The crowd began to grow disappointed with Void Reaper’s performance as he appeared cornered by his opponent. Some of his supporters shouted angrily at him from the stands, their frustration boiling over.
“That asshole tricked us! Kill that Void Reaper!”
“Fuck, he’s so stupid! Like some dumb rookie fighter!”
“He doesn’t deserve to be in this fight! Send him back to the 1st floor, or just kill him!”
The disappointment spread, and many spectators started throwing objects into the arena. The Main Protagonist, who they had hoped would deliver yet another incredible match, had utterly let them down this time. He looked on the verge of defeat-by none other than a mere Bloodfiend.
While, In the arena, Broken finally made his decision. He couldn’t let himself stay in this situation any longer. If his health dropped too low, his Ethereal Form would activate, exposing his true identity as Him! He had to fight back.
Broken sprinted across the field, circling around as the Bloodfiend chased him. He slammed his foot into the ground, preparing to execute his attack sequence. There was no other choice.
The Bloodfiend darted toward him with blinding speed. Broken clenched his fists, dropped into a defensive stance, and ducked just in time to land a powerful uppercut to the demon’s chin. The creature had underestimated Broken, and the punch landed perfectly.
The demon staggered back, losing its balance, but Broken pressed forward. He unleashed a flurry of rapid, precise punches, each strike hitting its mark.
Broken mixed in a few quick kicks, driving the demon backward with brutal force until it slammed into the wall. Without missing a beat, Broken dashed forward, relentlessly pounding the demon, giving it no chance to recover or fight back.
The demon struggled to defend itself, raising both hands in a desperate attempt to block the onslaught, but Broken kept hammering away, each punch breaking down its defenses. An Agility-type fighter like this Bloodfiend didn’t have much Constitution or Stamina, making direct confrontations like this a glaring weakness.
At the same time, the crowd of Void Reaper’s supporters sprang to their feet, their excitement surging as their hero began to show his true capabilities once again.
They started cheering wildly.
“Void Reaper! You can do it!”
“Kill that bastard! You got this!”
“Void Reaper! Void Reaper!” they chanted his name in unison.
“He’s going to win!”
“He’s still the Void Reaper we know and admire, hahaha!”
“We were wrong to doubt him!”
In the row where the Shadow Wolves were seated, many of them looked genuinely shocked.
“This sucker! He’s actually using Muay Thai! That move! I’ve never seen a Native Yunatean or even a damn demon fight like that.”
“Are you sure it’s Muay Thai?”
“Yes, I’m positive. I’ve studied that martial art myself.”
“Fuck!” another cursed. “We have to hunt this player down and avenge our losses.”
“He’s definitely the one who infiltrated our expedition and killed Infernak. We’ll confirm it soon enough.”
All eyes then turned to Marlene, who had remained calm throughout the entire fight. “This match is almost over,” she said coolly. “I command every one of you to hunt down this bastard.”
Without hesitation, the entire group rose from their seats and left.
In the arena, Void Reaper had clearly established his dominance over the Bloodfiend, whose low Constitution left it no chance. The demon lay crumpled on the ground, pleading for
mercy.
“Enough! I surrender! I surrender! Please, enough!” the demon screamed hysterically, trying to fend off Void Reaper’s relentless blows with its trembling hands.
The bell rang out loudly, signaling the end of the fight, as the crowd erupted in cheers for their beloved champion.
“Void Reaper wins!” the host shouted. “Though at first, he appeared cornered, he once again proved why he’s the undefeated champion. He truly deserves this victory, with his perfect record still intact.”
The entire arena buzzed with celebration, yet Void Reaper showed no interest in basking in the glory. Instead, he began to walk away from the arena, leaving everyone in confusion.
“He should give a speech after this victory.”
“We want to hear from him!”
“Let’s chase him down and congratulate him in person!” Some of the more fanatical demons leaped from the stands, trying to pursue Broken as he exited the arena, determined to catch
up with him.
The demons rushed forward, trampling over the fallen Bloodfiend in their frenzy to catch up with Broken and congratulate him in person.
“That Void Reaper is so mysterious. I’m sure he doesn’t want to reveal his identity.”
“Yes, but I just want to congratulate him. I adore him. He’s so cool.”
“Void Reaper, please wait!”
More and more demons joined in, pouring down from the stands and heading toward the door
that led to the hallway where Void Reaper had disappeared.
“I’m sure he’s not far! Let’s catch up to him, just to say congrats.”
“Void Reaper, I love you!”
Broken sprinted down the hallway, his mind racing. He had to find a safe spot to hide and log out before things got worse. While fighting earlier, he’d caught a glimpse of the Shadow Wolves descending from the stands-there was no doubt they were coming for him.
Just then, a demon dressed in a suit was waiting for him, smiling warmly. “Mr. Void Reaper, congratulations on your victory. I’ll escort you to claim your reward.”
But Broken simply patted the man’s shoulder. “Don’t tell anyone where I went,” he said before dashing off again.
The demon stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning. After a few moments, he suddenly started jumping up and down hysterically, before collapsing to the floor in a daze. “The Void Reaper patted my shoulder… He spoke to me… He spoke to me… I’m losing it. That voice-it was so warm. I admire him so much.”
From a distance, a few figures approached quickly.
“They must be after the Void Reaper. I have to hold them off,” the demon thought as he stood
his ground.
A red-haired woman and a mage were rushing toward him.
“Void Reaper isn’t here. He went that way,” the demon said, pointing in the opposite
direction.
But the red-haired woman snapped her whip in an instant, and with a single strike, she decapitated the demon. His head rolled to the floor as she sneered.
“Shut up, your breath stinks,” Marlene said coldly, then continued running, followed closely
by Subaru.
They continued running until they finally exited the tower, still in communication with the rest of their group. After a while, Marlene abruptly stopped, frustration tightening her
expression.
“Marlene, did we lose him?” Subaru asked.
“He really thinks he can escape from me,” she muttered.
“What do you think?”
“He definitely logged out somewhere in this area. We just need to wait until he logs back in.”
At that moment, a massive shadow began to swirl on the ground around them, far larger than the two wolves Marlene usually commanded. The shadow coiled and expanded, moving erratically, but with purpose-almost like it was hunting.
“Search this entire area thoroughly,” she commanded, and the shadow immediately dispersed, slithering away to scout.
“Marlene, are you sure about using this demon to help us?” Subaru asked hesitantly.
“I’ll use anything necessary to make that bastard regret ever crossing me,” she snapped.
