Chapter 437 - Quicker time (2/2)
It was a fairly large, Fox like creature, that had an elemental ability of fire. Using Ki in his sword, Roki was able to deflect the attacks hitting the flames back at it.
Even if it could produce fire, it didn't mean it was immune to its attacks. Finally, Roki had managed to finish it off after hurting it enough with its own attacks and slamming his sword in its head.
Seeing such a perfect performance, the crowd wasn't excited to see Ray now, but were excited wondering if Roki was going to take on the emperor tier beast.
”Sir, should we allow Roki to move onto the next stage, or proceed as planned with the alternate style. The contestant known as Nes hasn't been doing the best today.” The man said.
Two men were in the glass booths watching the arena. It was the owner talking with one of his men. It was true that now the excitement had moved on and the owner was trying to decide what to do. He too could tell Ray was strange today, but what could be the reason.
It took a long time for him to decide, but in the end, he had chosen to go with his gut.
”Let's stick to the normal schedule, besides it will give time for Roki to rest if he does choose to go against the emperor beast.”
Finally, it was time for Ray to go against the king tier beast. He walked out onto the arena floor and there weren't the usual cheers as they were yesterday. It wasn't quite, but it was as if they were just watching some in-between entertainment until they got to the real show.
The gates were opened and Ray was to wait for the king tier beast to appear.
'What am I doing here?' Ray thought. 'I need to get stronger, yes, but why am I messing around with this stupid sword. I'm just waiting time.'
The fire Fox had entered the ring, and Ray had placed his sword away. Seeing this the crowd felt like his actions were odd. They could then see him walking towards the fire fox, slowly.
'No more playing games, I need to get out of here.' Ray thought.
A fire ball was shot towards him and everyone there including Roki was expecting him to move, but he did nothing. Allowing the flame ball to hit him completely, for a second they could see a human figure covered in flames, but moments after a man walking out of them. He had burn marks over his body and such, but was hardly hurt and was walking as normal.
Ray had recently gained the fire resistance skill and due to his high amount of stats in the fire element, the Fox's attack hurt, but he knew it wouldn't kill him.
Then when Ray was close enough, using the Ki in his legs, he leapt forward, readied his fist as hard as he could and slammed it right into the Fox's face. The Fox was a large beast, and the audience couldn't believe what they were seeing, how could a human have such strength, to fling something so large to the other side of the arena.
Ray wasn't done there. He continued to move forward, hitting the Fox over and over. It tried to swipe its paws at Ray, but using his strong gauntlets and strength he was able to block the attacks. Hitting them away and his gauntlets remained unscathed.
Another fire ball was shot at Ray, but he took it head-on once again. Hurting him but not enough to do any real damage and with it, he was able to deliver the final push, slamming the Fox's head into the side of the arena wall and forming a large crater at the same time.
At that point, Ray had stopped hitting the Fox and started to walk away. He knew the match was over. And it was with a time, that was far faster than Roki's.
