Black Rose

The final match - a gladiatorial contest.

Valen Nicholas vs. Diana Epsilon.

Scene: [Giant Stone Ruins]

Due to special circumstances, Han Dong has already made his appearance.

The opponent in the first game of the finals was the same Underground Students, in the semi-finals, feigned weakness to put himself at a disadvantage, and then defeated the Beast Knight in one move...

What is certain is that this girl is definitely related to the Black Rose Knights.

"The Black Rose Knights, Commander Roland... the leader of the Night Watcher."

Commander Roland must know that I completed a hidden mission during the early training camp and obtained the "Night Watcher Medal" ahead of schedule.

They specifically sent two Underground Students to cause me trouble during the preliminary rounds.

There may be two purposes.

First, they assessed in advance whether I met the basic qualities of a ' Night Watcher '.

Secondly, to gather intelligence about me in advance so that Diana could prepare to deal with me.

The arena has changed.

An area similar to Stonehenge and ancient Mayan ruins.

Various terraced buildings and megaliths up to ten meters high stand here.

Neutral scenario:

Stonehenge completely seals off flight capabilities, while simultaneously increasing affinity for Earth Magic.

The megaliths and ruins are highly sturdy, and you can use the surrounding environment to avoid attacks.

No-fly zone.

This one point alone put Han Dong in a very disadvantageous situation.

At present, First Year of graduates are still unable to fly freely... [Flying] itself is a huge advantage.

With the ability to fly, Han Dong can gain more opportunities to cast spells in the sky.

"This is really troublesome... The Black Rose Knights specialize in assassination, so getting close to them is extremely dangerous."

There is virtually no information about this girl.

Try to probe the area as much as possible in the early stages.

Staring at the Underground Students hidden in the cloaks, Han Dong could clearly feel an unusual sense of danger.

Referee Alonso instructed, "Remember, once I declare the match over, no further Attack Behavior are allowed... The match begins."

Han Dong's first choice was to create distance.

Just as Han Dong retreated, Diana disappeared from everyone's sight... completely different from her deliberate show of weakness and slowing down the pace in the semi-finals.

The finals have begun.

This Underground Students chose to launch a full-scale attack, determined not to allow Han Dong, whose main class was magic-based, to gain a 'safe casting range'.

"So fast?!"

Swoosh~

In the blink of an eye, Diana was now on the same line as Han Dong.

Immediately apply the defensive spell - [Sand Barrier].

Dense yellow sand quickly formed a thick wall between the two, its surface marked with the defensive imprint of "scarabs".

However...

Diana, however, remained firmly focused on her target.

There was absolutely no stagnation caused by the obstruction of the yellow sand.

There are no assassination weapons.

Instead, a delicate arm emerged from within the cloak.

A ring inlaid with a blue crystal - "The Demon Breaking Seal (Blue Fine)" - is worn on the middle finger. It is an offensive item specifically designed to counter magic, allowing Diana to break through the spellcaster's defenses.

Boxing!

When Diana threw a punch, a series of cracking sounds could be clearly heard from her joints.

Snap!

The yellow sand collapsed.

A punch landed squarely on Han Dong's right shoulder...

An indescribable pain shot through Han Dong's brain, his face turned red, and his veins bulged.

The thickened flesh and reinforced bones on the G-wall were shattered layer by layer, even the ribs of the torso were broken, and the internal organs were subjected to penetrating damage...

The penetrating power of a punch is even more terrifying than that of a spear.

reluctantly.

Using the impact of that punch, Han Dong quickly retreated, trying to create distance.

but...

However, Diana was faster than Han Dong was knocked away, and the two were once again in the same straight line... Her fist locked onto Han Dong's skull.

Dangerous period.

Hehe~~

Several crows flew out of Han Dong's body.

Diana's expression changed drastically, and she decisively abandoned her attack...

And so, the distance between the two widened.

Dozens of crows balanced the impact on Han Dong by pulling him along, and landed steadily on the top of a certain ruin.

The crow, carrying the shattered flesh and blood, rebuilt its master's right arm.

Han Dong then sat down.

A seat made of yellow sand formed beneath him.

"As expected, they made thorough preparations to deal with me from the very beginning... They even brought this kind of anti-magic equipment."

The Disguise Removal of "Undead Priest's Arm" has been removed.

The mummified arm, wrapped in mummy bandages, is revealed, and the "Crow Caller" is summoned.

Commander Hugo in the audience, stared at Han Dong's arm and whispered:

"Wow... what an ancient arm worth studying."

Despair!

Han Dong touched the ground with his staff.

The terraced buildings beneath it immediately began to turn into sand... Black Petrification.

In a short time, the building was Transform Into a small Black Pyramid.

Caw caw caw~~ At the same time, more than five hundred crows made of black sand circled around the pyramid.

The entire Death Domain has been laid out.

Centered on the pyramid, the surrounding stone areas are gradually turning into sand... As the competition continues, the Raw Stone Arena will all turn into a black desert.

In this scene, Han Dong resembled a Pharaoh.

A slight smile played on his lips as he stared at Diana at the foot of the pyramids...

"What terrifying methods of killing enemies. This girl must specialize in her own bones, using her own skeleton as an assassination weapon. She's truly an anomaly... Let's take her seriously."

Faced with such a scenario.

There was not a trace of fear in Diana's eyes.

After making slight adjustments.

It seemed as if a defensive barrier had been constructed beneath the cloak, and as he stepped onto the pyramid's steps, he approached Han Dong sat at the very top.

Gaa gaa gaa~~

Hundreds of crows, constructed from the Death Black Sand, decisively gathered together, swooped down, and killed any intruders who dared to approach the 'Pharaoh'.

"Bone Piercing"

Super- Rapid Punch.

Diana's punches were faster than anyone could have imagined.

It continuously shatters the flock of crows attacking from the front... Due to the magic-breaking effect, a single punch can completely shatter the crows and allow the black sand to take effect on the body.

However, there were simply too many crows.

There will always be one or two that slip through the net.

When the crow struck the cloak, it shattered into black sand...

Diana was also quite wary of such deathly power, and decisively removed her sand-corroding cloak... revealing her true face to the public for the first time.

Pure black hair that was slightly messy.

An extremely rare sight in the Holy City: an Asian face.

Her cherry-like lips and slightly upturned nose, combined with her small oval face and figure, made her look like a girl who had just started high school.

Unlike ordinary people.

Diana had black and white eyes...

His entire body was wrapped in numerous medicinal bandages, emitting a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Click click click...

The sound of bones breaking through could be heard again.

Using himself as a weapon, his bones were pierced through, and he aimed directly at Han Dong.

[Talent Tree - Ten Thousand Bones]

One punch shattered half of Han Dong's head... while the remaining lower half of his head maintained a mysterious smile.
