Chapter 139 - Lost Hits (1/2)

Luke was very breathless with the speed he had to use to dodge and attack the Golem God and strike Suiyan, but he was happy that he was able to defeat them in the end.

The audience was in awe at Luke's agility, and even though he was a half-beast, people exploded in excitement at his victory.

”How the fuck did he manage to dodge that huge thing!!!?”

”Is he really human!!!? Do half-beasts have enhanced reflexes or something?! Why doesn't anyone talk about it?

”He's fucking awesome!”

”That was a really good fight! The guy actually managed to defeat someone who has a Summoner using only basic skills!”

”I think the guy should think long and hard before using such a bold title like 'The Champion'! The guy didn't even make it to the round of 16 this time! Hahaha!”

The Golem God became just a mountain of sand from the moment the Elf collided with the illumination crystal and decayed. Following the guidance that Ayumi passed to him, Luke quickly checked if the boy was okay.

The half-wolf looked around and saw no medical staff, so he opened his inventory and took a healing potion; after all, it would be terrible if the Elf died. This gesture was seen in a good light by one part of the crowd and in a different way by others. Doing good is not always the decision that will please the most.

Soon, Mikaela's hologram appeared in the middle of the ring again. ”Now, we finally have our first contestant to move on to the next stage, but don't be discouraged, because we still have a night full of fights left. And the next underdogs will be...”

The two cubes announcing the names appeared and began to spin at high speed. When they stopped, the Sensory Maga announced:

”Shiro versus Nebezial!!!”

The audience shouted Nebezial's name even louder, and the blue flags waved even more in the stands. As soon as Luke blinked, he was no longer in the Arena and was teleported back to his place in the participants' bleachers.

Nathalia stood on the ledge of the bleachers and smiled as she saw that the half-wolf was true without a scratch. ”Come here. Shiro is the one who is going to fight now, and I learned that he has many fans in Oukiwa.” The Elf said with a mischievous smile.

The half-wolf approached the ledge and saw that the sand in the ring was spread out as before and that Suiyan had disappeared from the shining stone, but Luke didn't think much about where he went because his attention was captured by the tension that could be felt coming from the battlefield.

Shiro was wearing his sturdy armor, as well as wielding his mighty Claymore. In front of him were the famous Nebezial, Kristofer's brother and Champion of an edition of the Tournament of Legends.

To Luke, Nebezial looked to be in his early thirties because he had a more robust and severe face than any of the other young participants there.

Nebezial wore blue clothes of light but also strong fabric and some parts and chains of obsidian armor. His blue hair was like Kristofer's, only a little darker, and his eyes were impossible to see because his bangs covered them.

”Are you two ready?” Mikaela inquired to the two men, who were staring at each other like animals.
