Working Prophet

As the referee announced the start of the competition, the most eye-catching battle in the competition finally began.

The two warring parties, Roshan Ilea and Earth Bear Gargan, were at war with each other because of their grievances before the war began. Moreover, this battle was not only related to their life, death and honor.

It is also a battle between the gods behind them.

In many myths on the continent of Bratis, there have been similar records. The gods argued over a certain disagreement and even prepared to fight.

However, considering the possible disastrous consequences of the war between the gods, the two parties in the final dispute accepted the mediation of the god-king Diogenes and instead selected brave men from the mainland to fight on their behalf.

They agreed with each other that the losing party must also accept all the conditions of the other party. This kind of competition is also called the Battle of God's Choice.

Of course, strictly speaking, the battle between Ilea and the Earth Bear is not the legendary battle of God's Choice, but it is almost the same in nature as the Battle of God's Choice.

Even in the blessing ceremony before the war, both sides were tit-for-tat, showing each other miracles.

Edward II looked at Cornelia, who had just sat down next to him, and said in surprise, "I didn't know you could summon fire."

"I can't," the priestess said. "In order to prevent us from being greedy, the goddess of life can only get one gift from her at most. I have already received gifts from her, and I am grateful."

Edward II was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood, "The maid next to you...controlling flames is her bloodline ability."

Cornelia nodded.

"But Ilea got several abilities from Saturday, such as thunder, fire, and smoke, not to mention the pipe in her hand that makes a loud noise and can hurt people invisible."

"The competition is not about who has more ability." The priestess said calmly. Then she noticed that the eldest prince Garth was not in the stands today and asked, "Someone wants to investigate Ilea's withdrawal from the competition. how's it going."

"I asked Duren to investigate Clyde and found out that he made a big bet in the casino about ten days ago. The guy bet almost all of his net worth, about 60,000 to 70,000 gold lions, and also borrowed money. ."

"So this matter is entirely Clyde's own idea and has nothing to do with Garth?" Cornelia frowned.

"Although Gars has some minor problems, he is generally a good boy." Edward II said, "He knows that I admire Ilea and will not do anything stupid at a time like this."

The priestess was silent upon hearing this.

"What are you thinking about?" Edward II asked curiously.

"I want to see Clyde."

"Why are you so interested in this matter? Even if there are others behind Clyde, they are only targeting Ilea, not your church."

"I have met Clyde before. He does love money, but he is not crazy enough to put all his wealth on one person, no matter how high the Earth Bear's winning rate is.

"Besides, most people don't expect Ilea to win now. There is absolutely no need for him to take this risk."

"I forgot to tell you one thing," Edward II's face looked a little strange, "Clyde is not betting on the Earth Bear."

"Um?"

"He spent all his money to buy a foreign warrior named Hunchback and eventually won. However, that guy also entered the quarterfinals. He was considered the biggest dark horse in this tournament."

"Investigate that hunchback." Cornelia later explained, "I am not paying attention to this matter because of Ilea, but because I suspect that someone is planning a bigger conspiracy behind the scenes."

Edward II was a little disapproving when he heard this, "After the palace coup of the Weiting family, I took the opportunity to conduct a major purge of the Royal Guards, reducing the influence of the other eleven families in it.

"The commander of the garrison has also been replaced by Essos. He is a smart man, and he no longer has the courage of his youth. He will remain loyal to the people on the bone throne. I don't think there is anything else in the capital now. Danger.

"When our plan starts to be implemented, I will send the Royal Knights to the front line, recruit a group of young people, and train them carefully. By then, this city will be completely impregnable.

"Don't think too much, Cornelia, the competition has already begun. Let us enjoy the duel between the two great warriors."

Just as Edward II spoke, the Earth Bear had already rushed towards Ilea.

Miss Rabbit repeated her old trick and quickly took out a duel pistol from her belt and pointed it at her opponent.

However, the distance between the two sides was still quite far at this time, and it was difficult for Ilea to hit the gap in the Earth Bear's armor.

So the girl waited for a while, until the Earth Bear ran a few steps closer, and then she raised her gun and took aim. Miss Rabbit could hear her own heartbeat.

She tried her best to get rid of distracting thoughts in her mind, held her breath, kept her arm steady, and pulled the trigger.

The next moment, the flint and the scythe collided and wiped out sparks, pushing the lead bullets in the gun barrel to fly out!

But at about the same time, the Earth Bear also suddenly stopped and put the giant shield in front of him.

Is this... a defensive stance after hearing gunshots? No, that would be too late. It should be that someone in the Church of Life carefully studied her previous seven contests and summed up her shooting radius.

Or to go one step further, the Earth Bear simply read her shooting intention and made a prediction in advance. If it was the latter, it would be too terrifying.

However, before Ilea could think about it, she pulled out a second gun and pointed it at the Earth Bear again.

Then he lit a smoke bomb without hesitation and threw it behind the Earth Bear, but something unexpected happened to the girl again, just as the Coke can was about to fly over the Earth Bear's head.

A huge sword was raised high and slashed across the sky. Then the smoke bomb was split into two by the sword, and ping pong ball fragments were scattered all over the sky.

In the end, only a small part was ignited and not much smoke was produced at all.

Ilea was stunned, and the Earth Bear took the opportunity to take two more steps forward. His steps were very long, one step was as much as one and a half steps for an average person.

After coming back to her senses, Ilea hurriedly lit the second smoke bomb, and didn't even care to throw it further away to block the Earth Bear, and hurriedly threw it in front of her.

But the Earth Bear came faster than she imagined. Before the smoke spread, his sword arrived first.

The hairs all over the female lord's body stood up. Regardless of her ugly posture, she hurriedly rolled on the spot. The sword almost grazed her body and Ilea even heard the sword wind whistling in her ears!
