Chapter 424 - The next tier (2/2)

Although the beast wasn't hurt, it had fallen down and was on its back due to the hit being off balance when making the attack. Quickly, Ray took the sword out from his mouth. Using all the Ki he could possibly gather, he jumped in the air, doing a spin of his own adding momentum, and finally a strike was made towards the neck.

The sword at first seemed to struggle but Ray wouldn't let the fight continue, he couldn't he needed it to end then and there. Using all the Ki he could gather in his body, without relying on the mana steal. He was eventually able to cut through the beast's neck.

Its legs and arms soon stopped moving around as the beast was defeated. But it wasn't the only thing that was completely beat. As for Ray, who was now on the floor gasping for air, it had indeed been a long time.

He had used far too much Ki in his last attack, and his body needed to recover. The crowd cheered at the new contestant that was able to defeat a king tier beast. They hadn't seen many over the years, and now they knew of two people.

Although Ray seemed more troubled when going up against the beast, people knew that style made fights. There would often be some beasts that another would be able to deal with easily. Just because one person could beat a type of beast yet another couldn't, didn't mean they would win a one-on-one duel.

As for Ray though, he was upset about the results. In the end he felt like he had cheated himself, for he had used his gauntlets when fighting and not the sword.

[King tier crystal obtained 1]

At least there seemed to be some rewards that he had received for the whole thing. The reason why he had come to the arena in the first place was to gather king tier crystals for his evolution, and it seemed like it was working.

[Would you like to absorb the king tier crystal]

[Yes]

[8/100 king tier points received]

Absorbing the crystal, allowed for Ray to gain his lost stamina, his body started to almost instantly feel better. He knew this was the effect of absorbing the crystals and now if he wanted to, he was ready to fight again.

A few seconds had passed and now the crowd was chanting something else. They continued to shout out the next tier beast.

”Emperor, Emperor, Emperor.”

”Let's see, will you try to go past me? Roki said in excitement!”
