Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Uncle Manna... At the mention of this name, Maria's expression became a little strange.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Zofia was worthy of being a former competitive knight, and caught Maria's abnormal expression in an instant.

"It's nothing." Maria shook her head hastily.

Maria originally wanted to tell her that her sister had returned to Casimir, but she remembered Manna's warning to her, so she quickly covered up the anomaly just now.

"I haven't seen my uncle for a while, and I don't know what he's up to."

Without seeing Manna, she has no way of knowing about her sister's situation. Although Maria dislikes her uncle very much, she also knows that she must not make trouble at such a time.

Manna hates it a bit, and even seems to be against Maria everywhere, but Maria has to admit that Manna is still very reliable in various major matters.

Zofia didn't want to talk too much about Manna's affairs, so when she heard that he was not here, she simply put it aside.

"Forget it, let's not mention that guy, Maria, what do you do next? If you have time, would you like to watch a few games with me?"

The competition here naturally refers to the knight competition.

"I have time! Of course I have time!" Maria immediately agreed upon hearing this.

Maria is a fairly typical Casimir, how could she not be interested in knightly competitions?It's just that her pocket money is usually invested in the workshop, and she has no money to buy tickets for the arena. If Zofia would occasionally help her out, Maria might have difficulty even buying new clothes.

"By the way, since you are Maria's friend, do you want to come with me?"

Zofia naturally also extended an invitation to Adele, "It's fine for me to bring two more people in."

"Well...Actually, I'm not very interested in knightly competitions..." Adele said a little coyly.

For the fighting and killing activities such as knight competitions, Adele couldn't arouse the slightest interest at all, and she didn't know what the fun was at all.

In her opinion, instead of going to the arena to watch the game and wasting time, it is more useful to sit in the room and read two more books. This may be the biggest difference between the Letanians and the Casimirs.

"Come on, Aiyafala, you stay in the house all day, don't you feel bored?" Maria grabbed Adele's hands and shook them lightly, "Just think of going out with me Finished playing."

"Okay, okay..."

Maria had already begged like this, and Adele was too embarrassed to refuse, so she reluctantly agreed.

Unwaking Dreams: Chapter 32 Scarlet

"There are so many people~"

There were dense crowds all around, and after Maria came out, she ran around excitedly, unable to calm down at all.

Seeing Maria running around, Zofia couldn't help shouting, "Maria! Be careful not to get lost, you won't be able to enter the arena alone."

"I'm sorry." Maria finally calmed down and obediently returned to Zofia's side.

The people gathered here are basically spectators who are going to the arena to watch the game. Such a lively scene is rare in Letania, where the pace of life is much slower than this.

At this time, the preliminaries of the special championship were in full swing, and the arenas in the city were almost full for 24 hours, and there were countless competitive knights fighting on the arena every minute and every second.

Therefore, the quality of the games is mostly uneven, and whether you can see exciting games is purely luck.

Anyway, she just came out to relax, so Zofia didn't choose much, she just found a large arena that was relatively close, and brought the two of them over.

They didn't buy tickets for the arena at all before, but there was no need to worry about it at all, as Maria was somewhat special.

Zofia was one of the top sixteen of the last special championship. Even though she has retired now, her treatment is much better than that of ordinary knights.

The special championship has been held for more than 20 sessions. Excluding those who have died and participated in many special championships, the remaining sixteen are only a few dozens of people. Compared with the huge group of competitive knights, it is a Very rare numbers.

Zofia led them to the entrance of the arena, and after showing their IDs, the arena specially sent someone to respectfully lead them in through a separate passage.

Naturally, they don't have to compete with ordinary spectators for the seats below. There are VIP boxes specially prepared for them in the arena. Through specially configured camera drones, they can see the arena clearly even if they are sitting in the high boxes. Every plant and tree on it.

"It's amazing, Auntie. I've never watched a game in a place like this." Maria fumbled around in the box excitedly. The only few times she had watched games, she sat down there. in the auditorium.

"Of course, no matter what I say, it was once the top sixteen. Ordinary people can't enjoy this kind of treatment." When she said these words, Zofia couldn't help but feel a little proud.

If there is any difference between watching the game here and watching the broadcast at home, it is probably that you can freely control the drone and watch the game from any angle you want.

Instead of staying in the chaotic auditorium, Adele didn't resist as much as she did at the beginning, and began to fiddle with the equipment provided in the box with some curiosity. These things were quite new to her.

Maria also came up very enthusiastically and explained to Adele how to control these things.

On the other side, Zofia was also looking at the list of contestants for this competition, and after a cursory glance, she said absent-mindedly, "Well, all the players participating in the competition are fourth- and fifth-level knights. , this game... is still something to watch."

For ordinary people, knights of the fourth and fifth levels are already masters that are not usually accessible, but for Zofia, knights of this level are not enough. Those knights she usually trains, just pick one All come out with this level of strength.

But Maria was very interested in it. When she and Adele looked through the competition process together, Adele saw a very familiar name.

"Brother Ren?" Adele couldn't help saying.

"Huh? Why, is there someone you know here?" Zofia glanced at her and asked.

"Hmm...Brother Ren is Sister Sarah's husband. I didn't expect to see him here." Adele pointed to Ren's information on the screen.

"Is that so?"

Although Zofia didn't come to Guang Manor many times because of Manna, she still had a little impression of Sarah. Now that she met her husband here, Zofia was somewhat curious.

It was marked on the list that Ren was a fifth-level knight, but when Zofia opened the detailed information, she was taken aback by the dense record displayed on it.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Hearing Zofia's exclamation, the other two also cast puzzled eyes.

"You two watch it for yourself." Zofia pushed the tablet in front of the two of them, "Since the start of the special championship, your brother Ryan has been participating in various competitions crazily, and there is one game every day on average. Aren't you afraid that your body will collapse?"

Cavaliers are originally a sport that consumes a lot of energy. Generally speaking, you will only participate in one game a week, and the rest of the time will be used to recuperate your body.

This frequency of once a day... no one can last for too long.

"After this competition is over, it's best to persuade your elder brother to stop messing around like this." Zofia said very seriously.

"...I know, but I think Brother Ren will definitely not listen to my advice."

Adele's expression darkened, and she also had some vague guesses about what Ren was doing during this time, and the truth she learned now did not exceed her expectations, "Sister Sarah and the others have encountered some difficulties, Ray Uncle En worked so hard because of this."

"Family...then I don't have anything to say, as long as you know it in your heart." Zofia sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

For the sake of the family... For the sake of the family, people who act for this kind of goal, it is impossible to stop just because of a few words, this kind of thing is very clear to Zofia.

Whether it's her, Manna, or Margaret who has left Casimir, they all belong to the same kind of people in this matter.

"Okay, let's talk about these things later, let's watch your elder brother's game now." Zofia changed the subject lightly.

This time the competition system is a regular group arena, there is nothing special about it, a total of 32 contestants choose their opponents by drawing lots, and finally decide the only winner.

The numbers drawn by Rennes were quite high, so they didn't have to wait long to see Rennes' game.

But the result was somewhat beyond Zofia's expectations. Relying on his physical advantage, Ren almost crushed his opponent, and his strength was not at all what a fifth-level knight should have... I really don't know him Why did you stay at level five for so long.

However, if there is such strength, there should be no suspense about the result of this game.

Just when Zofia was thinking this, a scream suddenly resounded throughout the arena, even Zofia who was sitting in the box could hear it clearly.

"What happened?" Zofia quickly turned the drone's vision and looked in the direction of the screams.

The screams came from the ring next door.

When the camera turned to that direction, what was displayed on the screen was a dazzling bright red blood.

Unwaking Dreams: Chapter 33 Reasons Why You Can't Give Up

"Uh, there seems to be a little accident in the third ring, and I want us to pause the game to see what happened there."

At this time, the commentator's voice also came out from the loudspeaker.

Through the dazzling blood, Zofia's face suddenly became extremely ugly after seeing the situation on the ring next door.

"Maria... and Aiyafala, you better not look at the situation in the third ring."

Many people in the auditorium outside also noticed the situation in the No. [-] arena. The entire arena was in an uproar at this time. There was no other reason. The scene that happened in the No. [-] arena was really cruel.

"Oh my god... Knight Byron actually tore off one of his opponent's thighs. How could he do such a cruel thing?" the commentator said incoherently.

No one expected this kind of thing to happen. With the development of knight sports, bloody and terrifying fighting methods have rarely appeared. The guts were flying all over the field.

And this knight named Byron obviously violated this unspoken rule.

Standing proudly on the ring, he casually threw the thigh in his hand aside, and glanced at the camera drone with great disdain.

"Sorry, the game needs to be temporarily suspended for a period of time. Someone has complained to the Cavaliers Association about Byron Knight's behavior, and the game needs to be approved by the association before the game can continue."

Although Maria and Adele followed Zofia's order and did not watch the situation in the third ring, they also knew what happened just now from the host's description.

Without making them wait too long, the narrator conveyed the news from the Knights Association.

"According to the judgment of the Cavaliers Association, Knight Byron's actions did not violate any rules, so...the game proceeded normally."

"How could this be?"

Neither Maria nor Adele could accept this result.

This announcement undoubtedly ruined the good impression of the knight competition in Maria's heart. She couldn't imagine that such a brutal thing would happen on the field, but Adele's worries were more realistic. There was such a cruel opponent in the game , wouldn't Brother Renn meet him sooner or later?

"Calm down, you two!"

Zofia's voice brought the two of them back to reality, and she glanced at her left hand before saying with complicated emotions, "The knight's opponent is not dead, as a result, he did not violate any rules, it's just... ...the means are somewhat unacceptable."

"Maria, let me tell you now, the knightly competition is such a bloody existence, don't think it is so good."

With the resumption of the game, the atmosphere of the entire arena has undergone subtle changes. Byron Knight's brutal behavior was like a pot of cold water poured on their heads. No matter how wonderful the knight's performance on the stage, the atmosphere could not recover It started so hot.

Soon it was the turn of Knight Byron to appear on the stage again. His opponent seemed not affected by the incident just now, and was still waving the weapon in his hand eagerly.

But courage was not enough to make up for the gap in strength between the two sides. After a few minutes of hide-and-seek offense and defense, Knight Byron caught his opponent from the ground like a chicken.

Under the helmet, Byron showed a cruel smile.

But this time, the price his opponent paid was two arms. As if he was squeezing mud, Byron squeezed the opponent's two arms into two balls of meat sauce bit by bit, and the creepy clicking sound was heard. The drone's microphone captured it and clearly transmitted it to the ears of every audience.

Even if he saved his life, the knight's two arms were completely useless. It is almost impossible to heal this kind of injury. Even if it can be cured, the price is not affordable for an ordinary knight.

Fear gradually emerged from everyone's heart, and gathered into a huge vortex above the arena, constantly stirring everyone's heart.

No one wanted to face such a terrifying opponent. The reason why these people became competitive knights was either for money or for fame, but no one came to the ring to lose their lives.

Not only the opponents that Byron will meet in the next two rounds, even the other players who are unlikely to meet him have chosen to abstain.

Giving up the game would at best lose some points, but if you were to face that monster, you would lose your life.

This 32-player group arena took less than a third of the usual time to reach the final.

Looking at the list of finalists, Adele suddenly became anxious, "Sister Zofia, can't you stop them?"

Zofia shook her head helplessly, "It's useless, if the knight himself doesn't abstain, we can't stop this game alone."

"But why didn't Brother Ryan abstain?"

"I think... it should be because he is unwilling to give up this opportunity." Zofia sighed, "I just checked his profile and found that his rating in the association is actually very low."

"He has stayed at the fifth level for too long, and even has a lot of records of intentional losses. Because of this, if he wants to advance now, he can only rely on winning streaks to increase his rating."

Originally, with Ren's strength, he was completely at the level of frying fish among the fifth-level knights. During this period of time, his winning streak came from the same way. I am afraid he did not expect that he would meet a Byron who also came to fry fish. .

"If he loses this time, at least within the time frame of the special championship, he will not have a second chance to advance."

They could only sit in the box and watch the two people step onto the ring.

-------------------------------------

"Long time no see, Ren, it seems that you are doing well."

Looking at his old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, Byron was not in a hurry, but greeted him very rarely.

"Byron... I couldn't find any news about you back then. I thought you were dead."

"Haha."

Byron laughed a few times in a very ugly voice, and said slowly, "I almost died. You can't imagine what I went through."

"Sorry, if I knew what happened, I would definitely help you."

"This has nothing to do with you." Byron gradually restrained his smile, and said extremely coldly, "That's the end of the small talk. For the sake of being a friend, I will give you a chance."

Clenching his fists, the sharp protrusions on Byron's gauntlet reflected bursts of cold light, "If you don't want to become like the first two guys, admit defeat, you can't be my opponent."

"This game...I won't admit defeat, I have reasons why I can't give up."

"...Is that so, what a pity, in this case I can only ask you to die."
