Chapter 46: I Can Beat Ten More!

The spear pierced through a Shielder’s neck through the cracks of his armor, and as the spear pierced him a ‘-723′ floated out of his head, and the Shielder in question turned into particles of light and floated out of the arena.

“Too weak! Next!” The shield knight swung the spear in his hand and shouted indignantly. It was already the fourteenth sacred soul he had killed.

In all fourteen battles, the number of sacred souls that could stand a minute under his flurry of attacks were only four, while none of those four could stand more than two minutes.

Through these fourteen battles, Kaermo had completely gotten a grasp over the average battle prowess of these sacred souls, and he found out that even if they were injured fatally they would be able to turn into light particles and float off the arena, giving him a win.

Other than that, even if he were attacked and his life-force were shaved off with that strange power of theirs, he was healed by a special energy from the old mage hat not only recovered his life energy, and even his mental fatigue.

This made him continue to attack without thinking of the consequences.

The battle style of the shield knight was focused on speed in the first place, and as large-ranged the players’ skills were, they were still normal people in the modern age under the skin of strong sacred souls, and so it was hard for their reflexes to follow up with the movements of the shield knight.

In contrast, the shield knight had been through countless grueling battles, and trained every single day to hone his skills in battle, at the same time strengthening his body with magical power.

His battle sense and reflexes couldn’t be overhauled by the players, even if they had strong abilities.

“Is no one going to challenge me?” The shield knight shouted, realizing no one was coming up to the stage anymore. The players that were spectating continued to increase, but no one heeded his calls.

No matter how much he shouted, the players seemed to not be able to hear him. In contrast, the shield knight heard the gripes and complaints of the players off the arena.

“I knew it! This NPC was really designed by the developers to scam us of our magical stones! You can’t even defeat this monster no matter how much you try!”

“Knock-up combos don’t work on him, and he can block and deflect every move we use against him, and he’s quick as hell too!”

“SilverBullet, wanna go gamble again? The prize pool has already increased to six thousand!”

One of SilverBullet’s friends nudged at him, goading him to battle again.

The magical stone prize in the pool would accumulate along with the players that added magical stones into it, and as soon as a player won against the shield knight they would be able to obtain a whole 6000 magical stones.

These 6000 magical stones were enough to redeem a whole set of Rainbow Unicorn skins, with more to spare in excess.

“Nah, or else I’m really going to go broke! Let’s go clear some dungeons.” SilverBullet was quite attracted by the prize, but he didn’t have the skill to win it, so he didn’t rush in without thought.

The players were all smart, and from the past fourteen battles they had all gotten a grasp over his strength the same way he had over theirs. Granted, they could probably defeat this shield knight if they fought him in groups, but it really required skill for them to beat him one-on-one.

The shield knight could somewhat hear what they were saying, but he couldn’t quite understand some particular words and jargon, so he thought they were just scared.

“Do you not have any stronger warriors?” Kaermon shouted even louder, but no one paid any attention to him.

“I’m going to complain about the developers on the forum, this NPC is crazy!”

“I’ve already uploaded my recording up to YouRabbit, you can use it as proof!”

“What’s the code to the video?”

“21452.”

Jiang Qiao listened in on the conversation, and immediately opened the YouRabbit video sharing site, which was one of the most popular sites of its kind in Hua Nation, and even the whole world.

According to the code that the players said, Jiang Qiao found a video entitled ‘This crazily strong NPC from the newest VR game Sacred Souls, can anyone beat him?’. The uploader’s ID was FrontlineReporter, and she was an extremely popular YouRabbiter with 1.23 million subscribers.

There were more than ten Sacred Souls related videos by her, and most of them were simple gameplay records of her own account. She started recording her gaming ever since she started the game, and she was already a Level 25 Assassin.

She was probably the second batch of players that entered Sacred Souls.
