Chapter 829 - : Righteous and Evil (2/2)
The crowd, initially on Xiao Luo’s side, immediately stood with the dwarves. If Xiao Luo left behind the god weapons, it would mean that they would get another chance to fight for the Phantom Dancer. On top of that, there were also the Lunar Armor and the black dagger for the taking.
“Put them down! Hurry and put them down!”
“Elder Lu Yang is right. With such character, you are unworthy of the god weapons.”
“Only warriors of righteousness are qualified to wield the god weapons, not savages like you! If the girl is with you, it means she is equally corrupted.”
The crowd shouted Lu Yang’s name and rallied behind him. They demanded that Xiao Luo put down the god weapons. Of course, they were only eyeing the god weapons Xiao Luo had in his possession with envy and desire.
Lu De held the Time-Space Bracelet in his hand as he observed Xiao Luo without saying a word. He felt disturbed and had an uneasy feeling that he should not have provoked the young man.
“Haha, haha, haha…”
In the face of the crowd’s condemnation, Xiao Luo merely shrugged his shoulders then cackled. It sounded like the devil’s taunt, sending chills into the depths of the hearts of those who heard.
His eyes swept across the crowd and he said, “Warriors of Righteousness? Do you think you are one of them?”
The question immediately silenced the voices of dissent. No one dared to look into Xiao Luo’s eyes, as none were bold enough to proclaim himself as righteous. If it had not been for the god weapons, they would never have schemed against each other in that manner.
“Of course they are!”
Lu Yang roared with great conviction as he took a step forward, then added, “But you are not! You are a savage who kills without even blinking! Lay down the god weapons and leave at once! Or else, do not blame us dwarves for any mistreatment!”
Xiao Luo glared at him and smirked wryly. “I have always respected the rules of the Dwarves and have abided by your rules. But you, however, have gone back on your promise. You are now even blatantly siding with a despicable individual who breached the rules and tried to kill me,” he said, then snarled, “Tell me then—who is righteousness and who is not?”
BOOM!
Xiao Luo delivered his last few words in a raging bellow. Immense energy erupted from his body, pushing everyone in the square back several feet away.
The Dwarven Elders on the stage also felt the terrifying energy, and the expression on each of their faces immediately changed.
The grumpy Dwarven Elder, Lu Yang, was not afraid. He continued arguing with Xiao Luo and replied, “We are righteousness, and you are evil to the core! What rights does a demon have to comment on what is righteous and what is evil?”
“Demon? Haha, haha…”
Inwardly, Xiao Luo was fuming. Did he not just kill somebody? In Arcana Land, strength was everything. At any single moment, the weak could perish in the hands of the strong. Besides, the one he killed was someone who wanted him dead. In Arcana Land, this was an acceptable response and could be considered the norm. However, the Dwarven Elder exaggerated the nature of his action, and ultimately, it pushed him toward his evil side.
Good. Very good. Excellent!
“These ignorant dwarves have completely infuriated the darn kid,” remarked the Duck Emperor. He knew things were about to take a turn for the worse. Those who angered Xiao Luo would live to regret it.
“That old geezer is wicked! No, his entire family is wicked!” hissed Ghost as she defended Xiao Luo.
As Xiao Luo’s maniacal laughter reverberated throughout the hall, his powerful aura stirred and whipped up swirling winds like a wild tornado. Sand, gravel, leaves were all swept up into the air, making it appear like a strong sandstorm had hit the massive square.
