Soon, the two challengers came to the challenge venue, in front of a magic circle.
A magic cage was pushed in. In the magic cage was a tall monster that was about three meters tall. It looked ferocious with bulging muscles. There were two sharp horns on its head, blood-red eyes, a huge mouth with sharp fangs, and its skin was purplish green.
Its shoulders, chest, abdomen, and the outside of its thighs were covered with armor-like scales. Its tail was thick and long with barbs on it. The most terrifying thing was its right arm which was extremely huge. The part that was supposed to be a palm had turned into a huge claw.
This was the beast. In [Analytical Eyes], its race was shown as "unknown". Its comprehensive strength had reached B +, the peak of Great Demon King. Physique: B +, Strength: A-, Spirit: C, Agility: B.
It seemed to be a monster with extremely terrifying strength and high attack. Its value had reached a terrifying A-. The only shortcoming was that its spirit was relatively weak, so it could be controlled. With the strength of this monster, even Norris couldn't withstand it. Therefore, from a certain point of view, the conditions of both sides were equal.
"Wait a minute." Norris said, "This Arthur is a mechanic master. He must have a lot of magic instruments on him. For the sake of fairness, I request that we don't use any instruments for this death match."
Sabrina sneered, "If you want the so-called fairness, then I'll first imprison your strength at the early stage of Demon King. How about that?"
Of course, Izola wouldn't agree. She immediately retorted, "How can that be? This challenge was originally proposed by you. Norris should decide the rules."
"Didn't he already decide the rules of this beast? How about changing the challenge method? How about a magic circle? " Sabrina knew that Chen Rui had specially made a "magic instrument" in preparation for the challenge. If she gave in, wouldn't all her previous efforts be in vain? Naturally, she wouldn't give up this advantage.
"Stop being so long-winded." The referee, Sir Crystal Dragon, said, "Both sides can use any magic equipment or instruments. Let's begin. Hurry up!"
As soon as Jacob spoke, no one dared to object. It couldn't be helped. This was the biggest rule of strength.
Norris was not completely unprepared. After his "proposal" was rejected, he immediately put on a ring and a necklace, and took out a skull wand. He thought that these should be able to strengthen his mental control.
However, when he saw Chen Rui's equipment, his sense of superiority immediately fell to the back of his buttocks. Chen Rui was wearing a full set of metal armor, including a helmet, shin guards, leather gloves, rings, and a cape. It could be said that he was armed to the teeth. The most infuriating thing was that he was also holding a large round shield. The whole thing was a moving equipment warehouse.
There were many mechanics masters present, so they could naturally tell that the quality of this set of equipment was extraordinary. It was probably quasi-legendary grade or even legendary grade. Could it be that he made all of them himself? Being trio-specialized is really enviable!
In fact, most of these things came from Paglio's treasure. Equipment matching was a very big knowledge. Not every piece of equipment's attributes added up to the wearer's final total attributes. Some pieces of equipment could enhance each other, some effects couldn't overlap, and some even restrained each other. Although the set that Chen Rui made currently wasn't all legendary grade equipment, the overall coordination was quite good. Especially the defense power, it had reached a very high level. The main purpose was to conceal.
"Master Arthur actually has this outfit." Jacob's eyes lit up. When his gaze fell on the round shield, his greed was already overflowing, "That shield … is it an artifact?"
Artifact! As soon as the crystal dragon said that, there was a sudden uproar around. Norris simply felt like crying. This is too much of a bully. Forget about the legendary grade equipment, he actually … even has an artifact?
Izola and Sabrina were both taken aback. Sabrina had already recognized the shield and was moved, "Illusive Demon Shield … Demon Shield?"
There were even more whispers around: Illusive Demon Shield? One of the top seven artifacts in the Demon Realm? The strongest shield?
Isn't this the artifact of the Leviathan Royal Family? Why is it in Arthur's hands? Could it be that Madam Sabrina gave it to him?
"This was lent to me by Sir Manu for research a few days ago." Chen Rui said the answer himself, "Unfortunately, I still have no clue. However, even if I can't unleash the artifact's power, I should be able to block it with the shield. I hope it won't be broken."
Many people showed disdain like they hated the rich. Breaking the Demon Realm's strongest armor? Not to mention the berserk beasts, even a Demon Overlord can't break it!
Izola's face suddenly turned gloomy, and her heart was full of haze. It wasn't only because of Chen Rui's equipment or the Illusive Demon Shield (Outsiders only knew about the Illusive Demon Shield, but they didn't know that the Illusive Demon Shield and the Demon Shield could be separated), but it was because Manu actually gave the Illusive Demon Shield to this "Arthur", which showed how much he valued it. If "Arthur" died here, Manu would definitely retaliate crazily.
The one with the worst mood wasn't Izola, but Norris. Even if he took out all his belongings, it couldn't be compared to the weight of that shield. This Arthur was fully equipped with superb equipment, and he had Sir Manu and Sir Jacob behind him. How could he compete with him?
He couldn't win or lose now, but losing this Death Match was equivalent to killing himself. It was obviously impossible. He could only hope that the crystal dragon could save "Arthur" in time, then Norris would be declared the winner.
After making up his mind, Norris calmed down and left the distracting thoughts behind. He strode into the magic circle, and Chen Rui also followed him in fully armed.
After the two of them walked in, the magic circle began to light up. This magic circle had the function of a barrier. It could prohibit entry and exit and prevent the audience from being hurt.
The door of the magic cage slowly opened. The beast that was previously isolated by the cage suddenly exuded a terrifying breath. It was mixed with blood and rotten smell, which was creepy. When Chen Rui went in just now, he tried to communicate with it using [Analytical Eyes]. However, he could only feel the crazy and violent killing breath. There was no rational consciousness at all. It was somewhat similar to the demonic flies he encountered in Mountain Xilang. However, the demonic flies were created by the bloodline talent of the Beelzebub Royal Family, while the beast had its own consciousness. However, this consciousness couldn't be controlled and communicated at all.
The beast had been imprisoned and experimented on. Now that it got out of the cage, it immediately transferred its anger to the two people outside. It roared and pounced toward Norris who was closest to it. The beast's speed was B. It was weaker in terms of strength and physique, but it was still at the level of a Great Demon King. It was quite terrifying. The reason why Norris approached the beast wasn't because he wanted to die, but because he wanted to control it within the effective range of his spirit mystic arts. After all, he had the previous experience, so he seemed calm.
Just as the Mad Beast was about to pounce on him, Norris's eyes flashed with a bright light, and a powerful spiritual force surged out. The Mad Beast's huge body suddenly froze, and when it was only two meters away from Norris, it actually froze in mid-air.
Chen Rui had seen this kind of spirit power from Snowden before. It could be used to attack or defend, and it could be cast at will. It was very impressive. Norris's spirit power was obviously a few levels higher than Snowden's. He actually imprisoned the beast at the peak of the Great Demon King strength.
The beast's power exploded and broke free from the confinement of the spirit power. However, it didn't attack Norris in front of it. Instead, it looked at Chen Rui in the distance with its blood-red eyes. It turned out that Norris knew that he couldn't imprison the beast for a long time, so he immediately changed his spirit power. He used a dark magic of hatred transfer to transfer the beast's hatred to Chen Rui.
Chen Rui was already prepared. Before the beast attacked, he took out an item and threw it on the ground. It suddenly lit up with a strong dazzling light. Even the audience outside the magic circle was "blinded" by the strong light. They couldn't open their eyes for a while. Only the crystal dragon, Jacob, wasn't affected. Sabrina and Izola, who had powerful spirit power, also quickly adjusted themselves. There were only a few people left who could see the situation clearly.
The ones who "suffered" the most were naturally the beast and Norris in the magic circle. Their eyes stung like needles and they couldn't see anything at all.
The beast, whose eyes were stinging, became ferocious. It sensed that the target of hatred (Chen Rui)'s breath disappeared instantly. Even his scent was gone. It seemed like he had left this place. In its blind rage, it began to crazily swing its giant claws with its eyes closed.
Norris knew something was wrong the moment he was blinded. He quickly cast the defensive magic, "Magic Shield", just in case. As it turned out, this decision was very correct. As soon as Norris cast the magic shield, he felt a violent tremor. His entire body was actually blown away. Fortunately, he had the magic shield, so he wasn't damaged. However, his gray face was already pale.
Although he had the equipment that increased spirit power and the defense of the magic shield had been greatly strengthened, it could only block this terrifying blow. After he landed, the defensive magic shield instantly collapsed. The sound of landing caused the beast to rush over again. At that moment, Norris had desperately used his spirit power to restore some of his vision. He vaguely saw the beast rushing over and was instantly shocked. It was too late for him to cast the magic shield, so he could only cast his telekinesis again to restrain the beast's movement.
This kind of telekinesis was extremely taxing on the mind, especially when the opponent was too strong. It was very difficult. Norris's face was already covered in cold sweat, but his means were far more than that. Circles of fluctuations appeared in his pupils. The beast's closed eyes opened involuntarily. Its bloodshot pupils gradually became dull. It didn't seem to be affected by the blindness anymore. It turned its head and looked at Chen Rui.
Chen Rui frowned. The beast seemed to be hypnotized. In this case, using the old trick of "flash bang" was definitely useless.
Before he could change his mind, the beast suddenly accelerated and appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. It waved its claws. Chen Rui had no time to think, so he could only raise the Demon Shield to defend. As he could only use the strength of Demon King level at the moment, and the beast was abnormally terrifying, Chen Rui flew backward for seven or eight meters. The Demon Shield also fell to the ground. Although the mirror-like shield wasn't damaged, he seemed to be unable to lift it anymore.
The beast rushed over again. The crystal dragon Jacob frowned and was ready to rescue at any time. Chen Rui's eyes flashed, and the beast's power suddenly slowed down. At the same time, a huge earth wall appeared, blocking the beast's path.
Earth-style magic: Slow! Earth wall!
The crystal dragon nodded secretly. Although it took a long time to prepare, it was considered a good talent to be able to cast two different magic at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, a large area of cracks appeared on the earth wall. Then, the beast's giant claws penetrated through. With a twist, the earth wall collapsed. At this moment, Chen Rui had already escaped, but he didn't have time to pick up the Demon Shield that was on the ground.
The direction in which Chen Rui escaped was towards Norris. The beast that tore the earth wall apart rushed towards him. Chen Rui pretended to chant and suddenly waved his hand. The beast's speed suddenly slowed down. At the same time, Norris also felt that his body was several times heavier, and he couldn't move for a while: Gravity!
As Chen Rui waved his hand towards the beast and [Gravity] was an area of effect magic, it wasn't against the rules. Norris was a magic practitioner, so he only felt that it was very difficult in the gravitational field. He secretly scolded his opponent for being cunning. With a thought, he raised his wand with difficulty and aimed it at the beast. A black mist appeared and gradually spread.
"[Curtain of Darkness]!"
This was a large area of effect dark magic that could confuse the opponent's vision. The scene was suddenly shrouded by the black mist. The vision of the audience outside was once again disrupted, and they couldn't see the scene inside.
Norris smiled coldly and cast another magic. A large number of arms emerged from the ground and grabbed the beast, stopping it from moving forward. It looked gloomy and terrifying. Of course, not only the beast, but Chen Rui and himself were also caught and couldn't move.
Norris understood that [Curtain of Darkness] might not be able to block the vision of powerhouses like the crystal dragon and Sabrina, so he didn't dare to break the rules. He just played along with Chen Rui and used two area of effect magic. While blocking the beast, it also limited Chen Rui's movement and vision.
This kind of magic didn't directly affect the body, so the anti-magic attribute couldn't be used. Moreover, Chen Rui currently had the strength of a Demon King, so he couldn't break free from the pair of "ghost hands". This scene was a bit like a horror movie. He had goosebumps all of a sudden.
Outside the arena, the crystal dragon's eyes glowed with a crystal light that penetrated the [Curtain of Darkness]. He could see that the beast had broken free from the ground one by one and was getting closer. Now that both Chen Rui and Norris couldn't move, it was obviously the final moment to decide the winner.
In this kind of death match, no matter if it was mental skills or props, there was no room for negligence. One mistake would mean the difference between life and death. However, with the equipment on "Master Arthur", as long as there weren't too many accidents, even if he lost, he should be able to rescue in time.
The distance between Norris and Chen Rui was very close, less than two meters. As the caster, Norris wasn't affected by the [Curtain of Darkness]. He controlled the beast and walked over. His target was obviously Chen Rui who was beside him.
Chen Rui learned about the beast's movement from [Analytical Eyes]. He knew that this was the final moment, so he couldn't hide anymore. The ring on his hand suddenly emitted a faint blue light to cover the traces of black gas that appeared on his fingertips. The black gas mixed in the [Curtain of Darkness] and floated toward the beast. It actually went into its brain. The beast's body paused for a moment, then it slowly turned to Norris.
Norris was taken aback. He didn't expect the opponent to not be affected by the [Curtain of Darkness], and he could even rely on props to launch a counterattack. He felt that the spirit he used to control the beast seemed to have fallen into some kind of quagmire, so he quickly cast his secret technique. Together with his telekinesis talent, he strengthened the spirit output and started a tug-of-war with Chen Rui. They were in a stalemate for a while.
Although the beast was powerful, its spirit was weak. Its brain suddenly became chaotic as if there were two manipulators issuing opposite orders at the same time. It didn't know who to listen to.
Sabrina and Izola looked solemn at the same time. Whoever could win the final victory of the tug-of-war would be the winner of this death match!
