Chapter 28: Farewell to Familiar Faces
Everyone thought that running in front of these monsters was the purpose of the assessment,after all, these are all level-six monsters, equivalent to the strength of entering the emperor’s domain,they are terrifying beings capable of soaring through the clouds in the sky, so for a Broken Army level to defeat an Emperor level is as difficult as reaching the sky in a single step.
However, there is now such a little girl, and she has achieved it.
Only the four-foot-tall little girl, Dragon Slayer, shocked everyone with her punch,while the monster that was knocked flying shook its head and climbed up,evidently feeling very uncomfortable from taking that blow.
If it were an ordinary creature, it would surely be provoked and instinctively fight to the death with Dragon Slayer. But as creatures of the sixth level, they have acquired wisdom. Faced with a formidable opponent like Dragon Slayer, compared to facing a large group of easily obtainable sheep, this creature hesitated not and chose the latter.
Without even a glance at Dragon Slayer, it headed towards other participants to hunt them down.
Dragon Slayer obviously also hesitated for a moment; she hasn’t had enough of it yet.
As the Wind Slash Ghost approached from the side, it immediately looked at Dragon Slayer with endless admiration, its demeanor resembling that of a parent witnessing their child achieve great success, tears of joy welling up. The Shating Iron Sword, on the other hand, remained much more composed, but his admiration for Dragon Slayer’s martial arts was evident.
Kaga was obviously taken aback this time and said to the staff beside him.
Kaga was obviously taken aback this time and said to the staff beside him, “Add her in as well. Although I’m not sure if her actual age matches her appearance, she’s clearly a genius. Skip the rest of the assessment for her.”
“Yes, sir.”
Tyr, who had already slipped to the other side of the square, wore the same stunned expression as Butterfly of Sunflowers. He never expected Dragon Slayer to be such a fierce loli. Although he had sensed her powerful aura before, the shock this time was beyond comparison. To knock back a Level 6 monster with just one punch was more frightening than when she used a forbidden spell to kill the Level 5 monster, the Ogre King!
This also indirectly reflects the quantum leap in Dragon Slayer’s strength. If it were her now, she probably wouldn’t need forbidden spells to kill monsters like the ogre king.
As time passed by second by second, Tyr thought the assessment should be nearing its end. However, he suddenly saw a huge clock appear not far from the square.
“Judgment Array!” Tyr blurted out. This was the Light Sword Formation learned by Diaz. Could it be that he also came to participate in the assessment?
Curious, Tyr and Arena exchanged a glance, and the three of them immediately ran towards the direction of the clock.
But before they reached the origin of the clock, Tyr already heard Diaz’s roar, a sound usually heard only in fierce battles.
“Hahaha, well done, well done! Only this kind of challenge is worthy of Avalon’s assessment. Without monsters of this caliber as combatants, what kind of assessment would it be!”
Buzz!
The massive clock buzzed and clattered, while a sixth-level monster was banging against the holy shield surrounding Diaz!
Although the attacking power of a sixth-level monster was terrifying, Diaz’s judgment array was evidently more potent than during the Duke’s banquet. Even this sixth-level monster could only crack the holy shield within five seconds, but it couldn’t shatter it.
However, after five seconds, it would be Diaz’s turn to counterattack!
“Die! Judgement Saint!”
In battle, Diaz could shamelessly shout out his ultimate moves, which Tyr found quite admirable.
And in the next moment, the two angels standing around Diaz lifted their holy swords like Valkyries and flew towards the sixth-level monster.
The terrifying speed left the monster with no time to react before it was pierced by the holy swords of the two angels. Then, a dazzling light descended from the sky, sweeping over the sixth-level monster like a tornado! The creature immediately emitted an unprecedented wail, its deafening cry threatening to rupture Tyr’s eardrums.
The surrounding participants hurriedly fled, their expressions more terrified than when they saw the sixth-level monster chasing after them!
Boom! The waves of holy light storms grew stronger and stronger, and the terrifying heat formed waves surging in all directions. Some weaker individuals even sat directly on the ground, obviously intimidated by Diaz’s terrifying power!
“Disintegrate, you humble creatures!” Diaz laughed heartily. As soon as his words fell, the agonized monster immediately dissipated like a castle made of sand, rapidly dispersing in the gusty wind, until it turned into flying ashes.
Kaga was also stunned for a moment this time, then he smiled slightly and nodded.
“Well done, much stronger than I was at the time. This one also skips the rest of the assessment process.”
“Yes, sir,” the white-clad staff member recorded without hesitation. Obviously, even he couldn’t ignore Diaz’s terrifying talent.
For a moment, the entire audience was captivated. The awe-inspiring power, the incredibly handsome lines—all of it made most young people admire him. However, after defeating his opponent, Diaz gradually regained his composure. His flushed face turned pale, and a hint of elegance slowly emerged.
Tyr could only shake his head in disapproval. Despite Diaz’s prowess, he couldn’t emulate those exaggerated movements and lines. Even if he could, Tyr didn’t find them attractive.
“Diaz, Your Excellency.” Tyr thought for a moment and ultimately decided to approach Diaz. After all, having an additional powerful ally in such unfamiliar surroundings wouldn’t hurt. Diaz, seeing Tyr and his companions, showed no surprise and offered an elegant smile in response.
“123, Your Excellency.”
“Just call me Tyr here.” Tyr couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile. The mercenary name “123” was too ridiculous. He was considering whether or not to register a new mercenary account.
Diaz displayed a knowing expression and then spoke.
“Lord Tyr, it’s been a while. And Miss Arena. Hmm… and this is…”
“Call her the Butterfly of Sunflowers.” Tyr said casually, and Diaz nodded.
“Well then, nice to meet you for the first time, Miss Butterfly of Sunflowers.”
“Hello, Lord Diaz.” Faced with the powerful Diaz, Butterfly of Sunflowers clearly felt a terrifying sense of oppression, causing her speech to involuntarily become more formal. Diaz looked slightly taken aback, then shook his head. He was about to say something when he was interrupted by the arrival of a figure in red.
“Lord Diaz is truly amazing.”
“My apologies for the inconvenience, everyone. Let me introduce you.” Diaz said to the red figure beside him.
“This is Leia Lemar, descendant of the demigod General Ries from the Kingdom of Cyril.”
Leia!!
Tyr’s pupils constricted. There was no need for Diaz to introduce her. With just one glance, he could tell who this gallant female warrior was! How many times had he been harassed by this girl in the past, he had long lost count. Even if Tyr were blind, he could recognize her by her scent alone.
However, while Miss Leia was lively and adorable when she was by the Yuehai, and especially so when facing Claude, she appeared quite aloof in front of others. When she saw Tyr, her eyes showed so much resentment that she seemed ready to draw her sword and attack.
Tyr pondered for a moment. As a male, he couldn’t recall having any interactions with Leia. So why did she suddenly dislike him so much?
However, poor Tyr had no idea that Leia still felt guilty about the time he accidentally kissed Yuehai. Now, seeing the culprit in person, she couldn’t suppress the surge of emotions. If it weren’t for Diaz and the others present, she might have really rolled up her sleeves and started scolding him right then and there.
