Chapter 217: Chapter 217: I Won't Regret Killing You
"You so-called elite, who ruthlessly exploit and oppress ordinary Serpents, don't need peace, those Serpents do! Atacama needs peace!"
Uda's eyes turned blood-red. He trembled all over, not out of fear, but out of anger. He could no longer maintain his human form.
In the hall of the tavern, Uda revealed his true Serpent form. The three-meter-tall Serpent opened its blood-red maw, constantly flicking out its forked tongue.
With a pair of pale yellow vertical pupils, it coldly stared at Charles, filled with brutality and murderous intent.
Uda hissed, his voice hoarse as he said, "Human, I challenge you to a duel!"
The person he hated the most right now was Charles. The cooperation he had managed to establish with the Robinson family had been canceled just because of a few words from Charles.
If he returned to the Li Tribe like this, he would definitely face severe punishment!
He had to do something!
This eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy was the best choice. Not only was he aligned with the New Nation, but he also knew Joshua.
If he could kill this boy, perhaps the tribe would spare him from punishment!
"Damn it! The conflict among the Serpent People should not involve humans. Uda, if you have the courage, then duel with me!" Blackrock said.
He had also transformed into his Serpent form. Unlike Uda, Blackrock, in his Serpent state, was clearly more rational.
"I'll say it again, this is Genosha, not the Atacama Desert!" Lance's aura exploded. After all, he was a Level Seven Beast Master and could not allow Serpents to act arrogantly here!
Seeing Lance's attitude and movements, Uda sighed inwardly. It seemed there was no way to remedy the situation.
As long as Charles refused his challenge, he could do nothing to Charles. He couldn't just attack outright, could he?
The only possible outcome of that would be being killed on the spot by Lance!
Just when Uda was prepared to give up, Charles spoke, saying, "I accept your challenge."
"What!" "Calm down, don't be impulsive!"
Experience the best from m|v|l|e|mp|y|r
Blackrock and Lance's eyes widened in shock. They never expected Charles would agree.
Unlike Blackrock, Lance knew that Charles had already become a Level Four Beast Master.
However, being a Level Four Beast Master without a contract for a fourth mystical beast faced with a forty-something level Serpent was still a huge risk.
Even if Charles is a genius, that doesn't guarantee he can defeat Uda.
After all, Serpents are not the same as ferocious beasts, they have their own culture, knowledge, and combat heritage. Their overall combat power is much higher than that of ferocious beasts!
Moreover, most Serpents possess wind and poison attributes, making them fast and capable of unleashing deadly toxins.
If one is accidentally exposed to the opponent's poison, the likely outcome is death by poisoning!
Blackrock was equally puzzled. He could infer that Charles's identity must be extraordinary, but looking at Charles, who appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen, he couldn't see how he could possibly be Uda's match!
Although Blackrock strongly opposed Uda's remarks, as a member of a rival faction, he had heard of Uda's name. Uda is a powerful Level Four Serpent in the Li Tribe, with a wealth of combat experience.
Furthermore, the toxins he possesses are more potent than those of ordinary Serpents. Once bitten, there is basically no cure unless Uda is killed and his serpent gallbladder is extracted, that is the only thing that can neutralize the poison.
"Kid, you said it yourself. If you die in this duel, you can't blame me, it only shows how arrogant you are!" Uda's eyes lit up.
He had already made up his mind, once he killed Charles, he would immediately leave Genosha Calivia and return to the Atacama Desert, back to the Li Tribe.
"Don't worry, I won't blame a dead man." Charles said expressionlessly. Just a Level Forty-something Serpent, after all. If all went well, the black gold long knife would take him down in one strike.
If things didn't go smoothly, a single black gold knife glow would do the trick.
If one attack wouldn't suffice, then he would use two!
Charles was well aware of the Serpent People's poison attributes, but he wasn't worried. When it came to speed, there weren't many who could match him!
He could see that a strong wind was blowing outside the tavern on the street!
Moon Riding Wind: Increases speed and evasion, allowing for rapid movement or charging toward a target, making it elusive like the wind. In battle, it enables quick position changes to dodge enemy attacks. With the enhancement of moonlight and natural wind, the effects on speed and evasion are amplified. The stronger the moonlight and the greater the wind, the higher the boost!
Just a Level 47 Serpent, how fast could he really be?
"This space is too small, let's move out to the street." Charles said, turning to walk outside.
Lance wore a worried expression, he had only one thought in his mind: Charles must not get into trouble. Otherwise, the Robinson family would surely be implicated and targeted by Ezra.
"You guys, clear the area!" Lance instructed the members of the Robinson family.
At the same time, he summoned a mystical beast and activated Beast Mastery. If Charles was in any danger, he would not hesitate to intervene!
Everything was for the Robinson family, no one could withstand Ezra's wrath.
With the Robinson family members in action, the wide street in front of the tavern was instantly cleared. A large crowd lingered on the street, curiously watching the scene unfold.
"What's going on? Why is the area suddenly being cleared?"
"It seems to be because of Charles?"
"What happened to Charles? Is he going to duel someone?"
"It's not a person, it's a Serpent. It's so tall, it looks like it's almost four meters!"
"Who do you think will win?"
"That's obvious, it's got to be Charles! He's my idol!"
"This Serpent looks like it's over Level Forty, and Serpent People are no slouches. Charles might have met his match, this could be an evenly matched fight!"
"Shh! I'm going live, I want to stream this duel so more people can see it."
It was Uda's first time dueling in front of such a large crowd.
Seeing the throngs of people surrounding the road, his heart began to race with excitement!
"Kid, are you ready? You will be greeted by death soon!" Uda said quietly, his tone filled with murderous intent!
Unlike Uda,
Charles was already used to being watched. He felt no inner turmoil and remained calm.
Three hexagram arrays lit up as Charles summoned Mousie, Max, and Mia. Without any hesitation, he activated Beast Mastery.
At the same time, he took out the black gold long knife from the jet ring and reduced the weight of his Overlord Heavy Armor by a third.
Charles thought to himself, "This state should be enough to deal with a Level Forty-something Serpent."
Since leveling up to a Level Four Beast Master, no, it should be said that after the battle against Darren at the Robinson family banquet, Charles seemed to have not taken any action since.
He wasn't even sure how strong he had become.
It was just right that he encountered a reckless Serpent today, one that insulted Aria, to test his actual combat power.
"In this world, there's no such thing as a pill for regret. Agreeing to duel me will be the biggest mistake of your life!" Uda said.
Charles shook his head and replied, "I won't regret killing you."
Upon hearing Charles's words, Uda kept flicking his forked tongue, as the wind and poison energy continuously gathered around him.
A shocked voice came from the crowd, "It's a Serpent with wind and poison attributes, and it looks like it's above Level 45!"
"Looks like Charles has met his match, a Serpent at this level is even stronger than a Level Fifty ferocious beast!"
"Charles hasn't contracted a fourth mystical beast yet. Will he be able to handle this Serpent?"
Only a few people believed in Charles. They were unaware of his true power, they just felt that Charles had always been incredibly strong, able to astonish others every time. Surely, this time would be no different.
Online, the livestream of Charles's duel with the Serpent quickly went viral.
At the Cyber Academy, Hale had just come out of the principal's office. After glancing at his phone, he darted back into the office.
"Principal! Principal! You have to see this, Charles is dueling a Serpent! I need to go watch!" Hale said anxiously.
Principal Jamie was initially tense, but he relaxed after spotting Lance on the livestream.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Lance is there, after all. He's a Level Seven Wind Attribute Beast Master. With him around, Charles will be fine."
"That's true. If anything happens to Charles, Uncle Ezra won't let it slide!" Hale thought it through and set aside his worries.
He then settled into a chair nearby, eagerly watching the livestream.
As one of the few people in Genosha Calivia most concerned about Charles, Hale was also very curious about Charles's current strength.
After becoming a Level Four Beast Master, a Beast Master's physical abilities would further enhance.
Charles's physical condition had already surpassed that of other Beast Masters at the same level.
Not to mention he had also selected an orange-quality armor from the royal treasury.
Now, it was estimated that within the ranks of Level Four Beast Masters, no one could surpass Charles in terms of physical prowess. Even some ordinary Level Five Beast Masters might not measure up to him!
It wasn't just Hale and Jamie watching, nearly everyone in Genosha Calivia who followed Charles flocked to the relevant livestream.
They were all eager to find out just how powerful Charles had become after reaching Level Four Beast Master.
In the livestream footage,
Charles and Uda stood facing each other, the wind whipping at their clothing, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire area.
