Chapter 398: Death and Defeat

"Boom!" Rol was thrown away violently like a piece of crumpled paper. He bumped into the wall and created large web of cracks. Judging by it, though he managed to successfully deflect attack, the impact of the force was powerful enough to throw him.

"Grug!" Rol spat a mouthful of blood and Ken knelt down to the ground, catching his breath. He didn't expect that the result would be this devastating. However, he had no choice either and this would come one way or another.

But it's not over yet. Though he could now see the difference between him and Shila Su, he wasn't willing to give up just like that.

"Stabilize!" Rol chanted and did his very best on stabilizing his flow. Then, he buffed his black spear once again and created a black flame, covering his surroundings. The flame looked like it could devour everything it touched.

"Activate!" Then, Rol made the flames circulate in a single point and made a torrential wave like a burning tsunami.

Shila Su was watching everything happened calmly, as if it the matter didn't matter at all. But, he was giving his utmost focus and seriousness in the happenings. He couldn't let his guard down, because this battle was a matter between life and death.

"Boom!" The next second, the torrential wave moved towards Shila Su and wanted to eat him alive.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Shila Su threw large and solid punches towards the flames that made it back off for a second. However, it pushed forward once again once the force was gone.

"Hmm?" Shila Su was a bit surprised. Those punches was enough to destroy a world yet it just made the flames back off for a little while?

"Boom! Bang!" Shila Su gave another round of solid punches. However this time, it was stronger and devastating. Then, he gave two kicks but it was also useless.

"Open!" But, Shila Su didn't stop there. He gave millions of punches towards the flame and went all out. The punches were stronger and more force packed inside each. These punches could deter everyone helpless. Even on the devil's side, they were a bit shocked to see this.

"Pshh!" Now, the torrential flames were no more and the punches had no target to attack to. So, it automatically locked target towards Rol who was trying to catch his breath. That torrential waves was his strongest attack and the most consuming of all. Thus, he was in this state.

"Argh!" Rol tried to defend against these violent punches by making his spear as the shield. However, his prized spear was instantly shattered after receiving several blows.

"No!" Rol was terrified knowing that this happened. Though he was already prepared that this would happen, the despair and helplessness was inevitable and it couldn't help him. His pride was destroyed instantly and he showed no more resistance as if he was accepting his death and defeat.

"Boom!" After that, Rol received thousands of punches without saying a word and become a mist of blood and exploded.

And just like that, Shila Su was the winner of the very first bout.

It was a good start for the Rou family, and a good thing that happened. Perhaps, they could win this so-called tournament of the emperor.

Shila Su returned to his usual body size and knelt down to the ground. He was very exhausted. Using consecutive powerful systems had drained him dry. In fact, if not because of his muscles supporting him, he might have already slumped down to the ground.

Soon, the red glow of the arena was gone and after recovering an energy to walk away, he rushed over to his camp and seek attention from his wife.

"You've pushed yourself too much." Keisa Su said with tender voice, "If not for your inborn body, you would have died already after using so many terrifying systems."

"Well, I need to. Or else, you'll lose a husband." Shila Su rest his head on her embrace and was filled with warmth.

Keisa Su didn't say anything. But she was so happy that his husband had won and survived the battle.

On the other side, the emperor sighed. He knew that Rol wasn't enough to deal with someone from the celestial family. But he didn't have a choice either. Demure was supposed to that one who would represent but he was now dead, so the emperor could only choose the second best.

But it was too late now. His strongest general wasn't enough to kill Shila Su, that fact remained unchanged.

Anyway, it's not over yet. It was just the beginning of this bloody battle. Who knew what would happen, right? Though the emperor was confident with his subordinates, he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy. As someone who lived for so long, life and death experiences thought him many things.

"I guess it's my turn now." Maymar, the 4th true devil, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want for me to do something during the battle?"

"Hmm, just kill your opponent without underestimating them. Be sure to cut the enemy clean." The emperor said, "Remember, it should be you to be emerged victorious. The enemy has already got one win, and we couldn't afford to let them win more. After all, three more wins and they would win this game I personally suggested. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

The emperor's tone was so cold that it gave shivers down the bodies of his subordinates.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Please expect my victory against the enemy." Maymar bowed and immediately went ahead and entered the arena with a calm composure.

After healing Shila Su's wounds, Keisa took a deep breath and stood up, "I guess, it's my turn now."

The group had already decided in which order they would participate. And the Rou family decided to let the Su husband and wife to fight the earlier opponents. After all, weaker opponents would surely be sent earlier. Thus, the chances of winning would be higher during that time.

Of course, the other party had agreed instantly. This way, their safety would be assured more.
