As Hell Brat fell out of the arena, the entire arena fell silent.
Even the official knights in the adjacent arena turned their gazes over and stared at the strange puppet floating at the edge of the arena.
The strength displayed by this Hell Brat, whether it was his "domain" or his subtle control of super strength, had completely reached or even far exceeded the standards of an official knight.
However, everyone was more concerned about this Secret Word Knight.
"Charlie Leblanc Bermanchev …"
Someone in the audience suddenly said this name.
"Ten years ago, the [First Place] of the Knight Conference was selected as a Mystery Branch graduate … Now, the commander of the Secret Word Knights, the [Puppet Guards]!"
"It seems like it's really him!
Why do I feel that his aura is completely different from ten years ago?
I remember that back then, this person single-handedly controlled several terrifying puppets created from the prototype of the Monster of Fate during the conference. He defeated several graduates one after another and forcefully won first place!
That murderous aura shocked even many commanders.
Why can't I feel any murderous aura now? There doesn't seem to be much emotion in his eyes.
Moreover, his hair seems to have thinned a lot, and he has lost weight.
Is it because he joined the most mysterious [Secret Word Knights] and received some kind of unique training? "
The audience was in an uproar.
Knight Charlie, on the other hand, had a calm expression as he withdrew his puppet.
He slowly walked past Brat, who had fallen out of the arena, and reached out to pat Brat's thick and hot shoulder.
"You have 'calming muscles', which are pretty good. Unfortunately, you're not completely calm … If the Hell Knights' requirements for you are not high enough, you can try to join our Hell Knights.
This kind of environment is more suitable for 'self-cultivation'. "
Knight Charlie seemed to be extending an olive branch … In fact, it wasn't because he cherished talent. It was because he saw that Brat's strength was relatively great. If he joined the Secret Word Knights, some of the physical work would be greatly reduced.
Brat naturally couldn't change his mind. He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
He wasn't angry either. He knew very well that his defeat this time was purely because his skills were inferior.
…
Inside the Hell Knights.
Archmage Otto was naturally dissatisfied with such an outcome … The result he wanted was for Brat to defeat the knight head-on and shock the entire audience.
"Commander, Brat hasn't …"
Malone stretched out his hand and pressed it down, indicating that Otto didn't need to explain.
"This outcome is pretty good …"
"Yes."
"Charlie Leblanc Bermanchev … Otto, get someone to investigate this person."
"Alright."
"Commander Hugo … How many experts did you recruit during the time I wasn't in the Holy City? He even wrapped them up and hid them in his own order of knights. "
Commander Malone glanced at the Secret Word Knights in the distance.
It seemed that the eight Knights of the Secret Word who had come to participate in this competition were all very interesting. Each of them carried a unique aura.
…
"That puppet just now … was an [Evil Spirit]?!"
Offstage.
Han Dong paid close attention to the entire process.
The moment Sean used Flash Step to circle back, Knight Charlie used an even faster Flash Step to circle back.
"Through the touch of his palm, the 'thin thread' in his body instantly penetrated Xiao En's body … Moreover, the thin thread has the ability to ignore physical defenses. Even Xiao En's demon body was unable to withstand it and was instantly invaded.
But the last puppet … "
Han Dong saw it clearly.
When Sean resisted the control of the thin thread with brute force and stabilized his body at the edge of the ring.
Knight Charlie immediately followed up with an extremely fast finger manipulation process. He directly pulled out this strange puppet wrapped in white rags from the shadows.
Through the rags, the little magic eye saw a pale-faced puppet. Its entire body exuded a ghostly aura similar to [Ghost Story].
It seemed like a very simple push, but it pushed Sean directly off the ring.
In fact, Sean, who was standing firmly at the edge of the ring, immediately dug his demon toes into the ground and used his demon tail to stabilize his center of gravity to avoid making mistakes.
Even if an ordinary warrior were to collide head-on, he would definitely not be able to knock Sean off the ring.
Moreover.
Sean, who fell off the ring, took a full five minutes to stagger up with great difficulty.
"It's definitely a puppet in the form of an evil spirit. I'm not mistaken … Just now, the puppet's hands directly passed through Sean's body and pushed on the surface of his soul, causing Sean to suddenly lose his balance and fall.
Because his soul was affected to a certain extent, he couldn't stand up for a long time.
This senior knight is definitely a master-level stitcher. His exquisite body movement coupled with his almost terrifying control of the thin thread, and the puppet technique wasn't fully used at all.
My hunch is right. If I were to fight against this person, I would definitely lose. "
Demps added on the side, "Charlie … a genius stitcher who came out of the occult ten years ago.
Back then, he fought against other graduates in the competition. Because of his strong hostility, he almost accidentally killed someone … In the subsequent selection process, even if he was ranked first, no knight regiment chose him.
In the end, he was chosen by Captain Hugo.
I didn't expect that after ten years, there would be such a big change now. "
Just like that.
The kid from hell that Han Dong was worried about was defeated.
The next match followed.
"Demps Martin …"
When Alonso Observer said the name, there was a slight pause. After all, his Sorcerer Knight Regiment had already talked to Demps in private.
It was basically a predetermined member.
It depended on how far Demps could go in the competition.
Demps had drawn the Lionheart Knight Regiment, which specialized in defense.
Grand Knight Roland didn't think too much and said in a low voice, "Demps Martin … the librarian once stood up for him in the Great Betrayer Incident. Obviously, he's an elite among elites.
Faulkner, you go. "
"Captain, we have a friendly relationship with the Sorcerer Knight Regiment. This student must be their predetermined student. If I go against him … will it make the knight regiment unhappy?"
"No, don't worry and go … don't go easy on him! Once there's a chance, just knock him out of the arena.
Since he's an elite, he should have backup measures to deal with emergencies. "
"Okay."
In the knight regiment.
A slightly plump knight, whose armor was specially made to look like a bucket, landed heavily on the arena like a meatball.
He didn't wear any shield.
Only a crystal sword shining with a seven-colored luster was attached to his back.
When this person came out, Alonso Observer, as the referee, was somewhat unhappy.
…
"[Refraction Knight – Faulkner Bandmus] … Demps is in trouble."
Abel had heard about the special knights in the Holy City.
"Hmm … he seems to be a very special knight."
When Han Dong looked at this person, he was blinded by the dazzling light.
"Knight Faulkner's special ability is unique in the Holy City.
He can reduce magic damage by 70% and can completely reflect it … even the captain of the Sorcerer Knight Regiment can't defeat this knight in a one-on-one fight. "
Han Dong smiled. "Good … I might be able to see Demps's deeper side."
Han Dong knew very well that Demps was not only proficient in magic.
At this moment, Dempus asked the referee, Alonso, who was on the stage, a question:
"Excuse me, the competition only allows us to bring two pieces of equipment … Can I change one now?"
Alonso already believed that this competition was not fair, so he naturally stood on Demps's side and nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
Demps took off the soft armor on his body that could greatly increase his defense and handed it to the referee.
At the same time, he looked at the audience.
"Is there any senior knight who can lend me a spear-like weapon? It doesn't need to be of great quality, just ordinary will do. "
"Take it …"
A heavy training spear made of black iron was thrown to the arena by the Lionheart Knight Regiment.
Unexpectedly, Demps directly grabbed the heavy spear and pulled it back. A gust of spear energy was released.
"The weight is about the same! Come on, senior knight … "
