Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 531: Chapter 495: Victory is Assured! Chapter 531: Chapter 495: Victory is Assured! Shortly after Rocky stepped onto the arena, the Mairente Family members also arrived, among whom, apart from Lexington and Abraham, there naturally was Bernardo.

Just like Rocky, Bernardo flew directly onto the stage, and the moment he landed, he gave Rocky quite a shock.

He was actually wearing… Holy Angel Armor?!

Looking at Bernardo clad in glittering Armor, especially the eight Magic Conduction Machines floating behind the Armor, Rocky immediately recognized this set of Armor. It was Sigma Corporation’s most advanced Void Magic Armor, and also the most cutting-edge Void Magic Armor of today, the Holy Angel Armor!

So that’s how it is!

After the initial shock, Rocky turned to look at Lexington, who had already taken a seat in the very front row of the crowd, and finally understood what the family had been preparing for Bernardo over the past week.

They had prepared the Holy Angel Armor for Bernardo to use against him!

They really invested a fortune.

For this duel, the Mairente Family had indeed invested a fortune!

As the most advanced fifth and a half generation Armor of today, the Holy Angel Armor’s price was extraordinarily high. This Armor did not have a mass production type, only a specialized one, thus just one set of Armor was priced at a staggering nine hundred ninety-nine thousand Gold Coins, essentially one million Gold Coins. The current Mairente Family being able to produce such a large sum to purchase this Armor truly meant they had gambled the entire family’s fortune.

Is that really the case?

Yes!

To win this duel, the Mairente Family, from top to bottom, was essentially united in making all the preparations possible, and among these, the most troublesome issue was naturally how to deal with the White Demon Armor.

As today’s most mysterious Armor, the White Demon’s strength is universally acknowledged, so if Bernardo couldn’t at least equal Rocky in terms of Armor, no, he needed to be one step ahead. If Bernardo couldn’t be one step ahead in terms of Armor, then it was impossible for him to win against Rocky.

This was a fact known by everyone, but how could it be achieved?

The White Demon was not only powerful but also mysterious, and not to mention its specific performance, people couldn’t even determine which generation it belonged to. However, everyone knew that challenging the White Demon with a fifth generation Armor was futile, as the White Demon had proven with numerous victories that not even a specialized fifth generation Armor was a match for it.

Thus, the only choice left for the Mairente Family was: fifth and a half generation Armor!

In today’s world, where sixth generation Armor had not yet emerged, the only one capable of overpowering the White Demon was the Holy Angel Armor!

Therefore, the family had procured a set of Holy Angel Armor for Bernardo. The process need not be detailed, but in essence, they had acquired the Armor, and it was for this reason that Abraham had previously dared to assert that Bernardo would surely win.

In fact, when Bernardo appeared on the stage wearing the Holy Angel Armor, Rocky was genuinely startled, immediately furrowing his brow, because, to be fair, the Holy Angel Armor… was indeed not easy to deal with…

“It’s Young Master Bernardo!”

“It’s the Holy Angel Armor!”

“We will win! We must win this time!”

“Must win!”

“Must win!”

“Must win!”

While Rocky’s brow was furrowed, the crowd around the arena had already erupted into deafening cheers, even louder and more resounding than the heckling from before.

At this moment, it wasn’t just those who had been heckling Rocky cheering for Bernardo; even the common folks who had remained silent when facing Rocky now joined in, excitedly shouting after seeing Bernardo, making the cheering from the square as thunderous as actual thunder.

Listening to the tsunami-like cheers, Bernardo too was exceedingly excited. He had made full preparations for this duel, whether in terms of capability or mindset, he was exceptionally prepared. And now, with the Holy Angel Armor on his person, he felt completely fearless against Rocky.

So when the common people around the arena kept cheering, he slowly raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he turned his gaze toward Rocky.

“Rocky, I’m giving you a chance,”

Utilizing the amplifier in his armor, Bernardo’s voice not only came out of the armor but also spread throughout the entire Central Square, enabling every single person to hear it loud and clear.

“Out of consideration for you also carrying the family bloodline, you may surrender now, and I will allow you to take your people and leave the Mairente family!”

Bernardo’s voice, at that moment, spread throughout the square, turning the just quieted crowd into a boiling frenzy. To the watching commoners, those words sounded incredibly domineering!

So as time swiftly passed, the chaotic cheers converged into a uniform chant, and all the commoners on the square shouted out in unison, the two characters that meant victory!

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

The neat chanting enveloped the entire Central Square, and at this point, nothing else anyone said mattered, because the emotions of the people had been thoroughly stirred up and no other sound could be heard.

In such circumstances, Rocky simply chose not to respond with words and instead stretched out his hand and hooked it toward Bernardo!

“Refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit!”

Facing Rocky’s gesture, Bernardo snorted coldly, and immediately, the eight Magic Conduction Machines behind him opened up like a pair of wings, setting their stance!

The duel… began!

Once both sides had assumed their stances, there was a brief pause of approximately one breath before both men moved simultaneously!

It was Rocky who made the first move, naturally.

Standing on one side of the arena, he suddenly accelerated and charged forward without any preliminary movements, crossing most of the arena and rushing up to Bernardo!

Without a doubt, after Athena’s reminder, Rocky was no longer taking the duel lightly. Especially after seeing the Holy Angel Armor, he was even more cautious, so right from the start, he went all out, utilizing the White Demon’s specialty—speed—to close in on his opponent.

Those familiar with the White Demon would know that in terms of speed, it was almost impossible to surpass. Whether it was absolute speed, static acceleration, or sustained acceleration, the White Demon was peerless, with no other armor to match.

With such exceptional speed, coupled with the power of the Magic Fang Scythe, once it closed in on the opponent, the outcome would be decided.

Thus, in just the time it took to take a breath, Rocky had reached Bernardo and stretched out his hand behind him, gripping the Magic Fang Scythe!

At this moment, Lexington and the other Mairente family elders, as well as the younger generation like Abraham, all had their hearts in their throats. They were afraid—truly afraid—that Rocky might end the fight in a single round.

Although the Holy Angel Armor was the most advanced armor of the present time, since its debut, it had not had any combat record against the White Demon, whereas the White Demon already had countless victories to its name. This left everyone in the Mairente family on edge, fearing that the Holy Angel Armor might encounter some mishap.

But their concerns did not materialize, for just as Rocky rushed up to Bernardo and was about to draw the Magic Fang Scythe from his back, Bernardo, with no warning, dodged at an unbelievable speed, wrapping around to Rocky’s back!

“What!”

Realizing that Bernardo had suddenly circled to his back, Rocky was taken aback. Similarly, Lexington and the others, who had been extremely anxious, finally breathed a sigh of relief…

They had won!

This time, Bernardo was definitely the winner!
