Around this time, the match was heading for the climax. In fact, I had wanted to avoid using this as much as possible. It was a skill that Romelana gave me to use. However, I refrained from using it because I tried it once on the boat and collapsed due to the side effects. This was one of the reasons I often meditated during my voyage from the North Pole to Fortren. It was a skill that put a lot of pressure on me.

“Sigh...” This was just why I needed to finish it sooner. It was an all-out surprise offensive.

“It’s terrifying! Huhuhu.” Reinhardt laughed as he watched the black night wolves’ icy fangs emitting a blue chill. He had a look of desire on his face. No, maybe it was an expectant expression. Reinhardt was as much a fighting maniac as Gyeonso Dragon.

[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is looking at you.]

“It has been a while, Romelana.”

[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is asking if Aldebaran has appeared.]

“No, I just called because I needed some strength. I have to knock this person down.”

[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ is nodding.]

The star spirit I hadn’t felt in a long time surrounded me. As I said before, the star spirit of a third-grade constellation was blue, a second-grade was light purple, and a first-grade was red. Romelana had risen to first-grade, so her red star spirit flowed through my entire body.

[The black night heart piece fused with you has started pumping.]

[The use of excessive force can cause side effects to your body.]

[After five minutes, pain might occur.]

At the same time, five giant black night wolves turned their heads toward me. I saw this and realized these guys were enormous. Last time, I felt they would become as big as Remus. I commanded them in my head to strike at Reinhardt in front of me. In response, the giant black night wolves started to move. They rushed toward Reinhardt at a fierce pace.

“Good. Good. Idiots! Come on!”

Reinhardt became Pepsiman again like I saw the other day. It seemed the ancient giant’s shield was wrapped around his body like last time. In fact, elbaprium wasn’t an easy mineral to handle. Perhaps this was his unique ability. Well, it was just this.

“I think there will be a strain in my heart if I use the wind...”

Then I would have to use something else.

[The low-grade dark magic - 'Dark Arrow' has been used.]

[Dark Arrow has been transformed by the black night heart.]

This was also one of the things I learned on the ship the other day. Perhaps it was because Remus had dark-related attributes. The arrow in my hand was infused with the red star spirit and it soon became huge enough to kill the enemy. I held it strongly and pointed it at Reinhardt.

[The constellation magic ‘Black Night Arrow’ is ready to fire.]

it was called an arrow, but the size was actually closer to a spear. I aimed precisely at Reinhardt. He was engaged in a fierce battle with the giant black night wolves. It was quite impressive to see him deal an uppercut to the jaw of a black night wolf, but it seemed a bit too much to fight against five at the same time. Reinhardt’s legs were slowing down a bit due to the poisonous claws of the black night wolves.

“Sigh.”

Just then, a black night wolf opened its big mouth and aimed at Reinhardt. Reinhardt showed a gap as he used his hands to prevent the mouth from closing. Then I threw the thing in my hand without hesitation. The massive arrow that contained darkness and ice shot forward with a momentum fierce enough to tear everything around it. As it flew, the black arrow started to change. It soon became the mouth of a giant wolf as it reached Reinhardt.

“This—shit...”

Those were Reinhardt’s final words. The fierce arrow caused a crack in the barrier, penetrated the ground, and engraved a giant wolf’s teeth mark on the audience seats. Fortunately, no one was hurt because they were evacuated in advance. At the same time, the barrier was destroyed! It crumbled with a loud sound.

In the serene silence, the sound of a trumpet echoed the end of the match. The audience’s shouts and dazzling camera flashes burst out endlessly.

“This is crazy...” Supreme Fire Dragon’s mouth dropped open as he hid among the audience members and watched the match. He felt something beyond surprise and couldn’t close his mouth. He never dreamed that the old man would be so powerful.

He flew out of the stadium and lay down to look at Reinhardt, who was being treated. The enormous steel skill he was wearing was torn to pieces, leaving a huge stab wound in his abdomen. The injuries were quite serious. He could see priests treating him by pouring potions.

“Ah, this will disrupt the plan...”

In fact, Supreme Fire Dragon had received an order from Aidan to attack the old man outside the Colosseum along with his soldiers. The reason he was here now was to understand the situation inside. Kaidan might have private soldiers, but Aidan was currently at odds with him. Once the plan failed, Aidan didn’t give him the promised shares in the casino and Kaidan was devastated by the damage.

However, it was completely different if the old man had the power to kill the main tanker of the Zeus Guild, considered the best guild in the current Arkstar. A lot different. Very very different.

-Supreme Fire Dragon: One Fire, tell the kids. We will pretend to fight and then fall back.

-One Fire: Huh? Big Brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean by falling back?

-Supreme Fire Dragon: The old man’s power is beyond my imagination. We probably won’t be able to beat the old man even if we attack with Aidan’s soldiers.

-One Fire: I-Is that so?

-Supreme Fire Dragon: Yes. The moment we fall back, clean up the ongoing cigarette business. We will go somewhere else.

-One Fire: Where will we go?

-Supreme Fire Dragon:...Let me think. We will go to the Orca Kingdom.

-One Fire: I see. Then I will tell the kids. Goodbye.

The whisper was cut off and Supreme Fire Dragon moved his gaze back to the stage. There was a man in a wolf’s mask standing on the right. The words ‘Dark Wolf’ continued to emerge from the audience members’ mouths as Supreme Fire Dragon thought about it.

Why was the old man hiding his power? It was unknown. Still, one thing was for certain. This old man should never be touched.

“...Shit. Let’s never meet again.”

Supreme Fire Dragon turned around and exited the Colosseum. He walked through the dark passage while thinking of the famous saying of martial arts novels he read in the past.

“...The first rule of Jianghu. In Jianghu, watch out for the children, women and elderly people.”

One of those elderly people was the old man. An old man who felt like a great master was absolutely never ordinary. Supreme Fire Dragon felt the strong demeanor of a great master who could annihilate a whole sect from the old man. He continued to walk while thinking.

Once again, he prayed that he would never encounter that old man in the future.

After the cheers from the audience and the persistent camera flashes from the reporters, I walked through the dark passage to the waiting room only to come across a familiar face.

“Uwah! I saw your match! You were truly great. The best, the best!” Mido smiled brightly while bouncing around on both feet.

My granddaughter praised me for being great and I couldn’t help raising my shoulders with pride. I spoke in a low voice like the other day, “Thank you.”

“Ah, it’s nothing. Aren’t you the one who fought really well? It was really exciting! It is the first time I’ve ever seen Reinhardt fall down from one blow. Ah, I should’ve recorded this... Ugh, it is a waste.” She cried out with a regretful expression.

It was so cute that I smiled.

Then she looked up. “Ah, right. Do you have time this weekend? I am going to do the YouTube broadcast I mentioned last time. It is around 6 o’clock in real time...”

Mido nervously touched her two index fingers together. I smiled and nodded. “Come to Metheus on that day.”

“Uwah! Really?! Thank you! Yes!” Once again, Mido jumped around with her hands clasped together. This was good. Haha.

Then an NPC appeared behind her and spoke asked, “The next participant. Is Player Mido here?”

“Ah, yes. That’s me!”

“Please be prepared. Your turn is coming soon.”

“Yep!”

Come to think of it, Mido’s match was next. Her opponent was that damn clown. I told her in a worried tone, “You should be careful. He is stronger than you.”

“I know, but I won’t give up so easily. I have a swordsmanship teacher. We’ve been training for a few days and I almost died. I will try to beat him. Hihit.”

I knew the identity of her swordsmanship teacher, so I could only laugh. Nevertheless, I was worried as her grandfather, and had to say something to her. “If it is dangerous, then just fall off the field. I’m not the one saying this. It is your grandfather’s request.”

“Huhu, aren’t you the one worried?”

“......”

“There is no need to hide that you like me. Who knows? Perhaps my heart will change. Ahh, I’m so pretty that I should wear a mask.” Mido blushed and placed both hands on her cheeks. I didn’t want to say this because she was my granddaughter, but she really had the princess disease. It was more severe than I thought and I couldn’t help sighing.

Then the NPC from before reappeared. “Player Mido, you can enter now. Where is Mad Dog? Ah, here he is.”

Just in time, that damn clown came walking over. I glared at him before saying goodbye to Mido.

“...Then I’m going. Have strength.”

“Thank you! See you later!”

Mido waved to see me off. I walked through the dark passage while waving one hand behind my back. Then the moment I made eye contact with the damn clown, I tripped him with my leg. Perhaps because it was an unexpected attack, Mad Dog stumbled and smashed his forehead against the wall. I pretended like I didn’t know and whistled while moving forward.

“Ugh, you shit...! Hey! You there! Stop!”

I heard the voice filled with anger behind me, but I pretended not to know. I raised my right hand and rubbed my ears slowly. Then I smiled and walked into the waiting room in a light-hearted manner.
