Chapter 89 - Mike Appeared Once Again, His Opponent Immediately Forfeited!
Chapter 89: Mike Appeared Once Again, His Opponent Immediately Forfeited!
Instantly, a white light flashed.
Mike once again returned to the VIP seats. He sat down next to the king and casually ate the grapes on his plate.
The audience erupted into a tsunami of cheers.
Everyone was impressed by the strength that Mike had displayed.
Powerful, too powerful!
The king looked at Mike in surprise.
As someone who could be the king, he had to have good control over his emotions.
However, this time, he really could not conceal his emotions.
God Slayer could casually use such a powerful attack?
Even David was injured…
No, not injured!
He was only affected by the aftershock of the attack.
He actually fell to the ground and could not get up.
However, the king was not worried about David’s safety.
As the commander of the Royal Guards, the king had naturally given him some benefits.
For example, David’s armor was given by the king.
It was an armor that could block magic attacks.
However, David who was lying on the ground was naked.
Because the armor had completely shattered.
It was only the aftermath of an attack, but it actually shattered the armor that was worth thousands of gold coins.
One could imagine how powerful the attack was.
At this time, David had already been carried away by the medical staff for treatment.
The referee was changed to the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, Lucious.
The competition continued.
..
In the VIP seats.
the king took a deep breath to calm himself and said,
“God Slayer, you are indeed very strong.
“If you are willing, I can give you a good position. What do you think?”
Sure enough.
Just as Mike had thought.
There must be a reason for this martial arts competition. It could not just be for the residents of the City of Light to enjoy themselves.
It seemed that the king wanted to recruit some strong people for his use.
As for why he suddenly wanted to recruit strong people…
There must be a reason. It was just that this reason had not come to light.
Mike did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked,
“What position and what benefits?”
If it was any other player, saying such words would have angered the king.
It might even lower their friendliness with the king.
However, Mike did not have to worry about this.
He had already reached the friendliness of respect among the humans.
If one had to give an example.
In the eyes of normal human NPCs, their friendliness toward the king was only respect.
Only God could achieve fanatical faith friendliness from the human NPCs.
Of course, if players had the opportunity, they could also reach fanatical faith.
However, the friendliness toward the king was limited to respect.
Hence, in the eyes of the king, Mike was on equal footing with him.
Moreover, the king himself was extremely respectful of Mike.
It was just that due to his status as the king, he needed to put on an act.
Previously, the king was very curious about what this adventurer had done to obtain such a high bounty.
No, or rather…
How strong he was to be able to obtain such a high bounty.
That was a total of 200,000 gold coins!
Now he finally understood.
It was not that God Slayer’s strength was worth 200,000 gold coins.
It was that he had only committed a sin worth 200,000 gold coins.
If he wanted to, two million… No, perhaps even 20 million gold coins were achievable.
Terrifying.
This was the king’s evaluation of God Slayer.
..
Facing Mike’s question, the king thought for a moment and replied,
“The exact official position given to you will depend on your performance in this martial arts competition.”
Hearing this answer, Mike frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
Because he had already decided that he only wanted to get second place and get the reward of the skill book.
He had no intention of obtaining the first place reward, which was a weapon.
However, the attitude of the king now conflicted with his plan.
If he did not win the championship, it seemed that he would not get the best position.
In consequence, Mike had to make a decision.
After thinking for a while, Mike decided to wait until the time came.
Anyway, he couldn’t come up with an answer now.
Soon, the first round of the match was over.
Half of the 216 players were eliminated in less than an hour.
After all, not every match took a minute.
In this kind of competition, most of the matches ended quickly.
After all, the two contestants would want to reduce each other’s HP as fast as possible.
After a short five-minute break, the second round of the match began.
It was still a one-on-one match, and the time limit was still one minute.
After all, there were still 108 people left. It would take a total of 54 minutes if all players played a full minute.
Although most of them would not last for a full minute, in order to prevent the match from lasting too long and reduce the viewing quality, the time limit was still necessary.
After ten minutes, it was Mike’s turn to play again.
The moment Mike appeared.
The audience erupted into a tsunami of cheers once again.
They really wanted to see Mike’s wonderful performance again.
However, two people trembled when they saw Mike’s appearance.
One of them was naturally Mike’s opponent in this round.
Meeting Mike was no different from declaring defeat.
The other one was the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, Lucious.
When Lucious saw Mike, he immediately thought of what had happened to David.
His armor was not as good as David’s.
If he was the one who took that blow, he would have lost his life.
Thinking of this, he immediately took a few steps back and came to the edge of the arena.
To ensure that he could retreat out of the arena at the first possible moment so that he could at least keep his life.
However, just as Lucious’s body tensed up and was ready to jump out of the arena right after he said “Let the match begin”.
Mike’s opponent raised his hand and took the initiative to shout,
“I forfeit!”
This situation came too suddenly, and everyone was stunned.
Following which, there were loud boos and curses.
“F*ck, you loser!”
“You adventurers won’t really die, why don’t you fight!”
“Trash, trash, loser!”
Facing such curses, that player trembled, but he tried his best to endure it.
Logically speaking, even if he met a strong opponent, there was no reason for him to forfeit.
After all, he could resurrect after he died, and dying in the arena would not deduct EXP.
However, this was only under normal circumstances.
Coincidentally, the person who fought Mike was a friend of his.
Moreover, his friend had just told him an incomprehensible situation.
After being killed by Mike, he actually decreased by one level!
