I Am A Legendary BOSS Chapter 299

Chapter 299 The Power of Money Rumble…

The ground under everyone's feet suddenly rose ten meters high.

Or perhaps… Within a few seconds, the entire plaza became a magnificent arena having a length and breadth of 10,000 meters.

There were a hundred of these arenas, and a hundred people stood on each of them.

There were no magical barriers around the arena and also no restriction on killing anyone while the competition was ongoing.

Those who were afraid to die could exit the arena now.

Of course, it wasn't that they would die for sure.

When the competitors were about to die, their registration tokens would release a protective shield and teleport them to a safe area.

Otherwise, few would survive this Magic Conference…

At this moment, everyone was looking at each other and cursing in their hearts. “Is this fair? Why am I so unlucky… Am I in the Death Group?”

“There are five experts from the intel ranking list and a whole bunch of Advanced professionals in this group. What the hell?” Several average professionals felt as if Lady Bad Luck was following them around.

William was speechless. As usual, with his Luck points, it wasn't easy to obtain victory in the group he was assigned. There were some interesting opponents.

Kakarot, ranked seventh on the intel ranking list, was an extremely strong close-combat professional.

Auston Weir, who was in the thirteenth place, was an Advanced mage that could use the fire and ice element.

Ranked 24th, Kellett was known to be a Thunder Swordsman!

The 27th name on the list was in this group too…

“There are 100 competition arenas here. The organizers are too random in their allocation Don't they know that they should spread out the experts in different arenas?” William wanted to complain to the Temple of Light and other forces.

But the four top power centers would then say, “Sorry, luck is considered to be part of your ability. Some people are just lucky.”

After all, even if 90 million people played Fight the Landlord[1], there would be only one lucky person who would emerge as the winner!

This absolutely proved that luck is part of one's ability too.

You have low Luck points?

Who cares?

Experts that could attain the Legendary title had overcome many obstacles. Could one blame Lady Luck if one failed to overcome an obstacle?

The other professionals in the arena knew what they were going to do after they saw William.

As the start of the competition was announced, a chaotic battle commenced.

Mayhem broke out in the arena William was at instantly. Dozens of people rushed towards William, who ranked second place on the intel ranking list, at the same time.

He was the first person they wanted to defeat before anyone else!

In the other arenas, people had also teamed up to attack the professionals that were on the intel ranking list.

Some of those professionals were defeated in the mob attack. They had been eliminated before they even had a chance to show their true power. They might not even have the money for transport back home.

However, no one noticed that there were four top experts sitting in a gazebo, tucked away in a place far away from the arenas.

Needless to say, they were the messengers from the top four power centers.

Roland Fecker was the messenger of the Temple of Light from the southern region.

Irene was the Ninth Elder of the Magic Sanctuary and a water elemental mage.

Scarbrow was a messenger from the Palace of Darkness and a Legendary assassin that used the Dark element.

Carlos Jayden was the chief of the Mercenary Guild in the southern region and a metal element warrior.

These four people were drinking tea and making small talk in the gazebo, looking at the combat situation in each arena through hundreds of Magical Ripple Mirrors. It was hard to imagine how well their eyesight was.

Irene, the Ninth Elder of the Magic Sanctuary, gazed at the arena with William in it. “Absolute power or absolute luck… Who do you think is stronger?” She couldn't help but smirk.

“The person that you fancy more.” Scarbrow, the messenger from the Palace of Darkness, smiled. He looked at Irene. She was an extremely rare female Legendary mage. Not only were her proportions good, but she also had curves and looked pretty attractive.

That was right.

He was flirting with her in an obvious manner.

However, Irene merely shot him a glance and ignored him. She wanted to hear others' opinions.

Carlos Jayden, the chief of the Mercenary Guild in the southern region, pondered for a moment. “Absolute power. I believe in my power. No matter how unlucky I am in a situation, I will be able to find a way out with my power and become the final victor.”

“How about you, Roland?” Irene looked at this old friend from the Temple of Light.

They were Legendary experts and served the power centers in the southern region. Although they appeared to be at loggerheads, they had worked together at times too.

Normal people would never understand their relationship.

Roland Fecker touched his stubble and looked at Irene, who possessed ample assets. “Of course absolute luck would win. How about I make a bet with Scarbrow? The winner will score a date with you tonight, how's that?” He grinned.

Scarbrow's mouth twitched. Did he look like an unlucky guy?

Nonetheless, he was interested. “Who are you betting on?”

Roland pointed at the Magical Ripple Mirror, where William was getting beaten up. “To prove that I'm lucky, I bet that this guy will win and be the final winner of that arena.”

Scarbrow glanced at William and raised his eyebrows. “The Elven prince from the City of Dawn? He's pretty confident to not even wear his defense equipment. Is he so confident in his physical body's defense?”

At this moment, William was getting beaten up by numerous people and was vomiting blood.

Scarbrow hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sure, I bet that he will lose. I have seen the name list for this arena. There are many talented professionals that I'm optimistic about in this arena. Now that they are launching a joint attack against him, I don't believe that he can win.”

“We'll see.” Roland Fecker shrugged.

Irene was extremely angry upon knowing that she was part of the bet.

However, she only snorted after seeing Roland's shameless and arrogant face. He looked confident in winning the bet.

Irene's flushed face was very alluring, as she seemed to recall something.

Was William playing dumb so that he could take advantage of the other competitors later on?

No! He just wanted to test how strong his ‘Man of Steel' endowment was.

After receiving the brutal attacks for five minutes, he understood one thing.

As long as his opponent wasn't a super strong professional at the same level as him, he couldn't deal any effective damage to him after he activated his battle energy shield.

William glanced at his opponents. Every hit they inflicted on him only caused him to lose a dozen Heath Points. He almost laughed out loud. They were such amateurs. Why did they even bother joining the Magic Conference? Did they not know that he could completely dominate over the Epic NPCs in the City of Dawn?

Kakarot, ranked seventh on the intel ranking list, raised his sword again. After William retaliated against several people, he didn't intend to continue hiding his power.

Colorful magic runes appeared on the surface of his body.

Thereafter, those magic runes started spinning swiftly and covered his clothes instantly, forming a seamless rune armor.

Not only did it look good, but the rune armor was also extremely rare.

Many envious participants cursed William in their hearts.

Wasn't he just a Lord?

Wasn't he just an Elven prince?

He was acting all cool now!

Did he think that he could win just because he was rich?

Rubbish!

“It's too late to fight properly now.” Kakarot's eyes gleamed with a golden glow. As he swung his sword downwards, a thick and narrow sword energy attack was launched.

Auston, a dual elemental mage that could use fire and ice, also showcased his extraordinary strength. He added two layers of magical shields on his body, in case anyone tried a sneak-attack on him. He appeared to be more cautious after seeing William activate his rune equipment.

He wielded a longsword made up of numerous ice fragments in one hand, and condensed Fire Dragons in his other hand. He launched them towards William's seemingly weak body at the same time.

Kellett, the Thunder Swordsman, merely closed his eyes in a calm manner and wielded his sword. But he didn't make any moves. He was waiting for the right moment to make a lethal attack, just like an assassin.

Dozens of professionals launched their most powerful attack at the same time.

Countless battle energy and magical attacks could be seen within a few hundred meter radius of William, enveloping him.

It was hard for even a Shield-Bearer to withstand this magnitude of attack.

However, at this moment, William also launched his most powerful attack.

He activated the Power of the Saint Spirit, and all of his attributes received a 23% boost.

He activated the Legendary Thunder Body endowment in his Rune Thunder equipment set. His thunder attribute attack power was boosted by 20%, and his thunder resistance was boosted by 30%.

The most important thing was that he was a ranger.

In front of countless people, he actually managed to activate a shield that emitted holy light.

That shield wasn't considered to be very big.

It only had an area of 3×3!

However, it could block the first round of attacks.

Thereafter, William's battle energy shield blocked the second round of attacks.

The rune energy of his Rune Thunder equipment set blocked the third round of attacks.

William was able to dash out of the circle of professionals surrounding him, unscathed.

Kellett, the Thunder Swordsman, saw him dash out and immediately attacked. The moment he pulled out his sword, numerous sword energy attacks headed for William from all directions, coupled with an ear-piercing sound.

William merely launched a thunderous sword energy attack that summoned eight bolts of lightning from the sky.

This caused the Thunder Swordsman's attack to dissipate instantly, deeming it useless!

Everyone was fixated on this close-combat battle between two thunder attribute professionals.

Boom!

After a dazzling bolt of lightning was seen, a bloody wound appeared on Kellett's chest.

His mouth started foaming. He lay on the ground while having seizures. The electricity coursing through his body had given him a unique punk hairstyle.

“Damnit, I said not to hold back!” Kakarot was full of anger. This was a crucial moment in the battle, and Kellett was still holding back. If this went on, how was he supposed to win?

However, William didn't attack anymore after that.

He proudly stood in the middle of the arena. Then, he threw 1000 magical stones at Auston, a mage that was hard to deal with. “I admire your ability. Join the City of Dawn, and you won't have to worry about your supply of magical stones.”

“You guys should know how strong I am. However, I don't want to use my full power yet.” William pointed at twenty professionals that were still in the arena. “You guys are quite strong too. Join the City of Dawn, there will be enough magical stones for you.

“However, if you want to continue opposing me, my Dawn Warship is waiting outside. Hundreds of cannons are waiting for you, and none of you will be able to escape.”

“???” A bunch of professionals stared wide-eyed. What the hell, this dude was so arrogant!

Kakarot looked stunned. The most shocking thing was that the others exited the arena of their own accord after pondering for a moment.

Auston, the dual elemental mage, grinned. He happily accepted the 1000 magical stones and also left the arena…

Ahem!

He was only an Advanced mage and not a Grandmaster archmage.

No matter how hard he tried, it would be hard for him to place in the top 100. After this battle, he was able to see how his strength was compared to others.

It wasn't a bad thing to help the City of Dawn now.

After all, Kakarot was just a poor bloke. There was no reason to help him.

After using his money and threatening them, William came face to face with Kakarot and pouted. “Are we going to have a 1 on 1 battle?”

Kakarot pondered for a long time. He looked at his own equipment that was already considered to be fairly good, then glanced at William's rune equipment, which was out of this world.

He could only admit his defeat in tears.
