Chapter 42: The First Seal

On the eighty-fifth day of receiving the mission, hundreds of qualified people arrived one after another, although most of them were some professions with semi-abandoned inheritances, or abilities whose power system was not in the mainstream. But they basically have combat effectiveness above level 3, and they have a wide variety of complementary abilities, and on the whole they are a very powerful combat force.

In order to save their lives, the Qualified Ones almost broke the bank and threw themselves into the final battle, bringing all kinds of new equipment. A lot of information has been added to Ivan's database, but they haven't lost anything, with a set of individual combat mechs per person, and free weapon modifications.

According to the instructions of the NPC of Evan's mission, all 125 qualified people stayed in the space fortress and received cooperative training to run in with each other to avoid being scattered and broken by the enemy.

In the process, although they complained, they never had the opportunity to make trouble.

That's right, it's that you don't have the opportunity to make trouble, not that you don't have the heart to make trouble.

Because there are a considerable number of pessimists among the qualified people, they believe that this trial will definitely be ten deaths, so they do not care about their own life or death. Just think about indulging in pleasure before you die, or just make a big deal to vent.

It's a pity that this group of people has no chance at all, and they don't need to mobilize troops, and the mecha army in the space fortress is enough to suppress all internal strife. In addition, they are also more afraid of the quest NPC Evan - after all, he is the runner-up of the King of Fighters competition, except for the plug-in zero, the instant dragon killing punch is almost invincible.

Today, the Empire's defenses have been consolidated, and all 22 provinces have been built as defense bases. In addition to a variety of heavy firepower weapons, it is also equipped with an energy barrier system, which can be completely isolated from the outside environment at any time to avoid the invasion of monsters.

Among them, the royal capital Ekhtaton was taken care of, and Evan concentrated all the resources he could muster, hired a large construction team of the Federation, and hollowed out two kilometers of the royal capital, including Mirror Lake, under the bewilderment of the residents. Then a super-large fortification was built that could use a 10-million-yield nuclear explosion as a wind, and the royal city of Ekhtadon was moved underground in the process, and then two layers of defensive walls were built over the royal city.

In this way, the royal city of Ekhtadon is in a safe position on the third basement level, and the first two floors are heavily armed areas. With the most elite military and industrial-grade heavy weapons on the ground, and the protection of space fortresses and space-based weapons above, coupled with the tall and stable fortifications like levees, it can be said that the limit has been reached.

Once the monsters attack, the empire can quickly deploy troops to carry out a three-dimensional attack with Ekhtadon City as the center.

One-one-one-one-one-one

The reception hall of the royal court.

Ivan sat on the top seat, and next to him sat a female witcher wearing black leather armor and steel gloves. She wears a forehead guard on her head, a symbol of a high-ranking witcher, white skin, short hair with a pale blonde middle part, and beautiful pale gold eyes—Tessa who fought alongside Evan in the first place.

On the desk on his left hand side, a golden sun-wheel neck ornament with wavy edges floats on the surface of the neck ornament.

"I'm very happy that you can retrieve one of the Seven Hallows, the Wisdom Wheel, for the Empire. In addition to the reward you deserve, I promise you a request, feel free to mention it!" Ivan smiled and nodded.

"I just want to return the Wheel of Wisdom so that the Empire can quell the demon disaster as soon as possible, and I don't need additional rewards. Tessa shook her head lightly and replied with a slight restraint.

"If you are not rewarded for meritorious service, you will be punished, have you thought clearly?"

"Huh!?" the witcher looked confused.

"Meritorious service is not rewarded, which is undoubtedly forcibly raising moral standards, and morally forcing later people to give up rewards. Since there is no reward for meritorious service, what credit do they make?In the long run, the enthusiasm of ordinary people will be reduced, so that no one will be willing to recover the holy weapon for me, do you think you should be punished?" Ivan asked with round eyes and feigned anger.

"Then I'll take the reward...... As for the requirements...... I haven't figured it out yet. Tessa replied weakly.

"Don't worry, when you think clearly, you can come to see me at any time. ”

As he spoke, Evan got up from his seat, picked up the magic wheel on the surface of the desk, and pointed to the front door with his left hand flat: "You can go back and rest now, you can find Renny if you need anything in life...... Also, say hello to Captain Orcas on my behalf. ”

"Yes! goodbye then. Tessa bowed to the order, then turned and left the reception hall, and walked briskly out of the royal court, led by a waiter.

After seeing the figure of this heroic demon hunter disappear, Evan couldn't help laughing, raised the wisdom wheel in his hand to the light, and carefully studied the mysterious characters on the surface of the sun wheel:

"The True Scepter, the Eye of Ugarth, the Labyrinth of Eternity, the Wheel of Wisdom, the Balance of Good and Evil, the Crown of the Sun...... Now six of the seven holy artifacts are in my hands, and only the Holy Palace Key that is sleeping in the depths of a canyon waterhole is left!"

At this moment, the identifier on his left wrist suddenly lit up, and after hitting the answer button, the screen showed a gloomy face of the white bear:

"Captain, you have to come to the Space Fortress for a fight, someone is leading the way. ”

"Who?" said Ivan calmly put down the wheel of wisdom and put it into the space armband, asking lightly.

One by one, one by one

Space Fortress, Training Hall.

At this moment, there was a bustle in this space that simulated a mountainous area, and a muscular man with a naked upper body, camouflage pants and military boots on the lower body, coffee-colored skin, a collapsed nose, small eyes, and turned lips turned out, was standing on a turf-encroached mound and yelling:

"What is this? What are we doing here!? We are warriors, we are qualified, we are players of this game! Why should we listen to the orders of a half-hung king and receive simple and boring training here!? We want to be free! We want to indulge! We also want to call the women of this planet! the rules of the horse, who can guarantee that we will live if we listen to him? If we will die sooner or later, why do we accept such useless training? It is precisely because time is short that we should have fun in time!"

As he spoke, he was constantly accompanied by excited body movements, and the dreadlocks that were tied up in thin curls also flicked with clusters, and he looked very emotional.

"That's right! We want women! We want beautiful women!

"That's it! We are working so hard for his country, and he is reluctant to give away even a female slave, which is really a pity!"

"I heard that the queen of this country is a super beauty, why don't we go and snatch her over, how about we enjoy it together!?"

Many people of good deeds followed the trend and shouted blindly with whistles and muscular men as the center, and the atmosphere of noise and uproar tended to become more and more intense.

Whoosh——!

A dazzling light flashed in the space, and in the moment when everyone didn't have time to react, it drowned the muscular man's body from front to back. Then, a deafening crash pierced people's eardrums, and a wide ravine hundreds of yards long appeared in the middle of the mountain without warning. The dust ejected from the surface formed a magnificent waterfall in mid-air, falling like a drizzle.

At the other end of the ravine, a strong black man with twisted joints in his whole body was lying in the mud and sand with a painful face, and his whole body was twisted like a twisted flower, unable to move.

At this moment, the space suddenly fell silent, and all the qualified people who were coaxing him closed their mouths together. They all raised their heads and looked at the oncoming figure, revealing a look of fear and jealousy.

"You're here to pass the final trial! No one is asking you to stay here, no one is obligated to protect you, if you want to leave, you can get out now. ”

Evan flicked his right fist lightly and strode towards the group of people, a trace of sharpness in his black eyes was like a cold blade, instantly cutting into their hearts: "If you want to stay here and live, you must abide by the rules here." You have any opinions, you can have any ideas to say, but if I find anyone who dares to make trouble......"

At this point he paused deliberately, and then abruptly accentuated his tone, his voice like a knife splitting a gold stone and sparks splashing everywhere:

"I don't need the monster to make a move, I'll help him get rid of it first. ”

"Hehehehe...... Hahaha...... It's amazing, it's really not the runner-up of the King of Fighters competition. ”

The strong black man with twisted joints suddenly sneered in a low voice, the green tendons on his face burst out, and the bones and muscles of his body were constantly shaking because of the laughter. Then he staggered back to his feet, the twisted joints rattling and quickly screwing back into place like loose screw caps.

"But sneak attack is not a skill, if you have the ability, you can win me again. ”

After saying this, he took a deep breath abruptly, and his sturdy figure quickly began to change in an instant, and a purple-black flame of light burned up to envelop it. Bulging muscles, musculoskeletal knots, thickening of the epithelium...... His body grew rapidly from human form at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding and becoming stronger.

——!Shh

His military camouflage pants were directly torn apart by the bulging muscular skin underneath, as if blowing, and in just a few seconds, the muscular man transformed from a brown-skinned human to a purple-black werewolf more than three meters tall and with thick hair.

The werewolf was covered in purple-black light mist, a mad aura that spread out around its body like countless tentacles of smoke.

A blood-red vertical pupil lit up from his forehead, and the other two blood-colored pupils complemented each other.

Buzz——!

It slammed down, its legs tilted outward, and grasped the ground with one hand, striking an instantaneous sprint: "Don't worry, I'll be merciful...... Because it's not fun to kill you directly, I'll break your limbs, then grab your queen and make her pregnant in front of you!"

Boom ——!

Before the werewolf's words fell, a bright light instantly pierced through, once again submerging its figure - another wide ravine hundreds of meters long appeared in the middle of the field without warning, and a golden arc of light could be faintly seen in the tumbling sand above.

A few black hairs fluttered in the air, slowly falling to the ground, and the crowd of onlookers turned their eyes to the ravine, but could not find its body—it took several seconds for them to be convinced that the foul-mouthed black man had been completely destroyed.

"You brought it on yourself. Evan stood in place with a cold expression, looked at the black hair remaining in the ravine, and said slowly.

Witnessing the scene of Evan killing the werewolf in seconds, the qualified people who had been making trouble before were instantly quiet, and they all returned to their respective training teams, sweating and practicing hard - these people had all become model workers at this time, and they never talked about freedom, indulgence, or wanting women.

At the top of the rockery on the northwest side of the training ground, Tesla sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, looked at the three 100-meter-long ravines in front of him, squinted his eyes and asked coldly:

"Do you see his punch clearly?"

"......" Peggy stared at the smoky ravine, pursed her lips, and shook her head without saying a word.

"This is his famous stunt, the Tooth Dragon Killing Fist, a super nirvana second only to the divine skill. The movement of the punch was lightning fast, and ordinary people couldn't see the movement of this move clearly, making him seem as if he was stuck in place. A punch is like a ray of light, and the power is even more earth-shattering, and it can strike first. ”

The corners of Tesla's mouth pulled up a sneer, and he said rather gloatingly: "Simon, this idiot, thinks that he has touched the threshold of the fourth level, and he will transform wildly, so he dares to play tricks with martial arts masters, which is called not death, he will not die!"

"This guy...... It's so strong!" Peggy subconsciously agreed.

"I've seen the video of Evan fighting the Plough Khan and Zero...... It can be said that the instantaneous dragon killing punch is almost invincible, and even if it is as strong as a plow khan, it can't last a few rounds. Zero, who has a weak basic ability, is even more powerless, if it weren't for the shit luck of that guy and inherited the combat experience of the Eve Ancestors...... The honorific title of the King of Fighters should belong to Evan. Tesla sighed with some regret.

"Talent-wise, Evan and Zero...... No, Ivan and Ives are at the same level as the Ancestors, except that Zero stands on the shoulders of giants. Peggy said in a serious tone.

"Well, this guy is definitely a genius in mixed martial arts......"

Boom ——!

Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar in the distance, and the space fortress seemed to shake violently.

Ahh——!h

A scream of pain similar to that of a woman's childbirth, penetrating from far to near, piercing through the shell of a space fortress and into everyone's ears.

In an instant, everyone's faces were filled with pain.

Immediately after, an ethereal song of vagueness resounded in the air, like a bewitching kraken singing a song from a fairy tale, or like a solemn ritual in praise of the gods—dense layers of harmonies came and went.
