Free Web NovelChapter 75: They Called Him Talentless, Thirty Against One
When Luke and others reached the arena, the female golden knight gestured for them to come inside, on which all of them nodded and stepped through the shield, entered.
Luke got curious seeing this scene, as this shield allowed entry but not exit. After a moment, finding everyone was already inside, he also stepped in.
The surrounding specter watched the nobles with excited expressions, who were going to fight. Because most of the time, they were just living their lives by working, but when something special occurs, they also get the chance to participate, though with limits.
But still only a few times have they seen fighting-type events, and even rarer is a fighting spar between nobles.
Among the crowd, the Blackstone Legion was seated on the bottom side with Margaret in between them, while Kai, the owl summoner, was situated at the front of the group. Their gaze was on their master, who just stepped inside the arena.
"This time, my lord is going to win for sure!" From the crowd, a young knight whose realm was Iron Knight said excitedly when he found his lord was inside the ring. Many knights also got excited and praised their lord as well, while keeping saying, "No, it’s our lord who is going to win!"
Kai and others heard their bicker but didn’t comment on it, because if they found out that their master had killed the early silver knight with his early Iron Knight realm, then what would happen with their weak hearts? So they just sneer among themselves.
Margaret and Kai didn’t react to their companions behavior; they just kept looking at their lord, already knowing the answer of who was going to win.
"What do you think? Who is going to be in the next round?" Princess Lysandra leaned slightly toward the right-side chair and asked Therion with a cheerful smile.
Therion, who seemed to be lost in thought but was actually looking toward the huge gate with the same expression as he had before. ’When this is over, I have to go training or fight.’ didn’t heard Lysandra words or he did, but choose to ignore it.
Lysandra’s eyes twitched at his behavior, then she shook her head and turned to the left side; there was sitting a blue-haired boy, or a blue-haired sea prince.
"So, what do you think, Sea Prince?" She asked him this time again with the same cheerful smile.
Oryn, who was lost in thought as his one hand was in his pocket, which was holding a runestone, suddenly got startled by the voice.
"Ahh, yes, Lady Lysandra, I don’t know." He answered hastily, with a relieved expression, that she didn’t saw the runestone, but his voice did get a little shutter in some places, which piqued Lysandra’s curiosity, and she looked at him with narrowed eyes.
Oryn got little sweat formed on his forehead after feeling her curious glares, but he kept his cool and didn’t react.
Finally seeing he was not reacting to her, she sighed with a bored face and returned back to her position as she leaned on her seat with a lazy expression while muttering. "Why am I stuck with these two boring guys?"
Nyra was happy, seeing Luke also got in the arena, but then Naivara’s voice comes from the side chair, "He is already married, so don’t let your illusion run wild, Nyra." At this, Nyra’s eyes twitch, and then she turns to Naivara and says, "Naira, don’t be so jealous; it’s not like I am stealing your husband." Naira on this also turned toward her, and gave a glare, which is asking, ’What do you mean?’
On this Nyra just smiled and shifted back her attention toward the arena. Naira got a little irritated seeing Nyra didn’t answer her, so with a sigh she also turned her attention back to the arena.
In the arena, most of the iron knights got close to Luke as they were preparing to eliminate this wild card first. While some peak iron knights were still not afraid of him and one of them was Baron Cedric.
Luke shook his head with amused smile after seeing their reactions and thought ’sometimes ago they were saying, I am an talentless and not worthy of princess and here they are now, being afraid of same talentless hero.’ after that he activated his titan form, while waiting for the golden knight to start the fight.
The closest iron knights were already wary of Luke, so the moment Luke’s body suddenly grows into a 12-foot-tall giant with dark blue hair and azure blue eyes, they instantly back away, afraid to get eliminate by him at the start.
But then reality hit them; the match had not started yet, so Luke also couldn’t attack them, and their faces got a little red because they got afraid just after seeing his transformation.
"Wow!!!" When Luke transformed into titan form, all the specters got crazy, because for the first time, they had seen someone turn into a giant.
Seeing people’s excited expressions, Luke didn’t react much and summoned Velzareth as well.
Soon, the crowd, which had gotten calmed down somewhat, again became shocked when they saw a giant black armor with blue runes shining on it and a blue cape fluttering behind it appear just beside Giant Luke and attached to its body.
While the crowd became excited from the appearance of knight armor, the nobles reaction was competely different from theirs.
’What’s this?’ All of them thought with a confused expression because they had seen knight armor, but most of them summoned and called it from the spatial rings, not like this, directly hovering in the void and attached to the whole body.
’We have to be more careful.’ This thought comes into their mind, and they get more wary of Luke, so some peak Iron Knights, who were confident in their strength, also come forward and surround Luke.
The golden knight watched all of this and saw everyone is already prepared; So she waved her hand and shouted. "Begin!" fгeewebnovёl.com
So the moment those words escaped her mouth, all the iron knights suddenly attacked Luke’s place. CLANG! CLINK! CLANG! BAM!
The sound of the sword and different weopans colliding with the ground echoed, ’Wait... collided with the ground?’ This thought comes into their mind before a punch lands on their back and they become unconscious.
"Wow, amazing!" The specter saw fully what happened because the moment ’begin!’ words left the golden knight’s mouth, Luke disappeared from his place, and all the attacks hit the empty area. Then, the next moment, he appeared behind an early iron knight and knocked him out with one punch.
He kept disappearing and reappearing behind one iron knight and another, and soon half of them were already eliminated within under 30 seconds, which was insane.
The remaining knights hurriedly moved and gather around while surrounding the giant armored Luke, who is now in the center of the arena.
"Did you see what’s happened?" One knight asked warily to the other knight, to which he shook his head with fearful expression but said with trembling voice, "Maybe he has the ability to teleport."
"What!!!" When they heard his words, they also felt he was right and got shocked, because movement abilities are very effective and teleportation is even better, but they are also very rare.
Luke didn’t care for reaction and again used void step to appeared behind another knight, then the knight also went down with a punch. He keeps doing this until only one iron knight remains. Baron Cedric.
Baron Cedric, who was confident about his strength earlier, now felt, ’Why is he competing with this monster?’ Because even after seeing his teleportation, everyone was unable to do anything to him, as Luke instantly just appeared behind or beside or on any sides, which really makes it hard for them to fight against him.
The female golden knight saw all of this but didn’t announce the result, as they have to fight and survive among them for 30 minutes, but when she saw it, Luke was defeating them like a child. She decided that it’s better to let these men lost, if they are so weak.
"Thud." Baron Cedric also got dropped to the ground as Luke’s heavy, giant punch hit his face, which also broke his nose.
"Luke Voidheart is the final winner of Iron Knights!" The female golden knights announced the result with a loud voice; on this, the whole crowd erupted with cheers, while the nobles seated inside the VIP area grew quiet. Because the same person who they thought was talentless, now defeated large numbers of opponents, even while being under the lowest realm.
Aurielle also watched all of this and shook her head with a helpless smile. ’Ahh...I should have expected this, because he likes to show-off.’
"Sis, did you see? He defeated all of them instantly." Nyra shook Octavia’s shoulder while shouting excitedly. Vivienne from the side watched, her daughter’s reaction with a helpless expression because it seems she might have fallen for this hero, who is already married to five princesses.
Naira was also happy for Luke’s victory, but when she heard Nyra’s excited shout from the side, her face fell, and she gave her a look while saying it. "Nyra, control your emotions; if someone saw you shouting so happily for a married man, they would think wrong about you."
Nyra, who was happily sharing her happiness with her sis, heard Naira’s jealous voice and got stunned. Then she calmed down and just observed the arena, like all the previous reaction was an lie.
Count looked at Luke’s victory without change of emotion, while Elias was also the same because he had already seen Luke punching Rowan, a peak Bronze knight, so he was not much surprised, but he still got curious about Luke’s giant form.
Oryn gritted his teeth, as he didn’t like this at all, but then he felt the runestone in his pocket heat up a little.
’It’s time already?’ A large smile appeared on his lips on this, because now this waste hero will be going to finish for sure. And the next moment he crushed the runestone inside his pocket.
