Chapter 218 - The Arena (1/2)

In the strange domain where many broken swords were buried, Roland’s repeated provocations finally got to Tagore’s head as the latter transformed into a one hundred meter long, blood-red, nine-tailed beast.

An air of extreme brutality and bloodlust spread out from his body, adding to the already uncanny environment and making it even more eery.

Roland became a little warier. He was a peak demigod powerhouse, and as a 5-star monster, he had killed more than one deity. Nevertheless, Tagore had changed his form, and he felt slightly threatened by it. It showed how fearful Tagore’s strength was.

Tagore fixed his eyes on Roland. Although Roland could not see Tagore’s eyes, he knew very well that Tagore was unhappy. He did not know what caused Tagore’s sudden outbreak. He had a vague feeling that it had something to do with the cat teaser. “Could it be… He doesn’t like the cat teaser? It was advertised as a toy that no cat can refuse… Damn it, it seems like I’ve been cheated by an advertisement once more. I’ll find a lawyer and sue the company that sells the cat teaser when I get back!”

After staring at Roland for a moment, Tagore lowered his eyes a little, and they landed on the cat teaser. Almost at the same time, he growled angrily at Roland and attacked him.

Roland noticed the movement in Tagore’s eyes which allowed him to determine the reason for Tagore’s anger.

“It was that damned cat teaser! Whichever company sold it, they’re dead!” Roland scolded as he defended himself.

Tagore’s attack was capable of ripping space. Even in Roland’s personal domain, space still appeared to be ripped apart under Tagore’s attack. With each claw, he ripped a black gash through space. The slashes looked like irregular man-eating mouths as they kept growing and extending outward like ripples.

Attacks with spatial elements were capable of causing way more damage compared to ordinary attacks. Especially since Tagore had become bigger, each blow he made was as powerful as a peak demigod powerhouse’s attack.

Nevertheless, Roland was still able to block most of his attacks.

Roland only held a single sword in his hand. Before the terrifying black, man-eating mouth, he seemed extremely small. However, whenever one of the black fissures approached him, he would merely lift the tip of his sword and the black man-eating mouth would vanish into the ether.

Out of nowhere, an attack missed its mark and hit the ground in the distance. The terrible attack did not create a loud explosion but fell quietly into the ground. The ground, however, began to shake violently and the place Tagore had hit was left with a crack that quickly widened and spread out. After a few minutes or so, everything finally came to a halt. The attack left more than just a gully. It managed to cut the ground in half and left behind a canyon hundreds of meters wide with unforeseeable depth.

Tagore’s attack had obviously impacted the nature of Roland’s domain. In other words, as long as his attack power or cumulative attack power reached a certain point, it was likely to break Roland’s domain. In a way, he was already a powerhouse like Roland.

Having suffered three waves of such attacks in his domain, Roland knew that he could not let Tagore vent his anger however he wanted to. If his domain ended up being broken, it would be a problem as it would take time to repair. More importantly, he was in a downtown area with Tagore. The moment the domain was broken, the impact of the two demigods would wreak havoc over the large areas nearby, causing many casualties.

“I’m sorry, kitty, but I have to do this for everyone’s safety.” Roland had been defending passively all this while, and he knew it was not going to work out if things continued the same way. After cutting through Tagore’s attack with one strike, he raised his hand and pointed the tip of his sword toward Tagore.

His actions immediately alarmed Tagore as the latter was well aware of danger as well.

In fact, it was very dangerous.

The moment the tip of Roland’s sword locked onto Tagore, the ground beneath them began to vibrate, and strange murmurs began to be heard coming from the ground. It started with just a few sounds and gradually increased as it got denser. All of a sudden, a sword broke free from the ground and shot at Tagore at lightning speed. Followed by it was a second sword, then a third… Sword after sword shot out from the ground as if they were living beings. What seemed like countless colorful lightning bolts flashed through the sky as each one of them was wildly headed in Tagore’s direction.

Tagore’s gigantic body was instantly swallowed up by the thousands of long swords of various shapes…

…

Biggie stood in a round arena. He remembered clearly that he had fought in the arena before. Strange ciphertext and symbols were engraved in the middle of the arena. On the other hand, the surrounding circular stands were exactly how he remembered them.
