Chapter 203: Confrontation with Bennett

Even after marrying a woman from the Eli family, Bennett did not calm down.

This woman also held a high status in the Eli family. Although her intention was to win over Bennett, it also eased Bennett's almost overdrawn spending.

He originally had the capital to become a legendary assassin, but he spent all his resources on other things. Also, since the rewards for the duel contest were very generous, he could no longer participate after being promoted to a legendary assassin, so Bennett deliberately suppressed his own training progress.

This is the information Richard knows, all of which Parker obtained through the Dover family's intelligence agency.

Obviously, Bennett's strength is top-notch even among the ninth-level professionals.

"The duel begins!"

At the command of the legendary referee, he quickly left the field.

Bennett did not enter the invisible state directly, but relied on his speed to close the distance. He flew towards Richard like a phantom.

"It's so fast!"

Richard was very shocked by Bennett's speed, which was much faster than Anthony's after taking the magic potion. In addition to Bennett's own level being higher than Anthony's, the equipment on him must have had an advanced speed enchantment.

The whole person dodged backwards at a high speed, while casting the Fire Spirit Descendant.

Because he had refined the spirit of the fire element, Richard's casting speed of fire magic became faster. In less than two seconds, a huge firebird condensed. The forty or fifty meter high firebird displayed amazing heat and directly ignited the surrounding area. This was the ability of the spirit of the fire element that Richard had refined.

Richard controlled the firebird and flew towards the rapidly rushing Bennett.

Bennett's eyes focused and he went directly into invisibility. Even with Richard's nearly legendary spiritual power, he could only vaguely sense Bennett's location.

He did not slow down, but approached the huge firebird directly.

When Bennett appeared again, he was already in front of the firebird. Bennett held a dagger in his hand with blue fighting spirit glowing on it. He stabbed at the huge firebird, clearly using a magic-breaking fighting skill.

At this moment, the huge firebird suddenly exploded. Bennett was caught off guard and was blown away.

Bennett's advanced equipment obviously had a high magic resistance. He recovered quickly and stood still. It seemed that the explosion just now did not cause any injury to him at all.

Bennett was also very confused by Richard's magic explosion.

"Is he able to detect me when I am invisible? Or is he able to predict my speed in advance?"

"Whatever? This Richard isn't as simple as the information says!"

However, Bennett was still full of confidence. Richard had just broken through to the ninth-level wizard not long ago and had not had much time to familiarize himself with ninth-level magic.

The sudden explosion of the sixth-level fire spirit that just came into the world scared Bennett, but it did not cause any injury to Bennett.

Bennett entered invisible mode again. Richard saw that Bennett had disappeared from the duel field, so he took out the brain of the great god Ou Yun, and hundreds of mental threads moved in all directions.

At the same time, Richard was also constantly casting fireballs. As a ninth-level wizard, Richard was now able to cast fireballs instantly. The fireballs seemed to require no consumption of magic power and bombarded the entire duel arena.

"It seems that I was predicted just now."

Bennett, who was in invisible state, saw that Richard's fireball was not aimed at him at all, but was shot at the entire duel arena. He felt that the spiritual power of Richard, who had just broken through to the ninth-level wizard, could not be that strong.

"Advanced fighting skill, Shadow Escape."

Bennett directly crossed the distance of 100 meters and appeared in front of Richard. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light and stabbed towards Richard's right hand holding the brain of God Ou Yun.

If he was not mistaken, the ability of Richard's spiritual thread would be enhanced by this equipment.

Although Richard could sense the position of the invisible Bennett, the space-based fighting skills caused Richard to misjudge. Looking at Bennett who had closed the distance of a hundred meters and appeared in front of him, Richard's multitasking talent worked frantically. Hundreds of fireballs shattered at a rapid speed and turned into a hundred-meter-high flaming giant that wrapped Richard up.

"Ninth level fire element magic, elemental giant."

Bennett was surprised at Richard's speed, but he didn't hesitate at all. The dagger in his hand pierced the chest of the fire giant fiercely and stabbed Richard's right hand. A black light flashed, but the insect shell's defense couldn't resist Bennett's dagger. It directly cut a hole in Richard's palm, and blood immediately flowed out.

Bennett was about to press on and seriously injure Richard, but suddenly his expression changed drastically and he quickly used Shadow Escape to move backwards.

A mental thread appeared and pulled Bennett's advanced boots. This was the only equipment on Bennett that Richard had time to control, and it directly interrupted Bennett's shadow escape.

The hundred-meter-high flaming giant exploded with a loud bang, and the powerful force of the fire element sent both Richard and Bennett flying.

Richard was not hurt in the explosion due to his high affinity with fire, but Bennett was not hurt at all. His boots, controlled by Richard, could not protect Bennett's feet, which were now covered in blood.

More importantly, this pair of boots is equipped with advanced speed enchantment.

"Damn it!"

Bennett took off the boots controlled by Richard and threw them aside, then took out a bottle of advanced healing potion and new advanced boots from the space equipment.

After taking the advanced healing potion, the injuries on Bennett's feet healed quickly. Then Bennett put on advanced boots, but the speed was not as fast as before.

“I didn’t expect that Richard’s strength would be so strong that he could control my advanced equipment in an instant.”

However, seeing the long wound on Richard's hand, Bennett smiled calmly.

In the audience seats of the dueling arena, a legendary assassin sitting in the dark also showed a satisfied smile, left the dueling venue directly, and teleported back to the Eli Province through the plane space channel magic circle.

Richard looked at Bennett who was recovering quickly, and cast the Elemental Giant again to protect himself.

As for the wound on his right hand, Richard didn't take it seriously.

If it wasn't for Richard, Bennett's close attack just now would probably have severed his entire arm.

Bennett took a few breaths and went invisible again.

He admitted that he had underestimated Richard's strength before. He thought that a ninth-level wizard from a small family, even if he had a very strong magical talent, had only been promoted to the ninth-level wizard for a short time, and his equipment could not be comparable to his own.

But now it seems that Richard's strength is not weaker than his own, so Bennett has to put in his utmost effort.
