Chapter 312: The Competition-6, Critical wounds.
Athan was the first one to win, and he was transported to an underground hall where no one was in sight.
He was directly transported here after winning.
It looks like the one who arranged the competition did its best so that competitors wouldn\'t see each other\'s ability.
From the start, Competitors were underground, and they would suddenly appear in the ring. Those below can\'t see what\'s happing.
Those who win are transported to a different place in the underground, while those who lose are simply kicked out and joins the spectators.
Athan simply waited here as his abyssal darkness slowly recovered. He also devoured some chaos stones to fill up the milky white aura he used to create pills.
After five minutes, someone appeared, but the person wasn\'t Shish. Athan looked at him but didn\'t know if this person was in the same ring as Shish as he didn\'t pay attention when he was up there.
This competitor had bat-like wings with glittering khaki skin. He had a flat nose and long ears. His skin color was navy blue with brown stripes. His height approx 5.6ft, and he approached Athan with a smile, " You finished your match so fast! very impressive. "
" Thanks. "
Athan said with a plain face as he glanced at him.
" Hahaha. By the way, I am Cheribo Hufnel. " Cheribo laughed and introduced himself as he stretched his hand out towards Athan for a handshake.
Athan nodded and also stretched his right hand out for a handshake.
But of course, It wasn\'t a simple handshake. Cheribo had a smile on his face as he put force into his hand to squeeze Athan\'s hand to test his strength.
*Crack....*
" Shit...Hey, Why didn\'t you resist? what the fuck...."
Athan\'s expression didn\'t change as he simply took back his mangled right hand after Cheribo let it go.
Cheribo was speechless, \' What\'s wrong with this guy? I was just trying to test his body strength but he....\'
" Conflicts outside of the competition rounds are not allowed or you both will be disqualified. "
A voice echoed in the underground hall as Cheribo started sweating, " It won\'t happen again, sir. "
He then looked at Athan and sighed.
Athan\'s mangled right hand was slowly healing due to his body\'s healing factor activating.
It was not like he didn\'t want to resist. But this Cheribo\'s body strength was simply more powerful than his current body strength. From his estimation, Cheribo\'s body strength was likely at the peak of the Red realm.
So the speechless one was Athan, \' He must have felt that I should be very strong both body strength and order base wise since I finished early. \'
After all, There were no weaklings left among the two hundred fifty competitors, and since Athan defeated four opponents quickly, Cheribo assumed that he was likely a contender for the top ten or even top 3. That\'s why he approached Athan in a friendly manner and just wanted to test his strength.
After a while, Another person appeared in the underground hall. Seeing him, Athan smiled wryly.
\' It looks like Shish failed. \'
Normally, Shish should at least be able to get into the top 50 with his overall strength and can even contend for the top 30. But failing here means that he met a tough one in the ring among his opponents.
Athan looked at the new face, who didn\'t mask his heavy but also sharp aura at all. This person had a single thick charcoal horn on his forehead with light yellow patterns. His body was 7ft tall and had explosive muscles on his big arms and legs. There was also an alligator-like tail behind him with charcoal-colored scales.
His body was covered with different kinds of blood.
Athan narrowed his eyes as he felt the aura of Shish from the red blood stained on this buffy guy.
Cheribo gulped as if he knew who this person was and transmitted his voice into Athan\'s ears, " That big guy is known as Gemdamo. He is a newly picked pupil of Demon Xubaji and has a special body physique. He is at peak ninth stage of the Tier-1 order base and also at peak Red realm body strength. He...likes to toy with people who are weaker than him. Also, He is considered to be a contender for the top 3. Be careful when you meet him in the ring later. "
Athan frowned hearing that as he had a bad feeling for Shish\'s situation. Nonetheless, He is not supposed to do anything here. After nodding at Cheribo, He simply closed his eyes in meditation.
Outside, Roselin and Drizzly had worried faces as they were descending the stadium\'s floors and going towards the place arranged for those who lost and were recovering from their injuries.
They arrived there and saw Shish suppressing his screams as he ate the blood recovery pills and alignment cure pills.
His condition appeared critical, with his right leg entirely gone and many wounds on his body.
His eyes were already filled with tears due to pain, and when he saw Roselin, his eyes burst out as he spoke while trembling, " Si-Sister, I...I tried my best. "
Roselin\'s eyes were also moist as she nodded with a sad smile while biting her lips, " Yep. You did your best. Now take some rest. "
She stretched her hand forward before touching the forehead of Shish with her index finger. Right after that, Shish lost consciousness and fainted.
After that, She took out a pill that was glittering with crimson color with green pattern and put it inside Shish\'s mouth as it dissolved.
One could tell just from the pill\'s appearance that it was a very high-class and expensive pill.
" That bastard is really ruthless. He was totally aiming for the kill. "
Drizzly said as she remembered the fight in the ring.
A dangerous gleam passed through Roselin\'s eyes, but it was mixed with helplessness as she said while gritting her teeth, " All people of Demon Xubaji are ruthless. I really wish someone would kill him or just drive him away from this region. "
Drizzly shook her head wryly as she knew that it was a difficult matter. Demon Xubaji was one of the top powerhouses in this region, and very few could match up to him and give him a fight. Other powerhouses on the same level as him wouldn\'t fight seriously unless a serious matter was involved, but Xubaji had never stirred those powerful people. His people would only bully the weak.
