Chapter 428

Chapter 428: Chapter 0428: Transformation

“The attack-oriented [Sword Saint] meeting the high-defense [Sacred Warrior] is indeed a tragedy…”

Su Lu was looking at the field quietly, frowning slightly.

Even though James won, in order to achieve this victory and to kill Thorn in the process, he paid a heavy price—his chest had been pierced by the [Sword Saint]. This kind of horrifying injury could potentially kill most of the Fifth Level Professionals!

Even if he was a [Sacred Warrior] known for his physical strength and recovery, he was essentially crippled!

When Lawrence called James back, there wasn’t much expression on his face.

To the church’s hierarchy, [Sacred Warrior] was merely a tool, regrettable if damaged, but they would certainly not be devastated.

“You… You guys!”

The rest of the two [Sword Saints], pulling out their short swords, also had a standoff on Su Lu’s side.

A few moments later, Tops said in a muffled voice: “You guys have no credibility!”

“No, among occupational persons’ competitions, which ones are without casualties?” Arsen replied with a smirk: “Or did you think that battle is a child’s play?”

Although fifth level professionals would not easily die, but that was an ‘unspoken rule’ that could not be broken.

Tops’s face turned red, he took a deep breath: “Fine… Let’s go on to the second round.”

“I’ll go.”

Rick, the older brother of the Welsh third brother, stepped out, looking at us with deep eyes, his gaze made even Su Lu feel a chill: “Swear on the honor of the [Sword Saint], I will make you pay!”

‘Huh? That’s a bit strange…’

Su Lu felt something was amiss.

The opponents were initially agitated, but soon calmed down and seemed extremely composed.

He looked toward the field.

Although Thorn’s corpse was still there, an indescribable sense was spreading.

It was as if something in Thorn’s corpse had been taken away!

‘This…’

Su Lu’s pupils shrank, and he looked more intently at the field.

At this time, Schumacher stepped forward: “Leave this round to me.”

…

At this moment, in Nia City.

Dale Angerskin, dressed like an old nobleman, was lying there smiling as he looked at the passage of the Dream of the Ancient God:

“Arrogant seeds need the irrigation of blood.”

“The bodies of legendary professionals are the best fertilizer.”

“When the arrogant seeds bloom, the Lord of Madness will return at the feast!”

“Now, the curtain of the drama, is being drawn!”

“My lord… please enjoy and savor this pleasure…”

The only condition to breaking the hiding of the Shewinado temple is the blood sacrifice of the legendary professional!

Although Tops accused Arsen’s side of killing, in reality, if they had the opportunity, they would also choose to kill without hesitation!

You could say that because both sides were ill-intentioned, this originally unstated comparison had turned into a perilous duel!

“And the other characters in this drama are starting to make their entrances.”

Dale’s gaze moved to the other side of the city, a tentative smile playing around his lips.

Suddenly, his body was wrapped in a flame and disappeared in burning.

A gentle breeze swept through the street, and it was quiet all around.

A few moments later, a voice sighed quietly: “He runs really fast… Did he notice something?”

…

“Bukadi… What do you think Dale is up to?”

At the other end of the city, light and shadow converged, forming the image of [Phantom Demon] Black Kos.

His expression was extremely gloomy, he looked at the young man with snake scales beside him, his mouth twitching.

Although the Ancient Snake Society reportedly has thirteen elders, not every one of them is at the fifth level.

Even now, the Fifth-order Legend remains an insurmountable chasm, deterring countless professionals.

Even in Green Tree Castle, there were originally only three legends, and now an outsider, Su Lu, has been added.

If he had a choice, Black Kos absolutely wouldn’t want to work with a semi-mad Legend.

But there was no other option, Moron was already besieged a long time ago.

At this moment, only Bukadi in the Ancient Snake Society could work with him.

‘I just hope that the ceremony he conducted before can slightly suppress his insane state…’

Black Kos silently prayed to the ancient snakes in his heart, while also asking the doubts in his mind.

Dale belongs to the demon family, believing in demons. Sometimes he hunts and devours his own kind, and he doesn’t get along with the Ancient Snake Society.

His proactive cooperation this time and providing the location of Nia City to them baffled Black Kos greatly.

“Hiss… I don’t know. Never ever try to guess the intentions of demon creatures with mortal thinking.”

Bukadi spits out his forked snake tongue, making a hissing sound: “But without the help of the [Hell Demon], I can’t use the power of the mysterious ceremony to bring us here. I sensed…the pathway to the Dream of the Ancient God, it seemed to be filled with many fifth-levels.”

“It seems the information is real.”

Black Kos’s eyes became very dangerous: “The legends from the Federation and Chris Empire are conflicting… that Su Lu is also in there!”

Dangerous light flashed in his eyes, filled with brewing hatred: “Bukadi, you must help me!”

Su Lu’s rejection and subsequent attack last time had been etched in his memory for a long time, he wanted to take his revenge brutally.

…

At this moment, on the Black Peak of the Dream of the Ancient God.

“This… what is this?”

Su Lu’s mouth slightly opened, staring at the battlefield.

Schumacher had disappeared, and in his place, stood a terrifying half-human, half-bear beast, standing five meters tall. Its huge bear paws shone with a dark golden hue, claws sprung out, making a hissing sound, as if they could pierce through space.

“Mr. Schumacher is a [Shapeshifter Druid]!”

Celsus explained to Su Lu on the side.

The initial path of [Druid] starts as a [Planter], rooted in the Church of Mother Earth Goddess. Professionals along this path are known for their ability to nurture magical plants and animals, and this situation persists until fifth level when there will be changes.

[Shapeshifter Druid] is a special job at the fifth level, abandoning the nurturing path to enhance the power of transformation, resulting in a rapid increase in combat power.

At the sixth level, this path can even transform into a Giant Dragon, the pinnacle being a mature Giant Dragon!

“Mr. Schumacher chose the transformation into a Dark Gold Bear… it’s a terrifying war monster that lives in the Dark Continent. Its fur defense is comparable to diamond, and the right claw carries the power to destroy everything.”

Celsus sighed: “It seems, Mr. Schumacher is going all out, aiming to kill Rick here.”

While they were talking, the two Legends on the battlefield continued to exchange blows.

Thwack!

In the end, Rick thrust out his sword, only to be caught by the Dark Gold Bear in its paw.

“Mr. Schumacher has won.”

Celsus said, feeling as if a load had been lifted off his shoulders.

“No… something’s not right.”

Su Lu’s inspiration spread, accurately sensing the superficial emotions of each Legend.

On their side, there was obvious elation.

But on the side of Tops and his group, there was no anger or despair!
