BAI ZE was startled when he heard this voice. Because it was very familiar. He was sure that it couldn't belong to anyone else but Xia Li. Before he could think properly, his body already stood up and walked near their box' railings. He glanced from left to right looking for her.
He wondered at first why Xia Li's voice suddenly sounded so loudly like that. And then he remembered that the dragon fighting right now was her younger brother. Shouting that was probably her way to cheer on the other.
He was looking for the royal box of team Siren. Being a member of that team, he was sure that Xia Li was there. But it's not as if there was a sign hanging on every royal box saying which team was occupying it.
He turned to Su Yuqi. "Su Yuqi, do you know which one is team Siren's box?"
The other only gave him a look as if saying, 'why would I know about that?'. Never mind. He shouldn't have asked.
Instead, he just took out a binocular from his Items Tab then used it to once again looked around the royal boxes. It didn't take long before he found the one he's looking for. Opposite their box, the one at the very far right, a girl with cat ears was standing and holding a megaphone. Which she probably used when she shouted earlier. There was an annoyed look on her face, as if she was so done with her brother's shit.
Seeing that expression, added to that megaphone, Bai Ze couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xia Li was indeed pissed. How could she not after being frustrated by that idiotic brother of hers? Just look at him, he was being pummeled like that when he could easily solve his problem by breathing out fire towards his opponent. But what did he do? He just stood there!
Granted, he might have been under some kind of debuff. But again, he could easily have gotten out of that by breathing out fire!
She once again felt the frustration she felt when she watched the livestream replay of the Carnival's first round yesterday. There were a lot of chance where Xia Lei could have defeated his opponent if only he used any of his dragon related skills to attack. But no, Mr. Swordsman only needed his sword.
If she was watching the whole thing live yesterday, she would have thrown a bunch of egg on that silly brother of hers. It's a shame that she had to work on a group presentation, so she could only watch it on replay.
Seriously, when she saw his brother's match and then compared it to Noctis, she could only shake her head. At the same time, she also wanted to shake her brother's shoulder and say; 'Look at Noctis, he's the only one using a pet, did he look guilty doing that? Did he look like he's a weakling for doing so?'.
And now, Xia Lei was doing the same thing again.
That's why she could no longer bear it and shouted those words. If she didn't, then she wouldn't be his sister.
Hopefully, what she did woke that idiot up.
The moment Xia Lei heard that very familiar loud voice, he winced and then shook his head. Before laughing to himself. His sister must be really pissed right now if she had to shout like that with this huge crowd.
The invisible soundwaves were still attacking him. Although it didn't hurt, he must have looked like a complete wreck right now. He looked at his HP bar and saw that it was almost halved.
He closed his eyes, still hearing his sister's voice in his mind. He smiled deprecatingly. Yeah, he really was an idiot. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net
When he opened them, his eyes were more beastlike than it had ever been. His skin was starting to be covered by golden scales. He took a deep breath. And when he let out that breath, a spew of golden flames came out and attack Sonata.
It was so unexpected that Sonata only managed to dodge at a hair's breadth. But because of the sudden movement, the tune she was playing was interrupted. And she knew what that meant. The debuff that was holding Dragnar in place was no longer there.
She quickly raised her flute to play another tune. But before it could even touch her lips, she saw the sharp edge of a sword about to crash on her head. She managed to jump back but the trajectory of the sword changed mid-way. Instead of falling down, it suddenly thrusted towards her.
Out of reflex, she used her flute to defend herself from the incoming attack. Because she knew there's no way she could have successfully dodged it. But the moment the sword hit her flute, a slight cracking noise was heard. Her eyes widened because that sound reflected the crack that appeared on the part of the flute where the sword hit.
She couldn't believe it. Her flute was a high-grade weapon. Although it wasn't made by Vulcan, she bought it from the second ranking Blacksmith of Arcadia.
Because she could even register her surprise, flame spread out from the sword and engulfed her. But that was not the end. The sword completely broke her flute into half and then stabbed in the chest.
The last thing she saw before her whole body turned into light particles was Dragnar with a serious expression on his face. As if it took a lot of toll on him to defeat her.
[DRAGNAR WINS!] – appeared above the rink with matching falling confetti. And the crowd cheered.
Seeing that, Xia Lei finally let out a relieved sigh. Then he looked up and turned to the direction where team Siren's royal box was. Although he couldn't see his sister's face, the other must be grinning from ear to ear right now.
And somehow, that thought made this win more worthwhile.
