Ehud flew from the stage and soon crashed onto the wall of the spectator's stand. No one was able to see his figure yet since dust clouds covered the crashing site.
Tens of meters away from where Ehud had crashed on, Erson could be seen slowly walking towards his location. His lance was positioned to his left side, ready to defend whenever Ehud would suddenly launch an attack again.
As soon as the dust cloud settled down, everyone could finally see Ehud's sorry figure lying at the very center of a web-like cracked wall. He was coughing out a mouthful of blood while gasping for air to breathe. In the next moment, his entire body fell to the ground. As his legs were now very weak to remain standing, he couldn't help himself from kneeling on the ground.
Minor and severe wounds could be seen almost around the entire body of Ehud, with blood continuously oozing out from them.
”I...”
As much as Ehud wanted to not admit his defeat, but with the current state of his body, he knows for certain that even if he stands up and continue to fight, he wouldn't be able to handle even a single finger push from Erson. Anyways, he had already tried his very best in this fight and didn't even hold back anything.
Looking at Erson currently walking towards him, Ehud slowly formed a smile on his face. Basing on how much damage he had caused Erson, he can rest assured that he had done a lot of improvements compared to his previous battles with him. In the past, despite their similar cultivation level of 5-Star Mage, the farthest he could go against Erson was only a few exchanges. This was because the latter knows plenty of techniques when using his Magic spells, which was obviously the main reason why he had still lost the fight.
While Ehud was comforting himself, the entire crowd watching the fight from the spectator's stand immediately erupted in loud cheers. Regardless of who they have supported before the fight, they all celebrated for Erson's victory.
The supporter of Erson, in particular, was the loudest of all. They began chanting Erson's name in rhythm as if they have already planned this beforehand.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Erson finally arrived a few meters of distance away from Ehud. He slowly closed his eyes, trying to carve this triumphant scene to the most important part of his memory. As soon as he opened both of his eyes, his hand holding the lance instantly shoot forward and right after began swinging the lance as if making it dance in celebration. The moment he stopped, he said to Ehud, ”I win!”
Sitting inside one of the VIP rooms, Leo can't help shaking his head after seeing Erson's action and saying, ”No wonder a considerable amount of people called you a show-off!”
The way Erson had acted just now was as if he was playing the main character of a theater show after defeating the greatest villain of the story.
Only Fate knows why exactly Erson was acting like this, but it doesn't need one to ask Fate in order to know what the consequences of the action would result in.
Instantly, numerous booing sounds erupted from the spectator stand after seeing Erson showing off his skill with the lance, especially the loyal supporters of Ehud.
In their opinions, Erson's action was like insulting, or worst, an act of disrespect to a great Mage like Ehud. After all, Ehud still gave them a good fight to watch. Although from the very beginning until the end, Ehud was being suppressed by Erson, every single time he was still able to break free from it through the most admirable and exciting scene he could possibly show to them.
Such an action of never conceding and giving up was worthy of their respect and support.
In fact, even a few supporters of Erson can't help shaking their heads as they found his action a bit out of place. If he wanted to show-off, do it in a theater show, not in the arena, especially not after defeating Ehud.
Erson was instantly dumbfounded after seeing the sudden turn of events. He could only turn to look at Ehud as if asking the latter for an answer.
But, it was very obvious just from Ehud's expression alone that even if he does indeed know of the answer to Erson's question, he wasn't planning on telling him so that he could at least rejoice at his unfortunate situation.
In Ehud's mind, he thought, ”You might have won the fight, but you have lost the hearts of the spectators!”
Back inside the VIP room, Elmont and the others were also feeling the same as the majority of the spectators right now.
