There was only the roar of monsters in the entire arena, and the people watching the rite of passage could not make a sound, but after finally getting used to the situation, someone spoke:

He ...... Is he crazy? Why did you rush up with two swords...... Aren't we living in times where there are guns and cannons? ”

“…… I don't think a gun can pierce the scales of that thing......"

"Is the sword enough?"

"Like...... It really works! You see, His Royal Highness stabbed it in the stomach! ”

"What are you excited about, this is just a show, you don't really think that the prince will be stupid enough to challenge such a big thing, right?"

The arena below was surrounded by a wall a full five hundred meters high, and the interior was almost completely shrouded in boiling smoke and dust, and nothing could be seen clearly, and the people of Shurima could only see the situation of the prince's battlefield through the monitors that had been placed in the arena before.

In fact, the original arena wall was only a dozen meters high, on the one hand, in order to protect the people watching the battle from being threatened, and on the other hand, to make the challenging prince have no way out.

At that time, the royal coming-of-age ceremony had not yet become a so-called show, and Shurima had not yet unified the entire planet, so in order to select the bravest and strongest warriors, Shurima's ancestors established this rule.

If you don't dare to challenge these monsters, you are not qualified to sit on the throne.

In the peacetime years that followed, this rule was seen as a tradition that had endured to this day, and the kings could use the most advanced weapons of their time, and no one had ever dared to challenge it with just two swords as Azir did.

As the black serpents grew larger and the walls of protection for the people grew higher, the tradition became more and more ritualistic.

Until Azir, his walls were specially built, because no black snake had ever been challenged by the prince before him to reach the hundred-meter level.

So some people think that the current Royal Highness is ridiculous, and he deliberately chose the largest black snake so far in order to get the approval of the people, but what can this change, after all, it is a show.

Wouldn't it be a joke if he gave a "come and support me" speech later?

The people sat in the stands, and saw that in the central screen, Azir quickly rolled into a crack in the rock, and the body of the giant snake swam over it, and Azir pulled out his sword with force, and the body of the giant snake did not stop, so the Ulu blade left a scratch on its body.

But this scratch was really just a scratch, and the length of the Ulu blade could not reach the black snake's body, but only left a small wound on the outer layer of its body, and it didn't even feel pain.

The black snake still spits snake letters, and then looks for Azr in the thick sand.

Most of the audience thought it was a show, so they all came with a movie-watching mentality, including the viewers broadcast on various media platforms.

Of course, some people who know the inside story are in a different mood, and he is obviously more excited.

Asitaya's neck flushed: "Your Majesty! You know your son at that time! Your only son! How can you make him do such a ridiculous thing! Please stop!! Stop it!!! ”

"You're ridiculous! What do you think it is? The royal family's coming-of-age ceremony, can it be said that it stops? What would the people of Shurima think? They will think that my son is incompetent and cowardly, cowardly and insignificant, and who will recognize him as the emperor of Shurima? ”

Vichyna glared at him, and the latter immediately shut up.

But he still looked embarrassed and worried: "It's ......"

Vishina continued: "Shut your mouth and look closely, there are miracles in this world. ”

"A miracle created by mortals."

Asitaya could only comply, and he looked at Nasus again, who looked like the queen, worried but more like expecting something.

Vichyna rested her hand on the table in front of her, the subtle vibrations on it made her palms itch and tingle slightly, and the giant beast was writhing its body, and the tremor could still be felt through hundreds of meters of high walls.

The queen's frown showed that she was still worried, and she urged Azir to quickly turn into an ascender, if the battle could be resolved as soon as possible, of course, his current mortal body would still be injured.

Not only Vishina, but Nasus also felt strange, why did Azir not change? He had thought that Azir would first ascend when he entered, but now it was almost ten minutes later, and even if he wanted to give the people the impression that he was in a desperate situation, he would be able to do so.

Azir on the field had been fighting with the black snake for ten minutes since he entered, and the breathtaking roar irritated his eardrums all the time, and the mucus on the black snake's body also made a pungent fishy smell fill the air here.

Even his current body was a little unbearable, and he had been taking advantage of the terrain to weave through the cracks in the rocks and labyrinthine buildings, dodging the Black Snake's attacks, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack back.

However, although Uru metal can cut through the scales of the black snake, its diameter is more than ten meters, and it is difficult to cause effective damage at all.

Eventually, Azir found an opportunity, and as the black snake lay on the ground, spitting out a letter and sniffing him, Azir climbed a high wall, then leaped forward, plunging two blades into his head.

The black snake shook its head frantically, trying to throw Azir down, but his body seemed to be nailed to the black snake's head, and he couldn't shake it no matter what.

There was a well-timed cheer from the audience, and they thought, "It's time to scatter the flowers next."

But something unexpected happened, the black snake twisted its body and hit the stone pillars around it, the collapse of the stone pillar stirred up a puff of smoke and dust, people were horrified to find that the shadow of the black snake was changing, its chest suddenly bulged forward, the sound of bones breaking, extreme pain and savage roar, the black snake actually grew two claws!

It used its claws to reach for Azir above its head, but it was too short to reach.

He could only tear his body angrily, and the scales connected to the flesh fell in large pieces, and the black and purple blood also smashed to the ground like a waterfall.

The smell of fish in the air was stronger, and some people in the audience began to vomit.

Then it lay on the ground and gasped violently, but it was not dying, the black snake spewed out a thick black blood mist from its mouth, and the blood mist was very fast, almost instantaneously enveloping its body.

This also includes Azir on top of its head.

……

Buried in darkness, Azir hears a bell, like the sound of a funeral that only people tell their friends and relatives when they die.

Someone died.

"I'm coming to pick you up, Azir."

A voice sounded in his ears, and Azir turned his head, and everything around him brightened up in an instant, and he was back on the golden avenue.

The road is wide and lined with magnificent golden statues of the ancestors of the Shurima Empire, all their eyes focused on Azir.

The golden disc floated on the Ascension Platform not far away, and he was waiting for someone to arrive.

"Zeroth?" Azir exclaimed as he looked at the young man in front of him who was about his own age.

He was back to the day of his Ascension ritual, but this time it was just him and Zeroth.

"I have never been far away, Azir, and when you came into this world, I followed you like a ghost."

He grinned, "And then wait for your failure again." ”
