Chapter 304 Legendary Fire Element Cannon Gunner

The Lord of Dawn had consecutively defeated two strong opponents.

When he had fought with the assassin, observers could not figure out William’s true capability.

But many observers were able to witness his true prowess in the ferocious battle with the ninth-seeded contestant.

They had been extremely enthralled.

Many people were in favor of William. They thought that he was a good match for the top-seeded Marl Cloud.

Nobody expected that there was another challenger for William, and he was unable to leave the arena.

The referee was also bewildered. But he stopped William and let him rest for half an hour before commencing the fight.

That was right!

Yes, someone was plotting against William.

Perhaps, the Desert Kingdom had already started their evil scheme against William.

William’s random matches had been fixed.

He had no time to leave the arena as he was pre-matched with a super-strong opponent.

The opponent was also a legendary BOSS. He was a fire element Cannon Gunner who was not listed in the intelligence report.

Dom Dylan!

The Third Prince of the Lion Kingdom.

Nobody knew that he would be participating in the competition.

He attracted attention only after he gained victory in the knockout rounds.

In a pavilion, the Four Legendary Bigwigs watched the battles of Advanced and Grandmaster contestants.

Roland Fecker looked grave. William had made a deal with him to ensure that he would be matched with Wayne Gold Coin in the tenth round.

It was not a big deal to Roland, especially when he had been bribed with generous portions of Life Potion from William. He had to return the favor.

William was going to cheat Wayne Gold Coin of his magical stones. Wayne’s surname was very tempting…

He was filthy rich!

But William did not know that someone had done him in.

Roland glanced at the third opponent of William.

He was a fire element cannon gunner.

He was not listed on the intelligence report, but his performance had been extremely outstanding.

Roland gazed at the Ninth Elder of the Magic Sanctuary, Irene, with complex feelings. If he had not guessed wrongly, the matches had been arranged by her.

He knew that Irene had a close relationship with the Desert Kingdom. She had known about Roland’s relationship with William, but she still persisted in helping the Desert Kingdom. Roland had wasted his time last night…

Unfortunately, Irene completely ignored Roland. She threw a few glances, and the fawning dog, Scarbrow, followed behind her. She had completely forgotten about the meeting with Roland the previous night.

Half an hour passed.

William stood up. His Health Points had fully recovered, but the durability of his rune armor had yet to fully replenish. Many of his powerful skills were still in the cooldown period.

William was vexed. The Desert Kingdom had arranged for him, consecutive battles with powerful opponents. All so that he would be defeated.

If William were to lose two battles, he would not be able to enter the top 100 list.

Besides Gugas, who had previously fought with William, the other opponents were top-notch professionals from other factions.

As such, even though the opponents knew they were pawns, they did not want to lose. They would strive their best to defeat William.

William gazed at Dom Dylan, who was having his first battle in this arena. Dom also discovered that William had fought for two rounds without being given a long period of rest. He realized that he and this match-up was arranged to defeat William.

Dom Dylan felt unhappy. Since someone was able to fix his match, it must be an influential person from the top four power centers.

Even if he was the Third Prince of the Lion Kingdom, he could not afford to antagonize the organizers. He could only show his grievances to his father when he returned home.

What about now?

He could only fight.

He was never short of confidence.

As a prince, his endowment had been extraordinary since he was young. His combat endowment was the most outstanding among all the princes!

His capability spoke for itself among all the geniuses in the Lion Kingdom.

He had experienced at least hundreds of small and large deathmatches.

And he had emerged victorious.

So he had nothing to fear.

“As for William’s rune equipment…” Dom shrugged his shoulders. Even though he did not own any rune equipment, he had the most powerful magical equipment set, the longest rifle, and devastating cannons.

Dom noticed the blood traces on William’s equipment. He did not speak out even though he had some thoughts.

He finally uttered some words when the referee commenced the fight, and William charged at him with his blade!

He said in a righteous manner, “We’re both princes, and you’ve fought for two rounds, so you must be exhausted. You won’t be able to make use of your powerful skills within a short period of time.

“Although I would like to defeat you, I wish for a fair duel. I can delay the fight so that you have more time to rest.”

William felt better after hearing his words. Finally, there was a worthy opponent who valued his prowess.

It was a rare opponent.

But William did not expect that Dom Dylan was only casually speaking…

As a prince, he had been taught to be magnanimous and farsighted so that he would be able to recruit many loyal followers to help him fight for the crown.

Dom thought that it was worthwhile for William to have a good impression of him with his kind words.

Unexpectedly, the thick-skinned William nodded and said, “Good, let me rest for three hours…”

Dom Dylan was taken aback. He tightly grasped his hand cannon while his face was befuddled.

“Aren’t you an Elven prince? Where’s your pride? By right, you should have rejected my offer. Did I say something wrong? Aren’t you too thick-skinned to rest for three hours? Did I accede to your request?”

William wanted to tell Dom that he would defeat him whether he took a rest or not.

The reason being that an Advanced Cannon Gunner had not attained the most powerful level. He was the easiest opponent that William had encountered so far.

But since Dom had given such a good offer, William would not miss the chance to rest. He wanted to give the idea that he was not going to last any longer.

So that he could surprise his opponent.

Dom Dylan kept mum as he watched William sit cross-legged on the ground to recover his strength. William looked as though he was going to take a nap. Dom Dylan suddenly had the urge to kill William.

Unfortunately, he had given his word as a prince in front of many observers.

He could only smile bitterly while cursing William not to recover from his wounds. He was hoping that William’s combat power would be drastically reduced.

But even though Dom was confident, William’s combat skills were too astonishing.

Three hours passed, and only tens of spectators remained at William’s arena. All of the rest had left.

William slowly stood up and said in a low voice, “The fewer numbers of observers will preserve your reputation when you lose.”

“Cut the crap! Attack!”

Dom Dylan was getting impatient. He firmly took out a long rifle and fired an enchanted bullet.

Bang!

William evaded the shot, but the bullet exploded beside him. The violent shockwave weakened his battle energy shield.

“Close-proximity bullet?” The idea came to William’s mind as he speedily dodged.

He noticed Dom retreating to create space between them while wildly firing the close-proximity bullets.

Magic made the bullet explode when it came within close proximity to the target. This kind of expensive bullet was able to wear down the enemy, even if it did not hit the target.

Dom Dylan was also a very rich prince.

How could a common professional afford to fire tens of close-proximity bullets within such a short period of time? The bullets were rapidly wearing down William’s battle energy shield.

William moved to the flank of Dom Dylan, who smiled and tossed a magic artifact on the ground!

Frost magic scroll!

Ka cha, ka cha, ka cha…

In a radius of a few hundred meters, the surface of the arena became frosted. William leaped into the air, in case he was frozen to the ground.

“Now!” Dom Dylan knelt down on one knee while the long rifle became longer and thicker. His hands infused battle energy into the barrel before it exploded with a long, powerful shot.

Boom!

A concentrated beam of fire shot out hundreds of meters.

It hit squarely on William’s chest.

At this moment, a blue ethereal Ghost Arrow penetrated the beam of fire and flew towards Dom. It landed and exploded in Dom’s chest.

Both of them were seriously wounded.

However, the gunshot had only reduced one-eighth of William’s Health Points as William’s skin was very tough.

In the next moment, William’s body had been engulfed by the Saint Spirit, and he appeared before Dom Dylan. He stabbed at Dom’s abdomen, and the sword energy pierced out from the other side, thus reducing one-fifth of Dom’s Health Points.

But Dom recovered from the blow. His magical equipment became brilliant, and a large cannon barrel appeared before William.

William had an ominous feeling.

He immediately lowered his head to knock the barrel towards the Fire Dragon’s Scale on his chest.

Boom!

Time was considerably slowed down.

William felt as though an atomic bomb had detonated between them. The intense pain was indescribable. It felt as though he had been immersed in molten lava.

The explosive force made him uncontrollably reel back. He was sent flying hundreds of meters back into the air.

It was the best opportunity for Dom. He swallowed the fresh blood in his mouth while fusing his long rifle and cannon into one. His magical armor also reconfigured itself.

The transformed super-long rifle was like the Gatling gun.

It spewed bullets in a frenzy at William.

At this instance, many observers who had returned to watch were gaping in a daze…

They watched William vanish in the smoke of explosions and shockwaves. They had not expected Dom’s magical equipment to be a defensive set. Even the weapon and the armor were one piece of cohesive equipment set.

Dom was indeed a filthy rich prince.

He had executed his fatal move, and the smoke was cleared.

The observers looked in a daze at the sky.

As William was intact. He was not in the least harmed by the barrage of firepower!

Everyone was befuddled.

What kind of defense did he have?

Unfortunately, William would never admit that he had used the Sacred Shield.

The ring had conjured 30 small-scale Sacred Shields of Light that covered his body for 30 seconds.

“Witness how I’m going to defeat the cannon gunner.”

But nobody expected the following scene…

Dom Dylan patted his chest with his right hand and said, “The Lord of Dawn is indeed powerful. I’m not your match. I’m leaving. Farewell…”

That was right.

Dom knew that he was not a match, so he leaped off the arena and left…
