The emperor gave an order, and the finals began. The huge venue was completely boiling, with hundreds of thousands of people making a lot of noise.
Cassius sat casually on the throne, resting his chin with his right hand, looking down at the passionate crowd.
"After history is magically changed, who will be the champion of the first competition?"
"I'm looking forward to it."
In fact, Cassius was also quite curious about the ownership of the championship.
In its original history, there were not so many players in "Erezegai". By spending money in real life, Overlord, the president of [Kingdom], won the championship without any doubt.
But the emergence of the Empire has brought about earth-shaking changes to the [Northern Storm] version.
The emergence of various camp sub-professions, changes in quest lines, and the rise of the magic industry
The current situation in the Anzeta Wilderness has little to do with the original history in Cassius's memory.
This is a brand new journey.
Cassius didn't like the established fate, it was too heavy and made him feel that he had no control over it.
He enjoys the feeling of changing his destiny and even taking history into his own hands.
Looking at the player seats in the audience, the players who stand out have already begun to prepare for the next battle, and all of them are in high spirits.
Cassius turned his head, looked at the white-haired girl waiting on the side with a smile, and asked casually: "Tinia, who do you think will win the championship?"
Tinia looked at the players with disdain and whispered: "Master, why don't you let me participate? I can also win the championship."
She stretched out her hand and shook it menacingly: "These are the weak guys. I can crush them into meat pies with just one claw."
As she spoke, Tinia's expression became obsessed, immersed in her own world.
"Then I can get the gold coins of the champion and gain your favor, hehehehe"
"."
Cassius turned his head speechlessly and continued to watch the game.
It is really wishful thinking to expect some ivory to come out of the dragon's mouth of this white beast.
Let's watch the game.
"The flesh and blood are weak, but the machine soars! Brother Kuangchao is the champion!"
"S God is invincible!"
"Glory belongs to those born to fight!"
"Kingship is glorious, heroes are immortal! The champion will only be our Kingship!"
The cheers from the support groups of the star players came one after another, and they started a scolding war for the right to own the championship.
Under the official arrangements of the empire, the 128 players who finally advanced began to draw lots to select their opponents and determine the order of appearance.
This game will last for seven rounds and adopt the most cruel elimination system. Losing one game means the end of the competition career.
Therefore, signing has become a very important point.
Players with a bad face are likely to draw strong opponents several times in a row and be forced out of their cards early.
——For example, the famous "African Chief" Charlotte.
Surrounded by many [Magic Coin] members, he looked at the bronze medal in his hand that read "Great Powerful Heavenly Dragon" and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Oh, I'm used to it."
Charlotte sighed.
This cruel world is always so unfriendly to Africans.
Dawei Tianlong is the president of [Shaolin Temple]. He is famous for his strong body and is recognized as the strongest monk player at this stage.
Meeting such an opponent in the first round can only be said to be in line with his prediction of his luck.
Monks are very sensitive, especially senior monks like Dawei Tianlong. They are very unfriendly to mages like him who are afraid of getting close.
Fortunately, the opponent lacks the means to counter the spell.
Can still fight.
Charlotte took a deep breath and looked at her battle order - sure enough, it was the first battle.
"It's really a headache. If we encounter strong enemies like this in several games, it won't be good if someone figures out the rules."
"But no one can defeat a well-prepared Master!"
The wand in his hand is all bright silver, with complex hollow patterns on the top, emitting a blue light.
——That is a rare level of equipment [Battle Mage Wand].
Its effect is very simple and practical, allowing the holder's spells to have a tracking effect, penetrate cover, and find targets on complex battlefields.
Charlotte clenched the wand in her hand, her expression a little solemn.
"Being the first to fight, I have to face a strong enemy. The ranking of the magic coin depends on me!"
"Come on, President!"
"Control the monk on the opposite side until death!"
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the Master!"
The members of Magic Coin cheered, cheering for their president.
As the president of one of the four giants, Charlotte has strong strength.
What's more, for a mage, financial resources are an important part of strength, and [Magic Coin]'s financial resources are quite strong.
On the opposite side, the players of [Shaolin Temple] were full of passion and excitement in choosing the chief.
"Brother Tianlong, you are the strongest!"
"Abbott, how can a mere mage defeat our bodies that have been tempered for thousands of years!"
"Weak, that mage named Charlotte is really weak! Use your fists to blast him!"
Dawei Tianlong touched his shiny bald head and saluted with clasped fists at the players who supported him: "I will do my best!"
He grinned, revealing a pair of neat and white teeth: "Let them - see the strength of the Sanda monk!"
The commentator's passionate voice echoed throughout the venue.
"His Majesty Cassius is here in person for this competition. I believe everyone will give 100% of their strength to compete for this glorious championship position!"
"In this game, our players can give full play to their strengths without any scruples - because His Majesty has personally set a ban on the venue to eliminate all attacks beyond the venue."
"Really?"
Players who have good deeds do not believe in evil and decide to try it for themselves.
He released a fireball into the arena, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier in mid-air that directly annihilated the fireball.
The missing player was quickly escorted away by tiefling guards.
"Holy shit, so advanced?"
"Really!"
"Such a large-scale anti-magic force field is really outrageous!"
"Okay, okay, I want to see the bombing!"
Cassius on the throne smiled and said nothing. This was just a trivial means in the [Imperial Realm]. It was just a ban on demons.
I can also ban you!
The narrator continued:
"Our first game is about to begin!"
"Now the two sides of the competition are revealed. The player on the blue side is - No. 00023, Dawei Tianlong!"
"The mighty Tianlong!"
"Monk Di Shen! One Punch Man!"
There was a sudden wave of cheers from the audience.
As a well-known professional monk player, Dawei Tianlong attracts many fans with his crisp and powerful playing style.
There is also a video clip of his game on a certain video platform - "One punch to extinguish the wind and rain, and there is no god in the world", which has millions of views.
The two-meter-tall bald monk walked out of the contestant tunnel, waved to everyone in the audience, and showed a bright and confident smile.
The muscular body is as perfect as a sculpture, and the reflections from its teeth and the top of its head dazzle the audience.
"Who turned on the light?"
“Damn, it’s such a big lightbulb!”
"This guy seems to be ridiculously strong. I feel a little pity for his opponent. Who is the unlucky guy who got the mighty one in the first round?"
"Yes, it is said that he kills every qualifier with one punch and shows no mercy."
"The player on the red side is——"
The commentator can draw out his voice to build up a sense of anticipation. He will reveal the answer only when everyone's eyes are focused on the player channel.
"No. 00005, Charlotte!"
After the words fell, a mage wearing a lavender robe and holding a bright silver staff appeared at the end of the passage, his expression looking calm and relaxed.
"What the hell?"
"What an unlucky guy!"
"Isn't this the guy who got 20 draws in a row?"
Hearing such exclamations, the smile on Charlotte's face was a little stiff, but he still bowed politely and greeted the audience.
"This is one of the four wealthy families - the president of Magic Coin!"
"It looks great now, let's have a strong conversation!"
"Here you go, look at the equipment on him!" "One, two, three, four or nine rare pieces of equipment. Even the rings on his hands are glowing with blue light. He is really rich!"
"As expected of the president of a wealthy family, even if you sell me, you can't afford so many magical costumes!"
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the Master!"
After hearing various exclamations from the audience, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction.
This is the card that a wealthy president should have!
The commentator continues to output: "It seems that everyone's mood is very high!"
"It is indeed a final. Both sides of the competition are top players in their respective fields. The blue side is the mighty Tianlong known as the 'One Punch Monk', and the red side is Charlotte, the president of the top wealthy magic coin."
< br>
"So - who will win this game? Let's wait and see!"
In the spacious arena, Charlotte and Dawei Tianlong faced off from a distance.
Whether it's the aura of the mage or the tall and strong figure of the monk, they all put a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent.
Facing such a powerful enemy, both sides looked serious and did not take it lightly at all.
"Three, two, one
"The game begins!"
The referee gave an order, announcing the start of the battle.
"Bang!"
There was only a dull sound. Dawei Tianlong's feet made the ground crack and dust flew up. He jumped up, leaving an afterimage in the air.
This is the ability of the monk [fly over the roof and walk over the wall], which consumes the true energy in the body and achieves the effect of high-speed movement.
"Shua——"
The howling wind makes a sound.
The two-meter-tall monk came through the air like this, and it was difficult for people in the audience to see its trajectory clearly with the naked eye.
"Suffer death!"
Dawei Tianlong roared.
The commentator's voice was full of passion: "You can see that Dawei Tianlong's playing style is very aggressive. He wants to close the distance by flying over the wall and killing him with one blow! It's too fast!"
"But as a mage, Charlotte is by no means helpless!"
Charlotte looked at the mighty Tianlong in mid-air and gently rubbed the ring in her hand.
【MIZONGBU】
"Boom!"
The bald monk fell to the ground, creating a large crater, but only a thin silvery smoke remained where the mage had just stood.
Charlotte had already appeared dozens of meters away. He raised his wand, and the top of it released dazzling lightning.
"Boom——"
A bolt of lightning tore through the air and struck the monk not far away.
The speed of lightning has exceeded human body reaction, and even the mighty Tianlong has difficulty avoiding it.
The strong body of the monk was instantly pierced by lightning, leaving traces of burnt black marks, but his mouth was full of white teeth.
But spells require preparation.
Casting a spell is a bit stiff!
"Beautiful defensive counterattack! You can see that the Charlotte player used the wandering step to create distance and then released the lightning beam to cause damage!"
"But Dawei Tianlong's body is so powerful! He actually took this blow!"
The moment Charlotte released the lightning beam, Dawei Tianlong took a hard blow, then stepped on the ground again, approaching quickly.
What a speed!
Charlotte was shocked. Before he could cast his next spell, the monk had already come to him and waved his fist, which was bigger than a casserole.
A strong wind came.
"You have a small skill, but you still dare to do the same thing! A mighty dragon!"
"When——"
There was a crisp sound, Charlotte remained motionless, and a magic film appeared around him, blocking the extremely powerful punch.
It's Otiluk's elastic shield!
Instead, the bald monk was blown away by the power of the spell.
Charlotte grinned and raised the battle mage wand in her hand, which released a faint red light.
That's it now!
This monk has no chance of dodge!
【Human Immobilization Technique】
Light red light shot out and headed straight for the monk.
But the mighty Tianlong roared angrily, and with its powerful control over his body, he forcibly twisted his body in the air and dodged the blow.
But Charlotte rubbed another ring on her left hand, creating an invisible force field that enveloped the monk.
【Slow down】
Dawei Tianlong's speed suddenly became extremely slow, and his movements in mid-air almost stopped.
The commentator's voice became louder and louder: "It's a slowing spell! It's a range spell, and the powerful Tianlong players can't dodge with their mobility advantage!"
"His attack this time was a bit reckless! Can the Charlotte player end the game?"
Charlotte used the Lost Step again, came behind the monk, raised her staff, and prepared to give him the final blow.
At this moment, the mighty Tianlong who was fixed in mid-air released some kind of power from the string of beads around his neck.
The spell is invalid!
This looks like a decorative rosary, but actually it contains an anti-magic orb!
The bald monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes can also deceive people!
The commentator said: "It's because the spell is invalid! Player Dawei Tianlong has hidden anti-magic means. He is looking for opportunities to get close!"
Dawei Tianlong instantly came into contact with him from his imprisoned state, and his muscles all over his body moved.
He turned around and rushed towards Charlotte, who was not far away, who seemed to be frozen in place with fright, without forgetting to laugh loudly.
"Hahaha! You didn't expect it! Let me catch you!"
"The mighty heavenly dragon! World-honored Ksitigarbha, Panya Babamaco!"
With howling wind, he punched out, and the casserole-sized fist hit the mage directly in the face!
"Boom!"
"What is this?"
The bald monk had a surprised look on his face. Instead of feeling the expected punch to the flesh, his hand was hit in vain.
And the "Charlotte" standing there suddenly exploded.
Chains covered with fangs appeared out of thin air, wrapping around his strong body and holding him in place.
The commentator spoke very fast and his tone became more and more excited: "Oh my God! In the blink of an eye, the situation reversed again!"
"You may not have seen clearly, but just now, player Charlotte moved into the blind spot of player Dawei Tianlong, released a high-level phantom, and placed a sharp fang trap in the phantom."
"And he himself entered a state of invisibility, so that the Dawei Tianlong player mistakenly thought that the phantom was the real him!"
"Obviously, Charlotte's arrangement was successful! Dawei Tianlong was frozen in place and unable to move!"
"Will the game end here?"
Only then did Charlotte emerge from invisibility, with a relaxed smile on her face.
He had long sensed that something was wrong. How could the president of a large guild not have anti-magic means?
This kid must be trying to trick him!
However, this bald monk's physique is so powerful that it is difficult to kill him with one hit using ordinary spells.
Once the immobilizing effect of [Sharp Fang Trap] wears off, the situation may be reversed again.
Without the protection of the spell, Charlotte's 11 points of fragile physique could not withstand the punch of the bald monk.
This is what happens in a battle between masters. The situation is ever-changing and opportunities are fleeting.
The night is long and there are many dreams, so you must not hold back!
Thinking of this, Charlotte touched the mithril necklace that shone with ice-blue light on her chest, which their guild got from the frost giant ruins.
The cold spell has a special attack effect on players with red dragon blood. Although the mighty Tianlong does not have the characteristics of dragon descendants, its inhuman muscles are essentially brought about by dragon blood.
【Ice Cone Technique】
"Shua——"
A huge ice pick appeared and suddenly pierced the monk who was immobilized not far away, piercing the strong body.
Blood splattered and cold light shone.
Fine boulders fell.
Dawei Tianlong, who had an ice pick pierced through his chest, finally couldn't hold on anymore. The cold spread and half of his body was turned into ice.
Immediately afterwards, the muscular body collapsed and lost its life.
Dawei Tianlong died.
The commentator passionately announced the result of the game: "Let us congratulate the Charlotte players for winning this game!"
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the Master!"
"President!"
"You guys are so dirty when it comes to playing mages!"
In the audience, cheers were like waves.
On the throne on the high platform, Cassius also rubbed his chin and nodded gently.
"Not bad. It seems that this group of players already has a certain level of strength."
"At least. Stronger than the players at this stage in the original history." (End of Chapter)
