The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



The steel-armored fighter thrust its black sword toward Zelter's chest.

At that moment, Zelter shouted, "Die!"

Flames danced around him, and he looked like the king of flames at that moment. The fire seeped into Zelter's sword as he let out that shout. The sword ignited as the flames went in, and the vague shape of a phoenix could be seen rising from the flames.

After a moment, the fighter's sword clashed with Zelter's, and the flames intensified the moment the two swords struck each other.

All of a sudden, the fire started to swallow the other sword. The flames were like rapidly growing vines. The black sword was enveloped by the flames, and an explosive force filled up the black sword.

Right after that, the sound of something cracking could be heard, and everyone was surprised to notice that the black sword started to shatter just moments after it had been enveloped by the flames.

Zelter took a step back, pulling away from the armored fighter.

The-armored fighter lacked any intelligence and was not particularly deft. Even with its sword enveloped by the flames and already cracking, it moved forward and attacked based on its programming, terrifyingly fast. Even though Zelter had pulled back immediately, the fighter quickly caught up and thrust its sword forward again.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

This time, Zelter was in no hurry at all. When the sword was about to hit his chest, he sliced right down on the sword. With a crack, the sword immediately broke.

He had been using the Phoenix Cry technique for at least two years and successfully got it to the first stage of mastery. The Phoenix Cry technique did not produce just normal flames, and the black sword was not able to withstand it at all.

The armored fighter was momentarily stunned as it looked at its shattered weapon.

Taking that chance, Zelter pierced out his sword again. It stabbed the fighter right in the chest, piercing through its armor and body. The armored fighter's whole body stiffened, and it stopped moving.

Zelter raised an eyebrow as he watched the wound' of the fighter lighting up, entirely unsurprised. The light got brighter and brother, and it completely covered the armored fighter's body. Right after that, there was a brief suction, and the light was sucked into the array at the center of the room, causing the

armored fighter to disappear as well.

Only the crystal within the room was still lit up.

Zelter did not show much happiness at all, and his expression soured instead. No one else knew what he was thinking. The spectators started to talk about everything they saw.

"Zelter is quite good. He dealt with the steel-armored fighter so quickly! I thought he'd need at least a few more attacks, but he dealt with it pretty much instantly. It looks like he'll be able to win!"

"That's right! It's fifteen pieces of purple gold! With so much purple gold, he can buy anything he wants, He'll definitely get stronger not too long after this. He might even get the chance to go to a

level-one city."

The discussions were everywhere, and almost everyone had some envy in their voice. Meanwhile, a few tried to be disparaging.

"Don't praise him so much; it's just the seventh room! There are still six rooms ahead of him, and that might've been his strongest attack!" However, those words were not really said that seriously. The praise for Zelter took up the majority of everything that was said. There were indeed no weaklings among the three challengers.
