Chapter 477

Everyone present knew that Shien was strong.

If he wasn't strong, could he have single-handedly defeated the Slaughterer Clan?

If he wasn't strong, could he have single-handedly destroyed half of the kingdom's knights?

If he wasn't strong, could he have tamed the Adol's Black Dragon?

If he wasn't strong, could the Liusica Family have kicked an iron plate and razed the entire noble district to the ground?

Even the Empire's Prince Harvey, who was a descendant of the orthodox Hero, had lost to Shien. This had already proven Shien's strength.

However, even if that was the case, no one would have thought that Sean would be a match for Alidia.

Alidia was the strongest human, the kingdom's number one knight.

He was known as the strongest knight below the Transcendent Level, and was the symbol of invincibility in the kingdom.

Such a Alidia was feared even by the various races and realms' Legendary-level powerhouses. Who would have thought that he would lose to a young aristocrat who was also an adventurer?

No one would have thought!

Therefore, when they saw Alidia being sent flying by Shien's sword and crashing into the ground, his body buried in the rubble and completely disappearing, everyone, including Ancey, Lia, and Shana, felt a wave of shock.

Even Legendary-level powerhouses like Jacinta, Lockett, and Yule had solemn expressions. The way they looked at Shien was completely different from before.

Because they knew that this was a person who could threaten them.

Even if he was ridiculously young, not to mention 30 years old, he was only in his early twenties. No one was willing to believe that such a young person could threaten them. The facts in front of them spoke louder than words.

"How did he suddenly become so strong?"

Harvey was also filled with shock.

Although Harvey had fought with Shien before and knew how strong Shien was, Shien's strength did not shock him too much at that time.

Harvey did not even use his unique skill before admitting defeat in front of Shien. Rather than saying that he admitted that he was not as skilled as Shien, it would be better to say that he was doing Shien a favor for his own purposes.

Of course, Harvey did not think that he would be able to defeat Shien if he used his full strength.

No matter what, Shien was still very strong. He was able to single-handedly destroy nearly half of the kingdom's knights and suppress the old Demons Faction, which had already proven his strength.

However, Harvey had also heard that Shien's unique skill was the ability to adjust his own level and skills under certain conditions. It was not a combat skill like his. Therefore, if he used his full strength, even if he could not win for sure, Harvey did not think that he would easily lose to Shien.

Hence, before this, although Harvey valued Sean and valued him, he merely lowered his stance and did not lower his voice too much.

But now, the strength that Shien had displayed had, Shien, had had not been that.

That frightening Teleportation ability and the dazzling Divine Domain sword techniques had even put Aridia at a disadvantage. In the end, Aridia had been sent flying by a single slash. If it were Harvey himself, he wouldn't have the confidence to receive such a blow.

No, not to mention withstanding it, he would not even be able to withstand it for a period of time.

I'm afraid that with the strength that Sean has shown now, it's still unknown if I can hold on for more than ten seconds.

Harvey was dumbfounded. He was stunned.

Similarly, the young ladies in Pottutt's house were also dumbfounded and astonished.

"Shien … Mr. Shien actually sent Captain Aridia flying?"

Lumia could not believe her eyes.

"So … so powerful …!"

Melica's eyes were also shining.

"He has become so powerful …"

Even Vivienne felt a little dazed.

Originally, these young ladies were at a loss when Shien suddenly started fighting with Aridia.

But now, seeing that Shien had the upper hand, the young ladies were in disbelief and astonishment.

Only Ai Yi stared fixedly at Shien and murmured.

"His performance is not bad, but it won't be that easy to defeat that knight …"

Only Ai Yi would be able to discover it, right?

No, Shien had also discovered it.

With the perception of [Destiny], Shien could clearly see that Aridia's magic did not weaken. Instead, it had become even more majestic.

"Come out."

Shien looked straight at the crater in front of him and spoke calmly.

"It would be a miracle if this level of magic could do anything to you. Stop pretending, Captain."

Sean's words made the pit in front of him, which was still filled with falling rubble, suddenly tremble.

"Bang!"

In the next second, an astonishing burst of magic burst out from the crater, blasting away countless pieces of debris, and a figure slowly walked out of it.

Seeing this, everyone's expression changed.

This was because Alidia, who walked out of the hole, was completely unscathed except for some dust on his body.

"What a powerful strike."

Aridia held a broadsword with one hand. The muscles on his hand bulged, and green veins popped out. However, his face was still expressionless, causing a suffocating pressure to spread from his body.

That pressure told everyone one thing.

That was, Alidia was getting serious.

"It seems that if I don't show some of my strength, I won't be able to do anything to you today."

Aridia said calmly.

"I haven't used this move for a long time. I might not be able to hold back. Be careful."

After saying that, Aridia suddenly crushed the ground under his feet and rushed towards Shien.

He was so fast that even the sound of sonic booms could be heard, bringing along gusts of wind.

However, facing this scene, Shien frowned.

"He actually chose to attack head-on?"

Was this Knight Leader looking down on him?

He clearly knew that he could teleport and had outstanding eyesight, but he still chose to attack head-on. Moreover, it was such a direct and ordinary attack. If this wasn't looking down on him, what was it?

However, just as this thought crossed Shien's mind, he somehow felt a sense of danger.

Not only did Shien's [External Destiny] allow him to have all kinds of perceptual abilities, but it also enhanced his intuition other than the five senses. Therefore, Shien trusted his own intuition very much.

Thinking about Aridia's words just now, Shien had reason to believe that there was something fishy about his opponent's move.

If that was the case …

"Then I won't take it head-on."

Shien decisively used the [External Destiny] ability to teleport and suddenly disappeared on the spot, appearing in another direction.

"Boom!"

Aridia's broadsword instantly landed on the spot where Shien was a second ago, setting off a loud explosion.

This attack was powerful, but it did not hit Shien.

However, Shien, who had teleported in another direction, did not feel any less alarmed. Instead, it suddenly increased.

"…!"

Shien's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately prepared to teleport again.

Unfortunately, it was too late to react now.

"Bang!"

A shocking force suddenly hit Shien, and it suddenly exploded. It was as if Shien had been hit by a meteorite, and his whole body was blasted away.

"This is …!?"

Shien only felt his mind go blank. After he regained his senses, he adjusted his body and landed on the ground. The soles of his feet plowed through the ground, causing gravel to fly and sand to fill the air, leaving two deep ravines on the ground.

From this, it could be seen how strong the force of that attack was.

Fortunately, Shien had the [Rida's Destiny] to protect him. The max-level [Rida's Destiny] could almost block all attacks below the Legendary Tier for Shien. If an attack above the Legendary Tier did not reach a certain level of strength, it would not be able to do anything to him, and so Shien was not injured at all.

However, just as Shien stabilized his body, Aridia had already dashed in front of him.

"Boom!"

The broadsword slashed down again, setting off a sonic boom.

Shien almost reflexively raised the holy sword, and after a series of clangs, he blocked Aridia's heavy attack, causing the ground under his feet to crack again.

However, almost at the same time, an invisible force blasted from Shien's side, just like before.

"Bang!"

Amidst the explosive sound, Shien was blasted away again, and this time, he could not stabilize his body. Just like Aridia, he crashed into the ground, smashing it into pieces.

The situation of the battle was instantly reversed.

"Mister Shien!"

"Mister Shien!"

Lumia and Merica could not help but cry out.

"Shien …!"

Even Lia could not help but lean forward, an anxious expression on her face.

On the other hand, Anci seemed relieved.

"As expected, someone who can defeat Aridia has not been born yet."

Anci seemed to be reassured by his knight's strength.

Seeing this scene, the others also suppressed the shock in their hearts.

Proctor even stared at Aridia and spoke in a low voice.

"That is Aridia Albeinn's unique skill — [Ambush]."

— [Ambush].

That was the unique skill that Aridia was famous for.

Jarvis had also heard of this unique skill.

"Being able to use one's own will to control the direction, position, and even the state of the attack, allowing one's own attack to avoid being blocked or dodged, and even overlapping the number of attacks, increasing the power of the attack to another level. This is the effect of Aridia Albeinn's unique skill [Ambush], right?"

Jarvis turned to Proctor.

Proctor nodded his head.

"This Unique Skill is very simple and crude. It doesn't have too many mysteries. When Alidia first became famous, this Unique Skill was evaluated as an insignificant skill that could only be used for small tricks. However, Alidia used it to make a name for himself."

"When he uses this unique skill, his attacks will no longer miss."

"So, this ability is also known as the Spear of Absolute Accuracy by busybodies."

"But that is not the only tricky part about it."

"Just wait and see. Alidia's true strength is about to be revealed."

Following Proctor's words, the situation in the field changed.

"Swoosh!"

All of a sudden, Shien's figure appeared behind Aridia, a sharp glint in his eyes. The holy sword in his hand was like a cold arc of light, mercilessly slashing at Aridia.

Sensing the movement behind him, Aridia's expression did not change. Without even turning his head, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed at the air in front of him.

However, this slash would not miss its target.

This was because, with the adjustment of the [Ambush] ability, the power of this slash was all blasted from the side of Shien's body, hitting Shien on the spot.

"Bang!"

An invisible force exploded beside Shien, setting off a violent gust of wind.

"Ugh …!"

Shien forcefully withstood the attack, as though he had already expected this situation. He steadied his body to prevent himself from being blasted away.

With the protection of the [Rito's Mandate], Shien could use such a violent method to resist the attack of a Legendary pinnacle powerhouse.

While withstanding the attack, Shien did not seem to care and continued to slash at the holy sword in his hand, as though he was trying to exchange damage with Aridia.

Unfortunately …

"Clang!"

When the holy sword in Shien's hand was about to slash at Aridia's body, without any warning, the holy sword seemed to have collided with an invisible weapon. In a burst of sparks, it was bounced off.

Aridia continued to slash at the area in front of him, but the direction of the slash changed out of thin air and returned to Aridia's back, bouncing off Shien's slash.

Immediately after, Aridia threw a heavy punch at the air in front of him, hitting the air with a loud bang.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Shien felt that his abdomen had been punched for no reason. Finally, his body could not avoid being blasted away like a cannonball.

However, Aridia was still waving his fists expressionlessly, continuously throwing heavy punches at the air in front of him.

"Bang bang bang bang bang …!"

In the next moment, Sean, who was flying backward, was directly bombarded by punches that appeared from all directions. He was like a bouncing bullet, flying back and forth in the air.

Aridia did not move at all, allowing all his attacks to land on Shien's body. Moreover, they came from different directions and positions, beating Shien back and forth like a sandbag. It was an extremely shocking sight.

"This …"

Harvey was stunned.

Lockett's expression became more and more solemn.

"Do you see that?" Lockett said in a deep voice, "This is Aridia's unique skill. Even if he stands still, his attacks will continuously hit his opponent. All the attacks aimed at him will not be able to touch his body. This is because he only needs to casually swing his attack, and that attack will either send his opponent flying or block his opponent's attack. There are no flaws at all."

"A spear with absolute accuracy."

"A shield with absolute defense."

"A sword with absolute killing intent."

"Alidia Albeyin's [Ambush] has all sorts of titles."

"This is the strength of the strongest human of the current generation, the kingdom's number one Knight, the strongest person below the three Goddesses and the six Great Demons."

Relying on this ability, Aridia gradually made a name for himself. In the end, after breaking through to the Legendary level, he quickly stood at the top of the human race.

Until he became the strongest human.
