He laughed so hard he was shaking, sweating profusely, his face contorted, and his obese body rolled on the ground.
To outsiders, his current behavior is no different from that of a madman.
But the two people behind him seemed used to it, and even joined in the laughter, influenced by the fat man's infectious laughter.
They didn't know why they were laughing, but they just felt happy and excited.
I just want to laugh out loud.
The laughter of the three echoed throughout the room, drowning out the voice of the demon bat.
Such scenes are commonplace in this city of mad sorcerers.
Eight o'clock at night.
The people from the Monster Arena went into the lounge to inform Luo Xiu to prepare to enter.
"Okay, come right away."
Luo Xiu took out a large cloak from his magic pocket and covered himself with it, leaving only half of his face exposed.
A cloak suits me better.
Luo Xiu sighed.
He walked out of the lounge and pushed open the doors of the arena.
What greets you is the cheers of the huge crowd in the stands, the thunderous roar under the arena dome, and the magnificent spectacle created by countless magical lights weaving together in the air.
"Let's welcome our challenger today—the Demon Slayer White!!!"
A scantily clad woman with a good figure stood on a high platform in the arena, shouting loudly and stirring up the emotions of the audience.
She was referring to the title that the Monster Arena had just given to Luo Xiu.
Chapter 86 Instant Kill?! (7200 words delivered today)
Demon Slayer?
Luo Xiu was taken aback.
Then he reacted.
This is probably just a gimmick that the Monster Arena created for itself.
He looked up at the stands, which was an oval-shaped arena with two tiers of stands of different heights around it.
The lower level was already packed with people, and when Luo Xiu appeared, the people in the stands raised their arms and cheered.
The loudest shouters were a group of ragged, disheveled people with bloodshot eyes, each calling out Luo Xiu's "name".
"White!! Go!!! Kill that beast!!!"
"I've bet everything I have on you!! If you don't win, you won't leave this stadium!!!"
"Go for it!!! Beat it!!!"
These are the people who bet on Luo Xiu this time.
Because the arena widely publicized that Luo Xiu was a third-tier being, and because some people who witnessed the battle between Luo Xiu and Xiu Pu in the outer city spread rumors...
These gamblers, who had long since lost their minds, bet everything on Luo Xiu.
Of course, a large number of people are still betting on the Arena to win.
After all, the win rate in the arena is what it is.
Moreover, they considered themselves veteran viewers and had mastered the arena's tactics. They always won by having their own people on their side, so all they needed to do was determine whether Luo Xiu was a local.
Luo Xiu, on the other hand, was clearly not a local.
He seemed slow and unhurried, unlike the "rushed" locals, and his eyes lacked the "enthusiasm" for life that locals often have.
That is, there is not much red in the eyes.
Luo Xiu noticed it too.
The people in the stands look incredibly excited.
Almost everyone was excited, and their eyes were a little red.
When we were in the outer city area, the effect was not so noticeable.
Now that we're in this location, it's especially noticeable.
Moreover, Luo Xiu also felt that ever since he entered this place, there had been a strange, seemingly intangible force influencing his spirit, as if trying to get him into this state of excitement.
But his mental fortitude was such that he wasn't affected much.
He recalled Hup's words: Kanriel was a city of sorcerers, and also a city of madness.
Now it seems to be true.
The Demon Bat has not yet made its appearance.
This is a common tactic in the arena.
Knowing that these spectators were impatient, they deliberately delayed the appearance of the demon bats to whet their appetites.
Usually, these onlookers get impatient while waiting and then go to place a few more bets.
On that higher stand,
Here sat a group of nobles dressed in luxurious clothes, with their family crests on their chests.
They leaned against the stands, watching the field below with great interest.
This feeling of being above the common people made them feel extremely comfortable, and the upcoming battle in the arena became an important topic of conversation for them in the days to come.
Some of the noble girls were whispering among themselves, talking about Luo Xiu in the arena.
"He looks so strong..."
"What's the use of being strong? You'll be skinned alive when you encounter the demon bats and won't be strong anymore."
"But he still looks very handsome..."
"You only showed half his face, how can you tell he's handsome? You're being a fangirl again."
"You can tell a lot from just half a face. You can tell from this half of his face that he must be a very gentle person. Look, look, he's smiling! He looks so handsome when he smiles!"
"Please, my dear cousin, if you really like it, why don't you go talk to the arena? Look, Lady Margaret is sitting over there."
"Oh dear, Father will definitely scold me. I'd better not. Sigh... Such a gentle person, I wonder how the demon bat will torture her in a little while."
The girls continued their whispered conversation.
A man and a woman were sitting to their side and slightly in front of them.
The woman in the photo had wavy hair and wore a red half-breasted dress that revealed her ample figure, but instead of giving off a vulgar feeling, her noble temperament added a sense of taboo and desire.
She was adorned with expensive jewelry from head to toe, but even this jewelry failed to steal the spotlight from her, serving only as a backdrop to her beautiful face.
She was the Margaret the girls were talking about.
He is also in charge of the Monster Arena.
Beside her sat a dark-haired man wearing glasses.
The man had an extremely gentle and refined appearance, and was very cultured.
His demeanor was also extremely proper, making people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.
He is one of the leaders of Roland Merchant Guild, the largest merchant guild in Kanriel, located on the outskirts of the main city, and his name is Botta.
"Your Excellency Botta."
Margaret smiled and said:
"I am very pleased that you could come to watch the competition in our arena. I have recently heard that you are very concerned about the affairs of our arena, especially the personnel changes."
"Where is it."
Botta smiled and said:
"The Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce, and the Arena is the Arena. I don't have the guts to interfere in the affairs of the Arena. I just feel that... sometimes we should give young people a chance."
Margaret smiled and said:
"On this point, I have a different opinion from His Excellency Bota. I believe that the existence of some veterans is the foundation for the arena's continued development."
As she spoke, Margaret extended her slender white finger and pointed at Luo Xiu, who was standing in the center of the arena:
"For example, this warrior was found by one of my veterans. Finding a warrior like this is no easy task, since everyone knows that monsters have a high win rate in our arena."
"It is precisely because we were able to find such a warrior that we are able to see the arena packed with people today."
"I think this is enough to illustrate the importance of the elderly."
Botta smiled and shook his head:
"I don't think this has anything to do with the old man. It's possible that the young man in the center of the arena has the ability and confidence to beat the arena's demon bat."
"He clearly has some kind of tool that can shield him from scrutiny. These kinds of tools are not cheap. Perhaps he is carrying some other powerful tool as well."
"I've heard that the people behind the arena will be watching this match today, and I hope Miss Margarita doesn't have a mishap halfway through."
Upon hearing Botta's words, Margaret burst into laughter.
"Impossible, Lord Bota. Even if a weak being uses a tool, it cannot unleash its power. Please watch closely as this warrior is torn to shreds by our newly bred demon bats."
Botta smiled slightly but did not reply.
Center of the field.
As time passed, finally, a huge iron cage was slowly pushed out from the other end of the arena.
Inside the iron cage was the second-tier demonic bat that the fat man had arranged to be injected with the drug.
It was no longer asleep, but hanging upside down above the iron cage, displaying its fangs to the cheering crowd around it.
Its two pairs of wings were much wider than before, and it couldn't even fully extend them inside the huge cage.
The two fleshy growths under the two pairs of wings also stood out.
When Margarita saw the two tumors, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly exclaimed:
