Alex was calm on the outside but panicking on the inside.
This was the first life and death situation he had been in.
"Dazzling light" said one of the mages.
Alex was stunned and in that brief moment he was dragged off into a corner that was less populated in the dark market.
Alex snapped out of it but he was sure that at least sure that he had been stunned for at least 10 minutes.His hands were tied by a magical artifact.
"Don't try using magic.That rope is called thesaurus.It cuts off soul energy rendering you weak and powerless making a normal human.This particular one only works for intermediate level and below mage but it can turn you into a wealthy person overnight.It costs a million chronocoins.
"Can you just cut the crap?If you want to kill me get on with it"Alex said.
"Looks like you ain't scared of death boy" scorpion said with a smile
"Boss, let's just kill him.Sir Frederick is not the patient type." said the light mage
"Alright,kill him yourself then."scorpion said
"With pleasure"the light mage replied.
I hope he is stupid enough to use luminous shot,Alex thought.Since the artifact was made for intermediate level and below then it should easily be destroyed by a beginner level spell cast by an intermediate mage.
A powerful beam of light shot at Alex but he flipped sideways and put his hands between the beam which destroyed the artifact.He immediately shadow travelled.
He found himself in an unfamiliar area but he was impressed with his growth.He just recently broke through to intermediate tier 1 mage.Before he could only travel a distance of ten to twentykm but now looks like he could travel between forty to fifty kilometers now so he was very far away from the goons but he now remembers who Frederick was.He was the infamous mystic city bully.Although he was a noble he just acted like trash.Thank goodness he wasn't from the main line.
Alex was jolted out of his thoughts by the loud roar of the crowd.He looked around and found himself in a magical cage in an arena.
"Wait don't tell me I teleported into the fighting cage in the fighting arena?Man,I'm fucked up"Alex muttered with a grim look on his face.
The commentator voice rang out in the arena like an explosion."Looks like we have another challenger for the first place of the number one fighter in the mystic city.Let the battle begin."
Alex was indeed in the fighting arena but he got into the middle of a fight for the number fighter in mystic city.Which means that this two people must be crazily strong.
"What a twist this night has taken.This is messed up"Alex thought
...
In the arena's vip area
The second young master of the windward family Julius Windward, was watching the match with interest.He was sure that he was at least a year older than the young guy in the fighting cage.He came here to recruit mages with potential into the windward family.The person in charge was involved in a recent accident so he volunteered to come.He smiled.The wind blew towards his direction making his silver hair flutter.The guards with him shuddered.What or who is the unfortunately person or thing that piqued this handsome devil's interest?
...
Back in the ring Alex was suffocating and the shadow energy was little to start with was diminishing cause the fighting arena lighting was good and the aura of this two was starting to spread.
"Just their auras alone and I am already suffocating.Man looks like death is really determined to fuck me up tonight and in the next three to four hours,it will be daybreak.I have to get home before then.Fuck this shit"Alex cursed
Lightning crackled,the earth shuddered.All hell was about to break lose
