Chapter 1297: Chapter 881, Flame Martial Commander

A system prompt appeared, signaling the end of the first round of combat.

The expected outcome, yet still somewhat disappointing.

In fact, Alurag did quite well, and he actually had a chance to win.

His physical strength, poison resistance, and anti-interference were all impressive; if it were any other Dark Gold Hero, they probably wouldn’t have matched Alurag’s capabilities.

Even so, he was unable to defeat the Demigod.

The gap between Dark Gold and Demigod is indeed insurmountable.

Swoosh!

A light flashed, and Alurag’s figure reappeared in the stands.

The scars on his armor were restored to their original state, without a trace of injury remaining.

His subconscious defensive and offensive gestures showed his nerves were still highly tense.

Only when he clearly saw his surroundings did he realize that he had been defeated.

He took a deep breath, set his warhammer to the side, knelt on one knee, and said with a tone of disappointment, “My lord, I have failed.”

“It’s alright, you’ve done well. Take a rest, and leave the rest to Rolana,” Fang Hao consoled softly, then turned his attention to Rolana.

She nodded slightly and vanished in a flash of light, appearing directly on the battlefield.

…

The arena returned to normal.

The scarred ground became flat again, and a light breeze stirred up whirls of dust.

After all, this was a Task Space; after the first round ended, the arena was directly repaired.

Rolana appeared on the field, looking toward the other side.

The black-robed Demigod still stood there calmly, like a fixed wax figure.

However, his height remained diminutive like that of a Dwarf, and his wooden staff was gone after the battle, his hands empty.

It seems the battle mechanics carried on: new combat would not restore the heroes’ injuries.

This was similar to the combat games he had played before.

Otherwise, if injuries were also restored, there would be no need for a 3 vs 3.

This was a favorable point for Fang Hao’s side.

It proved that ‘Alurag’ had not fought in vain, causing some wear on the enemy’s condition.

Ding dong!

The clear sound of a bell chimed again.

Before the sound faded, both figures moved simultaneously.

Swoosh!

Poison was instantly shot in her direction.

With a flutter of her Bat Wings, Rolana soared into the air.

Boom!

The poison exploded in the distance, rolling up a cloud of dust and smoke.

Rolana fanned her Bat Wings, her Active Armor quickly encompassing her body, and with a flick of her finger, two Blood Spears materialized at her side.

Swoosh, swoosh!

The Blood Spears shot forth, targeting the ground below.

Along the way, they collided with the venom and explosions sounded.

The black-robed Demigod, unable to fly, moved as if wriggling, swiftly and repeatedly changing positions.

His chest heaved continuously, slinging poison like marbles at the sky.

Constant explosions created shockwaves, attempting to block her pathway.

Rolana, unruffled, used her advantage of Flight to outmaneuver the figure below, countering continuously with Blood Spear Moon Blades.

Now it was clear that Rolana, capable of flying, was much more composed than ‘Alurag’.

The exploding smoke obscured the sky.

Under the cover of smoke, strings of patterned venomous snakes shot into the heavens, attempting to pull the woman in the sky back to earth.

The Blood Clan’s vision was always far superior to that of common races.

As the snakes sprang up, her Longsword transformed into a series of sword glows.

One by one, snake heads plummeted from the sky, their bodies limply crashing onto the ground.

The black-robed Demigod kept moving, his head eerily turning backward.

With a forceful sweep of his hands.

Countless drops of venom were rapidly fired towards the sky…

The intensity was comparable to a pouring rainstorm.

Boom boom boom!!

The dense explosions covered the entire sky.

Rolana spread her Bat Wings, elevating her figure once more, evading the incoming droplets and the shockwaves from the explosions.

Twisting her palm, a mask with a Crimson Moon emblem on the forehead appeared in her hand.

She looked coldly at the figure below in the black robe.

And then placed it directly on her face.

When the mask fully adhered to her face.

Swoosh!

The sky was as if a curtain was drawn; a clear sky was instantly engulfed by darkness, and a Crimson Moon hung overhead.

This was the effect of the ‘Crimson Moon Visage,’ capable of forcibly changing the nearby area’s color of the sky.

The entire place was as dark as deep night, and below it was even darker.

Rolana’s speed increased further, navigating through the droplets like a phantom.

As the explosion cleared, Rolana once again stood in the air, with many Blood Spear Moon Blades gathering around her.

Her gaze locked onto the figure below, and with a flick of her finger.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!

Blood Spear Moon Blades, like swarms of swallows returning to their nest, flew down in formation.

Boom boom boom!

The crimson Magic, colliding with several venom streams, covered the black-robed Demigod.

Explosions from the Magic twisted the very space around them.

Whoosh crack!

The next second, the body of the black-robed figure burst open suddenly, and writhing worms began to scramble away in all directions.

This strike sent the black robe activating his escape skill.

Having watched the previous battle, Rolana was aware of this ability.

She dove downward, brandishing her Giant Sword in the air with a downward swing.

Hum whoo~

The heavy gravity field covered the area below in an instant.

Densely entangled ironworms began to twist and struggle, then were crushed by the gravitational force, like flattened caterpillars.

Rolana sheathed her giant sword, and the gravity field also instantly disappeared.

One would have thought the battle was over.

However, in the mud below, a small number of insects emerged again, reconstituting into a figure.

The newly reformed figure in the black cloak, however, was short and emaciated, resembling a malnourished freak infant.

Seeing her opponent resurrected, Rolana gripped her giant sword and charged once more.

The black-cloaked demigod fled in panic, with colorful poisonous snakes bursting from the ground behind him, attempting to stop the giant-winged woman’s assault.

Rolana moved with exceptional speed, closing the distance rapidly, then cleaved down with her sword from above.

Puff!

The black cloak’s figure instantly caved in, and countless poison worms transformed into a black net, aiming to capture Rolana from above.

Boom~

With a thunderous roar, before the poison net could close, it suddenly exploded.

The fragmented worms twisted and struggled on the ground, scrambling to escape once more.

This time, Rolana exchanged her giant sword for the demon ‘Hatred Tooth,’ slashing vigorously at the ground.

Whoosh-whoosh-ssss!!

With every sweep of the Hatred Tooth, flames spread throughout the battlefield, and swarms of insects twisted into a mass, struggling in death.

The insects on the ground were completely cleared.

Yet again, several ironworms burrowed out from the earth, coiling into the size of a black-cloaked person as big as a rat.

Pfft!

As soon as it took shape, Rolana extended her long leg and stepped directly on it.

Then she ground it ruthlessly under her foot.

[The battle is over, ‘The Beauty of the Lonely Night – Laurana Ann Tobias’ wins!]

…

The prompt signaling the end of the battle indicated that the opponent was truly dead.

This ‘Fallen body’ demigod had an impressively strong will to survive.

Being killed over and over again, he could still come back to life.

His body seemed to be made up of insects, and as long as the insects were not completely destroyed, he would not truly die.

Luckily this was an arena, constrained by boundaries and rules.

Outside of this space, controlling a few insects underground and avoiding emergence, it would indeed be very difficult to kill him for good.

Although these insects are quite disgusting, this ability is not bad at all.

At least, its survivability is much stronger than most heroes’.

“Not bad!” The Dragon Queen quietly praised.

“En, as long as we continue to fight well, we can achieve the final victory,” Fang Hao also said in a soft voice.

Rolana had made good use of her Flight advantage and had hardly been injured.

Moreover, both the ‘Flame Dragon Scale Armor’ and ‘Scarlet Mask’ provided good recovery effects, and the Magic Power consumption wasn’t significant.

Thus, both parties were back to being on an equal footing in terms of strength.

It all depended on the outcome of the subsequent battles.

“En, not difficult…” The Dragon Queen spoke with her usual calm tone.

She still seemed to have confidence in herself.

…

Their gazes returned to the arena.

A beam of light covered the battlefield, little by little restoring it to its original state.

Once the battlefield was repaired, a light flickered, and the tall figure of a giant had already stood in the arena.

Ten meters tall with a robust and muscular build.

Rolana stood on the opposite side, looking up as if gazing at a majestic mountain.

The Flame Martial Commander, a Giant Clan fire element demigod, had flaming crimson hair on the top of his head.

Carrying a huge war hammer in his hand, it was not the black-armored sisters’ spiked hammer but a heavy war hammer with round heads on both sides.

Impressively majestic!

Without discussing who was stronger or weaker, just standing there would make anyone believe he was a deity, such was his imposing aura.

Ding-dong!

The crisp ring of a bell sounded again.

The battle began.

Both parties moved simultaneously.

Rolana unfolded her bat wings, immediately feeling the intense heat overhead, as two huge fire pythons descended upon her.

Quickly retreating, she widened the distance.

Boom~ The two fire pythons intertwined as they fell, instantly exploding into flames.

This scene even made Fang Hao in the stands widen his eyes.

The ‘Flame Martial Commander’ had directly released two fire snakes, blocking Rolana’s attempt to take to the sky.

This led him to an unsettling guess.

His opponent, having watched the previous battle, had analyzed that Rolana’s first move would be to fly up.

Meaning, the heroes on the other side were not just stiff, system-spawned AI.

They also watched battles and analyzed their enemy’s skills and moves.

My goodness, this arena is getting more challenging!

Boom~

A stone wall rose abruptly from the ground, blocking the incoming Giant hammer.

The stone wall shattered upon impact, stirring up clouds of dust.

The Giant hammer spun back into the Fire Giant’s hand, who casually deflected incoming crimson longspears with a swing.

With her bat wings unfurled, Rolana took the opportunity to ascend swiftly into the sky.

The Fire Giant reached out a hand, reconstituting several fire pythons for pursuit.

Simultaneously, he stomped powerfully on the ground, reducing his height in preparation to charge.

With every step that thundered against the ground, flames rose and persisted in the area he had traversed.

Rolana concentrated her blood energy and shattered the fire snakes.

Launching a volley of Blood Spears, she threw them decisively.

The Fire Giant shielded his head with one arm, undeterred by the bombardment of magic, he kept closing in at high speed.

Reaching proximity, he pushed off with a stomp and rocketed upwards with a thunderous roar.

Swinging the massive war hammer in his hand with force.
