Chapter 674 - FIRST MATCH
Chapter 674 – FIRST MATCH
LUO YAN looked at the screen showing the fight of Supreme King and Lovelee. The former showed his explosive power by charging head-on and destroying pieces of the rink with every attack. While the latter was moving swiftly, evading every attack that was thrown at her. It's like her body was made of cotton because of how easy she was deflecting all those attacks.
Right now, the two were on pretty equal grounds. Which was probably quite surprising to some. Because just looking at the two, anyone would thing that Supreme King would be the one on the lead.
Luo Yan took back his gaze from the screen and glanced at the other players he was with. Besides him, there were six others with him. The only ones he knew were the golden dragon and the panther beastkin friend of Ying Chen.
The seven of them here were those who picked even numbers from the box. They were on one of the two 'bench areas'. Until it's not yet their time to fight, they would have to wait in these two areas.
The 16 of them were, of course, separated into two groups – those who picked odd numbers and those who picked even numbers. It stopped them from interacting with their opponent. Probably to stop them from fighting ahead of their match. But because of this, Luo Yan was separated from his younger brother because the other picked an odd number.
It would be so much better if Luo Jin was here. At least, he could discuss the fights with him.
He turned his attention back to the screen. The fight was still at a standstill. It seemed that the two still hadn't gotten an advantage over the other. Hopefully, the fight wouldn't last for 30 minutes. He was sure that the two also wouldn't want that. After all, who knew what kind of judgment the Duke of Hearts would use in regards to these fights.
If he was one of the two, he would definitely do something right about now to turn the tides into his advantage.
It seemed that Supreme King was also on the same wavelength as him because of what happened in the next second. His upper body suddenly turned into that of a lion. Turning into a half transportation, probably to provide him with a much more flexible transportation.
Supreme King rushed towards Lovelee. Surprisingly enough, even with his body getting much bigger than before, his movement was much faster. Because of that, he appeared next to Lovelee in an instant. The girl seemed to be surprised by that. This momentary surprised caused her to be caught.
Lovelee's race was a fairy. Because of that her avatar was like that of a child. With such a small body, her waist was easily grasped by Supreme King.
"Admit defeat," the big lion said. The claws of his free hand were pointing at his opponent's neck.
Instead of being nervous, Lovelee showed a confident smile. "Why should I?" She suddenly reached out to the other and held the big lion's face. "Thank you for getting this close to me."
She leaned forward as if about to kiss Supreme King. The other was obviously very startled by that move that he froze in place. Lovelee took advantage of that on the face of the big lion. The thing she blew looked like white glitters. It's probably some kind of fairy dust or something.
The next second, Supreme King fell down on the rink like a dead log. It didn't stop there. The whole body of the lion started to turn blue. Once his whole body completely turned to that color, it slowly turned into tiny light particles. A sign that his avatar was killed.
Then, the Duke of Hearts appeared floating on the rink like some referee. "Wow. That's a very boring match. But anyway, let me announce the winner. It's Lovelee!" he said, flourishing his hand to where the girl was standing.
The cheering from the crowd wasn't that loud, as if agreeing to the duke's judgment.
Luo Yan thought that the fight was just fine. The only downside was Supreme King was too much of a gentleman. If the other quickly went for the kill the moment he had Lovelee in his grasp, he could have won. But he didn't. Instead, he told the other to admit defeat.
Lovelee, on the other hand, was quite smart. She understood at that moment that the big lion was not really that tough. In fact, he's a big softie. So, she took advantage of that and did a big killer move.
The outcome could be imagined.
"As the winner of this match, you can now enter my special winners' room," the duke said. When he clapped his hand, Lovelee disappeared from where she was standing. Presumably, she was now in this 'special winners' room'. "Now, let's move to the next match. Hopefully, it wouldn't be as boring as the last one."
That earned a couple of laughter from the audience.
Luo Yan then saw the door to their 'bench area' opening. It's a signal that the next person to fight should walk there and come up on the rink. The one who walked out was a big man wearing a knight's costume. Luo Yan had a feeling that the other was probably a Swordsman.
"Next match, Razor versus Wild Rock!" the Duke of Hearts announced.
The crowd cheered, it was not that loud but at least louder than the reaction they gave to Lovelee's win. Obviously, one or maybe both the players mentioned were fan favorite.
Luo Yan had a feeling that it was because of Razor. After all, the other had a very good performance during the preliminary of the Carnival. He looked at the screen that was now focusing on the two people about to fight. His eyes focused on Razor. The guy just finished yawning and looked like he was bored out of his mind.
Even when the duke signaled for the fight to begin, he looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Wild Rock did not waste the other's inattention and quickly released a huge attack.
