It has been almost five months, and since that day we never have seen that man again. He was a handsome man with the blackest hair and blackest eyes, deep in his eyes were the gate to the abyss, and if one dared to look at them, would lost their focus. He released his killing intent on that day and scared us out of our wits. But later, he just disappeared. Lord Bian (Fatty) told us he went to save some slaves on the third floor, and the killing intent for the girl lost her hand, yet after that, he just vanished. We all wanted to see him save those slaves, heroic as he departed, but he vanished just like that.
Today the Championship already started. There were hundreds of Champions were fighting, but that man name was still on the list too. We still had our hopes up, but his hour was so close, and he didn't even appear yet. Maybe he really has been killed.
"What are you doing here, Rosa?" Lord Bian came to my side and caress my head as if I was a kid. Well, I was 15 years old, but still, I wasn't a kid for him to act like this. Still, I knew he was doing this to ease my mood, he was always good to me, and I was free thanks to him.
"I wanted to see Lord Hitomi fight, but he hasn't appeared yet." as soon as I said that, Lord Bian lost his smile. His face started to frown, and anger started to spread from his body, but after a while, his tighten fist relaxed and he smiled at me, "Don't worry. He will definitely come back." he said.
"Mm." I nodded slightly, but I could see in Lord Bian's face, even he wasn't believing what he said. "You won beautifully Lord Bian," I said with smiling. Lord Bian fought against one of the strongest Champion in Aristocracy, yet he won easily. There were too many techniques he knew, and he won easily.
"Thank you. It wasn't one of the majors of the Aristocracy, but winning against them, is always good." Lord Bian said, but at this moment his face froze with the announcement made.
"Gold Coin versus Dara! Come on to the stage."
"Damn this. This is Seventh in the row, the Aristocracy Champions are matched with ours, but in every match, our champions are slightly weaker than the other side. It is fraudulent." Lord Bian looked at the arena. He was fuming with anger. There was something going on, every fight against Aristocracy were deliberately set, where they could win against weaker opponents.
A figure with posture could penetrate the heavens stood with arrogance. It was none other than Gold Coin. He once fought against the Lord Hitomi and made everybody in the Upper Realm to see their fight. It was painful to watch because it was akin to fighting against an ant. Gold Coin at that time won easily and humiliated the Lord Hitomi. He even made Lord Hitomi to call himself as a bug and broadcasted all these to the people on the Upper Realm.
After Lord Dara stepped on the stage, he took out a massive axe. He was one of the strongest in the Community based on pure muscle strength. He traveled dozens of worlds with the bodily cultivation and cultivated in all of them at least half a century, now with his axe weight more than hundreds of tons, he was able to cleave mountains to two pieces without sweating. The only downside was, he had no inner force, nor he was fast. He only had strength, but it was enough to intimidate most.
At one point, some even claimed he was stronger that weakest gods. Maybe it was true because of some of the champions stronger than weakest gods. Even though Gods were supreme, and had no rivals, well except that particular, mysterious race, there were some couldn't rival strongest champions.
Gold Coin dashed to the Lord Dara's side. He wanted to aim his neck, but with a slash from Lord Dara, all Arena shook violently. The flying slash cut the space itself, as it flew all the way to the barrier the Gods had created. Even barrier started to form cracks with that mighty force. But Gold Coin was too fast. He dodged it without sweating.
This last for a few minutes. Lord Dara swung his axe relentlessly, yet Gold Coin dodged effortlessly. He was just too swift. And when everyone, even my thought was it would be a draw, a smile formed on Gold Coin's face. He looked toward us, strictly speaking, he looked at the Lord Bian with a provocative nod, then all of a sudden a lightning formed, and the head of Lord Dara left his body, as it flew to the air.
It was so terrible. So scary. A strong champion, a kind-hearted muscle fool Lord Dara died, just like that. This was the seventh match Aristocracy won against the Community, as Lord Bian stated, there was something going on. It wasn't an honest draw at this point everybody understood that, but there wasn't anything that anyone could do. But it wasn't the worse.
"Next match. Dara vs Joker. Because Dara died at the previous match, Joker won." the announcer said.
"Are you freaking kidding me? Do you match Joker with a dead opponent? Is it your fairness?" one of the Champion at the Community shouted, couldn't hold himself back.
"Who do you think you are, questioning us? Council has appointed us to overseer this Championship, our words are Council's edict!" the announcer refuted angrily.
"Next match. Hitomi vs Kako!" the announcer stated. Lord Bian was incensed. He was shaking from the rage.
"HOW LOW ARE YOU, YOU ACTUALLY PLAYED WITH THE LOTS. YOU KILLED MY COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS, NOW YOUR STRONGEST IS MATCH WITH A MAN DISAPPEARED MYSTERIOUSLY! ARE YOU THAT SCARED OF ME KAKO? YOU DON'T DARE TO FIGHT AGAINST ME, BUT CHOSE TO TAKE FREE WIN!" Lord Bian's voice penetrated the heavens, and everybody heard him. By now, everyone understood that the Aristocracy played with the lots, and was aiming the Community. But they even let their second strongest Champion to have a free win was too shameless.
But it was exactly as Lord Bian stated. Kako was the second strongest of the Aristocracy, and to improve his chances, they gave him free win, after all, their strongest could fight with almost anyone. And now with their tricks, Aristocracy would definitely win this stage of the Championship, and with 9 of the top 10 would belong to them, and they would win the First Floor easily.
"Because he didn't appear, Hitomi lost his first battle." announcer stated. Everyone's face was red from anger. It hasn't even been a minute, yet claimed he has lost.
"Next fight, Gold Coin vs Hitomi. If Hitomi doesn't show his face in the next minutes, he will lose!" The words of Announcer dropped a bomb on the spectators. This shamelessness was beyond they could endure. Almost all of the spectators were free citizens of Seventh Floor, as well as supporters of the Community. Now that they saw how unfair the lot is, how could they endure to this?
"BOO!" all of the spectators started to shout in rage, but there was nothing they could do. Gold Coin just stood there with an evil smile on his face, was celebrating his second victory, also meant, he would go to the next round.
