Chapter 122: Berserk Breegoria (1/2)
Around this time, outside the painting, everyone was surprised to see a new name on the list of top highest points.
The new person had the codename of The Mysterious. A participant with a number of 1500.
”Eh? He got the last number for being registered,” one of the audience said.
”In any case, who is this The Mysterious person?”
”His points suddenly rose up into the fourth place.”
”I heard that the top 3 participants who complete this round with the highest points will get an extra reward,” someone in the audience remarked.
”Really?!”
”Yes!”
”Woah! Her majesty the empress not only has an unparalleled beauty but she's a generous person also!”
”Right!”
”Long live her Majesty Empress Elleanna Encanta!”
Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live! For some reason, the people in the public square suddenly chanted the words. This put a smile on the empress's face.
”Ehehe, is this one of the reasons that you are doing this competition, Aunt?” Ella giggled at the people's love for her empress aunt.
”Ufufu, this is just a bonus,” replied the empress with a bright smile on her eyes. She took a sip of her tea. But under the veil of her bright smile was a worry.
”Hmm….. who might this Mysterious person be? In any case, that person… I mean your guard has gone for a couple of minutes now, and it seems he's still inside. I wonder where that person is hiding...” the empress added.
Ella pushed the cup of tea towards her mouth while giving a side glance at her aunt. She knew who she meant by 'that person'. Honestly, she was surprised to see the new announcement of points that were currently displayed on every monitor. Because she knew who this person was with the codename of The Mysterious. In the first place, she was the one who made the registration for him. And she was the one who chose the name.
Ella also was wondering if where that person was right now, her Monitoring Devices could not catch sight of him in these past minutes. On the other hand, his points suddenly soared high.
Even in that area where high-ranking beasts were roaming everywhere, he was still able to accumulate such points! He really wasn't an ordinary person!
Her curiosity towards him stepped to a new height.
After a couple of minutes in the public square, ”I wanted to bet for The Mysterious person!” A beardy old Demihuman shouted.
Aside from him, no one else wanted to vote for him. After all, no one knew who this The Mysterious person was. For most of them, it's better to bet their money to the most well-known and had a tested strength, than try their luck to the unknown individual.
So currently, from the audiences, the person who had the biggest accumulated bet as of now is no other than Roman, Gath Rainripper, and Hilion Gustav. Followed by Lyka and Harou of the Lowe family, then Ember Lupine and Gilion Gustav.
But what they were betting on was, whoever entered first to the last barrier would win!
At this point, Roman and the others were already near the second barrier. If not because of some Spiritual Beast that hindered their advance they probably already have entered the second barrier long ago.
Although Roman was a strong expert of 5-star False Path, he needed to take a detour from time to time in order to regain his spent mana. This second boundary was littered with high ranking beasts.
Nonetheless,
The beardy Oldman was being urged by his friends to bet on The Mysterious person.
They were singing praises about The Mysterious, that there was once a rumor about him beating some high ranking beast alone. That this Mysterious person was actually a popular person from the far village, he was a strong person that no one ever defeated him yet.
This kind of song of praises was of course a big farse. In truth, this old man was a noble who loves gambling, though he has never been able to win even once.
Actually, these two friends of his would occasionally urge him to bet on someone they praised while in truth the two of them would bet to the other side.
In this regard, they could win a great sum of money, because this old beardy noble was a big spender.
A money bag for them.
Like the other time, again they successfully urged him to bet on the wrong person. While on the other hand, they put their bet to Roman. In this regard, the amount they could win would increase.
They had a successful grin under the veil of a trusted looking friend. Their anxious hands were rubbing each other as they were excitedly waiting for the result. And in their minds, they planned in advance where to spend their money after.
Kukukukuku!
Their silent chuckle echoed in their minds.
Inside the painting,
”Gwaaaaarrrr!!”
Bang!
Like a monster, Breegoria charged forward full of killing intent. But his massive ax hit the ground only.
Bang!
A huge figure was hit at the back by a flying kick and was sent flying like a thrown boulder.
His body skidded on the ground and caused the dust to hover in the air.
With a shocked expression, he slowly pushed his body to get up. He glanced ahead of him and saw that person just landed on the ground.
What—?
The person who had the weakest magical aura could kick like that?! Breegoria could not believe it.
Around them, his men were still squirming on the ground like some worms.
Puzzled by what happened to them, he charged blindly to trample these enemies. The barrage of Hot Needles from the bees was shot at him. But those puny needles were nothing to his hardened skin.
He scoffed and immediately brandished his huge ax in hand towards the person with the weakest Magical
Aura.
However, that person suddenly disappeared from his sight and he was sent flying instead when something hit his back. And his ax clattered a few steps away from him.
Berlin stopped on his feet while looking at his boss with a gaping face. Never did someone was able to knockback Breegoria with bare strength. He looked back at the cause of it. At his front about 25 steps away from him, the person stood in front of his group.
Looking at the expression on their faces, it seemed like they already expected it to happen.
They even have a tired look. 'What's with their confidence look! Do they have any idea who Breegoria is?! He is a 2-star False Path expert!'
He roared inside. After thinking such, Breegoria stood up with bloodshot eyes and dark red energy was oozing from his body.
”Breegoria is serious! He is in his Berserk Mode!” Berlin blurted.
”.....Berserk Mode?” Cinder repeated his words.
”Do you know about it Lady Cinder?” Asked Tiafel.
”Hmm….. this ability was most common to the Boarman. Their strength, speed, defense, magical defense, and etcetera will increase!” Cinder said.
After all, Wolfmen was an old rival of Boarman so it was natural to most of the Wolfmen that they would know about it.
