Chapter 299: Monkey King (3)
The clone’s playful demeanour vanished, replaced by a cold, focused intensity. He launched himself at Adrian with renewed fury, his staff moving with blinding speed. Adrian did his best to defend himself, but the clone’s attacks were too powerful and too fast for him to counter.
Blow after blow rained down on Adrian, each one driving him further back. The clone’s staff struck his ribs, his legs, and his arms, each impact cracking his bones and forcing the troll’s blood to work over the limit just to keep up.
Despite that, Adrian’s movements grew sluggish, his vision blurring as he struggled to keep up.
In a final, desperate move, Adrian lunged forward, aiming a stab at the clone’s heart. The clone easily sidestepped the attack, bringing his staff down hard on Adrian’s back. Adrian fell to the ground, his dagger slipping from his grasp.
The clone triumphantly stood over him and announced. "It’s over."
Adrian lay on the ground, gasping for breath, every part of him aching. But even as darkness closed in, he refused to give up. He would defeat this clone, no matter what it took.
Despite his body screaming to stop, Adrian forced himself back to his feet. Sun Wukong’s clone looked at him and was genuinely surprised. Although the mortal lacked strength, his tenacity was something else entirely.
The clone’s eyes narrowed, and his lips curled into a smirk. "You just don’t know when to quit, do you?"
Adrian just glared at Sun Wukong before turning his attention to the colosseum manager. "Do you not have a barrier to protect the spectators?"
"Y-Yes, we do. But we haven’t used it in a while-"
"Then raise the barrier or ask everyone to leave," Adrian cut him off, turning his attention back to the clone.
