After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Kam's heart skipped a beat.

What was up with Lin Da's expression?

Kam faintly felt a hint of unease.

But he clenched his teeth and chose to trust the long sword in his hands, "Dream of Slumber."

It was a superior orange weapon.

A Star Rank gift prepared by Hulus for him.

"Die!"

Kam's eyes turned blood-red as the "Dream of Slumber," ablaze with Black Flame, slashed down.

Those in the audience who were faint of heart instinctively shut their eyes.

—— Clang!

What everyone heard, however, was the sound of the longsword chopping on the hard rock.

The blade recoiled.

A powerful recoil turned Kam's face pale, and his hands went numb, losing sensation for a moment.

He stared at Lin Da incredulously.

As the black flame longsword came within one centimeter of Lin Da's neck, a verdant green light shield lit up.

Firmly blocking the attack.

Then came a crisp shattering sound.

This marked Kam's greatest accomplishment.

He broke Lin Da's shield with one move.

A Star Rank, after all, still had its attack power.

But no one knew that beneath the shield, Lin Da had a staggering 12,800 hit points.

The outcome of this battle had been set from the moment Kam stepped onto the arena.

Lin Da knew everything about Kam.

Unless Kam was a witch, even considering Kam's strength at the top of level 30 Star Rank, he couldn't kill him in one blow.

The tactic Lin Da devised was to exploit the stiffness after Kam's all-out attack.

The more force Kam used in his swing, the larger the recovery delay from his follow-through would be.

This set of gaming theory applied just as well in reality.

Lin Da lured Kam step by step into the trap with his superb acting skills.

Next, it was his turn.

"Death Crab Pincer."

Lin Da muttered to himself.

The skill granted by the equipment resonated with the magic circuit within him.

The original white circuit turned red, matching the Red Armored Crab King.

A semi-transparent phantom of the magical creature emerged behind Lin Da.

It was distinctly a downsized Red Armored Crab King, two meters tall with a five-meter wingspan!

As the magical creature phantom appeared, Kam immediately felt a chill over his head.

"Not good," Rhode's expression changed as he recognized Lin Da's skill.

Death Crab Pincer ignored defenses and dealt true damage to an adventurer's life barrier.

Even if Lin Da's attack was low, having the Death Crab Pincer skill still posed a threat to Kam.

The thoughts of the crowd flashed momentarily.

On the arena.

The crimson crab pincers slashed horizontally forward.

A soul-chilling burst of cold light shone.

Kam's sword-wielding right hand flew into the air.

At the site of the wound, broken bones and muscle fibers could be seen.

Blood spurted out, adding a touch of murderous aura to the arena.

Kam stared blankly at his severed arm, his expression frozen.

Pain shot through his brain, yet it failed to pull Kam back to reality.

Wait, what happened?

Where is my hand?

Kam was a bit dazed, as if he were in a dream.

He tried to control his right hand to wield the sword and continue attacking Lin Da.

But no matter how his brain issued the command, he could not find the presence of his right hand.

The old buddy who had been with Kam for decades was suddenly gone.

That sense of discord kept Kam out of his senses for a long while.

"Venom Magic Sphere, Dark Whip, Venom Eruption!"

Lin Da would not wait for Kam to adjust his mentality.

While Kam was spacing out, he chanted a spell, unleashing all his attack skills at once.

"Ahhhh!"

Kam was hit by all of it, screaming in pain.

The Life Barrier fluctuated violently, and the Venom Magic Sphere corroded it, emitting wisps of white smoke.

Every inch of the barrier was connected to the core of his spiritual world, more connected than fingertips to a heart.

Kam rolled on the ground in agony, his face streaming with tears and mucus, covered in dust.

Everyone was stunned.

Strong endurance is an essential quality of an excellent adventurer. How could Kam, placed in his situation, perform worse than a third-rate adventurer of a wild team?

At that moment, Rhode's face completely darkened. How could that cruel and cunning Hulus have such a useless brother?

It was unimaginable how much resources Hulus had invested in Kam to push him to Star Rank!

Jite's thick leopard tail swayed back and forth, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself, "No wonder Gale agreed, the thickness of this shield is unbelievable..."

In fact, that afternoon, Lin Da and Gale had tested it.

Verdant Shield could withstand the skills of the 34th level Gale.

That was why Gale had agreed to Lin Da's plan.

"Venom Magic Sphere."

On the arena, Lin Da kicked a man while he was down, waving his hand to release two deep purple magic spheres.

Kam jumped up frantically, dodging in severe pain.

After all, as a Star-ranked adventurer, his speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

However, what happened next dumbfounded everyone.

Kam accidentally stepped on his right hand that had fallen to the ground.

As a result, he tripped over his own hand and fell flat on his face, hitting his forehead hard on the ground.

Next, Lin Da's two Venom Magic Spheres hit Kam squarely on the buttocks.

"Ahhhhhh!"

A scream, unbearable to hear as if a pig was being slaughtered, erupted in the arena.

A reporter, quite inappropriately, laughed out loud.

Despite the tragic scene.

But Kam was tripped up by his own hand that had fallen on the ground.

"Now I can scratch that itch on my back," Kami murmured.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here!!!"

"Big brother save me!"
Experience new tales on empire

Kam looked at Lin Da in panic.

On Lin Da, the green shell was put back on.

A full-force strike with Kam's right hand was needed to break through Lin Da's defense.

Now, the right hand was gone.

No chance of fighting back!

The battle was decisively concluded!

Lin Da heaved a sigh of regret, "Mr. Kam, I am sorry. I cannot forgive you; you and your brother both wanted to put me to death. If I let you go, wouldn't I be crossing myself?"

"Upon entering the arena, as brave adventurers, we signed a Life and Death Contract. I hope you can maintain the honorable side of an adventurer and die with a smile."

"No, I surrender..." Kam, grasping at straws, remembered that surrender was allowed in the arena.

Only it was too embarrassing. Many adventurers would rather fight until the last moment than to surrender humiliatingly.

Seeing Kam preparing to surrender, Lin Da quickly released the Dark Whip.

Whoosh.

The Dark Whip and a shadow below the stage charged towards Kam simultaneously.

"Dare!"

The shadow's hand lit up, revealing a huge double-bladed axe.

This man had dark red hair, a scar-covered face, and bulging muscles on his arms, appearing to be about thirty years old.

With a swing of his axe, he chopped Lin Da's Dark Whip!

This strong man, named Nacho, a 33rd-level Berserker, had been previously schemed against by Hulus and signed into a slave contract.

If Kam were to die, Nacho would undoubtedly be held accountable, tormented to a fate worse than death.

Even if it meant breaking the rules of the arena, Nacho had to save Kam!

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.

Nacho's eyes gleamed coldly, his Dark Series Battle Qi gathering on the double-bladed axe, like a beast ready to pounce on its target.
