Chapter 84 - Each Generation Is Worse Than The Last!
Chapter 84: Each Generation Is Worse Than The Last!
Following Alva’s howl, the two Battle Beasts that had already collapsed onto the ground started to transform.
The sound of machinery rumbled.
In less than ten seconds, a robot made up of tanks and helicopter machinery appeared in front of everyone.
The legs of the robot were replaced by the lower half of the tank.
Its hands were composed of two cannon barrels, one huge, and one small.
“Your toy is pretty neat…” No one knew whether Locke’s admiration was sincere or sarcastic, but Alva was enrage all the same.
The caterpillar tracks under the robot activated, and it raised both of its hands. One hand fired missiles, while the other one unleashed machine-gun-like fire.
Compared to before, the speed and shooting accuracy of the fused Battle Beast had improved. Tristan and the others tensed up.
However, Locke was unfazed. All the projectiles that were fired had been blocked by the Infinite Fire Element’s shield!
“Crush him!!”
Alva could already feel the doubtful gazes of the nobles behind him. As such, he wanted to use his strongest attack to end the duel as soon as possible!
“Boom… !”
The Battle Beast’s caterpillar tracks began to rotate once more, and this time, it seemed to have accumulated even more power. Once again, the robot unleashed the orange glow of an epic rank beast!
“Locke! He’s using a fusion skill! You must evade it…” Tristan had studied the White family’s fusion ability for a very long time. As such, he was certain that this was Alva’s strongest attack!
However, before he could finish his sentence, Alva’s Battle Beast was already charging forward!
Not only that, flames were ignited wherever it passed!
As the Battle Beast advanced, the dueling platform gradually became a battlefield shrouded in flames!
For as long as he can remember, his fusion skill “Blazing Charge” had never failed him before. Moreover, all the opponents who had seen the move were no longer alive to tell the tale!
As such, Alva waited for his victory with his hands crossed!
However, Locke had also finished charging his Hurricane Piercer.
It was now his go-to-skill to deal with opponents who charged headlong at him!
The audience members subconsciously stood up to watch the scene unfold.
Boom!!
Anticipating a powerful clash of magic power, the audience members covered their ears with their hands.
Once the smoke dispersed, Alva’s Battle Beast was already in pieces. He was no longer able to fight.
Due to his positioning earlier, Hurricane Piercer had struck him, and he was flung down the platform while vomiting blood.
“Oh my God!”
“We won!”
“We really won!!”
“This young man is amazing!”
Although the commoners’ vocabulary was limited, they were still able to convey their excitement through simple words!
The cheers and whistles of the Diamond Class students were also ear-piercing!
“Locke! You are my idol…”
“Well done!”
“I am willing to call you the strongest person in the history of the Diamond Class…”
“Not bad, the old man really has an eye for talent…” Jacques could finally relax and smoke his cigarette.
Tristan took a deep breath and said to John beside him, “The kid really scared me half-to-death earlier when he stood still…”
Through the battle, Tristan had finally realized that Locke’s strength was above his. However, he was still happy at the outcome.
The reputation of the academy was what he cared about the most.
At this moment, all the students in the academy were also watching the “live broadcast” of the battle via Diana’s Global Sentinels.
Locke’s victory had made the students erupt with excitement. Meanwhile, Diana had only smiled and adjusted her glasses at Locke’s results.
“Let’s take a 15-minute break!” The chief judge felt that the White family was in a bad spot. As such, he paused the duel and ordered medical staff to tend to Alva.
“Hmph! The White family is really getting worse with each generation…”
“It seems that we have to reconsider our partnership…”
“Since Alva lost, Moto who looks like he has terminal cancer probably wouldn’t be a match for Locke either..”
“Since everyone is here, let’s have a meeting. We need to consider the White family…”
The nobles’ reaction were very normal.
As the future head of the White family, Alva had suffered a disgraceful loss to a student!
Such a stain was hard to accept for the nobles who valued fame and glory. However, they did not consider Locke’s strength at all.
“Uh…” After the medical staff’s desperate rescue, Alva was temporarily saved, but he was very weak and had lost the ability to move.
Once he was carried to the preparation area, he told Moto, “Kill this kid, Moto. We must retain the support of the other nobles for our family…”
Moto’s smile was very scary. He looked at the half-dead Alva and said, “My poor silly brother… Don’t worry about such trivial matters. I’ve already discussed the matter with father.”
Alva did not understand what Moto was saying. He was about to probe further, but he noticed something unusual from the corner of his eye.
The nobles were already packing up to leave.
They were no longer interested in the duel.
However, the moment they got up, they realized that a crimson liquid was stuck to their shoes!
“What’s going on? Is it blood? Is someone injured?”
Before a nobleman could get a response to his question, a few people on the other side started to wail.
“AH… !”
Upon closer inspection, a few gray bats with sharp teeth were sucking blood from the noblemen’s necks!
“What’s going on? ! Someone! Judges! Someone is injured here…”
However, before he had finished his sentence, he turned around and saw some bats lying in ambush behind him. Their eyes were glowing blue, and they looked as if they were excited to find new prey.
“Ah! !”
“Help!”
The sudden situation surprised everyone present!
These bats were attacking in a uniform and orderly manner. It was clear that someone was controlling them!
They were Battle Beasts!
Just as they were looking for the Master of the bats, Alva, who was lying on the stretcher, had already reacted!
He looked at his younger brother Moto and said, “Are you crazy? They are…”
Before he could finish his words, Moto placed a finger in front of his mouth and made a “shush” gesture.
“This was decided after discussing with father. He knows that you value the friendship between nobles, so he asked me to do it. We don’t need competitors in the Holy City… And most of them are here. If we don’t do it now, it would be a waste of an opportunity…”
