Chapter 134: A true god of death

“He died… Dylan Norton actually died just like that…”

“Dylan Norton’s so powerful, but against him, the match was entirely one-sided. He got directly killed… Even an arcane master like Kleis wasn’t in time to block it. That guy… Who the hell is he!”

All the members of team Mountain Kings stood on trembling, unsteady legs.

“How did things turn out like this?”

Many girls even started crying in the stands.

Especially for Dylan’s fan groups. Every one of them was deathly pale, their minds empty. They simply couldn’t accept the scene in front of their eyes.

In theory, you gambled your life in the battles of this tournament. Severe injuries would frequently occur, even death was a possibility. But even so, the main referee, the assistant referees, or even the medical team, all of them were arcane masters standing at the peak of the entire kingdom. Injuries so severe they led to death were extremely rare. To be killed on the spot in the tournament, that was something that might not happen even once in seven or eight years, even more so.

Right now, there wasn’t a lack of powerhouses stronger than Dylan Norton in the stands. But seeing this scene with their very eyes, they all felt their scalps go cold and numb.

“Such a powerful arcane skill. He used it without the slightest restraint even though Dylan was clearly not his match.” Team Dragon Breath had already returned to the stands at this time. Seeing such a fight happen with his own eyes, captain Morgan’s expression also became unsightly. “It simply wasn’t any sort of mistake. He was simply planning to kill him to begin with.”

“At that precise instant, the expression in his eyes was simply an indifference that said he cared nothing about the life or death of his opponent.” Audrey took in a deep breath and slowly said, “And at that instant, the aura coming from him was definitely the murderous aura that someone could only have after killing many people.”

“Dylan Norton, this Lotton directly…”

All the girls in team Agate Lake were covering their mouths. None of them had the courage to look at the scene of mutilation.

“This guy Ayrin, his premonition was entirely founded. Something this frightening really happened.” Moss and the others all focused their shocked gazes on Ayrin. “Then what bout Ayrin’s feeling that that guy was staring at him, what does it mean?”

“What on earth did this guy go through to have such a fearsome aura, to be so powerful?” Ayrin was completely dumbfounded. He never thought either that such matter of life and death would occur in this match.

“Dylan!”

“Brother!”

At the edge of the field, everyone in team Hornwood had gone insane. All of them, especially Feit Norton, the other half of the Double Stars, were all desperately rushing toward the center of the field. In the end, five or six assistant referees blocked them.

A medical team hurriedly carried away the silent, mangled Dylan.

Kleis, the main referee, stared at Lotton, his gaze unwavering. But Lotton still had his absolute serenity from before the match, to the point even Kleis, when he gazed into his gray eyes, felt fright surging from the depths of his heart.

“I’m going to kill you and avenge my brother!”

Forcibly blocked by several assistant referees, Feit Norton let out a tremendous roar. Everyone felt their hearts shiver inexplicably when they heard him.

“Can we proceed with the match?”

Faced with such a roar, Lotton merely asked Kleis such a cold and detached question.

“What?”

Kleis included, everyone who heard him froze inexplicably.

He’d directly killed a member of the other team, but it actually seemed like a common occurrence for him, as if nothing exceptional had taken place.

“If you want to kill me… can’t you kill me on the tournament field, fair and square?”

Lotton slowly lifted his head and looked at all the members of team Hornwood with eyes that were looking at dead men. “In the tournament, to kill or to be killed, they’re both very fair matters… If you aren’t afraid to be killed, if you’re certain you can kill me, then shouldn’t you be even more eager to continue the match?”

A biting cold chill and fear once again engulfed almost everyone’s heart and mind.

In the stands, many teams participating in the tournament looked at each other with pale faces. They wondered, if they were the ones to meet such an opponent, would they still have the courage to stand in the field and fight him?

“If you want to kill your opponent, then you have to have the courage to gamble with the possibility your opponent might kill you instead. He directly said that, and even really did it, but the most crucial is… He’s so powerful, even a celebrity contestant like Dylan instantly died at his hands.” Moss couldn’t help looking at Ayrin. “If it were you, would you dare go and fight?”

“Of course. If I happen to face him, there’s no reason I should cower.” Ayrin nodded. “To begin with, you have to have the courage to gamble with your life in a genuine battle.”

…

On the field, Kleis’ eyes fell on the other members of team Hornwood.

“Let’s continue the match!”

Taidar, the second fighter for Hornwood Academy, shouted with bloodshot eyes.

Kleis nodded at the assistant referees blocking team Hornwood, and signaled them with his eyes as well.

He could clearly tell that Lotton was entirely different from ordinary team members, and he was certain Lotton would have no hesitation killing his opponent once again. But in the rules of the tournament, there was no provision about stopping the match in such circumstances. The only thing he could do is to let all the arcane masters acting as referee be even more vigilant, to intercept him as soon as they noticed something wrong, in order to avoid another death.

Taidar, the second contestant for Hornwood Academy, walked into the field.

He was a short stocky boy with a flat top. His intense rage made his face look a little twisted.
