Chapter 303 Legendary Bloody Butcher
When Willis regained consciousness, he reached out with his hand and felt his back skull. He found a huge dent. His head had almost been flattened.
He looked at Prince William with grievances but remained silent. Then he reluctantly jumped off the arena.
He hoped that he could win all his subsequent matches because there were ten pre-selection rounds.
The contestants with the most victories would enter the top hundred and would be sent to the semifinals.
There were four days for the selection. Each contestant would fight in three rounds for the first three days. All the contestants were randomly matched.
But it was very difficult to win all matches.
After winning the match, William greeted Annie and his companions.
But before he could leave the arena, the referee stopped him. "Lord of Dawn, don't leave. Rest for half an hour as you're scheduled for the next match."
William winced.
He sat down cross-legged on the ground to recover his Life Points and battle energy.
Half an hour later.
A professional appeared inside the fighting ring.
He was also a legendary BOSS and a powerful warrior.
The challenger was the ninth-seeded contestant, Gugas Bell, as listed in the intelligence report.
His attribute was Wind.
Gugas did not have a tall-build. Instead, he was short and stout. But his muscles were full of explosive energy as if he were a muscleman who had turned into a devil.
His hands and fingers were not very long. In fact, they were quite short and stubbly. However, his sharp fingernails that were painted in metallic color looked venomous.
His alias was Bloody Butcher.
Gugas entered the fighting ring and edged closer to William, whose height was comparable to his. Both of them gazed at each other, until Gugas spoke, "Lord of Dawn, admit defeat. With your small build, I'll break all your limbs. You'll be stretchered back to the City of Dawn."
William was perplexed. The Desert Kingdom must be aware of his alliance with the Red Fire Kingdom.
Gugas Bell had been a successful Count in the Desert Kingdom. Due to their opposing allegiances, they were natural enemies.
William did not reply to him. Instead, he pointed his middle finger at him.
Gugas did not understand his gesture.
So William wriggled his middle finger!
Gugas's face became green with rage. How dare the Lord of Dawn treat him like a girl! He was going to wallop William.
It was an insult that Gugas could not endure.
The referee noticed the hostility and decided it was time to start the fight. He shouted, "Begin!"
"Prepare to die."
Gugas emitted rays of green light.
That was the color of the wind element. He charged at William.
They were less than a hundred meters apart.
And within 0.3 seconds, they collided with each other.
William's blade emitted lightning alongside loud thunderclaps in a bid to stop Gugas' charge.
But Gugas was a professional who did not make use of weapons. His hands were hard like a legendary weapon. When his hands collided with the Thunder Blade, sounds of metal clanking were heard, and shockwaves could be felt.
The Thunder Blade continued slashing at Gugas' palm.
Gugas felt as though the sword energy was about to cut his lower body into halves.
He lifted his kneecap to block. The sharp Thunder Blade bounced off his knees, and he used the opportunity to use his claw-like fingers to grasp at William's chest.
William's Left Hand of the Thunder God countered the grasp.
Gugas's speed was faster. He knew that William's left hand had incredible power, so he evaded it to tear at William's rune equipment on his arm. But he only managed to make a bleeding scratch.
"How can that happen?" Gugas inhaled a gust of cold air, and he immediately retreated. His nails were as good as a legendary weapon. But after tearing through the rune equipment, he could feel the immense toughness of William's skin.
William squinted. Gugas' nails had venom that caused him to lose 130 Health Points per second. The duration of the venom's effect was 30 seconds.
While Gugas was retreating, William charged forward and activated the Light of Dawn. He infused the remaining 50% of his battle energy into the Thunder Blade, thereby increasing his attack power by 290% and caused 560 points of thunder damage!
Crash!
A ray of sword energy, resembling a crescent moon, slit through hundreds of meters of air.
Gugas' green battle energy shield had been penetrated!
He had used both of his hands to parry the attack, but he had been forced to fly back thousands of meters like a cannon shot. Both his hands looked crippled as white bones and bloody flesh were exposed. Blood profusely flowed onto the arena.
Burned Cinder smiled and commented, "If Lord William could be more accurate, the Light of Dawn would be an incredible move."
"Lord William is winning. Is he that vicious? He wasn't that vicious in the previous round…" a professional standing by the side of the arena asked.
Diablo shook his head and explained, "It was not that simple in the previous round. But in this round, his opponent is not easy to handle. Even though Lord William's moves were ferocious, Gugas' arms were not severed. Hence, not much damage was inflicted."
Gugas swung his arms, and the wounds on his arms rapidly regenerated.
Without a doubt, all wrestlers had the top-notch shield-bearer endowment.
Just like Violent Dragon!
Both of them preferred to use the brute force method.
It was simpler to fight with brute force.
Both of the fighters activated their element attacks.
Lightning and green rays collided with each other, resulting in a massive explosion and more and more shockwaves emanating in all directions.
William's Dawn Assault was far superior.
His left hand braced a luminous shield against Gugas and sent him flying into the air. In the next second, William's left hand made a gentle grasping motion.
Bang!
Tens of lightning bolts descended from the clouds and pounded on Gugas' body.
When Gugas landed on the ground, William pointed with his middle finger once again.
It was the Thunder Finger.
The lightning illuminated a radius of about tens of thousands of meters.
The nearby professionals' eyes became blinded by the brilliance.
However, when the lightning landed on Gugas, his body emitted green light rays that shot towards the sky like a tornado. The Thunder Finger was negated as the lightning was unable to penetrate the protection of the tornado.
Gugas' body lifted upwards. Within a short period of time, he had flown up into the clouds. Numerous green blades dispersed the ocean of clouds in the sky.
Many observers inhaled a gust of cold air and said, "Storm of Green Blades, that's Gugas' most powerful move."
William also knew about Gugas' moves.
When Gugas descended from the clouds, the two tornadoes that accompanied him on both sides transformed into green blades and sped towards William from all directions.
That was no way for William to dodge as the green blades were too densely packed.
It was like a metal storm.
But William did not activate the powerful Sacred Shield.
He slightly bent both of his legs.
Then the crowd heard a loud explosion.
They watched William swing his blade and shoot into the sky with his sword energy.
The thunder blade energy that extended for tens of meters shredded the thousands of green blades into tiny sparks that vanished in mid-air.
With the small pocket of opportunity, William made use of his battle energy shield to collide with Gugas.
Boom!
Electric arcs and green light emanated for hundreds of meters in the sky.
William descended to the ground, while Gugas returned to the clouds.
But the fight was not over.
Both of them rapidly separated, but the speed of collision was even greater.
They were like two rainbows in the sky, as they oscillated between collisions and separations.
Two distinct blue and green beams of light could be seen thousands of meters up in the sky.
It exhibited a rare phenomenon that was even more outstanding than the battles between some Grandmaster professionals.
Many bystanders had been enthralled by their display of prowess.
Just as both of them took a short breather, they realized that their battle was coming to an end.
The hands of Guga, who was floating in the clouds, were trembling.
During the previous continuous collisions, his nails had been shattered.
But he felt indignant as he deeply inhaled.
Green blades of the wind element fused into his hands from a radius of a few thousand meters. Gugas looked as if he was wearing a pair of luminous, green gloves.
"Lord of Dawn, prepare to die!"
He loudly shouted as both of his hands made wild gestures, creating persistent rays of light. The light looked like an eagle's claws, which spanned tens of meters, shooting down towards the ground.
William lifted his head and shut both his eyes before the green light appeared.
In the next instance, he leaped from the ground and shot into the sky with a thunderous boom!
He did not make use of any powerful skills.
He depended on his inherent defenses to brace through the eagle's claws. His body was full of blood and lacerated flesh when he charged at Gugas.
Gugas watched William in disbelief. How could William fight in this horrible state?
Gugas did not know William's Love Blessings had activated…
William cut to the chase and grasped Gugas' left hand.
Crack!
He crushed Gugas' left hand into meat sauce! Only half of his wrist was left dangling.
Gugas' face was in horror as he stepped back.
However, William's acceleration was faster than his speed, so his dodging was useless.
He was given no chance to evade.
Because William grasped his right hand this time.
Crack!
His hand bones had been crushed.
William butted his head into Gugas, who plummeted to the ground like a falling meteor.
However, Gugas' Health Points were still high enough not to invoke the protection of the competition token.
William transformed into a ray of lightning and stepped on Gugas' abdomen using both his legs.
Gugas' legs and head were pushed up due to the abdomen's impact.
A punch was thrown.
Bang!
Gugas' head smashed into the ground.
Half of Gugas' face had become a mess. His facial features had collapsed into the skull.
A protective shield surrounded Gugas to prevent William from killing his opponent.
Gugas had already passed out.
Both his hands had been crippled, and half of his face had become unrecognizable.
William kicked Gugas off the arena.
He looked at the hostile contestants of the Desert Kingdom while picking his brows. "Hmm, the professionals of the Desert Kingdom are weak. This is only my warm-up."
"You…" A warrior was about to rebuke, but he was restrained by his companions, who dragged him away.
Since Gugas had started taunting him, William noticed that the affinity points of the Desert Kingdom had fiercely plummeted.
In that case, William felt there were no more constraints when fighting Gugas. Moreover, he had the support of the Red Fire Kingdom.
If William was unable to defeat the enemy of Red Fire Kingdom, how could he be a worthy ally?
William had made himself known to Roland, the commander-in-chief of the Temple of Light in the southern region. He had also colluded with Roland to deceive Wayne Gold Coin once.
How could the Desert Kingdom not know about William?
The reason William wanted to be the champion of the southern region was not because of the equipment reward…
It was for the title.
A title that could reap huge benefits for William.
Only the Kingdoms would understand the significance of the title. That was why the contestants of the Desert Kingdom were pitting against the contestants of the Red Fire Kingdom and William.
