Chapter 249: Resurrection

Chapter 249: ResurrectionChapter 249: Resurrection

Monumental silence gripped the arena post Cervantez’s attack on Leo.

‘TheBoss’ was the crowd favorite to win the grand tournament by a massive margin, however, the home hero seemed to have been vanquished by lightning as his dead body sizzled on the ground while his skin appeared to be charred underneath his burnt robes.

“Did he just kill one of the Empire’s most promising young talents just like that?”

“Is he dead? Father? Is The Boss really dead?” A small kid wearing a Virex mask asked his father, as he felt anxious seeing his hero fall.

Overall, there was not a single individual in the audience that was cheering, as everyone felt deeply disturbed by the scene they were witnessing.

This wasn’t a clean fight, this wasn’t a clash between Titans. This was a one sided mauling, where one of the two fighters brought a gun to a knife fight and absolutely shot down the other one to shreds.

“My boy…. My boy…..” Ben said, watching in tears as the old assassin felt his heart break into a million pieces.

He had already lost everyone that he dearly loved and could not bear to see Leo in such a pitiful state.

Thankfully his emotions had paralyzed him, as if not for him feeling saddened and his mind blanking out, Cervantez would have most likely already died by now.

*********

( Leo’s POV )

[ System Notification – You have been killed by a lighting strike.

You will lose 4 levels and 2 random gear items upon dying.

Would you like to use the Death Evasion Token to evade death and not suffer the consequences of dying? ]

[ Yes

No ]

[ System Notification – You have used the (???) grade item ‘Death Evasion Token’, you will respawn with 20% HP ]

[ System Notification – You have observed the lost move ‘Lightning Strike’ , your special class move ‘mimic’ has managed to copy ‘Lightning Strike’ and it can now be used for 2 uses ]

Leo got a flurry of notifications in front of him, as he slowly got back to his feet while his body sizzled like it was being barbecued alive.

In his head, Leo was already cursing himself for being too sloppy as he had grossly underestimated Cervantez in this fight.

He had genuinely believed that he would be able to block or counter whatever attack Cervantez produced against him, however, never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that Cervantez was going to produce a literal lightning blast that would strike him at the speed of light.

It was his mistake for underestimating Cervantez and it was a mistake that ended up costing him the usage of an invaluable ‘Death Evasion Token’, however, while it was a tragedy for him, the shock that the entire audience received when he started to get back on his feet was even more profound.

“The winner of this match via inca– what? Wait a second, holy hell he’s moving… he’s moving…” The match announcer screamed like a baby, as he was on the verge of calling the match when Leo suddenly started to move and get back to his feet.

The crowd that was stunned to silence after Cervantez’s attack and struggling to process what was going on, got another major shock to see Leo stir back up to his feet, as they could not imagine anyone who could survive such a blast.

“There’s no way he took that hit and is getting back up…. That was a third tier spell at the minimum, it’s not something even master level fighters can take without being paralyzed.

There is no way he’s getting back to his feet” West Duke James said, as he could not believe his eyes as to what he was witnessing.

“HAHAHAHA…. The Boss, what a character…. Hahaha, I knew that kid’s special” The Emperor Julien D Evanus said in joy, as he felt overjoyed to see The Boss back up to his feet.

*CHEERS*

“BOSSSSS!!!!!”

“HE’S OKAY…. HE’S OKAY! OUR HERO’S OKAY”

The cheer that Leo got, when he got back up to his feet was unreal.

The entire crowd went absolutely bananas as if they had just watched someone resurrect from the dead as Leo’s legacy as the ‘Unbroken’ fighter was set in stone now with this fight being the deciding moment.

“No way he just got back up…. There is no fucking way that he just got back up”

“GOAT!!!! THE BOSS IS THE GOAT!”

The uprising members and bookies who for a second thought that they had lost their life savings by betting it all on Leo, screamed at the top of their lungs when he began to stir again, as in the entire arena, the only people who were genuinely depressed to see him move were Cervantez, The Royal Sword Academy members and the DarkSky guild members.

Cervantez especially could hardly believe his eyes as when Leo rose to his feet, Cervantez felt his legs tremble with fear, as this event exceeded even his own wildest expectations.

‘How?’ Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

For the 100,000th time in his life, he could not understand the logic behind the circumstances surrounding ‘TheBoss’.

9999999/10000000 times, any player under level 250 being hit by this kind of attack would have died on the spot, yet somehow, The Boss rose back up to his feet like this attack did not even faze him and began cracking his neck muscles.

“Wooo…. That was a good one guildmaster, I’ll give you credit for that” Leo said, as not only did he get back to his feet, but he got back to his feet with his usual sassy attitude, as if the previous attack had not fazed him at all.

“Lost arts- the lightning strike? Seems like an interesting move…” Leo said, as he pointed towards the sky imitating Cervantez’s own actions, and began gathering his mana.

‘No way…. He’s bluffing… there’s no way he can perform the lightning strike…. He’s an assassin….’ Cervantez thought, as he gulped in a mouthful of saliva, thinking Leo was surely bluffing with his pose.
