Ace knew that El's team had killed three upper demons and five mid-level demons. In this way, they also killed 157 low-level demons. This combat achievement is truly commendable.

In the past three years, there have not been many upper-middle demons who have come out of the Abyss Gate. There were only three upper level demons, all of whom were successfully killed by Al and her team.

In the internal core battle circle, the Empire always allows groups of hunters above the Magister level to enter in turn, and always keeps an eye out for all anomalies in the Abyssal Gate.

Ace looked at the mid-level pillar, and his group appeared at the top.

"Silver Medal Standings"

[Ace, Henry, Kara, Zavarado, Calero, Drew, Arak, Lyon.

Battle Points: 452

Combat Merit Level: A]

If you add the commander who was killed this time, Obilis, Ace's team can score 552 points in military skills, which further widens the gap between the first and second teams.

As for the second-place team, the military merit rating is only C, and the military merit score is 143 points.

The "bronze medal list" of the right wing is even bleaker. Despite having the largest number of teams, they don't have many combat results, and they are almost always ranked in F.

For low-level mages who only have black iron, it is impossible for them to enter the barrier to hunt demons, because to do so is tantamount to seeking death.

They are mainly responsible for picking the herbs needed by the alchemists in the forest, but even then, each operation must be protected by two magisters, three paladins, or warlords. After all, their strength is too weak. If they encounter a high-level magical beast, they will suffer heavy casualties.

Junior mages, warriors, or knights, the empire mainly allows them to enter the Monster Mountain for training, and when they have enough strength to join the hunting group.

Garolo soon discovers the record of Ace's and his team's combat achievements, and then begins to record.

"On April 14, 1008 in the Mandala Calendar, Ace's team managed to kill a mid-level demon, increasing his military skill points by 100 points!" Garolo's voice was loud, as if he wanted everyone around him to hear.

But someone behind him snorted, "How can you give the task of killing mid-level demons to their team?" Our team can do the same. It was not discussed beforehand and handed it over to them directly. When will our military merits surpass theirs? ”

Along the way, they saw a young man of medium stature sitting on a wooden fence not far away, with a knife cut in his face.

He is about 1.8 meters tall, almost the same as Ace, but much stronger than Ace. Each hangs a dagger less than a meter at his waist. He had two very terrible scars on his face, one on his forehead and the other on his right cheek. The skin is rolled up, and it's a little scary.

Ace was already familiar with the man. He is the sworn enemy of the "Demon Slayer Squad" team, the leader of the second group of the "Silver Medal List", and his name is Symbol.

On the other side of the man, there were seven other team members who looked unhappy.

"Symbol, all the regimental missions of the Empire are arranged by the army commander of Ayr. If you have any opinions, you can go to the army commander to argue. Don't make trouble here! Obviously, Garolo didn't like this man, and even hated him.

Although the Token is not weak, he was already a level 9 warrior before the age of 30. However, this person is always very annoying and often offends others.

Illustration sneered: "I don't dare to make trouble in the military merit department. If Lieutenant Garolo had gone to the army leadership to make a small report, wouldn't the military merits of our group have been cleared? ”

"You!" Garolo's face was angry. Apparently, he heard the meaning of the Symbolic words. However, seeing more and more people gathered around him, he could only snort coldly, not daring to make things worse.

"Why, you know you're wrong, but you can't refute it?" The face of the symbol becomes more and more invisible.

Garolo was so angry that he was about to explode, but Ace stopped him.

"Symbol, if you don't believe me, you can come out and fight with me. We'll see you in the arena. What do you think? Ace stared at the symbols and said every word.

He knew what would happen if he faced a level 9 fighter alone. But he just wanted to use this guy to test where his current limits were.

Seeing Ace say this, the people around him laughed.

"Symbol, you're a ninth-level warrior. Still afraid of an eighth-level magician? ”

"Yes, Symbols. Don't just talk about it. If you have the strength, you can fight Ace! ”

"If it's a man, promise him. Don't be like a woman. Mother-in-law Mommy's! ”

This is the so-called "watching the excitement is not a big deal"!

Seeing so many people around him looking at him, Token naturally couldn't refuse, and immediately agreed: "Well, to be honest, Ace, I've been dissatisfied with your team for a long time!" Each of you is arrogant and feels like a cowhide! ”

Ace sneered, "Don't say that we have never shown arrogance, but even if we had, we would have such qualifications." If you have the ability, you can speak with strength and prove that your strength is stronger than ours! ”

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Don't think we don't know that your father was once the deputy commander of the Order. He had many contacts in the imperial army. If you can keep going well in the army, it must be your father who has been secretly helping you! ”

Ace's eyes suddenly calmed down. Although his father Monchi-D-kamikaze was very popular and was even called a savior hero.

However, since the Battle of the Dragon Slayer more than a decade ago, the kamikaze has never joined the Imperial army. Despite the fact that he made good friends with many Imperial soldiers back then, and the academy's evaluations and competitions, many officers came out in support of Ace and basically reciprocated the kamikaze. How could they continue to help Ace?

The reason for Illustration saying this is entirely a personal prejudice against Ace. After all, in recent years, Ace has been popular in the military.

When Symbolic mentions Ace's life, the people around him start whispering. In recent years, as Ace has become more and more famous in the Imperial Regiment, he is now as famous as the genius warrior Henry. As a result, Ace's story began to spread among the Legion.

His father is said to have been the deputy commander of the Lionheart Knights, but then he made a big mistake and was exiled to a remote town by the Empire; It is said that Kamikaze used to have a good relationship with Aier. In order not to affect Aire's development in the army, he voluntarily chose self-exile.

There are a lot of different versions, all made up by some boring people without any basis.

However, these boring people spread these things through their noses and eyes, leaving some curious people secretly suspicious.

Especially people like Symbol, who are extremely prejudiced against Espen, think that these rumors cannot be unfounded.

So, at this time, the Talisman mentions Ace's life experiences, which causes many people around to start whispering.

When Talation saw his little trick work, he couldn't help but look proud. Many years ago, he was a relatively well-known rising star in the military. He was also quite a good nobleman in the capital of the Empire. At the age of 19, he became a level 7 fighter and was hailed by many as a once-in-a-century genius warrior.

But in recent years, with the advent of Henry, Carla, and Ace, his popularity has quickly been suppressed.

Henry and Kara put pressure on his head, and he was okay with that. After all, they were all children of the nobility and were of noble birth. But what is Ace? The son of an exiled sinner, who even climbed on his own head? This made his fragile self-esteem completely unacceptable.

Ace's perceptual abilities are now amazing. Naturally, he could clearly hear the swear words of the snarky people around him.

Nowadays, many old veterans are very polite and respectful to Ace, not only because of his strength, but also because of his father's glory.

Those young people, on the other hand, are the other extreme altogether. Although they are polite to Ace on the surface, they slander Ace in private. In fact, they are jealous of their peers.

At the time, most of the people who used foul language were young people of Ace's age, who hated and feared Ace.

These people hated that their power was not as strong as Ace, and they couldn't get enough attention from the Legion and couldn't get the hearts of those female mages. But they didn't dare to say it clearly. After all, they were afraid of Ace's power.

Now, when Dynamo publicly mentions Ace's life history, they naturally don't miss this opportunity to vent their anger and start talking about how Ace used his father's connections to make himself famous.

"Is that enough?" Ace looked around coldly. "If you don't believe me, you can fight me in the arena."

One by one, those people shut up. Many of them are only average. How dare they compete with Ace?

Soon, Ace and Talmus arrive on the battlefield in the center of the camp.

It is a very small place, only 62 square meters, surrounded by a wooden fence.

In recent years, the Empire has not had much pressure to deal with the Abyss Demons. Therefore, in order to maintain the combat state of the fighters, such a battlefield was opened in the center of the barracks, where it was convenient for young people to learn from each other and improve their real combat experience.

Of course, the premise of the battle is to the point and never be heavy-handed.

In each battle, Magisters, Warlords, and Paladins will oversee the battles. Once the battle becomes uncontrollable, they will stop the fight to avoid tragedy.

Two young men stood on the battlefield one after the other, surrounded by more and more people.

In the front-line barracks, there was no other recreation. Watching fights has become a favorite pastime for many fighters.

On the edge of the battlefield, several of Ace's teammates also heard the news and came here to cheer for Ace, but only Kara did not show up.

"Ace, come on, I've been looking at that symbol and I'm not happy. Spank his ass hard! Zavalado shouted as he slapped the wooden fence.

Arak and Leon also shouted for Ace, "Boss, we have your back!" Knock him down so he can't get up! ”

Henry and Drew looked at each other with smiles on their faces, as if they were confident in Ace's power.

Although Calero was injured, after some treatment, there was basically no problem. At this time, seeing Ace's eyes, he smiled at him and nodded.

Seeing all the brothers come to cheer for him, Ace felt a little warm inside.

One of the generals walked up to the center of the field, stood between Ace and Symbol, and said, "I don't think I need to say any more about the rules of battle." It's okay to compete. But not a life-and-death battle. Do you understand? ”

When the two nodded, the battle began.

As the warrior left the battlefield, the onlookers began to shout loudly.

Symbolic looked at Ace coldly, not in a hurry. In his opinion, he was a level 9 warrior, and Ace was only a level 8 dark mage. Even if he has the ability to upgrade to level 9 in a short period of time, it won't last long. As long as he can survive that time, he should be able to win.

Moreover, the battlefield is not big. For fighters, this is definitely the best combat terrain. After all, the advantage of the magician is the range, and the playing field is only 60 square meters. As long as Ace's space for movement is greatly reduced, the Symbols will have a great advantage.

Seeing that the symbol did not move, Ace immediately sneered: "Idiot! ”

At first, he didn't use the "stealth" magic, because Ace wanted to test the power of the symbol and let the opponent launch a round of attacks first.

But now, this guy is a little too arrogant, and he didn't start right away, which means that the Symbol directly gave Ace the first move.

Ace recited the incantation and hid on the spot.

He was in no hurry to cast a "deflat" spell.

Seeing Ace disappear, the Token's eyes suddenly sharpened.

Ace slowly approached the symbol. Seeing that the distance between them was only ten meters, he immediately trapped the Talisman with the "Dark Cage" magic.

Seeing Ace appear, Talisman raised his greatsword and tried to hit Ace.

However, when the greatswords touched the Dark Cage, they made a clear sound. They just broke through the obstacle and didn't cut Ace.

On the other side, Ace cast the "Dark Swamp" magic again in an instant.

A large puddle of black liquid appeared at the foot of the symbol, and the black liquid wrapped around his body.

"Get out!" Symbolic drank a lot of wine, and a light blue light appeared on his body, forcing all the black liquid back.

But before he was able to escape the range of the "Dark Swamp", Ace shouted again, "Dark Impact! ”

A huge black ball instantly appeared in front of Ace, and quickly flew towards the symbol.

Ace has been talking about magic spells.

"Night is falling!"

"Dark Thorn Bush!"

"Hidden!"

For a while, Ace casts a round of control magic on the symbols, which makes him confused and slightly embarrassed.

Whenever the Talisman tried to get close to Ace, the few spells he had just cast would make it impossible for him to move smoothly.

Seeing that he was being controlled and that there were so many people watching, he suddenly became angry.

He roared at the sky, shaking off all of Ace's control magic. Then, he stepped on the ground with his right foot, and the whole person turned into a sharp sword and rushed towards Ace.

Ace saw that the Symbol had recovered from the initial chaos, and he knew he couldn't hold it anymore. Ace directly used the "Explosion" magic to instantly reach level 9 in his strength.

Feeling the strength in his body, Ace felt in a good mood. Seeing the Talisman rush towards his body, he calmly used a "pause".

The Symbol flies in with an "explosive pace" and suddenly faints. Ace did not hesitate to "tear" three times in a row and "shatter" once.

When Talon woke up, he felt only sharp pain in his back and body, and his breathing was uneven.

Ace used "Extreme Speed" to quickly close the distance between the two.

After a short break, the Dynamo quickly adapted to the pain caused by "tearing" and "shattering".

Ace couldn't help but exclaim, the physical fitness of the fighters was indeed strong enough.

At this point, the Dynamo is clearly much calmer. Seeing that Ace was ready to distance himself again, he naturally wouldn't let Ace succeed.

He stomped heavily on the ground with his foot, leaving a 6-centimeter-deep footprint, and his body slammed into Ace's direction at a rapid pace.

At the same time, a light yellow streamer appeared in the giant sword in his hand, extending to both sides, greatly reducing the breakthrough distance of Ace's use of "extreme speed".

Seeing that the Symbol was about to approach him, Ace didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly used the "Black Shadow" to force the Symbol back to 30 meters away.

Token never thought Ace would make such a move.

He originally wanted to close the distance and fight Ace directly in close quarters, but soon he discovered that the two black shadows could rotate and shrink or expand the circle according to Ace's idea, so he finally had to abandon this simple idea.

Ace uses the magical effect of "Dark Shadow Rotation" to attack the symbol again. This time, however, the symbols are clearly on the defensive, so the effect is not ideal.

Over time, the magic of "Dark Shadow Spin" will quickly fade.

Dynamo saw the right moment and quickly approached Ace's position. He carried the greatsword diagonally.

The sharp section collided with the rocks on the ground, creating sparks.

Ace saw himself pushed to the edge of the battlefield and was unable to retreat. He can only force the Symbols to distance himself with his magic attacks, and then look for an opportunity to use "Extreme Speed".

However, at this time, the Symbol's fighting spirit is very high. Ace is a bit slow with each move, and the symbols increase the frequency of attacks.

Seeing that Ace couldn't dodge, the female mage of the legion couldn't help but scream.

On the other hand, several of Ace's teammates, Leon and Arak, were calm. Henry was talking to Calero and Drew in a low voice, pointing out the situation from time to time.

Looking at Zavalado, who was the most abrupt in the crowd, he covered his nose even more unhurriedly.

Ace saw Talem walk ahead of him. He took half a step back, then stepped on the stake behind him. He turned into a sharp arrow and immediately went over the head of the symbol, trying to follow it.

However, Symbolic was so focused at this point that he saw that Ace was about to escape from the top of his head. His greatsword immediately moved upwards and slashed at Ace in the air.

Ace was in the air and had no strength. Seeing the blade in front of him, he didn't have time to cast a spell to escape. He could only instinctively hold the crossbow to his chest.

With a "clank", the crossbow split in two. The remaining strength of those knives remained, and they suddenly cut through the sleeves of Ace's robes, leaving two deep wounds on his arms.

Seeing the blood keep flowing down, Ace was a little shocked. He immediately ripped off a good rune cloth from his robe and wrapped the wound haphazardly to prevent blood from dripping. Then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "It's funny!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Leon and Arak, who had been shouting cheers, both stood up straight.

The three Henry also stopped talking. They held their breath and began to pay attention to the situation in the arena.

Even Zavalado kept his tomahawk by his side and crossed his hands on his chest. Although he still stands awkwardly, his serious eyes and twisted eyebrows suggest that he is not relaxed now.

"Arak, is the boss serious?" Leon nudged Arak on the shoulder.

Arak waved at him. "Don't speak, it's a critical moment."

Henry's face was as calm as water: "Ace should be serious." We always see him take every demon seriously. However, we don't know what he would do when confronted with people. ”

The other onlookers also consciously quieted down. For a while, the entire arena was in a very strange silence, except for the sound of the cold wind blowing and the sound of mage robes flying.

Symbol's eyes were serious, and he glanced around, trying to find Ace's location.

Ace's blood remained on the greatsword. At this time, it was flowing down the knife groove and falling to the ground.

Ace estimated that his "burst" magic would only last five minutes. If he can't end the fight within five minutes, he loses.

After all, the opponent was a powerful level 9 warrior who was more than ten years older than Ace. He definitely has more combat experience than Ace.

However, Ace never used summoning magic against a person? Ace always thought it was unfriendly to do that.

Ace quietly approached the symbol, then stood down, looking him up and down, looking for a breakthrough.

Soon, he noticed that when the Symbol was standing, his body was always slightly tilted to the left. That is, there should be something wrong with his right foot or right leg, and he does not dare to let his center fall on his right leg.

Guessing this, Ace no longer hesitated.

"Dark Vortex!" Ace recited in his heart, and then saw a black energy vortex in front of the symbol, and it rushed towards the symbol quickly.

At the same time, Ace's appearance is also blocked by the black vortex, which makes it impossible for the Token to lock on to the target in the first place.

"Hmph, bells and whistles!" The knife of the symbol slashed, shattering the magic in an instant. Then he saw Ace chanting a magic spell and rushing towards the symbol.

He basically took a small step back, but it was this step that he immediately felt that he had made a mistake, and his right foot immediately became entangled in a thick dark swamp.

He panicked and tried to break free immediately, but his right foot suddenly strained and his muscles were strained by the swamp in a state of extreme tension. He immediately felt a sharp pain in his right leg and gasped for air.

Before Talem recovers, Ace comes to him.

"Darkness Entanglement!"

Two sharp black shadows turned into sharp threads that pierced the Symbol's armor at the same time, leaving two wounds on his arms, almost in the same position as Ace.

"This is called revenge!" As Ace spoke, a "speed" quickly retreated to a distance of more than 20 meters. He didn't dare to stay with the ninth-level warrior for too long.

Symbols looked at the wound on his hand, then angrily at Ace.

"Okay, we're even. I'm not going to be polite anymore! Before hearing Ace's words, his body was gone. While changing positions, he kept chanting incantations and launching intensive attacks on the symbols.
