317 The Five Minutes is Up (1/2)

Once Krune and Ruik arrived in the open Field, the City Guards opened the circle and gave Ruik and his opponent enough space to fight.

Krune looked at the Lavara Falimy Group Leader and remembered one thing.

”Oh, right! I still haven't asked your name.”

”Lahain Lavara.”

Krune nodded and then went to a corner to watch the show. The guards also kept a close look at him to make sure he wouldn't escape during the battle. But as far it seemed, Krune looked like he already knew the result.

The Captain of the City Guards Group came forward, and the said.

”You know the rules, so I won't waste my time with this shit.”

”Start!”

Lahain then started to gather Spiritual and Elemental Source energy when suddenly, he heard a voice coming from his side.

”The five minutes is up, the challenger has lost.”

Lahain almost vomited blood! The five minutes were up? What is he even talking about? They didn't use even five seconds, let alone minutes!

Lahain looked at the City Guard Captain.

”Are you fucking me up? How come five minutes are gone? neither of us has made a single move yet!”

The Captain didn't care, though.

”If I said that five minutes is up, then five minutes is up. In this city, the City Guards are the Law! I'm too lazy to wait for the real Five Minutes to pass, and neither do I care about who wins. So the five minutes are up!”

Ruik, on the other side of the Field, smiled at Lahain and said.

”Don't be too sad, this is a No Laws Zones, so even the city guards Laws don't have much of a meaning. Anyway, I just want all your belongings, and then you can leave.”

Lahain was on the verge of exploding already. He looked at the City Guard Captain and complained.

”Even if laws have no meaning here, the City Lord Challenge Tokens are not to be defied! Are you really going to simply ignore the City Lord Rules?”

The Captain shrugged his shoulders and said.

”As if anything that a punny Divine Soul Realm said could possibly reach the City Lord's ears. Hahahaha!”

The Captain then looked Ruik and said.

”You there, half of the things that this idiot here has is mine, are you okay with that?”

Ruik laughed as well and said.

”But of course! I was able to make it big without lifting a single finger, why should I mind it?”

Lahain still couldn't accept that situation, but he couldn't possibly act against this City Guard Captain. First, his family would pay for his transgression, and second, he isn't possibly a match for this Captain. He would be courting death if he attacked now.

Lahain then looked at his subordinates on the side, but all of them looked away. It was evident that they didn't want to have anything to do with this situation.

Still, Lahain didn't want to give up now. He decided that since he was going down, he might as well bring Ruik with him.

He tried to reach his swords inside his Spatial Ring when suddenly, he noticed that he couldn't connect to it.

”I can't open my Spatial Ring? Why?”

The City Guard Captain just kept smiling at him as if nothing was happening.

”Something isn't right.”

Lahain then spread his Divine Sense as far as possible. At the Peak of the Divine Soul Realm, his Divine Sense could go over 150km. But when he did that, he noticed that the city itself didn't extend for more than 20 kilometers. After that range, there was nothing! What was even more impressive is that he couldn't see this 'void' with his eyes at all! Only his Divine Sense could perceive that 'void.'

”This...”

It was then that he looked at Ruik, who was laughing on the other side of the Field.

”It was you! Where did you bring me? Where is this place?”

Ruik then stopped and said.

”What are you talking about? We never left that Field even for a second. At this moment, you are staying still right in front of everyone doing absolutely nothing. Oh, by the way, four minutes have passed already.”

Only now did Lahain understood the situation he was in, this place isn't reality. Somehow, he was pulled inside some kind of illusion. An incredibly lifelike one!
