Chapter 393: Chapter 393: The Powerful Minotaur, Unexpected Encounter with Cand-Dragon
"Not interested." John glanced at the bet but felt no inclination to get involved.
"Then how about this?" Sini wore a playful smile, her expression mysterious as she took out a USB drive.
John's eyes lit up - it had to be the 20 G videos from Malina.
"Cough, cough." He cleared his throat a few times, his face turning serious as he said, "In that case, let's play."
He casually took out a Magic Core and a Crystal Ball of Laws, placing his bet on the Minotaur's victory.
"Hmph!" Sini snorted coldly, glaring at John.
He, however, kept his eyes straight ahead, focusing on the battle.
Spoorate, curious, asked, "Big brother, what kind of treasure is that?"
She had never seen anything like it, but if it caught John's attention, it had to be something valuable.
John felt a little awkward, coughing twice. "Little girl, don't ask too many questions."
"I'm fourteen, not a little kid!" Spoorate protested, dissatisfied.
Meanwhile, in the arena, the Minotaur's attacks became more and more ferocious. He swung his dual war hammers like a storm, forcing the white-haired woman to retreat repeatedly.
Shouts of anger could be heard from the crowd, clearly because many had bet on the white- haired woman to win.
"Sini, you're going to lose," Spoorate said, her eyes flicking nervously to the Magic Cores in front of her.
Sini remained unfazed, replying coolly, "Don't worry, it's not over yet. This white-haired woman's Soul Technique isn't weak. She's clearly skilled in soul attacks. The Minotaur's current approach is too aggressive and will soon tire him out. When that happens, he'll definitely lose."
"Is that so?" Spoorate tilted her head, focusing intently on the battlefield. But she couldn't see anything that suggested the tide would turn.
She turned to John with a puzzled expression, asking, "Big brother, do you think the Minotaur might really lose?"
She was starting to worry. These Magic Cores were her entire fortune.
John, however, remained calm, unconcerned. "Just wait and see."
As Sini had predicted, the battle began to turn.
The Minotaur seemed to be tiring, his relentless storm of attacks faltering.
The white-haired woman seized the opportunity. Her staff danced, and the powerful energy of laws surged forth. Several magical attacks rained down on the Minotaur, pounding him relentlessly.
The Minotaur raised his war hammers to defend, but he was forced back.
Boom! Boom!
The ground shook with each blow as the Minotaur was sent stumbling backward.
Hum!
Then, a surge of soul power struck him. The Minotaur stood frozen in place, dazed, as if struck by a devastating blow.
"Die!" The white-haired woman shouted with a cold glare, her staff transforming into a sharp blade as it aimed directly for the Minotaur's forehead.
It was over!
Many in the crowd despaired upon seeing this, but others, eager for the outcome, stood up in excitement, preparing to cheer.
But just as the white-haired woman's staff was about to strike, the Minotaur's confused expression suddenly cleared, and a mocking smile crept across his face.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind howled as his giant war hammer was raised high and brought crashing down.
"Mm?" The white-haired woman's eyes widened in shock as she hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late. The distance was too close for her to escape in time.
That cunning Minotaur had tricked her!
This was the last thought that crossed her mind.
Boom!
The war hammer crashed down with tremendous force, shattering her body into a heap of bloody, shattered remains.
The sudden turn of events left the crowd in the stands frozen for a moment, before it erupted in a chorus of roars.
Such brutal methods stirred their blood, exactly what they had been waiting for - a bloody spectacle.
"What a vicious move!" Sini's eyelids twitched. She hadn't expected the Minotaur to actually win.
"Sini, you lost!" Spoorate was visibly excited, her eyes fixed greedily on the pile of Magic Cores.
"Hmph, a bet's a bet." Sini sneered, casting a hard glare at John, feeling like she had been tricked.
Spoorate and Tracy immediately began splitting the Magic Cores in front of her.
The arena was filled with a series of deafening crashes, blood splattering, and wild winds
howling, lifting sand and stones into the air. For a moment, the spectators could hardly see
what was happening.
At that moment, John stood up and moved toward the edge of the arena. The women, still confused, followed him closely.
"Sini, when the time comes, enter my World-in-Hand," John whispered, his tone calm yet
urgent.
Sini was puzzled, but nodded in agreement without asking further.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive crash echoed as two giant war hammers fell, followed by the shadow of a
gigantic black dragon that broke through the arena's cage and charged at the soldiers
guarding the outer perimeter.
"Not good, these two are trying to escape!" The soldiers snapped to attention, quickly
surrounding the arena, preparing to take action.
John's figure suddenly appeared, and with a surge of Spatial power, he directly transported Cand-Dragon, the Minotaur Storm, and Sini into his World-in-Hand.
When the two had been fighting, he had already sensed their intentions.
Whoosh...
The violent wind dissipated, and the surroundings became clear. However, Cand-Dragon and
Storm had vanished without a trace.
The leading soldier's expression changed drastically as he shouted angrily, "Quick, block this
place! We can't let those two escape!"
These two were powerful and closely monitored. They had tried to escape more than once,
and the city lord had specifically warned them that if they managed to flee, there would be
severe punishment.
The crowd became agitated as soldiers poured in from all directions, surrounding the entire
arena to prevent anyone from leaving.
John and his companions were also trapped. He remained calm, showing no sign of resistance.
If he truly wanted to leave, these soldiers wouldn't be able to stop him.
Tracy and Spoorate quickly realized that this was all part of John's plan, and they didn't ask
any further questions.
The chaos continued around them. In the crowd, some people attempted to resist, only to be
immediately slain by the soldiers. Everyone else settled down, obediently cooperating with the soldiers' searches, too afraid to offer even the slightest opposition.
...
Inside World-in-Hand, Cand-Dragon and Storm were ready to unleash destruction. However,
upon seeing the unfamiliar surroundings, they both froze in place.
Had they failed again?
Storm clenched his massive war hammer, scanning the area with a look of grim
determination. This time, even if he had to die, he would not yield.
Buzz!
A wave of Spatial power rippled, and a figure appeared before them. "Huh, Sini?" Cand-Dragon recognized the person instantly. His eyes widened in shock and
joy. He then asked, puzzled, "Where are we?"
Sini spoke calmly, "World-in-Hand."
"Is Godslayer here too?" Cand-Dragon suddenly realized something, and the anxiety that had
been hanging over him finally lifted.
Beside them, Storm furrowed his brow, still not daring to relax. In a low, rumbling voice, he
asked, "Cand-Dragon, brother, are we safe now?"
Cand-Dragon nodded. The two of them had quietly planned this operation for a long time. They hadn't expected to run into John, and with no bloodshed, they had managed to escape.
