The night sky was covered with thick dark clouds, but at the edge of the dark clouds, purple moonlight could be seen faintly. For the aggressive Demons of Dark Moon City, tonight was a very important day.
In the arena, a duel was about to begin.
Unlike usual days, the arena didn't arrange any other matches tonight because those battles were insignificant compared to this one.
Just a few days ago, the news of this battle had already spread like wildfire.
The two sides of this battle were the owner of the arena, Higher Demon Arux and the leader of the Cloak Gang, Aguile.
Arux was the head of the three strongest scythes under the Financial Officer Joseph Alvin. He was the peak of Higher Demon. In the conflict with the Karon Family a month ago, he fought with Karon Family's strongest peak of Higher Demon, Salado. As a result, both of them suffered heavy losses. Half a month later, Arux challenged Salado again, and he lost to Salado.
After the battle, Salado admitted that he wasn't as good as Arux. Arux was close to the critical point of breaking through the limit of Higher Demon. Once he found the opportunity, he could advance to Demon King with the identity of a non-mutated Great Demon.
Once he advanced to Demon King, even if Arux himself didn't change, the bloodline of his descendants was likely to mutate and become a Great Demon with mutated bloodline. The higher his own strength level, the stronger the mutated bloodline of his descendants. For Demons other than the royal family, this was the most enviable thing.
Of course, potential had always been the biggest bottleneck of Demons since ancient times. It wasn't easy to break through the limit. It depended on whether Arux could grasp the tiny chance to advance successfully.
As for today's Aguile, he was also a mysterious powerhouse.
In the beginning, Aguile was just a small character who could barely participate in the lowest stage of Intermediate Demon's battle. Then, he gradually climbed up. In just one month, he had encountered a total of three opponents, the early stage of Intermediate Demon, "Bloody Hand" Lance, the middle stage of Intermediate Demon, "Quick Wolf" Jesse, and the strongest "Balrog" Reka. Every battle was a leap, and he won every battle. However, his current opponent was Arux. Intermediate Demon and Higher Demon were a realm apart. The difference in realms was incomparable to the difference in ranks of the same realm. Even if Aguile had defeated the strongest Intermediate Demon, Rex, it was the same. There was no suspense at all.
Moreover, it was only a month since Aguile defeated the Balrog, Reka. In other words, Aguile was only at the lowest strength of the Intermediate Demon when he first participated in the arena battle. In just two months, he had to compete with the strongest Higher Demon, Arux.
Most people didn't think that Aguile had the possibility of winning, but just like how Aguile kept defeating impossible opponents before, some people thought that Aguile could create a miracle again, especially since this battle was announced by Arux himself.
The strongest Higher Demon in the arena should also be the strongest in the Dark Moon Estate. The opponent personally appointed by Arux, who was known for his belligerence, would not be weak. Could it be that Aguile, who could only fight against Intermediate Demons, could be promoted to Higher Demon after a month of not seeing him? And he could even fight against Arux who was at the peak of Higher Demon?
With people's interest in Aguile, the Cloak Gang led by Aguile also rose in status. With the sign of the Palace Guards Reserve, the Cloak Gang had become one of the biggest emerging forces in the Dark Moon. Of course, the key person was still Aguile. Once Aguile was defeated, the Cloak Gang would also disintegrate.
No matter what, the audience was looking forward to this battle.
A Higher Demon's battle hadn't appeared in the arena for a long time, not to mention a Higher Demon at the peak. Today's battle not only attracted a large number of spectators, but the arena was rarely full. Not only Higher Demons like Salador, Royce, and Vasasha were watching the battle, even the owner of the Dark Moon Estate, Princess Royal, Jía, personally came to watch the battle.
Under everyone's attention, Arux appeared in the center of the brightly lit arena with a shiny armor. The Demon Realm worshipped strength the most, so the audience cheered for the strongest in the arena.
Today, there were four more liches in the four corners of the arena. Their role was to cast protective magic when necessary to avoid hurting the audience. This was a necessary equipment for a Higher Demon's battle.
Time passed by, but Aguile still didn't appear. Arux couldn't help but frown. Judging from the performance of the previous few battles, Aguile shouldn't be the kind of person who is afraid to fight. I heard that he has been secretly training and preparing for the battle some time ago. Why hasn't he appeared yet? Do I really have to wait until the time limit is up and chase him through the War Contract?
The audience who was also impatient began to whisper. Aguile must be afraid of Arux's reputation, so he chose to escape in order to save his life.
In the center of the VIP seats, Princess Royal, Jía still had the same unchanging iceberg expression, but her hands in her sleeves were clenched a little tightly. She was worried about another thing. Aguile and Chen Rui had a "symbiotic contract" relationship. Aguile didn't appear. Did something happen to the mine?
As early as when Chen Rui went to the mine, Jía carefully controlled the imp, Slee, secretly to prevent Slee from showing up in the Dark Moon and letting Joseph's men see through the truth. Because of the master-servant contract, if the master died, the servant would also die. On the contrary, as long as the imp was still alive, it proved that Chen Rui was also alive, but it could only prove that he was still alive. Moreover, Slee wasn't around now.
Jía didn't know that in the enemy camp not far away, Royce, whom she had always regarded as a thorn in her side, had the same master as the imp.
Two hours passed. Just when the audience was depressed and wanted to leave, Arux's eyes that had been squinting suddenly lit up.
Unknowingly, there was already an additional figure in the arena.
A figure in a cloak.
The audience was in an uproar. Those who stood up quickly sat down again.
The Cloak Gang members led by the old goblin, Didi, and the dark elf, Jesse, cheered loudly: The leader finally appeared!
The cloak on this person's head fell behind his head due to the high-speed running. On that face, there was a mask that only revealed his eyes, so his true face couldn't be seen clearly.
Arux snorted coldly, "You're finally here."
"Sorry." The masked man covered himself with the cloak again. "I just came from a far place, so I'm a little late. Fortunately, I'm still in time."
The masked man was naturally Chen Rui. He fought with Broc with all his might. Due to the huge difference in strength, he almost died in the end. Just as he was dying, Christina's strength finally recovered and scared Broc away.
Surprisingly, Christina actually saved him. When her blood dripped on his chest, Chen Rui felt a blazing heat, a fire-like heat. Perhaps it was the special power in the blood, or perhaps it was the emotion hidden behind the calmness of an ancient well.
When he woke up, Christina was already gone. She only left one thing, a red piccolo. This piccolo was about 15 centimeters long and delicate and small. Chen Rui still remembered the empty and lonely mood when she played "Solo under the Moonlight". This piccolo should be the instrument at that time.
With Christina's true strength, even a Demon Emperor-level powerhouse like Broc would flee in fear. It was very likely that she was at the peak of the Demon Emperor, or even … Such a powerful woman actually became his first woman, and he became her first man. Now that he thought about it, he felt like he was in a dream. Chen Rui wouldn't go to the Dark Shadow Empire to look for her. Before he obtained the strength that was equal to her or could take her away, he would keep this red piccolo in his heart.
Whether she was a passer-by or a real person that he would have forever, the decision was still in his hands.
Chen Rui took a deep breath and retracted his drifting thoughts. He circulated the Star Power in his body to relieve the tiredness of the journey. He crossed the Red Spirit Estate from the Silent Night Wetland before arriving at the Dark Moon. This was all thanks to the few strongest wyverns sent by the Wyvern King. They traveled day and night, and now they were still hiding somewhere in the outskirts of the city.
Now, Chen Rui had gained the recognition of all the wyverns including the Wyvern King. However, the Wyvern King's injuries were too severe. Even if Chen Rui used a large amount of recovery potions from the exchange center, it would still take at least a month for it to fully recover.
Arux stared at the opponent in front of him and felt the faint power that was emitted. Compared to a month ago, there was a qualitative leap. The fighting spirit in the Great Demon's eyes began to burn, "Very good! You didn't disappoint me. "
Chen Rui's gaze swept past Jía at the VIP seat, "Then, let's begin. It's time to end this."
The two-month War Contract made him jump from the initial Alkaid state Star Collector to the current Star Leader. The huge pressure was also a motivation at the same time.
"Aren't you going to rest? I need an opponent in his best state. In tonight's competition, life and death will determine victory or defeat. "
"There's no need for that." After Chen Rui was resurrected under the effect of Christina's blood, he felt that his energy and strength seemed to have increased significantly. Moreover, he had the characteristics of [Astral Form], so this level of fatigue was nothing.
The power in his body was surging, and he needed to find a place to vent. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding.
"Hmph!" Arux didn't waste any time. Crimson demonic fire started burning on his body. Waves of powerful energy spread to the surroundings with him as the center, like a monstrous wave that was stronger than the previous one.
The audience was moved. Arux used demonic fire as soon as he came up. It seemed like he was ready to go all out!
Many of the audience also noticed that although Arux's aura was shocking, "Aguile" didn't seem to have any movement. However, Aguile's cloak only fluttered slightly. He didn't seem to be affected by Arux's aura.
Just from the invisible exchange of aura, both of them were evenly matched!
Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the real battle to begin.
