Chapter 485 - Complement

"d.a.m.n"

"The chosen one did it again. Just who is he?"

"Are such strong citizens even allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the monthly compet.i.tion?"

"What then? Should only weak citizens be sent to be slaughtered like chickens? Did you forget about the fair clause of the event? It doesn't matter, as long as it's a citizen, it is fine."

"Right?"

Concurrently, while everyone was expecting Virus to retreat into the resting room again, Virus suddenly stupefied everyone by yelling toward the VIP seats.

"I don't need to go back, I've already gotten permission to replace the other two remaining chosen ones, but enough of the weak-a.s.s opponents." Indeed, the previous times Virus went back to the room, it was only because he didn't have consent to replace the chosen ones, and that's why he had to go back. But now that they had all approved of him partic.i.p.ating in their place, Virus didn't need to waste more time.

Instead, directly pointing a finger at the extravagant dude, he provoked, "You! Get down here and face me, fool! Or are you going to continue sitting there while every one of your fellow disciples gets hacked down into pieces?"

""

Immediately, everyone felt their heart was about to burst into their mouths as they realized who Virus was signaling at.

"I-I-It's Cray! He's talking to Cray!"

"d.a.m.n, just what kind of b.a.l.l.s does he have to instigate Cray's hostility Cray's the most bloodthirsty warrior that is present today!"

"That idiot, just when I was thinking he's unstoppable, he had to go and offend Cray!"

"Whatever happens, that chosen one has earned my respect today."

Meanwhile, Virus urged the extravagant individual, Cray, to come and battle him.

The sole reply that derived from Cray, however, was, "Huh?"

Then, standing up on his feet, much to the bewilderment of everyone, Cray straightly threw himself off that VIP balcony without a second thought.

Pssst!

Landing on the sand of the colosseum, Cray began walking toward Virus in an easy-going and cool style. When he was upon him at last, keeping his bearing, he said. "You dare challenge me?"

After a short pause, he continued, "You think you are worthy?"

"What the f.u.c.k? Another r.e.t.a.r.d? Why can't I just get a single normal dude to fight against?" Grabbing his head using both hands, Virus messed up his hair faking intense frustration.

Seeing Virus' act, darkness disguised Cray's expression. Never once in his entire life had he been treated as a fool, but here it was, someone who didn't bother answering his question while outright addressing him as a r.e.t.a.r.d.

"What I was trying to say is, you are not-"

"Why? Why can't I get a single adversary with a few brain cells." Stumping one foot hard on the sand, Virus shouted further.

By now, many tics of wrath were pulsing on Cray's face who opened his mouth again after being interrupted.

"What I'm trying to say is, it's going to be one-sided beating and not an actual fight where-"

"Is this the doing of the so-called heavens cursing me with idiots? Moreover, it's a talkative r.e.t.a.r.d at that, just when will he shut up, I wonder."

"At least listen to me!"

Angered to the point of speechlessness, giving up on his little speech, Cray picked the hammer from his back and instantly vanished from every mortal's sight.

'Unnamed Virus Technique, First Form Impulse!'

Subsequently, with his sudden emergence behind Virus, he heavily smashed the hammer at Virus' back!

Bam!

As the force of the impact made contact with his body, Virus was thrust toward Cray's earlier position.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say Virus wasn't surprised by this sudden development.

'He's not just a newbie in the Sublimity Emergence stage! It must've been a while since he broke through.'

Until now, 'nearly' all of the opponents Virus was capable of defeating were cultivators that had been newly introduced to the Sublimity Emergence.

However, now receiving the great blow from Cray and calculating the burst of speed, Virus concluded he was incapable of reacting to it with 'Impulse' alone!

While being thrust through the sand like a broken doll, various contemplations were going through Virus' brain.

At the same time, Cray didn't seem to be finished as he vanished more.

'Unnamed Virus Technique, First Form Impulse!'

'Unnamed Virus Technique, Second Form Friction!'

Prior to the arrival of Cray, before his physique was even done sliding over the sand, Virus landed on his feet forcefully and activated both forms of his movement technique.

Simultaneously, his sword became visible for everyone to see at last as he raised and blocked!

BAM!

Suddenly, Cray's hammer connected to Virus' sword before his frame gradually emerged in everyone's line of sight!

Bam! Bam! Boom!

Following quickly, an intense battle ensued as wave after wave of sand was erupting all around the colosseum.

Unfortunately, the clash was happening so quickly that none of the common citizens were able to witness the fight firsthand.

All they could observe were some afterimages and collision noises happening all over the place.

One time an eruption of sand rose from the left side of the arena while the next instant the right side of the arena turned into an utter mess!

"d.a.m.n I can't see anything, can anyone tell us what's happening?"

"I'm not catching a single thing as well."

"This isn't a battle we can understand or perceive anymore."

In the meantime, Virus dodged the hammer and finally decided to attack for the very first time!

So far, he had done nothing but defend while gauging the limits of his opponent, but now he was getting bored.

'Fountain Bow Cut!'

"Hmph!"

As the bow cut unleashed right at Cray's neck, letting out a harrumph filled with contempt, Cray immediately pulled back his hammer and blocked!

Wham!

"You thought that's enough to-"

'Fountain Arrow Cut!'

Pierce~

Alas, before he could even finish the sentence, the complementary strike was perfected in that window of opportunity as a sword full of energy penetrated through Cray's heart.

"Guess it was enough, eh?" Virus said grinning viciously.

"Argh" Feeling a sting in his chest, Cray unconsciously tilted his head down to see the source of the sting that was getting worse by the second.

The moment he caught the sight of the sword, however, fear overwhelmed him while his eyelids went wide open and his pupils dilated to the extreme.

Of course, that state of shock didn't persist for long as Virus pulled out his b.l.o.o.d.y sword and watched Cray drop on the sand floor before starting to bleed mortally.

It only took seconds before death overcame Cray as he drew his final breath in the world.

""

""

""

Even though no one was capable of seeing the process of confrontation, everyone was perfectly clear as to what had occurred at the final moments as Virus easily pierced Cray's heart and killed him!

"f.u.c.k! He killed Cray as well! We're talking about 'that' Cray! 'The' Cray!"

"I must be dreaming, d.a.m.n!"

"Today's monthly battle is something else I'm mind-blown."

"Just who is that person? What's his name?"

"He's like the G.o.d of slaughter in the arena. Everyone expected him to be a sheep, but he was a wolf in sheep's clothing all along!"
