SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 188: Shadow Strike

"Are you sure?" The arbiter asked Kent for confirmation.

"Yes, I'm accepting the challenge of a fighter named Angus." Kent replied while gazing at his opponent, who also stood on the side of the arbiter.

The arbiter stared at Kent for a long time with an unbelievable gaze. He thought Kent used all of his aura to create the fire phenix in the last fight. But Kent didn't appear exhausted or run out of aura reserves.

"This guy is definitely something..." The arbiter shook his head and picked up his wand to announce the fight between Kent and Angus.

"Fighter Kent accepted the Heavenly Justice. The fight will take place after preparation time." The arbiter's voice resounded loudly throughout the Arena. With the change of clock on Aurora Glass, the crowd erupted in loud roars as everyone made cries.

Unknowingly, some people began chanting Kent's name, impressed by his willingness to accept a challenge against a fighter who is four levels higher than him. The Arena also filled up to the brim, and the coin jar beside Fatty continued to make sound as he dropped things nonstop.

"How did this fellow grow up so fast?!" Black belle Miss Ria, who is staring at Kent from the audience, muttered with a grim look. She gritted her teeth in frustration as she cursed herself for being a frog at the bottom of the well.

"I should stop wasting my time by following Larry. If I'm strong enough, the Moonbrook family will fall on my feet to marry their son." Ria thought as her gaze darted towards Larry, who is shaking with tension. He is worried about losing his gambler rank if Zi Chen loses the fight against Kent.

Meanwhile, people began checking the backgrounds of Fatty and Kent through forums. The betting amount showed 313 spirit stones, which is a large sum, and returning three times is not a small matter.

But after seeing the rank-one status of Fatty, many wondered who helped Fatty set up a match in the central Arena. But no one stopped betting, as Gambler's Syndicate ensures everyone gets a return even by selling the dead body of the gambler.

Kent, standing opposite the fighter, Angus, began making his plans for the next fight. As the opponent is a water element practitioner, he thought of attacks of ice blocks, ice prisons, water blasts, and frost bind spells. After much thought, Kent decided to use his pet Fire Kirin in this fight to dodge sudden water blast spells, and the fire balls of Fire Kirin can counter several spells.

But fighter Angus is thinking the complete opposite of Kent. He thought of staying on the ground, as he felt it would surprise Kent and give him a chance to make initial attacks. Also, he is at the at the peak of the master magus stage; he doesn't want to lose his reputation by losing against Kent within a few spells.

"10... 9... 8..."

"Ahhh..."

A loud, painful cry followed as Angus fell to the ground. "I'm done," Angus thought as his body fell to the ground. He didn't even dare to get up and fight, as Kent was ready to rain down punches if he dares.

"What a dumbass... I lost all my spirit stones."

Several spectators cursed Angus for not fighting back and for being a high-level fighter. The fight ended quicker than the previous one. No one expected a 1st-level master magus could win against a peak master magus so easily.

The arbiter soon announced the winner, and the crowd began chanting Kent's name, impressed by his wit. The fatty began dancing at the edge of the arena with loud shouts. With this much income, his rank is definitely going to rise by leaps and bounds.

Just as everyone thought of leaving the Arena as the arbiter prepared to announce the next match, But just then, dramatic music began playing in the Arena and the arena turned completely black. A focus light fell from the top, focusing a fighter who stood with his head down.

"What the fuck...? Is there another revenge fight?"

"Omg, it's going to be divine justice...!!!"

"Idiots... Only the top ten rankers will get this type of dramatic entrance."

A six-legged, tiger-faced lizard appeared beside the fighter, who stood under the focus light. Immediately, the crowd erupted as everyone recognized the pet."

"It's Zi Chen, the ground burner."
