Chapter 873: Shocking Everyone (Ko-Fi Bonus)
Waa~
The sound waves were lightening fast. The moment Rima cast her spell, they hit Aleena’s rippling water barrier and quite effortlessly…
Rip!!
Ripped it into pieces. With nothing in the way and Aleena and her Turnip unable to react on time, taken completely off guard, the sound waves hit them.
Wah!
Immediately, Turnip’s eyes became dazed while Aleena felt the world spin around her and before she knew it, she had fallen on her knees and was coughing out blood. She could also feel that if the waves didn’t stop, blood would be flowing out of her nose, ears and eyes too.
Fortunately…
Swoosh!
The sound waves stopped. Just as she wanted to get back on her feet and cast a spell to ease her and Turnip’s discomfort, she felt a hand touch her head.
Then, Rima’s calm though a bit hoarse voice sounded, “You’ve lost.”
Aleena raised her head. When she saw that apart from looking a bit pale, Rima seemed completely fine and her aura and mana fluctuations were also almost as calm as before, her pupils constricted and she bit her tongue before nodding.
“Yes, I have.”
…
Not to mention the low rankers and others, even 25th ranker Kayla, 19th ranker Desmond and 11th ranker Willy, were staring at the arena, astonishment clear on their faces.
“A sound elementalist…” They muttered under their breath in unison, their eyes flickering.
The sound elemental mages were quite rare, but they had still encountered a few on their adventures outside. However, none of them were as impressive as Rima, able to instantly incapacitate someone whole three minor realms above herself.
Of course, they knew Aleena being not prepared for it was also a factor, but it didn’t make the feat Rima achieved any less impressive.
’Maybe I should try poaching her?’ Willy thought but then he glanced at Desmond and Kayla and decided not to.
’It would be more fun watching their struggle.’ His lips curled up.
Right then, he felt a few burning gazes lock on to him.
’Hm?’ His brows raised, he looked over and when he recognised their owners to be the people who had bet on Rima’s, his expression fell.
’My money…!’ He cried out in his heart.
…
Desmond took a deep breath and glanced at Kayla, whose eyes were fixated on Rima in the arena.
His gaze deepening, he transmitted to his followers. [Go. Find out everything about this girl as soon as possible.]
[Yes, young master.]
Immediately, they stood up and flew out of the coliseum.
[I see that your eyes are as sharp as ever, Kayla.] Desmond then transmitted to Kayla, his face devoid of any expression.
Ha~!
Kayla took a deep breath.
Though she had very faintly felt something from Rima which had made her curious about her, she hadn’t imagined she would turn out to be such a genius.
However… Desmond didn’t need to know this. So, she turned to him and gave him a polite smile, [Thank you for the praise, Sir Desmond.]
Desmond’s gaze darkened, but then he smiled, [Is it true that you have just met her?]
Kayla’s lips curled up, knowing what was going on in his mind, [So what if it is?]
Desmond didn’t respond and shifted his gaze back to Rima.
…
Weng~
Following her words, Aleena used her divine sense and accepted her defeat, causing the arena barrier to buzz open.
Rima removed her hand, turned around and walked out, leaving Aleena staring at her back, feeling complicated inside.
After a few moments, she smiled bitterly and shook her head before patting Turnip’s shell, [You alright, Turnip?]
[Yes. I’m good, sister. What about you?] A young, girlish voice asked back.
[No worries. Just need to meditate for an hour or two and I’ll be fine.] Aleena replied, [Now, go rest.]
Swoosh!
With a wave of her hand, she sent Turnip into her beast storage ring, wiped the blood off her lips and walked out of the arena.
…
People have already flocked over to Willy’s booth, but when they saw Rima walk over, they shifted to the sides.
Rima silently nodded in thanks, arrived in front of Willy and handed him her badge.
Willy took the badge, swiped it on the box on his table and as he handed it back to her, he said, “Miss Rima, I assume there is no need to introduce myself since miss Kayla must have told you about me already—”
“No. She hasn’t. I only know your name and that you facilitate betting.” Rima shook her head.
Willy awkwardly looked at her before coughing lightly and continuing, “Ahem, that’s no problem since I was going to introduce myself anyway.”
“I’m Wilson Grant, and everyone calls me Willy, which I prefer. You can do the same if you wish.” He put his right hand across his chest and bowed lightly in greeting.
Then he took out a communication crystal and offered it to her, “As you said, I facilitate the betting and if I say so myself, am quite trustworthy. So, if you are ever in need of my services, you can contact me.”
“Thank you.” Rima took the crystal, nodded in thanks and turned around and left.
’Not too friendly, huh?’ Shaking his head, he sat down in the chair and began handing the winnings to the lucky people.
’Why did she have to show so much trust in her? Couldn’t she have acted as if she didn’t know it and Miss Rima had called me over? I would’ve won quite some merits that way.’
Once he was done, he checked the amount he had left after excluding 20,000 merits, Kayla’s winnings, and nodded in satisfaction.
’I guess this is not too bad.’
…
Rima met Kayla and Nia on her way back to her seat.
“Congratulations on your spectacular win, milady!” Nia excitedly congratulated her.
Rima nodded at her. She then looked at Kayla who said, “That was very impressive and… unexpected if I have to be honest.”
Rima nodded and then said, “Thank you, miss Kayla for the help.”
Saying this, she took out her communication crystal and offered it to her, “If you ever need my help, please contact me. I won’t ever refuse.”
“Thank you.” Kayla took the communication crystal and was about to say something when…
Clap! Clap! Clap!
