Chapter 111: Royal Rumble Match (I)
Just like other royal rumbles, the path to the ring was pretty long unlike that of other events. It took Arnold a few seconds before he could approach the ring with a run, and when he did...
All four wrestlers in the ring quickly turned against him.
Three from Rampage, one from Slamdown... All four men cast a fierce gaze on Arnold just as he walked in.
"I guess they are planning to confront the Champion of Grindhouse Wrestling... Oh my God, this isn\'t going to be funny for Max Fury."
Arnold noticed this and swallowed a couple of times. It could only mean one thing to be surrounded by four men in the ring at a Royal Rumble Match...
He was already going to be eliminated right at that time, without even having to stay for a minute.
Arnold was short of what to do at that moment, and before he could know it, one of the men charged at him in aim for a kick.
A Broad Kick.
However, his advanced Agility would never fail him... Not with the attack of an average wrestler like Jaxon Lee.
Although Jaxon Lee was a former Rampage Intercontinental champion, he appeared not to be fast enough or too strong enough.
Arnold had improved massively after so much practice and training... When Jaxon threw his leg at him for a kick, he not only dodged the attack but followed his face with a massive punch.
Jaxon staggered to the side at that instant, giving the other three men a chance to strike. Arnold expected the three other men to charge at one, so he only decided to make an escape move.
No, not outside the ring, just a small move that could save him from an attack for a short period.
Now, the sneak attack moves became useful.
When the three men charged at him, he bent low to the mat and rolled through their feet. When doing this, Arnold grabbed the ankles of two wrestlers and forced them to the mat that instant, face-first.
Now he really knew why the Sneak Attack was recommended by the system. He surely had practiced different moves of the Sneak Attack as well, and now, he could attack an opponent even when in danger, making unbelievable moves that could blow people\'s minds.
This move was just an example. The fans were stunned astonishment just as they saw Max Fury bring two wrestlers to kiss the mat at the same time.
More than what they expected as a first impression, he was really a talented fighter!
The last attacker quickly charged at Arnold with incredible speed, almost as fast as that of Jaxon Lee, but Jaxon was still better.
At that time, Arnold had approached the ropes in one corner, and while this wrestler aimed to clothesline him outside the ring, Arnold dodged the attack by lowering his height enough not to get hit, raised the wrestler\'s leg, and threw him outside the ring.
The force and speed that Arnold used in throwing him made it impossible for this fair-skinned wrestler, and he fell outside the ring face-first.
Arnold sighed.
\'First elimination, let\'s go!\'
He walked back to the middle of the ring and approached Jaxon. The other wrestlers had let go of their ambition to eliminate Max Fury, so they faced themselves for a fight.
Max Fury just appeared to be more powerful than they thought.
However, Jaxon Lee appeared to be the only one who believed that he could get Max Fury beaten and eliminated. He charged at Max Fury again, this time, he was slow, but there was a terrific aura of a devasting strike.
Arnold was always fast in his reaction to attacks, and this had helped him escape most attacks, unlike other matches he had fought. Indeed, the Sneak Attack practices had helped him improve.
Jaxon didn\'t strike with a Broad Kick this time, he came with a punch.
But it was so unfortunate that Max Fury was just a swift wizard. One moment, it would feel like he had attacked successfully, but the next moment, it turned out that he was the one being victimized.
Grabbing his hand, Arnold changed course and twisted it a few times. A groan could be heard through the ring while Jaxon fell to his knees in pain.
Arnold smiled upon that act, knowing what he could actually do at that moment...
Not everyone predicted his next action, but it was done, and there were pointless screams from the congregation.
Suddenly, Arnold let go of Jaxon\'s arm and moved several steps backward. The fact that Jaxon was still holding his pain and suffering from the pain made it easier for him to strike.
And with the blink of an eye, joined with great Agility and Attack Power, Max Fury charged at Jaxon and launched a Sorrowful Kiss.
Jaxon fell at that instant, unconscious.
However, when he tried to pull him up for elimination, the already-finished countdown caused another theme song to play.
Three...
Two...
One...
*Ding...!*
The display of a roaring monster was shown on the wide display screen at the entrance area, and just then, just by hearing the sound of the theme song, the whole arena erupted with shouts.
"OHH OH! It\'s The Devourer! HEAVY AMOS! The indestructible! The predator! The bringer of chaos!"
Arnold could only shrug as the reaction to the arrival of this wrestler was stunning. With the way it looked, he was someone who had a great urge to destroy and eliminate.
Arnold could notice his structure as well, and he looked like a figure weighing up to 350 pounds.
"Oh... Shit!" Arnold caused.
Heavy Amos, with dark glints shining deep in his eyes, charged at the ring with storming footsteps.
Arnold didn\'t have to be told that this big guy was coming for him...
After all...
He is the trending superstar that many have been talking about.
He would have to face his fears.
