Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

"A night without light buries the dawn!"

Lily gripped her staff tightly and called out loudly. More tangible clones emerged from the mist, surrounding Agatha. Countless black hands rose from the ground, attempting to restrict the warhorse's high-speed movement.

The unicorn ran joyfully, its hooves crushing the black hand. Agatha's spear swung, creating hundreds of points of light that swept away the dark clones, seemingly unaffected by gravity, displaying formidable power.

The black mist exploded and then reformed into the shape of a sorcerer, emitting low-level arcane spells that had no effect on the armor.

"Is this all there is to the Leather bloodline?!"

The seemingly intense ground battle did not elicit cheers from the audience. Everyone's amazed gaze followed the black-winged angel, because Lily's true form was not even within the gravity field. She had successfully restrained her opponent solely through the array she had set up earlier.

Agatha, however, remained oblivious, still lost in her dream of thwarting her opponent's plot, waiting for Yuri's power to be completely exhausted.

The black-winged angel stood on the periphery of the dark light, quietly observing its opponent. Its entire soul rapidly gathered, emitting dark demonic light, and it slowly chanted a world-destroying incantation, its target being the entire gravity field.

Massive destruction spells have a long channeling time and rarely have the opportunity to be cast in a one-on-one duel, but everything Lily did was for this one minute.

"It's time to end this pointless charade!"

As the fog deepened, Agatha gradually realized something was wrong. She frowned and scolded, commanding the unicorn to forcefully flap its wings and take off. However, the gravitational field suddenly contracted, the pressure increased exponentially, and four black walls formed a barrier to seal it off!

It was too late; the gravity detonation had already been completed, and Instructor Rhine's face was grim.

Spellcasters are extremely fragile, but correspondingly, the Magic Department is always the most lethal class.

"How is that possible? When!"

The unicorn collapsed, slamming heavily to the ground. Agatha finally showed a look of horror, clutching her chest and falling to the ground, screaming in pain.

In less than five seconds, the flashing of the Beacon of Life signaled the elimination of the Unicorn Knight, while the Sorcerer emerged victorious unscathed.

"Wonderful!"

The Rhine City crowd was impressed by the Blackwing Angels; their previous matches had mostly been reckless, and this was the first time they had seen them win in such a pleasing way.

Skadi's smile widened, and she puffed out her chest, showing off her beautiful cleavage. Now it was time to see how Eva and Yero would perform!

Compared to the first two group stages, the battles in Group C were somewhat monotonous, with all matches being one-sided.

"I'm sure everyone has been waiting for this for a long time. The Group D matches are about to begin. Players, please take your positions!"

Messiah's high-pitched voice invigorated the remaining warriors in the rest room, igniting their spirits. Only Eva's expression was not good; the Unbeatable Fist had lost its strongest weapon.

When it was time for the death group to compete, the audience and mentors were clearly more alert. In the past, the sparring between the Holy Domain warriors would only take place after the semi-finals. No one expected that the first day of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament would be so exciting.

"Without the mark of the God of War, how will the Invincible Fist face the followers of the Barbarian God? Let's wait and see!"

The Starry Night Diva has no kind attitude towards her enemies and would love for Eva to make a fool of herself on a global broadcast, just like Dalton.

The moment the half-dragon girl appeared, she caught the attention of all the men in the room, who kept whistling. Her thin armor could not hide her stunning figure, and she was still as cool and sexy as ever, with her healthy wheat-colored skin being particularly charming.

The opponent of the Undefeated Fist was an orc boy from Saxon Academy. He was wearing a hooded hood and shorts and was unarmed. The young master of the White Wolf was also lightly armed, with a bronze head and an iron tail. His claws and fangs were Casey's strongest weapons.

"I've heard your laws are said to be invincible in one-on-one combat, so don't disappoint me!"

The boy gritted his teeth, his gaze defiant, and jumped into the portal first.

Eva remained unusually silent, as if she hadn't heard anything, it was unclear whether she was worried about the temple or about herself.

"Invincible?"

The girl gave a self-deprecating laugh, glanced at the Libra platform, and realized it was indeed invincible. Because of that man, she was now homeless.

The Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament should have been her most important stage, but compared to the devastating news, the outcome of the competition no longer seems to matter. What should this homeless girl do?

Having lost his faith, the Undefeated Fist, his eyes filled with confusion, stepped aimlessly into the battlefield.

An endless plain came into view, which should be the favorite battlefield for the two straightforward players, with nowhere to hide.

The duel between the two saints ignited the atmosphere outside the arena, and the competition of the death group had begun!

684. The Song of Tears and Blood

Group D matches were high-energy from start to finish, with intense clashes between top teams, and the fierce battles on the plains were just the beginning.

"Awoo!"

Casey roared to the sky, tore off her clothes, and her beastly blood boiled as she entered a berserk state. Her body instantly swelled into a ferocious demon beast, and the white demon wolf rushed forward like lightning.

The demon wolf possessed the blessing of the wind and was incredibly fast; Cang Sujian and Aiwa only had time to cross their fists in defense.

boom!

The souls of the sacred realm clashed, the air churned, and dust filled the sky.

The Undefeated Fist was knocked over by the giant wolf, the immense force sending him flying a hundred meters away. He looked disheveled, with the scales on his arms slightly rolled back, indicating that he was seriously injured.

But the half-dragon girl merely wiped away the blood, her eyes vacant and her mind elsewhere, infuriating Skadi who yelled in frustration. How could she possibly advance to the semifinals in such a state?

"Oh dear, the atmosphere is already quite tense right from the start. It's a pity that the Temple of War is not what it used to be."

Serani's laughter was annoying as she teased Lin and Gana. Saint Lenza's good luck seemed to have run out, and the believers, without the protection of God, had lost their fighting spirit.

The giant wolf roared forward, filled with unwavering determination. With Casey so close at hand, its sharp claws and fangs ready to tear through the dragon's scales at any moment, Eva's mind was filled with nothing but question marks.

The claim of being invincible is a lie, the claim of being glorious and immortal is a lie, and even the chief mentor succumbed to the tyranny of chaos.

If faith is such a humble thing, how can it give her invincible power, and where should she place her undefeated belief?

What do mortals fight for?

"No!"

Eva clenched her fists, got up again, her nameless rage turning into battle intent. Towering black flames formed the pleated skirt of the war maid, and a sharp array of blades surrounded her delicate body.

The beliefs she carried were by no means those of a despicable plaything, nor were they the deceitful apostles who fooled the world, nor was Anuba, who betrayed his believers, the spokesperson of the god of war.

"Hmm? Cheer up, it's not too late yet."

The bald Principal Denton dozed off, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the first fierce battle in Group D. The Aries Star Envoy bit his lip and asked in surprise, "She is... an Obsidian Dragon?"

Julia, the vicious dragon knight commander, looked visibly unwell. The other half of Eva's bloodline seemed to be quite pure, and her chilling aura was remarkably similar to that of the Dragon King.

Eva parted her red lips slightly, exhaled a scorching breath, and her slightly brown skin was gradually covered with crystal scales. Thorns sprouted from her shoulder blades, and she spread out two half-dragon wings. The invincible fist user, when she got serious, finally aroused the audience's interest.

"You can't even trigger the Law of Invincibility? Is this all the strength you've got? How disappointing. Only Ekaterina can truly excite me..."

Eva's taunts enraged Casey, who roared in fury and sped away at lightning speed, tearing the path of her run to shreds in a swift storm!

The girl curled her lips into a smile, took a step back and leaped up, her wings sweeping across the wolf's back. The sharp edge of her pleated skirt struck the wolf's skin with a clanging sound, neither able to break through the other's defenses.

"what!"

Eva grabbed the enormous wolf's tail and let out a dragon's roar. The immense force slammed the monster over her shoulder, but the giant wolf was agile. It rolled twice in the air, broke free of the dragon's claws, and its wolf body shrank back to human form, landing lightly on the ground.

Casey's eyes were bloodshot and he licked his claws, which were stained with the blood of a half-dragon. He then regrouped and resumed his attack. He had realized that the beast form was not effective and instead made him feel restricted. He then switched to human form and went berserk, compressing his boiling beast blood to the extreme.

Neither side was a novice who had just entered the Holy Realm. Their use of soul spirits and martial arts was exquisite. A great battle was about to break out. The two sides were locked in a fierce fight, with black and white flames shooting and dancing like fireworks, and explosions rising and falling.

The speed of a saint is so fast that it is impossible for ordinary people to catch it with the naked eye. It can only be reproduced by the mentor's storyboard and projected on the big screen. The death group competition announced the start of another level of competition!

The roars of wolves and dragons echoed across the plains, as if two strange beasts were fighting for territory, far surpassing the previous matches in both scale and intensity.

Another attack missed its mark. Eva took two steps back, spitting out a mouthful of black crystalline flame. Her chest heaved, her strength greatly depleted.

Casey wasn't in much better shape; his fur was standing on end, three scratches appeared on his cheek, and one of his beast ears was blackened and charred. This was a formidable opponent that neither of them had ever encountered before.

At that moment, the girl suddenly heard the Black Knight's roar echo in her ears. The scene of the invincible warrior wielding the War God Rune like a god descending to earth, unstoppable, was still vivid in her mind.

Eva's eyes brightened slightly, her fighting spirit surged, and she seemed to have found the true direction of reason. She immediately projected her soul circuit and stretched out her finger to trace red runes.

Vivian asked worriedly, "What is she doing? With the Hall of Heroes destroyed and no longer a channel to worship the God, who will respond to the runes of the Undefeated Fist?"

Unexpectedly, as the runes took shape, a dark red mark reappeared on the girl's chest, its power filled with a struggling and murderous aura, violent and chaotic.

The half-dragon opened his arms, embracing his newfound self-belief. The blood flowing from his wounds fueled his roaring battle intent, and he shouted the name of divine authority.

"A Battle Song of Tears and Blood!"

The berserk battle intent transformed into a raging gale. Eva, though only one person, seemed to exist alongside thousands of troops and all things, bringing a true bloody battlefield to the Mirror Hall. The terrifying aura forced the simulated barrier to crack.

The Libra and Aries Star Envoys quietly rose and simultaneously unleashed a shower of stars to stabilize the main stage's barrier, leaving their beautiful eyes in awe and wonder.

Such martial arts skills have transcended worldly concerns. Not to mention the impoverished Hall of Heroes with no successors, even the Sanctuary of Stars rarely sees them. Where did this child learn them from?

The powerful figures on the platform stared in disbelief, utterly dumbfounded. Was this the might of the heroic spirits defeated by the Chaotic Throne?

In the chaos, someone responded to the Invincible Fist, but it wasn't Anuba, who was merely known as the God of War. Invincible nodded slightly and muttered to himself.

"now it's right."

Faith is immeasurable; it can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai. As long as there is no doubt in one's heart, the "God of War" she believes in will always exist.

Even someone as mad as Zhang Tiange did not submit to chaos from the beginning. He suffered in the darkness, he struggled in the darkness, and when he transcended pain and despair, he found the oldest and purest order in the world.

Batian was like that, and so was Eva. What they believed in was never the destroyer of all realms, but themselves, which made them infinitely powerful. It was Nolan who made them see this clearly.

Zhang Tiange can use the void to become his own "totem", and Eva will eventually become his own "god of war".

At this moment, the white wolf boy was facing the most terrifying enemy in history. His hands trembled slightly and he shook involuntarily, but a ferocious smile appeared on his face. He showed no fear, and his beastly blood was boiling to the point of breaking.

Only the most brutal battles can bring out a person's full potential...

685. Everything will be alright.

When the second round of the battle began, the Mirror Hall fell silent. Everyone watched the fierce battle in silence, as if making even the slightest sound would be disrespectful to the two respectable players.

The beautiful goddess king had no interest in such things. She couldn't find the source of that strange feeling and was wandering alone in Rhine City.

As dusk fades and night falls, the city is deserted. Even those free citizens who cannot attend the event gather at the City Hall to watch the Starry Night Festival.

A lone rider patrolled the sky, and the city defense team remained at their posts; everything seemed safe.

Nolan sat by the city wall, chin in hand, gazing absently at the distant mountain range. The rich light elements of Trap Island shrouded everything in a sacred hue.

The girl seemed lost in thought, perhaps the moat surrounding the fortress led endlessly to the sea, and a few drops of water appeared on her fair face, the air thick with moisture.

Nolan blinked, as if he had thought of something, but his thoughts were immediately interrupted by a loud commotion. The cheers that erupted from the Rhine Holy Martial Academy venue could be heard even here.

Looking back, a beam of moonlight descended into the Mirror Hall, which was the reason for the audience's excitement. Rodriguez seemed to be gradually demonstrating the formidable strength of a double champion, but it was unknown who he would be facing.
