Chapter 332 Duel

?"Duel? Why is he suddenly challenging us to a duel?"

"I don't know." New chapters are publɪshed on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

"Did he come to kill Ace?"

"I don't think so. After all, he has not mentioned Ace's name since earlier."

"Hey, doesn't his face resemble that arrogant young man?"

"Arrogant young man? Do you mean Levi?"

"Yes. That young man."

"Now that you say it, his face does resemble him."

"Didn't he say his name was Ryan Holmes? If my memory isn't playing tricks on me, I think Levi is also from the Holmes family."

"Ah. I get it now."

"I see."

The city guards finally knew the reason why Ryan suddenly challenged them to a duel.

"That's right. I'm Levi's elder brother." Ryan admitted it immediately.

"So, he wants to take revenge on us, huh?" Captain Noah said as he touched his chin with his right hand.

When Captain Noah was about to ask Ryan something, Ace's voice rang out.

"What's going on, everyone?" Ace inquired.

"Ace, he is Ryan, Levi's elder brother." Captain Noah responded, "He came to our city to seek revenge."

"He is challenging us to a duel." Lieutenant Alex added.

"Ryan? A duel?" Ace shifted his gaze from Captain Noah to Ryan.

"I promise I won't bring up the matter of my second brother's death and go home immediately if you guys can defeat us in a duel." Ryan uttered, "I will also forget everything. So, how is it?"

Captain Noah and the others looked at Ace.

Even though Ace was not the city lord of Nightshire City, they already treated him like he was their lord because Ace was their hero and Scarlett's lover.

"Sure." Ace accepted instantly.

Ace and the others immediately walked out of the barrier and approached them.

Ryan's lips curled up into a grin.

'Got you!'

He was pleased because everything went according to his plan.

After standing in front of Ryan, Ace inquired, "What kind of duel do you want?"

"We will fight with five people." Ryan told them that participants had to be under thirty years old.

Participants could fight more than once if they could still fight. The last one standing was the winner.

"How can we know the ages of the participants?" Ace did not have any skills that could check their age.

His system was still in sleep mode, so he could only check their strength because their ranks were lower than his.

"I have the skill to check a person's bone age." Ryan responded.

Appearance could be changed with magic, but bones could not be changed, so it was the best method to find out a person's age.

"Sure." Ace did not care even if Ryan lied to him because the strongest among them was only at the Grandmaster rank.

"Ace, what if he lies to us later?" Captain Noah inquired.

"It's fine." Ace responded calmly.

"Then choose your participants now." Ryan uttered, "I will choose people who will be in my group."

Ace immediately selected four people under thirty years old.

He could not choose Captain Noah, Lieutenant Alex, Layla, or Lexie because they were over thirty years old.

For this reason, he randomly chose four people to participate in the duel because he planned to end the duel alone.

"I've finished selecting people for my group." Ryan added. "What about you?"

"I've finished choosing too." Ace responded.

Ryan immediately checked their bone age. "Alright. Let's start now."

"I will be the first fighter." After saying that, Ace walked forward.

"Young master Ryan, let me be the first fighter." The man named Dexter uttered.

"Sure." Even though Dexter was only at the Elite rank, Ryan let him fight first.

After standing in front of Ace, Dexter uttered, "I'm Dexter."

"Ace." Ace responded.

Dexter retrieved his spear from his space ring and rushed toward Ace. "I will attack you now."

Unlike Dexter, Ace did not use his sword because he could defeat Dexter with his bare hands.

'I will end this fast.'

With that idea in mind, Ace used the Lightning Move skill.

Dexter widened his eyes in shock when Ace suddenly disappeared.

'Where is he?'

He stopped running and turned his head to the left and right, skimming his surroundings.

"I'm behind you." After saying that, Ace hit the back side of Dexter's neck, causing him to faint instantly.

'One down.'

He added in his head.

"Nice!"

"Good job, Ace."

"Noice!"

"As expected of Ace, he is amazing."

The city guards said happily.

Ryan and the others were unhappy, but they did not say anything.

It was only the first match, so there was still a chance to beat Ace's group.

After turning his body toward Ryan, Ace uttered, "Next."

"Young master Ryan, please let me fight him." the blue-haired man spoke abruptly.

"Alright." Ryan responded.

And like before, Ace could defeat his opponent in one move.

Ace even did not use his full power because his opponent was too weak for him.

"Next." Ace uttered.

"Young master, please let me fight him." The yellow-haired man uttered.

"Go and defeat him." Ryan responded.

However, the yellow-haired man suffered the same fate as Dexter.

He was defeated in one move too!

Ryan then sent the fourth fighter.

He told the fourth fighter not to attack Ace and to stand in a defensive position.

Ace always defeated his opponent in one move, so Ryan hoped the fourth fighter could last longer.

However, the reality was so cruel.

Even though he was in a defensive position, Ace could still defeat him in one move.

The difference in power between them was huge, so whatever strategy they used, the results would still be the same.

"You're the only one left now." Ace said as he looked at Ryan.

"The winner still hasn't been decided." Ryan walked toward Ace as he held his black spear.

'Even though he is stronger than I thought, he will still die in my hands later.'

He added in his head.

Like before, Ace did not retrieve his sword. "Let's end this now."

"I will attack you now!" Ryan rushed toward Ace while pointing his spear forward, intending to stab Ace's chest.

Even though Ryan could be called a talented awakener, but his talent could not be compared to Ace's.

Ryan's agility was only at level 60, while Ace's was already at level 120. Be it strength, agility, stamina, or mana capacity, Ace excelled in all of them.

However, Ace did not make Ryan faint because Ryan was their leader.

He controlled his power when he attacked Ryan.

Bang!

Ryan was sent flying several meters before finally falling to the ground.

After Ryan rose to his feet, Ace appeared in front of him and uttered, "You lose."

Ryan looked at Ace before finally speaking, "We lose."

Ace returned to where Captain Noah and the others were. "Now go back to your home, and don't cause any more trouble in our city."

"That's right. Go back to your house now." the blue-haired man repeated Ace's words.

"Haha. Because we lose the duel, then I will use the plan B now." after saying that, Ryan pointed his right index finger at Ace and the others. "Attack them. Kill them all!'

"So, you don't want to keep your promise, huh?" Actually, Ace had guessed this before.

'Then don't blame me for killing you.'
