SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

The entire Grand Arena was alive with excitement. It's not every day you see a revenge fight like this, especially when it costs someone 10 spirit coins just for pride with no other benefits. As the word spread, more and more people started rushing towards the central Arena.

Everywhere you looked, there were images of Kent and Tang flashing across the screens, visible through the magical Aurora glasses that were present all over the Arena and several smaller fighting rings around the Arena.

Even a post was created in the Grand Arena Forum, attracting a large number of audience. Inside the Arena, the crowd was getting louder, chanting "fight, fight, fight..." in unison, the anticipation building with each shout.

However, not everyone was caught up in the frenzy. Many believed that Kent would never accept this challenge. After all, Tang was a 3rd-stage Master Magus, two levels higher than Kent. It seemed like a mismatch.

At that moment, amidst the growing clamor, Larry made his way through. He had just arrived, right behind Fatty Ben, and was now desperately trying to convince him to refuse the revenge fight, known in the Arena as "Instant Justice."

But inside his mind, Larry is praying for Kent to accept this challenge. He spent 10 spirit stones to set up this revenge match against Kent.

"Listen to me, Ben. Tang is two levels higher than your master, Kent. Don't let him fight this losing battle. They were trying to set up Kent to injure him badly." Larry spoke in a concerned tone while staring at Fatty.

Fatty, with a confused face, turned towards Kent, who is seriously observing Larry. Kent felt something is wrong with Larry's behavior on first notice.

"Master, his name is Larry. A rank-five gambler. He helped me a lot to understand the Arena. Also, he is the one who helped me to set up your first match." Fatty introduced Larry to Kent.

As Larry greeted Kent with pleasing dialogue, Kent silently nodded his head and turned towards Arena.

"2:13… 2:12… 2:11…"

The clock continued to run down on the Aurora glass. Kent has already decided to fight this match, as he also wants to check his strength against a higher-level Magus.

"Young Master Kent, the Arena is all about reputation. Losing a revenge match will damage your reputation." Larry replied in a concerned tone while acting all friendly.

Kent completely ignored Larry and turned towards Fatty Ben. "You know what to do. Cash out as much as you can." Kent replied with a confident nod and stepped inside the Arena.

Just as Kent stepped into the fighting ring, the red colour Arena erupted with celebratory lighting and fireworks, which is customary magic set up for revenge fights.

"Ohh…" The crows erupted with a loud beating noise, and the arbiter began announcing the rules for the Instant Justice fight.

"Yes…" Zi Chen, who is watching the scene through a glass orb, gritted his teeth as Kent fell into their trap of revenge match.

As it is a sudden challenge, a ten-minute break will be given to let the gamblers earn big. A new timer began running on Aurora Glass, and all the audience turned towards the gambling store situated close to the fighting ring.

As expected, the golden rat flag hoisted on the side and a 1:3 ratio were displayed on the top of Fatty's gambling store.

Fatty Ben, leaning on the magic circle, began making an announcement to stir up the crowd. "I'm here to challenge you again! Try your luck once more with this Instant Justice fight. Do you dare to bet? Do you have the guts? I'm brave enough to offer 1:3 returns even though my master's opponent is two levels higher than him.

Are you brave enough?" His words, filled with arrogance and challenge, sparked a frenzy.

Outside the gambling store, a line quickly formed as people rushed to place their bets. Inside, Fatty's hands moved swiftly, stamping his golden rat symbol alongside each betting amount on the slips.

The jars on the counter started to fill with spirit stones as the amount wagered skyrocketed, all of it displayed on the big Aurora glass screen of the Arena for all to see.

Meanwhile, in the Arena, Kent and Tang stood at opposite ends while gazing at each other. The crowd's murmurs grew louder as the clock ticked down slowly. The arbiter, a stern figure with his hands folded behind his back, stood in the middle, watching them intently.

Tang, armed with a long, stout mace, stood proudly atop a winged white antelope. A firm expression played on his face as he thought about Larry's instructions to losing this fight in the end.

"59… 58… 57…" The time count reached under one minute, but still, a long queue stood before Fatty's store. The total amount reached a whopping 225 spirit stones. A lot higher than the previous fight.

The uproar increased as the clock reached its end. "10... 9... 8..." Instead of waiting for the fight to begin, Larry already began walking towards the administration hall to issue a second revenge match by paying a 100 spirit stones price. He is not a bit worried about losing spirit stones, as he can earn big in the last fight against Zi Chen.

"3… 2… 1…" Loud fire crackers fired into the sky, and Arena changed its color. The crowd erupted by releasing celebratory fires into the skies with their wands.

"You may begin…" The arbiter moved to the edge of the Arena with a loud shout.

"Adrishya Haathi Dhava" [Ethereal Elephant stampede]

The fighter named Tang shouted loudly as he released a high-ranking spell which consumes a lot of Aura. While Tang casting aura, the winged antelope took him into skies.

Tens of different animal aura spirits formed in all directions of Arena and began rushing towards Kent. A massive elephant glowing in orange outline is leading the attack from the ground, and a big rock beast burning in purple energy element is rushing from the sky along with several companion spirits.

"Good God! He is doomed. Several onlookers thought it is the end for Kent. Even Fatty opened his mouth wide as he stared at tens of Aura beasts, ready to strike Kent.
