Chapter 562: Despicable
Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Despicable
[Guli Chalidu]
Not a student from the underground area.
He is actually a student at the National Royal Academy of Knights, specializing in mechanical engineering.
However, his fame is far less than Abe and Dumps.
Of course, he never really stood out at the academy, he’s always been quite low-key.
The collar of his fluffy coat stood high, only revealing a pair of cold eyes. He stepped onto the arena wearing high leather boots with iron nails embedded in them.
As Guli stepped onto the final’s stage.
The simulated human who came to the scene to replace the ≮Gold Master≯ Gary G. Troswick from Steam Knights, had his eyes zooming in and out effectively with the turning of gears.
It seems the real Gold Master has awoken and is currently observing the match through this simulated human’s vision.
…
“Mia…..”
“I will concede if I feel that I am not winning…..darling, rest assured.”
Mia had just stepped onto the stage when she turned around, her hands on her chest, and made a big “heart” gesture just for Han Dong.
Scene: [Cloud Realm]
For a while.
The faint clouds enveloped the arena, and a few clouds’ marks floated between the floors.
Amplifying scene that can enhance wind affinity, increase moving speed and lessen gravity’s effect.
Mia’s basic attributes already lean towards ‘agility’.
This fast-paced stage is even more advantageous for Mia.
“The finals, the fourth match, officially begins.”
Mia started off with her full cursed power.
Whoosh!
Six black-purple spider legs protruding from her back quickly grew out.
The ‘Cursed Spider Domain’ deployed, various spiders constructed from cursed essence crawled all over the ground.
A pair of extremely lethal tiny venomous fangs hidden within Mia’s lips…
In the previous battles, these secret venomous fangs pierced directly through the defense of the Hell Knight and left a puncture wound on the neck.
[Talent Tree – Cursed Spider].
Curse symbols filled the black-purple tree.
Various kinds of spiders crawled on the webs, numerous spider eggs stashed inside the tree trunk.
Meanwhile,
The Demon Sword was unsheathed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
For a while, an additional feminine ghost wearing a kimono appeared in the cloud-covered arena.
“Even if I can’t defeat him, I’ll fully exhibit my own strength like Winry… that way, I will have more choices afterwards.
As long as I inject the curse into his body, and slowly prolong the match time, I might be able to win.”
A live black widow spider crawled out from Mia’s palm.
The ‘Paralyzing Venom’, an exclusive trait given to this spider by the Talent Tree.
Once it bites the target, the venom will immediately flow through the blood into the brain, causing a full-body paralysis… even beings at higher levels than Mia will suffer severe paralysis.
The black widow hid among the ordinary curse spiders. With the cover of the mist, it slowly crawled towards the target.
Surprisingly,
This student of mysticism only stepped on a few curse spiders. The black widow successfully climbed onto his body and injected the neurotoxin.
Although Mia felt there was a problem, the black widow did bite the enemy, and the poison was successfully injected.
[Curse Introversion]
Mia was ready to launch an attack, using all her cursed power to boost herself.
Amidst the mist,
Mia turned into a purple phantom and quickly appeared behind her opponent.
The hidden venomous fangs had already left bite marks on the target’s neck, sowing the curse.
The combined effect of the neurotoxin and body curse on a person is a huge advantage, even a knight will struggle to resist, in Mia’s view…
One may even say, victory is at hand.
The female ghost in kimono blended into the Demon Sword.
Mia launched an attack at the fastest speed – a Step Forward Slash.
The target should be paralyzed and cursed, unable to move.
Plus, the chop strike is already close to his back, about to hit the target, there shouldn’t have been any errors.
But… an impending sense of death was detected by Mia’s insect sensors.
By the time she tried to withdraw her blade, it was already too late.
Sssss…
Her grip was torn in half.
The entire thumb was ripped straight from Mia’s palm.
The Demon Sword was stabbed into the ground.
Ka…
Guli Chalidu had completed spinning around in an instant.
His black gloved hand squeezed Mia’s neck tightly.
“Why… aren’t you affected?”
Not only had the paralyzing effect not worked, but the invisible poisonous fangs that had bitten into her neck had not produced any cursed effects… this was a curse that even a Hell Knight could not resist.
At that moment…
Guli’s fingertips morphed into a kind of injector, pumping some kind of fluid into Mia’s body.
“Target information analyzed, suppressive drug injected.”
In an instant, Mia’s entire body convulsed, her pupils shrank, her condition was dire.
The hand gripping Mia continued to exert force.
Kaka~ the cartilage on both sides of her neck shattered… red fluid flowed from the fingers squeezing her, fluid continuously choked out of Mia’s mouth.
“Winner: Guli Chalidu.”
The referee decisively declared the result.
But this person unexpectedly didn’t let go.
Referee Alonso was about to intervene, the witches in the audience, full of rage, were ready to go on stage to restrain this brutal student.
However…
A faster shadow flew directly onto the stage.
An arm swollen with chains and a palm slap on Guli Chalidu, effectively swatting him away.
Yet…faced with such a blind spot attack…
Guli Chalidu actually defended in time, blocking with his arm, dissipating most of the impact and standing firmly five meters away.
The indifferent eyes on the plush collar looked at the youth who had attacked him.
“The match is over, it’s my turn next… Please step down, Guli.”
The one who stopped this all was Han Dong.
Mia, convulsing non-stop, with shrunken pupils and confused consciousness, was being held in Han Dong’s arms.
Despite Mia being Han Dong’s ally, this student had completely violated the knight code… Mia might be killed.
The two stared at each other.
Implicit auras collided, sparking indescribable fireworks.
Until Observer Alonso descended, a fierce Space Magic sent Guli flying into the wall of the Colosseum.
At the same time, he gave a stern warning:
“Please abide by the basic knight code… You will be severely warned this time. If this behavior repeats, your qualification to participate will be revoked.”
Guli Chalidu slowly separated from the stone wall, looking unperturbed as he returned to the viewing area.
Mia’s condition was quite bad, and her cursed physique was not suitable for treatment by the Holy Knights Group.
At that moment…
The witch personally arrived, applying a special herb to Mia’s body. With the aid of witchcraft traction, the lethal fluid was sucked out of Mia’s body…
The fluid contained microscopic gear creatures that specifically destroyed insects’ lives from within.
Cough, cough, cough!
Accompanied by a fit of violent coughing, she regained consciousness.
But Mia’s face was still pale… She could only feel Han Dong’s embrace and was unable to make a sound.
The witch beside them spoke: “Good job, Nicholas!
In the final stage of the championship, teach that ungrateful student a lesson for me.
Afterwards, you will gain the privilege of free entry and exit in the Witch Swamp, enjoying all the rights of a high-ranking witch.”
Clearly, this kind of infighting had infuriated the witch.
Mia was her favorite student, and she almost lost her to one of their own.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Kaylonia. I’ll handle it…”
The witch held Mia and left the scene. Subsequent treatment still required careful assistance, otherwise, severe side effects would remain.
The final gladiator battle was about to begin.
