Chapter 254 Even More Dangerous!
Chapter 254 Even More Dangerous!
Chad shook his head, trying to dismiss that strange feeling. He knew the battle was about to begin soon.
Once he entered the octagonal cage, he could fully enjoy his opponent's suffering, listening to the delightful cries of anguish and savoring the scent of blood that filled the air.
All of this was what he had been anticipating; he craved violence, thirsted for blood, and relished the fear and despair of others!
As soon as Chad thought of this, he immediately stood up and eagerly walked toward the passage.
The ace-level Beast Master who had greeted him scratched his head in confusion and said to the person next to him:
"What's going on? Chad seems a bit off today; I've never seen that expression on his face before."
Someone replied, "Yeah, it's a bit strange. Maybe he's worried about facing Charles?"
"That makes sense. Charles is indeed quite powerful; I wouldn't feel confident facing him either."
In Chad's ears, the conversations around him grew fainter, replaced by a series of whispers that seemed to come from nowhere.
He turned his head in confusion, looking around, only to see one enthusiastic spectator after another shouting out something.
Chad couldn't hear what they were saying; he stood there, utterly perplexed, feeling dazed.
A few seconds later,
he finally discerned what the spectators were yelling.
"Blood!" "Fear!" "Despair!" "Pain!"...
One word after another appeared in his mind, and Chad couldn't help but break into a manic grin, wildly waving his arms like tentacles.
Charles frowned as he looked at the ace-level Beast Master standing in the octagonal cage.
He had a strange feeling, as if there was something familiar about this ace-level Beast Master.
He couldn't quite put his finger on what that familiarity was, but it felt like he had seen him somewhere before, yet he couldn't remember where.
As the bald man finished his introduction.
Charles finally learned that this Beast Master was named Chad, with a decent record and many victories, though not many kills.
Looking into Chad's eyes, Charles felt a sense of doubt; he could sense that this person was filled with a desire for slaughter and brutality.
Logically, that should lead to a higher number of kills.
Listening to the signal for "Fight!"
Charles pushed his thoughts aside and didn't launch an attack immediately; instead, he chose to stay in place and observe closely.
For some reason, facing this ace-level Beast Master named Chad made him feel a sense of danger.
In the audience, someone suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction:
"What's going on? Why is he so timid today? Go for it!"
"Yeah! Get in there! I want to see you take care of this like you did yesterday, clean and swift!"
"Damn, is he really going to back down? Charles, are you going to fight or not?"
Listening to the shouts around him, Zane, who was sitting near the octagonal cage, looked up at Charles and then turned to glance at the ace-level Beast Master.
He relaxed his body comfortably, leaning back in his chair, a pleased smile spreading across his face.
"Charles, oh Charles, from the very beginning, you walked right into my trap. Today is your day to die!" Zane's mind began to fantasize about Charles's impending fate.
In front of so many spectators, in a live stream watched by hundreds of thousands, Charles was destined to meet a gruesome end in the octagonal cage!
At that moment.
Chad could no longer suppress his inner craving. He pushed off the ground with his feet, and instantly, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the floor, sending dust flying.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of Charles, his muscles bulging, becoming even more formidable in an instant. With a powerful thrust of his arm, he swung his fist down toward Charles's head without hesitation.
Charles's pupils constricted slightly; he was taken aback by Chad's speed, which exceeded his expectations.
However, this didn't present a life-or-death crisis for Charles. Using his right foot as the pivot, he slightly turned his body and narrowly dodged Chad's punch.
Seizing the moment when Chad's attack missed, Charles quickly lifted his leg and raised his knee to strike at Chad's weak point.
To his surprise, it seemed Chad had anticipated this, as he immediately reacted and effectively defended against Charles's attack.
At the moment of their contact, Charles's muscles tensed, and he experienced a brief moment of disorientation.
Chad's eyes lit up as he quickly seized this opportunity, delivering a blow that sent Charles flying!
"What? How is this Chad so strong? He just launched Charles across the ring right at the start?"
"Damn, I should have bet on him to win; this is it!"
"Shit! Charles was doing so well yesterday; why is he struggling today?"
The underground space erupted with countless curses as the audience marveled at Chad's fighting ability, shocked that this ace-level Beast Master had gained the upper hand right from the beginning.
Celestine clenched her hands tightly in front of her chest. The moment Charles was sent flying, she stood up from her seat, deeply concerned about his situation.
At that moment, Zane's voice came from beside her.
"It's over, it's over; Charles is done for. Just watch how he meets his end!"
Celestine didn't even glance at Zane; her gaze remained fixed on Charles. She only sighed in relief when she saw Charles stand up from the ground.
Meanwhile, in another part of the underground space,
Jamie frowned, feeling perplexed. From what he knew about Charles, that brief moment of disorientation should not have happened.
Charles had extensive combat experience, with formidable fighting skills and techniques. Most importantly, he was always able to maintain his composure in battle.
He shouldn't have made such a mistake.
What could have caused this momentary lapse?
Charles, under Jamie's scrutiny, wore a serious and heavy expression. He took a deep breath.
The moment he made contact with Chad, an image appeared before him.
In a chaotic scene, children were crying and wailing, blood flowing from their bodies, tightly wrapped by countless strange tentacles. They were continuously moaning and crying out.
That image reminded Charles of the events that took place in the underground of the abandoned factory.
Though he didn't know what had happened to Chad, Charles was very clear that everything was certainly related to those unspeakable, unknown horrors, tied to the Constellation organization.
The reason he could see that image was likely because he wasn't wearing the Mysterious Fragment.
Since carrying any equipment was not allowed in the octagonal cage match, Charles had stored the Mysterious Fragment in his storage space.
"Oh, you can still stand? Looks like you can take a hit. I'm starting to look forward to your screams later." Chad said excitedly.
His eyes were particularly strange; his left pupil was twitching uncontrollably, while his right pupil seemed to be rolling upward, as if it might pop out of its socket.
Charles observed Chad's bizarre state and took a deep breath; this wasn't the right time to ask questions.
Moreover, it seemed Chad had lost his sanity and become frenzied.
It seemed the only way to get any information was to defeat Chad first. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
With that thought, Charles cracked his neck; the leads about the Constellation organization were right in front of him, and he needed to seize this opportunity!
In the next moment, Charles took the initiative to attack.
His figure moved like a ghost, appearing in front of Chad, delivering a powerful kick aimed at Chad's waist.
This kick even had a sense of cutting through the air, sending invisible ripples around him.
Though Chad was a bit deranged, he hadn't lost his ability to sense the danger around him.
In his eyes, this strike was incredibly dangerous; if he allowed Charles's attack to land, he would definitely suffer significant damage.
Just as he thought about dodging, his body moved on its own.
Under Charles's gaze, Chad's figure twisted like rubber, evading the strike with an almost illogical motion.
Moreover, he seized the opportunity, twisting his waist and launching an attack without hesitation!
Countless spectators witnessed this scene and instinctively shouted:
"What kind of combat technique is this! I can't believe Chad is this strong!"
"This is shocking; Charles's speed was incredibly fast just now, and ordinary Beast Masters wouldn't have had any chance to resist. I didn't expect Chad to dodge so easily!"
"Look at the way Chad's waist twists; this is too bizarre! What kind of combat technique allows for such an angle?"
Unlike the thoughts of the audience, Jamie, an eighth-level Beast Master, sensed something unusual.
He stared intently at the attacking Chad, frowning deeply.
"Bizarre? Could it be...?" Jamie seemed to have realized something.
He quickly shifted his gaze to Charles, noting that Charles had a blank expression, showing no fear or hesitation.
"It seems Charles is still confident; I won't need to intervene." Jamie thought to himself, wanting to avoid stepping in if possible.
At that moment, Charles remained composed.
Although he wasn't sure how Chad had managed to dodge his attack, it didn't hinder the continuation of the battle in the slightest.
The two continued to fight, the deafening sounds of their clashes echoing outside the octagonal cage, causing the audience to quiet down considerably.
Everyone was glued to the exciting fight, oblivious to the fact that Chad's eyes were becoming increasingly bizarre.
Charles had incredibly keen observation skills, and when his gaze swept over Chad's eyes,
he noticed that Chad's original pupils were uncontrollably rolling upward, turning the entire eye a grayish-white!
"Those are the eyes from those tentacles!" Charles immediately deduced.
He didn't know what was happening, but Chad now felt even more dangerous to him!
"Hahahahahahaha! Blood! Pain! Fear and despair!" Chad fixed his gaze on Charles.
