SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Chapter 188: Shadow Strike



The arbiter stared at Kent for a long time with an unbelievable gaze. He thought Kent used all of his aura to create the fire phenix in the last fight. But Kent didn\'t appear exhausted or run out of aura reserves.

"This guy is definitely something…" The arbiter shook his head and picked up his wand to announce the fight between Kent and Angus.

"Fighter Kent accepted the Heavenly Justice. The fight will take place after preparation time." The arbiter\'s voice resounded loudly throughout the Arena. With the change of clock on Aurora Glass, the crowd erupted in loud roars as everyone made cries.

Unknowingly, some people began chanting Kent\'s name, impressed by his willingness to accept a challenge against a fighter who is four levels higher than him. The Arena also filled up to the brim, and the coin jar beside Fatty continued to make sound as he dropped things nonstop.

"How did this fellow grow up so fast?!" Black belle Miss Ria, who is staring at Kent from the audience, muttered with a grim look. She gritted her teeth in frustration as she cursed herself for being a frog at the bottom of the well.

"I should stop wasting my time by following Larry. If I\'m strong enough, the Moonbrook family will fall on my feet to marry their son." Ria thought as her gaze darted towards Larry, who is shaking with tension. He is worried about losing his gambler rank if Zi Chen loses the fight against Kent.

Meanwhile, people began checking the backgrounds of Fatty and Kent through forums. The betting amount showed 313 spirit stones, which is a large sum, and returning three times is not a small matter.

But after seeing the rank-one status of Fatty, many wondered who helped Fatty set up a match in the central Arena. But no one stopped betting, as Gambler\'s Syndicate ensures everyone gets a return even by selling the dead body of the gambler.

Kent, standing opposite the fighter, Angus, began making his plans for the next fight. As the opponent is a water element practitioner, he thought of attacks of ice blocks, ice prisons, water blasts, and frost bind spells. After much thought, Kent decided to use his pet Fire Kirin in this fight to dodge sudden water blast spells, and the fire balls of Fire Kirin can counter several spells.

But fighter Angus is thinking the complete opposite of Kent. He thought of staying on the ground, as he felt it would surprise Kent and give him a chance to make initial attacks. Also, he is at the at the peak of the master magus stage; he doesn\'t want to lose his reputation by losing against Kent within a few spells.

"10… 9… 8…"

The crowd began counting the last numbers, and Fatty closed down the store with a total of 413 spirit stones, which is equal to the earnings of high-ranking gamblers during big fights. No one is expecting Kent to beat fighter Angus, which is pretty impossible in everyone\'s eyes.

Meanwhile, Kent began laughing as he stared at his opponent, who is preparing to attack from the ground instead of using his pet.

"This guy made it so easy…" Kent muttered as he stared at his gauntlets. With a confident smile, he lifted his bow and aimed at a different place than his opponent.

"You may begin." The arbiter shouted while leaving towards the edge.

Angus did not understand why Kent was laughing. Also, he felt surprised that Kent is aiming at empty space. "Is he lost his mind?" Angus thought while raising his wand to create a defensive ice wall around him to defend Kent\'s attack from any side.

The entire crowd began booing as Angus began surrounding himself with an ice wall.

"Turtle… Snail… Coward..." The cursing followed as everyone made a jeering noise. The image of a turtle formed in the sky as someone released a fire cracker into the air, which appeared like a turtle.

"Sunya Chaya Sara" [Void Shadow Strike]

Kent took a long time to cast this spell, as he is still practicing this arrow spell to perfection. Thankfully, his opponent is very busy creating a shell for himself.

As Kent released the bow string, the black arrow rushed out and created several tunnels of shadows all around the Arena. Most of the crowd doesn\'t know about arch-mage spells, as they are very rare. That\'s why many people didn\'t understand what those shadows would do.

Angus smirked ignorantly at the shadows, as they appeared harmless and powerless to him. Suddenly, terror appeared on his face as Kent vanished from his spot.

"Where did he go?" Angus stuttered as he stared up at the sky. But Kent\'s pet is still on the ground. The crowd erupted in aloud clamor as they saw Kent behind Angus. Angus hurriedly turned around in fear.

"Boom…" [Headshot]

Kent, who stepped inside the shadow\'s, surfaced behind Angus. Raising his fist, he delivered a hard punch with his nimbus gauntlet.

"Ahhh…"

A loud, painful cry followed as Angus fell to the ground. "I\'m done," Angus thought as his body fell to the ground. He didn\'t even dare to get up and fight, as Kent was ready to rain down punches if he dares.

"What a dumbass... I lost all my spirit stones."

Several spectators cursed Angus for not fighting back and for being a high-level fighter. The fight ended quicker than the previous one. No one expected a 1st-level master magus could win against a peak master magus so easily.

The arbiter soon announced the winner, and the crowd began chanting Kent\'s name, impressed by his wit. The fatty began dancing at the edge of the arena with loud shouts. With this much income, his rank is definitely going to rise by leaps and bounds.

Just as everyone thought of leaving the Arena as the arbiter prepared to announce the next match, But just then, dramatic music began playing in the Arena and the arena turned completely black. A focus light fell from the top, focusing a fighter who stood with his head down.

"What the fuck…? Is there another revenge fight?"

"Omg, it\'s going to be divine justice…!!!"

"Idiots… Only the top ten rankers will get this type of dramatic entrance."

A six-legged, tiger-faced lizard appeared beside the fighter, who stood under the focus light. Immediately, the crowd erupted as everyone recognized the pet."

"It\'s Zi Chen, the ground burner."
