her eyes finally landed on the creature that was responsible for it.
A small rabbit? Food? Luna blinked.
But right in front of her eyes, the rabbit quickly grabbed the item on the floor and rushed back to Liam to return it.
All Luna, Liam, and everyone else could see was a twinkling blur. The rabbit moved at an incredible speed and dropped the item that was a bracelet. She then magically disappeared.
"Oh! I almost forgot about you!" Liam exclaimed in surprise. As many things happened after he got this little bunny, he hadn't yet completely examined it.
And from the looks of it, she can disappear and reappear just like his soul soldiers. Liam stared at the bracelet in his hand and then started walking down the stage.
This was very interesting, but on this stage, in front of all of these eyes watching him, it was not a good thing to dwell on this. Luna also followed behind him, though she did not very pleased.
And just like her, someone else was also not pleased.
Crawford stood up, kicking his chair and the table next to him that had some drinks. He used so much force that the object completely disintegrated. He was livid with anger.
"What is that? What is that? Is that an astral beast? How did he get his hands on something like that? That's a higher realm beast, for heaven's sake!"
"No. That's not even a higher realm beast. That's a mythical realm beast! How could he possibly have that? What is happening here?"
"He He" Grandmaster Acalan silently laughed. He also did not know how this happened, but it was not a bad thing, definitely not a bad thing. "Don't forget the rules, Crawford. Don't fly too close to the sun and burn yourself."
The tower master no longer wanted to hear this. After scowling angrily, he left the room in a huff without bothering to give the guy any face.
Grandmaster Acalan, however, did not seem to care about that. He casually continued sitting at the same spot and watched Liam with a twinkle in his eyes. The real fight was going to start now.
Back at the arena, Liam walked back to Mia and Derek to sit along with them. "What was that at the end? Did I see a rabbit?" Mia asked. She had only seen something run by so fast. Nothing else was clear.
"Mmm. Ya. About that, I-" Liam was going to summon the little bunny and check it out when abruptly the next gong sounded, and the next match was announced.
<Ding. Player 2 and Player 10 are requested to come to the arena stage>
"Huh?" Liam's brows shot up. Mia looked perplexed as well. Liam had only just now finished a match, and he was called again? This seemed a bit biased?
Everyone else watching the match from the outside also gasped in disbelief. Back to back matches? They could already feel their gold coins flying away.
Even Rey, who was always happy, seemed a little concerned. "This is so fucking unfair! Bro needs a break!"
Alex, on the other hand, smirked a little.
"What the hell, sis? Why are you smiling? Are you on the same team or not, damn it!" Rey twisted his lips in annoyance. His sister seemed to have a love-hate relationship with Liam.
"What are you blabbering idiot! I am not smiling." Alex scoffed.
"You are!"
"No, I am not!"
"You so are!"
"Shut up!"
"Just wait and see, my bro is going to ace all the matches."
"I also want the same thing." Alex rolled her eyes.
