Chapter 607 What punishment?
Inside the Gladiator Arena, as the array in the sky disappeared into a shower of tiny sparks, Elizabeth was the first to take flight, followed by Old Hal. The other robed figures accompanying the old man hurried to help Ned with his injuries. But they were taken aback when they saw the man's condition, silently vowing never to judge a person by their appearance again.
The people from the dark side were completely terrified at the fate awaiting them with the two shadow generals gone. Realizing they had to fight to survive, they launched an immediate attack. However, before their strikes could land on anyone, Elizabeth swiftly raised her hand, creating a powerful barrier that trapped them all.
She was a powerful presence, unmatched by anyone in the Gladiator Arena except for the men called Ceano. Sadly, that bastard was stronger than her.
Her booming voice resonated through the air as she pacified the audience.
"Settle down, everyone. It's not the time to panic. It's the time to celebrate! Finally, after so many years, one of the shadow generals has met his demise!"
A broad smile appeared on her lips.
"I can't express the happiness I feel that such a formidable enemy was defeated by none other than a young human... and that human is from my planet! Haha, Kyle, I will always remember this name I heard, and I believe you all will too. Indeed, he deserves the title of nature's favorite... or maybe any title he chooses for himself."
Instantly, her smile turned stern, and a solemn expression graced her face.
"He accomplished the unimaginable, vanquishing a powerful foe. I aim to acknowledge his deeds and those of his companions, yet their transgression in the Gladiator Arena cannot be overlooked. Rules are rules, and they must face the consequences of their misconduct. No exceptions shall be made to uphold the integrity of the Gladiator Arena as a place where regulations are important."
Whispers swirled through the air as the crowd chattered about the silver-haired man and his companions. They caused quite a stir and then vanished.
He asked with fists clenched and jaw tight. He wanted to see Kyle suffer for what the human did to him. This kind of humiliation, Ned had never faced before, and he felt he had lost all his dignity.
All those who saw him being beaten by Kyle would mock him for life for being defeated by a mere divine-rank human. He waited for Elizabeth's answer with anticipation. After all, even if he couldn't find the human, she could with her powerful influence.
Elizabeth blinked, tilting her head with a puzzled expression.
"What punishment?"
Ned's expression sank upon hearing her words, a realization hitting him.
"Don't tell me...?"
Elizabeth patted his shoulder, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Listen, Kyle and his crew, they are a big plus for our side. Their strength is top-notch, and I'm sure they will be a huge help to us in the future. I noticed their strong aversion to the dark side."
Her smirk widened.
"I am not going to punish any of them. It was simply a way to calm the crowd. Forget what happened to you; it was a result of your own actions. Kyle and his friends will soon join us, fighting against the dark forces alongside you as comrades. Clear your heart, or you may regret it."
Elizabeth's gaze turned cold with a warning. After seeing Ned grow pale under her stare, she departed the Gladiator Arena.
She wanted to personally let everyone fighting in the war know that the future looks bright because many formidable allies would soon join them.
