Chapter 27: Fatal Five-way Elimination Match (II)
It only took a few seconds before Arnold came to discover that he was wrong. The opponents didn't seem to be approaching him, they were only giving vigilant stares to know who would attack first.
'Oops, my mad.'
The ring was now surrounded by five men, each possessing burning and alerted eyes. The cheers coming from the congregation added to the liveliness... The battle had begun!
Arnold's eyes were directly on Caspian Night who was standing oppositely in his direction. He could sense this destructive figure breathing hot air, his dark vibrant stealing glances at all opponents in a flash.
A Fatal Five-way Elimination Match was different from an ordinary Fatal Five-way Match. With the term "elimination" added, any competitor pinned to the count of three by any opponent would be said to be eliminated, however, the match continues.
It will continue like that until only one man is standing after pinning another opponent. Thus, there would be four eliminations for a winner to emerge.
When the match seemed to have been getting cold, Caspian Night charged at Orion Silver, immediately launching a broad kick with a great impact at the heedless wrestler. Orion Silver never expected an attack from the main threat, of course, he was only aiming to take down Max Fury at first.
Seeing Caspian Night attacking Orion, Thane Ryder, and Landon Bishop, as though in uniform motion, started a punch exchange clash themselves, causing loud shouts from the congregation.
Not seeing a single fist approaching him, Arnold couldn't help but flinch.
"Err..."
Soon, Caspian Night carried Orion Silver as though like a piece of paper and threw him out of the ring, roaring uncontrollably right after.
His terrifying muscles and seemingly thick skin clenched tightly, showing off the true features of a true devourer.
However, while roaring like a wounded lion, a huge leg came slapping hard on his cheeks, causing his once vibrant eyes to turn cold and dull. After the fierce superkick from Thane Ryder, due to standing close to the top rope on one corner, Caspian Night fell out of the ring like a tumbling stone.
Quickly, just as Thane attacked Caspian, Landon charged at him and delivered a dropkick with both legs, also sending him to visit the ringside.
As the cheers and applause echoed loudly, a burning sensation could be felt all over the arena.
But...
"We aren't done yet, I also have an impression to give," Arnold muttered.
Summoning the boldness he needed and charging at Landon Bishop who was almost unaware of an incoming attack, he launched a clothesline with an intense force, making Landon visit the ringside as well.
However, Max Fury was not done.
As the four men were still outside the ring, barely on their feet, he quickly climbed to the top of the turnbuckle and dived against them, causing each and every one of them to fall.
"WHOA! HO!! HO!! What a high risk by Max Fury there. He is doing all it takes to gain the upper hand in this game!"
"High risk, high reward!!"
The commentators couldn't help but scream while watching the incredible drama happening in the ringside.
From one moment to the other, one competitor was sent flying to the outside, only to suffer the same consequences from another opponent. Just a few minutes after the bell rang and the entire arena was already on the verge of absolute eruption.
Although Arnold felt some pain in his back after that dive, he still endured and dragged Orion Silver into the ring.
Of course, he was going to finish him off...
To reduce the rate of threat in the fight.
Orion Silver appeared to have been really affected by Caspian Night's terrifying broad kick. This was why Arnold chose to finish him off first.
One side of his face was already faint red, the sign of the devourer's boot revealing a clear picture. In a rush, he pinned Orion's neck under his arm and delivered a Neckbuster.
The referee rushed down to the spot and began the count quickly.
"ONE. TWO... THREE."
"Orion Silver has been eliminated!"
The voice of the announcer sounded from the announce table, causing a smile on Arnold's cheeks. Soon, his face turned dark as though like an evil countenance as he muttered.
"One gone, three more..."
Arnold heaved a sigh and quickly stood up. Thanks to his alertness, he noticed Caspian Night already dashing into the ring, but well, his alertness didn't do much to save him from the incoming attack.
Caspian Night delivered the same pressured broad kick to Max Fury, causing him a painful, flat fall. Arnold felt his head ring like an alarm a couple of times, his forehead manifested an excruciating pain as if it had been hit hard on a hard rock.
The next moment, he felt himself being pinned.
"ONE... TWO..."
"And Max Fury kicks out. WOW, this is one of Caspian's deadliest moves. Max Fury never stops impressing the Grindhouse universe!" A commentator whispered.
However, for Arnold, it only seemed as if the pain and unconsciousness disappeared bit by bit after every count. Before the referee could hit the third count, he found himself able to kick out so suddenly.
How this was happening? Arnold didn't know.
But anyway, he knew the system, and his advanced Endurance had a hand in it.
The next moment, Arnold saw Landon Bishop and Thane Ryder entering the ring. While he was lying on one corner of the ring, the three men began a triple battle in the middle of the ring.
From time to time, slams and punches could be heard, making it feel as if the ring would collapse in no time.
"What... What?!? What are they tryna do???!" The commentators suddenly bellowed to the pressure of the ring battle.
The voice of the fans also increased like the sound of an approaching truck.
Arnold widened his eyes and glanced up.
Right the top turnbuckle, Thane Ryder and Landon Bishop faced against Caspian Night. There was only one thing common about this scene...
They were about to launch a double suplex from the top of the turnbuckle!!!
Caspian Night was pinned in between the two, clearly appearing to have been weakened. Before he could know it, his legs were in the air as they landed from about 6 feet to the mat, and a huge boom echoed through the ring.
Arnold stared confusedly at the three men, wondering why Thane and Landon would team up to take down Caspian.
Thane quickly covered without hesitation, breathing hard.
"ONE. TWO. THREE!"
"Caspian Night has been eliminated."
Just like that, the main threat of the game was eliminated after a double attack.
Right now, it was only three men remaining!
While Arnold sat and stared from the corner, these duo who had taken down the devourer stared disgustingly at him... The next moment, they matched towards him with bold steps, their face holding a deep sense of destruction.
Arnold knew only one thing in his mind, which he was sure that he might not be able to escape.
It was his turn to get eliminated.
