Arthur moved up without hesitation while everyone on his team was feeling dazed and amazed. "Are you going up there?" Amelia hurriedly shouted at him while he only raised one finger high in the air.
He wasn't suicidal, in fact he was extremely excited about such a challenge. "I wonder how people up there train," he muttered while he climbed the stairs in a calm manner.
He had in his mind a plan formulated. "They have already tested my arrows and my pill. I wonder if they intend to rival with me on these two or they will just ditch them aside."
In his opinion they might aim towards having the individual and group fight to be their win and leave him with two wins at alchemy and forging. That would leave only special abilities and arrays hanging as neutral zones.
"I believe it's time for me to use my special array formation," he smirked while stepping in the arena, "but as for the special ability… I think I should show more if needed."
He didn't mind losing one or two encounters but won the entire contest. He had already shown the fast steps ability and he still had the higher remote control ability of his.
"I have to admit…" the moment he went up into the arena, one of the five lycans sneered as he added, "you are courageous, foolish and courageous. I like that so I won't make you feel much pain before dying."
He laughed and the other four around him laughed as well. Arthur was about to speak back but the golden dragon suddenly said: 'They are dangerous, especially this arrogant one.'
Arthur swallowed what he wanted to say before muttering: 'Explain further.'
'This one has energy almost double yours and with quality that rivals your blue dragonair's energy. He isn't just a lycan, he is also a special lycan just like you.'
'A variation?' Arthur thought before asking, 'have you seen such variation before?'
'To be honest lycans were considered lowly being when we were in power,' the golden dragon cleared his throat first before answering his question.
'You don't know, right?' Gege laughed before adding, 'Don't worry yourself, just take him inside and I'll properly handle him.'
'You vulgar lady, it's not that easy to take anyone off their will inside your body,' the golden dragon sneered.
'What did you just call me?'
"Shut up!" Arthur suddenly shouted in extreme anger and his shout just attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh, you are also a moron, that's amusing," the youth said with a laugh, "anyway let's get this done through. I hate being in the open for so long."
Arthur completely ignored him while shouting at those inside his mind: 'If you don't help then don't make things worse for me!'
'…'
'…'
'…'
The three remained silent and no one spoke to him until the lead master said:
"This is a special form of the contest, so to be fair it will be held one versus one. The other team will choose only one representative for each theme of the contest. The themes will be like the normal contest. Please begin."
Arthur waited as he knew this useless talk about being fair is nothing but a show to keep their faces no more. He crossed his arms while watching one of the lycans moving towards him.
All of the five were giants to him, but this one here was the tallest of all. He had bulging muscles and strong physique, something worthy of a blacksmith.
"My name is Doron, and I'll be the one teaching you how to forge."
Arthur sensed his confidence while he kept his silence. "The best thing I made was that sword, should I make another one?" he thought to himself while contemplating what he would do.
As for Doron, he just took out his tools and started to forge like he was doing breakfast.
"Just a reminder," the lead master suddenly said while he noticed Arthur wasn't moving a finger for an entire hour, "each theme has a time limit of six hours. So don't waste your time."
"What if I wanted more?" Arthur suddenly asked, and the lead master was about to refuse when Doron suddenly spoke:
"Allow him, I don't want him to say I wasn't fair when I crushed him."
The lead master didn't hurry to confirm as he moved his eyes towards the leader of the lycan team who simply nodded, then he glanced at his dean who also nodded. "Alright, you got your wish. Let's see what you will do."
"Hahahaha, I'll do something that will make you all run after me to buy it," Arthur laughed all of sudden like a maniac while everyone around was feeling weird towards his sudden behavior.
Yet the next instant he didn't take out his forging items, but his cauldron.
"Oh my mighty lycan, he is retarded," the leader of the lycans laughed while pointing towards him, but Arthur didn't care.
What he did next was something totally odd. He took out fiery ore and then filled the entire cauldron with the purified blood of the Golam's lake before he cut his wrist and left a few drops of his blood fell over the fluid.
"Willy boy, this is a forging contest. Alchemy contest is next," the lead master couldn't help himself to call upon him and the next moment many laughed including the audience down below.
But Arthur simply gave him a glance before he took out his sword and then muttered: "Bring them forth."
The next moment an entire legion of huge monsters appeared to fill the entire arena. Their sudden appearance startled everyone, but the next thing Arthur did made them all more puzzled.
He took his sword, and started killing all the monsters around without any pause.
'Keep me updated with time,' he simply muttered to his system.
'Ding! Five minutes remained from the first killed batch. You need to hurry and process them fast.'
'I said keep me posted with time, not to warn me to do what's obvious,' Arthur was already extremely focused on the task, 'just alarm me every thirty seconds and keep track of those I killed earlier than the rest.'
'Ding! As you wish.'
