Chapter 510: Investigation
On the stage, only the sound of Kitajo’s breathing could be heard. In the wisdom stream of mirror heart, only he could predict the opponent’s attack and play with the opponent.
However, the current situation was that he was being played by Lei Luo. This was something that Kitajo could not accept. He would rather be defeated by Lei Luo’s magic than allow himself to be defeated by Lei Luo in such a way.
He calmed himself down and let go of the knife in his hand. He took out a test tube containing a purple potion from his pocket. This was given to him by the Nakajima family head. He had planned to use it in the finals, but it seemed that he could not wait until that time.
After drinking the potion in one gulp, Kitajo’s body began to show unnatural blue veins. His blood vessels were also expanding. Lei Luo only watched this scene and did not interrupt him.
He wanted to see what other tricks this Ichiro had up his sleeve, but the aura on his body made Lei Luo feel uncomfortable. Moreover, there was an aura of magic condensation on his body that should never have appeared.
“You should be proud of being able to make me use the magic potion.”
Ichiro suppressed his painful moans and curled up his body, suppressing his voice.
He threw down the knife at his waist and charged straight at Lei Luo. Lei Luo raised the knife horizontally and pointed it at Ichiro’s chest.
A claw condensed from magic appeared on Ichiro’s hand. In Lei Luo’s eyes, this was a very crude way to use magic. It was a method that no mage would use.
It was this method that made Lei Luo feel a sense of danger. The knife in his hand trembled involuntarily. This was an expression of excitement.
The claw was aimed at Lei Luo’s head. It was as if it wanted to explode on his head. Lei Luo forced his body forward to block the claw. The tremendous force made Lei Luo’s hands tremble.
He added three additional spells to his body: [ power boost ] ! [ muscle control ] ! [ hardening ] !
The three intermediate spells reduced Lei Luo’s mana by 10%. However, under such circumstances, Lei Luo continued to block Kitou’s attacks.
After a few rounds, as he endured the violent attacks, he looked at Kitajo’s blood-red eyes. Lei Luo knew that Kitajo had already lost the ability to control this power, so he did not want to show him any mercy.
With one slash, he was sent flying. With the support of [ gravity control ], the blade in Lei Luo’s hand became as light as a feather, splitting open his opponent’s blood vessels. Otherwise, he would still be sent off the stage by Hojo’s attacks.
This kind of power made Lei Luo feel troubled. He did not know whose work this was. He sighed and stopped watching Hojo fall off the stage.
The audience below the stage was already numb. In their eyes, Hojo, who should have been invincible, had lost just like that. This was something they could not accept.
However, their respect for the strong still made them suppress the thought of provoking Lei Luo. Although they did not see Lei Luo kill anyone, they knew that this was just the strong showing mercy to the weak.
After sheathing his blade, he said to the dumbfounded Masanori Sakamoto, “Let’s go.”
Only then did Masanori Sakamoto come back to his senses. He followed Lei Luo and asked curiously, “What level are you?”
Masanori Sakamoto had long known that Lei Luo was a magician, but now that he looked at him, it seemed like Lei Luo’s magic level was very high.
“Guess.”
He stopped talking to Masanori Sakamoto and focused on studying the flaws in the battle just now.
The following matches were very boring. There were some who started off with harsh words, some who directly forfeited, and one who wanted to become a disciple.
In fact, after fighting one person, today’s match was almost over. They just had to wait until tomorrow’s match, which would be the 100 to 10.
After Ichiro Kitajo was carried away, the referee’s seat gave him another chance to enter another group. He also got the chance to enter the next day’s match.
This time, he looked exhausted but still defeated the winner of the other group. He didn’t know if there was an inside story, but Lei Luo didn’t care because the three family heads invited him to the high platform to chat.
“What an exciting competition. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a blood-boiling competition.”
The seemingly weak Nakajima family head squinted his eyes at Lei Luo and said, “I don’t deserve it.”
The Takeda family head said to Lei Luo, “If you haven’t thought about joining the northern border, there are many outsiders like you among our hangers-on. The treatment is very good.”
“I’m not interested in considering it for the time being. If you want, you must consider the Takeda family head’s opinion first.”
“Okay.”
The Takeda family head laughed loudly and took a big gulp of the wine in his hand. The Sakakami family head, who was beside him, did not seem to care about it. His eyes were wandering.
Master Nakajima’s eyes drifted unconsciously as he asked in a seemingly casual manner, “May I know what level of mage Mr. James Is?”
“A mere level-five mage is nothing,” Lei Luo replied respectfully.
“Then you really are a young hero. I didn’t expect Mr. Lei Luo to have such a high talent in magic. This makes me want to rope him in even more.”
The Nakajima family head also smiled, but his fingers kept knocking on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the three family heads, Lei Luo quickly returned to the stage.
The Takeda family head spoke first. “Do you think he’s someone sent by the Elders Guild?”
The Nakajima family head pursed his lips and said, “It doesn’t seem like it. The Elders Guild won’t appear at the martial arts conference, but in the backyard of the general’s residence.”
The Takeda family head asked the Nakajima family head in an inquisitive tone, “Then should we make a move against him? or report it to the general.”
“Let’s wait and see. The current situation is still unclear. I hope that the Sakakami family can make a wise decision. Otherwise, they won’t want us to disregard the past.”
The Nakajima family head’s tone was very indifferent, but the meaning of his threat to the Sakakami family was very obvious.
“I just don’t want the northern borderline to fall into the flames of war again.”
The Sakurazaka family sighed. This was not the first time the Nakajima family had questioned them.
“This is no longer a question of whether we are willing or not. The gate of the Devil realm is about to be completely opened.”
“Plus, the empire is about to fall into chaos. We have guarded the gate for the empire for so long, isn’t it enough to offset our sins? Does the general mean that we should still be enslaved by the Empire?”
“She’s just a brat who doesn’t know anything. If she doesn’t cooperate with the Devil Realm, once the gate of the Devil Realm opens, everyone in the northern border won’t be able to escape!”
The master of the Nakajima family’s tone became fierce. His palm landed heavily on the table. It seemed that the master of Sakakami family didn’t agree and wanted to start a war right then and there.
“I still need some time to think about it. Let me figure it out.”
The master of the Nakajima family only let out a breath of turbid air before he stood up and walked down the stage.
