Chapter 145: Threat? Decision! Who Was Who’s Stepping Stone?

Translator: Udong Editor: IceTea

It was able to seal one’s Adam’s apple and make the opponent unable to make a sound. This was a magic spell that Supreme Mages would use some time to seal their opponent’s Adam’s apple to stop them from chanting their spells and arranging magic elements to cast spells.

The only thing was that Supreme Mages usually had their magic power surging beside them for protection, so it was hard for the Mute Spell to go through this layer of protection. Unless it was used for sneak attacks when the opponent didn’t have his or her magic power surrounding them, it wouldn’t be effective. Therefore, this spell became one of those useful, yet useless spells.

Right now, Gleen Pan only had spiritual power, which was a lot weaker than magic power. When faced with Gloria’s vast magic power, he was like a naked sheep facing a bad werewolf. It was too easy for the Mute Spell to go through his spiritual power and make an effect.

Gleen Pan opened his mouth many times and tried to make a sound. He was so anxious that he was swinging his arms, and his yellow face became red. The only thing people could see in his eyes was fear. When facing death, fear took over his body. No was knew when, but his pants were stained by a stinky yellow liquid.

Sabonis stared at the duel with a cold expression on his face. He thought, "Gleen Pan… is done for!"

"Gabriella! You can’t kill him." Caeller sat on the ground and waved his hands as he shouted, "He is a mage from the Mage Union at Yulee State, and his master is the Supreme Mage Kardatin who resides at Yulee Crystal Mage Tower! If you kill him, you will get into big trouble! Immediately let him speak and surrender, otherwise, you will…"

Qian Jin sneered as he looked at Caeller in disdain. "Anyone who has never interacted with this girl Gloria before won’t know about her personality. How dare you use Gleen Pan’s master to threaten her? If Gleen Pan is going to live through this, I will let you cut my head off and kick it around like a ball."

Gloria continued to leave her hands in the air. She opened her mouth and said, "Freeze."

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

All the water in the air around Gleen Pan quickly condensed and turned into ice, and Gleen Pan was frozen into the crystal-clear ice while his hands and arms were still in the air.

Caeller finally relaxed his heart. He knew that this Frozen Spell couldn’t actually freeze someone to death, "It looks like this Gabriella know what to do…"

"Earth Spike."

The two cold and simple words instantly destroyed all of Caeller’s guesses and hopes, and it also shocked almost all of the audience.

A "rock" that was formed from soil instantly spiked out from the ground; it looked sharp and was about two meters tall. This spike pierced through the ice and stabbed into Gleen Pan’s body. It went through Gleen Pan’s body and stopped when it went through Gleen Pan’s skull. Now, Gleen Pan looked like Glan, who was hanging on the wooden stake.

The only was that Glan’s feet were tied, and he was hung upside down on the wooden stake, while Gleen Pan was pierced through from underneath and looked like he was "hanging" normally. Blood spurted out of the wound left by the pike, and from Gleen Pan’s expression during his death, it looked like he still couldn’t believe that this woman dared to kill him cruelly after knowing that his master was one of the four Supreme Mages at the Mage Union in Yulee State, Kardatin.

Everyone was now staring at Gloria in surprise; they were so shocked by her cruel battling style that Sabonis even forgot to announce the winner of this duel.

Qian Jin on the other hand shrugged his shoulders as an "I knew it" expression appeared on his face. Supreme Mage Gloria was very protective of her little sister. If Gabriella didn’t have the Demon Flamingos’ feather for protection, she might have actually been killed by Gleen Pan. How could the Supreme Mage Gloria go easy on him? And to this Supreme Mage who had a monstrous talent, how could the Mage Union scare her? Qian Jin felt like he wasn’t wrong when he thought Caeller was the dumbest person he ever knew.

"Mayor." Gloria turned around and looked into the Mourning Hall as she said, "Please announce the winner of this duel."

"Oh." Sabonis quickly stood up and pointed at Gloria with his arm, "The winner of this mage duel is – Gabriella."

Caeller turned around and looked at Mece, the other mage that he brought. There were three duels today; one was for mages, one was warrior, and the last one was a team duel. Now with Gleen Pan dead…

Mage Mece instantly started to shake his head. A stubborn expression appeared on his face as he thought, "Even if you are going to chop at me with a knife, I won’t do the duel."

"Are you kidding? Even Gleen Pan, who was very strong, was killed by that cold-blooded woman named Gabriella like an ant. How can I partic.i.p.ate in the team duel? Is that even considered a duel? That’s suicide!" Mece had made up his mind that if Caeller was going to force him to go into the duel, he would immediately break away from the Cae Family. The worst outcome of that decision would be that his reputation would go down the toilet, but it was still much better than getting killed by Gloria with an Earth Spike Spell.

Gloria walked back to Qian Jin’s side quietly and said, "Thanks." There seemed to be an unusual emotion embedded in Gloria’s cold tone.

"You’re welcome."

Qian Jin knew from the bottom of his heart that she was thanking him for not interfering and letting Gabriella fight to the end, and for giving her a Demon Flamingo’s feather so Gabriella’s life was saved in the duel today.

"Rosella." Qian Jin held on to Gabriella whose body was softening and losing strength. He turned his head as he said, "Get some medicine that helps with the recovery of external wounds, and also some tea that can help her recover some energy. Wait for me to come back to give her a prescription."

Gomez Janes took Gabriella from Qian Jin’s arm as she looked at Gabriella who fainted again curiously, "She was so powerful and strong a moment ago, but now she has turned weak in just a blink of an eye. This girl is really strange."

"For the next round, warriors from both sides please come up."

Sabonis’ voice resonated in the yard. Caeller looked at Cage with anxiety; Gleen Pan’s death today was already a big accident, and he was going to get penalized for it for sure. If something bad happened to Cage, then he probably had to kill himself…

"Are you losing your confidence in me?" With the battle blade that was thirty-five centimeters wide, he walked towards the dueling circle slowly, yet steadily. His last words before the duel resonated around Caeller’s ears, "I’m Cage, an awakened warrior of the Thunder Cat Bloodline. In the future, I will become the strongest Thunder Cat Bloodline Warrior that ever existed, and I will challenge and defeat bloodline warriors from the three Ultimate Supreme Bloodlines and open up a new chapter in the Bloodline Warrior’s history! It doesn’t matter if it is Qian Jin or that Supreme Mage, they will all become my stepping stones."

Caeller’s eyes that were filled with desperation started to clear up. "Bloodline warriors were the group of warriors who were always the strongest! How could I question and doubt a bloodline warrior simply because of that garbage Gleen Pan? The ones that dictate this era have always been bloodline warriors!" He thought confidently.

The warriors from the two sides had walked into the duel circle. Cage stared at Qian Jin coldly as he said, "Today, I will make you regret disrespecting me. I will also let you…"

"We…" Qian Jin asked Cage with a ton of question marks in his head, "We met before?"

Cage’s cold and arrogant expression froze on his face. Soon, anger had replaced everything else on his face. "We just met yesterday at Rodriguez’s office, yet you are going to pretend that we never met? Do you think doing so will make me lose my mind? All of the ordinary Demon Fighters are just like this. They think they are very smart, but they don’t know that all kinds of tricks and cleverness are simply a clown’s performance when facing absolute power and strength." This thought went through Cage’s head.

Qian Jin felt like they might actually have met before as he saw Cage getting angrier and angrier. He tried very hard to recall all the people that he met in his life, but he ended up sighing and saying, "I’ve thought about it, but I really don’t think we have met before. Could it be that you are mistaking me for someone else?"

"Yesterday, in Rodriguez’s office." Cage sneered; he felt like he was watching a clown. "Let me see how long you can act this out," he thought.

"Yesterday? In Instructor Rodriguez’s office…" Qian Jin’s mouth opened up as he lightly inhaled. He suddenly remembers that there was someone else in the room; but because of the incident with Rollin, he didn’t pay attention to that other person at all. "Oh, I remember now. So you were the other person in the room? My apologies, I actually didn’t notice you."

The more earnest and serious Qian Jin’s expression was, the more the anger in Cage’s head grew. If his opponent was trying to play a trick on him, then he wouldn’t get mad. However, his opponent’s expression wasn’t fake at all! It meant that his opponent had actually ignored him! It was a shame to him! A Demon Fighter walked into the room and ignored the other strongest warrior there!

"Great, you will remember me for the rest of your life. No!" Cage said as he waved his index finger, "You won’t get the chance! This is too bad, you being able to die on the Human-Demon Battlefront is deemed as the most honorable place for a warrior, but you are going to die in my hands today without any honor. However, you don’t have to be sad. Because after you die today, you will appear in all kinds of biographies about the greatest Thunder Cat Bloodline Warrior Cage as a stepping stone."

"Bloodline warriors are always so haughty." Qian Jin laughed casually as he shrugged his shoulders, "Stepping stones can easily turn into a stumbling block in many situations. It’s better to see what kind of stone it is before you try to step on it."

Cage really didn’t like what Qian Jin just said; he hated how Qian Jin spoke so casually when he talked. "What else do ordinary Demon Fighters have except for a sharp tongue?"

"What did you say?" An angry voice suddenly sounded; although the voice wasn’t loud, it sounded like the loud thunder to everyone who heard it. They all felt like the sky was collapsing down.

Fabreidis spoke! The guardian of Oakland Fabreidis was also not a bloodline warrior. He had an angry expression on his face. What Cage just said had offended Fabreidis who didn’t awaken any bloodline.

Cage bent his back and bowed towards Fabreidis to show his apology. He wasn’t a match for Fabreidis, and offending the city’s guardian for no reason would get him into trouble. "I apologize for what I just said," Cage said.

After hearing that, Fabreidis closed his eyes and stopped looking at the duel. Sabonis who sat beside him announced with his deep voice, "The second duel of the day, begin…"

The voice was still resonating in the air, but Cage’s body already s.h.i.+vered. Two Leopard-like dark marks appeared on his cheeks, and his pupils turned into vertical black ovals. His canine teeth grew a few cementers and his muscles started to twitch rapidly like a bloodthirsty animal.

Bloodline Battle Form! Cage didn’t underestimate Qian Jin at all and instantly used the power of the Thunder Cat that was in his blood. After awakening the Thunder Cat Bloodline Battle Form that he could use after the primary awakening, the Demon Fighter sensation coming off of him instantly jumped to the wild and vicious sensation of a Level 5 Demon Fighter.
