Chapter 478: Volta
Everyone present knew that Shien was strong.
Could someone weak have single-handedly subjugated the Slayer Faction?
Could someone weak have wiped out nearly half of the Kingdom Knights alone?
Could someone weak have tamed Artur's Black Dragon?
Could someone weak have made the Ryusica Family hit an iron wall and flattened the entire noble district?
Even Harvis, the imperial prince and legitimate Hero Descendant, had lost to Shien. That had long since proven Shien's strength.
Yet even so, no one could have imagined that Shien could stand against Aridia.
He was humanity's strongest, the kingdom's foremost knight.
As the Knight Commander of the Royal Knights, hailed as the strongest below the Transcendent Class, he was the very symbol of invincibility within the kingdom.
Even Legendary-tier experts from every race and realm had to be wary of an Aridia like this. Who could have imagined that he would lose to such a young nobleman who had begun as an adventurer?
No one would have imagined it!
Therefore, when Aridia was sent flying by Shien's sword, slammed into the ground, and buried beneath shattered stones and rubble until he vanished completely from sight, everyone, including Anxi, Ria, and Shana, was utterly shocked.
Even Legendary-tier experts like Jacinta, Rocket, and Yule turned grave, looking at Shien very differently from before.
Because they knew that this was someone who could threaten them.
Even though he was absurdly young, barely past twenty and not even close to thirty, and no one wanted to believe that someone so young could threaten them, the facts spoke louder than words.
"How did he suddenly become so strong?"
Harvis was deeply shaken as well.
Harvis had fought Shien before and knew how strong he was, but Shien's strength back then had not shocked him quite so
