Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 535: Chapter 499: Raise the Sword to Question the Heavens! Chapter 535: Chapter 499: Raise the Sword to Question the Heavens! The whole arena suddenly quieted down, prompting Lexington and his son to immediately look towards the ring, and then they saw…

Of course, they saw Rocky!

As the smoke on the ring gradually cleared, everyone discovered that Rocky, clad in the White Demon Armor, was standing firmly on it!

This scene first took Bernardo by surprise; he was sure he had hit Rocky just now, perhaps not with every shot, but at least more than half of the Magic Energy Beams had hit him. How could Rocky possibly be unharmed?

Secondly, the audience was also stunned because it was clear to everyone that Abraham had just used a big move. Given the previous performance of the Holy Angel Armor, one would expect Rocky would certainly not be able to stand up after such an attack.

Lastly, even Bodin and his companions showed disbelieving expressions. Just a second ago, they all thought Rocky had lost. He hadn’t lost to Bernardo, but to the Holy Angel Armor, filling the three of them with regret. Who would have thought that just a few seconds later, they would find Rocky still standing in the ring!

Following the gaze of the crowd towards the ring, one could see that most of it had been smashed to pieces under the fierce bombardment of the Holy Angel Armor, turning it into a pile of ruins—and there stood Rocky among these ruins. Furthermore, he seemed unhurt, with his Defensive Net still up, and then there was the pose he was now striking…

Standing among the ruins of the ring, Rocky held the Magic Fang Scythe high with one hand, pointing its blade straight towards the sky. This pose, coupled with the surrounding battered ring, instantly gave the impression that he was heroically challenging the heavens, looking incredibly cool!

Such a scene stunned everyone; the abrupt shift in style felt odd to all. Before this, Rocky had always been at a disadvantage—the term ‘in dire straits’ wouldn’t even be too harsh to describe his earlier performance. How had he suddenly transformed into this?

Not just the on-site audience and the multitude from the Mairente Family, even Athena in the corner was taken aback for a moment when she saw this scene.

If there was anyone in the entire arena who wasn’t surprised by this, it was only Liliya. She alone understood why Rocky posed as if challenging the heavens—it wasn’t to look cool or to flirt, but to defend!

Apart from Liliya, nobody knew about the existence of the Azure Fang, let alone that Rocky was holding his scythe high to allow the Azure Fang at the tip to come into contact with the Defensive Net, thereby multiplying the Defensive Net’s strength and absorbing all of the Holy Angel Armor’s attacks!

Proof could be found by looking at the tip of the Magic Fang Scythe, where one would notice a faint glow, indicating that the Azure Fang had absorbed some mana.

Of course, aside from Rocky and Liliya, no one else knew this; everyone thought that it was the Defensive Net that had withstood the previous attack, including Bernardo.

“Damn it!”

It was precisely because of this thought that, once Bernardo came back to his senses, he immediately began recharging the Magic Conduction Machine, preparing to launch another attack!

“…I didn’t expect the White Demon’s defensive capabilities to be so strong…”

Facing Rocky standing tall in the ring, Abraham also frowned, feeling they had misjudged the White Demon Armor’s defensive power. However, this was not a big deal, because as everyone had seen, a part of the previous attack had hit the ring when Bernardo tried to block Rocky’s escape routes, meaning that assault hadn’t unleashed the full potential. But this time, Bernardo would not repeat the mistake. He would aim all eight Magic Conducting Machines at Rocky, pouring all his attacks on him, certain that the White Demon Armor’s Defensive Net would not be able to withstand it!

Is that so?

Indeed it is!

As Bernardo recharged the Magic Conduction Machine, he locked all its targets onto Rocky!

In his view, this was the true finishing move. Once Rocky got hit, he would have no chance of counterattacking. After all, the peak mana of the Holy Angel Armor could reach twenty thousand. With such a massive amount of mana powering a full-strength strike, not even the Defensive Net of the White Demon could possibly withstand it!

With this thought in mind, Bernardo took even longer to charge up this time, clearly having activated all the mana contained within the Super Crystal of the Magic Conduction Machine.

And it seemed everyone had realized what he was thinking because the citizens outside the ring also began to cheer him on, once again chanting victory slogans in unison!

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

“Victory!”

After a brief silence, the entire Central Square erupted again, once more becoming a cacophony of voices. Amidst the deafening noise, each person’s gaze was locked on the arena, watching this most critical hit.

“Dodge it… You must dodge it…”

In the deafening shouts, Bodin and the others had already clenched their fists tight. They too were staring unblinkingly at the arena, even beginning to mutter under their breath, because they could tell that Bernardo’s attack this time would be even fiercer than before. They prayed that Rocky would definitely dodge, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t be able to stand up again.

“Don’t dodge… Don’t dodge…”

“If you dare, don’t dodge… You mustn’t dodge…”

Similarly, at this time, the members of the Mairente Family were also clenching their fists and gritting their teeth as they watched the arena, but what they were muttering was different. They were praying that Rocky wouldn’t dodge, that he wouldn’t dodge at all, and it would be best if he just stood there and got knocked down!

And just after those tense seconds passed, the Magic Conduction Machine finally completed its charge and, without any pause, fired off eight beams of light!

These eight beams, brighter and even blinding compared to before and also thicker, hit Rocky in the blink of an eye – a direct hit on all counts!

“He’s hit!”

“He’s done for! He’s definitely done for!”

“Why… Why didn’t he dodge…”

The moment Rocky was hit, every member of the Mairente Family leaped up from their seats. From the Elders to the youngsters, even Lexington stood up in excitement; whereas, on the other side, the faces of Bodin and his companions instantly turned ashen. They couldn’t understand why Rocky didn’t evade. With the speed of the White Demon, with his reflexes, he could have totally dodged!

At the same time, the entire audience also erupted completely, bursting out with cheers more enthusiastic than ever before!

However, just after the cheers erupted, they didn’t even last a second before they vanished…

In an instant, the entire Central Square of Mairente City fell silent. The square became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, or even someone’s breathing!
