Lord of the Sky City - Chapter 249 248: One Against Nine!

“Eight left.”

Rocky turned to face the remaining eight competitors. He activated his Magic Energy Shield in his right hand and drew out his Mana Sword with his left, switching his White Demon Armor to melee mode!

“So… so terrifying…”

In the face of his counterattack, at least three of the remaining eight competitors couldn’t help but take two steps back!

Just as these three competitors were muttering, Rocky at this moment was truly terrifying!

It wasn’t his appearance that was so frightening but the strength he had burst forth within an instant…

Although Rocky had only eliminated one competitor, think about how he had done so. He had crossed the entire arena at an extremely high speed and then, relying solely on the impact, flung his target out of the ring.

During this process, none of the competitors on the stage had time to react. They only saw a white blur fly past their eyes, that was all. By the time they came to their senses, the unfortunate individual Rocky had targeted was already out of the arena…

What did this mean?

It meant the gap between them was too vast!

Although it wasn’t clear what generation of Armor Rocky was wearing, that moment on the stage made one thing clear to all the competitors—they were no match for Rocky in aerial combat due to differences in experience and control, but on the ground, the drastic difference in Armor also made it impossible for them to contend with Rocky!

So when Rocky revealed his melee weapons, many competitors were afraid, truly afraid.

But this time, Rocky didn’t give anyone a chance. He suddenly burst forward, charging towards another competitor with great ferocity!

“Damn it!”

Realizing that Rocky had targeted him this time, Powerful Peter quickly positioned his shield in front of his chest, steadying himself for defense.

It must be said, among these people, if one were to speak of individual strength and experience, besides Rocky, Peter was the strongest. He had, after all, participated in the preliminary rounds multiple times and clashed with true masters—his reactions and countermeasures were much faster than the average person.

Just as Peter had just set himself in a defensive position, ready to withstand Rocky’s charge, a scream came from behind him!

Indeed, Rocky had targeted Peter, but it was merely a feint. His real target was someone hiding behind Peter.

He remembered this guy—he had been trying to sneak attack Rocky during the aerial combat, almost succeeding several times. Now he was cleverly hidden behind Peter’s large frame, surely looking for another opportunity to sneak attack. Rocky naturally couldn’t ignore such a person.

So as he charged at Peter and in the instant he got to him, Rocky leaped into the air, flipped over Peter, and then accelerated once more. Just like before, he slammed into his target with his Magic Energy Shield, sending them flying!

With just this move, Rocky demonstrated his exceptional control over the Armor and the superior performance of the White Demon Armor to perfection. Keep in mind, he was at top speed when charging at Peter. At such a high velocity, not only did he manage to change direction abruptly, but he also exerted force again after the change of direction. These actions required a lot from both himself and the Armor—most people or ordinary Armors simply couldn’t execute such maneuvers!

“Seven left!”

After eliminating another opponent, Rocky didn’t pause for a moment, but turned and aimed at a third target. Accelerating around a bend, he charged toward the nearest contestant, then raised his Magic Energy Shield just as before, obviously intending to ram this person off the stage as well.

But this time, the opponent’s reaction was also very quick. Noticing Rocky charging towards him, and just as Rocky was about to reach him, he leaped into the air.

However, just as the opponent had barely reached midair and before he had a chance to take a breath, he found his ankle was grabbed!

Yes, as soon as this contestant leaped into the air, Rocky followed suit, leaping up and grabbing the man’s ankle, then whirling around in the air several times, and like throwing a shot put, he hurled his opponent out.

There was a thunderous crash as the thrown contestant, unable to adjust in midair, slammed into the spectator’s Defensive Net. Not only was he knocked unconscious, but he also suffered a disappointing elimination.

“Six left!”

Having dispatched another opponent, Rocky pressed on without missing a beat, diving towards his next target!

“You wish!”

However, at that moment, Powerful Peter roared and charged up from the ground, interrupting Rocky’s momentum with a downward slash of his sword.

“What are you standing around for? Do you want him to knock you off one by one?”

After intercepting Rocky, Powerful Peter swung his sword and shouted at the remaining contestants. Clearly, while others were getting cold feet, Peter showed no signs of backing down.

He had entered the preliminary matches too many times; he desired victory too keenly.

Reminded by his shout, the three brothers were the first to react, converging from three different directions, and the other two did the same.

In truth, like Peter, those daring to participate in the Arena’s contests did not come to play games with their lives at stake. While each contestant had different motivations for competing, they all sought the same outcome: victory!

In such a situation, regardless of Rocky’s display of formidable strength, his opponents were just as unwilling to give up!

There was a clang as Peter’s sword struck down, hitting Rocky’s Magic Energy Shield. Rocky had to take two steps back; Peter’s brute strength was indeed frightening, and it wasn’t easy to handle when caught off guard.

As Rocky retreated two steps and before he could steady himself, long swords thrust at him from both sides, wielded by two of the brothers who had already surrounded him.

It must be said that the strength of these three brothers was also quite remarkable. The simultaneous thrusts from the left and right were not actually simultaneous – there was a sequence. If Rocky thought he could dodge both swords at the same time, he’d be sorely mistaken; if he tried, he’d undoubtedly be hit by one of them.

Fortunately, Rocky didn’t make such a move. Facing two accurately angled and sequentially timed thrusts, he deftly ducked and, using his Armor for reverse propulsion, shot backwards a meter, avoiding the encirclement.

It was a pity that just as he had escaped the brothers’ joint attack, he sensed danger from behind. Another contestant viciously swung a long sword at his back, forcing Rocky to quickly somersault on the spot, flipping midair to evade the strike.

“Absolutely thrilling! This is just spectacular!”

As Rocky and the other contestants engaged in close combat, the announcer outside the Arena couldn’t contain his excitement, shouting loudly. The series of offensive and defensive maneuvers were indeed spectacular, not solely because of Rocky’s performance. The others who were attacking him were also impressing, which is why the announcer stood up in his excitement, as if only by doing so could he thoroughly commentate on such an exciting match!
