Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening explosions reverberated in the arena. Bilius persisted in brandishing his Octo Ruler, enveloping the entire arena in a dense shroud of darkness. The spectators could no longer discern the unfolding spectacle clearly, as the thick fog obscured their view.
On the other hand, Ebenez and Ghaylen, sitting on the higher platform beside the arena, could still witness the intense battle between Jared and Bilius.
Jared’s figure nimbly weaved and danced through the dark mist, effortlessly evading Bilius’ attacks. Surprisingly, he did not even need to wield his Dragonslayer Sword to defend himself at all.
In the blink of an eye, Bilius launched hundreds of strikes, yet not a single one managed to hit Jared. Bilius himself started to pant from exhaustion, his brows furrowing in frustration. He had not expected Jared to possess such remarkable agility in addition to his impressive physical prowess.
“If you surrender now, I might spare your life. Just crawl between my legs, and you’ll be free to go,” Jared sneered, shooting daggers at Bilius. “But once I lose interest in playing this game, walking out of this arena alive won’t be an option for you anymore.”
“Don’t you dare act arrogant before me!” Bilius roared angrily, swinging his Octo Ruler at Jared once more. However, Jared was still able to dodge all his attacks effortlessly.
“Mr. Chance truly has some skills. Bilius can’t even get close to him,” Zebediah exclaimed in amazement upon witnessing their exchange in the arena. Ghaylen hummed in response, nodding in acknowledgment. “It looks like we’ve underestimated him.”
Ebenez, sitting beside him, snorted in contempt. “He’s just banking on his agility. Claiming he could defeat Bilius within ten minutes, yet with all this dodging, he won’t even manage it in an hour. Ghaylen, when the ten minutes are up, it’ll be your duty to announce the results.”
Upon hearing Ebenez’s words, Zebediah and. Ghaylen fell silent. They could not help but agree with his assessment.
Indeed, Jared’s evasive skills were remarkable, but they worked against him, especially considering he had boasted about defeating. Bilius within ten minutes.
“Since you gave up the chance to get out of here alive, then don’t blame me for not holding back,” Jared declared.
Finally, he stopped dodging and began to swing his Dragonslayer Sword with full force. The two combatants clashed and intertwined on the stage, causing the entire arena to tremble.
Bilius frowned. Suddenly, a gem on his Octo Ruler lit up. Soon after, a black python emerged slowly from the ruler. The python opened its mouth, revealing its sharp fangs as it lunged toward Jared. Upon witnessing this scene, Ghaylen, Zebediah, and others were stunned for a moment.
Bilius’ Octo Ruler was truly a divine weapon, adorned with eight emerald gemstones that imprisoned incredibly ferocious demon beasts. within them.
Each gemstone, when activated, would summon a ferocious creature, and when all eight gemstones glowed simultaneously, no one knew what monstrous entity would emerge.
Until that incident at Bilius’ mansion, no one had dared to activate all eight gemstones simultaneously. However, when Jared wreaked havoc and provoked Bilius, the latter’s anger drove him to unleash the power of all eight gemstones at once.
Fortunately, Ebenez intervened and stopped the disaster by slapping Bilius in the face. Otherwise, the entire Emerald Cauldron Sect’s headquarters would have been reduced to ruins by the unleashed monsters.
Ebenez laughed haughtily. “With just this Octo Ruler, Jared won’t be able to finish this duel in ten minutes, let alone defeat Bilius within that time frame. It’s nothing but wishful thinking on his part!”
Ghaylen and the others became extremely tense, their gaze firmly fixed on the stage, eager to see how Jared would handle the situation.”
Meanwhile, a smirk crept across Jared’s lips as he observed the python emerging from the Octo Ruler.
