I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

At that very moment, Veronica looked down from the VIP seats in the arena. Today, she too was clad in heavy armor.

Captain Glenn Macugaia, clad in paladin armor, remained constantly by her side. The other six guards were discreetly positioned in a circle around Veronica.

The stands were already packed with students from the academy and citizens of Ansari. After all, the competition between students from the Ansari Dragon Riding Academy and the dragon riders of the Knights Order was sure to attract these people.

In this situation, if we were to name the person in the most dangerous environment, it would undoubtedly be Veronica in the VIP seat.

Her actions have made her countless enemies, which is probably why Ge Lian and the others did not relax their vigilance even in such a grand setting.

The match started quickly, and Gill watched the cricket game with great interest, while Kevin provided commentary.

However, this is just the prelude.

Or perhaps, this is just an appetizer before the main course.

The most anticipated thing...

Jill glanced at Kevin. "I still suggest you give up the fight. You're in no condition to fight properly. I could take you down with one hand right now."

In Jill's perception, the aura emanating from Kevin was like a candle about to go out, flickering on and off, each flicker burning with its remaining power.

"Hey! What do you mean? Anyway, during this period of weakness..." Kevin grabbed a handful of popcorn and protested.

“This is a curse, isn’t it?” Jill raised an eyebrow and said directly, “Otherwise, I can’t think of any reason why you could directly enter a periodic state of weakness. Your strength can indeed recover, but the recovery time is getting shorter and shorter, right? What is the curse? Why don’t you let Chenxi help you remove the curse?”

Kevin chewed on his popcorn without saying a word.

"Well... in short... this is my own business, it's none of your concern." Kevin put down the popcorn bucket and said, "The reasons are complicated, very complicated, hmm."

“…If you need any help, just let me know. We’ll be heading back to the Little Garden soon, and I don’t want to be a burden.” Jill turned and looked down. “It’s about to begin.”

"Today, two students from the Ansarib Dragon Riding Academy will challenge the Loreya Mon Holy Dragon Knights!"

After the dragon cricket match ended, Veronica stood up and announced the matter.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into complete silence.

Jill raised an eyebrow and looked at Kevin.

Kevin nodded, and Jill could only continue looking down.

"The term 'challenge' almost places both sides on equal footing."

Gil stroked his chin and said, "But if Sylvia performs well, I believe even the dragon knights of that knightly order shouldn't be a match for her..."

"Don't underestimate the Holy Dragon Knights. You should know that there aren't many people on this continent who dare to look down on this knightly order."

Despite saying this, Kevin's expression remained relaxed.

As the most renowned and strongest knightly order, the Loreiamon Holy Dragon Knights are composed entirely of the nation's top elites and represent the nation's most formidable military force.

The Kingdom of Loreiamon is merely a small country, far inferior to large nations like the Kingdom of Sheplon and the Empire of Sephalos.

However, even so, no power on the continent of Aluksterland would underestimate the Kingdom of Loreiamon.

Not only because the Kingdom of Loreiamon is a dragon-breeding nation, protected by dragons and possessing formidable power, but also because of the Loreiamon Holy Dragon Knights.

The power of the dragons is beyond the reach of humankind in this world, and the Kingdom of Loreiamon is the only nation on the continent capable of forming a pact with the dragons.

Under such circumstances, a knightly order that gathers the most elite Holy Dragon Knights and Dragon Knights, even if it cannot run rampant in the continent of Aluksterland, will absolutely not fear any power.

For example, the great war between the Kingdom of Sheplon and the Empire of Sephalos fifty years ago was only possible because of the participation of the Knight Kingdom of Loreiamon.

Otherwise, facing the Sephalos Empire, which had advanced mechanical engineering and even developed firearms, the Kingdom of Sheplon would have essentially perished.

It was precisely because of the intervention of the Kingdom of Loreiamon that the course of the war shifted in a direction favorable to the Kingdom of Sheplon.

Kevin was well aware of this, which is why he said those words.

but……

"You seem to have forgotten how many treasures related to [dragon slaying] are in my treasury?"

Jill raised an eyebrow. "Instead of talking about this, let's watch the battle that's about to begin. After all, I've taught Sylvia a trump card to win."

Chapter 131 Taking the Holy Heavenly Dragon Knight as an opponent!

Sylvia entered the arena quickly, and her opponent was a dragon knight leading a crimson holy dragon.

Kevin raised an eyebrow. "Oh, that's interesting. That guy seems to be a pretty powerful dragon knight..."

“If Sylvia can’t win, I won’t acknowledge having such a disciple.” Jill sat down, yawned, and casually took a handful of popcorn from Kevin’s popcorn bucket and popped it into her mouth.

"...That's mine..."

What's yours is mine.

"Tsk, really..."

……

After a short while, and after the two sides exchanged names, the battle began.

Jill was quite interested in the fight, and to Kevin's astonishment, she watched the entire battle unfold.

During the battle, Sylvia was brought to the brink of death several times by the opponent's powerful offensive, but she skillfully turned the danger into safety, making everyone hold their breath for her.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Sylvia almost forgot the high-speed movement technique that Jill had taught her, which was the reason for several incidents. Jill frowned deeply at these incidents. If Sylvia hadn't been in the middle of a competition and couldn't afford to be distracted, Jill would have pointed her finger at her and given her a good scolding.

However, in the end, Sylvia probably got into the zone and didn't make any mistakes. Instead, she seized the opportunity and used the compound magic that Gil taught Lancelot to defeat the dragon knight in one blow!

That compound magic was actually Arthur's specialty. Moreover, because dragons and humans use "magic" in very different ways, Gil only imprinted the feeling of the magic flow when Arthur used magic into Lancelot's mind through mental resonance, thus allowing Lancelot to also learn this compound magic.

Because another condition for learning this move is that Sylvia needs to be able to control Lancelot, Jill spent the whole day yesterday teaching Sylvia how to use it, and the results were quite reliable.

At least when Silvia defeated her opponent, the cheers and applause that erupted throughout the stadium truly showed Gil that Silvia had put in the effort.

“…Hmph.” Jill chuckled softly. “Well done.”

"Indeed, to find such an opportunity to launch such a final blow, if it were on the battlefield, the opponent would already be dead."

“Your turn next.” Jill glanced at Kevin. “Are you alright? You’re still in a weakened state, aren’t you?”

“That’s true, but don’t underestimate me.” Kevin smiled, two more pistols now strapped to his belt.

Jill glanced at the two pistols. "Whatever. If you can't hold on, just give up."

"Hmm... this magical reaction... interesting. It actually has similar magical power to mine now, with 80% of my magic power suppressed." Gilles looked up at the sky as if sensing something. "By the way, you don't have a dragon. Is it alright for you to go on stage like this?"

"No problem, I won't lose." After Kevin finished speaking, purple patterns suddenly spread across his body and then disappeared.

He pushed off with his right foot, and cracks instantly spread across the stones beneath his feet; he had already jumped down.

“…I’m still sitting here…” Jill shook her head helplessly, then stood up and moved to another seat.

……

After Kevin landed, gasps of surprise rang out from the VIP seats and the audience.

Because the person in front of us didn't bring the Holy Dragon, but came to the arena alone?

Veronica's eyes flickered; she wasn't quite sure just how strong her teacher was.

However, she found him an absolutely powerful person of sufficient stature.

“Teacher…can you defeat that person…? Let me see,” Veronica murmured to herself.

At that moment, a deafening roar, like thunder, descended from the sky above the arena like a storm, causing the air in the entire arena to tremble!

Kevin narrowed his eyes and gave a wry smile.

I have a feeling we've gone too far?

Veronica has chosen a formidable opponent for herself.

The audience seemed a little flustered by the huge roar, and Kevin also saw his opponent.

"Whoosh-!"

Like a shooting star, a dragon hurtled from the other side of the sky, its sharp, ear-piercing whistling sound echoing as it flew towards the arena.

"Boom!"

The dragon, flying at extremely high speed, showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it accelerated once more and then, like a meteorite, crashed heavily into the center of the arena, right in front of Kevin.

Beneath Kevin's feet, purple Honkai energy flickered continuously, isolating him from the sandstorm, and he stared intently at the holy dragon in front of him.

That was an incredibly enormous holy dragon!

In terms of size alone, even Guflin is inferior!

Unlike Guflin, this holy dragon exuded an aura that was far stronger than Guflin's!

Kevin also sensed a magic emanating from this dragon that was similar to that of "Jill in the present day".

On the head of the holy dragon stood a young girl.

The girl possessed an astonishing beauty that made one want to call her a saint. Her long, waterfall-like hair flowed in the wind, and her clear, lake-like eyes sparkled like stars.

The golden armor she wore, as brilliant as stardust, seemed to emanate a magical aura that was clearly transmitted into Kevin's senses.

Without a doubt, that was the Holy Knight Armor that the Holy Dragon offered to the girl!

This clearly shows that the girl is definitely a Holy Dragon Knight! In the entire Holy Dragon Knight Order of the Kingdom of Loreiamon, there are less than 10% Holy Dragon Knights!

The girl looked up and surveyed the entire arena. The stunningly beautiful girl fixed her gaze on the VIP seats of the arena, a calm expression on her face.

The next second, a clear, spirited, and beautiful voice reached the ears of everyone present.

"I'm not late, am I?"

After a moment of silence, the entire arena erupted in a frenzied cheer.

This display of power made Jill raise an eyebrow slightly.

It's really unexpected.

The cheers were like... how should I put it, like fans seeing their idol, or believers seeing their god.

Gil looked at the girl in front of him. "If I remember correctly, she should be the captain of the Holy Dragon Knights."

"Her name is Eusula L. Salvin... her title seems to be... the Silent Knight Saintess..."

Chapter 132 I'll unleash all my current strength and have a truly satisfying duel with you.
