Chapter 484 - Of Course Not!
Immediately, Virus" silhouette was gone at once as he approached Lim at a lightning-fast pace, took his sword out of his spatial container, and slashed at his body a dozen times!
When he was done and stopped, much to the stupefaction of the spectators, Lim"s body transformed into a pile of meat that fell on the sand. Virus" sword was also stored in his container already.
Up to this point, amongst the mortal crowd, no one had been even able to catch a sight of Virus" weapon.

Meanwhile, in the VIP area, a frown of displeasure had, at last, crept over the extravagant man"s forehead who commanded the previously all smiles and suns.h.i.+ne guy who was once more the indignant man. "He"ll come back again, go and kill him yourself."
"I couldn"t ask for more, senior brother. Just watch me skewer him for our barbecue night tonight!" With rage contorting his face, the indignant man exclaimed.
"Ew, that"s disgusting, do you want me to eat human meat? Wait, don"t tell me you"ve been doing that all this time? Is that where you got all that meat from?!" The extravagant man"s eyelids were about to snap as he questioned the indignant man in disbelief.
"Ah… o-of course not, senior brother. I was just saying a sentence to make this sound more horrible." Beads of sweat were long rolling down the indignant man"s forehead who thought in retrospection, "Phew… I nearly revealed it myself, this mouth of mine…"
"Is that so?" Glaring into his pupils in some doubt, the extravagant man asked rhetorically.
"Absolutely!"
…
Returning to the waiting area again, funnily, Virus was against the bulging eyes of oldies and teenagers.
"Stop that already!" Yelling in frustration, Virus was getting sick of this repet.i.tive reaction now.
"Oh, my great boss! Thank you for saving my life! I, Archie, shall be your most loyal servant until my last breath!" Kowtowing in wors.h.i.+p, Archibald, smashed his forehead on the ground and swore allegiance to Virus.
"Oi, oi, oi, old man, don"t be like that, why are you swearing to follow me out of nowhere without permission! I don"t need an old man following me around so stop. It"s not like I did it for you, I just need the money, so…"
"Ah, is that so? Then, if you don"t need an old guy like me, just kill me here and take the life you granted yourself."
"Have you gone senile, old man?"
"I"ve never been more enlightened in my life, sir! Boss!"
"Sigh…" Letting out a helpless sigh of annoyance, Virus decided to just ignore the guy.
Instead, looking elsewhere, he wanted to jump on his next course of action, when he was faced with three more adoring stares that already had stars s.h.i.+ning in them.
"Boss! Please save us too! We swear allegiance as well!" All three, one old and two teenagers, smashed their foreheads on the tiled floor so hard that a wound cracked open there.
By now, the three others who were despairing earlier were looking at Virus with eyes filled with vigor and hope!
They had miraculously discovered an opportunity at life!
Although Virus was initially just about to ask whether he could take their place and partic.i.p.ate in their stead for some quick buck, now, seeing their wors.h.i.+pping gazes as if they were looking at some G.o.d, Virus felt hesitant.
In the end, though, shaking his head powerlessly, he agreed, "It"s not because of you guys I"m doing this, it"s because I require the money."
"Yes, boss!" All four screamed from the bottom of their hearts, so happy they didn"t care about the bleeding wound on their foreheads.
"Sigh..." Rubbing the back of his neck in exasperation, Virus shook his head and left the room without further ado.
Returning to the colosseum, Virus noticed that the man that had been sitting the closest to the extravagant person was standing in front of him this time. "So, the second-strongest person around is here."
At the same time, excited cheers and exhilaration were heating up the arena as the spectators looked forward to the upcoming show of slaughter.
"I-It"s Wae for real! Wae is here to personally take care of the chosen one!!! d.a.m.n! I didn"t think we"d get to see him show up for real!!!"
"Yes! Dammit, now I"m looking forward to how he deals with the chosen one, it"s gonna be a great show."
"Yeah, I would"ve been uncertain whether the chosen one would win the next match as well if it wasn"t Wae, but now that Wae is here, the chosen one is dead for sure!"
Observing Wae together with a yawn, Virus determined his opponent was someone that had just broken through to the Sublimity Emergence stage.
"Well, I admit this one"s better." That notion had just transmitted through his mind when Wae faded away like someone that had just vaporized!
"Die! You disgusting citizen!"
Boom!
The following second, he was already beside Virus as he tried kicking Virus" body to the side.
Merely raising a single-arm, however, Virus easily blocked the kick without budging from his place in the least. Simultaneously, a contemplative notion was pa.s.sing his mind, "Hmm, it doesn"t hurt, not even a bit. This dude is nothing compared to the enemies I faced in the Invisible Ancient Fortress World. It"s as if they"re on totally different realms of power."
"What?" Briefly shocked silly by the act of Virus effortlessly defending against his foot strike, Wae was just about to slash at him using his saber when Virus beat him to it by internally activating three forms one after another.
"Unnamed Virus Technique, First Form – Impulse!"
"Unnamed Virus Technique, Second Form – Friction!"
"Fountain Bow Cut!"
Swis.h.!.+
Abruptly, Wae froze still, no longer moving in the least.
Watching this scene, everyone was confused as to why Wae had suddenly stopped moving altogether instead of a.s.saulting the chosen one even more savagely.
However, that was only until Wae"s head rolled off his neck as it fell on the ground. At the same time, a fountain of blood shot up from his headless frame that had yet to fall on the sand.
