The Legacy System

Bloody Viper was extremely pissed off at the slap on the face he just received from Eric, as he felt that he not only had lost face in front of the whole crowd but also insulted in front of his rival.

After all, for Bloody Viper who was a thorough Realm 4 expert, only Master Heartless and people of that level could compare to him.

It wasn't that he thought too highly of himself, but that was truly the case, as there existed a big chasm between Realm 3 and Realm 4.

It couldn't be only thought of as the jump between two big Realms, but also as the window to a much wider and bigger world.

The difference between lightning inside a house with a window and one without is more than clear. For that reason, people below Realm 4 were hardly their opponents.

That was also the case for that previous Peak Realm 3 expert that had decided to surrender before he even entered the cage to fight.

Only some weirdoes like Eric were able to 'jump' levels in order to fight against these monsters, and even then it wasn't even a proper fight.

It was more like letting the poison do the fighting for him, while he just took care of that last hit, that would either leave the opponent crippled or dead.

In this fight, he would have it harder, because the person in front of him was also quite good at poisons, and it might counterattack, or use poison against him.

Even though it was a bit useless to use poison against Eric who had the health potions from the Legacy System, and also those 100 poison antidotes that he spent a fortune to buy.

With these thoughts in mind, Eric wasn't afraid of the opponent, so he was looking at him straight in the face, fearlessly.

Bloody Viper saw Eric's standing and the expression on his face, and he didn't like it in the least. In fact, not only didn't he like Eric's expression, but he also didn't like his standing.

This brat was not only extremely disrespectful towards him, but it also looked like that was what he truly thought of the situation.

Eric had a weird aura of confidence, charisma, and solid belief that what he was saying was just the truth, and he didn't like this in the least.

For that reason, he decided to defeat Eric thoroughly in body, mind, and heart. he decided that he was going to break him into pieces, in so many pieces that it would be difficult to even think of putting them back together.

With these thoughts in his mind, he looked toward Eric full of arrogance, and mockery as he said,

"Brat I heard that you are quite good at poisons, and it so happens that I am also someone who likes to play with all kinds of poison!

So, why don't you let me taste that poison of yours first, even though I am sure it will be a waste of time!"

"What!?"

Eric couldn't believe his luck at this point, he was thinking of a thousand ways how to administer the poison to the enemy, but he had never expected him to seek death himself.

Most probably he was thinking that since Eric looked young, extremely young, he must not know much about poisons.

The only reason all those guys before him had died was due to their own stupidity, carelessness, and lack of immunity towards poisons.

He was nothing like those idiots, not only did he have more brains than them, but he also knew quite a bit about poisons, and had also created some sort of immunity against a number of poisons.

In his thoughts and mind, Eric's heart would immediately sink, and started crying in despair the moment he saw that his biggest and only card was neutralized just like that.

With a surprised, and questioning face, Eric couldn't help but ask,

"Are you sure!?"

"Heheheh~! What, don't tell me you immediately got cold feet, and want to run away from the cage! Sorry to break it to you, but that's impossible.

"No, no, no, I am just surprised and shocked at your great actions that are so similar to your character. Well, here you go!"

With that said, Eric threw a white candy, or to be more precise it was something that looked like one but wasn't.

It was a poison pill!

Bloody Viper caught on the poison pill and started looking and taking a smell at it, before he closed his eyes and started to guess the ingredients, and their combination.

All this while Eric didn't move, or say a thing, as he just watched each and every action of the person in front of him.

Finally, when he seemed unable to continue with his deduction, and reverse forming the poison pill, the man couldn't help but lick on the poison pill.

After all, there were three ways to visit a sick person and check on a pill. Hearing, smelling, tasting!

Since he was stuck at a bottleneck when he had dealt with the first two ways, he decided to use the third.

At this moment he couldn't help but turn his head around and look at Eric, who was looking at him with a weird expression on his face.

It was one between a grin, wanting to laugh out loud, and pity at someone who was growing up with a disability.

That surprised, startled and infuriated him even longer, but the next moment his eyes started closing on their own.

He didn't understand what was going on at first, but it didn't take him long to figure it out. The poison he had just tasted was much, much more powerful than he had thought.

Even though he was extremely unwilling as there were a lot of remaining regrets in his life, he still understood this was his day.

"You know, there is an expression back in my country saying, big farts waste even new clothes!

Talking big doesn't help you much, you better try to learn from your mistakes!"

He had no idea when Eric had disappeared from his previous location, but now he was behind him, and there was a knife on his head.

Just as he finished what he wanted to say, Eric didn't find the presence of the guy even slightly more needed, so he did what he had to do.

The whole crowd, all the remaining finalists, all the referees, and all the guests, were extremely shocked by the development of the situation.

They had never expected something like this to happen, as Eric was just too weak in their eyes to be able to put up a fight.

Yet, not only had he put a fight against the opponent but he had also managed to win, and in an extremely quick and flashy move as well.

They had no idea how to react towards something like that, as everything seemed like a big dream or illusion they were living at the same time and place.

As for Eric, he just quickly teleported away from the newly corpse, while looking at everyone with a charming and mocking smile.

Especially at the rest of the finalists, who were looking at him with doubt, panic, and even slightly fear.

"La-Ladies and Gentlemen, I represent to you the 'Undefeated Rookie' who managed to take down even someone like Master Bloody Viper.

We can't wait to see him in the next round.

With that said, the remaining two fights proceeded as normally as it was possible, and in a short time, there were two more finalists making the number to 5. It was time for the second round to begin.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a great honor for us to have given you even a tiny bit of pleasure and satisfaction.

But the real fight starts now, as we will also reveal our second surprise for the night! And it will be nothing else but a Battle Royale.

The big finale of this time's Arena competition will be a Battle Royale among the remaining 5 experts, and we can assure you it will provide you with great pleasure and satisfaction.

Without further ado, we call all the remaining finalists to the cage, and let the bloody gore begin!"

'Yeaaaahhhhh~!'

'That's great!'

'Amazing!'

A lot of people started cheering out loud for the great incoming spectacle, as Eric and the rest of the finalists entered the cage.

All this while he had thought that the man behind the scenes would give him a more challenging and difficult setup to break through, but it looked like even he was running out of ideas.

Well, it didn't really matter, this was something that he had to deal with eventually, so he didn't bother much with the short.

With these ideas and thoughts on his mind, he started paying a bit more attention to his opponents inside the cage and look at the possibility of an alliance.

Unfortunately, none of the people that were about to enter inside seemed to have any intention of getting closer to him and talking, not to mention about an alliance.

Still, he didn't bother much with this problem and decided to act the moment when needed to take action. At the moment he could only try to find their weak points.

In special focus was Master Heartless, who was looking back at him with that arrogant and strong look of his.

It seemed like there would be sparks of friction right from the start between the two of them, but at the same time, they seemed to agree to take down everyone else before they fought together.

Like that, there would be no one to disturb their fight, and they could enjoy every moment…
