Chapter 689 – Gladiator Fight – Part 2

Over thirty spirits formed a ring with Maldros and Viona as the center of the ring. Maldros gestured to the group he had formed from the knights to come forward. A group of five knights walked toward Maldros. They were wearing complete armor from top to bottom and armed with their original sword as well.

The knights were surprised that they were given their equipment. "We are ready to fight, Sir Maldros." The five knights then bowed their heads toward the Black Storm Dragonewt. It was not out of respect but out of fear. They have seen what these monsters could do to them. Especially the one that blended in the dark night above them, the dragon. They could feel that the dragon was watching them from above.

"Good. You fight, and if you win, you will be free." Maldros repeated the promise in a stern voice. "If you kill or accidentally kill her, you will face something worse than death. Is that clear?"

"Yes, Sir!" The five knights replied loudly. Maldros nodded his head and looked toward Viona. "Then I watch the fight from the sideline, Lady Viona." He bowed his head and walked to the side.

The five knights looked at each other, exchanging glances before looking at the lady in front of them. They did not understand the meaning of this fight; why would these monsters let them fight this woman, five at once at the same time. The more bizarre thing was that this woman was not that strong either. They could tell from her aura, and this woman did not have the aura that strong people.

If the monsters wanted the woman to level up by killing them, they should not be armed. There must be another purpose that they did not know, but no one cared about that. The five knights exchanged glances once more as their eyes gleamed with determination. They nodded their heads and moved up.

The five knights spread out and surrounded Viona. They were making sure that Viona could not escape from them. Then the five knights nodded and raised their shields at their chests' level before pushing toward Viona together. The plan was to corner the woman and defeat her without taking the risk of killing her.

Viona stood still as she observed the five people. Nervous? Yes, she was slightly nervous since it was five knights at once. However, she remembered what Lilliana told her not to show her weakness to Lord Tang Shaoyang. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for three seconds. She released her breath at the moment she opened her eyes, and she also made her move.

Swoosh!

Viona activated [Guardian Rush] and charged in one direction. She realized that she might be at a disadvantage once the five came closer to her. She decided to break the encirclement by taking one of them down.

Dang!

Viona's shield clashed against the knight's shield. As their shields clashed, the knight was surprised by the sudden quick movement for the woman. What he did not expect was the power behind the push. He was overwhelmed by the woman's strength and stumbled backward. The knight's eyes widened as he saw the woman raise the sword. He was about to beg for his life, but Viona did not hesitate to thrust the sword into the gap on the helmet.

There was a '—' gap on the helmet for the eyes, and the sword went straight into that gap. Blood sprayed out from the gap as the man ceased to move. Viona immediately pulled out the sword and turned around. There were four more knights she had to face.

The blood was still dripping from the sword as she readied herself for the attack. However, to her surprise, the other four knights were frozen on the spot. They did not move even an inch from where they were. 'This is my chance….' She thought of using [Shadow Step], but she changed her mind as she was aware of the other hundreds of knights watching from the side.

Viona did not want to open all the cards she had in the first. [Advanced Shadow Step] could be used to catch the enemy by surprise, and if she used it now, she would lose the element of surprise itself later. She did not change her attack and used [Guardian Rush] to one of the knights.

Her figure flashed forward at an incredible speed. The moment she arrived in front of one of the knights, the latter activated his skill as a barrier formed around the knight.

Bang!

Viona's shield crashed against the barrier, and the barrier immediately disintegrated into pieces. At the same time, the knight was pushed three steps back. He lost his balance for a few seconds, and by the time he stabilized the stance, the blade was right before his eyes. In the next second, the sword went through into the same gap as the first knight.

The other two knights immediately distanced themselves from Viona, but the third one made a different decision. "Fool! We should attack together and don't give her a chance to recover!" The knight yelled as he drew the sword out. He detoured toward Viona's back and was aiming for Viona's shoulder.

He remembered what Maldros told him; he could not kill the woman, or else the worst would come for him. 'This woman will not die from losing an arm!' Behind the helmet, the knight had a crazed grin. He thought the attack would land for sure, but those thoughts disappeared until the woman's shadow turned into a blade and cut through his body.

The knight looked down and saw himself sliced into two as his vision darkened. It was less than five minutes, yet three knights were killed. Of course, Viona could do this thanks to [Spirit Fusion]. If not for her high attributes from the integration, she could not win against the five knights with her current level.

Viona slowly pulled the sword from the knight and turned around. The two knights were standing close range to the other captured knights who formed a ring line. They were making the farthest distance from the woman, and they realized that the woman was not weak as she looked.

The two knights exchanged glances and nodded. Their only chance was to attack Viona together, and the two realized that. Then the two knights rushed together toward Viona while the latter let the knights come to her.

When the two knights were five meters away from her, Viona activated [Guardian Shield]. She raised her shield and put it forward, forming a barrier as a whole. The knight in the left had his sword on fire, and the knight in her right had four wind blades around him.

Viona let the two knights attack her barrier. The fire sword and the wind blades hit the barrier. The fire engulfed the barrier as the wind blade turned wild, assaulting the barrier endlessly. The barrier broke into pieces. The two knights were happy as they managed to break the barrier. However, they did not expect Viona to let them break the barrier.

From the blazing fire, a shadow blade shot through toward the knight on the right. The blade pierced through the knight's chest plate and hung the knight in the air. The blade hit the knight's heart. At the same time, Viona went through the fire and thrust her sword at the gap on the helmet.

The last knight died in the same fashion as the first and the second knight, having his skull and brain pierced by the sword.
