NovelEnglishUnfortunately, things weren't exactly as Eric might have wished for, and it wouldn't be an underestimate to say that it was anything but what he might have wished for.
That was because the faces, gazes, and intents of all the other 4 experts in the cage were directed at him.
Of course, his poison abilities, which he had shown until now were extremely scary, and that might be one of the reasons. But he could tell that the biggest reason didn't have anything to do with that.
After all, what kind of organizer would want to pay billions of dollars in lost bet money, as there were three big winners if Eric managed to pull this off.
Quite a few people in the crowd and those in the private luxurious boxes could understand what was going on, and some of them were just pitying the guy, while the rest were angry at the Arena.
Either way, the guy who had pulled such a stunt was bound to get lynched by the crowd, and people, he was going to lose a lot.
…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was clear that each and every one of them wanted to be the one who killed him, but he didn't seem bothered by the fact.
Still, in order to prepare, he needed for a bit of time, so he looked at them with a smirk on his face, as he said,
You seem so old, weak, and brittle that you might disappear from just one touch of mine! He is throwing his money away with you guys!
Truly disappointing!"
"Heheheh~! Kid, do you think you can rile us up!? Do you think that we are similar to all those little idiots you fought earlier!?
This old thing was quite clever, as he was not only telling about Eric's intentions, but also revealing everyone's worries, and subtly implying to reach at a common solution.
This is extremely funny! I truly want to know what you are going to do now! Well, you don't have to worry about me, just go on and discuss it together!
I would truly not like to see the crowd storm the place and destroy the Arena! After all, people have bet quite a bit of money in this battle!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
For some reason from the moment that he had entered the cage, he could feel that there was something wrong with this place, but he didn't understand what.
Sharping his sense to the best of his abilities, and checking every inch of his surroundings, he tried his best to find what kind of trap Eric had set for them, but he couldn't find anything.
"How about this everyone, we will kill him together at the same time, and whoever wins, in the end, will get the price for killing him!
The other old experts all looked at him with a tinge of caution, but they agreed to the proposal. It made a lot of sense, a dead man doesn't have a need for earthly money.
"Brat don't take this personally, is your own fault for offending someone you shouldn't!"
"Have a good journey to hell!"
Since this guy was a bloody murderer, who had his fingerprint in many massacres, he was also the one who had the sharpest senses among them.
Like that, three old experts immediately launched their 'powerful' attacks toward their targets, but of the three only one was sent towards Eric, as Master Heartless defended himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat was surprising was that none of the attacks actually landed on Eric! This was shocking!
Since none of them expected any powerful counterattack from Eric they had disregarded their defense against him and focused only on the other experts around their selves.
While the crowd looked at this situation with shock, Eric looked at it with a bit of displeasure, he had thought that he would be able to take these guys down in one move.
From the moment he had first stepped into the cage tonight he had been spreading amounts of hallucinogenic gas, in order to create the current situation where these guys found their target at anyone beside him.
It was good for him, that the old man who had proposed the idea wasn't one to give up easily, as despite his first attack not working, he immediately followed with another one.
What surprised him though, was the fact that he was attacking Master Heartless full of hostility and anger. For a moment he couldn't help but wonder if that guy had been truly affected or affected too much.
Even though the two of them were in such a situation though, he couldn't really act directly and quickly. After all, even a lean camel is stronger than a horse.
Even though those guys were supposedly unable to move even a finger from their body, the moment they felt the danger they immediately moved and parried away the two daggers.
Of course, their actions forced both of them to cough a few mouthfuls of blood, but they still managed to keep their lives.
Still, the battle seemed to have only begun…
