Chapter 63
They had seen many arrogant people before, however none were as arrogant as this guy!
How dare a mere beginner apprentice provoke and challenge a group of elite enforcers who were, at the minimum, advanced apprentices? No doubt this was an act that truly provoked the ire of the crowd.
While grinning viciously, one after another elite apprentice accepted this bet. At the same time, they kept cheering, encouraging, threatening and teasing Dark Wood, wanting him to teach this unbridled rascal a good lesson. Following the piling up of the bet, the crowd became more excited. Eventually they even pushed Hulk aside, and started clustering around both men to escort them into the battlefield.
Watching his enthusiastic peers, Hulk’s expression couldn’t help but turn strange. He secretly pulled Kevin into a corner.
“Kid, you’re the one who referred this guy here. You better not give me trouble. Do you think he has a chance of winning?”
“Ugh… according to the memory that Adept Angus extracted from her soul, this Greem owns a pretty powerful Earth Element Golem. Perhaps… maybe… if he brings all his ability into play, I think there is a possibility he can save himself from losing. However, it is absolutely impossible he can defeat Dark Wood!”
After obtained a satisfying answer, Hulk couldn’t help but feel excited too.
“Guys, get your ass out from the field and leave them alone! I don’t want that kid to have any excuse for his defeat later. Mensa, come here and help me calculate the total bet. Don’t forget to include my bet. I’ll bet two hundred Magic Crystals on Dark Wood!”
In the next second, the raging explosion of Fire Elementium had flooded the tiny region where Dark Wood was standing.
“Eh…”
At the same moment, the elite apprentices outside of the battlefield couldn’t help but exchange an astonished expression with each other. The strength of the attack and the attack pattern of magic spell didn’t look like something a beginner apprentice could do! The spell was casted quickly and had an offensive strength that was as high as 32 points. Were all these something a beginner apprentice could achieve?
No sound could be heard coming from the crowd, as they started to treat this half playful battle with a more serious attitude.
Even those apprentices outside of the battlefield could sense something. Dark Wood, who was being attacked by Dirt Spears and Fire Arrows. had an even stronger feeling. Damn it! It was a combined attack of Earth, Fire and Physical damage! The trembling bone shield, that was being burned by a raging flame, started to show signs of collapse.
A gloomy expression emerged on Dark Wood’s face. Using his conscious, he quickly drove away the other bone shield and replaced the one that was defending all the attacks. Meanwhile, clenching his jaw tightly, he took out a few chunks of black, stinky, rotten meats. He conveniently tossed them beside his feet.
In next moment, Greem drove the Demon Alligator and strode forward. He planned to use the massive body of the Demon Alligator to crush his opponent. Suddenly, a bizarre figure dashed out from the raging flame and threw itself on the ground. It used a totally weird style of running and sprinting around Demon Alligator.
It was a frightening corpse that stood two meters tall. It had a pale body, two heads, five arms and seven legs. The entire body looked like a monster that had been messily pieced up together using a few broken human bodies. It crouched on the ground and moved forward using all five arms and seven legs. This made it move in an unpredictable pattern. It swiftly dodged a few dirt spears that were aimed at its body and soon approached the Demon Alligator who was coming in its way.
The heavy front legs of Demon Alligator pounded on the ground forcefully, causing the ground to keep violently shake. The misshapen corpse, who had just arrived in front of him, was affected by this immediately. It staggered and seemed like it could no longer stand firm.
The Demon Alligator moved aggressively and opened up its huge mouth. It leaped forward and pulled the corpse into its mouth. With a powerful clench, the razor sharp fangs instantly crushed its target into meat paste.
But, a muffled boom suddenly rung through the air. The corpse surprisingly exploded into a huge amount of black blood, which stained the Demon Alligator’s head. After that, under the shocked gaze of Greem, the Earth Elementium that had molded with the Demon Alligator’s head collapsed within a split second. Tons of dirt lost their bond with the Demon Alligator and splattered all over the place.
Damn it! What powerful corrosive black blood. It could even corrode and neutralize Elementium!
But obviously, the controlling crystal of Demon Alligator wasn’t located in its head. If it was, then, perhaps Greem’s trump card would’ve been destroyed in an instant.
Although it lost its head, the Demon Alligator still moved forward vigorously. Strong Earth Elementium once again gathered in front of its body, revealing the outline of a new head.
The self-healing ability of Demon Alligator was pretty convenient, as, as long as its body was still in touch with earth, it would be able to heal 10% of damage every minute. This was one of the biggest reasons why the Demon Alligator Hunter was so hard to defeat!
