Chapter 496: Chapter 464: Betting on Fate!
Darren could feel as if he were undergoing an unprecedented trial, his soul mercilessly scorched by a blood-colored flame born from the abyss.
The “Fire Demon God” was a terrifying existence of the Apocalypse Upper Rank in the ancient times, its blood-colored raging flames unlike any fire of the mortal realm, born of the interweaving of an ancient curse and the power of the abyss, each wisp containing agony enough to shatter a soul.
Several Rhea People gazed at the blood-red flames that entwined around the giant dragon’s massive body, seeing Darren’s evil and frenzied eyes now as if stained by the blood color, revealing a both painful and resolute light.
“Good, just like that, burn him to death in one go!”
“Ao!”
The Demon Dragon’s roar shook heaven and earth, each roar as if defying fate itself, declaring war on the blood-colored flames inflicted upon it.
Although the pain deep within the soul surged like a tide, almost overwhelming Darren’s will, his eyes flashed with an even more resolute light.
Its scales trembled continuously under the searing of the fire, he clenched his teeth, allowing the blood-colored flames to continue their rampage deep in his soul, while silently absorbing the negative emotions that came with the pain.
Just then, the space around suddenly twisted.
The “Dragon Taming Lord” Aldrich Romann and “Stars Mortal” Ariel Romann, the two of them suddenly appeared simultaneously.
Following the counter-strategy long discussed, with the assistance of the Forbidden rare artifact controlled by the Cyart people, came the help from the Romann family! The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant!
“Watch out! It’s that Aldrich Romann! He never fights a battle unprepared!”
The aged noble in black cried out as everyone couldn’t help but divert part of their attention to that famous Cyart.
Aldrich himself was already a mid-level Monarch powerful expert, his strength not the strongest among many, yet he was always able to make targeted preparations.
He slowly raised his hands, activating the Forbidden rare artifact shaped like rings, and two giant dragons also surged out from the clouds beside him.
Flamme, upon seeing this scene, nodded and said, “I see, it seems you had already known we would intercept you, but this is not beyond my expectations.”
The next moment, Darren, without saying much, had already unleashed his powerful rune power.
“Soul Command!”
Darren glared viciously at Flamme Meyer, then activated the rune power Soul Command, choosing the game that was about to commence.
He revealed a maniacal smile, directly choosing the most insane and unpredictable of the six games.
“Luck Gambling!”
A transparent dice phantom appeared in mid-air, then began to spin rapidly!
The rules were simple!
If the dice roll was an odd number, then Darren would lose in the game, and if the dice roll was an even number, then Flamme Meyer would be declared the loser.
“Luck Gambling” was just that brutally simple of a game, relying entirely on luck… yet, Darren didn’t feel he would lose at all! Or rather, he was not afraid of losing!
“Hahahahahaha!”
“Come on!”
Darren tilted his haughty head upwards, enduring the greatest agony of his life, his emotions becoming even more excited and uplifting!
“Knight King of the Meyer family, Blood Flames King of the Rhea! Let us now gamble on our fates and see who the lucky one is, and who the loser is!”
“The world is so mad and cruel, the victor may not have it all, but the loser will die with no grave to his name!”
He laughed wildly, his eyes full of reckless madness, and truly without fear of entrusting his life and win or lose to luck.
Flamme, involuntarily, looked towards the continuously spinning dice in mid-air.
The dice phantom kept spinning, as if it represented the fates of the two men furiously changing together, with no way seemingly able to stop the outcome.
Darren stretched out a gigantic claw towards the dice phantom.
“Reveal!”
The next moment, the number on the dice emerged!
Four!
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
“I win!”
