Chapter 278 - An End, A New Beginning
Lin Li shook his head, and said nothing. He just muttered a spell, and countless red vines covered the Aurora Square like tide water.
“It’s the Blood-vine Spell again!”
Before the audience could calm down, the crazy blood-vines grabbed Matthias’ body. It was as though those blood-red vines had their own consciousness. The moment they caught onto Matthias’ body, their prickles sunk into his flesh like leeches, sucking his sweet fresh blood hungrily.
“AHHH…” Matthias let out a weak scream. It was as though he had his throat strangled by someone.
The audience was dumbfounded. Everybody stared at that scene blankly. Aldwin shook his head, and a bitter smile surfaced on his face. This old man who had been managing the Alanna for decades felt that he was out of control for the first time. The battle was a disaster. Although he had already intervened in the flow of the finals, he could not change the end result.
The silence in the Aurora Square was deafening. There was only sound from the growing blood-vines.
A blood-vine that was filled with blood climbed around Matthias’ neck. It was like a poisonous snake. Everyone could tell that if it were to tighten further, the heir of the Marathon Family would die in the Aurora Square.
“The ultimate victory goes to Felic from the Jarrosus!” Herza’s voice was very clear. At this time, the audience who were stunned got back to reality. A round of thunderous applause filled the arena.
The two-month-long trial might appear to have ended with the applause. However, to most people, it was just the start.
