When Su Yuan and his two companions arrived at the entrance of the Fist Arena, they found that the lock on the door had already been opened.
"Tch..." Without any hesitation, Wriothesley kicked the door open.
The scene that greeted them was unsettling—on the arena stage, "Chevreuse" stood with a strange, eerie smile, gazing at the three of them.
"Running away? Why aren't you running anymore? Why did you obediently co back to ?"
"Chevreuse" chuckled darkly, an expression of sheer delight on her face.
"Sigewinne!" Wriothesley shouted loudly.
He had spotted her behind "Chevreuse", on the other side of the arena stage—her eyes were blindfolded, her mouth was gagged, and her body was tightly bound with nurous ropes.
Bloodstains covered her body, and she lay motionless on the ground...
"Originally, I was so eager to devour Sigewinne... After all, a humanoid lusine is quite rare..."
"But in order to lure you little fish onto my hook, I decided to suppress my appetite for now..."
"Su Yuan! Stay back and go to the spectator stands!" Wriothesley shouted.
"Neuvillette, check on Sigewinne!"
"I'll deal with 'Chevreuse'!"
With those words, Wriothesley leaped onto the arena stage, his eyes burning with fury as he locked onto "Chevreuse" with an unyielding glare.
His gauntlets began to hum with energy, emitting waves of icy air...
Su Yuan imdiately ran to the spectator stands, picking a pri spot to enjoy the upcoming battle.
Neuvillette gave a small nod before swiftly circling around the arena, making his way toward Sigewinne.
"I haven't finished speaking yet! How dare you act on your own!!"
"Chevreuse" roared furiously, baring her bloodstained maw.
She then raised her gunlance in Neuvillette's direction, preparing to fire a shot!
"Don't get distracted while boxing! Keep your eyes on your opponent!" Wriothesley warned.
He swiftly adjusted his breathing, rhythm, and footwork before darting forward.
Powerful Cryo energy surged into his gauntlets, and in an instant, he unleashed six consecutive strikes of his Swift Frost Barrage!
Thanks to Wriothesley's interference, Chevreuse's shot went off course, missing its mark and failing to hinder Neuvillette's movent.
What incredible speed!
Su Yuan was utterly stunned—his eyes could barely keep up with Wriothesley's fists, only catching glimpses of their afterimages.
So this is his true power?
"If Wriothesley had this kind of attack speed in the original ga, that would be way too broken!"
However, unlike Su Yuan's amazent, Wriothesley himself was even more shocked.
Despite his overwhelming speed, not a single punch landed.
'Chevreuse' had dodged every strike effortlessly!
This has never happened before...
"Tch... If a flurry of quick strikes doesn't work, then let's see how you handle this!"
In the next mont, Wriothesley tossed his right gauntlet into the air.
Then, with a smooth, elegant spin, he clenched his right fist—slipping it perfectly back into the falling gauntlet!
Instantly, the gauntlet transford, its internal chanisms shifting into high gear—activating at full power!
A trendous surge of Cryo energy began condensing within it...
As Wriothesley drove his right fist forward with full force, he unleashed a devastating, frost-laden straight punch!
In an instant, a barrage of ice spikes erupted forward, relentlessly striking everything in their path and inflicting widespread, continuous Cryo damage!
Su Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
This must be Wriothesley's Elental Burst from the original ga...
Wasn't it called "Darkgold Wolfbite"?
Seeing it in real life was far more spectacular than in the ga...
This is insane!
Su Yuan could even see cracks forming across the arena floor.
That attack might have just killed "Chevreuse" outright...
"Wriothesley, calm down! You're losing control—you're going too far!" Neuvillette warned.
"Chevreuse's body can't withstand that kind of attack!"
The arena stage was now engulfed in a thick haze of ice mist, frost, dust, and water vapor, making it hard to see Chevreuse's condition...
"Tch..." Wriothesley gritted his teeth, staring at the aftermath of his attack.
Did I overdo it...?
But in the next instant—sothing changed.
"Wriothesley... If this is the extent of your strength, then just go die."
A chilling voice echoed from within the icy mist and dust.
Slowly, Chevreuse's figure erged...
Wriothesley's entire body tensed.
He froze in place.
For the first ti in a long while... he felt fear.
A long ti ago, when Wriothesley escaped from his foster ho, he wandered the streets, holess, drenched in rain, starving...
Facing the abuse and beatings of several grown n, he had felt an overwhelming fear—one that made his entire body tremble, robbing him of sleep night after night...
But as he grew older and his strength increased, fear seed to drift further and further away from him...
Yet now, standing before the eerie, transford "Chevreuse", that fear had returned.
A primal, instinctual terror—one that gripped him from the depths of his very being.
This was the most fundantal fear of all living things...
No matter who you are, what status you hold, what abilities you possess, or what kind of mindset you maintain...
As long as you still have emotions and desires, this kind of fear is inescapable.
"Wriothesley! Danger!"
At this mont, Neuvillette was only a few steps away from Sigewinne, but even he felt an overwhelming sense of crisis—a fear so intense it sent shivers down his spine.
There was no ti to hesitate.
In an instant, Neuvillette transford into a dragon-shaped stream of water, surging toward Wriothesley and 'Chevreuse'!
As the ice mist and dust gradually cleared, Chevreuse's figure beca fully visible...
Her body was engulfed in jet-black flas.
There were no traces of ice around her, no signs that Wriothesley's attack had affected her in the slightest.
That black fire had effortlessly nullified his full-powered assault.
Slowly, Chevreuse raised her gunlance, aiming it directly at Wriothesley's forehead.
"Wriothesley! What are you doing, snap out of it! Dodge!"
Su Yuan shouted frantically from the spectator stands, but he could do nothing.
Wriothesley stood there, his eyes dull and unfocused, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.
He was completely paralyzed.
With a bang, a shot rang out—a bullet wreathed in black energy tore through the air, speeding straight for Wriothesley!
But thankfully, Neuvillette made it in ti!
With a swift lunge, he tackled Wriothesley to the ground—but the bullet struck his shoulder!
His elegant, noble attire was instantly torn apart, and blood and torn flesh splattered across the arena.
"Hah... As expected of an ancient elental dragon." Chevreuse chuckled darkly.
"That body of yours is far tougher than those frail mortals."
"Wriothesley! Wake up!" Neuvillette called his na, trying to shake him out of it.
But Wriothesley's lifeless eyes remained unchanged—there was no sign of him regaining consciousness.
"Hehehe... You won't be able to wake him up. He's already trapped in deep fear... completely unable to escape."
"Chevreuse" let out a sinister chuckle.
"And next... it's your turn, Neuvillette."
"But you are, after all, of the dragon race. This thod might not work on you..."
"No matter. I'll just kill you—one bullet at a ti!"
"Su Yuan! I'll do my best to hold off Chevreuse! Take Sigewinne and get out of here!" Neuvillette shouted.
Hearing this, Su Yuan imdiately got up and rushed toward Sigewinne's location.
—
Neuvillette unleashed a barrage of Hydro attacks, manipulating water spheres, water pillars, and water bullets in an attempt to injure Chevreuse—but all his efforts were in vain.
The ominous black flas surrounding Chevreuse provided her with a flawless, 360-degree defense, blocking every single attack with ease.
On the other hand, Neuvillette, despite using water shields and water walls to defend himself, found them utterly useless against the black-tinged bullets fired from Chevreuse's gunlance.
His body was already riddled with bullet wounds, and his exquisite attire was thoroughly soaked in blood.
Yet, he fought on... refusing to fall.
—
anwhile, Su Yuan finally reached Sigewinne's side.
Without hesitation, he pulled out a small knife from his pocket and sliced through the ropes that bound Sigewinne's body, as well as the cloth covering her eyes and mouth...
Sigewinne was still alive, though there was a visible wound on the back of her head, stained with blood—she had most likely been knocked unconscious by a heavy blow.
Su Yuan looked at Sigewinne, then turned his gaze toward Wriothesley, collapsed on the ground, and finally at Neuvillette, struggling to hold on.
The sheer brutality of the scene left him speechless.
Was this why the ssage on his left palm had warned him—never to fight against the Eerie?
Were the Eerie really this powerful...?
Right now, Su Yuan saw no hope.
This was the only way left.
Next ti, he had to find a way to escape with Sigewinne—no matter what, he could never fight the Eerie head-on again.
With trembling hands, Su Yuan slowly raised the small knife, pressing it against his own neck—ready to end his life and restart from a checkpoint.
—
At the sa ti, Neuvillette had reached his limit.
His body collapsed to its knees, completely exhausted.
He stared in disbelief at Su Yuan's actions.
In his mory, Su Yuan was never soone who would give up like this...
—
High above the battlefield, Chevreuse pointed her gunlance at Neuvillette's head, a sinister grin spreading across her blood-stained lips.
"Hahaha! Neuvillette, do you see this?"
She threw her head back and let out a chilling, cruel laugh.
"This is the Su Yuan you put your faith in!"
"So fragile! So weak! So utterly pathetic!!"
