Wizard Immortal

Chapter 342 Claudius

"This is···"

In the center of the vast, spacious arena, Adir stared blankly at the extra few points of boundary energy on his body for a moment before realizing, "Could it be such a coincidence?"

Before he could think any further, the prince from Guno charged at him again.

Having stood for so long and been suppressed by Adir, Prince Guno was also exhausted. He was panting and drenched in sweat as he ran.

However, during this process, his combat skills continued to improve at a rate that surprised even Adir.

Perhaps because few people had been able to suppress him like this in the past, Prince Guno appeared very excited at this moment. Even though he was exhausted, he still rushed over without any regard for the potential danger.

This utter fearlessness left Adir speechless, and a thought popped into his head: "Never mind, let's beat them up first!"

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Without further hesitation, he stepped forward and slashed down with his sword.

A silver longsword sliced ​​through the air, its pale silver battle aura surging within, its imposing presence causing Prince Guno's pupils to shrink.

Compared to the previous battles, the power of this strike was significantly greater, leaving Prince Guno, the Grand Knight, with no time to react as he watched the longsword descend.

bump!!

Under his gaze, a silver longsword pierced through the air and struck his greatsword directly, producing a loud clang of metal clashing.

A powerful force came from his chest, and in an instant, he was suppressed, his entire figure retreating backward.

Before he could recover, a figure appeared in front of him again, accompanied by a sharp gust of sword wind.

Roar! !

A deep roar echoed from the spot.

Seeing the longsword coming at him, Prince Guno roared and, like a battle maniac, completely disregarded the huge gap between them and slashed forward with his sword.

The two longswords clashed again, and then one figure was sent flying.

"It seems that was the right decision."

Standing there, looking at Prince Guno lying on the ground in the distance, and at the world energy growing on his body again, Adir finally realized something.

The Prince Guno before me, who looks like a battle maniac, likely possesses a large amount of world power. Even if he is not the chosen one, he should be a second-tier being.

"What's your name?"

As Prince Guno struggled to his feet after falling to the ground, he heard a voice coming from in front of him.

Despite his exhaustion, he struggled to lift his head and saw Adir standing right in front of him.

However, compared to before, Adir was now smiling, and his eyes showed a clear appreciation and approval as he looked at him.

This was something he had never experienced before, which stunned him for a moment before he reacted and replied seriously, "Claudius."

"That's my name."

"Claudius..." Standing in front of Claudius, Adir murmured the name before smiling and looking at him with approval in his eyes: "You're very good."

"Why do you want to challenge me?" he asked, looking at the other person.

"If you don't challenge me now, would you fight me elsewhere?" Claudius raised his head, his expression disdainful. "Given my status, the princess behind you wouldn't allow you to accept the challenge."

Hearing this, Adir nodded slightly, and then said, "Let's end it here this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Claudius quickly stood up, as if he wanted to say something.

However, before he could say anything, Adir continued to speak in front of him.

"But you can come see me anytime you have time in the future."

He looked at Cladis in front of him with a calm expression, but his eyes held a hint of appreciation: "You have great talent, it shouldn't be wasted like this."

During the battle, Adir discovered that although the Prince Guno before him was of noble status, his actual situation might not be as good as others thought.

The other person's talent is beyond doubt. To reach this level at this age is to be considered a genius anywhere.

However, in the battle just now, the other side also exposed many problems. Although some knights had solid basic skills, they also made many basic mistakes. Even the knightly secret techniques they used were very simple in Adir's eyes, and were completely unbecoming of the other side's prince status.

Based on these findings, and considering that the other party was sent to the Maran Empire and even participated in this competition, it seems that Prince Kradis of the Guno Empire may not be highly regarded.

Various thoughts echoed in his mind, but in front of him, Adir's expression remained as calm as ever. After glancing at Kradis, he turned and left directly.

Behind him, Kradis stared blankly at Adir's back, thinking about what the other had said earlier, and suddenly felt a strange emotion.

"Finally, someone acknowledges me?" He stood up, looking at the greatsword in his hand, feeling a mix of emotions, including excitement.

"What did you just say?" A voice rang in her ear as soon as she returned to Alina's side.

Looking at Adir in front of her, Alina asked.

"I chatted with the kid for a bit," Adir shook his head. "I told him to come find me after the match."

"This child has good talent; he shouldn't let it go to waste." He said calmly, seemingly admiring Cladis.

"If it's not necessary, it's best not to get too entangled with him." Hearing Adir's words, Alina frowned subconsciously: "This Prince Guno's identity is a bit troublesome. If it's not necessary, try to minimize contact."

She looked at Adir and explained, telling him what she had learned over this period of time.

Just as Adir had expected, this Prince Guno did not hold a high position in the Guno royal family, and his status was rather awkward.

He is indeed a descendant of the Gounod, but he is not the son of the current Gounod king, but rather the child of the previous Gounod king.

This generation of King Guno is actually Kradis's uncle.

The Guno Empire is warlike and prone to rebellions. More than a decade ago, the current Guno king suddenly launched a rebellion, overthrowing and killing his elder brother, the previous Guno king, and thus becoming the new ruler of the Guno Empire.

However, this naturally made Cladis's position quite awkward.

He is indeed a descendant of the Guno royal family, and his talent is indeed quite good. However, as the child of the previous generation of kings, his position in the current Guno royal court is very awkward. It is already good that he has survived to this day, so naturally he cannot be treated well.

His arrival in the Maran Empire this time was entirely due to being sent there as a hostage.

This is hardly a good job. Although the Guno Empire is powerful, its relationship with other surrounding countries is not good. There are many nobles and knights in the Maran Empire who are hostile to the Guno Empire.

It's easy to imagine how these people would react to Kradis, a prince from the Ancient Empire.

Although Kradis is nominally the youngest son of King Guno, he is actually the child of the previous King Guno. It is clear that if something happens to him, the current King Guno is unlikely to stand up for him and may very well remain indifferent.

"It's certainly a tough start." Adir's expression was somewhat strange as he listened to Alina's account. "But in that case, I'm starting to think that this person is definitely a chosen one."

"With such a difficult and arduous background, how could an ordinary person, if not the protagonist, have survived this long?"

He thought this to himself, but on the surface he shook his head, appearing as if he were feeling sorry for the Prince of Guno.

Seeing his expression, Alina shook her head: "You're a celebrity now, so it's best to avoid contact with this prince unless absolutely necessary, or you'll cause unnecessary trouble."

"I understand." Adir nodded slightly, revealing no thoughts.

"Oh right, the finals are in a little over two weeks, remember to be careful." Sitting there, Alina suddenly added, seemingly remembering something.

"Is the opponent very strong?" Adir asked, somewhat puzzled, after hearing Alina's words.

"Very strong." Alina nodded. "The man sent by Solar, known to the military as the Arrogant Knight, Kannado."

"Three years ago, he had already condensed his battle aura wings, but Solal suppressed them, which is why he didn't publicize them."

"So, Your Highness, you want to show off your muscles this time?" Adir frowned.

"Most likely." Speaking of this, Alina also felt a little helpless: "The first thing they did was send out a titled knight who had condensed wings of battle aura. That's the power of Solar."

"He has the support of the entire military, and he has many knights under his command, including more than one or two titled knights."

"What should I do?" Adir asked in return.

"It's simple," Alina said. "Fight him in the finals, and then lose."

"If he wants to show off his muscles, let him." She added with a sneer, "The more impressive he is, the more likely he is to arouse suspicion in some people."

As she spoke, her gaze drifted toward the palace, a certain glint in her eyes.

"Adir, I know that with your strength, you might not lose to this Cannado if you fight with all your might."

Seemingly considering Adir's feelings, she comforted him, saying, "Exposing your strength at this juncture will only cause concern for Anglie and Loris, and will not benefit us at all."

"Don't worry, although the reward for second place is much less than that for first place, it still includes a territory and a title."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll ask my mother's old friends to arrange a good location for you, one that might not be worse than the first place."

"I understand." After a moment of silence, Adir spoke, his expression remaining relatively calm.
