Chapter 1108: Might and Magic

Dumm Ting versus Caleb, the fight was finally here. Seth was curious whether the Dragon Knight would be able to avenge his friend, or would another acquaintance from the Evaluation fall to the fist of the vicious cultivator?

After all they had seen in the previous fights, it was unlikely that Dumm Ting would be able to make it to the finals. In the previous fights, participants had finally started showing skills that were able to damage the rare-rated marble Vathon used to tile the arena.

Dumm Ting, on the other hand, had already peaked in the very first fight against Polter and wasn't able to harm the arena even in his berserk mode. It was unlikely that he would go much further, but would Caleb be the one to stop him? Seth knew Caleb had yet to summon his Wyvern, but he was unsure whether the giant reptile would be a big help in this fight.

Whether he was able to kick his opponent out or not, the audience was on his side, calling on the knight to finally end the cultivator's win streak. The source for Dumm Ting's power had long been published and became well known to all viewers. Even the Muscle Mommy Cult was on Caleb's side, despite his defeating Simplicity in the previous round.

In the arena, the two enemies entered the stage. Caleb cracked his knuckles, as he signaled that he was ready. After Dumm Ting did the same, Umi once again announced the start of the fight. The knight had yet to move when a massive fist struck his stomach.

With an evil grin, the cultivator had attacked the moment the match was announced.

“I heard you were a friend of the midget. I have also seen your fights until now. If you think you can win against me with those half-baked skills, you should give up avenging your body. Just become an obedient stepping stone for my greatness!” he rambled on. Caleb had taken a few steps back, not saying anything. Now, he looked up.

“Sorry, I was just surprised. Was that all?” he asked, wiping non-existent dust from his cuirass, where his opponent's fist hit. he seemed completely fine, despite the punch that had echoed in the arena.

Suddenly, the knight appeared right in front of the hulk, who was two heads taller and three shoulders wider than him. The gauntlet sunk into the chiseled six-pack, as Caleb reciprocated the earlier surprise attack.

“You would better start using that power you are so proud of If you don't want to be pummeled to death by an amateur. You know, the one you got from cowardly killing women and children,” he taunted confidently.

Even Seth and the others in the booth were surprised by this move. Caleb was clearly even stronger and faster than in the previous fights.

“I guess he took them all, today,” Jane commented

“What do you mean?” Mary asked her.

“Oh, you know... he bought out pretty much all the epic-rated potions from Turquoise Anvil. Even the experimental stuff,” she said with a shrug.

A blade of unique Design created by Craftsman Pennyworth. Using Ithildin, the weapon possesses an incredible magic conductivity that further strengthens the enchantments of the Arcane Blacksmith.>

Liam Pennyworth was one of the two blacksmiths, together with Neill Repmore, who they had recruited from the craftsman of Delta. Liam had an easily recognizable style, as he kept putting a lot of effort into engraving the features of beasts into the weapons, most often dragons.

In this case, the sword in question was more of a knife. It was single-edged with a dragon engraved on the back and sides of the blade so that it looked like the tip emerged from its maw. The shield featured the portrait of a ferocious turtle, doing the same as the sword, except the active skill created a barrier instead of firing a flame lance.

This was just decoration, which actually lowered the durability of the sword to a certain degree. It was to make him stop this bad habit since his weapons sold well with people who didn't know about the drawbacks of this decoration. Although the works of their new recruits could hardly compare to what Seth, Tored, or the dwarfs were able to produce, it was good enough to be sold as a regular product in the Turquoise Anvil.

“Haha, yes...” Jane admitted readily.

Seth wasn't bothered that Caleb bought equipment from their store. What he was confused about was that Caleb originally owned a relic-rated lance. So why did he switch to a shield and sword in this fight?
