Chapter 192: Chamber of Fire
"Hehe, congratulations to the championship organizers who knew very well who the hero was and who the villain was in this story," Leroy said confidently as he left the golden castle and saw the big black castle with flames around it.
It only further increased the confidence he had. Leroy always saw himself as a just and powerful warrior. At only 28 years old he was already on the threshold of Rank D, almost reaching Rank C. That kind of strength in a city like Eyrin put him at the peak. Gradually he came to believe that he was the protagonist while all the people around him were just supporting actors.
And having everyone around him always giving preference to him, fawning over everything he did, treating him as someone superior, fixed even more this belief that he had.
"Come on, hehe. Like a coward, he is! I doubt he has the courage to try to attack us alone. He knows that we are not the mediocre teams he faced previously that he would be able to attack in the middle of the five of us. He will probably try to set an ambush in the castle, and I want to thwart him in the very game he"s playing." Leroy said confidently.
"But captain... he alone killed a team that had a hacker..." a player on his team tried to warn Leroy, who apparently seemed to be more unconcerned than they would have liked.
"So what? You know what my skill does; he will never be able to do the same thing to us!" Leroy laughed with great confidence.
Hearing this, the members of his team gave a sigh without knowing what to say and just followed Leroy, already being used to this confident att.i.tude that their captain had. If the hacker they faced wasn"t practically a counter to Leroy"s skill, they even believed they would have won, just like Lucifer did.
Thus, Leroy"s team advanced to the castle together, Leroy"s confidence gradually spreading to the other players.

{Wow, apparently Leroy is not worrying about Lucifer"s ambush. Do you believe he is right?} the host said with a surprised expression.
Tixinha looked at Toboco and replied, a little worried, "I don"t know. If he was against a normal player that I knew the skills of completely, I would say that he is right. The ability that Leroy has is very powerful against a.s.sa.s.sins, and as Lucifer is an a.s.sa.s.sin, I would doubt that he could do anything in order to deal with it... "
"Yes Tixinha, I agree with you, especially with the part that you talked about him being against a normal player. But if there is a word that I would not dare to use to describe Lucifer, it is "normal". After everything he has done during this championship, I believe Lucifer himself knows that Leroy will try to do something like that, but that maybe he"s still hiding something," Toboco said in a serious tone.
{But do you really believe that Lucifer still has some more hidden skills? After all, he has already shown teleportation and those claws of fire. From the looks of him, even with the mask he wore on stage, I wouldn"t say he was over 22. Developing a skill is difficult; many Blessed are unable to develop a single skill even after more than 20 years of invasions. Lucifer having two skills as powerful as those probably required a lot of effort, time, and dedication from him. Did he have time to develop another skill?} the host asked with genuine doubt.
"That"s hard to say. The first skill I developed was when I was 23, but Lucifer already has two very well developed skills at the age of 22. As I said earlier, I would say it would be difficult for him to have two skills at that age and impossible having three, but coming from Lucifer, I don"t doubt anything anymore," Tixinha said.
"If there is one thing I agree with everyone, it is that in this championship we discovered that Lucifer is a genius. The mastery with which he uses his teleportation is formidable, even more using it simultaneously with the claws that he has. The amount of spatial perception necessary for that is incalculable. But using parameters of a normal person to measure a genius is not fair; coming from a genius like him, I believe it is possible that he still has a hidden skill, only that skill is probably not as well developed as the other two ones, and maybe he doesn"t even have the confidence to use it," Toboco completed.
{Yes, few Blessed Ones ever have three skills developed throughout their lives. If Lucifer currently has a third skill, I doubt it is as powerful a skill as the two he already has, but since no one knows what it is, he can use it easily as a surprise attack in this battle.}
Hearing this, the audience was even more excited. The number of live viewers had already reached 10 million. Even people from other cities decided to stop watching the championships of their cities themselves to watch the final of the Eyrin city championship that was being so talked about on the internet.
"d.a.m.n it, I want them to meet soon! Lucifer, show me what you have!!" a fan shouted excitedly.
"This is not fair. He is already so powerful at such a young age, yet I am 32 years old and I haven"t even managed to develop a single skill..." a man said in frustration.
"Wow, did you see what he looked like when he came on stage? I haven"t seen it yet ..." a young woman said while watching with her friend.
"Didn"t you see? d.a.m.n, he"s beautiful! He was wearing a mask to cover his mouth and nose, but the rest of his face was perfect... I think the mask made him even more beautiful and mysterious, after seeing him like that, I even moved my support from Leroy to Lucifer," the friend replied.
"Really? Is he more handsome than Leroy? Leroy was always quite handsome. That blond beard of his always made me dream of him being the father of my children while we had a family together one day..." the first young woman said to her friend.
"They say that in the final of the championship Lucifer will go on stage without a mask if he wins. I"m rooting for the From h.e.l.l team with all my strength so that it happens, just so that I can see his face hehe."
"Really? Why didn"t you tell me before?! I already know Leroy"s face; he could miss this year. Now I"m curious to see Lucifer"s face too! Go Team From h.e.l.l!!" the first young woman screamed excitedly.
This type of scene was happening both in the stands and among people who watched through the internet. There were curious people, excited people, admiring people, jealous people, angry people. The feelings were varied, but this only guaranteed even more that these people watched the game with great excitement.

"What plan are we going to follow?" James asked as he looked at Noah.
The other players also stared at Noah, waiting for his response as he was the one who would decide after seeing the environment that the battle would be fought.
"With an environment like this, using the fire chamber tactic will be ideal. Probably this will only work during the first round. After they die and come the second time, it will hardly work, but to kill their entire team off once, this will be perfect," Noah responded with confidence.
"Are you sure? Won"t that wear you out a lot?" Mateo asked worriedly. Even though Noah explained to them exactly how it was going to work, he was still quite concerned.
"Don"t worry, I would just need a little time. As they are going to invade the castle believing they are the "enlightened heroes", the chance of this working is very high," Noah said.
"Okay, if that"s what you believe, we will trust you," Mateo responded with resolution.
With that, Noah ran looking for the ideal spot, while his team followed to prepare too.
*Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf, Bamf*
Within seconds, the number of times Noah had teleported was abysmal, leaving both viewers and his teammates frightened. The speed of the teleports was very high, much higher than they had seen him doing before.
{What is he doing...?} The host asked, confused.
