Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

The most outstanding freshman in the history of Starry Sky Academy is actually a vase who relies on Dragon Princess to bully others and only knows how to hide behind his family and play petty tricks. This is not the level that the top four contestants should have.

Alicia accompanied Nolan to the lounge, nagging for a long time, telling her sister to protect herself and beware of the mysterious greenhouse, but she only had one sentence for Xiaoye.

Burn down her garden!

Regardless of the method, as long as Nolan defeats Flandre, he will be the runner-up in this Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament and the glorious rebirth of Saint Lenza.

Ekaterina and Flandre have never fought each other, and it is difficult to judge who is better based on their methods in the competition. However, her chances of winning are not low, but it will be difficult to protect the little knight from harm in Rodriguez's hands.

Rodriguez and Lin Dichen have already arrived, surrounded by their respective college mentors. They are cramming for the competition, as the significance of the championship is more important to the college than to the contestants themselves.

Serani was also by Flandre's side, easing her disciple's tension. This was perhaps the most important moment of her life; whether she could shatter the full moon myth depended on her performance next.

Strangely, the academy headmaster and Principal Saint Lenza were also there. Vivian was smiling and talking with an elegant winged woman in a white robe, while Skadi looked displeased.

The appearance of the silver-haired girl instantly attracted everyone's attention. Rodriguez's eyes lit up; she was probably the only contestant he had any expectations for, though not in terms of strength.

Lin Dichen smiled and nodded to Senior Sister Ekaterina, while Flandre's eager fighting spirit was also focused on the cold and beautiful dragon.

"This... must be Miss Nolan."

The beautiful woman spoke first, glancing with satisfaction at Alicia's archer's robes before smiling at Joestar.

The woman's golden hair was streaked with white strands, indicating her advanced age. Yet, her face was smooth and gentle, and her kind eyes made people feel very close to her. Like the sand sculpture angel, she had eight full wings, suggesting that her status on Skyfall Island was probably no lower than Reinhardt's.

695. The Great Crisis

Nolan glanced at his excited sister. Before Alicia could speak, Skuld had already mocked, "Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Lady Michel, one of the four Archangels of Skyfall Island, and also your mother's defeated opponent!"

Nolan paused for a moment. The appearance of the Demon Lord had already alarmed the current commander-in-chief of the Unicorn Knights, who were arguably the strongest girl army on Trap Island. It seemed that she could rest assured now.

Vivian covered her forehead. There was no need for the last sentence. The vengeful little angel was still holding a grudge against Michelle for taking away the unicorn rider.

A black line appeared on Michelle's forehead, but her smile remained unchanged. She raised her leg and kicked Skuld in the butt, sending her flying far away.

“You @#￥%…”

Michelle ignored Skuld's curses, gave Alicia a warm hug, and gently pinched Nolan's cheek, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen the Duchess. I wonder how she is. The news of the Holy Marshal's passing has saddened all the subjects of the Lawful Light faction."

"Mother...is well."

When Tess was mentioned, Alicia's expression became somewhat unnatural, but she didn't realize that this mentor and friend was worried because Alicia was able to serve the Unicorn Knights as a human thanks to her mother.

Michelle nodded, staring blankly at the silver-haired girl, who looked remarkably like Tess in her youth.

"I will not allow anyone to act recklessly on this sacred land. You can participate in the competition with peace of mind."

Alicia opened her mouth, but dared not reveal anything about her father. That man was not Sion, but the former Duke of Destruction.

Even the leader wasn't sure if the resurrected evil spirit would harm her daughter...

“You… are very good. The children of God will surely like you. Why choose a path of chaos?”

Michelle patted Nolan's head with pity in her eyes; the children she spoke of were perhaps the unicorns of the Heavenly Father Ranch.

For a fleeting moment, the beautiful goddess king felt that this kind woman was more like a mother than Tess, and Alicia also sensed in Michel what was missing in this crazy family.

Michelle shook her head, took a step back, and said with a half-smile, "Anyway, Lord Reinhardt specifically asked me to come... to meet a certain child. Now that I've met him, you'd better do your best in the upcoming matches. You can rest assured with me here. I'm not like some of those kids who only know how to talk big. No matter what happens, I'll protect you."

"What did you say!?"

Skuld flew over angrily, but before she could jump, Vivian grabbed her wing.

After saying this, Michelle led the two British officers on unicorn cavalry away from the backstage. Her eyes were full of meaning, and it was clear that the old principal's original words were not so friendly. They were probably meant to supervise and be wary.

Nolan seemed thoughtful, not expecting Reinhardt to value "Invincibility" to this extent, always believing that the Chaos Throne had designs on Rhine City.

For the old man, there was really no need to watch this match. The Chaos Knight who single-handedly destroyed the Temple of War was actually a beautiful young girl who had just come of age and had been enrolled at the Star Alliance School for less than a year.

If it weren't for Tess's cautionary tale, who would believe it?

Perhaps it was because of Tess's unreasonable behavior that Reinhard had to be wary of this gifted family with an unknown origin.

The enthusiastic cheers from above interrupted Nolan's thoughts. The four contestants were about to take the stage. Rodriguez took the lead and stepped onto the elevator, followed closely by Flandre, who took a deep breath.

"come on!"

Skuld waved her little fist to cheer on Lin Dichen and Nolan.

The enthusiasm of the audience was beyond imagination. The atmosphere in the Mirror Hall on the day of the finals was completely different. All the free people of the Federation were watching the star fighters of the Star Martial Arts Tournament. Only one person could win all the matches and reach the pinnacle of the stars.

"here we go."

The girls leaned out the window, watching the four contestants stand on opposite sides, receiving cheers from the entire audience.

A thick layer of condensation covered the glass window, slightly obstructing the view. Olivia reached out and gently wiped it away with her finger, frowning slightly. She hadn't expected the climate on Sky Island to be so humid, but Mist Princess felt extremely comfortable, almost able to breathe in the air.

"Standing to my left is the student council president from Ceylon Academy, the renowned beauty Senior Flandre, the Saint of [Youthful Radiance]! The contestant on my right is probably even more familiar to everyone, the two-time Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament champion, the Myth of Full Moon, a top expert from Rhine Holy Martial Arts, Mr. Rodriguez!"

Messiah was very pleased with the roaring cheers from the audience and turned the camera to the focused warriors, with starlight illuminating the center of the main stage.

"The remaining two contestants are elites from the Saint Lenza region. I believe no one expected them to make it this far in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament, where strong opponents abound. But Lin Dichen and Nolan have overcome one formidable enemy after another, turning all doubts into motivation. Their invincible attitude has attracted more and more viewers. We look forward to them creating another miracle today!"

The audience cheered for their favorite contestants, with Flandre and Rodriguez receiving the loudest cheers. When it came to the black-clad swordsman and the dragon rider girl who had been spouting nonsense, the audience was noticeably quieter, boos rose up, and the harsh laughter was mostly mocking the two pretty faces.

At least, the overall appearance of this year's Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament was consistently stunning, with several beautiful young women stepping onto the battlefield together, a feast for the eyes.

"Unfortunately, we only have one champion today, and the stars will select two of them to advance to the finals!"

As soon as he finished speaking, portals rose up on both sides of the stage, revealing the full view of the simulated battlefield.

Flandre bit her lip, her eyes flashing. Her duel with Nolan would take place deep in the dark cave. Night battles were highly unpredictable, but that would also greatly limit the Void Dragon's mobility, giving her a certain advantage.

Does the silver-haired girl's good fortune seem to have come to an end?

"grass!"

Skuld angrily pounded on Invincible's head. The dragon's wings were bound! Saint Lenza was in great crisis!

Vivian rolled her eyes at Skadi, but Michelle, standing next to Alicia, remained unmoved, quietly waiting for Joseph's performance. She replaced Reinhardt and sat in the principal's seat.

The fact that the Unicorn Knight Commander-in-Chief rarely left the Heavenly Father Ranch invigorated the leaders of the various families, who greeted him warmly. Julia, the originally arrogant and domineering commander of the vicious dragon riders, became docile and treated the situation as if it were a formidable enemy.

The mentors and students were still gloating, looking forward to Saint Lenza being humiliated, but few paid attention to the dangerous battlefield between Lin Dichen and Rodriguez, assuming that the Lionheart disciple would advance directly.

The battle between Lin Dichen and Rodriguez will only be more boring than this, at least Ekaterina was once Saint Lenza's ace.

At this moment, Lin Dichen and Rodriguez were calm, ignoring the noise and music outside the arena, their eyes only on each other and each other's swords.

696. The Final Match Held Ahead of Schedule

Before the sacred bell could ring, Rodriguez and Lin Dichen suddenly smiled mysteriously and took a step forward almost simultaneously, entering the Blazing Sun Mountains.

"Uh, the match begins!"

Messiah paused for a moment, cursed under his breath, and hurriedly broadcast the message, skipping the lengthy, dramatic dialogue.

Flandre and Nolan greeted each other politely and slowly stepped into the portal, whereupon everything went dark.

In the pitch-black darkness, it would be difficult for ordinary classes to assess the situation, but Flandre remained calm and unhurried, casually tossing green seeds into the cave.

The screen displayed the scene after the secret technique was revealed: a maze of interconnected caves resembling abandoned dwarven ruins, with wide sections comparable to city squares and narrow sections requiring one to crouch to pass through.

The dragon, unable to fully extend its massive body, refrained from rashly transforming into its true form to attract the enemy's attention; its amber eyes gleamed in the darkness.

"Stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."

Ekaterina ruffled Nolan's hair, kissed her forehead, then enveloped herself in crystal scale armor and disappeared into the darkness.

No one expected that the Dragon Knights would choose to split up. The audience and mentors criticized Nolan's unwise move, but the Dragon Princess herself seemed very confident.

The two had made a blood oath, and could clearly sense each other's presence no matter where they were, and could immediately detect any danger.

Nolan tilted his head, his expression a half-smile. His wife, though outwardly arrogant, seemed to still really want to defeat Flandre and face Rodriguez again to wash away her previous humiliation.

A silly angel, a void dragon, a succubus homeroom teacher, a lazy rich girl—many people want Nolan to win the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament, but the beautiful goddess herself isn't among them.

Before the battle inside the cave could even begin, a sudden, intense fluctuation occurred on the other side of the screen. Lin Dichen and Rodriguez unleashed an astonishing aura as soon as they entered the simulated battlefield, guiding their opponents into a direct confrontation and getting straight to the point.

The Lie Ri Mountain range was bathed in the blazing sun, which should have made it sweltering and restless, but it was unexpectedly cool and humid. There was no wind, no moon, and neither light nor fire were elements that the two of them preferred.

Undisguised fluctuations of their souls pinpointed each other. Both drew their swords and rushed forward at high speed, leaving two distinct trails in the mountains. They were about to meet at the central peak.

Buzz------!

The deafening roar drew everyone's attention as the dark black blade clashed with the moon-white sword light, overturning the surrounding barren ironwood.

The black-clad swordsman took a step back, dissipating his momentum, and looked up at the mountain peak. Above him, Rodriguez also used a turning step to break through the attacking gale, his arm slightly sore.

The first clash between two martial artists of vastly different strengths turned out to be... evenly matched?

Messiah tugged at Chinara's sleeve and said, "How come you don't even have a decent weapon, Senior Kobayashi? Are you sure you're okay?"

Messiah could go on and on about Rodriguez's peculiar flaws for a whole day and night, but both she and Byron had to admit that in terms of talent and strength, that man was indeed the most outstanding person they had ever seen.

"Since he's so confident, he must be hiding some other amazing skills."

The Elf Queen shook her head, her thoughts not optimistic. To the world, the Holy Land remained an insurmountable chasm.

Since Lin Dichen defeated the pseudo-Saint Dalton, he might still pose a threat to Rodriguez. Many mentors wanted to see where the limit of the sub-Saint really was.

Lin Dichen pursed his lips, his resolute gaze sliding from his shoulder to his wrist, once again merging with the decaying wood. He whistled in the wind, his figure flashing a hundred meters in an instant.

Ding!

The gentle breeze struck the silver-white cross sword like a hammer, creating hundreds of powerful, resounding clashes that sparked and flew everywhere.

This time, Rodriguez remained motionless, his calm eyes glancing at the longsword in his hand. The magic-armored blade was forged from meteorite iron, yet it had been scratched by a piece of rotten wood.

No, that's not right. What the sword actually touched wasn't the piece of wood, but Lin Dichen's sword intent.

"Incredible! You are truly bearing the law with the body of a near-saint. Before the competition ends, could you please answer my questions?"

Rodriguez took a deep breath, then gripped the sword with both hands, holding it in front of his chest. The silver cross sword shone with a dazzling moonlight.

The Rhine school's one-handed swordsmanship is very different from two-handed swordsmanship. No one in the previous Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament has been able to withstand the full offensive stance of the [Full Moon] Saint, not even the Gem Dragon.

Only the winners have the right to ask questions!

Lin Dichen chuckled. The brief clash had made him realize the difference in their raw strength. He immediately abandoned a direct attack and instead erected several wind walls to surround his opponent. His slender figure disappeared into the dark wind.
