Chapter 276 Warm-up Match 15 (2/2)
A mercenary was cautiously heading over towards him. He hurriedly raised his shield and stopped. His countless battle experience told him that the situation had changed. Sure enough, as he lifted the shield, a heavy collision noise came from the surface of the shield, and the impact caused his body to stagger.
However, this was not the end. Soon, he was surprised to feel cold energy flash through him.
What happened?
The cold energy seemed to be alive and invaded his palm. This caused him to scream and he instinctively threw away the round shield in his hands. The shocked mercenary discovered that the surface of the thick, rough round shield was now covered with a thick layer of frost and was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even though the shield had been thrown away, the white frost didn't stop spreading. It spread along the edge of the shield and formed a semi-transparent ice. Finally, it stopped after freezing the entire shield. The little frost fell from the air and blend in with the dense, white smoke. It looked very beautiful.
However, the mercenary who witnessed this scene was extremely scared. He knew what would have happened if he didn't let go of the shield; not only would his shield freeze, but his arms would likely suffer the same treatment.
What the hell is this kid is doing!
Seeing the scene in front of him, he finally stopped and started thinking about whether he should move on. This powerful magic arrow could not be easily avoided; he might be able to escape once, but could he escape the second time?
Without waiting for the poor mercenary to make a decision, another arrow flew out like a serpent from the thick smoke. Although it was very fast, it wasn't difficult for an elite member of a mercenary group to block it with his weapon. So facing such an attack, the mercenary did not really pay special attention. He just leaned over and brandished his long sword. He accurately blocked the arrow that flew towards his shoulder and deflected it. Afterwards, the mercenary threw out his long sword in fear. Because after his sword came in contact with the arrow, it was immediately frozen. In a blink of an eye, the original sharp sword was frozen. If he didn't react in a timely manner and hurriedly throw his sword away, the same would have happened to his hands.
How were they going to fight?
The empty-handed mercenary stood helplessly inside the thick smoke. He was looking at the frozen sword and shield before him and both of his hands. Were they going to be the next sacrifice?
What a joke! This is just a warm-up battle, and I definitely won't sacrifice my own body just for this!
Thinking of this, he quickly made a resolute decision.
Run!!
For spectators, this battle was simply boring to the extreme. Except during the first round, the trio confronted one another. Afterward, everything was shrouded in the smoke and nothing could be seen. The people in the colosseum could only watch the thick fog and no one knew what was happening. Those who had long lost their patience started shouting and complaining. However, it was totally unhelpful to the situation inside the smoke.
As these people almost fell asleep due to boredom, the smoke suddenly shifted. This made them immediately get spirited and sit upright while staring at the thick smoke. They were waiting for something to happen.
This time, their expectations didn't turn into disappointment.
Soon, the crowd saw a mercenary running out of the smoke with a frightened expression. He waved his hands vigorously while rushing out of the smoke without hesitation. Then, he jumped down the ring and yelled, ”I admit defeat! I admit defeat!!”
After he finished saying this statement to the members of the Mercenary Association who served as referees, the mercenary did not return directly to the post and quickly disappeared. Behind him, the people were completely speechless and did not know what to say. What happened inside? Why did this guy run away as if he had seen a ghost?
Everyone's curiosity was immediately sparked again.
