Dylan’s gaze shifted over to Ulmer. “What is your name, Son?”Everyone was surprised that he called a stranger a ‘son.’What was Ulmer supposed to say now? He wouldn’t lie, but if he were to give an answer, he’d be giving his identity away to Brianna, and he didn’t want to do that just yet.Ulmer lifted his head and looked at the emperor whose level he could see. It was level 99. But there was a question mark next to his level as if suggesting that he was not at full health or something.“The Emperor is asking you a question,” Neodus said. “Why aren't you answering? Did your head grow heavier because you managed to get a wild card for the competition?”Vincent’s gaze also turned sharp. His mother quickly said, “No matter how many people participate, it’ll be my son who’s winning it.”“My name is…” Ulmer said, “Knight Beater.”A brief silence followed.Nobody liked his response, but then the emperor suddenly started laughing. “Hahaha,” he almost shed a tear from laughing so much.Nobod
As Ulmer left with the Foster family, Brianna was looking at Ulmer. (Is it just my imagination, or why does he give off a familiar feeling?)Ulmer briefly glanced toward her. When his gaze met with her’s, she felt something stirring in her heart, which made her hand touch her chest.Vincent noticed that. (This bastard… Is he trying to mess with my woman?) He clenched his fists. (I will crush you in the competition.)Vincent’s mom took him to a separate room. Neodus also entered the room. They gave him multiple systems to temporarily boost his level as well as his skills. This wasn’t against the rules in the competition because one would not be able to use any system unless they were accepted by the system. However, compared to the nobles, the systems that the royals had were of another level, so this improved the chances of Vincent reaching the final round very much.“Win the games, and then claim the prize as well as the princess,” Neodus told him. “Then my dad will have no choice bu
Within two minutes, a spare metal block was brought over and was installed firmly into the holes in the ground so that it wouldn’t budge.This time, the block was bigger, so many people began to complain. However, the event manager told everyone that the density of the block was still the same. Still and all, some people kept hissing and complaining.It was Ulmer’s turn now.Brianna had already left, and even the Foster family had also left. They probably expected him to easily win this round.“Are you watching?” Ulmer asked.“Yes,” Ayana and others from his family replied.Ulmer was using the light stone to send the data of whatever he was seeing. This data was projected on the house wall with the help of the clone’s eyes.“It feels like I’m the one participating in the games,” Suki excitedly said. “Break that big rock into two pieces, Brother!”Kale also clapped in excitement. Dustin and Robin were in the background, looking nervous.“Here I go. This one’s for Suki,” Ulmer punched t
The knight of noble Branwen was the first one that stepped onto the stage.“Hahaha,” Branwen was laughing outside, but on the inside, he was crying. (Dammit. What cursed luck I have. My noble is at level 63. He’s probably going to lose against that young man they call the Knight Beater.) Though he couldn’t see Ulmer’s face, he still recognized him from how the people were referring to him.Branwen was the second noble that had come to Ulmer’s home and met him. He was at level 69 but had high aspirations of becoming a top noble.Nobody from the royal family came to watch as this was just the third round.“I’m Denge,” the blue-haired knight introduced himself. “I pledge my loyalty for Lord Branwen. He still wishes that you work for him.”“I don’t work for anyone,” Ulmer replied. “Tell that to your lord.”“You leave me no choice,” Denge unsheathed his sword and swung it in a circular manner, creating water out of thin air. “Diligent Waterfall Jolt!”Like a growing arm, the water burst fo
“So you have seen through my level, huh…” Alveron smiled. “You are indeed interested. No wonder ‘she’ told me to deal with you now itself.”“She? Who is she?” Ulmer asked out of intrigue.“You don’t need to know because you’re going to lose,” Alveron said.“Everyone who showed such confidence before me left crying,” Ulmer replied. “You are going to be no exception.”“You’ve got a big mouth, young man, but can you really give me a proper fight which I haven't had in a long time?” Alveron said.“That depends on you.”“We’ll see about that,” Alveron unsheathed his sword, and straight away, Ulmer felt a tremendous invisible pressure pushing him down even though his opponent didn’t make any move.“What is this?” Ulmer frowned. “Gravity?”“Correct,” Alveron slashed sword diagonally. “Gravity Eruption!”Ulmer was forcibly pulled toward the sword.BANG~~!!The sword struck Ulmer’s cross-arm block, and a strong pulling force spread out in every direction.It was so powerful that the audience f
“You haven’t seen anything yet,” Alveron pierced the sword into the stage and uttered, “Gravity Cage.”A black bird-cage like object completely filled the state both of them were on, and only Ulmer felt pressure from every direction, not just pulling from below, but from above and from left and right and diagonally as well. This was the 3D pressure put on every inch of his body, trying to rip him apart into pieces.Killing was allowed in Noble Games as long as it wasn’t a noble, so knights and others were allowed to kill themselves.So, Alveron did not go easy. He put all his strength and did not hold back.To others who had never experienced Gravity Cage, it looked like a normal attack, but only those who had experienced it before knew how devastating it would be.Zebron and some others who knew its power had a serious expression on their faces. “Is he trying to kill that young man?”Rever frowned. “That looks very dangerous. Alveron the Animal… why is he going that far? Couldn’t he
Alveron held the sword in reverse grip and lunged forth and stabbed it down as one would stab with a knife. “Gravity Fang!”Ulmer blocked the sword with his bare hand.The sword dug through his hand and then the shoulder.A strong black lightning burst forth and utterly destroyed the stage beneath them. A strong earthquake spread in multiple directions and destroyed not just the other stages but also the audience stands, causing people to freak out.Ulmer grabbed Alveron’s sword with his bare hand so that he wouldn’t be able to push it down further. Ulmer then swiftly swiped his other hand. “Heavenly Claw!”Alveron moved his head back, but Ulmer’s claws still cut up his skin very badly, making him bleed from his face very much. “Urgh…” Alveron used his ability to seal up the wounds, but to his surprise, the wounds opened up again. “What the…”On the contrary, Ulmer’s injuries closed up. “This is goodbye,” he leaped forth, spun through the air and kicked at Alveron.Alveron thrust his
The fourth round was a one on one match between the participants.To Ulmer’s luck, his opponent was Mobel, the knight he first met after coming to this city.“Aren’t I lucky?” Ulmer said.Mobel did not look that confident, but he said, “For Lord Dracarius, I will defeat you.”“Because of Dracarius, I will also beat the shit out of you,” Ulmer told him. “I’ve heard a lot of bad things that he does, you see. I have no respect for such a crooked man. Since you work for him, I am not going to go easy on you.”“Don’t get cocky just because you won against Alveron by fluke!” Mobel charged him and swung his sword, creating a whirlwind.Ulmer waved his hand and not only dispelled the whirlwind but also caught Mobel’s blade at the tip. With a twist of his wrist, he broke the sword and then grabbed Mobel by the face and crushed him to the ground.Mobel’s eyes whitened immediately as he coughed blood.With a kick, he sent Mobel flying off the big stage.Ulmer then glanced toward a few people in
