With the appearance of Kara, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly changed. Many people looked at Lieutenant General John and the fat representative differently. Although there were no hard and fast rules about the opponent's level in individual battles, generally speaking, no one would choose to make an exception.
It was like everyone was fighting in a level 4 house, but someone was fighting in a level 6 car …. It would cause public outrage!
Although Kara had not fought for decades, there was no such thing as old age in this world. After stepping into the legendary realm, the lifespan of a person was much longer than that of an ordinary person. Kara was now almost 120 years old, but his body was still quite strong. He could be considered "in the prime of his life" among the legendary realm, so his strength was probably higher than it was in the past.
So …. on Fangzheng's side …. Who would be the one to fight?
With this thought in mind, many people turned their attention to Fangzheng. In many people's opinion, Fangzheng's best option now was to choose to forfeit. This could be considered as giving the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Wealth some face and not offend them too much. After all, many of the people present were political figures. As the saying goes, forgive people wherever possible. If the Nation of Fire was pushed too far, it would obviously not be a good choice in their opinion.
Since the other party had sent Master Kara, it was also a way for Fangzheng to step down. He could use an excuse like "I admire Master Kara's achievements and don't want to fight with him" and choose to forfeit. That way, the Nation of Fire and the Nation of Wealth could at least save some face, right?
But unfortunately, Fangzheng's thoughts were obviously different from everyone else's.
On the platform opposite Kara, a light flashed. The next moment, a girl in a white robe, a hat, and a golden staff appeared in front of everyone.
"Who is she?"
"Judging from her attire …. Is she a priest from the Holy Cathedral?"
"I've never seen this girl before?"
Everyone was taken aback when they saw the white-robed witch in front of them. Then, they started discussing among themselves. Kara, on the other hand, was expressionless as he stared coldly at the girl.
"What's your name? Little girl? "
Facing Kara's question, Hecate turned its head slightly.
"Top Seat …. Hecate."
"Huh?"
"This girl sure talks big …"
Upon hearing Hecate's reply, many people present sucked in a breath of cold air. Not for any other reason, but because the title of "Apex Throne"... was simply too arrogant! One must know that even the Pope of the Holy Cathedral wouldn't dare to use such a title to address himself. Yet, a little girl who looked no more than ten years old actually dared to call herself the "Apex Throne" in front of the "Dragon Slayer". How arrogant!
"Hmph, foolish mortal."
Fangzheng snorted coldly as he listened to the murmurs of the surrounding crowd. These people did not know that Hecate had announced his title not because he was arrogant, but because he was used to being a disciple of the famous world.
For humans, things like 'titles' were given by others to describe a person's great achievements or battle style. For example, Kara's title of 'Dragon Slayer' was like this. But for the disciples of the red world, it was completely different.
The disciples of the red world all had "true names", which were the names in the "red world". But because some words did not exist in this world, they had to be compressed and changed in a language that the humans of this world could understand.
For example, the "Tribulation Fire of Heaven" Alastor. His true name was "Tribulation Fire of Heaven". The "Heaven" in "Tribulation Fire of Heaven" represented heaven and earth, that is, the world. "Tribulation Fire" was a flame used by religions on Earth to describe the destruction of the world and the burning of everything. In fact, his true name was "The God of Fire released by the heavens to destroy the world".
As for the "name" Alastor, it was actually a name given by humans to confirm their existence in this world. In the eyes of the disciples of the red world, this name was meaningless.
The same was true for Fangzheng's "Snake of Sacrifice". The "sacrifice" represented the ceremony of serving the gods, and the "snake", due to the phenomenon of "shedding", was often regarded as "death and rebirth" in ancient myths. Therefore, the snake was also a symbol of life, fertility, and the earth.
Moreover, the Ouroboros represented "endless", so it was the authority of the immortal "God of Creation" in this world. Therefore, the true meaning of the "Snake of Sacrifice" was "the God of Creation and Immortality served by the disciples of the red world".
As for the true name of Hecate's "Seat of Top", "Top" in the language of this world meant the top of the head, and "Seat" meant "the place where the stars gather" (constellation), so "Seat of Top" also meant "the gathering of the stars above the head".
At the same time, the name also had another meaning. "Top" represented the highest peak, and "Seat" was located below the position of the gods, so another meaning of "Seat of Top" was "the witch who serves the highest position of the gods".
Since Hecate was the witch directly under the "Snake of Sacrifice", the God of Creation of the "red world", she was naturally the highest-ranking witch among the disciples of the red world.
By the way, the meaning of Tiria's true name, "Airan", meant "dedicated everything to him". Of course, it was needless to say who the "him" was referring to.
Therefore, every time Hecate introduced herself, she wasn't showing off her title. Instead, it was as if she was reporting, "I am so-and-so in charge of so-and-so in a certain department of a certain company." If this sentence was translated, it would be, "I am the witch who serves the highest God, Hecate."
Of course, humans wouldn't understand this habit, and the disciples of the red world were too lazy to explain. After all, it was because the human language couldn't be fully understood that they chose to use this true name to introduce themselves.
"Little girl, I can give you a chance. Don't you intend to surrender?"
Of course, Kara didn't have any opinions about Hecate's title like the others. He only stared at Hecate and asked in a low voice. However, Hecate didn't answer. She didn't even say a word and only stared at the old man in front of her.
"Very well!"
Being ignored by the young lady before him, Kara couldn't help but feel a little angry. He wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with. Since this young lady refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, he would let her have a taste of his strength!
"In that case, let me see the strength of a little girl like you!"
"What kind of power is this?!"
Feeling this power, everyone was shocked. Fortunately, they were protected by the rule barrier in the arena. If not, perhaps they would have been completely burned to ashes the moment the flames appeared!
Is this the power of a 'dragon slayer'?
Is this the true strength of a legendary powerhouse?
Just by summoning flames, he could burn the sky and destroy the earth. Without the protection of the rule barrier, any existence below legendary would be instantly turned to ashes?!
What kind of power is this!
"This, this isn't just legendary power!"
At this time, even Bishop Karl's expression changed.
"He's already half a step into that realm! That realm that mortals can't reach!! "
"What?"
Hearing Bishop Karl's words, Great Knight Aster turned his head to look at Bishop Karl in shock.
"You're saying that …"
"I'm sure that this power … this power isn't just legendary power. If it's only legendary power, it can't pass through the rule barrier. It must be known that the ones who created this Instrument of Holy Judgment were the four former extraordinary beings. And the nomological barrier they created was enough to withstand the power of the Legendary level! Unless … "
"Unless that old guy already has Transcendent power!"
At this moment, Great Knight Yast's face turned ugly. He finally understood why the Kingdom of Fire had invited him, their guardian. After all, it had been hundreds of years since there had been an existence that could enter the realm of Transcendents!
Although Kara's current strength could barely be considered to have reached the realm of extraordinary, after all, although his aura had passed through the rule barrier, it could not completely affect other people. This meant that he was still a distance away from the realm of extraordinary, but … he was currently the existence closest to that realm on this continent!
"Oh no, we were too careless. Damn it, I didn't expect the Kingdom of Fire to have such a trump card … Oh no, where's that lady?"
Thinking of this, Bishop Karl hurriedly looked at Hecate. Then, he froze on the spot.
In the face of the flames that could burn everything, the white-robed witch's expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, she just raised the scepter in her hand and looked forward.
At that moment, Kara roared and pushed his hands forward. Soon, raging flames gushed out from his hands and rolled towards the witch in front of him.
But just as the flames were about to completely devour the petite witch, a crisp sound rang out.
"Ding Ling."
It was a soft sound, so subtle that it could not be heard if one did not listen carefully. But what happened next caused everyone to widen their eyes in shock.
In an instant, the aggressive flames were extinguished as though they were swept away by an invisible, cold wind. Kara's body trembled abruptly and he staggered two steps back. His eyes widened as he stared ahead.
There, Hecate was still quietly standing in the same place, holding the golden staff in its hand, not moving at all.
"You … … you … …"
Kara slowly opened his mouth and stared at Hecate. He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth and dripped to the ground.
"Master Kara!?"
"What the hell happened?!!"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were all stunned! What was going on? They could feel the powerful power contained in the raging flames just now, but why? Why did the situation turn around in the blink of an eye?
"How … can … you … have … extraordinary power …?"
Kara slowly raised his hand and pointed at Hecate in despair. But before he could finish his words, blue flames suddenly erupted from Kara's body and instantly enveloped him completely. Not long after, the thin figure completely disappeared along with the flames.
"…"
The entire arena was dead silent. Everyone looked as if they had been petrified by magic. They stood rooted to the ground, unable to believe their eyes as they stared at the spot where Kara had disappeared.
Kara is dead?
That legendary existence from the Country of Fire disappeared just like that?
No, not only that, what did he say before he disappeared?
Extraordinary Power?
Extraordinary Power?!
At this thought, many people turned pale. They turned their heads with difficulty and looked at the witch who was still standing quietly on the platform.
Could it be … that the witch was a transcendent existence?!
