Chapter 480

The sound seemed to have disappeared.

The light was replaced by a dazzling white light.

In that instant, everyone in the Imperial Capital was completely blinded by the brilliance that came from mid-air. Other than the expanse of white, they could not see anything else.

Someone screamed.

Someone wailed.

Someone cried out in shock.

Someone panicked.

No one knew what was happening.

Even the experts who went to the noble district were panicking. Their vision was blinded by the dazzling white light. They either closed their eyes and lied down or raised their hands to block the light. They did not have the time to care about anything else.

There were probably less than five people in the Imperial City who could clearly see what was happening in this dazzling light.

Some of them were watching from the top of the temple, some were watching from Boztutt's house, some were watching from nature, and some were observing without anyone knowing.

In their eyes, they could clearly see what was happening.

Looking at the sky above the square where the fierce battle was taking place, the figure that turned into a stream of light and charged towards the falling light pillar. When the figure collided with the light pillar, the figure slashed out the holy sword in his hand, which also turned into a stream of light.

It was a slash of extreme speed.

It was a flash of light that broke through space.

It was such a stunning slash that no one could see. When it slashed at the falling light pillar like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, it actually cut it in half as if it was a fragile piece of paper.

Yes.

It was cut.

The incomparably crimson Mana Blade was cleanly cut off and turned into a storm of mana that swept across the area.

The magic storm was also surging. If it was allowed to expand, the entire noble district would be razed to the ground in an instant.

However, in the face of the terrifying mana storm, the figure that had turned into a stream of light slashed again and slashed the mana storm apart on the spot.

Then, the magic dissipated.

Then, the storm stopped.

Everything was strangled in the cradle, and not even the slightest ripple could be produced.

Perhaps, this was the reason why the sound disappeared.

At the very least, when they saw that ultimate slash, everyone who could clearly see everything in Dazzling had the same thought.

Even the sound had been cut off by that person.

It was cut off by the young noble who was destined to shake the entire Imperial City, the kingdom, and even the human world after today.

…

Gradually, the radiance began to dim.

After an unknown period of time, everyone's vision that had been snatched away finally recovered.

"What … What was that just now?"

"How would I know?"

"I think it came from the noble district?"

"The noble district again?"

"What's going on recently? Why is there such a terrifying commotion in the Imperial City? "

On the streets, the citizens discussed with fear lingering in their hearts. Obviously, they were frightened by this sudden phenomenon.

"Is … Is it over?"

"What … What happened?"

"Oh … God …"

In the noble district, the experts opened their eyes in bewilderment and looked at the square again.

There, the earth-shattering collision came to an end.

The result was unusually obvious.

"Ha … Ha … Ha … Ha … Ha … Ha … Ha … Ha … Ha …

Aridia seemed to have exhausted all of his Mana. He knelt on one knee on the ground, and the greatsword that he had raised high was hanging down. The dark red Mana flowing on it had already disappeared, and he was panting heavily.

However, Alidia didn't lower his eyelids. Instead, he stared ahead with trembling eyes.

In front of Alidia, a figure had unknowingly appeared there.

He lifted the sealed holy sword in his hand and pointed it at Alidia's throat.

"As expected of you, guild leader."

A familiar voice was heard.

"The power of that sword attack just now is pretty good. No wonder it's called the Absolute Killing Sword. It even has the confidence that it can split the sea. I originally thought that it was just an exaggeration, but now it seems that it's not impossible."

As he said this, Shien chuckled.

"What a pity, I'll take it."

These words caused the surroundings to return to silence once more.

Moreover, this silence was more oppressive and heavy than any of the previous times.

Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief. They looked at Alidia, who was kneeling on one knee before Shien, with Shien pointing a sword at his throat.

There was no one who didn't know what this meant.

It was actually very simple.

Aridia had lost.

That was all.

"This is impossible …"

It was unknown who had muttered this sentence.

However, this sentence was what almost everyone present was thinking.

There was nothing that could be done.

This was because no one would be willing to believe that Alidia would lose.

If the person who defeated Alidia was a Legendary-tier powerhouse from the Demons, or an existence like the God of War from the Protoss, they could still accept it.

Even if the person who defeated Alidia was a famous master of the human race, or a foreign Legendary-tier knight like Lockett, the people present wouldn't find it hard to accept.

However, the fact was that the person who defeated Alidia was neither a Legendary-tier powerhouse from any race, nor was he a world-famous powerhouse. Instead, he was a young noble who was only 20 years old and had just entered the public eye for less than half a year.

How could they accept such a fact so easily in a short period of time?

Even Anxi had a complicated expression on his face. Lia, who was being carried by Shana, also stood there in a daze and didn't react for a long time.

"That kid …"

"He actually defeated Alidia?"

"…"

Jacinta, Lockett, Yule, Jarvis, and the others were equally shocked. They simply didn't know how to describe their current feelings.

Alidia was silent as well.

Looking at Shien who was completely unscathed, not even blushing or panting, standing before him with a smile and pointing a sword at his throat, Alidia could only remain silent for a long time.

Shien, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry. He just looked at Alidia with a faint smile.

It was only after a long time that a hoarse voice came out of Alidia's mouth.

"What did you actually comprehend in the Inner Sanctum?"

Alidia barely squeezed out such a sentence.

It was obvious that Alidia himself didn't expect to lose in the end.

He didn't know how Shien obtained such a level of strength.

Did he really comprehend it in the Inner Sanctum?

If that was the case …

"Have you already broken through to that realm?"

Alidia asked in a low voice.

Shien raised an eyebrow.

Shien could still understand the meaning behind Alidia's words.

The so-called realm that he was referring to was probably the great transcendence that surpassed the limit level 100. It was the realm that the three goddesses and six demonic dwellers were at.

Shien's performance actually made him suspect that Shien had used the comprehension in the Inner Sanctum to break through to the transcendence level that the three goddesses and six demonic dwellers were at.

Regarding this, Shien could only answer as such.

"I didn't." Shien said straightforwardly, "Let's not talk about actual strength for now. If we only talk about the realm, I'm still far from that level."

After all, Shien was currently only at level 77. There was still a long way to go before he could reach the level 90 Legendary level, let alone the limit level 100 and the transcendence level that surpassed the limits of life.

"If I want to reach that realm, I also need to work hard."

Shien said such words for now.

"… I understand."

Alidia didn't know if he believed it or not. After a moment of silence, he nodded expressionlessly.

Then …

"I admit that I have lost."

Alidia's declaration reverberated in the entire square, into everyone's ears and hearts.

At this moment, even those who were unwilling to believe it had to admit one thing.

Alidia had indeed lost.

And this also meant that from today onwards, the title of the number one human would change.

The young man who stood unscathed in front of Alidia who was kneeling on one knee was now the true number one human.

With such conviction and such news, many powerhouses quietly retreated in shock and silence.

"This is the fortune of the human race."

After Yule accepted everything, he left with the group of clergymen in a gratified manner.

"Alidia …"

Lockett stared at Alidia with a complicated gaze. Then, he left with Harvey, who seemed to be rejoicing about something.

"Master …"

"Master …"

Jess and Liz came to Jacinta with a hesitant look on their faces.

"… I think I understand a little." Jacinta sorted out his emotions, and finally took a long look at Shien, muttering to himself, "I understand why Master values this human so much."

With that, Jacinta left with the twin Demons.

One after another, the champions left, leaving only Anci and Lia, who brought Shana to Alidia's side.

Shana helped Alidia up, while her gaze fell on Shien.

Lia's expression was complicated.

Anci patted Alidia's shoulder, and then looked at Shien. He wanted to say something, but did not know what to say. In the end, he simply smiled bitterly and kept his mouth shut.

The royal family left as well.

Shien shrugged, and similarly did not say anything.

But in the end, he heard such words.

"My daughter is in your hands …"

Only after leaving behind such words did the other party and the rest of the royal family leave together.

Only Shien was left. He turned in surprise to look at the other party's somewhat desolate back, and could not say anything.

Not long after, the main door of Boztutt's house was opened.

With Vivian in the lead, the girls finally rushed out and surrounded Shien.

In the sky, You Lin roared excitedly.

Meanwhile, on a building a little further away, Rosie watched this scene silently. After a long time, she let out a faint sigh.

"He has become stronger than me."

Rosie said with a tinge of emotion.

It was a rare thing.

In any case, Her Royal Highness had never thought that one day, she would actually be surpassed by a person of the same age.

Surpassing others and reaching a realm that others could not imagine had always been her specialty.

Today, she had experienced what it felt like to be surpassed.

"Looks like I can't wait any longer."

In Rosie's heart, unwillingness and unwillingness to admit defeat that she did not have in the past was born.

Her pair of eyes that were as red as wine turned into a dazzling gold in a short instant.
