Chapter 211 - Dueling beast (1/2)

Moving back to the arena was an experience filled with both joy and anxiety. Thinking about how much trouble did we cause to the town's mayor, I couldn't help but worry that this fight against a demonic beast was just a way to get back on us!

It was commonly known that a beast and a cultivator of a similar realm would be greatly mismatched, even with the use of weapons or fighting arts. It all boiled down to the number of hardships one had to go through to raise his prowess and the innate experience that came with all the efforts to grow.

While humans could just cultivate to absorb the free energy of the world, demonic beasts had to either feed on expensive and rare medicinal herbs or just consume the opponents of similar or higher realm to advance.

Outside of the rare cases when someone went to train in the forbidden areas and didn't bother to dissect the prey he hunted as he went, allowing the beasts to feed of the corpses, most of the mana creatures gathered in there would need to go through a lot more than humans to grow!

”Don't worry about me. Even if they bring some dangerous best, worst-case scenario, you will save me like always, won't you?”

Sending me off with a sweet smile, Eve dived inside the depths of the arena, while leaving me alone in front of the entrance to the tribunes. Unable to do anything at this point, I could only calmly go back to my seat designated by the ticket provided to me by the City Mayor for some reason.

I guess this was part of his scheme to give me the best seat from which I could watch how he would humiliate my fiancee!

Little did he know, there was no way she would succumb to something as silly as a demonic beast!

”Look who we have here!”

The same second I managed to find my seat and find a comfortable way to sit on it, an annoyingly familiar voice resounded right behind me. Not even bothering to move my head to face the speaker, I made sure to cover myself with a weak shield before speaking.

”What the hell do you want, trash?”

I guess I took Jelier too lightly. Not only did he present me the best spot to watch the fight, he apparently knew about the enmity between me and this fucking Baxhar! I already humiliated him once, was he seeking death by trying to annoy me here and now?

”To think that someone like you would hide behind the back of a woman as she would fight for your achievements… Wait, this actually makes total sense!”

Considering how he managed to get relatively rich by selling off my own sword, I could see where his confidence was coming from. While he was still trash, I could feel the aura of two developing core experts lurking nearby. I guess he invested the coins he got from the auction to hire the bodyguards in hopes that I would actually let him provoke me!
