"Oh?" The hiding devil couldn't help but mutter in surprise, "You're so confident, I can see that. Do you really think that perhaps you stand a chance against me?"
"Why, are you scared?" Jin Rou smirked and asked. He was clearly provoking the enemy hiding.
"Haha, scared?" The devil couldn't help but laugh, "Do you really think that it is possible that I'll be scared of just a kid like you?"
The devil found it funny. He had been living for so long now yet a youth asked it if it was afraid. Of course, it also knew that Jin Rou was deliberately doing this to provoke him.
"Well, then. Why don't we start now?" Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders, "I'll make sure that you all will regret attacking us."
"Talk when you really have the chance, will you?" The devil laughed once again and activated its grand dao.
"Rumble!" Soon, the whole place shook and everything turned into a blinding white.
After which, the whole place turned into a giant arena that could home a million of people. The said arena was giving off a dangerous vibe that could threaten the whole world.
And Jin Rou and Syni Su were in the middle of it.
"This..." Syni Su couldn't help but hold her breath for a moment and spat it. Even at her level, the aura of this place was suffocating. Perhaps, it was because of the strong stench of blood in the place. She wanted to puke. However, she tried not to as she didn't want Jin Rou to see her as a burden.
"..." Jin Rou didn't comment on this, but his brows were creased. He was calmly observing the whole arena as if he was memorizing every bit of it.
Besides that, his instincts was ringing alarm bells that hadn't rang for so long.
"Welcome to my beloved place, the Devil's Judgment Arena!" The lurking devil finally showed itself and sat at the throne room, opposite of Jin Rou's position. The devil was jet-black like they used to be. However, a noticeable factor was that it had three horns.
Those he fought in the previous worlds only had two. But this one had three. It meant that this devil was stronger.
Jin Rou looked up and down to find if there would be hidden holes around. However, to his surprise, there wasn't as if this arena was perfectly made.
"Are you looking for an exit?" The devil, who had already sat down to his throne smirked, "There is none, unfortunately. I built this place using my grand dao."
"…" Jin Rou looked up again at the throne room. He didn't expect that the devil could see through him that easily.
"This is the place where you will die, Celestial King." The devil revealed a more sinister smile that reached its long and sharp ears, "Along with that Su Family's princess, of course."
"You blabber here and blabber that. Is that all you can do?" Jin Rou tried to provoke the devil once again. Since the situation was irreconcilable from the very start, he would try his best to infuriate the other party to increase their chances of winning.
"..." The face of the devil stiffened. Then, it released a powerful amount of killing intent and spoke in a very cold tone, "It seems that you aren't yet aware of your situation. Very well, I'll let you experience it immediately. Argos!"
"Boom!" Then, a large brown bear appeared out of the arena. It was big as it was triple the height of Jin Rou.
This beast was named Argos, and the devil had kept it as one of its pets.
"Argos, if you kill that two, you will be granted by an extravagant me later." The devil spoke to the brown bear, "But if you fail to do so, then death is waiting for you."
"Graah!" The bear seemed to understood the words and it immediately crawled towards Jin Rou with the ground shaking.
"Syni, step back." Jin Rou flickered his fingers and twin swords made of lightning appeared.
Syni Su immediately retreated a few steps where she could give support to Jin Rou.
"Crash! Clang!" The bear lifted its two paws to charge momentum and brought them down in a blink of an eye. Jin Rou received the enemy's attack with his dual swords swinging against it.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Then, a series of clanging sounds reverberated in the entire place. It shook the whole arena as the bear and the man exchanged blows.
"Open!" Syni Su knew her thing. She immediately gave support aura to Jin Rou which boosted Jin Rou's strength by 10% and his speed by 15%.
"Hmm!" After five seconds, Jin Rou saw an opening against the bear and immediately seized the opportunity to deal a critical blow.
"!!" The bear had seemed to felt this and wanted to step back. However, it felt that its body was very heavy and couldn't move.
It was because of Syni Su's system. When a certain target was buffed, the enemy would be debuffed automatically. It was a wonderful skill that only her was capable of learning in their family.
Of course, it wasn't the best.
"Slash!" Jin Rou didn't hesitate and slashes the bear from up to down. It wasn't a critical blow, it was a sure-fire kill that Jin Rou used.
"Prsh!" Dark blood immediately poured down the arena as the bear's blood splashed in all directions. Next, the bear was torn into half and laid there lifeless.
"Oh?" Although the devil was just testing Jin Rou's capability by using its pet, it didn't anticipate that Jin Rou could surpass its calculations, 'The emperor has planned this very wise. This is indeed the best course of action.'
The devil looked at Jin Rou who was standing still there while looking at it with deathly glare.
"Is that all?" Jin Rou asked when their eyes met.
"We are just beginning." The devil leaned its chin on its hand and said, "Don't worry, our clan has prepared enough just for you, Celestial King."
