Chapter 421 - Emporor Tier (2/2)
The beast spun again, throwing out its tail and now Roki lifting up his sword was prepared to attack the tail again.
”He has the timing right now.” Ray mumbled.
At that point, the sword was swung downard hitting the tail at the right time , to throw it of course. As the tail slammed into the ground it managed to slice around a meter deep before it completely stopped. Jumping up on the tail, Roki ran upward and across its body until it eventually reached the head.
Using all his strength, Roki empowered his sword with Ki until it was even visible to those on the outside. A faint green aura could be seen surrounding the sword, and with a single swing, the beast head had flopped onto the floor and the beast fell shortly after.
The crowd cheered in response once again and started to chant for him to move onto the next stage. Roki looked up again but unlike the last fight he was quite injured this time. Although he didn't want to disappoint the people watching him, at the same time he wasn't a fool who would risk his life for others.
Placing his sword into the ground was him signaling he would not be going on to the next round. The others knew this as they had become a frequent watcher of Roki's matches. They were hoping for the first time they would see him move on to the Emperor stage but it looked like today would not be that day. They all started to m.o.a.n in disappointment and some of them started to leave the arena completely.
”Are you going to watch the next contestant?” One of the audience members asked.
”No, have you seed the odds they gave him for the advanced tier. Do you really just want to watch someone beat a basic and intermediate tier and then give up? That's so boring.”
Many people had the same thought as the man currently speaking, which was why they had decided to leave even though there was a new contestant participating. Ray too had left the crowd as it would soon be his turn.
In the reception area, Ray was now sitting down on a wooden bench that had no back patiently. There were many people now in the reception trying to find out about the next participant. Some chose to stay while most of them left.
But then, Roki had also come out from the arena after having some of his wounds tended to and entered the reception. In a few seconds, he was completely swarmed by a crowd of people who wished to talk to him.
But he wasn't concerned about them, because while looking through the crowds of people he spotted one person sitting on the bench on his own, and it was the same person who didn't care back at the arena as well.
'Is he a contestant?' Roki thought, seeing how strangely he was acting, on top of the fact that he had beast gear all over him.
”Will the contestant known as Nes Delon please make their way to the arena floor now.” The speaker announcement spoke.
Hearing this Ray stood up from his seat and headed off towards the arena, walking right past the crowd and Roki, not even looking at them, but Roki noticed that the strange man had a smile on his face.
”Perhaps I should stay and watch his fight?” Roki thought.
