Chapter 347: Chapter 345 Am I Really Going to Beco a Slave?_1
“I don’t think I’m quite ready…”
Colin’s pupils constricted, realizing in that mont that he was seemingly about to foolishly attempt to withstand an artifact of the Golden Level!
But before he could call for a pause, the surrounding scene began to change abruptly…
And the blurred figure of light before him issued a declaration of battle:
“Under the witness of the ‘Shield of Fairness Adjudication,’ I hereby initiate a sacred duel with the person before !”
This sentence was not short.
However, as soon as the voice began the word “I,” Colin felt everything around him stretching away, and by the ti the last word dropped, they were already in what seed like a boundless and massive spatial domain.
And that blur of light was now around thirty ters from him…
Intuition told Colin that if he didn’t defeat this figure, even with two Golden Cards in hand, he would not be able to force an exit.
The feeling of being violently stripped from the real world and thrust into the colosseum stirred an intense unease within him…
Thinking this, he turned his gaze toward the vague silhouette nearby, his eyes narrowing, flas surging about him as he charged up, contemplating whether to take this person down right now.
Otherwise, if he really allowed the opponent to establish three rules, even if those were truly fair and just, he’d be finished if he couldn’t win.
Colin hadn’t forgotten what was written on that artifact…
For soone like him, a non-artifact holder, losing ant becoming a slave!
Then he would be at the rcy of the other, unable to resist however he might be tornted…
Yet, though he harbored these thoughts, he didn’t dare to make a move; his instincts warned him that acting might bring so inexplicable consequences…
They wouldn’t be fatal, but very troubleso.
At this mont, the blurry figure of light thirty ters ahead seed to see right through his thoughts.
“You may try to attack
now with a standard assault…”
There couldn’t be a trap, could there?
Hearing these words, Colin couldn’t help but ponder for a few seconds but decided to give it a try. Pulling out the “Revolver Contrarian,” he aid at the shadow’s chest and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The flash of fla in an instant, a bullet wrapped in fire shot out.
Logically, at a distance of thirty ters, it would take very little ti to hit the target.
Yet, halfway there, the bullet mysteriously vanished into thin air.
And at the sa ti…
“Snap!”
A sound of a whip cracking echoed from behind Colin.
His whole body shuddered, a searing pain like broken bones swept through him, even feeling his attributes decrease.
This temporary decrease might have reached twenty percent!
‘Damn, that’s a steep price. Even if I broke a pinky, my level wouldn’t drop by that much…’
Colin thought in shock.
“Next ti, it will be three lashes!”
A ghostly whisper crept into Colin’s ears, as if cautioning him of the consequences of another mistake.
‘One lash costing
twenty percent of my strength, three lashes would be unbearable…’
Colin drew a deep breath, resisting the urge to panic.
Especially wicked was the power at play—if one didn’t know and was rather hotheaded or skeptical, they’d likely end up in a really bad spot.
anwhile, a voice ca from ahead:
“Before the duel rules are set and officially comnced, any form of attack is not allowed. Even if one bears Divine status, such attacks cannot be ignored. Once warnings exceed three tis, the ‘Death Judgnt’ will be enacted, and even if it’s not fatal, a substantial price will be paid.
“At least within the Domain of the Demigods, no one can break out of the colosseum through brute force.”
Shana seriously introduced the value of the item to the other party, hoping to make them change their mind.
After all, the Holy Relic was indeed very important to her as well as to the Church.
“Instructive.”
Colin nodded slightly, while becoming increasingly worried that “The Light Chaser” might seize the opportunity to strike.
If he really got captured as a slave, it wouldn’t be a laughing matter.
“The remaining rules that seem more troubleso are those three, right? If they all require both parties to confirm ‘fairness and justice,’ then it shouldn’t be much of a problem…”
However, before he could continue to ponder, Colin saw the other party continuing to speak.
“In this sacred duel, I swear that we will adhere to three completely fair rules…”
“First, I promise that in this battle, I will forgo the use of any ‘items’ with mystical effects. In the interest of fairness, my opponent will also be unable to use any ‘items’.”
Upon hearing the first rule, Colin’s face involuntarily changed—
Not use “items”?
Without “items,” facing “The Light Chaser,” a strong opponent blessed with Divine Status, he would have no chance of resisting, and even if the opponent wasn’t actually adept at combat, they could easily mount him and lay their hands on him.
Clearly, in Colin’s view, this didn’t count as “fairness and justice” at all.
Yet, so vague response echoed in the area, and the rule was set.
“Damn it, what kind of fairness and justice is this?”
When Colin read the description before, he thought this kind of “fairness and justice” required agreent from both parties.
He never anticipated that it was one-sided!
The bland description in the brief and his previous prejudice against “Boss Huang He” gave him a less than favorable impression of the item.
But only at this mont did he realize what this so-called “fairness” really ant…
Just as Colin’s thoughts boiled over, the “The Light Chaser” in front of him didn’t pause either, continuing to state the subsequent rules.
“Second, I promise that in this battle, I will not use ranged attacks as my primary mode of combat. In the interest of fairness, my opponent also cannot use ranged attacks as their main thod of attack.”
“Third, I promise that in this battle, I will not retreat more than three tis to avoid combat. In the interest of fairness, my opponent also cannot engage in the act of retreating more than three tis.”
…
“Damn… I’ve never seen such a despicable ability in my life.”
Colin couldn’t help but express a sentint similar to “Boss Huang He’s” initial one.
The more he listened to the rules, the more he felt a tingling in his heart, wondering whether he should acknowledge that this thing indeed ca from the machinations of “Boss Huang He”—the item’s effect was undoubtedly unquestionable.
With these three “fair and just” rules out, he felt as if he had been completely paralyzed.
But soon…
Colin suddenly noticed sothing, the first rule seed not to have taken full effect?
Looking at the “Revolver Contrarian” in his hand that was still emitting flas.
He was certain that although the Bone Spur and his items below the purple level seed no longer usable, the two Golden Cards and the “Revolver Contrarian,” an orange-tier item, as well as purple items, were still usable?
On the other side, “The Light Chaser” also noticed this, seeing that the weapon in the man’s hand across from him was still emitting flas, indicating that it was likely still in a usable state.
But the opponent hadn’t received any punishnt, which seed to conflict with the first rule, right?
Yet…
Shana checked her status and found that among her items, it seed that aside from those issued by Parchnt, all other unexplained items sourced from different ans were now unusable.
However, soon, through her connection with the item, she received an “Inspiration” from the will within the “Shield of Fairness Adjudication,” understanding the reason for this situation.
