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

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Jay screamed and stepped back, and the scripture fell to the ground.

Losing his control, the prison crumbled and the chains broke.

Jay himself knelt down on the spot, covering his genitals, his eyes bloodshot, wailing miserably, without any trace of composure.

Roy feigned helplessness: "Mr. Jay, what are you doing in front of so many people around the world? This will make your female fans very sad, right?"

Although he was unharmed, the burning pain below continued to burst out like being hit by a branding iron. Jay wailed and put on a mask of pain: "You...what did you do to me!?"

"Just a warning."

"From now on, if you have even the slightest lustful thought, that place will be in such pain as if it were on fire."

Roy himself is not so good at using soul power.

He knew clearly the effect of the [Light Cage]. He had deliberately been bound just now in order to lure Jay, who couldn't control himself, to launch a soul attack.

This way, Phoenix has the opportunity to touch his soul directly.

Chapter 74: Facing Reality

Jay is more cunning than Oloya and even more afraid of death than Oloya. In the original work, he surrendered immediately after being defeated, fearing any physical pain.

A life-and-death duel is one thing, but if Roy really abuses Jay in front of millions of viewers in the East and West Continents, it will not only affect Alice's reputation, but may even cause the church to step in and stop it directly.

But this guy has targeted Alice again and again, how could Roy let him get away with it?

Even from an objective point of view, Roy had no psychological burden and even felt that he had done a good thing.

If it weren't for the church's protection, the crimes Jay admitted to would be enough to send him to the stake.

The physical pain can be reduced, but the pain of the soul cannot be avoided.

At Roy's suggestion, Phoenix had already planted the imprint deep in his soul.

From now on, if Jay had even the slightest evil thought, he would suffer burning pain down there. This kind of soul-destroying damage was invisible to the naked eye, yet indelible.

Roy showed an extremely gentle smile: "Don't worry, even if you cut that thing off, it will still hurt."

“You, you bastard…!”

Jay knelt trembling, his features twisted to the extreme with resentment and pain. But no matter how he used the Holy Light to heal, the pain didn't ease at all.

This kind of torture is far more cruel than physical pain, because the pain of the body will eventually adapt over time, or the patient will faint from the pain, but the pain of the soul comes from within.

"No, no, Roy, I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought that about Alice! I surrender! Please untie this! Untie this!!!"

It no longer mattered whether he looked good or not. Jay, the "Playboy of Flowers," rolled on the ground in pain, screaming and begging.

But Roy jumped past him without even looking at him again.

The Phoenix's brand was caused by evil thoughts.

If Jay truly repents, the burning punishment will naturally stop temporarily.

Even now, Jay was still fantasizing about how to take revenge, which caused him to suffer continuous pain.

However, Roy requested this mechanism because he knew what kind of person Jay was.

Roy turned to face Visalia and said calmly, "Now, who should face reality?"

Vesalia stood up. Her top-tier armor, forged from mithril, was etched with terrifying sword marks, from which snow water faintly seeped. With the disappearance of the [Cage of Light], her extraordinary aura also noticeably declined.

Now facing Roy again, her hand holding the gun was shaking slightly.

"Although I heard that your bloodline is not simply [Iron Blood], I didn't expect you to be so strong..."

"Damn it! Visalia, what are you talking about? Kill him now! Kill him with your blood!" Jay cried hoarsely.

That’s right, Visalia can use bloodline enlightenment.

In the original work, Jon Snow and Vesalia are the only two characters who can use this trick.

Every candidate for the Saint has powerful bloodline and outstanding talent, but Visalia has an extra layer of perseverance than Oloya and Jay, which comes from countless trials and tribulations on the battlefield, as well as a touch of luck, which allows her to bring the essence of her bloodline to the extreme.

Bloodline enlightenment is the most mysterious ability of the extraordinary people. It cannot even be learned through the experience of predecessors. Even Roy has not yet grasped the mystery.

But even so...

"Roy, with my awakened bloodline, I'm strong enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a Sequence 5. Can you withstand it?"

"More than enough."

Visalia was stunned, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Damn it, he's bluffing you!"

Roy nonchalantly made a sword flower: "If you don't believe me, you can try it, just like you did just now."

"...Please enlighten me."

Visalia sighed deeply, threw down her shield, raised her spear, and her aura surged. A pure white knight with a spear in hand faintly appeared behind her.

As an extraordinary person, who doesn’t have some pride?

Even though she had a vague premonition, Visalia was still unwilling to admit defeat and planned to use her strongest attack to decide the outcome with Roy.

Go and witness where the limits of the young man in front of you are.

Roy's expression was slightly cold, yet serene.

"I can take it, but this is a trial, not a competition. I have no obligation to spar with you."

Visalia was startled for a moment, then circulated her blood at the fastest speed to condense a phantom.

But Roy didn't give her any chance to condense her energy successfully. In the blink of an eye, he released a tremendous pressure, and when she froze in her tracks, he threw a sword high into the air above Visalia's head.

Teleporting into the air, dozens of swords, spears, and halberds made of mithril appeared beside Roy.

【Projection Sword Forging】

Although this move cannot be combined with the ability of the [False King], weapons made of Mithril are not inferior to the Dragon Fang Blade.

The cold light surged and the blade flashed.

Roy slashed out a red sword light, which fell along with the surrounding swords, spears, swords and halberds.

Swords flashed and red thunder fell.

Without time to activate the essence of her bloodline, Visalia could only strike with all her might.

The mithril shattered, blood splattered, and the figures of the two people intertwined with each other.

There was a small scar on the black-haired boy's cheek.

He shook off the blood on the blade and praised briskly, "Well done."

"You are the first person to hurt me in this trial."

"...It's my great honor."

She had to bitterly admit that it was never Roy who should face reality.

The spear fell.

The armor, which had been pierced by several swords, spears, and halberds, and cut from top to bottom, finally couldn't bear the weight and broke into pieces with a sharp cracking sound.

The blood-soaked [War Sister] fell.

Simon narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man who was holding the sword and obviously had some strength left for a long time before finally turning around to face everyone.

"[Flower Prince] Jay voluntarily surrendered, [War Sister] Vesalia was defeated, and the remaining candidates are only the last two."

Such a scene almost immediately ignited the resentment and anger of the people of the East Continent.

However, no matter how fanatical they were, witnessing Roy's overwhelming victory with their own eyes forced them to realize how amazing the opponent's strength was.

"What on earth has tricked [Young Master Baihua] into? Why is he suddenly crying and surrendering?!"

"Even when Lady Visalia and Lady Jay joined forces, they were no match for us. How is that possible?!"

"No, my brother Jay can't lose. That man must have used some devilish tricks!"

"If Sister [War] could use her bloodline to awaken her, she might have a chance of winning. This bastard just got lucky again!"

Although they refused to admit it, the flames of restlessness were already spreading across the Eastern Continent, burning their unwavering faith.

Inside the White Harbor Church, the high-ranking church officials of the East Continent looked even uglier.

"Even if that guard is incredibly powerful, what good does it do? In the end, the winner will still be determined by the Saint Candidate!"

"That Alice hasn't made any moves so far. I think she's just a vase that allows others to protect her!"

"Ah, yes, yes, your Excellency is right."

Roy's three consecutive victories speak louder than any eloquence.

No matter how the East Continent's leaders tried to make excuses or criticize, the priests and nuns of White Harbor just smiled and nodded repeatedly, showing no disdain or need to fight back.

"As expected of me, you are my knight. You are nothing to be afraid of as a mere candidate for Saint!" Charlotte raised the corners of her mouth proudly.

Nia had already been waving her fists and cheering.

At this moment, Lyanna sighed slightly, her eyes cold.

"Don't be too happy too soon. The hard ones are still to come."

"The Sword Saint's direct disciple and the Son of Light are both tough guys."

Chapter 75: Sword Saint's Personal Instruction

"See? Even if your candidates join forces, they're still no match for that kid."

Theresa said calmly, but she was secretly shocked.

Roy not only won, but also won quite easily, with some room to spare.

Although [False Kings] are rare, Theresa has seen dozens of them over the centuries.

The only person who could have used the "False King" to this extent, apart from that girl from eighteen years ago, was probably...

Thinking of this, Theresa's expression darkened.

The [Sword Saint] Leo also had mixed feelings.

Black hair and black pupils, the shadow of an old friend.

It was a bond that could not be severed even by swordsmanship that had been cultivated for hundreds of years.

"That kid is really good."

"Oh? Are you finally going to give up?" Theresa glanced at Leo in surprise.

Leo shook his head: "But he may not win."

Simon interjected, "Let's not even talk about the two Saint candidates. Just the battle between the two guards alone is unpredictable."

Simon, who had always maintained the title of Holy Light and seemed not to care about the results of the Saint Trial, now showed a strong interest in Roy.

Theresa was a little puzzled and said sarcastically, "No matter the outcome, isn't it all the guidance of the Holy Light?"

"That being said, I'm simply curious and want to see which is more powerful, the Blood of the False King or the Holy Light Sword Intent."

He was personally recognized by the Pope and was awarded the Holy Sword by the Sword Master.

Thinking of the genius from the East Continent, Theresa's brows twitched slightly.

To be honest, the battle between the maid who changed her career halfway and the number one genius of the East Continent, Arya and Sang, does not look optimistic at all.

Not to mention whether Roy could defeat Levi, even if Alice was injured in the melee, it would put her at a great disadvantage in the final decisive battle.

After all, the Saint Guards cannot accompany the candidates into the sacrificial hall.

In the secret realm.

Visalia slumped on the ground, took off her helmet, revealing her fairly pretty face, but one full of bitterness.

"I couldn't even use my trump card. I feel so ashamed of myself..."

Roy sheathed his sword and said calmly, "If this were a duel, I wouldn't mind taking your blow. But unfortunately, I'm in a hurry now."

"Regardless of the power or the enemy, you haven't used your bloodline enlightenment skillfully enough. If your opponent is on guard, there's a good chance they'll interrupt you. Do your best."
