"Do you see this, Your Excellency Botta? This is our latest achievement!"
Botta stared at the two tumors, his eyes narrowing.
But he quickly regained his composure and laughed:
"Your Excellency Margarita, these are probably just two useless tumors."
"Hehe, Lord Bota, just watch."
Margarita said with a smile.
She now has complete confidence.
The atmosphere in the arena had reached its peak with the appearance of the second-tier demon bat.
Everyone was shouting their support for the side they had bet on.
One of the familiar voices was shouting not far from Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu looked in that direction.
It was that fat man who had once invited him to the arena.
But at this moment, he was not on Luo Xiu's side.
He shouted at the top of his lungs at the demonic bat:
"Tear him apart! Tear him apart!! Tear his precious thing to shreds!!!"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, his whole body turning red from his neck to his face. His facial expression was completely filled with madness, his thick lips moving wildly and spittle flying everywhere.
This wasn't just about his career advancement; he had staked his entire fortune on the Demon Bat.
To make a fortune in one fell swoop.
Luo Xiu scratched his head.
Seeing the fat man's appearance, even he felt that what was about to happen seemed a bit too cruel.
The iron cage containing the demon bats was opened by two sorcerers standing on the high platform.
call out! ! !
The demonic bat immediately spread its wings from the iron cage and darted out like a shadow.
Its two pairs of huge, broad wings immediately stirred up gusts of wind and dust on the field.
The spectators in the stands, however, showed no fear whatsoever; they simply continued to cheer and shout encouragement, their eyes fixed solely on the outcome of the match.
In front of them were layers of cursed seals laid down by sorcerers, which helped them resist the onslaught from the raging winds of demonic bats.
The demon bat stared at its only target in the arena and let out a series of roars.
A ring of black magic covered the edges of its two pairs of wings, as if a painting had been outlined with a black pen.
Two-Winged Demon Bat Skill: [Demon Wings]
Its speed suddenly increased, and its two pairs of wings seemed to be able to cut through everything in front of it under the blessing of black magic.
Luo Xiu seemed to be frightened by the scene before him, and he trembled as he backed away, running towards the original entrance.
This action immediately caused a huge uproar on the scene.
Those who had captured Luo Xiu continued to curse, as Luo Xiu's escape made them feel as if they could already see themselves losing everything.
This despair led them to curse and even weep bitterly.
Those who had bet on the demon bat were overjoyed.
Especially the fat man standing very close in the stands, his expression was extremely excited:
"Go!! Go!!! Tear this coward to pieces!!! Tear him to pieces!!!"
He could already see his promotion in his eyes; the money he won from betting meant he was about to soar to the top!
The demon bat watched as Luo Xiu fled in front of it.
The violent and frenzied power within its body was causing it immense pain, and it needed to find a place to vent its anger. Luo Xiu in front of it was undoubtedly the best choice.
From its mouth, invisible sound waves spread out, carrying a mental shock far exceeding its previous level, surging towards Luo Xiu.
Two-Winged Demon Bat Skill: [Demonic Sound's Intimidation]
Luo Xiu's fleeing figure suddenly stopped, as if his mind had become dazed under the influence of those sound waves.
"superior!!!!"
The fat man was so excited that his voice became hoarse; he felt like his vocal cords were about to be torn off.
But he didn't care at all.
Once Luo Xiu is captured by the demon bat, it will all be over!!!
Once Luo Xiu is torn to pieces, they will use methods to try and keep Luo Xiu's soul in that broken body. Then everything will be perfect!
I got everything I wanted without violating the agreement!
Amidst the fat man's shout, the demonic bat swooped down like a shadow, pouncing towards Luo Xiu!
Closer and closer!
Luo Xiu looked at the demonic bats rushing towards him and, with trembling hands, drew his black broadsword.
The fat man's eyes were mocking.
Should I draw my sword now?
What's the point?!
"Come on!!!"
He watched excitedly as the demon bat pounced and was now within arm's reach of Luo Xiu.
He stood up!
His blood surged violently!
He has completely gone mad!
He saw the demon bat pounce on Luo Xiu!
I've got it! I have it all!! Everything is mine!!!
He revelled, tears of joy welling in his eyes. His obese body suddenly twisted, his back to the arena, and he raised his hands to the audience in the stands, declaring himself the victor of the duel.
But in his eyes, the audience in the stands suddenly fell silent.
The cheers stopped, the shouts stopped, and the curses stopped.
Everyone seemed to freeze in place.
What happened?
Why did it stop?
A terrible premonition welled up inside him, and his joyful expression froze on his face.
He reassured himself that everything was alright, but his movement of turning around was still somewhat trembling.
Then when he turned around, he saw Luo Xiu lying on the ground in the arena, trembling with fear.
The demonic bat pounced on him and fell completely silent.
The black broadsword in Luo Xiu's trembling hand pierced through its body and plunged into its heart, looking like an accident.
Chapter 87 The Fat Man Who Fell into the Abyss
How, how could this happen?
The fat man's expression was stiff, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Cold sweat poured down his back, and a bone-chilling coldness spread throughout his body.
"No, no, it can't be! This isn't real..."
His thick lips trembled incessantly as he stammered:
"It must be a hallucination. The Demon Bat couldn't possibly be dead like this..."
As if completely possessed, he muttered to himself while looking toward the center of the arena.
I hope to see some different results.
He clung to his last hope that the bat had merely paused its actions temporarily, rather than dying.
But Luo Xiu, who had been lying on his back in the arena, slowly got up and pushed away the lifeless demon bat clinging to him. This completely shattered the fat man's last hope.
Do not!
The fat man felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He opened his mouth, wanting to completely vent the pain and resentment in his heart.
But it simply can't be done.
Just minutes before, he felt he had won everything, but now he had nothing left. The feeling of falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley left him speechless. He could only kneel down in despair, tears and snot streaming down his swollen face.
He's finished, completely finished.
The fact that this demonic bat was killed so easily signifies a complete failure in this alchemical potion development project.
When those above take their anger out on him, he will inevitably become the scapegoat who is ultimately pushed out.
Even if he hadn't bet his entire fortune on the Demon Bat, his life was already over.
Center of the field.
It wasn't until Luo Xiu stood up, picked up the lifeless demon bat, and flaunted his spoils like a lucky winner that the spectators in the stands finally realized what was happening.
Luo Xiu won this duel!
Suddenly, the previously silent stands erupted into a thunderous commotion.
There were loud shouts for Luo Xiu's title, and a barrage of curses against the Demon Bat. But most of all, there were insults and doubts about the arena.
The death of the Demon Bat was so dramatic that those who lost everything firmly believed it was likely a "fixed match" held by the arena!
This demonic bat must have been tampered with in its lifetime, making it appear stronger than ordinary demonic bats, but in reality, it is all bark and no bite!
