The Mysterious Man In Black And Dark Magic!

In the arena at the north of the city.

The long history of mankind had long eliminated the bloody colosseum.

But combat was still one of the entertainment methods that humans revered.

Civilization had put on an outer coat on the bloodiness and called it pulling punches.

Right now, the news of the duel between the Leon Clan and the Kerr Clan had already spread throughout the city.

Even the commoners from the outer city had come to watch it.

After all, their only chance to enter the inner city was to watch others fight in the arena.

Therefore, the arena was already filled with people right now.

The people from all the clans naturally wouldn't miss out on such a good show.

Everyone wanted to see what price the Kerr Family would pay for opposing the Leon Family.

No one believed that the Leon Family would lose.

If they had to give a reason, then it was because that was the Leon Clan.

This name was enough to explain everything.

The people from both the Leon and Kerr families stood still in the battle preparation area on both sides of the stage.

In terms of numbers, the two clans' battle strength was already very disparate.

There were at least 20 people standing on the Leon Family's side.

And all of them were extremely powerful experts.

On the other hand, the Kerr family only had three to five people.

The Leon Family was going to win this match in anyone's eyes.

Many family heads were already lamenting that the new head of the Kerr Clan was indeed too young and impulsive.

Wasn't this kind of competition equivalent to a suicide mission?

***

An old man wearing a red robe with a black cross on it slowly walked up to the arena.

This person wasn't an ordinary host. He was a cardinal from the church.

There were three factions of power in Storm City.

Apart from the royal family and the major families, the church was next.

They did not belong to any power and need not listen to anyone.

Although the church was only in charge of the arenas and churches in Storm City, due to it being the faith of many people, the church was rather powerful too.

Now, since the two formidable families were going to fight in the arena, the church naturally had to send someone with a high status to host it.

"Today, the Leon Clan and the Kerr Clan will compete with each other. The format of the competition is one-on-one combat. There is no limit on the number of people, methods, or weapons. Whichever side completely admits defeat or loses the ability to fight, the other side wins. If the Leon Clan wins, they can obtain a fire lizard from the Kerr Clan. If the Kerr clan wins, they will gain control over the eastern marketplace that belongs to the Leon Clan. This competition is mainly about sparring. Regardless of the outcome, you are not allowed to take revenge after leaving the arena."

After the announcement, the cardinal slowly got off the stage and chanted.

Then, an invisible wall of air slowly appeared at the edge of the arena and rose into the sky.

With this wall of air around, no attacks would be able to spill out of the arena. It would ensure the safety of the audience.

This was one of the reasons why the cardinal was appointed as the host.

If the host was of a lower level, the air wall created would not be able to withstand the impact of the two clans' experts.

However, the audience did not care about that.

They were focused on the competition's conditions.

"The management rights of the eastern marketplace? Looks like the Kerr Family is being serious this time!"

"I didn't expect the Kerr family to have such ambitions. Are they planning to fight to the death with the Leon family?"

"But, what is a fire lizard? Have you heard of it?"

"No…"

Whether it was the noble families or the commoners, all of them began to discuss the prices that the two families had placed.

However, no matter how huge the price that the Leon Clan offered, no one believed that they would lose.

***

In next to no time, both sides sent out an expert onto the arena.

The air wall rippled like water when the two of them passed through it.

It was as if the air wall did not exist.

However, it would not be so easy to come out once they entered it.

Unless the cardinal voluntarily removed the air wall, no attack or person could pass through it.

Many members of the noble families in the audience exclaimed when they saw the two of them.

The Kerr clan had only sent out a masked man in a black robe, so naturally no one recognized him.

But the experts sent by the Leon Family were all somebody.

The Former Commander of the Imperial Guards—Colt!

The Imperial Guards were specially assigned to protect the Imperial Family. Hence, their commander was naturally a top-notch expert!

One could see from his identity that Colt was definitely not an ordinary person.

At the same time, it also reflected how powerful the Leon Family was.

The family could even recruit the former commander of the imperial guards. It was obvious that the Leon Family's status in Storm City was indeed unrivaled.

Immediately, everyone felt that there was no suspense in this match.

The Leon Clan had sent out experts of such high level.

On the other hand, the Kerr Clan simply sent out a black-robed man who did not even dare to show his face.

He was just a nobody.

How dare he go against the Leon Clan with such dismal potential?

He was really tired of living.

***

On the stage, Colt was wearing golden armor and holding a huge powerful double-edged sword.

He looked mighty and extraordinary like a general who was commanding thousands of troops.

Since he had a background, the equipment on him naturally had a background too.

There was an extremely handsome golden lion head on the chest of this golden armor.

This armor was precisely the 'Lion King's Armor' that was bestowed by the Imperial Family. It was said to be impervious to swords and spears, and its defensive power was extremely strong.

As for the double-edged sword in his hand, it was equally famous.

Apparently, it was forged by a famous dwarf craftsman. The sword was 1.35 meters long and weighed 150 kilograms!

However, Colt was simply lifting it up with one hand easily. In his hand, the sword seemed to be weightless.

Right at that moment, Colt looked at the man in black opposite him arrogantly and said loudly,

"Although I don't know who you are, I advise you to admit defeat now. Otherwise, the swords and sabers have no eyes. You might get seriously hurt!"

This statement was extremely arrogant, but Colt did have the status to say that.

However, the black robed man opposite him didn't make any sound. Only his shoulders could be seen to tremble slightly.

It was as if he had heard something funny.

A look of anger immediately appeared on Colt's face when he saw the other party's reaction and his eyes flashed with the intent to kill.

Without any hesitation, he charged forward with his sword in hand.

The combination of his powerful battle technique and his strong physical body resulted in an astonishing speed.

Almost instantly, Colt crossed the 20 meters long arena and arrived in front of the man in black.

Before the audience could react, Colt had already raised his giant sword and slashed at the head of the man in black.

Just when everyone thought that the man in black would be split into two by Colt, something unexpected happened.

A large amount of black fog gushed out from the black robes of the black-robed man and pounced towards Colt.

The next moment, Colt was tightly bound by the black fog like a rope. He was unable to move at all.

Everyone was shocked to see that scene.

This was dark magic!
