Chapter 721 Hero Versus Viin [Part 4]


    "Do you think he will lose?" Derek asked Joshua, who was Rnd''s best friend.


    "He won''t," Joshua replied in a heartbeat. But despite his fast response, there was a tinge of uncertainty in his voice.


    The reason why he wanted Rnd to win was because he knew his best friend from the ground up.


    He knew how strong Rnd was. This meant that if rk could defeat him, then rk must be stronger, the mere thought of which made Joshua feel incredibly anxious.


    The Sage of the Hero Party had already simted many battles in his mind, and three out of ten battles, he managed to win against Rnd in a one-on-one fight.


    Because of this, he was very confident that if they really fought against each other, he still had a chance to win.


    This was also the reason why he wanted Rnd to win!


    Thedies, on the other hand, were equally worried. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Diana and Mildred nced at each other with anxious looks on their faces, while Shana and Erica were holding each other''s hands as if trying to assure each other that everything was going to be fine.


    They were allrades, so they wanted nothing more than to see Rnd emerge victorious in his fight against rk.


    A few minutester, Rnd''s sword made a clunking sound as it fell to the ground.


    It had be so heavy that Rnd had no choice but to let it go, or else, it would cause his downfall.


    His vision was also getting a bit blurry because rk had shifted from messing with his sense of touch to messing with his vision.


    The Scion of the Ashford n already knew that the poison had already spread enough to make Rnd feel as if his entire body was heavy as lead.


    As such, he no longer needed to continue casting this illusion on him and shifted his focus to his opponent''s vision, which made things more difficult for Rnd.


    Thirteen, who was currently sitting on a chair on the stage, was drinking some fruit juice with Pica and Pico.


    He knew that this battle would be ending very soon.


    "You fought well," rk said. "But there is always someone stronger than you."


    "I know that there is someone stronger than me," Rnd replied. "But that person is not you."


    The only person whom he would acknowledge stronger than him was Zion—no one else.


    He could admit to being defeated by Zion, but he wouldn''t admit to getting defeated by others.


    The young man even nced at the stage for a brief moment to look at the teenage boy, who seemed to be enjoying the show.


    rk also gave Zion a sidelong nce before shifting his attention to his opponent, who was on the brink of copse.


    However, he didn''t intend to lower his guard.


    He knew that the most dangerous time for any creature was when they were most desperate.


    Even a cornered mouse would bite back. Knowing that principle, he would never lower his guard even when his opponent seemed like he would copse at any moment.


    rk stomped his foot, and gray mists once again spread outward, covering the entire arena.


    This made the spectators groan because they wouldn''t be able to see what was going to happen next.


    "Finish him," ude muttered under his breath as he looked at the arena that was being covered by gray mist. "Secure victory for our n!"


    On the other hand, Thirteen narrowed his gaze as he watched the battle.


    ''At times like this, the Plot Armor of Heroes kicks in,'' Thirteen thought. ''This cheater!''


    In the end, the one whom Thirteen truly wanted to win was rk instead of Rnd.


    Although he trained Rnd to be more powerful, in his eyes, the young man had yet to suffer any hard setbacks in his life.


    He wanted rk to be THAT person to teach him a lesson that would make him understand that all was fair in love and war.


    Being righteous and fighting fair was good and all, but only those who were truly strong could back up this attitude.


    If one didn''t have the strength to support this mindset, then it would be best to not think that everyone would fight ording to your rules!


    The sound of weapons shing could be heard from within the gray mist.


    Although Rnd had already discarded his sword, the Flying Sword hovered around him, deflecting the throwing knives that rk was using from a distance.


    The Scion of the Ashford n was baiting Rnd to make his weapon fly in his direction.


    The moment he did that, rk would finally go for the kill, ending this battle once and for all.


    But what he nned to do didn''t happen.


    Something else happened instead, which caught himpletely by surprise.


    His flying daggersnded on Rnd''s body, embedding themselves deep in his flesh.


    rk hadn''t aimed for any vital parts, but the ces where he aimed were critical locations, which would definitely hurt and make his opponent feel a world of pain.


    Rnd, who had been hit, fell on his back andy on the ground unmoving.


    rk observed his opponent and wondered if he had identally killed Rnd.


    The young man frowned and moved closer to get a better look.


    Once he confirmed that Rnd wasn''t dead and had merely fallen unconscious, he would immediately disperse the gray mist so that he could immediately seek medical help.


    When he was only a few meters away from the young man, Rnd''s closed eyes suddenly opened.


    Rnd''s eyes shone golden, making rk feel that something bad was going to happen.


    He immediately backed away, but just as he thought he had safely distanced himself from his opponent, Rnd had propped himself up from the ground and nced in his direction.


    A momentter, the young man vanished from where he stood and reappeared right in front of rk.


    rk was caught by surprise, but he still managed to regain hisposure in the blink of an eye and shed his sword in front of him.


    His reaction was fairly quick, but his eyes widened in shock at the oue that he didn''t foresee.


    Rnd caught the de of rk''s sword between his thumb and index finger.


    Thirteen, who was watching this from the stage, clicked his tongue in annoyance before muttering under his breath.


    "Cheater."


    rk might not know what was happening, but how could Thirteen not know?


    He had seen it countless times in the past, and this was the one thing that he hated about heroes.


    It was whenever their Plot Armor suddenly activated, allowing them to ovee adversities that should''ve been impossible for them to ovee.
