As the battle began, everyone started discussing, especially those who were closer to the dueling ring.
“Did you hear that?”
“This guy is too arrogant. He actually dared to say such words to the Ripper?”
“Isn’t he afraid of death?”
“You can’t kill people on the dueling ring.”
“Maybe that’s why he said such words on purpose to increase his reputation!”
“This fool, he can’t possibly think that the Ripper will just let him off, right?”
Hearing the conversation on the dueling platform, everyone felt that Joelson was definitely going to die.
At this moment, the duel on the dueling platform began.
The arena lord, who had fallen into a weakened state, could no longer endure the attacks of a mid-stage demigod. He was slowly showing signs of being defeated.
However, no one was paying attention to him.
The conversation between Ripper and Joelson had already spread through the crowd.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on the dueling platform.
They weren’t interested in the outcome of this duel. In their hearts, this duel would definitely be Ripper’s victory. However, they wanted to see just how Ripper would torture his opponent.
Of course, other than Toby and Edessa.
At this moment, although the two knew that with Joelson’s strength, defeating the Shredder would not be a big problem.
However, the two were still worried. They were worried that Joelson would waste too much time and energy, causing him to be targeted like the weak ringmaster. If that was the case, Joelson might be targeted by even more people.
The duel on the dueling platform had already begun.
The arena lords and challengers on the nine dueling platforms had already begun to fight.
That weak arena lord had already been defeated by a mid-stage demigod challenger.
The arena lord revealed an extremely unwilling look, and his gaze towards the mid-stage demigod challenger was filled with struggle.
If he had lost to someone who was stronger than him, perhaps he wouldn’t have found it so hard to accept.
But losing to someone at the middle stage of the demigod level... he truly couldn’t accept it.
In the end, the weakened arena lord let out a long sigh and walked off the arena.
If he continued to fight, he would be heavily injured. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only admit defeat.
On the other side, on the Ripper’s dueling platform.
The other nine dueling platforms had already begun fighting, but this place was different.
The Ripper didn’t defeat Joelson right away. He was thinking.
How could he make this torture last longer?
Joelson didn’t make a move either. Instead, he closed his eyes as if he was trying to comprehend something.
His thoughts weren’t the same as the Ripper’s. He wasn’t interested in torturing the Ripper.
At this moment, he was immersed in the spirit tree, carefully feeling the fusion of metal and electric arcane power.
The Ripper’s strength was not bad. It was perfect for him to use it to test how powerful metal and lightning spells would be if they were cast with the arcane mysteries and elements combined.
If it was a weaker opponent, they might be directly annihilated by this power. However, the rules of this competition did not allow him to kill his opponent.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the two of them. They felt strange.
The Ripper did not move at all. The challenger did the same, as if he had already given up on resisting.
Suddenly, the Ripper moved.
The Ripper took a step forward and slowly walked towards Joelson. He revealed a wanton smile and the scar on his face started to twist.
He had already thought of how to torture this challenger.
The onlookers became excited, as if they were looking forward to the bloody scene that was about to come.
Ripper held the longsword tightly in his hand, and a blood-red light appeared on the longsword.
He suddenly attacked, and the longsword suddenly slashed towards Joelson’s shoulder.
The longsword was getting closer and closer, and Ripper’s smile became more and more ferocious.
He wanted to cut off one of the challenger’s arms first!
Just as the longsword was about to cut off Joelson’s shoulder, Joelson suddenly opened his eyes.
A dark golden light flashed in his left eye, and a bolt of purple lightning flashed in his right eye.
Joelson raised his right hand and extended his index finger. A stream of metal lava, which was surrounded by a dazzling white-golden light, shot toward the Ripper like a ray of light.
The moment Ripper saw Joelson open his eyes, a sense of crisis flashed through his heart. He immediately stopped the long sword that was slashing toward Joelson.
He then placed the long sword horizontally in front of him and took a defensive stance.
Everyone was also puzzled by the sudden change in the battle stage.
But soon, everyone fell into a state of shock.
Clang!
Patter!
Two sounds were heard one after another.
Everyone looked over, their eyes filled with disbelief.
They saw that the long sword in front of the Ripper had been broken and fell to the ground.
The right arm of the Ripper holding the long sword had also been broken from his shoulder and fell to the ground. He was still holding the half-broken long sword tightly.
The Ripper was also stunned. He stood still and didn’t understand what had happened.
When he reacted, his eyes opened wide. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He wanted to reassemble his broken arm, but he found that the wound on his shoulder was paralyzed by a lightning arcane power. He couldn’t control it.
Ripper was reluctant. He wanted to try again. All of a sudden, he saw a dazzling white-gold light in Joelson’s hand. Even the sun in the sky looked dim in front of this light.
A strange arcane power he had never seen before diffused.
The void where the white-gold light touched instantly turned pitch-black.
Again?
If that attack came again, wouldn’t he be seriously wounded?
Thinking of this, Ripper was frightened and hurriedly said.
“I admit defeat!”
Hearing Ripper admit defeat, Joelson shook his head. He waved his hand casually and dispersed the white-gold light.
This was the new arcane power he had created after he had fused the metal lava and lightning storm.
It was just like the platinum power he had obtained after he had fused the laws in the central continent. However, this power wasn’t a law, but an arcane power.
It was sharper and more violent.
Even his right hand felt numb.
Perhaps it was because it was his first time trying to fuse, so he was not very familiar with it.
Joelson felt a little pity. Just as he was about to try again, the Ripper admitted defeat.
It was not easy to find such a tough test subject. If it had been someone else, even if the attack had been aimed at the shoulder, they might have died immediately.
It seemed that he could not continue to use this move in the following matches.
He did not want to break the rule that he could not kill, which would result in his disqualification.
If that was the case, it would really cause him some trouble.
Just as Joelson was feeling sorry for himself, the onlookers were already in shock.
