"Are you for real... is this person a monster!"
Nobody knew who first asked this question, but after this, a lot of voices rose up from the audience. These voices were filled with doubt and disbelief as they watched Arran toy with Carrum on the stage.
"Seriously, this is unbelievable. Even a monster like this is no match for this Arran guy. For real, the Kingsmen are seriously overpowered!"
"I hear you... this is truly an eye-opener. it's even more unbelievable that this Kingsman is very young. From what I heard, he is not even twenty years old, and he is already this strong. With strength like that at such a young age, he has to be the strongest genius with the most potential in this generation, right?"
"Indeed, this Kingsman is really a talent, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him the strongest talent with the most potential. Don't forget that most of his strength is not actually his, but is actually borrowed. Also, his opponent might not have shown
As soon as Carrum's transformation ended and his final form appeared on the stage... immediately, an uproar started among the audience.Damn!"What is that!""It is actually that thing! How the hell did something like that appear here!"All as one, shouts of surprise and curses rang out among the audience. Looking at Carrum's grotesque form after his transformation, everybody watching the ceremony but on-site and online were outraged.Every single Aeth burst into an outrageous uproar at what they were seeing. They could not be any more familiar with what Carrum had turned to.They went by many names...Decadent, Horror, Fallen... each of these names is used by the Aeth to describe those who had been tempted by the Shade race and caused to fall.It was well known to everybody that the Etherium gave birth to four intelligent races and that after a huge war between three of those races to decide the overlord of the world; the Aeth
Arran's vision was clouded by darkness and he could not feel a thing at all except a constant pressure, as if something was trying to crush him to dust.Outside, what everybody else was seeing was a veil of darkness that had suddenly appeared to swallow Arran's figure from out of nowhere. This scene reminded everybody of Joyner Wellington and how he had lost to Carrum.Immediately, there was a tense atmosphere in the crowd. Everybody had forgotten the matter of Carrum turning into a decadent horror, instead of waiting to see what Arran's outcome would be.While waiting with bated breaths, shallow voices discussed amongst each other."Look, it's that terrifying move that defeated Joyner. The Fallen had finally decided to use it.""Indeed, I have been really looking forward to seeing this move once again. To be honest, till now I can not fathom how the moves work. I only know that it is a game-changer once it is used.""That's true... I dare s
'So that's how it is! No wonder it is so powerful. With such power, I dare say that not many people will be able to withstand such an attack!'Sigh!'Truly, the universe is filled with countless wonders. This is just the ability of a weakling and it's already so strong. Just how strong will those bigshots that are said to be powerful enough to dominate a region of the universe by themselves be?''When will I also have that kind of strength for myself? It is strength like that I need to find my parents. I'm really looking forward to the future right now.'Arran stood on the stage as countless thoughts went through his head.Right now, the stage was unexpectedly peaceful as Arran and the Decadent Horror stopped moving.While Arran was going through his thoughts, the Decadent Horror had stopped attacking him. It was looking at Arran with signs of fear and horror in its eyes.The Decadent Horror could not believe that after all the Dark V
Arran was right...Carrum had nothing to say about this. For Arran to be able to accurately guess the ability of the Dark Veil from just seeing it once, his perception must have been outstanding.Among the people who watched Carrum's last match against Joyner in person here, there were probably not more than a handful of people that had been able to guess how the Dark Veil worked. Among these people, Arran was probably the only participant to have done so. The others were mostly senior experts themselves and their strength should be greater than the average person.This means that when it comes to the aspect of perception, Arran was way ahead of his peers.This fact on its own was irrefutable.Arran's perception and sensory abilities had always been his greatest point. Now that he had the help of the [World Essence Pulse Bracer], Arran's perception had already become very fearsome. This was why he was able to make some guesses on the abilities of t
Carrum was killed just like that...He died without knowing how it had happened. Not to talk about the shock Carrum felt at the moment of his death. Even the audience was shocked by this surprising result.The audience had thought Arran was done for due to Carrum's sneak attack.At that moment, when Carrum's tail was whipping towards Arran, aiming to pierce through his heart, everybody thought it was the end of Arran. They all felt it was a pity that Arran had let his guard down at the last moment, thus causing him to drop the ball. What no one had expected was that instead of Arran being pierced through his heart, it would be Carrum who would have his head rolling.As for how Arran was able to kill Carrum despite being ambushed... it was actually very simple.The fact was that Arran had never actually let his guard down. Even though Carrum had seemed defenseless and although it looked like he was actually ready to die, Arran hadn't believed it for
Back to Arran... Arran was in danger. He could feel a terrifying killing intent locked on him. The owner of this killing intent was very powerful and Arran could not even muster up the strength to even think of resisting. Danger bells continued ringing in Arran's ears and as he stood rooted on the stage shivering, Arran urged himself to move. Apart from the incomparable sense of fear that overwhelmed Arran, there was also a powerful voice in his head that shouted at Arran to take a step forward. Just a single step forward! As if Arran was caught in a spell and was entranced, he kept on shouting at himself, saying. 'Move!' 'Move!' 'Move dammit! If not, you're going to die!' "These damn legs will you move... just a single step! A single step is all I need!" Right now, Arran had fallen into an unusual state. In this state, apart from the fear he felt and that terrifying killing intent, the only thing Arran felt was
Arran frowned when he heard the evil-looking man's proposal. At the same time, he broke out in a cold sweat at the manner in which he was being propositioned.Ever since the evil-looking man's face had appeared in the fog, Arran already had a guess as to who he was. This evil-looking man was probably the Shade who had tempted Carrum and caused him to fall, ultimately transforming him into a decadent horror.This much was not hard to guess, as it was actually pretty obvious. This was why Arran was so guarded against the man in the fog.Apart from the fact that e had almost died at the evil-looking man's hand, Arran was naturally on guard due to the man's identity as a Shade. Now that Arran had seemingly caught the Shade's attention, he did not know how to respond to this.Actually, Arran was not too worried to have caught this Shade's attention. Ultimately, both the Aeth and the shades were bitter enemies and both sides would try to kill each other on sigh
On the stage, a silent confrontation was going on between two forces.After Arran was saved by the golden barrier, a voice called out loudly, rebuking the Shade, who was referred to as Shade Lord Scholler.After that, like an ethereal mist, the figure of Councilman Homer appeared on the stage. He was standing in front of Arran, acting like a barrier between Arran and the shade lord.The dark green fog was still everywhere on the stage and it blocked the vision of everybody else in the venue.At this time, due to the sudden appearance of the Shade in the fog, it seemed like the chosen ceremony was put on hold. Signs of panic started to appear in the venue of the chosen ceremony but before it could spread any further, numerous while clad shadows appeared... effectively putting an end to the upstarts who were causing trouble.As for Arran... hiding safely inside the barrier, Arran felt his legs go soft, and he was almost unable to keep supporting hims
