He had also heard that Arne's family name was King. It looked like he and Lesley were close and should have been blood relatives. No wonder the two of them acted the same way.
The match's result was determined in the blink of an eye as the skull-masked caretakers started to walk toward the stage, coming up to clean the aftermath. If no one carried the corpse away, the caretakers would have gotten rid of the body like trash.
The disciples of the Deer Pavilion would naturally not let Lesley's body be treated that way. All of them held their sadness back as they picked up Lesley's corpse and left the stage.
It was only then did everyone calm down from the shock. The battle had exceeded their expectations. They had thought that they had already seen the results, but the beast actually fought back and killed Lesley.
That beast's strength had exceeded any of their imaginations. It was stronger than any regular beast!
"Lesley was too unlucky. It looks like that beast was probably the strongest among the five!"
When everyone finished lamenting, the truth started to hit them. At that moment, some could not resist cursing.
"I was so stupid to bet on him. I didn't have that many spirit crystals left and thought that I'd win this time. I can't believe I lost. Fifty thousand spirit crystals went down the drain!"
"Tell me about it... I thought that Lesley would win here! He bragged so much before, saying that he'd win. He even took offense to anyone who betted on the beast. No one expected him to lose so badly!"
"If he didn't have the skills to back it up, he shouldn't have been so arrogant! He gloated about himself so much that everyone believed him. Now, he's not only defeated-he's dead! It's one thing to embarrass himself, but he even dragged everyone else down with him!"
