Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

The warhammer descended from the sky, pounding the ground with a deafening roar that echoed throughout the first training ground.

Mary didn't aim deliberately; this move is inherently difficult to hit a single target head-on in actual combat, and its purpose is to cover the enemy from all directions.

The next second, flames surged like a tidal wave, sweeping across the grass within a radius of tens of meters. The fire element has always been known for its powerful and aggressive nature, and the level nine soul spirit's full coverage of the battlefield had an extraordinary effect.

Nolan gritted his teeth, and crimson flames coalesced into a shield, which he used to shield himself from the fire behind his greatsword. Had he been a step later, he would have been engulfed in flames.

Even so, Nolan was still unable to escape the inferno; the tips of his hair and the edges of his clothes were scorched.

“Mary is quite serious. The Mad Sparrow is His Majesty the King’s signature martial art.”

Yero frowned and muttered to herself.

Princess Golden Flower, whose soul spirit was not even level ten, was already able to simulate high-level martial arts techniques. Although she had only learned the basics, they were still quite powerful.

When the raging flames subsided, there was no intact land left around, which also consumed a lot of Mary's strength.

156. As simple as breathing.

"what!"

After catching her breath, Mary swung her warhammer and charged again, not intending to let Nolan rest for even a second.

The strong and fierce princess charged in once again with fiery footsteps, demonstrating excellent control over the rhythm of the battle.

The higher the level of the soul, the greater the difference in strength, and the more overwhelming the opponent's attack and defense become.

If it's a battle between high-level classes of level 10 or above, unless the difference in the quality of their magical equipment and martial arts is too great, there is simply no comparison.

Although her crimson form amazed the audience and blocked Mary's special move, not many people were optimistic about the Little Witch, since the initiative was entirely in the opponent's hands.

Unless she uses the strange power she had at the freshman ball again...

Nolan took a deep breath, patted the flames off his body, and also noticed Mary's rough fighting style.

By overwhelming the enemy with wave after wave of powerful attacks, using the strongest offense as a form of defense, the characteristics of the fire element can be maximized.

There is only one way to break this vicious cycle!

Nolan dragged his greatsword and ran quickly, trying to avoid a direct confrontation.

"You can't run away!"

Mary roared and her bull-like, ferocious charge changed direction several times.

Just then, Nolan suddenly stopped, swerved a bit, and narrowly escaped the blazing flames.

In the instant Mary was stunned, Nolan gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands and slashed back heavily, creating a violent storm!

The extremely common Wind-Breath Cross Sword, amidst the surge of blood and soul energy, cleaved through the fiery aura defense and deflected the heavy warhammer.

Mary staggered backward, still trying to regroup, when the Blood-Haired Witch's heavy sword thrust came right after her.

click!

Mary gritted her teeth and raised her left hand, forced to parry the blade of the black steel greatsword with her arm guard. The impact made her arm ache. She hastily retaliated with her right hand, raising her warhammer, and lost her composure.

In just that short time, she had already lost the initiative to launch a strong attack.

Nolan did not back down, letting the mace pound on his body, shattering the shield formed by the blood and flames, while his greatsword continued to slash forward!

Flame Blade, Wind Walk, Earth Strike—the most basic, low-level martial arts techniques were frequently unleashed, all released with crimson blood and soul energy.

The results were mediocre, but Mary was overwhelmed with tasks.

boom!

The clang of metal echoed across the first training ground, and Nolan's calm decision earned the approval of the martial arts instructors.

Only a fierce and relentless attack can retaliate against the invading fire; even an Earth Soul Warrior cannot withstand the depletion of his soul spirit through mere defense.

Who would have thought that a clumsy greatsword could also launch a close-range attack in a nimble way, clashing head-on with a warhammer at a dangerous distance?

Many students were amazed. Their initial curiosity gradually faded, and they began to focus on every clash of fire and blood, learning from the duel between the two powerful individuals.

The area around the first training ground gradually quieted down, with no more idle chatter, teasing, or pointing fingers; only the strong whistling of air currents and the piercing clashing of sounds could be heard.

Messiah and Zenora clenched their little fists, silently cheering for Nolan.

Compared to their first expedition, this charming little knight is far stronger.

“Strange, has Nolan not learned any advanced martial arts techniques? Duke of Destruction’s ‘Great Swarm’ and ‘Soaring Sky’ are both unforgettable self-created martial arts techniques.”

Isabella was somewhat puzzled.

Princess Mary was certainly not short of money to arm herself, and every time she used a move, she employed expensive, high-level techniques.

Logically speaking, the Qiao family shouldn't be so poor that they only know military combat and general skills, right?

Locke Ryan smiled and bluntly stated, "Haven't you noticed that Invincible Teacher has never used any advanced martial arts techniques?"

The girls shook their heads with wry smiles, agreeing.

What kind of teacher produces what kind of students?

[The End] The Saint never used any martial arts techniques other than runes; he either threw or stabbed, unlike a knight at all.

Another gasp came from the stands as Nolan seized the opportunity, using his greatsword to block Mary's warhammer and slipping into the range of the flame defense.

The scarlet-clad girl grinned, exuding extreme allure.

"The waters of revival accompany me as I wander!"

"Uh!"

Mary felt a sudden panic, and then she saw the little witch free her left hand and point it at her face, a ball of red light slowly gathering in her palm!

A streak of red blood ran down Mary's cheek, leaving a faint red mark and a drop of blood.

Damn it, she really is practicing secret arts just like all the knights, and it's even an offensive one!

The surrounding audience suddenly realized that the little witch was actually a blood knight.

Mary felt a chill in her vest, and her body tensed up even more. If she hadn't twisted her neck, there would have been another hole in her heavily made-up face.

"it's a pity."

Nolan rubbed his fingers together, and the Water Spirit Secret Technique, operating in a scarlet manner, transformed into a torrent of blood.

"Rapid currents... How is this possible?"

Although it's a low-level water elemental secret technique, it still possesses the strength of an eighth-level soul spirit!

Lockrean was utterly shocked. As the only apprentice in the world with a colorless soul and all attributes of magic, he knew better than anyone the difficulty of simultaneously mastering martial arts and secret arts.

It's like disrupting the familiar elements inherent in the body, distributing and rearranging them in an instant, guiding the soul to chant and release.

Therefore, a well-trained knight must first master the switching of elements before stepping onto the battlefield, otherwise there will be no time to change stances when facing the enemy.

Switching between martial arts and secret techniques means constantly disrupting the arrangement of elements, which is beyond the mental strength and wisdom of ordinary people. If one accidentally remembers the wrong order, it can even cause the soul to collapse.

But Nolan is not human; combining elements is as simple as breathing for the beautiful goddess king.

All things were born from chaos, and Asteria can do everything except control the elemental spirits!

It's no exaggeration to say that if Nolan could kill the Seven Luminaries Goddess and seize her divinity and mark, he could become the new Goddess of the Elements.

Just as Mary was about to counterattack, she was once again suppressed by the unpredictable blood-haired witch. In addition to her nimble greatsword, countless tricky secret techniques were hindering her attack.

Light Strike Projectile... Explosion Spell...

Blood filled the battlefield, and the blood spirits sometimes burst into bright light and sometimes exploded into flames. They would leap and bound like thunderbolts, entangled Mary's ankles, and forced her to be wildly whipped around by the Wind Breath Cross Sword, gradually putting her at a disadvantage.

The Blood Knight skillfully blends secret arts and martial arts, and despite having only experienced one novice expedition, he fights like a seasoned knight.

"Raging fire, heed my command!"

With each incantation Nolan uttered, the cold sweat on the faces of the instructors and students present increased.

The Crimson Form seems to be able to mimic any kind of spirit, unleashing all elemental secret techniques and martial arts, and is not countered by any attribute.

However, Alicia only mastered all martial arts techniques back then and did not know any secret arts.

Nolan now... is a dual-wielding knight!

Mary's shield of fire is crumbling, and defeat is inevitable.

This is still the case of low-level secret techniques. If one were to master high-level martial arts and secret techniques, how powerful would the Blood Knight become?

157. A good tool is one that accepts the consequences of its bet.

Snapped!

Ding ding!

The ear-piercing roar of the first training field still echoed fiercely, and the grass that the school staff had just finished tending was now riddled with holes.

This intense duel lasted for more than ten minutes without a clear winner. Both sides exchanged powerful attacks without stopping for even a second.

The surrounding students didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid of missing something.

The warhammer and the greatsword clashed once more, the two girls bounced apart, and the relentless onslaught finally ceased.

Nolan and Mary's hands were trembling, and they were panting heavily as they warily watched each other, their physical strength and spirit about to be exhausted.

The dashing silver-haired girl was drenched in sweat, her light armor clinging tightly to her beautiful curves, now bearing several dents and scratches compared to when it was first applied.

The continuous high temperatures also turned fair faces and skin dark, as if they had been pulled out of a coal mine.

Princess Golden Flower, who was breathing heavily opposite her, was in no better shape. Her legs were trembling and she could barely stand. The initial contempt on her face had turned into admiration, and she was now fully prepared. There was no sign of relaxation in her expression.

Nolan's soul was at a disadvantage after graduation, making it difficult for him to break through the defenses of the level nine blazing flames. Mary's arms and legs were often covered in small wounds, but the sheer number of them caused her considerable trouble.

In comparison, it is clear that Mary was caught out more often, but these mistakes were covered up by the superior spirit's defense.

The same low-level martial arts technique can have completely different effects in the hands of different people. The Blood Secret Technique, which is not well coordinated, makes the Little Witch's attacks impossible to defend against.

In a duel between equals, these flaws would be fatal...

Mary shook her head, stopping her wild thoughts. She rubbed her aching hands and gripped the hammer tightly, focusing on the formidable opponent before her, a worthy opponent to fight.
