Lord of the Sky City

After a probing attempt, Ober decided it was unnecessary to continue, so although he was dominating in the engagement, he surprisingly retreated, creating a distance between himself and Rocky.

"Ober is voluntarily creating distance with his opponent. What is he planning to do? Is he giving his opponent a chance to surrender?"

As soon as Ober had retreated, the announcer shouted loudly, and his words also elicited laughter from the audience. The most notable thing about Ober was that he often killed his surrendering opponents. The announcer's comment obviously meant he was preparing to kill!

And it was indeed so!

Just after creating distance, Ober made another puzzling move—he charged towards Rocky again!

This time, however, his sprint was much faster, clearly having maxed out the thrust of his armor, so in just a blink of an eye, he was right in front of Rocky, and then suddenly changed direction and leaped into the air.

Behind him!

When Ober rushed forward, Rocky had already prepared to block, but the opponent did not launch a frontal attack, instead, he suddenly leaped into the air, which made Rocky immediately realize that Ober's target was behind him.

This tactic, Rocky had used during the preliminary selection, employing the sudden directional change of the armor to alter the intent of the attack, disrupting the enemy's defense. Therefore, he immediately turned around.

But when Rocky turned around as fast as possible, he heard a gasp from the audience, and then saw that there was no one behind him!

Not behind anymore?

Realizing that there was no one behind him, Rocky was momentarily stunned, then quickly raised his head.

As he looked up sharply, he saw Ober hovering above his head!

And just as Rocky noticed Ober, Ober suddenly plummeted, fiercely stomping down on him!

Then, there was a loud crash. Ober, falling like a ton weight, fiercely stomped on Rocky and pinned him under his feet!

This scene immediately elicited cheers from the audience.

"Stomp him to death!"

"Beautiful! Well-hit!"

"Don't hit too hard! He hasn't surrendered yet! Haha!" Your next journey awaits at empire

"Yeah! Give him a chance to surrender!"

Ober's successful move immediately excited the audience, and countless people were shouting loudly.

Among these shouts, Ober, standing on Rocky, leaped up and flew straight into mid-air, then raised both hands towards the arena.

"Here it comes, ladies and gentlemen! Ober is about to use his eight-burst bombardment!"

As previously mentioned, Ober had participated in more than fifty rank matches, and having fought so many times not only gave him considerable renown, but his commonly used tactics had also become well-known. For instance, now, as he raised both hands towards the arena, the announcer shouted out loudly.

Sure enough, right after that, Ober's arm armor sprung open, revealing four mana launchers on each arm, totaling eight mana launchers!

At the beginning of the match, Hammerfire had mentioned that the arm and shoulder armor of Ober's suit was noticeably unusual. Now it seems Hammerfire was right, as the arms of this armor were indeed modified.

Ober had installed six additional Mana Launchers on the arms of his Armor, bringing the original two up to eight!

And once he revealed the Mana Launchers on his arms, a series of Magic Bullets were fired!

With eight Mana Launchers firing simultaneously, he could launch eight Magic Energy Bullets at once, meaning Ober's firepower alone almost matched that of a Magic Energy Squad.

Under such formidable firepower, the arena was immediately blasted open, and Rocky, who couldn't even scramble to his feet, was quickly overwhelmed by the relentless bombardment.

The thunderous explosions drowned out all other sounds— the cheers of the spectators, the shouts of the announcer, and everything else. At that moment, the stadium was filled with just one overpowering noise.

It took nearly five minutes before Ober finally ceased firing the Magic Energy Bullets. When he stopped, the eight Mana Launchers on his arms had turned red, a testament to the sheer number of Magic Energy Bullets he had fired.

In the midst of such fierce bombardment, Rocky... It should be noted that before being engulfed by the bombardment, he hadn't activated his Defensive Net!

To almost everyone, facing such intense bombardment without a Defensive Net for protection meant Rocky's fate was sealed. If not outright killed, he would have no capacity to retaliate...

"No, he couldn't have been blown to death, could he?"

Because the bombardment was so intense, the arena was still filled with smoke afterward, and the spectators couldn't clearly see Rocky's condition. Was he dead? Crippled? What had happened to him?

So, as they waited for the smoke to clear, many in the audience were beating their chests, not out of concern for Rocky, but fearing that he might have been instantly killed, thus losing the chance to surrender. And if Rocky didn't get a chance to surrender, they would miss Ober's signature move of making his opponents surrender before killing them!

"Impossible, Ober knows what he's doing; surely he's not dead."

"Exactly, definitely not dead, but must have been badly mangled, haha, there's a good show to watch now!"

"Right, there's definitely a good show."

As the smoke gradually cleared, a buzz of discussion broke out among the spectators, but these discussions soon ceased. As the seconds ticked by, the lingering smoke finally dispersed completely.

When everything had cleared, everyone could finally see the arena clearly.

At that moment, the arena was a mess, particularly where Rocky had been standing. The spot was almost blown into a crater, with debris and rubble everywhere, looking almost like a ruin.

However, just as the spectators gasped and buzzed with excitement at this sight, they suddenly noticed a person standing in the 'ruins'...

Rocky!

As the smoke dispersed, Rocky quickly appeared in everyone's view. He stood on the arena, his Armor still as white as snow, footing firm on the devastated battleground, looking upwards!

"Is this real? Ladies and gentlemen, did you see that?"

"Contestant number 1021 is actually, actually unscathed?!"

Seeing Rocky's figure on the arena, the announcer shouted as if he had seen a ghost, because this scene was nothing like what he had expected.

In the announcer's expectation, or rather in almost everyone's expectation, Rocky should have been lying weakly on the arena by now. After all, he had just endured such intense bombardment and seemingly hadn't deployed any defensive measures. How could he possibly still be standing?

In fact, not only the announcer and the spectators seemed surprised to see Rocky standing, but Ober, hovering midair, also furrowed his brow. How could this be possible?
