453 Is that the real Sunless Ye? (1/2)

”This Field Marshal is the one none of you want to encounter—the Level Lord!”

Field Marshal Awesomo did not hide his arrogance. He loudly announced his identity and gave a rather long speech. The amount of information in his words was astonishingly ample.

It was Field Marshal Awesomo who was behind the reason why Shi Xiaobai and Speechless, who had for some baffling reason, been designated the Infernal King and Celestial King respectively?

The Hero King they thought was an imitat ion by the assessment program was actually real? She was the real Hero King that had transmigrated from three thousand years ago?

And the battle of the three kings as well as the machinations set forth by Field Marshal Awesomo was a scheme designed to kill the Hero King?

After an internecine outcome between Shi Xiaobai and the Hero King, they were completely wiped out by the Level Lord?

A series of shocking revelations stunned the trial-takers from the human world. They naturally would not easily believe Field Marshal Awesomo's words, but there was no way they could deny that all the information seemed to lead to such a conclusion.

If the Hero King was a real existence that had crossed the rivers of time, that would explain the feeling that she truly existed. If Field Marshal Awesomo was really the Level Lord, then as the ruler of this level, he indeed had the ability and authority to design such a scheme. Furthermore, he would indeed have the strength needed to completely wipe out Shi Xiaobai and the Hero King after their internecine outcome.

The disappearance of Shi Xiaobai and the Hero King also seemed to prove that Field Marshal Awesomo was not lying. That was because the proud duo would not spontaneously choose to use the exit command. And since they disappeared from this world, other than being wiped out, there was apparently no better explanation.

Shi Xiaobai and the Hero King were really...really dead just like that?

Everyone felt their bodies turn cold, as though they were stuck in a snowstorm.

And at that moment, the first person to act was Sunless.

At the moment Field Marshal Awesomo finished speaking, Sunless had already unsheathed her silver sword from her scabbard and rushed straight for Field Marshal Awesomo.

The usually calm her had a rare panicked look in her eyes, but her worry and anxiety did not affect her from making the most accurate judgment.

Whether Shi Xiaobai lived or not was already decided. No amount of panic and flustering could change it.

But if Shi Xiaobai was still alive, the fastest way to know about his situation or to save him from any danger he was in was to know the truth. The easiest and most direct way to doing so was naturally to—dig the truth out from the mastermind.

In summary, by defeating Field Marshal Awesomo as quickly as possible to force the truth out of him was what they needed to do the most.

Defeat him, even if he was the nightmare of trial-takers, the Level Lord!

Sunless's eyes were sharp and firm, as though she had decided on where her sword would point to.

”Not a bad choice.”

Field Marshal Awesomo responded with a sneer. He clearly did not expect that the ant-like trial-takers would respond so quickly with resistance. It was unknown if he should commend her for her courage or mock her for her recklessness.

The way Sunless ran was not like Shi Xiaobai or Dawn, who could propel themselves forward with a momentary burst of speed. The way she ran was rather steady. Although there were shadows from the movement of her feet, they looked especially solid. The wind that accompanied her movement looked like pixies were surrounding her. The way she ran with her body lying low was like a charging leopard. It was a stark contrast from her usual quiet state.

Suddenly, countless dots of amber light suffused from the ground and quickly gathered onto the sword in Sunless's hand. An amber halo enveloped the girl.

Sunless had directly activated the power of her Sword Truth. It was obvious that she was anxious to end the battle as fast as possible.

”Amber color?”

Pulp Farmer widened his eyes slightly as he muttered, ”Supra-advancement...Her obsession in the way of the sword is even more intense than before?”

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet were the seven colors of the rainbow. It was also the ranking of many strength-based systems. As almost all of the strength of most 'powers' would produce such colors, this observation was given the name 'Law of Rainbows' by the psionic theoreticians.

The colors of the power of Sword Truth also followed the 'Law of Rainbows', and the colors that were shown represented the degree of one's obsession in the way of the sword. It also demonstrated the standard of the power of the Sword Truth. In the seven colors, red was the weakest, and violet was the strongest.

But 'powers' were just stars. There were naturally colors of power than surpassed the colors of the rainbow. For example, Shi Xiaobai's golden Sword Truth was one.

Typically, other colors other than the rainbow colors were determined as powers that surpassed violet, but it was unknown how much it surpassed violet. Therefore, any colors outside of the rainbow spectrum were called 'supra-colors'. There was no clear systemic standards for supra-colors.

The power of Sword Truth did not belong to the system of 'strength', but it was a system of 'conversion'. Therefore, the color of the Sword Truth did not imply its strength, but the efficiency of the conversion. It influenced the conversion process of mental energies to strength. If red color meant converting 10% of mental energies to strength, then violet might mean a 30% conversion process. Although it would not influence the person's minimum or maximum strength, it was clear that a Sword Truth color of higher grade would have an absolute advantage in terms of efficiency.

However, it was very difficult to advance in the colors of Sword Truth as it was not an advancement in strength, but the enhancement of one's obsession. It was not something that could be enhanced through an accumulative process or training. Typically, it was very difficult for a swordsman to enhance the colour of their Sword Truth in their lifetime.

But Sunless's Sword Truth color had advanced. It was unknown when, but it had been enhanced to an amber color that was beyond the rainbow colors!
