Trapp came to sit beside John, who was attentively watching the match. Feeling that somebody had taken the seat beside him that he had reserved for Trapp. John turned around to see who it was. Upon spotting Trapp, John hurriedly greeted him.
"You're here," he said simply.
"Yeah," Trapp replied. then he turned to the arena stage where the battle was ongoing and asked.
"How is it?"
"They've been fighting for some time, but you haven't missed much," John replied.
"Oh... then how is her opponent like?" Trapp asked.
"Very troublesome," was John's reply.
"He has a way of messing with people's minds, causing them to lose focus and their minds to wander in battle. This can be very fatal normally, but with this guy it is especially so." John elaborated.
"He specializes in swift sword attacks and can mobilize gusts of sharp wind blades to attack his opponents. Sadie has already fallen at a disadvantage from the very beginning. But she's
Back in the battle...After the first exchange of strikes, Sadie and the splinter swordsman had already exchanged a few more strikes with each other and, after every clash, Sadie would be covered in more cuts and injuries. These injuries were opened and closed continuously by the wind blades, but as Trapp had analyzed, not much blood came out of the wounds and Sadie was not too affected by them at all.After every exchange of strikes by Sadie and the splinter swordsman, Sadie would always end up in a miserable state while the swordsman seemed to be unscathed. It was as if he was not affected by Sadie's attacks in the slightest and he was always able to avoid danger with his extremely fast movement speed.Watching the fight between Sadie and the splinter swordsman, it would seem as if Sadie were at a complete disadvantage in the battle. But that was not actually the case.Looking closely, after every exchange, Sadie was covered in tiny cuts that bled, but
The battle between Sadie and the Splinter Swordsman, Cell, was reaching its end. Almost everybody in the audience could sense this. If the people watching the battle could, it was especially so for the two of them involved in the battle.Both opponents knew that the match would be concluded in the next few minutes and a winner would be decided between the two of them.They both knew they had pushed themselves to the limit of their ability and had fought with everything they had. But even at that, none of them were able to triumph over the other. Now, after fighting for a long time, they were not at their peak state anymore and a single mistake could result in the match ending.Between Sadie and her opponent, Sadie actually seemed to be in a much better state than her opponent. Although Sadie's stamina had been significantly depleted, she wasn't as affected as the swordsman was.Right now, the swordsman was clearly having trouble keeping his breath stable
Sadie's opponent, Cell, slid down the arena's barrier, leaving a trail of bloody lines on the transparent barrier until he landed on the ground. After struggling to stand up for a few moments, his stamina was finally spent, and he collapsed in defeat.At this moment, the silent arena that had gone quiet when he was sent flying was immediately whipped into a frenzy and loud cheers burst out from all over, drowning the arena in a wave of hoarse laughter and roars.As soon as the swordsman fell in defeat, Sadie was declared the winner of the bidding war. The highlights of her battle were quickly displayed above the arena and on the live broadcast for all to see. It was a celebration of the greatest and most exciting moments during the battle that drew people's attention the most.At the same time, many people were cashing in their rewards for the bets they had made during the match. During this time, there were countless wails of agony from those who had lost big a
A few hours had gone past since Sadie won her first bidding war. Currently, it was already approaching the day cycle station time. This is the time when most people would still be resting in bed but in the main area of the station and, more precisely, the auction house, various activities were still going on and the place was lit up like it was daytime. This was a place that never slept, no matter the time of day, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life continued.On the 500th floor, the central island was still as bright as ever and the huge projection board still displayed numerous items that were being placed for auction. Even at this time, bids were still being placed and people were still on the lookout for treasures to make a profit from.Somewhere on the 500th floor, in a dark corner that was of the ocean that was not as brightly lit as the rest of the floor, there was a medium-sized island floating silently on the surface of the sea. There were no lights sho
Arran gave up on searching for Trapp and the others on the small island. Instead, he quickly sent a message to Trapp asking him of their whereabouts."Where are you guys? I just came out now and didn't find anybody on the island. Are you all this having fun outside? don't you need to rest?"After sending the message, Arran waited for a reply. It didn't take long before he got a reply from Trapp."You're out? How was it... did you make any gains? Forget it. I will hear from you when we meet up.""I am currently together with Sadie and John. We are at the battle arena outside the auction house. You can meet us here if you want. Just take the teleportation hub and you'll be sent here directly. I'll send you our room number in a bit so you can come if you feel like it. Alright, I've got to go... I'm busy right now, so let's chat when you come over."Trapp's message ended on that note and Arran didn't hear from him or the others again. This didn't matte
In a brightly lit street on the central island of the 500th floor of the auction house... Arran was currently standing in front of a stall that was selling brightly colored stone, each giving off a faint trace of essence energy. these stones shone with a multicolored light like a kaleidoscope. They were exceptionally beautiful and mesmerizing, and the stones drew a large crowd who were attracted to them to the stall.These stones were called burning rainbow stones, and they were a kind of energy stones that were rarely found in the universe.The burning rainbow stones were not very valuable, even if they were rare. It didn't exactly have a powerful effect that could be used, nor did it provide many benefits to others. The energy in the burning rainbow stones could not be absorbed and since the energy in it was too little, it could not be used to set of formations or arrays or serve as an energy source for machines.In the end, the burning rainbow stones were sim
Arran was surprised when he heard the man's words, and he looked at him in shock. After recovering, Arran took another look at the man and observed him very closely.Arran never expected to meet somebody that knew his father out here in the universe, and he was beginning to believe that this man might indeed be a Kingsman. He was probably a Kingsman from his father's generation or from the later generations.The reason Arran was almost sure of this is that till now, the identity of Arran's parents had not yet been released to the public and neither was Arran's exact identity known to anybody at all.Although it was easy to guess who Arran's father was judging from the fact that there can only be one Kingsman in every generation and ever since the incident four hundred years ago there have been no more Kingsmen born in the Nero Kingsman family... with Arran suddenly appearing and the other Kingsmen of the other families for this generation being born already, Arr
Arran took a few steps back as he looked at the man with a shocked expression while pointing a finger at him with his jaw dropping to the ground. His actions were very exaggerated and caught the attention of everybody in the street, causing them to turn around and look at the duo. Still, this only went to show just how much shock Arran was in.Finally, Arran managed to calm down. Knowing that he had successfully pulled a lot of attention to himself, Arran forced himself not to react in any way and he approached the man while lowering his head.When the people that were watching saw that nothing was going to happen between the two of them, they quickly went back to doing their own things as they minded their business.Finally, not many people were watching Arran and the man anymore, although there were still a few people paying attention to them. They were mostly the people that were gathered near the stall selling the blazing rainbow stones.At this momen
