Chapter 839: Chapter 647: Aftermath
Everything was under control.
Long Yi had known for some time that he would be facing Jenna.
In the Arena, money could achieve many things, even last-minute substitutions were no problem, and that’s what Jenna had done. However, Jenna didn’t realize that her decision was promptly reported to Long Yi. That was one of the rules of the Arena—we occasionally forge some surprises, but as the other party, he had the right to decline them.
But in the end, Long Yi had agreed.
That was why Long Yi always appeared calm and composed because he had known all along!
The dark golden lightning emerged once again, and the Gluttonous Snake eagerly claimed the Power of Rules that had belonged to Jenna for itself. Jenna was horrified to discover that her Neglecter talent had completely disappeared! And this was just the beginning! Following that, the Gluttonous Snake destroyed the Rejuvenation spell that had been cast on Jenna all along. Rejuvenation was a magic spell invented by Jenna, leveraging a portion of the Power of Rules. And the Gluttonous Snake would never let any Rule pass by.
In the blink of an eye, the Gluttonous Snake vanished, and in Long Yi’s hands was no longer a young woman, but a frail old crone!
Long Yi released his grip, and the Fighting Aura spear that had pinned Jenna’s leg also disappeared, leaving Jenna collapsed on the ground. She tried to restart the Rejuvenation spell, but each time she barely recovered her youth, the Gluttonous Snake would appear and swallow the magic, aging her once again. After several repetitions, the Rejuvenation spell completely lost its effect!
"You... what have you done..." Jenna croaked.
"I haven’t done much, just allowing you to face yourself," Long Yi said with a smile.
"Face myself? Let everyone see my old age? See my ugly appearance? No! It’s you who should be facing yourself!"
Jenna suddenly raised her hand, reversing the Rejuvenation spell and deploying her strongest three centuries.
"Let’s see how aged you will be after three hundred years!"
The magic succeeded, yet Long Yi stood there, still smiling.
"Unfortunately, either I don’t look much different three hundred years later, or your spell has failed," Long Yi said, shrugging. Of course, the spell had succeeded, as Long Yi hadn’t defended against it. But considering the lifespan of Giants, which Long Yi had glanced at and been shocked by the string of zeros. In the beginning, God created the Giants with life spans similar to the Dragon Clan, around two thousand years. But after the descent of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Giants found a way to adjust their own lifespans. And then, the Giants’ lengthy lives commenced.
Therefore, magic that could prematurely age was ineffective on Ai Lin, and even more so on Long Yi.
"What! You’re all the same! You and that little girl Ai Lin!" Jenna, the old woman, railed.
"Ai Lin?" Long Yi frowned slightly, "Who’s that?"
Had she met Ai Lin? And even fought with her? But Long Yi would definitely not admit to knowing Ai Lin in front of her.
Actually, Long Yi had originally intended to let Jenna go, as he felt his involvement with this world was somewhat minimal. By cultivating an enemy, he thought he might find some enemies of his enemies to stand with him.
But now that Jenna had mentioned Ai Lin, it was clear that he could no longer afford to let her go. After all, she was a Sanctuary Mage with considerable strength and connections. Keeping her alive would undoubtedly bring trouble to Ai Lin.
But since that was the case, why not leave the trouble to himself?
"So, Mage Jenna, do you have any last words?"
Long Yi clasped Jenna’s neck with one hand, lifting her slowly before holding her high above his head. Jenna desperately grabbed at Long Yi’s fingers, trying to pry them open a bit so she could breathe.
"If you kill me, all the magic I’ve cast will fail... You’re making enemies with all the old Mages who have received my magic... They will all find you, kill you... torture you incessantly... ugh..."
Jenna hadn’t finished speaking when her neck was snapped.
"One could hardly imagine, your last words were even less entertaining than I thought. It’s my first time seeing someone who can still make threats while their neck is being choked. I don’t think that’s a particularly smart move," Long Yi said, curling his lip.
Then, he threw Jenna’s body to the side with a heavy thud, and Little Zi confirmed that she was indeed dead.
At that moment, the entire arena fell silent, the three commentators frozen in shock.
Jenna was well-known, a Mage of such repute killed by Long Yi in what seemed like an incredibly easy manner. It was somewhat incredible, and more importantly, Jenna was a Sanctuary Mage! Traditionally, when people spoke of Sanctuary Mages, it was with respect and envy, for it represented the pinnacle of a Mage’s power!
Yet Long Yi killed Jenna with an ease that made the task look trivial!
Well, everyone knew Jenna wasn’t known for combat, but she was still a Sanctuary Mage!
"This... really is..." The usually articulate commentators were still searching for the right words. Just then, a note from the boss came over, and after a glance, they immediately found their voice.
"What a spectacular match! The great Gladiator Long Yi, even in the face of treachery and sneak attacks, still defeated his enemy! Even a Sanctuary Mage was no match for him! So who else can stand before Long Yi? Who else can stop his march forward? Could Long Yi truly be aiming to become the king of the Stellar Realm Arena!"
