#439 - Chapter 428 Clearing the Scene
Beastly roars echoed incessantly as formidable tamed beasts, like bloodthirsty assassins, searched for targets amidst the ruins.
"This is insane! How can there be so many tamed beasts?"
Several contestants who had been secretly observing, hoping to profit as the third party, fled frantically, abandoning any thought of fighting back.
Even the Dark Shadow Shield Thorn couldn't withstand a single exchange, let alone them.
Escape was the only option.
However, the number of tamed beasts was simply too great; they were everywhere. No sooner had they fled a short distance than some were overtaken.
Then, flashes of light erupted as magic intertwined and collided, and battles broke out everywhere.
The flames of war spread, and the entire battlefield descended into chaos.
"We can't let this continue, or everyone will die!"
"Only by killing Number 666 can we end this hunt."
Those qualified to participate in the life-or-death arena were no weaklings; they were experienced fighters. They instantly recognized that the only way to survive this crisis was to eliminate Jiang Han.
"Kill!"
"Don't run, or we'll all die!"
They roared and howled, charging towards Jiang Han.
Although the number of tamed beasts was astonishing, there were still many contestants. By uniting, they might be able to tear a gap in the encirclement and find a glimmer of hope.
At least, that's what they believed.
"Naive."
Faced with the sudden alliance of other contestants, Jiang Han remained unfazed. He gently beckoned.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
More tamed beasts leaped from the air, their numbers now ten times greater than those of the other contestants.
"This…"
Seeing this, the other contestants turned ashen. If the previous number had offered a sliver of hope, the current number meant only one thing.
Certain death.
Rumbling!
碎石纷飞，兽群如同流星坠落，一拥而上。(Broken stones flew as the beast swarm fell like shooting stars, swarming forward.)
[Ding! You have killed contestant number 782, gaining 108 points.]
[Ding! You have killed contestant number 634, gaining 206 points.]
[Ding! You have killed contestant number 555, gaining 106 points.]
[Ding… ]
A series of notifications rang out, and Jiang Han's score skyrocketed, his ranking rising to first place at an unimaginable speed.
"He's already in first place? This ruined area will probably be the fastest to produce a final winner in history, right? And… there's likely to be only one!"
"Too strong, this kind of strength is simply terrifying. These tamed beasts must number at least four digits, right? Although the individuals aren't too strong, when combined, no one can stop them!"
"More importantly, these tamed beasts are already this strong at level 90? Even a level 100 transcendent is probably only at this level… No wonder his attributes reached the scarlet level."
"I think the choice for this year's first place has already been made."
"…"
Outside, watching the scenes unfolding in the ruins, everyone was stunned and terrified.
Never had anyone like Number 666 slaughtered so wantonly in the second stage. This wasn't competition; it was simply slaughtering pigs!
I'm afraid that in a while, the entire area will be slaughtered clean.
"I think… you can report to the King."
A man in silver armor took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone.
Even he felt his scalp tingling at the sight before him.
"Yes."
The Nine-Star Archmage nodded, then turned and hurried towards the palace, not daring to delay.
With his insight, how could he not see that the winner of this year had already been determined?
Neither the young assassin nor Leicester would be a match for Number 666.
No wonder he had double-scarlet attributes; Number 666's strength was definitely well-deserved.
Moreover…
His fighting style was too unique.
Even the King would definitely be interested.
"Thousands of tamed beasts, how should we handle this?"
After the Nine-Star Archmage left, the man in silver armor continued to stare intently at the virtual screen before him.
He was wondering if it was truly possible to break the situation when facing such a scenario.
At this moment, even he, as one of the Twelve Guardians of the Royal Court, felt uncertain.
"Perhaps, after today, the Royal Court will have another guardian?"
The man in silver armor narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
Although he couldn't be sure if this was Jiang Han's true strength, at least, ordinary God-level experts would find it difficult to put up a fight against Number 666.
[Ding! You have killed… ]
In the ruins.
Notifications continued to ring out. Under the siege of so many tamed beasts, even the allied contestants could not resist and continued to die.
Of course, there were also contestants with excellent escape abilities and many tricks, but they dared not stay in the ruins no matter what, running as far as they could.
[Ding! Only one contestant remains in the ruined area; the assessment is officially over.]
Finally, with a crisp notification, the second stage of the test came to an end.
And on the leaderboard, there was only one name.
