As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

After dodging Roy's sword, Andy could stab him back with more than a dozen swords in the blink of an eye!

Roy's [Shadow Ornament] had a certain degree of self-repair ability, but under Andy's continuous attacks, it became increasingly broken and miserable.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now?! Why don't you fight back!"

Mocking the silent swordsman, Andy sneered and slashed again.

Forget about fighting back, this guy doesn't even have the strength to talk back.

The only thing that made him feel difficult was that the opponent's defense was so amazing. Under the black robe, it was difficult for him to see the opponent's true condition.

But his movements had indeed slowed down. After enduring hundreds of blows, he must have finally given up, right?

"It's almost time to finish!"

Andy stepped back slightly, then bent his waist and made a posture like a cheetah hunting.

Unlike [Afterimage Step], this time, the dark supernatural power covered his limbs and even his double blades.

This is Andy's strongest attack, [Black Claw], [Shadow Blade]!

The blade, condensed with extraordinary energy, is incredibly fast, capable of unleashing a sharpness that surpasses the weapon's inherent material! Simultaneously incorporating the properties of [Afterimage Step], it's incredibly ghostly, impossible to penetrate!

The Sequence 6 noble had died in despair at this blow.

"Captain, finish him off!"

As the thieves shouted, Andy instantly passed through the darkness, turned into black lightning, and came roaring!

Roy cut off the figure in front of him with a sword, but unexpectedly it was just an afterimage!

The cold light in the darkness had already slashed towards him from the side!

Andy aimed at Roy's neck, intending to kill him with one blow!

Got it!

At this moment, the [Sword Ghost] didn't even have time to retract his sword, and his neck would be cut off by himself!

However, at this moment, the corners of Andy's mouth, which were about to curl up, suddenly froze.

Not only the corners of his mouth, but also his feet, hands, and even his eyeballs seemed to be shackled by something and could no longer move.

The shadows covering his limbs were essentially supernatural powers, and naturally dissipated as his body solidified.

Astonished, he saw a captivating golden glow beneath Roy's shadowed face!

At that moment, Andy, who was unable to move, had his heart pounding wildly, and an instinctive fear arose as if he was staring at a giant beast in the abyss!

"Finally caught you." Roy smiled coldly.

He certainly couldn't catch up to Black Claw Andy's speed, but there was no need to compete with him in speed.

[Iron Bones] combined with [Evil Dragon Blood Armor] were enough for him to withstand Andy's blows thousands of times. Only the blow just now, which was the result of Andy's full strength, could possibly cause some damage.

But for me, just one hit with the sword would be enough to decide the outcome.

Luo's movements were neither hurried nor slow, but at this moment Andy could only watch him grab his arm.

The overwhelming pressure was fleeting, and Andy, who had regained his freedom of movement, realized that he had been hooked and broke out in a cold sweat.

He tried frantically to pull his arm free, but he felt the other person's hand was as unshakable as an iron clamp. Then he stabbed the other person several times with his dagger, but it felt like he was attacking a rock-solid wall, and the tip of the knife was shattered in a few strokes.

"You're right, it's almost time to end it."

Roy raised his sword calmly.

In an instant, the sword blade condensed a blood energy that was as hot as fire and as explosive as thunder!

Andy's eyes widened as he also mobilized the [Afterimage Blade] and slashed towards Roy.

"Don't even think about it...!"

The strongest thief's attack was ghostly and ethereal, as fast as lightning, but how could it shake the thundering edge honed in blood and fire?!

Under the night sky, red and black surged and intertwined, but the winner was decided in an instant.

The sword fell, like a sudden thunder, and the scarlet sword light was like an erupting volcanic torrent, easily swallowing up the tiny ghostly blade and Andy's figure!

The terrifying sword energy was like a wild beast that had broken free from its reins. It easily passed through Andy's body and fell towards the thieves behind him, slaughtering countless panicked thieves in succession until it fell into the jungle and cut down a giant tree before finally disappearing completely.

Roy slowly loosened his grip.

Andy covered his chest, staggered back a few steps, spitting blood, and seemed to want to say something in fear and unwillingness.

But before the legendary thief could leave any last words, his entire body slid diagonally from top to bottom like butter being cut by a hot knife.

Under the night sky, only the swordsman wearing a blood-stained black robe and holding a scarlet sword, standing on the corpse of the thief like a fierce ghost!

Both friend and foe were deeply shocked by this scene, and the entire castle ruins fell into deathly silence.

Until a slightly off-key cry echoed.

"We won! As expected of Master Sword Demon!"

The girl's crisp cheer reminded the adventurers that the Sword Ghost was not an evil ghost, but one of their own, and they all cheered along.

The thieves never thought that Black Claw would lose, and they all looked pale and dejected.

Roy glanced at them.

Seeing the blood-stained evil ghost looking at them, the thieves were scared out of their wits.

The so-called thieves are nothing more than robbers, thieves, assassins and other thieves who steal and do not have any sense of loyalty.

Revenge? If this guy doesn't run away, he'll be buried with the leader.

!

The thieves had no intention of resisting at all, and turned around and ran away like birds and beasts.

"Damn it! You're running away after getting the advantage?!"

The adventurers were not willing to let these guys go, so they rushed out of the ruins and chased them and beat them up.

Roy had no interest in killing the thieves, and protecting Nia was enough for him.

Moreover, [Qi and Blood Condensation] consumed a lot of his blood and energy, so this battle was not easy for him.

But just as he was about to drag his tired feet back to the ruins, he felt an ominous aura coming from behind him.

Like a fallen member of the [Evil Dragon Society], it was ominous, gloomy, and exuded a foul stench of corruption.

The source was Andy's body.

Roy turned around suddenly and saw a fruit with a hideous face floating on Andy's body.

It oozed yellow-green, rancid mucus, sending a scornful warning to Roy.

"Mortal, you took something that did not belong to you."

Then he looked at Andy's body.

"Put it to good use, you piece of shit."

The fruit grew vines like blood vessels, with thorns like Andy's corpse, and quickly shriveled up.

Andy, who had been cut in half, trembled violently, and suddenly burst out with a strong breath fluctuation, emitting a yellow-green light!

"Run!"

Anyone with a brain could tell that there was something wrong with that thing, so both thieves and adventurers quickly retreated away from the threat of the fruit.

Could this thing be a human bomb?!

Roy cursed inwardly and retreated hurriedly, but at this moment his pupils shrank.

There was another figure who did not have time to evacuate the range of the explosion.

That was Nia staggering in place.

A strange yellow-green light burst out and gushed out. At this critical moment, Roy rushed towards Nia regardless of everything and held her tightly in his arms.

Chapter 78 Nia's Enlightenment

Nia really wants to curse now.

She was seriously injured and could not run fast. Seeing that [Black Claw] Andy was about to blow up the corpse, she had no time to hide back in the ruins.

He won, but in the end he was killed by a corpse. Isn't that too tragic?!

But just when Nia was extremely anxious, she saw the Sword Ghost suddenly pounce on her and then hold her tightly in his arms.

They came to save her, so it wasn't very polite to say that. However, the elves' instinctive aversion to contact with the opposite sex made Nia very uncomfortable.

That's how it should be.

But this inexplicably familiar posture reminded him of another figure, and he subconsciously gave up struggling.

A strange yellow-green light exploded, engulfing everything around it with corrupt power. The ground was burned, the city walls were blown away, and many thieves who did not have time to escape were swept into it and turned into dry bones.

This was not a simple explosion, but a power from a cult. The flesh that was touched by the yellow-green light aged and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was extremely terrifying.

Nia heard countless wails and terrible roars.

However, the figure of [Sword Ghost] was like an unshakable wall, like the most reassuring safe haven, blocking everything out.

After a long time, the raging storm finally subsided, and Nia finally looked up at the other party.

"Are you okay?" Roy unconsciously lowered his voice.

The blood-stained robe and the face covered in shadows should have been a bit scary, but instead, the figure made Nia feel inexplicably at ease.

"I'm fine. Compared to me, Master Sword Demon..."

"Don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself."

Roy let go of the girl in his arms and turned away without any regrets.

Looking at the receding figure of [Sword Ghost], Nia felt a sense of melancholy, but at this moment, she found that there was something left in her arms.

She wanted to call out to the other person and return the item, but when she saw what was in her hand, her eyes widened in shock.

That was the [Obsidian Shield] that had been disconnected.

That was the gift that should have belonged to Roy.

At this moment, in the girl's eyes, the figure of [Sword Ghost] has overlapped with the boy with black hair.

It turned out that he had been protecting himself all along.

Nia finally understood why her heart was throbbing. For a moment, her admiration and respect for the Sword Demon and her tender feelings for the black-haired boy mixed together, becoming entangled and finally turning into unstoppable sweetness that flooded her chest.

A faint light welled up in her emerald green eyes. Looking at the boy's receding back, Nia pressed her chest, her throbbing heart unable to calm down for a long time.

The adventurers used the ruins of the ancient castle as shelter, and although they were frightened, they suffered no further losses.

On the contrary, the bandit group was like this. First, [Black Claw] died in battle, and then [Black Claw]'s body exploded, which suffered a huge blow in both morale and physical terms.

The remaining thieves were completely powerless to resist, and without Roy having to make any further moves, the adventurers came forward and chopped off their heads one after another.

After a thrilling night, Roy returned to the team at dawn.

He used the excuse of helping Sword Ghost to clear out the remaining enemies in the north, and did not arouse the suspicion of Red and others.

At this point, the practical test was completely over and everyone set out on their return journey.

At dusk the next day, they finally returned to the Adventurer's Guild.

Other teams have also returned.

In some teams, students and adventurers parted ways almost as soon as they returned, while in other teams, the relationship between the two was as harmonious as that of family and friends.

In the former case, the student will naturally not get a high score if he offends the examiner, and the adventurer will be in trouble with the nobles in the future if he offends the young master or young lady, and both sides will suffer.

The latter is a mutual admiration, a win-win situation. While the students get high scores, the adventurers also connect with these young talents and gain valuable connections.

Some teams even cooperated very well and achieved considerable success.

Most of these teams are from the second-year seniors. They have already partnered with adventurers in the first year, so it is natural that they can achieve twice the result with half the effort by cooperating with each other.

One team even killed a Sequence 7 vampire bird, alarming the entire guild.

Unfortunately, tonight, the protagonist of the Adventurer's Guild is undoubtedly Roy's team.

"You killed [Black Claw] Andy?!"
