Chapter 149: He’s here! (2/2)
Even Roman remained quiet.
Then everyone's attention was turned to the huge skeleton, he was walking towards the Headless Boss while resting the huge scythe on his shoulders. His steps were unhurried. Like a calm boulder amidst the storm around him.
Noticing the enemy slowly approaching towards him, the Headless Boss once made a chest up pose and summoned another dense scarlet energy from within.
Then he strode towards his rival, the huge skeleton!
A second later, (TTTIIIIINNNGGGG!!!) an ear-piercing sound tinkled their ears when the scarlet blade met the huge scythe.
Then it was followed by a combo of attacks from both of them.
(Ting-ting ting ting ting…!)
Sparks were flying everywhere when their weapons repeatedly collided.
The Headless Boss' whole body exuded scarlet energy, then he made a horizontal slash and created a scarlet gust of wind that was sent toward the huge skeleton.
Then again, to repel it, the huge skeleton spun his scythe and created a wind and fire vortex.
The two opposing forces exploded and created a much larger hole on the ground. The Headless Boss leaped immediately and brandished his weapon, then the skeleton twirled the scythe around him while engulfing it with fire.
(Tiiiiiinnnggg!!!)
Another piercing sound reached their ears.
Their battle was so fast-paced that the watchers could not perceive all their movements.
The force of the collision sent both of them away from each other, about 25 meters.
”Looks like the Headless Boss will end the bout!” Shouted Anthony.
They saw the Headless Boss gathering a massive amount of scarlet energy in his left hand. A scarlet sphere that grows larger every second as more energy is reinforced on it.
Until it grew into a sphere with a diameter of two meters.
”Fuck it! What the hell is that!?”
”So huge!”
”Looks like it was the end!”
”Nah, it's also the end of us!”
”Dammit! Let's hide at Roman's back!”
”Shhh! Quiet, that's my plan...”
”.....”
The other participants started to cause commotions out of worry that they become unlucky victims
Seeing a large scarlet sphere, the hollow eye-sockets of the huge skeleton suddenly ablaze with crimson fire.
Then he lifted his cloak to the back. Everyone gasped in surprise upon seeing the 6 spheres inside his chest with different colors. Specifically, they were inside his ribcage.
”The hell is that?!”
”Are those his life force?”
”Lifeforce?”
”Isn't those his energy sources?”
”With six of them?!”
”No wonder he's too broken!”
”Noooo! These two monsters are just too powerful! Did the empress want us all to die?”
”If that happens no one will win the elimination round! For Her Grace Sake!”
Everyone lamented.
The audiences outside the painting were watching at it with solemn faces. They wondered if the empress didn't want someone to win.
On top of it, it was only the elimination round!
They focused their eyes towards the huge skeleton who lifted his right hand. And on top of it, different colors of energies were gathering.
Like the Headless Boss, the different colors of energies were forming into a sphere. And it was also growing bigger.
While watching at it, Harou was twitching his brows. He glanced at Hilion and the others. But he noticed that all of them were in trance.
”These bastards!” He grunted.
Then he called out, ”Hilion, Jura, Roman, Gilion! What are you guys waiting for?! We can't let those guys do their thing!” Harou was worried the monsters would pulverize themselves and disappeared at once when those two super dense and huge spheres fired at each other.
Jura and Hilion understood his worry. But they were wary of the other.
They did not expect that these two monsters would settle their battle with such kind of attacks.
”Right, we can't let them settle their battle in such a way!” Jura replied.
”I agree! Damn it!” Hilion bellowed.
Gilion on the other hand just nodded and Roman stayed in silence.
Mus who was hiding behind the huge golden chair was gulping with sweats trailing on his face.
”Damn damn….. I needed good timing when they fired those spheres!” He needed to rush and steal the treasures while the others were busy with the monsters.
Before everyone could make a move: BANG! Whoosh! Thud thud thud… crasssssss…!
”!!”
The towering wooden door of the room was sent flying which caught everyone's attention.
All their eyes followed the door, then out of reflex darted their eyes to where the door was supposed to be.
Tap tap tap… six people walked in from it.
”.....”
Everyone went silent.
”Hehe, he's here!” The empress giggled.
