Battle of Ascension - 411 Boroo in Action

Grand Knight Arthur could not believe what he was seeing. It was too much hard to believe when he saw the other guild’s representative being knocked down like this.

But then, he remembered the little girl Pristine mysterious smile and question at the entrance. “Uncle, you only bring 14 Grand Knight with you!?”

Based on the tone she spoke to him which was a clear distinct bias. It was clear that she was saying 14 Grand Knight and even included him the captain of Grand Knight was not enough.

Even before entering the arena, Arthur remembered Pristine’s clear and cheerful words echoed in his mind.

“Maybe if you bring the Eternal Knight with you, there’s a chance for your guild to win!”

Arthur thought Pristine was joking to him in order to praise her new guild. He thought it was an only boastful joke which he replied with a boastful joke as well. But it seemed Pristine was serious in her words, not joking at all.

Moreover, by bringing only Grand Knight, Arthur was clear the higher-ups taking this match as a friendly match with no intention whatsoever to win or took territory from Happy Guild.

However, it seemed the other side did not have the same thought like them. Happy Guild took this matter seriously.

Based on the first six matches earlier, when the core member of Happy Guild knocked the other guilds’ representative in one hit, Happy Guild would not go easy on them. It seemed the sixteen people on the seat were really the core member of Happy Guild.

When Arthur’s gaze landed on the Happy Guild seat, he could not help but compared Grand Protector and Eternal Knight with these 12 people, 2 skeletons, and 2 beastmen.

But then, Pristine’s words echoed in his mind once again.

“Maybe if you bring the Eternal Knight with you, there’s a chance for your guild to win!”

Pristine only mentioned Eternal Knight, but not Grand Protector.

“Does it mean Grand Protector is not Happy Guild core members match?”

Arthur came with an absurd thought and shook his head immediately. If Grand Protector, a knight with Legendary Grade Bloodline was not these people match, then…

Arthur did not dare to imagine it, nevertheless, he had to confirm Happy Guild’s strength. If Happy Guild was using this battle to showcase their strength, then the seven guilds would use this occasion to measure Happy Guild core members’ strength.

Now, it was Royal Knight’s turn to sent their Knight to challenge Happy Guild core members. Arthur took a deep breath and decided the knight that represented Royal Knight.

“Alan!” Arthur called a name and immediately a man in his mid-twenties came forward. “Go challenge that kangaroo beast!”

Arthur’s decision shocked the other Grand Knight by sending Alan to the arena. The same for Alan, he had unbelievable look on his face when he heard his captain’s order.

Before them, the six guilds sent their weakest men to challenged Happy Guild which resulted in disastrous defeat. However, Arthur immediate sent rank 5 of Grand Knight to the fight.

The other also recognized Alan and they were surprised a bit as well. The first representative they sent was to test the water. Even though the result shocked them, but it was still quite acceptable.

However, sending the rank 5 of Grand Knight pique the other guilds’ interest.

…

Alan did not understand what Arthur planned, but he obeyed nevertheless. He scanned the 12 people, 2 skeletons, and 2 beastmen at the Happy Guild’s seat. If Arthur did not ask him to challenge the kangaroo beast, he would like to challenge the man with a huge ax, Gusti.

But after receiving Arthur’s order, he had to cancel his intention by challenging Gusti. He knew Arthur had his own reason by ordering him to fight against the beastmen.

He took a deep breath and issued the challenge, “I want to challenge him!”

Alan pointed his finger toward the seat right below Randy. It was where Boroo sitting along with the Rougher, Kiddo, and Marlin.

The other six guilds looked at where Alan pointed to. They stunned when their gaze landed at where Alan pointed. He chose the beastmen as his opponent, but then the other six guilds realized why Alan chose the beastmen as his opponent.

Royal Knight wanted to win so badly. The other six guilds thought Royal Knight did not care about Happy Guild’s power possessed. They disdained such thought and looked down upon Royal Knight’s strategy.

As for why they were having this thought, it because they were thinking the two beastmen and two skeletons were the weakest among 16 Happy Guild core members.

Happy Guild managed to subdue the skeleton and beastmen as subordinate meant the skeleton and the beast were weaker than the twelve. They were sure about it, not only 6 guilds, but Arthur also had the same thought as the others.

However, Arthur did this not because he wanted to take the territory so badly. He just wanted to confirm something.

Boroo stood and bowed toward Randy before walking toward the arena. Meanwhile, as Boroo headed toward the arena, Pristine already at Royal Knight. She brought a contract scroll with her.

Arthur received the contract and signed it with his name. The fight had not started yet. As Arthur handed the contract scroll, he teased Pristine.

“Little girl, do you think your beast friend can win this fight?” Arthur asked as if he sure Alan would win the fight. He looked confident, but actually, he was probing how strong the beastmen from Pristine mouth.

Pristine did not even turn her head toward the arena. She received the contract scroll from Arthur and replied confidently, “I don’t know much about them. But I’m pretty sure at least Grand Protector is needed to make them go all out!”

Pristine wanted to say more, but then she shook her head. She was now Happy Guild member and she did not want to mess up with her guild leader’s plan.

She already knew what Happy Guild aimed to propose this event.

Pristine stored the contract scroll and headed back to Happy Guild seat. Arthur had a complex look as he looked at Pristine’s back. It was just he could not believe what Pristine said to him.

If what Pristine said was true, then even he could not defeat these 16 Happy Guild core members. But he just could not believe it. But the fight between Alan and kangaroo beastmen would prove what Pristine said was just a bluff or true.

Arthur looked at the arena, Alan and kangaroo beastmen were standing face to face with the gold armored guard as a referee.

…

Alan drew his sword out. Even though everyone believed the beastmen was the weakest amongst the 16 Happy Guild core members. He too had the same though, but he never underestimated his opponent.

Alan held the silver sword with his two hands as he scanned the kangaroo beastmen. The beastmen had a metal boxing glove covered his two fists as Boroo hopped to right and left.

Based on the kangaroo beastmen’s movement, Alan guessed the beastmen was a boxer. It surprised him a bit, he too was not a pushover.

The referee looked at Boroo first then looked at Alan before nodding his head.

“Start!”

Alan immediate dashed forward as Boroo was still hopping to the left and right on the spot. Alan dragged the silver sword toward Boroo. Alan’s speed was not slow, but it was not faster either.

Alan’s sword vibrated as invisible energy enveloped the sword, but Boroo noticed the invisible energy. Alan’s gaze became extremely sharp and he stopped his movement as he was ready to receive Alan’s attack.

“Hhaaa!!!” Alan let out a shout as he slashed his sword horizontally. Meanwhile, Boroo used an uppercut, he intended to receive the sword head-on.

Ping!

The metal glove and the silver sword collided. Alan was quite confident with his sword at first. But then, he was shocked as his sword bounced back. He felt there was a force that reflected his sword.

Alan however only shocked for a moment. Even though he was shocked, but he immediately responded with a horizontal slash. However, Boroo released out another uppercut, but what he aimed was the silver sword, not Alan.

Ping!

The force behind the uppercut could not be underestimated. Alan’s silver sword bounced up and Alan almost lost his grips at the swords.

Alan knew that his defense had been broken by that one uppercut. He instantly leaped back, but when he was prepared to make a defensive stance as he knew kangaroo beastmen would use this chance to launch a counterattack.

Alan looked up and what he saw was the kangaroo beastmen was right before his eyes. It was as he did not leap back just now. Yes, they were in the same position as before when he launched his attack at Boroo.

But he knew it was not the case. He had leaped back just now. As he was distracted, Boroo launched a jab at Alan’s belly.

“Ugh!” Alan let out a pained groan. The jab awakened Alan, but another lunch shot toward him.

Alan immediately used his sword to block the incoming metal glove. He held the sword’s handle with his right hand and the tip sword with his left.

Ping!

The force behind the punch forced Alan a meter back. Before Alan could correct his stance, another fist shot toward him. Alan had no chance to correct his stand.

Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping! Ping…

Even though Alan could not correct his stance, but somehow he managed to block Boroo’s fist after fist.

In the seventh assault, Boroo released a cross right at Alan’s chest and Alan could not block it.

Arghh!

Alan let out a pained cry, but he still gripped his silver sword tightly. He looked up, only to find Boroo was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, he noticed there a big shadow descended. Alan looked up and found Boroo descended right before him. Boroo’s feet landed right on the top of Alan’s feet.

“Grhhh!” Alan grunted in pain.

Boroo however with no mercy released a barrage of punch at Alan who was locked by him.

Bam! Bam! Bam…

Alan received punch after punch powerless. The silver sword had slipped out from his grip a long ago.

“Stop!” The referee stopped Boroo. Boroo also not an unreasonable beastmen. He stopped the attack immediately after the referee asked him to stop.

He lifted his feet from Alan’s feet and distanced himself from three meters away from Alan.

Alan’s body swayed for a while before collapsed immediately.

“Happy Guild win!”
