The killing intent instantly woke up many of the contestants from the illusion, and they fell to the ground like corpses.
Faced with this terrifying killing intent, the trio in the castle gritted their teeth and crawled forward in the hall.
Doctor Görs was sure that even in the face of such difficulties, the captain should be able to easily pass through … But what about Nan Xiaonan? How could she easily resist such a terrifying killing intent?
Damn it … If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have failed to pick up more things from the temporary captain when he went to the Elven Homeland.
In the past, Doctor Görs felt that it wasn't right for him to pick up too many things, but now he only hated himself for being too slow!
… …
On the top floor of the first building in the second stage, an old man with long white hair was sitting cross-legged on a high platform.
Below, the killing intent that shrouded the group of contestants was released by this old man … This old man was one of the two Sanctuary Masters in charge of guarding Princess Carol's palace — the one who had been directly slapped into the ground by the Dragon Empress.
Of course, while being slapped into the ground seemed to be a big deal, it was actually just a flesh wound … It was the heart that was hurt.
"Looks like you're planning to vent all your dissatisfaction on these young fellows."
Not long after, the other Sanctuary Master slowly walked over.
At King Amos' request, and perhaps also because of the deterrence of Queen Hilda, these two Sanctuary Masters left their original positions today, which was rare for them, and were now in charge of eliminating the contestants who didn't pass the second stage.
"It shouldn't be time to change shifts yet, right?"
"I'm just here to see you. After all, that hit from Queen Hilda was quite heavy … Alright, I just wanted to ask, did you find any good seedlings?"
"They're all just average, and they couldn't even withstand half of my killing intent. If this continues, I even suspect that none of the contestants will be able to pass this stage."
"But before I came in, I saw quite a few young fellows who had already passed all the tests in the second stage."
"I'm not a martial artist like Li Youlo! Releasing killing intent wasn't something that could be done accurately from the start! Those guys who passed before, I only released a little bit of my killing intent. I was afraid that if I released too much at once, it would directly shock them to death. They were lucky. "
"Alright, after this batch is done, it's my turn to take over … This is actually the most difficult part of the second stage of the test. The ones after that are relatively easier."
At this moment, the Sanctuary Master in charge of releasing the killing intent suddenly exclaimed softly.
"What happened?"
"There's a guy who can easily take on less than half of my killing intent … Heh, this is finally getting interesting … Wait, this guy is also releasing his killing intent … He's killing people!"
…
In the hall of the second stage, a figure was casually wandering among the contestants who had fallen into chaos due to the illusions.
With a cruel smile on his face, he killed those contestants who didn't know what was going on … That bone sword easily pierced the hearts of the contestants … silently.
"Stop!"
At this moment, a deep voice sounded in front of the Bloodthirsty Addict — it was the voice of the Sanctuary Master who had come to take over.
"What are you doing?!"
"My lord, what do you think I'm doing?"
"Bastard, you dare to kill people indiscriminately under the eyes of a Sanctuary?!"
Holding a bone sword, but his face was quite ordinary, looking like he was in his twenties or thirties … He was quite calm in the face of the Sanctuary Master's anger. "My lord, I remember that the rules of the tournament have always allowed killing … But there's no rule saying that I'm not allowed to attack other contestants in the second stage, is there? These guys are all going to be my opponents, so it's beneficial for me to get rid of some of them first … What's wrong with that? "
"They're trapped in an illusion, as if they're defenseless, and yet you're killing them. You're not a hero!"
"It doesn't matter, hero or murderer." The person holding the bone sword chuckled. "I'm just reasonably protecting my own interests under the rules of this tournament … My lord, if you don't like it, you can ask His Majesty to change the rules of this tournament."
"No need, I'll disqualify you from the tournament right now!" The Sanctuary Master snorted coldly. "And arrest you for indiscriminate killing … You're just a puny contestant, this old man still has the power to control you!"
"In other words, my lord, you intend to abuse your authority?" The person holding the bone sword laughed coldly. "Does that mean I can protect myself?"
The Sanctuary Master snorted coldly, and was about to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson — but in that instant, the arrogant fellow before him suddenly disappeared.
Just as the Sanctum Master was about to explain, he felt a chill on his neck.
"My lord, if I kill you here … I wonder if I'll be violating the rules of the tournament?"
"You …"
The Sanctuary Master's eyes widened.
"So you're just a good-for-nothing with enough power but no Heart of the Sanctuary … Forget it, I won't kill you to save myself the trouble." The person holding the bone sword gave him a gentle push.
The Sanctuary Master actually fell to the ground in an instant, powerless … Inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just kidding."
A cold light flashed, and the bone sword easily pierced through the Sanctuary Master's chest — it was only when the bone sword pierced through his body that the Sanctuary Master suddenly realized — his powerful magic had all fallen silent the moment he met the person holding the bone sword!
Without that powerful mana, even a Sanctuary Master would only be a slightly stronger person …
"The Serpent That Devours All Spells … One of the three godly weapons left in the world, to be able to die under it, it's not a disgrace to your so-called Sanctuary Master, is it?"
The Sanctuary Master could no longer hear what was said after that.
After that, the person holding the bone sword suddenly jumped up and climbed all the way to the highest point of the building … to the platform.
The white-haired Sanctuary Master who was still releasing his killing intent was slightly startled. "Who are you?"
"My lord, I'm here to take over … Please go down."
A cold light pierced towards him.
"Take over … you? How dare you? " The white-haired Sanctuary Master snorted coldly, and the terrifying magic on his body instantly vibrated … causing the huge building to tremble in an instant.
However, in just an instant, the powerful magic suddenly fell silent … In the midst of his shock, the bone sword had already pierced through the white-haired Sanctuary Master's chest.
After that, the person holding the bone sword kicked the corpse of the white-haired Sanctuary Master to one side and sat down, chuckling. "Now, it's up to me to decide who should be allowed to pass … The current pace is not bad."
… …
… …
A creature that resembled a dolphin was swimming in a huge pool — the pool in the garden of the Princess' Palace.
At the same time, Her Highness was also in the pool, having fun teasing these strange creatures.
At the edge of the pool, the Dragon Empress Hilda was smiling as she watched Her Highness play with the water … It was just that the entire pool was now suffused with a thin layer of blood red.
At that moment, the corpse of a sea monster that had been torn apart slowly floated to Queen Hilda's side … Before it even got close, the corpse of the sea monster was directly annihilated by the Empress' power.
"Your Majesty, King Amos is here."
Laura, the head maid, slowly walked over. She was leading King Amos here. His Majesty should have just finished his speech at the opening of the National Tournament and immediately returned to the palace. Calculating the time, he did not even stop on the way.
"Yamos, huh? Just in time." Queen Hilda did not look back. She looked at Princess Carol who was playing in the pool and said in a doting tone, "Come and see Carol, such a lively child."
"Indeed," King Amos smiled and said, "I haven't seen Carol this happy in a long time."
"He really does look like a monster …" Queen Hilda stared at the Yamos King and said expressionlessly, "That's what you think, isn't it?"
The Yamos King said indifferently, "I gave Carol everything I could, just so that she could live a happy life … How could my child be a monster?"
"Why is he here? Mother! I don't want to see this guy! Mother —! " In the pool, Princess Carol suddenly exerted force with both hands and tore apart the dolphin-like water monster that was hugging her. She shouted angrily, "Get lost —!"
"Carol, be quiet." The Dragon Queen looked at Princess Carol with a cold glint in her eyes.
Her Royal Highness instantly shuddered and shut her mouth tightly.
Queen Hilda then looked at King Amos and said, "It seems that even if you give her everything you can, you can't gain Carol's favor … Yamos, I've kept Carol in your palace, but she has never changed her attitude toward you. I'm really disappointed about this."
"As long as half of the royal blood of Elnis remains in her body, I won't let her return to the Dragon Clan on the continent." "No one can take my child away from me," the Yamos King said unyieldingly, "No one can take my child from me."
"Yamos, do you know who you're talking to?"
"I know." King Amos said slowly, "As I said, I'll give her everything I can … even if it's you, Hilda."
"The last bit of dignity as a father?" Queen Hilda suddenly smiled faintly and caressed King Amos's face. "This is one of the few things I like about you … Don't let me down in the future."
With that, Queen Hilda waved at Princess Carol and said, "Carol, stop playing … Let me think, you haven't had dinner with your father for a long time. Tonight is a rare opportunity. Let's have dinner together."
She knew that she couldn't disobey the Dragon Queen's order … even if she was her daughter. Princess Carol walked out of the pool unwillingly, but her eyes were fixed on King Amos.
Suddenly, Princess Carol said, "Mother, I want to watch the national competition."
The Dragon Queen smiled and said, "Today is the first day, and we're still in the elimination stage. There's nothing to see. Let's wait until the finals. Don't worry, since they're young talents from all over the world, they'll probably meet your requirements. "
"I can't wait!" Princess Carol sat down on the ground. "It's too slow! I don't want to wait anymore! "
"Even if you say so, there are still too many people participating in the competition." Queen Hilda shook her head. "But it'll only be a few days at most. I'll be with you during these days."
"I don't care! I don't care! I want it now! I don't care —! "
"I really don't know what to do with you, child." Queen Hilda shook her head and looked coldly at King Amos. "Alright, Yamos, think of a way to coax this child."
"The competition's schedule has been set, and it's already started." King Amos thought for a moment and said, "But if Carol feels bored, I can order some of the seeded contestants to fight first."
"Carol?" Queen Hilda looked at Princess Carol, as if asking for her opinion.
"I want to see the birth of the real champion!" Princess Carol didn't give up and even rolled on the ground, throwing a tantrum. A maid who was waiting for orders even had her head smashed and fell into the pool because of Princess Carol's beating.
"It doesn't seem like a good idea. This child won't stop." Queen Hilda shook her head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay … I know what to do."
King Amos looked at Queen Hilda subconsciously.
The Empress of the Dragon Clan opened her palm … and a pearl appeared in her palm. Then, the pearl began to rush into the sky and burst out with a brilliant light!
Even though it was broad daylight, the pearl's light was very clear. In the next moment, the pearl shot toward the venue of the competition.
The Dragon Queen's voice began to resound throughout the entire capital city … Especially in the competition venue, it was even louder.
"In the name of the Dragon Queen of the continent, Hilda, I give the following orders. From now on, the rules of the national competition will be changed. All selection battles will be canceled, and it will be a competition for all contestants. Before dawn, no matter who it is, as long as they can come to me with the pearl, they will be the champion of the competition. I will give the winner a chance to be baptized in the Dragon Clan's holy pond."
The Dragon Queen's voice still echoed in the streets of the capital. Everyone was silent.
At this moment, in the palace.
After giving the order, Queen Hilda looked at Princess Carol with a smile. "How is it, little darling? You will soon see the birth of the champion."
"Great! This is fun! "Princess Carol's eyes blazed." Finally, I don't have to be so bored! "
"Hilda, are you planning to turn the entire capital into a battlefield?" King Amos suddenly asked.
"What, didn't you say you would give everything you could? You can't bear to?" Queen Hilda asked with a cold smile.
King Amos said indifferently, "I just want to know if you can start preparing for tonight's dinner."
