794 The Battling Arena - The End!
The monsters moved fast and went towards my direction, yet three beams took the lives of three of them.
“Hahaha! Yes, run, run and try to survive. I want to see how long you can, hahaha! Running for ten miles? Hahaha! You will die, your monsters will die, your forces will die!”
“We will see!” I knew he pulled such a big move, but who said this really mattered?
As I got my heated cooled down, I held my horn and issued another order:
“To all forces, abandon everything and head towards the enemy castle,” I said in such a fierce way while another ray came in my direction. I used my glaive and ended up flying in the air once more while shouting:
“Don’t stop at anything, move from all directions, get that damn castle destroyed now!”
“You!!!” from behind, I could hear the scared shout from this king.
Indeed he put much effort in doing this feat, but this bastard just helped me and my forces.
This fight wasn’t concluded by any king getting killed! Indeed dying had its bad effects on my forces, but it wasn’t the end!
“Silence!”
Damn liar! Didn’t he say he didn’t have any more items to use?
“Kill him! Go and kill that motherf*cker! Silence!”
He used another one! Damn! How many did he buy before coming here?
The next thing that I saw was a bright light coming from three different diamonds, all shone brightly over my body. Without my ability to move or do anything, the rays fell over my body without any hindrance.
And then I felt my soul get scorched like it was literally on fire.
Damn! I was… Dying!
It felt like my soul was withering under a strong presence. At this moment, everything I lived and saw moved slowly and passed in front of my eyes.
Was this how dying was? Was this what anyone would experience at his last breaths?
I saw everything from my moment of birth all the way to this last moment. I even saw moments I never remembered ever! Like the faces of my father and mother, and how carefree they looked and happy to see me.
I saw things I didn’t understand. But the memories kept flashing fast in front of my eyes while my mind started to slow down like it was burdened with heavy sacs of sand.
I was dying… And everything I saw at the end became like seeing a movie without having any thoughts about it.
[Ding!]
[You died!]
Just at this moment, I saw a ghostly shadow coming up from my body. That was my body, the motionless cold sac of meat that just slammed heavily on the ground.
But I was still able to think, feel, and hear.
“Hahaha! I killed him! Hahaha! I killed you! What a disappointing thing that you won’t really die! You will just resurrect in a few minutes. But rest assured, I will handle your forces properly and send them towards their grave, foolish human king, hahaha!”
[Ding!]
[You got a resurrection ticket]
[Ding!]
[You got the privilege of the Bronzed Coin battling arena to resurrect]
[Ding!]
[Which path will you choose?]
For a reason, this system looked a bit different than the one I used to have. It issued Ding sounds before sending me any message. Was this normal?
I knew that resurrecting through the arena rules would save me one hundred million souls. But it would come with great consequences.
That king just said it right now! I would take long minutes before coming back to life. Not to mention my forces would be annihilated without me, it would also give debuffs to my remaining ones.
This… Wasn’t acceptable!
“I’ll use my resurrection ticket,” one had to get the fruit of what he worked hard to sow. And that king just asked for a bad beating, one that would leave him speechless before dying.
[Ding!]
[The resurrection ticket is issued]
[Ding!]
[You got two bloodlines in your body]
[Ding!]
[Which race do you want to resurrect at? Humans? Or the angels?]
“A… Angels?!!!” I was shocked, truly shocked this time when I heard that.
“The… Humans,” but I was a human, I lived my entire life as one. Even if I didn’t know how I got such bloodline in my veins, or if it would make me stronger or not, the mere idea was rejected! It was unnegotiable!
[Ding!]
[Your selection is respected]
[Ding!]
[Your body is going to gain a reform ticket]
[Ding!]
[You can always change to the other race using this ticket if you wanted]
[Ding!]
[Resurrection ticket is activated]
[Ding!]
[You are going to live again!]
What the heck was all this?!!! I was deeply shocked but the next feeling wiped away all these doubts.
It felt refreshing, really nice to have my soul back to my body.
It was like I was in a complete numb state, and got my body parts awakened one by one.
It was like a nightmare! One that I was glad and blessed to get out from.
“Hahaha!” but as I got back, that bastard was still laughing, “go, go and tear his monsters apart… What the f*ck is that?!!!”
Just before he could continue his words, I stood up, held my staff out, summoned my portal, and then vanished within.
“Come with me,” I didn’t leave alone, and took elven monsters with me.
They were the remaining ones alive. During the few seconds of my death and resurrection, the deadly rays claimed the lives of nine of my beasts.
I lost twelve! But that didn’t matter! Not at all! I got revived, and that king already fell in his trap.
I didn’t stand behind for even one second or bothered to spare him a single glance. All I did was to just open my portal and bring my boys with me and vanished.
I just gave that old king a single and silent gaze before vanishing inside my portal. The look of his face was priceless.
It wasn’t easy for anyone to just feel the taste of victory, to be held by his neck and dragged all the way down to the rock bottom of hell.
I appeared with my eleven remaining monsters just at the northern post where I was fighting the big army of that bastard. The army wasn’t here, as it seemed to go after my forces to stop them from taking down the castle.
“Come out!” I summoned the twenty-seven monsters I had, “go, let’s enter this castle together.”
I led them in a charge towards the distant castle.
As for that king, he should remain seated behind at his magnificent and terrifying post. Even if he tried to come and lead his forces at the castle, it would already be too late.
“Keep attacking!” Once I arrived, I vented all the frustration I felt over the soldiers here.
The castle was heavily secured with many towers, but they all had no way to harm me.
I led my forces, while my shield kept me alive and in one piece.
At the same time, I aimed towards one of the three gates of the post, hammered at it heavily with my glaive and crushed it to pieces after a few strikes.
When I entered the castle, I totally ignored all the defences here and troops. I just ventured forward, crushing anything and anyone standing in my path until I reached the heart of the castle.
It was a big bronze diamond with a shield over it. I didn’t bother with anyone and kept banging my glaive at that shield, cracking it piece by piece before it smashed after two minutes.
[Congratulations! King Hye of the human race just won this arena challenge]
[King Silvador of the Hector race lost!]
[King Silvador died]
[Half of his belongings will go to you]
[The Bronzed Coin now has a new owner!]
[You will be teleported in five… Four… Three… Two… One… Now!]
And with the countdown reaching zero, a bronzed ray of light enveloped me before I left this place.
This arena battle… It ended up with my victory! Hooray!
I now could go back with my head held high, and that f*cking battle against the Hectors would be over.
Their king was dead, and there was no one up there to stop me right now!
