Chapter 222: The Last Six (6)


    Bloed''s battle caused amotion among the spectators. In fact, several beastmen were looking at him with astonished gazes.


    Bloed did not know it, but Gorde was very famous among the beastmen''s young generation. He was considered one of the favorites in this selection.


    However, he was defeated by Bloed. Moreover, since the start, he did not manage to hurt Bloed even once.


    " His style of battle is very troublesome." A middle-aged male catkin muttered.


    "Troublesome?" Javelin asked confused. "What do you mean, father?"


    " Your friend, he predicted all the actions of Gorde from start to end. Gorde was dancing in the palm of his hand. I even have the feeling your friend has not shown his entire strength yet. Moreover, his saber sh cut through Gorde''s defense as though it was nothing Is it [Skysword]? Amazing as expected"


    Javelin was surprised after hearing his father''s praise. You must know that although his father was not a demigod, he was just half a step away from bing one. In fact, he had assassinated a demigod before.


    Unfortunately, he had not been able to take thest step to be a demigod. In thest twenty years, his cultivation has not improved even a bit.


    That was one of his father''s greatest regrets.


    But even so, as one of the best assassins of the continent, Javelin''s father''s eyesight was exceptional. He managed to see the exceptionalness of Bloed''s saber.


    He was unaware of the existence of [Molecr Disinteration] though, so he linked the ability of Bloed''s saber to cut through anything to a very famous technique rted to Bloed''s former family.


    " [Skysword] is the secret technique of the Kingdom of Alterna, right?"


    "Yes. It''s the most overbearing sword in the continent. Even in the Skysword family, it''s very difficult to learn. Sometimes, nobody can learn it in one hundred years." Javelin''s father exined. He then looked at Bloed and sighed. "How unexpected. In this generation, the Skysword royal family gave birth to two geniuses able toprehend that technique. Fortunately, fate was kind to us."


    "Huh?" Javelin was confused by his father''s words.


    Javelin''s father chuckled bitterly. "Think about it. Just the [World Burning Princess Witch] was enough to make all the countries surrounding the Kingdom of Alterna wary of her potential. Imagine then what would have happened if another genius as her appeared in the Skysword royal family? I don''t know why your friend cut ties with his family, but to be honest, it''s fortunate to us. Otherwise, once he and his sister mature and realize their full potential, the Kingdom of Alterna will see a new golden age, and the kingdoms in the surrounding will live in fear."


    " You are exaggerating, right?"


    "I''m not." Javelin''s father sighed and stopped talking. Instead, he stared at the blue-haired young man exiting the stage.


    [World Burning Princess Witch]. It was the nickname of the princess of the Kingdom of Alterna.


    Javelin''s father was not only the patriarch of the Sharpw family, but he was also the right hand of the king of The Great Savannah. Due to that, he once had the opportunity to travel to the Kingdom of Alterna and met the princess. That was two years ago.


    Back then, he remembered wondering how could such a genius exist?


    Her talent, strength, and wisdom were incredible for a girl of her age. Moreover, she somehow leaned [Skysword], and not content with that, she transformed it into the [World Burning me], a me able to burn space itself.


    Javelin''s father was an assassin, so he was used to observing and measuring the strength of the people he met. And two years ago, when he met the princess, he managed to get a glimpse of her strength.


    The princess of back then was as strong as Rana, Liu Ying, Greta, or the other beastmen that fought today.


    Back then, she was just thirteen, but her strength was already approaching the A-Rank.


    How strong was her today then? Javelin''s father was not sure, but he was sure she was much stronger.


    As for her brother To be honest, he seemed considerably weaker than her.


    But as an assassin, Javelin''s father trusted his instincts a lot.


    And his instincts were telling him that Bloed was dangerous.


    Very dangerous.


    As though he could at any moment destroy everything around him.


    " What a pair of siblings." Javelin''s father mumbled softly, so softly that nobody heard him. "Fortunately, one of them left that family."


    After that, another thought entered at Javelin''s father''s mind.


    " I wonder if there is a way to tie him to this country."


    Bloed was not aware that someone was thinking about him.


    Currently, he was walking towards his seat while thinking about the battle of just now.


    To be honest, Bloed was pretty satisfied.


    Gorde was strong, very strong. Comparable to some weaker A-Rank practitioners.


    But even so, Bloed managed to defeat him easily.


    To Bloed, it was proof that the path he was taking was right.


    When Bloed arrived at his seat, Regina and Liu Ying smiled at him.


    "Congrattions, master."


    "Well done! It''s good you trashed him! I never liked that guy!"


    Bloed smiled wryly. He could see an awkward expression in Rana''s fate. After all, Gorde and her were both acquittances from Moonlight Glow.


    To his surprise, Eve did not seem bothered even although he defeated Gorde.


    "Well done. As expected, I was right to ask you to participate in this selection." Eve said smugly, proud of pulling Bloed and Liu Ying to Moonlight Glow''s side.


    After all, thanks to the two of them, three of the six people that will participate in the mission belonged to Moonlight Glow.


    Such a result was going to increase Moonlight Glow''s reputation among the beastmen greatly.


    Bloed did not care about that, though. The reason he participated here was in part due to the rewards and in part to create a deeper bond with Moonlight Glow.


    Plus, it was not too dangerous, and he could get valuable battle experience fighting the talents of his generation. To Bloed, participating here had mostly advantages with almost no disadvantages.


    '' I also got an idea about how strong the young generation of the continent is.''


    Rhone, Rana, Gorde, Aya, Greta, and Atai.


    Each one was an incredible talent.


    Thinking about that, Bloed could not help but look towards the stage.


    There, the twost candidates were about to start their battle.


    On one side, the cougarkin Atai was crouching with his daggers ready, and in the other, the tigerkin Daena was holding a de.


    As soon as the referee gave the signal, both of them moved.


    And in the next second, the battle ended.


    Throwing a dagger, Atai forced Daena to parry it. Then, he elerated powerfully, arriving behind Daena and stabbing his second dagger in her spine.


    Daena did not even manage to react.


    It was all Atai needed to end the battle.


    " As expected, he is strong." Bloed could not help but mutter.


    Atai He was the strongest candidate Bloed had met.


    Evenpared to Rana or Liu Ying, who also showed overwhelming abilities, he was probably stronger.


    In fact, even Bloed himself was not confident in defeating him unless he used hisst trump card.


    " I guess I still need to be stronger, huh."


    While Bloed thought about the ces where he needed to improve, the duels came to an end.


    Rana, Liu Ying, Greta, Rhone, Bloed, and Atai.


    The six participants from the beastmen side had finally been chosen.


    One weekter, they would face against the outstanding talents from the Boerner Elven Forest and the Sun Kingdom.
