Peter was flabbergasted to see Ghost revealing his identity to the entire world. He made sure no one knows about his identity yet somehow Ghost knows about him. He couldn't help wondering how he knew about his identity.

"What are you blabbering on?" Peter asked Ghosty with a stoic face. He couldn't just accept he's The Young Master. What if Ghost was really bluffing and he had no evidence, Peter thought.

"This has taken a dark turn guys" Ishihara commented after hearing Michael talk.

"Accusing Peter of being a vigilante is a serious accusation," James Hall said,

"After the appearance of Lucifer, the Guardians or the Church isn't in the mood for tolerating masked criminals who terrorize the people" THe moment Darius uttered the name 'Lucifer', the entire arena went deadly silent. Many commoners shivered in fear while many felt a mix of fear and worship in their hearts. Conserving Lucifer's victims were ruthless criminals who needed to be rooted out, those who suffered in the hands of those criminals worshiped Lucifer for giving them some kind of justice the authority like the Guardians didn't.

"You know, accusing me of this is a serious crime, Ghost. You really wanna go down this path. I understand if you are afraid of losing but this is a new kind of low " Peter coldly said without showing any emotion on his face.

"Afraid of you, hahaha. You're joking right?"

"Let the battle begin" the voice of the coordinators hovering above the battle stage reverberated through the arena.

Still, after hearing the words, both Peter and Michael didn't take battle stances. Michael even turned his back on Peter and started to talk looking at the crowd,

"I am gonna make you pay for turning your back on me" Peter gritted his teeth, mumbling under his breath. He Immediately drew symbols in the air as various runes and patterns began to appear in the air. They all glowed in sparkling cobalt blue color. At least fifty tiny runes could be seen floating around in the air above the battle stage at the moment. A bunch of them continued to float in the air before disappearing into the battle stage while some faded away into the thin air.

"Although I like to make new friends and don't like to alienate people, I'm a very private person who loves privacy. When people spy on me, I get pretty pissed" Michael talked without turning back to look at Peter,

"People who piss me off don't get a happy ending, Peter" Alicia saw the smile on Ghost's face disappear in the mirror. A sudden dread hit her to the core. She loved her big brother and didn't want anything to happen to him.

Just by accusing Peter of being the Young Master, Ghost put her brother in the crosshairs of the Guardians. Nonetheless, Guardians weren't the ones she should worry about at the moment. She witnessed how easily Ghost killed Alex who fought with her brother to a stalemate. Regardless of Peter's talent in runes, she still feared for her brother's life because Ghost was not someone who could be defeated so easily.

"You know when you came to fight me that night, I could have easily flayed you alive and fed it to my dragon" Michael winked at Nightmare who waved at Michael standing on Claire's lap.

"But where is the fun in that?"

The more he spoke, the violent the spear trembled in Peter's hands,

"Now I get to destroy your arrogant ass in front of thousands of people, that is fun"

Many raised their brows seeing the carelessness of Ghost. This was not a round where the participants were restricted to use the Arch energy. On the contrary, they could use anything. Hence, no participant had ever turned their back on their opponent because a second of carelessness would be the reason for a major loss.

"That's my dialogue," Peter snickered as he raised his spear at Michael,

"Ray of Spear!"? the golden spear trembled violently before soaring through the air aiming for Michael's head.

Many people couldn't stay seated as they stood up in bewilderment. Just when the spear was about to pierce the back of his neck, Ghost turned his head as the spear suddenly halted in the air as though the spear put a break in the middle air.

The people were stunned. It took them a few seconds to see GHost was holding the spear by its handle. The spear violently trembled yet it couldn't escape his grip.

"Hello Peter" Michael winked at Peter,

"This is not going to be a long interesting battle," Michael felt the spear fighting his grip to go back to Peter. Nonetheless, he was too strong for the spear to escape. Besides, the spear lost all of its momentum when the invisible Responsive Shield absorbed its power. After upgrading the Responsive shield a couple of levels, Michael could now decide whether he wants others to see the shield coming up or not.

Because Peter was trying his hardest to summon back the spear from Ghost's hand, the veins in his eyes popped open, making his eyes red. Peter hid his difficulty of summoning the spear from showing up on his face. Still, when Michael saw Peter struggling, he tilted his head,

"Oh, you need this, here you go" Michael tossed the spear back to Peter.

"Wind steps" Peter cast another spell as he suddenly disappeared from the battle stage.

"Where did he go?" Ishihara asked. Many had the same question in their heads too.

Suddenly Peter appeared out of thin air behind Michael. Without wasting a second, Peter plunged the spear towards Michael's back. Nevertheless, when the tip of the spear was just a few inches away from Ghost, Peter felt an invisible force stopping him. He wasn't surprised as he knew about Ghost's Responsive shield, he felt the force when he fought Ghost in the forest of the Sunrise sect.

However, the force he felt at the moment was far greater than the force he felt when he first fought Ghost. The next moment, GHost yet again turned back and grabbed the spear by its handle. For others, it seemed like Michael stopped the spear from stabbing him by grabbing the spear but only Peter knew that it was the spell that stopped him. The runes he placed on the battle stage were supposed to prevent Ghost from casting any spells. Peter couldn't understand how he cast the shield spell ignoring the runes.

"The runes you placed, it will only stop me if I used any spells, and Peter" He grinned looking at Peter,

"I never said I can't beat your silly little runes" Michael pulled the spear towards him along with Peter.

"Ring of Fire"? the moment Ghost cast the spell, a blazing crimson red fire appeared around the two of them. It burned so hotly as everything above the fire looked blurry. The people had to look at the mirror to get a clear picture of what's happening inside the fire circle.

Peter was stunned. He never expected Ghost to pinpoint the rune he placed to prevent him from casting Ring of Fire. Peter didn't know the power of Michael's X-ray vision which helped him pinpoint the runes. With the help of X-ray vision, Michael stepped on the invisible rune, breaking it.

Since Michael upgraded every one of his spells to the max level he could, the Ring of Fire became more powerful. He could control the fire as easily as breathing inside the fire ring. A blaze of fire trailed from the fire ring and danced around Michael's hands.

Boom!

Peter's concentration broke for a second in shock. Michael used this opportunity as he punched Peter in the chest with his flaming hand. The fist connected with Peter's metal armor, producing a loud booming sound. Alicia saw her brother flying backward like a kite without an anchor in the storm.? A dent was formed in Peter's armor by Michael's fist.

Peter felt his ribs cracking inside his chest. He coughed up a mouth full of blood but soon picked himself up. Suddenly he saw Ghost stop walking towards him.

"This is where you put the rune to prevent me from using my speed spell. Am I right?" Peter saw Ghost stomp the ground. He felt the connection with the rune severed after his stomp. He knew GHost just destroyed another rune.

"He's pinpointing the runs and destroying them. A feat many talented cultivators struggle to grasp" James Hall seemed more and more surprised by Ghost. Darius on the other hand was silent despite his job of being a commentator. He was completely focused on Ghost's moves.

"Your brother is in trouble Alicia," Norvin said as though Alicia was not worried enough.

"Lightning Dash" After destroying the rune, there was nothing to stop him from using Lightning Dash. His extreme speed left an afterimage. As Peter stared at the after image, Ghost actually arrived in front of him.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Peter was too slow to defend himself. Michael rapidly punched him, pushing Peter backward. Every single punch targeted the weak points of the armor like the joints. Hence, the armor began to form cracks and dents.

Alicia's blood boiled seeing her brother getting beaten by Ghost.? The crowd saw Peter trying to evade the punches yet he failed to avoid even a single punch.

In a few blinks of an eye, Peter's armor was crushed beyond recognition.

When everyone thought Ghost might give Peter a break, he lifted Peter by his neck. After receiving so many punches, Peter was not at his peak self.

But Michael was not done with him yet
