Chapter 466: All kingdom end (1)
An almighty roar was let out through the whole arena and could be heard by the citizens as well as the contestants who stood outside of the arena. It was so loud that it wouldn't have been physically possible for a human to do, yet they could see a human doing it now.
[Dragon's roar activated]
This was coming from none other than Ray. Luckily for him, the strange action could be explained away via Ki or amplification magic. Now everyone under the Redwings contract had received a boost of power, which included his newly turned member Roki.
After receiving the buff from Sera and now receiving the buff from Ray, Roki had never felt stronger in his whole life. He knew Sera was capable of things like this but Ray as well.
Looking at the ant man sadly, Ray knew this was an opponent he couldn't defeat. Not with his current set of abilities and magical power, and not with his king tier gauntlets. So Ray's plan from the beginning was to always rely on Roki and his emperor tier weapon.
Sera continued to fight like a madman, getting hit and healing, hit and healing. It would have been torture for any regular human, their bones being crushed and healed on the fly like that, but there was nothing but a smile on his face.
It was clear that no progress would be made, and the Ant would soon go on the full frontal attack. Before doing anything else, Ray decided to send a message to the others; however, the messages were blocked once again.
This was a strange thing indeed because he could see the people he wanted to send a message to. If he really wanted to, he could have yelled and sent them a message. Then a thought came into his head, when he tried using the dragon eyes on Sera, he knew he was trying to use them, and they were blocked.
Just maybe it wasn't the shadow that was stopping his abilities in the empire in the first place, but it was all because of Sera.
Not needing to worry about that for now. Ray activated his gauntlets, and the red semi circle of energy surrounded them. After that, activating his fire energy, half his mana points were taken, and his flame attribute was doubled.
Out of all his attribute points, it was still by far his strongest. It was a shame because, at times, different beasts would be weaker against certain elements. Something like poison would be perfect right now, but Ray didn't have much attribute points in that.
There were some skills that he used to have as a dragon that would fix this problem but not now, not as a weak human. Blasting his way forward using the flames to guide him along, Ray fired a fireball at the right time against the Ant.
It was a normal sized fireball but still should have done some form of damage. Sera had just entered doing a flurry of attacks before being hit away once again, so it was the perfect timing, but the Ant just stood there and allowed for the fire ball to hit it.
A small explosion, and a cloud of smoke, but no damage done to its body, it didn't even flinch form the attack.
'Are our power levels this different?'
When one went one rank up in beasts, this was the difference. Even if someone could defeat three emperor tiers simultaneously, it didn't mean they could defeat a legendary tier or even a Demi god tier.
Still, Ray didn't give up, he couldn't, and he went in, covering his fists in flames. One one side Sera attacked, and on the other Ray did the same. Having two hands on both sides, it was as if they were fighting different people. Ray's punches would be blocked, and the Ant would attack back.
Luckily, Ray wasn't getting as hurt as Sera, for he could block it with his gauntlet's active ability's and thanks to their durability it didn't look like they were going to break, but the blows were still powerful, sending even Ray back a little with every punch.
Whereas the Ant made minimal movements.
While Ray and Sera were busy dealing with the four arms. Roki saw this as his opportunity, there was no holding back. Gathering all his Ki he was planning to end this in one strike, he knew Ray was counting on him. It made sense as it was the only plan they had if they wanted to destroy that exoskeleton.
Once that was broken, they could finally do something. It looked like Roki was doing nothing and just too scared to go in, but it wasn't it at all, he needed to wait for the perfect time.
"Arghh!" A scream was heard coming from the arena booth. This was where the emperor was also seen, and when Jones and Savana looked up above them, they could see his back was against the balcony side of the booth.
It looked like some of the true infected had managed to get in the arena and were planning to take out the emperor.
"Damn it!" Alexander yelled. "He drew his short sword, but in a few seconds, he saw his guard killed. He was no fighter, if his guard couldn't handle something like this, then he definitely couldn't.
He had been foolish. There were many strong men, including some mages that he could have brought with him to protect him by his side today. But he thought if any problems happend, Sera would be able to deal with them. Unaware that something like his would have happened.
"Jump," Savana said form down below. "We'll catch you!"
It was quite a far drop, if they were unsuccessful, then the emperor would die. It was either trusting his hands in that of the contestants from other kingdoms, or the shadow in front of him. However, looking at the shadow sent a shiver down his spine that ultimately made him choose to go with the contestants.
He jumped off, closing his eyes, half expecting it to be a trick. This was the way they were going to pay the empire back for everything he had done, but he had been caught by both Jones and Savana safely.
When the True Infected followed jumping down as well. Savana and Jones made quick work, Jones just using one of the swords he picked up from the others, and Savana with her daggers.
"Thank you, I am in your debt," Alexander said.
