Chapter 448 - Brocken Promise (2/2)

What Ray had performed was a Ki blast attack. Before in the past, Ray wouldn't use Ki as much as he was doing now. The reason being, Ki and mana were treated the same. If he used too much Ki, then he wouldn't have enough mana to perform his magic skills as well.

Now he no longer had to worry about that.

The other warriors had repositioned themselves, to get on the other side where Bob was. After all, there were eleven of them and only one of him. Even when fighting three at once they could see the man was suffering injuries. It encourged them, making them feel like they could defeat the man.

The more other warriors came in to attack Ray once again, and the old man had managed to pull his spear out using his own ki. When the two were ready to attack, the old man with his spear proceeded to do the same thing again, only this time. He chose not to go so deep. He had injured him before, and this time he would try a different method.

Once again, Ray decided the best choice was to take the upcoming attack. However, the old man allowed the spear to only go through the armour and slightly pierce the skin. Then right after, he would take the spear out, and stab continuously.

After Ray had delved a ki blast to the next two, he knew he needed to deal with the spear user, but the old man had anticipated this and decided to jump back. While he was holding onto Bob, it was hard for him to move.

Ray could twist and turn, but running after people was too much. Still, the old man looked at the floor, and could see four defeated warriors that were supposedly the best of the best from the other kingdoms. At the same time, he also had done all this while holding onto Bob.

Not only that, but he was fighting them all at once.

Now, Ray was bleeding quite heavily from all his punctures on his body. The blood being a slight red, but mostly dark as if black in colour.

In the heat of the moment, the old man didn't really notice it, but now when he looked at the tip of his spear. The blood was certainly darker than most.

”You….what are you?” The old man said in fear.

His eyes had met with Ray's, and a cold chill entered his body. His forehead started sweating. This man had yet to even show them everything he had. If he wasn't holding on to Bob. He had no clue how much longer they would last.

”What is happening here.” A voice from the back said.

The old man didn't want to turn around to see who it was, he felt if he broke eye contact with Ray for a second, he would be devoured there and then.

However, the person naturally walked in front of him.

”Do you not remember our promise, young man.” The person who was walking forward and who had spoken. Was none other than Roki from the arena. ”You said we would fight the Emperor tier beast. Compete together, did you not?”

Roki looked at the young man in front of him. He was standing strong, but he was covered in wounds. He was more hurt than he looked. If he was to fight the emperor tier beast, he would need to do so in the best of conditions. A sad feeling entered his heart as he started to think that Ray would perhaps have to quit.

”Let him go!” Savana said, as she had regained consciousness from the blow before. ”We don't know where your friends are. We saw them in the Flower tavern the other day. That's the last time we saw them!” She cried. ”We just made a stupid bet, a stupid bet. Please just let him go.”

Hearing that, and looking at Roki. Ray finally let go of Bob, who instantly fell to the ground. He was still conscious, but he refused to get up in front of such a monster.

Instead of walking towards the arena, Ray instead had turned around and started to walk back towards Roki. The other warriors who had yet to join in all drew their weapons out of fear.

When Ray finally met up with Roki he had few words to say.

”I'm sorry, I won't be taking part in this event. I have to save them.” Ray said, and he was off running in the opposite direction.
