Chapter 294: The rumors (1/2)

Once again, Jugo was sent crashing on the ground. his face twisted in pain as he tried to get up, baffled as to what had just happened. How was that guy able to fight back? Jugo asked himself in wonder. He could not believe it. Does it mean he still has more strength even after receiving that consecutive attacks?

What was more suspicious, it was an attack from Jugo himself. He could not believe it. A trainee from the lower class was able to withstand his attack. Did his strength become so weak that even someone from the lower class survived from it? Of course not! Not even those monsters in the floor 20 and above inside the dungeon were able to survive his attack. He did not train for nothing. He trained arduously and diligently almost every day. His skills along with his strength rose remarkably.

But why? Why was this enemy still able to survive? No, he must be lucky only. Perhaps his attack failed to hit the critical parts of the enemy. Right, it must be the reason.

He tried to find excuses as he could not bear seeing his enemy in good shape after his fury.

Jugo once again stood up. But a glint in his eyes was noticeable. His face showed a bitter expression when his eyes landed on the timer that could be seen above. It was passed one minute already and his declaration of defeating his enemy in a second had long since become history.

While Jugo was in deep pondering, the audience had random conversations.

”Hey, what had just happened?” Asked one of the audiences.

”Why are you asking me? Don't you see this puzzled face?” Replied the person beside him while pointing at his face, similarly flabbergasted as him.

”…..”

Behind them, ”Hey Ultima, that RatSlayer, is he always that tough?” Asked Vortex, who was sitting beside Ultima. He was surprised that even though the RatSlayer just got a good beating, he was still able to retaliate against his enemy. Upon knowing that RatSlayer's opponent was from the elite class, Vortex could only laugh drily and thought, 'RatSlayer's luck isn't good. He would certainly lose in the match like those other participants who lose in a few seconds.' Yet, it had already passed a minute but RatSlayer was still active on the stage! It was surprising!

He could only ask mercenary Ultima as the two of them had once teamed up in a Rat-killing mission. Ultima did not answer right away. He tried to remember if there was a chance that Yman suffered in their mission before then survived.

”Well, I don't remember him being in such a situation before. But honestly, if there was anything most noticeable about him, that is, he could maintain a cool head even in the face of dire situations,” Ultima replied honestly. ”And also, that guy, he was so merciless that you would doubt if he was another person…” Ultima added after he remembered what Yman did on those Evil Rats they encountered in the former Underground tunnel.
