Chapter 476

Thud!

When such a clear and audible landing sound rang out, all the people hiding in the dark were shocked.

This was because the person who appeared in front of Sean was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Alidia?!"

Anxi turned abruptly to look behind him, but did not see the figure of the knight who had been guarding him all this while.

Indeed.

The opponent who appeared before Shien was Alidia.

"It's him …!?"

"Why did he go out?!"

"Could it be …"

Everyone fell into an unknown uproar because of this.

"It's actually him?"

Lockhart's expression changed as well, his eyes burning with an even more intense fighting spirit.

"There's going to be a good show."

Jarvis, Jacinta, Yule, and the others all had such thoughts.

"Minister Alidia?"

Lia covered her small mouth. Even Shana, who was beside her, was startled by this.

On the other hand, Shien showed an interested expression at Alidia's sudden appearance.

"I didn't expect you to be the first one to show up."

Shien appeased Youlin, who was about to threaten him, and turned his gaze to the opposite side.

There, Alidia was hugging his sword and standing there expressionlessly.

Soon after, the most powerful human knight opened his mouth.

"I've said it before. I'm very interested in your ability, not to mention that you seem to be different now." Alidia stared closely at Shien, a ripple appearing in his eyes, causing him to say in a low voice, "Although I'm a little embarrassed before His Majesty, this seems to be a good opportunity. That's your goal, isn't it?"

Clearly, Alidia had seen through Shien's thoughts.

He knew that Shien wanted to find an opponent to test his current ability.

Alidia understood such an impulse.

"Back then, when I entered the Inner Sanctum and achieved Legendary, I was impatient to find someone to test my ability against just like you." Alidia said. "No, it should be said that everyone who entered the Inner Sanctum and gained something would be the same after coming out. Only, they wouldn't be as unbridled as you, directly releasing mana and provoking every champion in the Imperial Capital."

"Is that so?" Shien raised a brow. "So you already know that I've entered the Inner Sanctum?"

"It's not a secret," Alidia said flatly. "Isn't it?"

Indeed.

Not only did the Sword Saint Knights know that Shien and Rosie visited the Inner Sanctum, but every clergyman in the Inner Sanctum knew about it.

In addition, Sean's strength had suddenly improved. Anyone who knew about the existence of the Inner Sanctum would think that he had already entered it.

If that was the case …

"Many people are curious about your current strength." Alidia looked straight at Sean and said word by word, "Including me."

Hearing that, Shien narrowed his eyes.

Actually, he was a little surprised.

Although he knew that Alidia was paying attention to him, Shien didn't expect that the first person to appear in front of him would be Alidia when he urgently needed someone to test his current ability.

This cold-blooded, cold-blooded, and ruthless Shield of the Kingdom, in order to test Shien's current ability, actually abandoned his duty to protect the King and showed himself. How could Shien not be surprised?

But …

"Alright."

Shien couldn't help but laugh.

And he laughed very happily.

There was no other reason.

"As an opponent, you are indeed qualified."

As the leader of the Royal Knights, a descendant of a Hero like the Royal Family, and a Legendary Expert with a level of 98, Aridia was known as the number one Knight of the human race. No one could surpass him.

Even Rosie had mentioned more than once that in the entire kingdom, the only person that she wasn't confident in defeating was this leader of the Royal Knights.

This leader of the Royal Knights could even suppress Tierre when she turned into a ghost. Even when Shien and Rosie were fighting with all their might, this leader of the Royal Knights could still cut off their [Demon Swords] with a single slash. With such strength, one could imagine how terrifying it was.

Now, Shien could use [External Destiny] to spy on the terrifying and scorching magma-like magic power in Alidia's body. This told him how powerful this opponent was.

To put it bluntly, in this era, other than the three goddesses and the six demonic people, the strongest person in the entire Omnippertansen was this leader of the Royal Knights who was level 98.

His strength was evaluated to be in no way inferior to any of the thirteen human heroes who had fought against the Demon Beasts a thousand years ago. He was now the strongest of the human race and the pillar of the kingdom. Even a legendary expert like Lockett wanted to challenge him, so his strength was evident.

If this kind of opponent wasn't qualified, then what was?

"Let me have a look first."

Alidia was the first to draw his sword.

"Let me see if you have the ability to force me to use my unique skill."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around him changed.

It became extremely heavy.

The terrifying and scorching magma-like magic power in Alidia's body was suddenly released.

That magic power seemed to have ignited the entire world, causing the temperature in the air to rise rapidly.

Seeing this, Shien didn't hesitate and immediately drew his holy sword.

"Clang!"

At this moment, a huge broadsword heavily slashed in front of Shien and landed on the holy sword that Shien had drawn out, causing a deafening sound that sounded like a bell to ring.

A strong gust of wind instantly exploded.

The terrifying power shattered the ground under Shien's feet.

Dust exploded around Shien's body, filling the air like sand.

Alidia's figure appeared in front of Shien, maintaining the posture of slashing down his sword as he confronted Shien.

That scene was exactly the same as when Shien suddenly launched a surprise attack after his fight with Rosie was stopped in the palace's arena.

The difference was …

"You've really become much stronger than before."

Alidia stared at Shien, who had raised his holy sword to block his attack. Shien's expression didn't change, and he even seemed to be able to do it with ease. It was as if he didn't feel any strain at all.

Back then, when Shien blocked Alidia's sword, he was almost injured by Alidia and had to bear a great deal of pressure.

This time, Shien only used one hand and easily blocked Alidia's probing attack.

Shien grinned.

"Speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with you from back then."

When Alidia heard these words, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and pressed on his shoulder.

Shien's figure was like a ghost, suddenly appearing behind Alidia.

"It's just as well. Let's settle the score from that time properly this time."

When these words entered Alidia's ears again, his entire body trembled, and a sense of danger rose in his heart.

"Clang!"

Shien's holy sword suddenly slashed down, mercilessly aiming for Alidia's head.

"Boom!"

In the square in front of Borztutt's house, a loud explosion sounded.

An astonishing gust of wind erupted, stirring up waves and stirring up sand and dust. It was as if an explosion had occurred.

"They're fighting!"

"Earl Borztutt and Marquis Erbene are fighting!"

The experts hiding in the dark couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

"Alidia …"

An Xi also held his breath. His attention was completely attracted by the sudden eruption of the battle, and he could no longer care about anything else.

"Roar!"

You Lin also rose into the air, and she roared excitedly as she watched the sudden and intense battle in the square.

Under such circumstances, in the square, within the explosive wind, two figures suddenly dashed out like meteors chasing each other.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang …!"

Accompanied by the intense sound of metal clashing, the two meteor-like figures set off a series of blade and sword shadows, causing the holy sword and the greatsword to continuously collide at a terrifying speed.

Every time they collided, sparks would fly.

Every time they clashed, a blast of air would ring out.

In an instant, Shien and Alidia entered into a state of intense battle. It was like a thunderbolt against a thunderbolt, a needle against an awn, or even Mars crashing into Earth. In an instant, they erupted with frightening combat power.

In this intense battle, the first person to gain the upper hand was Shien.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! …

Not only did Shien move as fast as a meteor, but he also moved erratically like a phantom. One moment, he appeared on Alidia's left, the next moment, he appeared on Alidia's right, the next moment, he appeared in front of Alidia, and the next moment, he appeared behind Alidia. Instantly, he left behind countless afterimages and attacked Alidia fiercely as if he had formed an army.

"He can actually teleport …?!"

Alidia's expression changed when he saw this scene.

Teleportation was a very advanced ability that would only appear in the hands of Spatial Mages. It was almost impossible for a Warrior who hadn't learned Spatial Magic to master this ability.

Alidia had heard of some Legendary-level powerhouses who had learned some skills in this aspect by chance. However, those skills usually had certain limitations. They could only be activated when they were attacked, and could only be used for dodging. Otherwise, they could only be used under certain conditions. Alidia had never heard of any warrior who could teleport as he pleased.

This was the ability to connect directly with space, and even the masters of the Godly Clan and Demon Clan couldn't touch it.

And Sean seemed to have mastered this kind of ability that could be called a divine skill.

No, he didn't only have this godly ability.

In this instant, the sword technique that Shien used was also godly.

Swoosh!

Shien suddenly appeared before Alidia. Like an arc of light under the moonlight, the holy sword in his hand instantly slashed out countless sword shadows.

The slashes were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes heavy, and sometimes light. Sometimes, they looked ordinary, and sometimes, they contained hidden murderous intent. It was as if the slashes themselves had spirituality, causing Alidia to misjudge the timing and strength of his attacks several times.

Such a marvelous sword technique, coupled with his teleportation ability, caused Aridia to instantly fall into a disadvantageous position.

If not for his high level, powerful strength, and abundant combat experience, Alidia was sure that he would have been knocked to the ground by those horrifying slashes without the strength to fight back.

"You're already so powerful …?!"

Knowing that he couldn't hold back anymore, Alidia didn't hesitate to release his magic power and condense the [Demon Sword].

However, at the same time, among the countless sword shadows, one suddenly cut through the air. Like a deadly poisonous scorpion's stinger, it heavily hit Alidia's greatsword that was condensing the [Demon Sword].

Bang!

The [Demon Sword] that Alidia was condensing instantly dissipated, and his magic power was forcefully shattered.

"What?!"

Alidia couldn't believe his eyes.

At this moment, Shien's voice came.

"There's nothing to be surprised about." Shien said, "To use the [Demon Sword], the most basic condition is to gather enough magic power on the weapon and form a magic blade."

"Since that's the case, as long as one has enough eyesight, agility, high-level sword skills, and powerful mana control, one can use their own mana to break the [Demon Sword] that's forming before the opponent's [Demon Sword] is formed, so that it can't be formed successfully."

This was an ability that only the current Shien had.

[External Destiny] gave him unparalleled and perfect combat techniques, and all his weapon skills had reached the god-realm.

The enhanced perception and senses brought about by [Destiny of External Perception] also satisfied Sean's supreme eyesight in the fierce battle.

On the other hand, [Destiny Beyond] gave Sean the ability to teleport, giving him sufficient agility and speed.

In addition, [External Destiny] gave him unparalleled magic power control, which finally allowed Shien to complete this shocking move.

"I'm indeed different from before."

Shien's voice turned into a half-smile.

"You'll be in trouble if you're careless. Captain Alidia! "

As he spoke, Shien had already flashed above Alidia's head. Like a bolt of lightning, he swooped down with the holy sword in his hand and slashed at Alidia's head, creating a sonic boom.

Clang —!

In a hurry, Alidia only had the time to raise the broadsword in his hand to block the attack above his head. Then, with a loud and clear sound, he was sent flying by a terrifying force and smashed into the ground.

"Courtesy demands reciprocity. This is payback for what you did before."

Shien's voice rang out again.

Bam!

Alidia's figure crashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and shockwaves. Then, he was buried by the rubble from the shattered ground.

"Alidia!"

Ansy could not help but cry out in shock.

"How …!?"

Lia cried out in shock as well.

"Captain …!"

This time, it was Shana who covered her mouth.

As for the elites hidden in the shadows, they all inhaled sharply.

That Alidia was defeated just like that?

How … how was this possible?
