Chapter 269 - Hypocritical Solicitation, Regaining Vitality
"Let us congratulate Fire Asura for achieving 100 victories in a row! Not only did he obtain freedom in the Arena of Life and Death, but he has also successfully advanced to a level 30 creature. From today onwards, he is a legal citizen of the capital of Ultimate Evil. Like all the audience members present, he has become an equal brother and a citizen of the capital of Ultimate Evil!"
The host"s voice was loud and excited. His tone indicated that another legend had appeared in the Arena of Life and Death.
At that moment, there was a group of creatures who were rubbing their fists and palms eagerly in the audience seats. Kaeger, who had just been punished by Ultimate Evil Lord looked excited once again. He could not wait to rush off the stage to continue his discussion with the Fire Asura about the cooperation. They were previously interrupted by the Ultimate Evil Lord.
Marcus, who had also been punished by the evil lord, could see Kaeger"s excitement. He could not help but say, "Last time, your race had already suffered a great loss. The Fire Asura has no bottom line. Do you still want to recruit such a person?"
Kaeger"s eyes were filled with madness. He replied without any hesitation, "Recruit! Why shouldn"t I recruit him? Such a powerful and astonis.h.i.+ng talent, coupled with his heroic feat of creating a legend in the Arena of Life and Death. Even if he was a madman who had lost his mind, he would not completely fall into madness in a short period of time. Therefore, if we seize this short opportunity to cooperate with him, it would be enough to earn back the profits from him! Don"t you think so?"
Marcus smiled and sighed softly, "It seems that today, we are going to stand on the opposite side again! However, it"s rare for us to have a common view on how to use the Fire Asura!"
The two of them, who were both opponents, sympathized with each other. Suddenly, they thought of something and turned around to look at a certain spot behind them.
Adolphus stood up with a lack of interest. He was ready to leave.
"Adolphus, are you leaving already?"
"Now that the Fire Asura has regained his freedom and is destined to be loyal to the Ultimate Evil Lord, I think it"s better to resolve the grudge with him regarding the Undead Race as soon as possible. Otherwise, you"ll get in trouble sooner or later!"
Kaeger and Marcus chimed in, with the intention of mocking Adolphus. Not only could he not gain anything from the Fire Asura, but he had also received a huge threat.
Adolphus"s zombie-like face did not have the slightest bit of expression. He only said coldly, "The Evil Spirit Race is not afraid of any opponent! It is good that the Fire Asura has regained its freedom. Do not let me find an opportunity, or I will definitely settle the score with him!"
After saying that, Adolphus turned around and left.
As the largest material merchant in the capital of Ultimate Evil, and the only designated material collector in the Arena of Life and Death, Adolphus still had to go and see what valuable materials were left on the bodies of the partic.i.p.ants who died!
When Kaeger and Marcus saw his reaction, they could not help but be overjoyed. This was because losing a powerful compet.i.tor was definitely good news for them.
At that moment, they did not even think about entering the arena to chat with the Fire Asura. Instead, they turned around excitedly and walked upstairs to the banquet hall. This was because the Ultimate Evil Lord was going to hold a grand and free banquet for the Fire Asura. At the same time, it was his first step in showing support for the Fire Asura.
Almost at the same time, Vincent had completed his promotion and became a level 30 creature. He stabilized his realm. This was proof that the Human Race also had the potential to become an intermediate race. He was no longer a low-level creature that could be bullied by others in the Black Hole world!
"The Human Race will certainly prosper!"
Vincent sighed softly and glanced at Ebenezer from the corner of his eyes. He was trembling slightly. However, he controlled his impulse to go forward and check. He turned around and walked straight out of the arena. Under the guidance of a group of managers, he walked towards the banquet hall on the top floor.
As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, the Ultimate Evil Lord brought Irene along and welcomed him with a smile. It was as if he had never schemed against Vincent.
"Fire Asura! Congratulations on becoming my most loyal subordinate. In order to celebrate your victory, I have prepared the most generous reward for you!" said the Ultimate Evil Lord to Vincent with a face full of joy. At the same time, he gestured for Irene to push the box containing the gifts over.
The Ultimate Evil Lord looked at the prizes that he had selected especially for him and introduced them to him, "There are three world rings here. Jackson lost to me back then! Originally, I gave two to Irene. Now, the remaining three are all for you! Of course, without my permission, you should not try to open the world inside on your own. After all, this is the rule of the capital. Only when you have made outstanding contributions to me can I allow you to leave the capital of Ultimate Evil and go out to explore. This is my expectation for you. Do you understand?"
Vincent squeezed out a smile. He naturally understood the intention of the evil lord. At the moment, he had killed his only disciple. It was like he had become a killing machine. His both hands were dripping with blood. Naturally, he still could not gain 100% of the Ultimate Evil Lord"s trust. Hence, the Ultimate Evil Lord gave him a warning in addition to the reward.
The Ultimate Evil Lord picked up a pitch-black long blade and said, "I noticed that you are more accustomed to using a blade, so I took out the most outstanding blade from my collection! This is for you! This blade was forged using the core of a world. Brandis.h.i.+ng the blade is equivalent to brandis.h.i.+ng a world! Of course, as a level 30 creature, you are still not able to unleash its full strength, but it is a treasured blade that can accompany you to become stronger! Make good use of it. There are still many journeys that you will need to go on and tasks to complete!"
The Ultimate Evil Lord then introduced the other rewards to Vincent. They were all materials and medicines that could help with cultivation.
"Thank you!"
Vincent thanked the evil lord and bowed his head in public. His actions were equivalent to him giving up on his bottom line completely.
Irene looked at the scene. She could not help but feel a little disappointed. She wanted to cry.
However, she was not sure if Vincent had really lost it all. Did he lose his fighting spirit as well? She could only suppress her emotions and not show any flaws.
The banquet carried on as per usual. The Ultimate Evil Lord pulled Vincent along as if he was showing off his spoils of war. He introduced his future subordinate to every member present.
At the same time, the corpses of all the partic.i.p.ants who had died earlier were carried into the mortuary of the Arena of Life and Death.
Adolphus was led by a pair of managers. His gaze swept over every dead body. He turned to the manager and said, "As per the old rules, cut off all the useful materials for me! Also, I want the corpse of the Shadow Demon who lost to the Fire Asura today!"
The manager was a little startled when he heard that. He said with some embarra.s.sment, "According to the rules of the Arena of Life and Death, you can only take away the useful materials. You can"t take away the entire corpse!"
When Adolphus heard his reply, he said seriously and calmly, "I have a big customer, a level 80 creature. He is going to use the body of the Shadow Demon to forge a divine weapon. He requires the whole Shadow Demon corpse. Isn"t that considered a material?"
"This... Alright! Please wait a moment!"
When the manager heard this, he could only lower his head and agree. He then handed all the materials along with Ebenezer"s corpse to Adolphus.
After walking through the long corridor and exiting the arena, Adolphus let out a long sigh. He bent down to examine Ebenezer"s wound and pulled out a scroll that had lost its effectiveness from the bleeding wound.
At the same time, Ebenezer actually let out a light snort as if he had recovered some vitality!
Adolphus turned his head to look at the highest level of the arena. He suddenly sighed, "What a lunatic!"
