Chapter 16 Red Devil

"Yin Scorpion" Aberk had exhausted all his tricks, but it seemed none of them were effective against the "Red Devil" Goron.

Suren could also see that if they continued to exhaust each other like this, Aberk, with his ghostly figure on the stage, would definitely be the one to suffer.

The outcome of the match suddenly became unpredictable.

And clearly, this A-class wanted criminal with a long record of crimes was also aware of this.

Just then, he suddenly pulled back to create some distance, and then with a single leg, instantly drew a hexagram alchemical array on the ground. At the same time, the hand seals changed frequently, and in an instant, he completed the transformation ritual, shouting softly, "Implant Release!"

The gamblers below the stage watched Aberk's actions and became excited again.

"Look, Aberk is getting serious!"

"That's his alchemical implant, the [Blue Steel Scorpion Tail]. It is said to be forged from the hardest known alloy, 'mithril blue steel,' and is indestructible..."

"Heh, he's actually been forced to use his signature skill. That big guy is going to be in trouble. I once saw this guy use that scorpion tail to easily kill an entire regiment of security guards..."

"..."

Suren didn't expect that this guy would complete the implant release in such a short time.

He remembered that at Stormwind Manor, bald Ivan seemed to have taken several seconds.

But Aberk only took 1.3 seconds.

The moment the alchemical array disappeared, Aberk's clothes were suddenly torn apart, and his body lay prostrate on the ground like a scorpion. A metallic scorpion tail nearly three meters long appeared behind him.

This implanted scorpion tail was pieced together from sections of blue steel armor, with graceful lines, and despite being made of metal, it had extraordinary flexibility. It twisted at an odd angle, as if it were alive. And at the tip of the tail, there was a sharp triangular blade, looking like a cobra raising its neck.

Even from a distance, one could feel the strong aura of danger.

......

With the implant unsealed, Aberk didn't give his opponent any chance to react, and still chose to strike first.

The [Blue Steel Scorpion Tail] moved, emitting a strange, subtle metallic "cha-cha" sound.

This time, Aberk changed his previous hit-and-run fighting style and charged straight ahead.

The metallic scorpion tail was more like a snake's head hunting for prey, and it suddenly shot out!

"It can even extend and retract?"

Suren, standing beside the stage, was a little surprised to see the scorpion tail suddenly stretch out like a spring.

To be able to do this, the structure of this metallic implant must be a hundred times more complex than he had imagined. Not only was it mechanically complex, but it also contained dense and mysterious runes.

It looked like a frontal attack, but it was actually a surprise attack.

The suddenly ejected scorpion tail stabbed towards Goron's chest with lightning speed...

Sure enough, with the implant, Aberk's combat power increased several times. Goron could no longer stand still, and the short knife in his hand could not block the aggressive scorpion tail at all.

With a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere.

The harsh sound of metal friction indicated that the two had already exchanged a round.

Goron held his short knife and retreated violently. Looking closely, there was a smooth cut on the chest of his white shirt. Although no blood was seen, this attack was extremely dangerous.

And Aberk's offensive was obviously more than that. Missing with one strike, the [Blue Steel Scorpion Tail], which could be freely ejected and retracted, stabbed out again.

The sound of the wind was endless, creating layers of phantoms.

If they were in an open space, Goron would probably have enough room to dodge. But on the stage, especially one restricted by the explosion-proof罩, the space he could move in was limited.

"Clang", "Clang", "Clang"...

The short knife and the scorpion tail collided hundreds of times in a very short period of time, dazzling everyone.

No one had expected that this seemingly burly Goron would have such agile movements.

Although the bodyguard in the suit looked embarrassed, he didn't show any signs of defeat at this moment.

"So strong!"

Suren was completely stunned.

The fighting skills of these two completely exceeded his understanding. In his previous life, no matter how powerful a fighter was, they could not make such exaggerated moves and movements.

Whether it was physical fitness, strength, speed, or nerve reaction, both of them had reached an unbelievable level.

The moves on the stage that seemed to cause no casualties were fatal to ordinary people, and even to official "professionals." Any small mistake could lead to death on the spot.

This death match opened the door to Suren's new world.

.......

What was surprising was that, faced with such a sharp offensive from his opponent, Goron still blocked with his short knife. Even though the suit on his body was full of holes and there were bloodstains, he didn't seem to have any intention of using a "big move."

Logically speaking, both being Tier 2 professionals, wouldn't this bodyguard have an alchemical implant?

Or was there no time?

"Why hasn't this guy unsealed his implant yet? What is he waiting for..."

Suren's eyes turned, vaguely guessing that things didn't seem that simple.

And just then, the things that happened as he expected.

Probably seeing that the battle on the stage had been deadlocked for a long time, suddenly, in the mysterious boxes on the second floor of the arena, a one-way glass slowly lowered. A slightly fat middle-aged man with a gold-rimmed monocle and a mustache, with a gloomy face, shouted in a deep voice towards the arena below, "Kill that guy, and I'll give you your freedom!"

This mustache had placed a heavy bet on this match.

It was clearly a sure win, and he couldn't watch it become a "draw," or be deliberately lost by that lowly bodyguard, causing him to lose a lot of money.

These words were not loud, but they seemed to have magic power.

Everyone's eyes looked over.

Someone recognized the mustache and murmured, "That's... Mendesai Batalov, the big boss of 'Batalov Liquor Group'!"

Old Lunden lacked clean water, and didn't have enough food to brew wine, but the demand was very large. Therefore, the liquor industry, a high-profit industry, created a series of gold-swallowing behemoths, and this "Mendesai Batalov" was one of the top rich people in the inner city.

.......

And at this moment, Suren immediately understood what Goron was waiting for.

"Humph!"

The moment the mustache showed his face, a cold snort rang out on the stage.

The "Red Devil" Goron's whole aura suddenly changed, like a lion awakening from its sleep. The calm numbness in his eyes disappeared, and for the first time, he burst out with a murderous intent that seemed to be substantial.

The one who felt it most strongly was naturally Aberk on the stage.

This A-class wanted criminal, who had killed countless people, saw Goron's suddenly soaring aura and shouted inwardly that things were bad. That terrifying gaze, like a needle, pierced into his body.

Originally, he wanted to hide some tricks and find a chance to "escape."

But now, he dismissed the idea of ​​reserving his strength. Suddenly, he opened his mouth, and his jaw dislocated in an exaggerated manner, revealing a pipe that was actually flashing with metallic luster.

Before others could see what happened, a thick purple poisonous gas gushed out, instantly sweeping across the entire arena.

The huge "explosion-proof罩" became the best barrier for the poisonous gas, and in just a few seconds, the entire stage was invisible.

"What...what happened?"

"It seems that Aberk sprayed poisonous gas..."

"This is terrible. We can't see anything, and there's poison in the air. That big guy is probably in danger."

"This stage is too advantageous for assassin-type professionals like Aberk. Sigh... I'm afraid the 'Red Devil' I bet on will lose everything. I even heard rumors that this guy was very powerful..."

"..."

The purple poisonous gas shrouded the entire stage, and the gamblers couldn't see anything, and they all complained.

But this kind of competition is so cruel. With killing as the ultimate goal, everyone only accepts the result, and doesn't care about the process.

Suren also frowned as he watched.

The poisonous gas that Aberk used as his trump card would definitely not be simple.

The stage was sealed off, and there was no way to avoid it.

Thinking that Goron was powerful, the best outcome was probably to die together.

"Looks like I'm going to lose a thousand yuan..."

Suren muttered in his heart, but he didn't feel sorry for losing the money.

At least seeing such a wonderful battle between professionals, the ticket was worth it.

At the same time, looking at the poisonous fog, his face also became a little strange, thinking: If that guy had done this when he came to the stage before, wouldn't everyone in this casino have to be buried with him?

The big shots in the boxes on the second floor could probably escape, but few of these ordinary gamblers would survive.

Tsk tsk... this world is dangerous.

Suren felt that without supernatural power, he could really die in an accident at any time.

.......

The poisonous gas filled the air, and nothing could be seen.

The large gambling house fell silent, with only occasional whispers from the gamblers.

Was it over?

The gamblers were all prepared, waiting to unveil the results of the competition.

But just then, suddenly!

A strange noise caught everyone's attention.

With a loud "thump",

It sounded like something had hit the explosion-proof shield heavily.

Then...

Again, with a rough "thump", the movement came again from another direction. Vaguely, a shadow was seen falling on the glass cover, and then disappearing in an instant.

"Isn't it over yet? What happened inside?"

Instantly, the huge casino was silent.

All the gamblers stared at the poisonous gas罩, trying to figure out what happened.

Just then, suddenly, a roar sounded.

"Roar!"

The sound was like a terrifying monster being angry, making people feel dizzy even through the glass罩.

Then, a dense, rain-like "thump thump" sound was heard... like the muffled sound of a hammer hitting the ground, and the entire gambling house trembled.

Before long, the movement disappeared.

Everything returned to calm.

Before them was still the explosion-proof罩 full of poisonous gas.

The gamblers in the hall looked confused.

Everyone looked at each other, as if revealing the same doubt in their eyes: What exactly happened?

.......

"The match is over, the red side wins!"

Amid the confused expressions of the gamblers, the organizer suddenly announced the result.

It seemed that the casino had a special method to confirm that the blue side's gladiator was dead.

Just then, the automatic ventilation device under the ring was also activated, and the thick purple poisonous gas was sucked into the ground in a blink of an eye.

As the poisonous fog dissipated, the vision gradually became clear, and everyone could see what happened.

On the ring, a huge red-skinned monster stood there murderously.

"That's... Hellboy?"

Suren's eyes twitched as he looked at the red-skinned muscle monster.

But obviously not, this guy didn't have horns on his head.

On the ground, a mass of scarlet flesh and blood tissue was no longer human-shaped. And the indestructible [Blue Steel Scorpion Tail] was also broken into sections of metal fragments...

The entire ring was a mess.

Obviously, the corpse on the ground was "Yin Scorpion" Aberk.

Then... the red-skinned muscle monster was "Red Devil" Goron.

As if time had stopped for a few seconds, at this time, someone exclaimed, "Oh my God... I thought it was just a nickname, but I didn't expect that the guy's awakened talent was really 'B-level', known as one of the strongest melee talents, [B-002-Red Devil]!"

Legend has it that it is even stronger than most A-level talents in melee combat!

.......

And next to the ring, looking at the mighty and domineering red-skinned "Hellboy," a kind of emotion that made his scalp numb rolled out of his psychology.

He guessed that "Red Devil" Goron was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be so brutal!

Once the big move was turned on, it was simply a crush.

The gap between the two was unbelievably large.

Why is a bodyguard who comes out of the inner city so strong?

Is it just because of talent?

Doubts arose in Suren's heart.

Looking again at the团 "gray mist" on the ground尸体, he was even more looking forward to it.

And I don't know when, Captain Kai also squeezed to the side of the ring.

Looking at the situation on the stage, this new professional also sighed with emotion, and muttered to himself: "The inner city gathers more than 90% of the alchemical resources of Old Lunden, houses the most top-level cursed objects, has the most professional sequences, alchemy drawings, and rare talented people... That's why so many strong people are breaking their heads to get into the inner city."
