Summoning the Holy Sword

As opposed to feeling nervous, Rhode felt relieved when he witnessed Anne getting flung off the arena. This was because he saw that even though it appeared dangerous, she wasn’t in any life threatening danger. After Carody pierced his dagger into her palm, she instantly grabbed it, which was why he failed to pierce her heart. And now, Anne had fallen off the arena, meaning that she lost…

Rhode darted to her side and held her up. Just as he had expected, although the wound on her chest was a ghastly sight, it wasn’t deadly. Anne forced out a smile.

“Leader, Anne did it, right? Not even five minutes and Anne left the arena.”

“I don’t know if I should complement you or not.”

Rhode shook his head, pulled out the dagger in her palm, and tossed it aside. Marlene, Lize, and the rest had also arrived frantically. After seeing Anne’s smile, the tension in them was immediately alleviated.

However, Rhode wasn’t relieved.

“Lize, heal Anne’s wounds and remember, you have to remove the poison first before applying Lapis’s potions. Wait for two minutes and if anything’s not right with Anne, inform me immediately. Understand?”

“Ah, okay!”

Although Lize didn’t know why Rhode gave such a command, she subconsciously nodded. Then, Marlene held Anne up and they headed to the back. Rhode, on the other hand, turned to Carody.

A thought flashed through Mobis’s mind.

Am I capable of winning this?

If it was before the competition, Mobis would never have such thoughts. To him, it was a guaranteed victory and there was no possibility of his men being defeated. Apart from Marlene, who would give their team a headache, the others weren’t even worth mentioning.

However, reality was always cruel.

Kalman’s defeat by Marlene was predictable, but the next unknown young lady who had easily defeated Carter without blinking her eyes was astounding. From then, Mobis realised that this mercenary group wasn’t as simple as he thought. They didn’t seem weak at all and they performed out of his expectations continuously.

So then, what would this black haired young man, the leader of this mercenary group, do?

Mobis became serious, because no matter what, he was the final line of defense for his guild. No matter how strong this black-haired young man was, he needed to win this and lead the Sky Sword Guild to the next stage. He gazed at Rhode before bowing slightly and withdrawing the sword from his waist.

That was a slick, emerald-green sword. The sword blade shimmered like crystals and the sword hilt was entwined with vines that were filled with life and greenish branches.

“Chrysoprase Sword!”

Many exclaimed in awed as this was the treasure of the Sky Sword Guild! Although it had always been Mobis’s sword, they knew that he didn’t use this sword for a long time. And now, he was going to use it on this arena?

It seems like Leader Mobis is taking this seriously!

The audience stood up and stared at the arena with anticipation.

They were looking forward… Or perhaps waiting for a victory anxiously.

Good. Chrysoprase Sword; it seems like Mobis is serious.

Rhode nodded as Mobis drew his sword. He placed his right hand before his chest and bowed. Then, he placed his right arm forward.

A glittering magical radiance flickered in his hand. He flipped it to the side and grabbed at it.

Shing!

A pitch-black sword appeared and almost everyone was stunned.

Where did that sword come from?

They stared with their eyes wide. No matter what, when Rhode stepped onto the arena, there weren’t any weapons on him. So where did this black sword appear from?

And the magical radiance from before was…

Rhode didn’t give them too much time to consider because he had lifted his sword and pointed it at the old man on the opposite end.

The battle had begun.
