Title: Arena Champion

Skills: Hyde Sword Mastery (LvMax)

Short Info: Mismatch

Just like his predecessor, the knight was eventually defeated but the fight wasn’t as smooth as the first one . One of the contestants got seriously injured and had to leave the competition of his own volition . If they had to fight the knight alone, it’s rather unlikely than all would be able to defeat him albeit their great strength .

The second opponent truly showed how monstrous the enemies in the Red Tower are . It’s actually a blessing that they’re allowed to gang up on him, nevertheless, it took them a painstaking 24 minutes, six more minutes and they would have lost .

"I think we overdid with the rules of this floor . "

The Joker wasn’t pleased after watching the fight between the knight and the contestants . It’s just too unfair and really not fun to spectate, at least from his point of view . He glanced at the silence youth and complained again:

"Do you even know how time it took me to bring him here? I had to defeat the fucker fifty times to get his summoning crystal!"

"Language!"-Leiu

The Magician clicked his tongue and glanced at Saly, who pretended not to hear the curse words and just watched the final fight .

"Let’s tweak the rules of the 19th floor . "

"Not going to happen . "

Hearing such a strong and immediate rejection, the Joker sat closer to his brother and lightly nudged him, trying to look pitiful but it was nothing but a downright shameless and pointless action .

"Please please!"

"We are going to wait years for them to climb to the top . The higher floors are hard as it is so increasing the difficulty of the lower ones will slow down their advancement .

...

*The Incompetent King, Zurak, will appear in one minute . *

Maxine glanced at the contestants before whispering to her only remaining teammate, a female priest who wasn’t very high-leveled and lacks strong offensive skills .

"Stay behind me and use the Escape Ticket if things get rough . "

Unlike the other two enemies, the king was in a league of his own as even before his appearance, his aura dominated the whole arena . The sun seemed to have come down, floating above the arena and emitting a blinding light and a suffocating heat . Not even Lucy’s Yin Power was able to block its debuff effects, which lowered the cultivation and stats of everyone, without exceptions .

Arthur coated his body with Dark Magic using the Dark-Star Strengthening technique, he also created a Dark Barrier and a Spatial Dimension, isolating himself and Lucy .

"Use Engulfing flames!"

Right after Arthur said that, he transformed into a large Vermilion Bird covered in flames and flew toward the blinding sun . Lucy jumped on the divine beast’s large head and prepared her golden flames

*Requesting permission to fuse [Engulfing Sun]+[Quiet Flames]

Cost: 4500 Mental Power

Cooldown: None

Y/N*

The couple accepted the fusion, causing a sea of golden and orange flames to spread across the whole sky, dying the canopy with a mixed beautiful glow . Arthur used the White Tiger’s golden barrier, blocking 80% of any damage they’ll receive, then flew straight at the sun .

The countdown was almost finished and the king is going to show himself . The ’sun’ was ballooning and, most likely, Zurak is going to appear from there which is why Arthur wanted to strike first .

Just as a hand appeared from within the sun, the bird opened its mouth and spat a shiny golden ball of fire that, by no means, was less bright than the ’sun’ . The ball of fire was golden and has orange flames engulfing it, and just its appearance made the whole floor violently shake .

It struck the blinding sun and exploded, destroying a large part of the arena and dying the gold with a orange and golden light, surprising many of the spectators . Unfortunately, Zurak, who managed to successfully get out of the sun, grasped what seemed to be a spear and spun in the air, sweeping with his spear .

Both Arthur and Lucy were flung away, heavily crashing on the ground while their fusion skill, called [Star Nova], was extinguished by the king’s retaliation . However, he also sustained damage as his armor had many burn signs and the hand holding the lance was profusely bleeding .

Thanks to the barrier Arthur prepared beforehand, the blow didn’t injure them and only pushed them away, moreover, they were not the only enemies of Zurak .

The Incompetent King landed in the arena and swept his gaze across everyone, his eyes holding nothing but contempt .

"Ruination is come!"

Zurak shouted with a clear and loud voice before jumping forward while waving his land around, aiming at both of his sides, from which Losha, and the Void Behemoth were attacking . His actions were simplistic but extremely, perhaps even absurdly, strong and devastating . His lance blasted the large purple Void beast and the reincarnator, sending them flying far away, though this was but the beginning as Hach’ara insects died before even reaching their target and Zodiak Dark Magic barely managed to reach Zurak before it vanished .

Fortunately, it did have an effect as a small part of it managed to invade the king’s body and slow down his moment for a few seconds . ’X’ used his Time and Space Magic to freeze Zurak’s hand then break it by shattering the space, which is a very difficult thing to do inside the Red Tower as it’s more stabilized than the outside world .

In fact, ’X’ is perhaps the only one who can properly break space and use it as a mean to attack, all the other contestants are not that well-versed in Space Magic to achieve such a feat . Even Arthur’s high mastery isn’t enough, which shows how tough and stable the space inside the tower actually is .

As the king’s hand was rendered useless, an elf archer fired an lightning-fast green arrow at Zurak’s knee, forcing him to kneel . The king roared and forced himself to stand up then tightly grabbed the lance with his remaining hand and used it as support to jump in the air then bang his weapon on the ground, shattering the red earth and blasting more than 10 contestants who got close to him in order to attack .

At this point, dozens of small, unnoticeable sparks appeared around Zurak, they lasted for a second before they exploded . Surprisingly, this time, the king was thrown to the back with blood covering his whole body .

Destruction magic engulfed him and cracked his lance and broke his armor . Arthur followed and Lucy didn’t sit still either, the parasite became an Azure Dragon and cast [Dragon Breath], forcing all the nearby contestants to back off to not get hit .

The illusory red flame was like tsunami, it crashed right into the king, scorching his body and making him cough one mouthful of blood the other . The White Specter threw a minuscule, thumb-sized, white flame which reached Zurak after five seconds .

Although it was slow, when it entered the king’s body, he started shrieking and flailing his body like a crazy person . Part of his body became frozen while the other literally melted, nevertheless, he managed to somehow resist and stand up again .

"Ruination!" Shouted Zurak as he threw his lance in the air then stabbing his chest . The sight was gory as he pulled his still beating heart then crushed it, the blow turned golden then covered him, instantly healing his injuries . This wasn’t the end as his land came back down, bringing with it countless light lances that covered the sky .

Arthur returned to his humanoid form, teleported behind Lucy and grabbed her closer to him before retrieving two formations from his storage and putting them around him . A multi-colored barrier coupled with a brown shield appeared before the couple, shielding them from the descending lances .

Losha activated her Diamond Physique, easily blocking all the damage while ’X’ kept breaking the space hence diverting the projectiles’ directions . Each person used something to protect themselves but not all were lucky or tough enough .

The priest accompanying Maxine used the Escape Ticket, decreasing the number of contestants yet again .
