Chapter 99 - 99 : Overconfidence Leads to Death (1/2)
The plan was simple for Arthur, he was going to participate in the junior fights. They were meant to just exchange pointers and learn from each other, however, everybody knew that it was not that but it's just for the powerful factions to flaunt their powers and see who from their juniors is better, after all, the younger generation is the future of these factions.
The real appearance of Arthur was of a handsome middle-aged man, with his hear turning grey and his breakthrough, it changed his appearance. Anyone from his previous life would certainly not recognize him if he saw him now.
As for the body he possessed, he purposely chose a young body of a youth, it looked like a 19-20-year-old young man with short black hair and an average facial features. He maintained a deadpan expression as he sat next to Lucy.
There plan was thought after thinking for a long time, it wasn't just the usual 'win all these fights' and try to impress the older generation or claim for a good reward or even try to frighten the enemy with his power. No, their plan began the moment all the strong figures appeared, Lucy began channeling her Nine Yin Star Technique and preparing her skill.
As for Arthur, he first sat next to her and when all of the powerful experts arrived, he walked to the area where the juniors gathered and sat randomly at an empty table.
There was a middle-sized arena in the middle of the garden, which was meant for the youths to battle, an array was layed there to prevent the after-effects or the explosion from the fights to reach the spectators.
”Ha ha ha, thank you all for coming to this Grand Banquet, as all of you know, there has been a lot of spatial turbulences these past years, so it is very likely to be a lost world that has been directly or indirectly connected to our world, I wonder what are your thoughts about this?”
Jizung, who is the main host of this banquet, finally spoke to the 6 figures sitting next to him, his voice was not very loud but even the people sitting below could clearly hear his old but spirited voice.
”Old Jizung is right, it is quite strange for this many turbulences to occur, it is precisely why I came to the Underworld. The appearance of a lost world may bring a lot of benefits to whoever enters it.”
Azure Bai spoke his opinion as he was speculating about this world, the turbulences were only part of the reason he came here, but he was not planning to tell the full truth to these people, on the outside they may be his friends, but only the granny from the Lightning Fox clan was a dear friend of his.
”Senior Bai is right, an opportunity like this cannot be missed.”
Kilan, being the clever and ass-kisser that he is, started agreeing with Bai Lingyue right away, it was very apparent that he wanted to build a friendly relationship with Bai but it didn't appear that the latter was impressed or pleased with this Monster Race leader.
”It is not yet confirmed that it's a lost world, and even if it was, do you think it'll be easy to access it? Just the location of these Spatial turbulences is very troublesome!”
The red-haired Meyzu was not in the mood for banquet or chitchatting, he wanted to just finish talking and get done with this banquet sooner than later.
”Hmpf! Obviously, we know, or why else would we have gathered here?”
The granny, who appeared to be so old that she would die at any second, snorted and sarcastically replied to Meyzu. Despite her appearance, she was the clan master of the Lightning Fox and her strength was no lower than Meyzu, it could even be said that she's stronger despite being in the same Realm and Grade as she was way older than him, so whether it's her wisdom, knowledge or fighting strength, she is beyond him.
Meyzu had an angry look on his face but he didn't dare retort, he just stayed silent and waited to hear the other opinions.
All people have talked beside Aborak, who remained since he came here. He was the most reclusive and strange out of all of them, despite the Undead Race having some small wars with the other factions, his name is not widely spread as never participates in these things. Even when the Race is offended or provoked, he would sit still and ignore what happened.
It may sound surprising, but except Kilan, no one saw Aborak fight, however, just by the fact that Kilan didn't provoke or talk to Aborak, one could know that he is not someone to mess with. The Monster Race and the Undead Race had long since been enemies, they would wage wars for small lands or simple treasures, Kilan was someone very tricky and annoying yet he didn't directly provoke Aborak, so the others were wondering how powerful this skeleton Lich King really is.
Everyone shifted their gaze to Aborak, as he is the one who had yet to speak his thoughts. His face was still blurry with two purple lights emanating from his lifeless eyes, no one would deny his creepy and ominous atmosphere around him.
”The location of the turbulence is deep into the Abyss Valley, I and my Race will neither help you or get involved, you simply don't know what you guys are doing by dividing deep into the Behemoth's territory, it's simply seeking death!”
