Chapter 564: Chapter 564: The Wounded Girl
“Fake… how can it be? Why does it have the same aura?”
Diana, the young girl, showed a surprised look for the first time.
Having been trained in the Black Rose Knight Squad, she no longer relied on vision to judge her opponents.
She used ‘Aura’ to identify them.
Every object, whether inanimate or alive, has a corresponding ‘Aura’… As long as one sea’s finds the aura, it can eliminate the basic sense of illusion, clones, and other deceptive effects.
Staring at the duplicate whose head has been shattered by a punch, slowly turning into black sand.
Diana looked puzzled, after all, the ‘Aura’ did belong to Han Dong.
As the duplicate disintegrated… but the intact mummy’s left arm did not turn into sand, it was the real arm of Han Dong.
Han Dong deliberately left some parts of his original body to create a duplicate with the same aura.
The arm quickly retracted into the black sand and returned to Han Dong’s original body.
after all, Han Dong and Jane were quite familiar with each other. In previous sparring sessions, Han Dong knew very well that assassins of this type usually identified their targets by ‘Aura’.
“Damn it!!”
The black pyramid was a huge trap created by Han Dong from the very beginning, luring Diana into it.
In an instant.
The black sand instantly enveloped Diana and dragged her into the pyramid turned quicksand.
Sunk and completely buried.
And Han Dong himself separated from the bottom of the pyramid, simultaneously signalling to the referee Alonso outside the court… such a deadly burying is not something ordinary people can withstand.
“The winner – Valen. Nicholas.”
As the result was announced.
Han Dong quickly peeled off the death attribute from the sand particles, and the black sand turned to the normal yellow colour.
Diana was buried in the deepest part of the Yellow Sand Chamber, the wall composed of scarab beetles.
Boom!
With a punch, she broke the secret chamber.
Diana, full of resentment, leapt out of the yellow sand.
Her medicinal bandages, which wrapped around her body, had been largely detached due to the erosion of the Death Black Sand.
Revealing her skinny body full of bruises… Diana seemed to have been severely injured before the competition.
Moreover, for some special reasons.
The girl wore a cloak as clothing.
Given that her body needed to be in contact with the medicinal bandages, she did not wear any other clothing.
The cloak had turned completely into sand.
The medicinal bandages wrapped around the girl’s body had also disappeared due to death erosion, thus exposing parts of the girl’s body.
Especially here at the Knight’s Conference, a competition that attracts everyone’s attention.
Diana’s cheeks immediately turned red.
Just at that moment.
A crow flew towards the girl.
“It won’t hurt you,” Han Dong reassured her, so as not to let the girl kill the crow with one punch.
As the raven approached, it immediately turned into a thick cloak full of feathers, covering the girl’s body.
“Thank you…”
The girl’s gratitude contained a mixture of emotions, including resentment, anger, and a touch of shyness.
“What’s going on with your body?”
Han Dong still felt a bit embarrassed, after all, he didn’t know beforehand that the girl was participating in the competition with injuries.
Looking at it now.
In the previous semi-finals, the girl was not intentionally weak when facing the Beast Knight… it might be due to her injured body not initially adapting to the rhythm of the battle. She had been slowly adjusting, looking for an opportunity to instantly kill the insufficiently defended knight.
“None of your business… I lost, that’s all.” Diana snapped back and then turned to leave.
Leaving Han Dong feeling awkward.
Halfway walking, Diana suddenly stopped as if she remembered something.
“Captain Curran thinks highly of you… The probing by the Vaughn siblings was merely the Captain wanting to see your ‘stance’. Be sure to report to the Night’s Watch Headquarters later.”
“I’m just delivering the message… Whether or not you come has nothing to do with me.”
“Alright.”
With that, the final match ended.
With the simplest of calculations, Han Dong won the match.
…
In the audience stand,
Diana returned to inside the Black Rose Knights.
Like Hell Sean, she had trained with the Black Rose Knights from five years ago due to her special ‘talent’; the so-called ‘talent’ being her skeletal condition.
She was first discovered in a peculiar underground circus troupe.
A bit of entertainment is still needed by the nobles, so naturally, the circus troupe existed.
Diana was a member, her parents were also acrobats… carrying Eastern blood in her veins.
“Captain Curran… I’ve disappointed you!”
“As expected, you, whose skeleton has not fully recovered, could not possibly be a match for that special student.
The Death field he possesses is unique, and its ‘eroding ability’ is even more intense than the previous Death God.
To you, who are in the ‘healing stage,’ there’s absolutely no way you could have managed it.”
“Hmm… I’ve relayed the information to him. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go rest.”
“Hold on…”
This statement from Curran startled Diana.
“Go back and heal properly, if you need anything, make a request… If this kid gains the identity of the Night’s Watch, I’ll specifically arrange for you two to cooperate. It seems like you two have already established some kind of connection.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“…Okay.”
Diana’s cheeks blushed slightly. She wanted to discard the feathered cloak Han Dong gave her, but she didn’t want to reveal her body.
She was a bit confused and quickly left the scene.
…
“Fortunately, Mia isn’t here, otherwise, she would have rambled on and on… The match was easier than expected since the girl is severely injured, the Death erosion was too dangerous for her.
In terms of ‘attack capability’, she is not weaker than any of the top ten.”
Even after the wound healed,
The residual pain still lingered in Han Dong’s body, difficult to erase.
“That being said, this kind of one-on-one gladiator fight can only select five people. I wonder what the rules for the subsequent matches will be.”
As Han Dong stepped off the arena,
The relic stage returned to its normal stone arena appearance.
Observer Alonso descended in the center, and his voice spread throughout the field through spatial ability:
“The first round of the grand finals has ended.
First, the captains will score the performances of the five losers.
And directly give out the list of ranks from sixth to tenth.
Then, the list of ranks for the top five will be evaluated based on a competition testing ‘comprehensive quality’… the specific rules will be given later.”
“Weapon Master – Brian Greenlanzy ranked tenth, score 4.1.”
“Curse Spider – Mia Seminovich ranked ninth, score 6.1. (Extra 0.5 points for Herbology)”
“Scarab Beetle – Diana Epsilon ranked eighth, score 7.0.”
“Blacksmith – Winry Austin ranked seventh, score 7.1. (Extra 0.5 points for Forging)”
“The Dead – Iguava Masalaqi ranked sixth, score 7.5.”
“The winners will be given one hour of rest time. The Pool of the Sky Gods in the Hercules Arena will be open for a limited time for you to recover. Please follow the staff to proceed.
The rules for the final ranking competition will officially be announced in an hour.”
After such an intense match, a period of recovery is necessary.
Due to time constraints,
Han Dong, Dumps, and Abe all hurried to the so-called Pool of the Sky Gods
And quickly submerged their bodies in it.
