The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 745 - WHETTING THE AUDIENCE'S APPETITE

AFTER arriving at the Floating Coliseum, they all had to separate. Luo Yan and Luo Jin went to the waiting area while the rest teleported straight to team Yunyue's royal box. Unlike during the semi-finals, all the pets of team Yunyue were here – Eclipse as well as the two dragons.

The two Luo brothers, on the other hand, were taken to different waiting rooms. It was not the same as the one during the semi-finals. Just a simple room with a comfortable couch. Probably because they didn't need to stay there for a long time.

As the two were waiting for the match to begin, the Duke of Hearts was already on the rink, entertaining everyone with his usual dramatic flourish.

"Good evening, you peasants! This lord welcomes you to the finals of this year's Rookie Carnival!"

A loud cheer rang in the coliseum.

"This year, we have a pretty good batch of participants. It's probably because this lord is the host this year that's why everything is just so fun and exciting! Don't you all agree?"

"Yes!!!" the audience unanimously shouted.

The duke nodded in satisfaction. "This lord is definitely much better than that dreary Spades. Just look at how boring last year's tournament was. From the beginning, everyone already knew who would win. How could that even arouse anyone's excitement? But look at this year! Because of this lord, an unprecedented result happened! What could be more exciting than that?"

This time, the audience's reaction was not that enthusiastic. Some believed that this result was mainly because of the high-quality rookies the game had this year. While most were still butt-hurt about Dragnar's lost.

The duke was obviously very dissatisfied by this lukewarm reaction.

"Are you doubting this lord? Hmp! Just you wait, this lord had prepared something special for this final round. There's no way, you peasants, wouldn't be in awe once you saw it," he said in his usual arrogant tone.

What the duke said surely whetted the appetite of the audience.

"This lord doesn't want to talk to you lot anymore. So, let's just proceed on introducing our two finalists, shall we?"

The crowd once again cheered. They obviously wanted the match to begin. Also, they're pretty curious as to what the duke had prepared.

"The first one to enter the finals was the absolute dark horse of this Carnival, the AmazingYoungMasterJin!"

After the duke said that, a montage of what the chaos gnome did during the Rookie Carnival appeared on the huge virtual screen floating in the air. Starting from the journey on the sea to the Four-Seasons Island, then to the tournament round. It was like watching some kind of movie trailer with the little gnome as its main character.

It was pretty well-made. Everyone could see how skilled this young master was, showing that he did not get to where he was simply by luck. He got here because he had the ability to do so.

"Everyone here probably didn't expect him to be one of the two remaining players of this year's Carnival. But look, he proved everyone wrong! This lord loves a good underdog story. If I was allowed to bet, I would have probably bet on him. But alas, a good host shouldn't be biased," the duke said in a tone as if he was truly regretting that he wasn't allowed to put his bet on anyone.

"And now, let's move to the second finalist. A popular participant since the beginning, a fearsome Assassin – Noctis! Don't be fooled by his pretty face. If you let your guard down just for a second while fighting him, this lord could assure you that he wouldn't hesitate to slit your throat!"

As the duke said that, the people in the crowd suddenly remembered the match between Noctis and Winged Tassel. The image of the other piercing Winged Tassel's neck with an angelic smile on his face was still embedded in their minds. They couldn't help but shudder for no reason. Then, they nodded voluntarily.

Just like with the young master, a montage of Noctis appeared on the virtual screen. Seeing the unimaginable beauty on the screen, they momentarily forgot their fears. Instead, their hearts were filled with admiration for the white-haired elf. Noctis' every move was like art. From the way his white hair moved with the wind to the way he danced with his sword. It was just all undeniably beautiful.

The players on the audience couldn't help but record this montage. Of course, the first one who did so was Shen Ji Yun. He opened his recording function of his camera so fast, he didn't even notice it himself. His only gripe with this situation was that so many others could see his rabbit like this.

But even though he felt like that, he was still happy that many others could see just how amazing Luo Yan was.

"Now, let's all welcome on the stage, our two finalists – AmazingYoungMasterJin and Noctis!"

After the duke said that, two floating palanquins suddenly appeared on the stage. On each palanquins stood the two finalists.

Because the two didn't know what was happening on the rink while they were inside their waiting room, they were both surprised when they suddenly teleported here. Luo Yan was okay. He adapted quickly. But Luo Jin still had a dazed expression on his face. Which many found kind of cute.

"Now that our finalists are here, let this lord show you what I prepared for this final round."

The duke the flew up and snapped his fingers. The moment he did, four crystals of varying colors suddenly appeared on the rink. Each of the four corners had one crystal erected. One was red, one was yellow, one was purple, and the last one was pure black.

"You lot must be wondering what these crystals are for. Are you curious, huh? Do you want this lord to explain it to you?" the duke said, purposely arousing everyone's curiosity.

By now, everyone had already understood the duke's personality. So, they unanimously agreed to shout;

"Yes!!!"
