Chapter 1325: Meeting the demons (6)
I couldn’t help looking at this bronze skinned demon with one brow raised since this was certainly not what I expected to hear.
But the bronze skinned demon didn’t seem to care as he went over to the side to bring a table over.
After bringing that table over, he put it down in front of me and lowered himself so that his arm was placed on the table in preparation for an arm wrestle.
I looked at him with an even more strange look when I saw this.
I didn’t know what to say when the bronze skinned demon acted like this.
It really didn’t make any sense what the bronze skinned demon was trying to do.
Was he really that simple minded that he just wanted to arm wrestle?
Seeing that I wasn’t moving forward, the bronze skinned demon just said, "Are you getting cold feet now? Weren’t you filled with momentum before? Or was I wrong about you?"
This was a very simple and direct provocation that didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives, which just made me even more confused on what the bronze skinned demon was thinking.
All signs seemed to be pointing to the fact that he just wasn’t thinking anything.
It really seemed like there wasn’t a single thought on his mind as he challenged me like this.
So in the end, I stepped forward and put my arm on the table as well.
It didn’t seem like there was anything to lose…
Not to mention, I wanted to test something as well and since this bronze skinned demon was offering, it was the perfect chance to do so.
When he saw me doing this, there was a wide smile that appeared on the face of the bronze skinned demon as he said, "I knew that I wasn’t wrong about you. Let’s do this."
After grabbing my hand, he turned to the demon queen Elizabeth and said, "Your majesty, please give us a three count."
She looked at me as if she was asking me if I wanted to stop this, but I didn’t give her any signs to stop this. I just waited for her to give the count as well.
So with a sigh, Elizabeth gave the count.
The moment that she said three, I immediately moved my arm.
But it wasn’t just my arm alone that moved since I knew that the key to arm wrestling wasn’t just relying on arm strength. The key to arm wrestling was being able to utilize one’s body in one swift motion to use as much strength as possible.
At the same time, it depended on who would be able to catch their opponent off guard.
If it wasn’t resolved like that, then it would become a battle of strength and I didn’t believe that I would be able to win that easily.
As I used this strength, I could feel the mana flowing from deep inside of me. However, this mana was much stronger than before because I had actually gathered it before twisting my arm like this.
I wanted to see if I could use greater strength if I gathered my mana ahead of time and it seemed that this was the case.
The bronze skinned demon was caught off guard by the sudden twisting of my arm, but then he stopped me right before I could pin his arm on the table.
When he did this, I could feel the power that was coming from his arm.
But at the same time, I was a bit surprised since I felt something else around his arm.
With my heightened senses, I was able to sense it right away.
It was mana.
The bronze skinned demon was actually wrapping his arm in mana, but it wasn’t the same method that knights used. This wasn’t strengthening magic, but rather it was just like what I used.
Did that mean that the demons already knew how to use the method that I used before I had ’discovered’ it?
Demons were creatures that had a larger pool of mana than humans, so it was only natural that they would be able to do something like this naturally.
But there wasn’t time to think about this as the bronze skinned demon started to push me back.
Without surprise and momentum on my side, it wasn’t as if I could match the bronze skinned demon in strength. Even if I used all the strength that I had, it wasn’t as if I was stronger than this bronze skinned demon.
Even if my body had been strengthened by the Fairy Tear, it was different from the bronze skinned demon that trained up his body.
So I couldn’t stop him as he started pushing me back.
It seemed like it would result in my loss until…
"What is this?" I couldn’t help feeling surprised when a burning sensation came from my stomach.
This burning sensation was getting stronger until all of a sudden there was a burst of strength that came from my arm.
I had been slowly pushed back by the bronze skinned demon, but that stopped all of a sudden.

I wasn’t able to push him back either, but at least I was able to stop him from pushing me any further. The two of us just held our arms up at the same height with neither side backing down.
There was a tense equilibrium that had been formed because of this.
Then all of a sudden, there was a…
"Crack."
Before either of us could react, there was a large crack that formed on the table and both of us had to stop putting strength into our arms. The two of us both moved back away from the table as that crack went from one end of the table to the other end.
That crack split the table in half and then the two halves of the table fell to the ground.
There was no winner and there was no loser, it was a complete tie as the table had split evenly in half.
