Chapter 734 – INTRODUCTION (2ND MATCH)
[MASHTER, the young master won!] – Eclipse excitedly said, almost jumping up and down on Luo Yan's lap.
"Yeah," Luo Yan answered with a big grin on his face.
He was equally as excited as the little fox. He was so happy by this turn of events that he also wanted to jump around just to express the joy he was feeling right now. Although he truly wanted Luo Jin to win, he knew that it would not be an easy task. Dragnar had the huge advantage in terms of race alone. But his brother didn't give up and persevere until the end.
He fought a bit recklessly but definitely smartly. Luo Jin used whatever was in his hands to his advantage. Even a bunch of teleportation scroll was used in a very ingenious way. Ultimately managing to defeat his opponents.
If Luo Yan won his match, Luo Jin would definitely be a hard opponent to beat. But that's to be expected. His brother was obviously a great fighter. A very tenacious one too. It made Luo Yan want to do his best even more. Of course, he would do that regardless. Just like what he said to Luo Jin before, if the two of them ended up fighting each other, he would give it his all to defeat him.
But first, he had to fight Winged Tassel and win.
He wasn't nervous about it. He was even looking forward to it. It's not only because he couldn't wait to beat the other up, he also wanted to know just why the guy was so interested in Eclipse. As much as he wanted to believe that Winged Tassel was simply a furry, his logical side was telling him that it was because of some other reason.
And he wanted to find out what that reason was.
[Mashter, since the young master won, it means Eclipse won't be able to fight with you until the finals, right?]
Eclipse's question cut off Luo Yan's train of thought. He looked down at the little fox and met the other's big blue eyes. He gently stroked Eclipse's fluffy head. "Yes. I'm sorry if I can't let you fight in these next two matches."
Although the two of them had already talked about this, he knew that Eclipse was still feeling disappointed that he couldn't fight with him.
The little fox shook his head, showing him a smile. [It's okay. Eclipse understands. But where will Eclipse be while Mashter is fighting with the bird guy?]
Now that's a good question. If he knew things would turn like this, he should have just left Eclipse with Shen Ji Yun. Although if he hadn't brought Eclipse with him to the waiting room before the semi-finals started, his suspicion about Winged Tassel would probably not intensify.
Those eyes that stared at Eclipse at that time definitely didn't show any good intentions. That's why Luo Yan had decided not to let the little fox fight with him if he was ever matched with Winged Tassel. He just had a feeling that Eclipse would be in danger if he did.
He already had an idea where he would leave Eclipse. But before he could answer the other, the Duke of Heart's voice coming from the floating screen echoed in the room they were in.
"Now, why don't we go straight to the second match of this semi-final round?"
The moment the other said that, Luo Yan felt his body being pulled into a vacuum. Just like the feeling whenever he was teleporting.
When he opened his eyes, he was already standing on the right side of the already fixed rink with Eclipse in his arms. On the left side of the rink was Winged Tassel. Of course, one shouldn't forget this tournament's emcee. The duke was standing at the middle of the rink with a mic in his hand.
Based on what happened during the last match, the other would probably start introducing him and Winged Tassel with that unique humor of his. He just thought that and the duke really did just that.
"On the right corner, another crowd favorite, a white-haired beauty belonging to a special elven race, a fierce Assassin in the making – Noctis!"
The crowd's cheer wasn't as loud as when Dragnar was introduced. It's probably the result of the other losing. Being another crowd favorite, those who bet on him were probably worried about him suffering the same fate.
"He arrived at Olkdale Town middle of July. With his heaven-defying luck, he managed to nab one hidden task after another. From these tasks, he received a lot of high-grade rewards, making him a lot stronger. Would his luck continue and triumph in this match or would he trip and tumble just like the other crowd favorite?"
Luo Yan raised one of his brows. That's a way to rub salt to the wound. And the gleeful look on the duke's face when he said that would make anyone want to punch him. Luo Yan certainly thought of it. But he ignored it and just walked towards the rink.
"Now, on the left corner, someone whom this lord didn't expect to reach this stage, belonging to the Tengu clan, a Swordsman who could draw his sword at lightning speed – Winged Tassel!"
Luo Yan glanced at his opponent. The other still had that creepy smile on his face. He seemed to be also looking at Luo Yan. But he knew that the other's gaze was focused on the fox in his arms. Luo Yan narrowed his eyes at the other. He really wanted to beat up this furry bastard.
"He arrived at Olkdale Town only two months ago. But with just that short amount of time, he managed to reach unexpected heights. One could imagine just how much dedication he has to reach this point. Would he be another dark horse or would his wings finally be clipped in this match?"
Luo Yan was slightly surprised hearing that the other had only started playing two months ago.. As much as he hated to admit it, this guy was definitely an amazing player.
