I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.
62. Blocking the door
"What happened? What happened? Bloodaxe House is dead! Dead!"
"Oh! It's damn magic! This charlatan knows magic!"
"Quickly send our clan's warriors into battle! We can ride horses; we'll give him no time to cast a spell!"
With a strange cry from the Tweezers Man, the shredded corpse on the ground vanished quickly, and the gate at the other end of the arena opened again, from which came the crisp sound of horses' hooves.
"Did they really send out a horseman?"
Luo Yue immediately tensed up.
The giant axe-wielding man in front was weak and arrogant. He was easily shattered by a single fireball, but he didn't take himself seriously at all. Even after he was eliminated, he was still enjoying the cheers of the crowd.
But considering this is only the first round, it's normal for it to be a bit simple. This kind of game usually gets harder as you go on, so Luo Yue naturally didn't dare to let his guard down at all.
The host seemed to notice the change in his expression and started shouting again:
"It's here! It's here! Lightning from the Snow Wolf Clan, it and its warhorse will kill like a whirlwind... Uh... why did it suddenly collapse? Where's its head?"
The second tweezers warrior had just charged out of the gate on horseback when a wind blade came straight at him, instantly beheading him.
"It seems the second round is quite easy too. These tweezers are noisy, but they're really weak. They can't even withstand a first-tier spell."
Luo Yue smiled, feeling more confident.
However, this is only the second round, and it's not time to pop the champagne yet.
Then, he quickly dispatched a tweezers-wielding man riding a giant bear, another with hunting dogs and a bow and arrow, and a man wearing a feather headdress, easily passing the first five rounds.
Not only was he completely unharmed, but the magic power he had consumed was also fully restored with the help of the potion he had taken beforehand.
"The difficulty level seems manageable? The pace of the battles isn't too fast either. The audience's shouts and the announcer's announcements between each match give me time to rest."
Luo Yue sighed inwardly, recalling what the "strategy guide" said: "The Night Banquet" is indeed a very safe place, and the so-called battles are more of a performance for the purpose of pleasing others."
But starting from the sixth round, the opponent seems to be increasing the intensity.
"Damn it! Damn it! This despicable charlatan has already killed five of our warriors!"
"We can't let him continue to be so arrogant!"
"There's no need for rules with this bastard. Let's send our clan's combat squads in!"
So the group that came out from the other side of the gate became a three-person team: one with a shield, one with a bow, and one with a spear.
The host's previously slightly subdued mood was reignited, and he passionately shouted:
"They're here! They're here! They're the most agile cheetahs, the strongest wild boars, and the deadliest tigers in the jungle! They can even hunt dragons!"
The strength of this wave of enemies has indeed increased significantly; it took Royo four fireballs to defeat them.
After years of continuous practice, he can now release a fireball in less than 2 seconds, reaching the same level as that street mage back then.
Limited by his mental strength, this speed is about the limit of the second tier.
However, Royo now wields the ritual dagger given to him by Serishina, which has a great effect on speeding up spellcasting;
In addition, the experience he gained from the monster that invaded his mind space the night before he entered the area further enhanced his mental strength. Now, releasing a fireball only takes 0.5 seconds, and its range has also been significantly improved.
So as soon as the team entered, he first blew up the shield with a fireball, then each of them followed up with a fireball, easily passing the sixth round.
"What if they keep ganging up on me? Should I...?"
While the audience was criticizing him, Luo Yue began to cultivate [Explosive Flame] in his hands.
This spell is a third-tier spell. He tried to force it to be cast at the second tier, but even with the equipment, it wouldn't be as fast as a first-tier spell.
Of course, it won't be as slow as when you first mastered it; about 15 seconds of chanting is enough.
But the rest time the Colosseum allowed him was far more than 15 seconds...
So, just as the gate on the other side was opened and the host was still announcing the program, Luo Yue's [Explosive Flame], which he had been preparing for a long time, roared out.
The passage behind the gate was quite narrow, and the seventh wave of enemies were blown to pieces behind the gate before they could even disperse.
"Blocking the door is definitely the fastest way to get here."
Luo Yue nodded and then scratched his ear.
His actions, instead of eliciting applause, only made the criticism even harsher.
"How despicable! How utterly despicable!"
"Those who dabble in the occult are all truly treacherous and ruthless!"
"Gouge out his heart! Gouge out his eyes!"
Luo Yue remained unmoved, merely smiling dismissively as he began to prepare his next [Explosive Flame] attack.
If cursing were effective, wouldn't all those years of cultivation as a keyboard immortal on Earth have been wasted?
........................
It wasn't that no one cheered for Royo; it's just that he was in the Colosseum and couldn't hear it.
"You wiped them out again! Well done!"
"This guy won another round! And all of them were clean and impressive victories. He's really good!"
"It's almost round 10, I wonder how far he can go?"
"Who cares about anything else, just win! Charge! Number 29!"
"Why are you throwing money at the stage?"
"Sorry, it's just a habit..."
Most of the guests here are unaware of the true value of the Endless Colosseum, assuming it's just a performance like any other "battle."
Although they couldn't see very clearly from the balcony due to the distance and size, and couldn't understand what the tweezers were shouting, they could only see that Luo Yue had probably released some kind of magic, and a huge score number at the top of the stage.
But that didn't stop them from applauding and showering money on Royo, who was also human.
Of course, some people have raised doubts, believing that these tweezers operators are too weak.
For example, in VIP room number 6, the young man from the Marquis's family was complaining:
"These enemies are too weak; they can't even withstand a single fireball. It makes the battle completely unwatchable and a pure waste of time. I don't know why they even bothered with such a boring event."
After saying that, he went straight back to his room to cultivate.
These words sounded particularly harsh to Number 7, who was standing nearby, making his expression even more serious.
"How is this possible? He made it through round 10 just like that?"
As the guest who understands the value of the Endless Colosseum best among the guests, there is still a lot of information he hasn't revealed.
For example, the monsters' targeted growth means that after discovering that the guest is a mage, they will specifically increase their magic resistance each round until they are completely immune to magic.
The reason his mentor was able to persist until the 17th round was not because she was significantly stronger than others, but because she was not a mage in the traditional sense…
So as Royo got closer and closer to the 17th round, his facial expression became increasingly difficult to maintain.
