Chapter 75: Bet a thousand
Chapter 75: Bet a thousand
The Bone Canzer Horse had no way left to escape. It was soon engulfed in angry dragons, burning its wild and arrogant temper.
What's left of the Canzer was nothing but charred bones. It lay on the ground with its legs bent, too tired to even pose in a defensive position. It suffered too much from Yasmine's attack and it needed a lot of time to regenerate from its injuries.
But Yasmine didn't have any time for that. She quickly took out the blinders from her tool belt and attached them to the bone horse's head.
And with it, the Canzer was forced to stop recuperating and stand up to obey her commands.
Yasmine didn't care if the Canzer still hadn't recovered. She was going to push it till it died from its wounds if it meant winning this competition.
She pulled on the reins and quickly left the arena.
"Tsk." She was disappointed to find the golden chariot already taken away. This meant that someone was already on the track with a large lead behind them.
But since she was second, she got the silver chariot which was the second best out of everything in the lineup.
Before she left the arena, she looked back towards the arena, her eyes quickly glancing around to find someone in the crowd of Canzers and Saviors. She didn't want to admit it, but she was looking for him.
I'm only looking…but she quickly slapped herself. What are you doing? Get on the track, now!
She quickly whipped the Canzer and it raced out of the Colosseum at top speeds. She reminded herself to always look forward, not back. She had a goal to accomplish, and no one could get in her way.
Meanwhile, at the arena, the rest of the spectators all went silent in awe and disbelief.
Everyone's eyes went towards one man in the middle of the arena. Razer Wrekton, arguably the strongest and most talented one out of everyone in this room, was standing still with one monstrous Horse Canzer in front of him.
He wasn't doing anything. He was just standing still.
But that wasn't the strangest part about this. The Canzer in front of him, instead of charging and attacking the human in front of it, was actually kneeling towards Razer!
It had its front legs bent on the ground, and its head was bowing towards him in deference.
This was unbelievable. Every Canzer in the arena had a wild and arrogant attitude against the humans. They attacked humans they considered inferior to them, or they fled away from those they considered superior.
However, this particular Canzer was kneeling in front of Razer! Find adventures at m v lem|p-yr
It was offering its head for him to take–for him to take control. Nobody ever thought that this was possible. This could only be explained through Razer's domineering mutation that could even make other humans want to submit to him.
"I can't believe this…"
"He subdued a Canzer without even using his LifeSkill…"
"There's just no hope. He's going to win this competition…Wait! Look at that!"
Just when they thought that Razer was going to subdue the kneeling Canzer in front of him, they all suddenly saw a new Canzer, a horse with a gorilla's upper body, come rushing toward him.
"He's not looking at the Canzer!"
"Is he going to get hit?!"
But their guesses turned out completely wrong. The Gorilla-Horse Canzer rushed past Razer and charged toward the kneeling Canzer instead!
Banging its chest like a drum, the gorilla-horse then grabbed the kneeling Canzer and threw it towards the crowd!
The unfortunate spectators were horrified to see a monstrous Canzer coming right towards them. Even though they were Saviors in their own right, they were caught off guard and could only disperse away before they were buried under this monster.
Thankfully, the Pocket Remedium's safety mechanism froze the Pseudo Canzer in the air right before it went over the arena.
"Whew! That was close!"
"I thought I'd lose twenty years of SoulTime from that."
"Wait, what happened with Razer?!"
Once the chaos from the accident subsided, everyone looked over to Razer. Surprisingly, the Gorilla-Horse Canzer was now kneeling in front of Razer!
It turned out that this Canzer wasn't trying to attack Razer. Instead, it only wanted to be the one to have the honor to be Razer's steed!
It was unbelievable. Canzers were lining up and competing against each other to offer themselves to be subservient to Razer! Who else had the transcendent talent to do that?
Without any more delay, Razer attached the blinders on the winning Canzer and chose it as its mount. With calm and unhurried steps, he went over to the exit and picked the bronze chariot for his vehicle. It didn't take him long to fix the reins.
"Chase them," he commanded.
His Canzer answered by drumming its fists on its chest and roaring towards the track. With the strength of its legs, it started accelerating at speeds unlike anyone had ever seen. It was much faster than Yasmine or Sola's mounts.
"There he goes! I reckon he'll easily take the lead from Sola."
"No doubt about it. I'll even bet you 20 Venunum for it."
"Stop cheering for the enemies. What about our Genesians? I'll take that bet and put 50 Venunum for Yasmine to take home the win."
Finally, after adjusting their strengths and strategies, more and more competitors subdued their Canzers. The Olympians had it easier, but the Genesians didn't let them have the lead for long.
Slowly, more and more competitors raced through the streets with their chariots.
The spectators could only watch the race through the large screen floating at the top of the arena. They all saw LifeSkills thrown around everywhere as they all tried to sabotage each other.
Meanwhile, there were only 2 people left in the arena: Obek and Atlan. They were the only two people in the 2nd stage Student realm, so everyone already expected them to be at the bottom of the pack.
"Hmm…who do you think will be in last place?"
"Listen, as much as I respect our Star Porter, he simply just doesn't have the power to contest with the other competitors."
"Are you willing to bet on that?"
"Yeah. I'll give you 1000 Venunum if the Star Porter finishes even in the 2nd to last place."
