The third match was still scheduled in a fighting arena in the Northern region. Ma Lin passed through a single teleportation gate to reach the small town, then took a minute to find the fighting arena and his own platform.
His opponent was another skeletal fiend god.
Skilled in mental attack spells and shadow spells.
At the start of the match, the opponent created a bouncing shadow on the ground, sticking to the floor, with glowing red eyes.
Then Ma Lin felt drowsy.
Looking at the skeletal mage, he felt as if the opponent had several heads, all surveying the fighting arena and Ma Lin with curiosity.
Ma Lin knew these were hallucinations.
The skeletal mage said, "You see my friends, which is quite rare. Want to have a chat with them?"
Ma Lin ignored him and charged forward with his sword.
As he ran, he felt as though he was stepping into a pond, and with every step, blood seeped into the water, though he glanced at his feet and saw no injuries.
