Uncle here isn't your average office worker!

"Blood, boil!"

The blood mist that enveloped the arena suddenly stopped drifting and, as if summoned, settled towards the ground. A few seconds later, a pool of blood slowly rippled out beneath Dicaipolis's feet.

From within the pool of blood, a second, a third, and a fourth blood knight rose up.

Roy opened his mouth, a strong sense of déjà vu washing over him.

"Holy crap, how come you're a Great Khan too?"

Volume 1: Chapter 105 Come on, witness the highest level of match-fixing!

Question: If someone is stronger than you in terms of physical fitness, combat skills, and magical talent, and you have no choice but to fight them, what should you do?

This was the situation that Dikeopolis faced, and his answer was simple: if one of me can't win, then send more of me into battle!

The famous rookie instructor Dubin once said that one Beagle cannot defeat Skyfire, but what if a hundred Beagles come at you together? Even Skyfire would be overwhelmed!

Although this statement has been repeatedly refuted by the ever-expanding combat power that can move mountains and fill seas, and even powerful figures like the Ursus Inner Guards have become common units of measurement for combat power in Terra, it cannot be denied that in direct confrontations below the level of "Inner Guard," Dobermann's theory still holds true most of the time.

Blood Knight's vision is not necessarily higher than that of Doberman, who once served in the army. Therefore, he chose the most brutal fighting style. If one of me can't kill you, what about a group of me? Humans have limits. Even if your strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, can you withstand the siege of three, five, or even ten of me?

This idea isn't necessarily wrong. From Roy's perspective, he couldn't afford such a drain in the past. Even with the Great Wilderness Meteor Shower, it's a once-a-week ultimate skill unless there are special circumstances. Even if he could instantly wipe out the Blood Knight clones on the field, there's no guarantee that the Blood Knights wouldn't be able to use some kind of magic to power themselves with their blood and stand up again, just like in the game.

However, the problem is that the Blood Knight's intelligence is still missing a link.

He's already a Deepsea Hunter and has acquired Seachild citizenship. Even Titi, the official version, acknowledges that he possesses the "sense of the ocean tides"!

From this perspective, let alone the Blood Knight, even if Mon3tr were to compete with him in endurance, the old woman's tiny cup of milk would be completely drained by him.

The dizziness caused by excessive blood loss was eroding De Caiopolis's sanity; his vision blurred and cleared intermittently, forcing him to launch an immediate attack. He failed to notice the admiring glance Roy cast his way. With a roar that was already somewhat hollow beneath the surface, he raised his battle axe and charged straight at Roy without any fancy moves. At the same time, the four faceless "Blood Knight Puppets" standing beside him drew their weapons—sharp crimson twin blades attacked from the left, slashing at his vulnerable left ribs; heavy crimson hammers slammed down, creating a muffled thud in the air; crimson longbows were drawn to their full length, arrows formed of blood gleaming like the fangs of a viper; and long, crimson halberds swept across with an unstoppable, overwhelming force.

The five-fold attack originated from five different weapons and attacked in five different directions. Roy only had two hands, so how could he defend against such an attack from all sides?

Victory is beckoning me!

A low growl roared from the Blood Knight's already hoarse throat, and he hadn't made a single move until the attack reached Roy's body.

Blood Knight felt much more at ease. That made sense. Even if Roy could withstand this wave, as long as his blood wasn't completely drained, his clones would continue to launch attacks. Rather than dragging the game into a long stalemate, it was better to give up the fight from the start.

Are we going to win? But why does something still feel off?

What are Roy's strengths?

The lack of blood flow had made his brain somewhat stiff and unable to function. But Roy in front of him gave him the answer.

He possesses a spell that allows him to release massive amounts of energy instantly; this is one of his trump cards, and I still haven't figured out what his "distance" technique is.

Energy cannot be created out of thin air. Even though Dikeopolis hadn't received professional magical instruction like the Candle Knight, he understood this most basic principle. Casting such spells always comes at a price.

“Stella!”

The call of the Knight of Eternity and the sudden flash of white light before his eyes provided the answer to his question.

Since blood is also your weapon, then the illusion-breaking spell attached to [Stella!] will naturally be effective against those created blood golems.

"boom!"

Five loud bangs followed in succession, and the explosions sent plumes of smoke and dust billowing up!

Mob looked around the dust-covered arena with suspicion and uncertainty:

"My God! The instant the Blood Knight's spell made contact with the Eternal Knight, a massive explosion occurred on the field! Was this a magical bomb attack launched by the Blood Knight? Or was it a countermeasure by the Eternal Knight against the deadly five-hit combo?!"

"Cough cough!"

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the Blood Knight, who had barely managed to stand up from the ground at the edge of the smoke and dust, endured the intense tinnitus and headache and looked incredulously towards the center of the arena, in Roy's direction.

Using the enemy's magic as material for one's own spells, and turning their own magic against them, one can unleash an explosion even more powerful than the original. How could there be such unreasonable magic on this land?

Blood Knights have never heard of this before!

However, with such a close-range five-fold explosion, it was impossible for Roy to emerge unscathed!

As the smoke cleared, just as the Blood Knight had predicted, Roy, though not fallen, had his arms, which had been in contact with the blood golem, torn and bloodied, clearly severely injured. And as for himself…

He turned to look behind him. Apart from the one bow-wielding blood golem that escaped without engaging in close combat, the other three golems had vanished into thin air. Only the enormous crater in the arena spoke of just how astonishing what had just happened.

But regardless, the objective was achieved. Roy was injured, and on their side, only a puppet remained!

Two against one, I have the advantage!

Swallowing the blood in his mouth, the Blood Knight stood up again.

We can't afford to delay any longer; we must defeat Roy before he recovers!

On the other side, Roy looked down at his arm, which had almost fully healed and was about to regrow skin and return to normal, and couldn't help but sigh.

This time, we really can't delay any longer.

If this goes on any longer, the injury will heal completely. Whether he wins or loses the game is another matter, but his terrifying self-healing ability might attract unwanted attention.

Moreover, to be honest, the game has already exceeded Roy's expectations at this stage.

The Blood Knight is a formidable opponent, possessing an unwavering will to never admit defeat and a fearless courage to sacrifice himself—qualities often lacking in modern knights. Even if he were a battle knight rather than a competitive one, with his strength, achieving great things would be only a matter of time. Moreover, for the Commercial Federation, he is far easier to manipulate than they are; all they need to do is agree to his conditions and protect the infected in Plot 0. With such a champion, neither the Commercial Federation nor the Supervisory Council can voice any objections.

Since that's the case, let's use this last trick to put an end to this shooting star, then disappear from the world openly and honestly, and go back to live our own little lives!

"Dicaipolis, you are very strong."

Having made up his mind, Roy spoke formally, taking his bow and arrows from behind him.

"It is my honor to compete against you, Roy the Knight!"

The Blood Knight answered solemnly.

"Well then, it's time to put an end to this match. How about we settle it with one last move?"

"Roy suggested. The Blood Knight nodded solemnly."

"Then, I come from the stars, bringing the brilliance of a meteor..." The bow was drawn, and the arrow, a collector's item of the Kiss of the Kheshig, shone brightly as the incantation was sung.

【Stella!】 (Following the Great Wilderness Starfall!)

Come on, witness the ultimate level of match-fixing: I'll blow myself up!

Volume 1: Chapter 106 The Legendary Pegasus That Ignited the Second Sun

A dazzling white light shot out from the bow, leaving a trail of light in the sky. Even the moon and stars paled in comparison. At this moment, the Blood Knight was powerless to interrupt this final attack.

The optimal solution given by the Candle Knight against Roy, the original plan to absolutely prevent Roy from using the Great Wilderness Starfall to decide the outcome, was completely forgotten at this moment.

There was no precedent for defending against the Great Wilderness Starfall, but Dikeopolis was a warrior, and even if the odds were slim, he would never be afraid!

He was now completely exhausted, but he dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest, because at this moment, it was the final move that would determine the outcome.

"Come on, just block this one, and you'll win, Dikeopolis! Just block this one!"

He took a deep breath, forcing his boiling blood to cool down. The excruciating pain from the acute attack of Oripathy had made his face contorted like a demon, but beneath that terrifying expression, his clear pupils held a calm as still as the calm before a storm. He knew very well that this moment of restraint was for an even more extreme outburst in the next instant.

[I don't have enough blood left to unleash another clone attack. If I can retrieve the last clone and risk everything, maybe I can block this final blow.]

A quick decision was made in his mind, and the power of his will successfully transcended the constraints of his body. Facing Roy, who had already taken to the air, De Caiopolis did not choose to intercept him. Instead, he took advantage of this last moment of preparation, turned around, and plunged his hand into the chest of the Blood Puppet behind him.

The faceless blood puppet seemed to sense the resolute determination from its original body, and instantly exploded into countless blood droplets, which flowed into the arm of Decaeopolis.

"call--!"

Like a thirsty person finally replenishing their water supply, the Blood Knight felt as if his body had returned to its peak in an instant. He didn't care whether this was an illusion caused by overexertion or a final burst of energy before death, but simply turned around quickly, raised his head, and looked up at the sky, his arms swirling with a scarlet aura.

"What is the Blood Knight doing? He's gathering magic in his hands, and he's not stopping the Eternal Knight from taking off! Is the Blood Knight trying to take the Eternal Knight's Great Desolate Starfall head-on?!"

Mob the Big Mouth was practically pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window of the commentary booth, his roars rising higher and higher until his voice was almost hoarse, but he still didn't stop, exclaiming in genuine amazement...

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the debut of the Eternal Knights, up to this final match, no Grand Knight has ever successfully withstood their signature move head-on. Now, the match has reached the decisive stage, and the Blood Knight actually wants to end this match by directly confronting Meteorite. Is he crazy, or does the number one seed really have such confidence? Well then, let's wait and see!"

"rise!"

With a roar from the Blood Knight, three walls of blood suddenly rose from the arena ground, which had already turned into a pool of blood. The flowing blood walls were like roaring waves, rising from the ground and sweeping towards the sky in the next moment.

This was his all-out attack.

He can no longer control his blood as flexibly as before. He can only release all his power, even his own life, at once, summoning this simple yet unprecedentedly overwhelming wave of blood.

If Roy's celestial star was the most direct shock to the visual senses, then at this moment, the giant wave of the Blood Knight Dikeopolis was the most direct impact on a person's soul.

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood—there may not be mountains of corpses, but seas of blood are by no means an exaggeration!

Seeing such an unimaginable attack, even Roy couldn't help but let out an uncultured exclamation: "Holy crap!"

However, at that moment, a series of crisp notification sounds broke through the deafening cheers of the audience and the Blood Knight's desperate roar, reaching Roy's ears.

Leap towards the waves, kill the sea! Leap towards the waves, kill the sea! Leap towards the waves, kill the sea!

[The special growth module – The Last Knight – has met the activation requirements.]

Listen to me, this is the last knight, this is his horse, ride it, and now, slay the sea!

"Rosinant?"

Before Roy could react after reaching the peak, he suddenly felt his feet lighten. The next moment, amidst the rosy light brought by the Great Wilderness Starfall, a wingless celestial horse appeared in mid-air and gently carried Roy on its back.

"what is that?!"

The drone, which was already prepared to record the entire process of Roy's Great Wilderness Meteor Spell, immediately pointed its camera at Roy. Although the strong light prevented the drone from clearly capturing Roy's face shrouded in light, at this moment, "Pegasus," which seemed to appear out of thin air and was plated with a layer of golden armor by the light, had already entered everyone's field of vision.
