Chapter 741 - END OF 2ND ROUND
WINGED Tassel was now starting to panic. Because this was what he felt when he purposely let Noctis slash at his arm earlier. It didn't last a second because of the item he had that negated the debuff. But he could still remember that momentary sensation. And now that he's experiencing it again, it could only mean one thing – he was once again hit by those damn daggers!
But how? Could it be that while he attacked Noctis, the other also attacked him? But could he really have that time to do that? Then, he suddenly remembered that moment when the shadow cage suddenly disappeared. He experienced momentary confusion. Could it be possible that in that millisecond, Noctis managed to slash him?
Before his doubts could be answered, he heard footsteps from behind. He wanted to look back. But because the current state of his body, he couldn't. He didn't have to wait long though before he saw the white-haired elf standing before him with that annoyingly sweet smile on his face.
Noctis didn't speak and just stabbed his heart. His eyes widened, his pupils shaking in shock. But as if that wasn't enough, the other quickly followed that up by stabbing his throat. Then he twisted both daggers as if he wasn't still satisfied. And he was doing all that vicious action while smiling like an angel.
Winged Tassel could already see his body already turning into light particles.
"I know you're after the gem on my pet's forehead," the other suddenly said. "Let me just warn you. If you ever try to put your grubby hands on my pet, I'll make you regret it. And oh boy, the things I could do to you."
Winged Tassel shivered involuntarily. If his avatar could sweat, then, cold sweat would be dripping on his back right about now. This bastard was just that creepy.
When half of his body had already turned to light particles, the other added in a cheerful tone;
"By the way, if you weren't in such a hurry, if you just waited about a minute more, you could have regained the use of your wings. Then who knows how this fight would have ended. Too bad, huh?"
Winged Tassel felt his chest congested. That virtual blood pressure of him had never been higher. If someone could annoy a person to death, then this white-haired bastard could do it effortlessly.
That's his last thought before completely turning to light particles.
Luo Yan finally put his daggers away. As he did, he suddenly heard the loud cheer of the crowd. It was so loud that he felt like it could easily shatter one's eardrum. This was a complete opposite of their reaction during the last match. Luo Yan could guess why though.
Many people bet on Dragnar and yet he lost. As the second person with the most bets, of course, Luo Yan's win was a cause for celebration for these people.
Since he was in a fairly good mood, he raised his head and give them a bright smile. He was sure that his pretty would be reflected on the virtual screen floating above. As he expected, the cheer became even louder.
"Noctis!!! You're the best!!!"
"Noctis, please marry me!!!"
"Wooooooo!!! Noctis!!!"
Luo Yan then turned to the direction of team Yunyue's royal box. He raised his hand and waved happily, showing how happy he was that he won. The crowd on that part cheered even louder. Although Luo Yan couldn't see the reaction of his teammates and family, but he knew they were definitely happy for him.
What our fox in rabbit's clothing didn't know was that the people in Yunyue's royal box were feeling very complicated right now. It's because throughout the fight, Luo Yan had this expression on his face as if he was deliberately annoying his opponent. Although he was smiling, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his smile wasn't full of goodwill. Not to mention the way he finished off his opponent.
It was… a bit violent? They couldn't hear what the two were saying, but based on the expression of that Winged Tassel, who looked like a couple of veins on his forehead would pop at any second, it was probably not anything good.
The only ones who probably didn't feel any different were Su Yuqi and Shen Ji Yun. The former simply thought that it was something normal while the latter was simply being a huge fanboy. Thinking how amazing and cool his rabbit was.
"That," Luo Wei Tian cleared his throat. "Xiao Yan did amazing."
Although his reaction was completely different from when Luo Jin won, he was no less happy for his second son's win. It's just that, Luo Yan's expression when he stabbed his opponent still lingered a bit in his mind.
"Y-yes! Yan Yan is amazing!" Yu Jiao quickly followed, worried that no one would agree. She had seen Luo Yan like this a few times, so it wasn't really that much of a shock to her. But she didn't know if it was the same for others. She didn't want them to think that her friend was weird or anything like that. So, she said right after, "That- that Winged Tassel must have done something wrong to make Yan Yan angry! Yan Yan wouldn't punish him otherwise."
She then turned to Luo Ren, not noticing that her eyes were asking 'please, agree with me!'.
This made Luo Ren want to smile. He put the back of his hand over his mouth, so the other wouldn't see the slight curve of his lips. He found it cute how the other was trying her best to defend Luo Yan. Though there wasn't really anything to defend. The affection they all feel for his brother wouldn't diminish just because of the other's 'dark side'. Still, he found Yu Jiao's action very cute.
Just like his father, he cleared his throat and composed his expression before saying;
"Yes, I think so too."
