Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

"Not... enough..."

The black-clad swordsman, clinging to the rotten wood, his soul weak and his voice barely audible, finally managed to stand up again, his steps faltering.

No one knows why the boy is still persisting. His body is already severely overdrawn, and he can only barely survive with the help of the brand. If he continues to fight, his bad injuries will affect his future growth.

The audience, who had been cheering for Rodriguez, gradually quieted down and stopped their enthusiastic shouts. They were shocked by the resolute determination in Lin Dichen's eyes, and many mentors could no longer bear to watch.

"Principal Skadi..."

The Aries Star Envoy couldn't help but speak up, saying that even on a real battlefield, it's rare to see such a "fool," let alone in a school competition.

Skadi pursed her lips into a thin line, ignoring the gazes of Gana and Vivian. Only the principal had the authority to forfeit on behalf of a contestant, but she respected Lin Dichen's decision.

Rodriguez sheathed his sword, straightened his clothes, and inadvertently noticed the gap in his collar. He was moved; it seemed that Lin Dichen hadn't completely missed him.

"Are you that eager to beat me?"

He just didn't want to lose...

Lin Dichen's lips moved, but the bloodstains blurred his vision, making it impossible for him to even determine where his opponent was, and he was already too weak to speak.

Every Star Warrior who comes to this grand stage has their own ambitions and desires, but this handsome boy is different. He has no eyes for the champion, and the only enemy he truly wants to defeat is himself.

Such a "foolish" swordsman was actually Reinhardt's favorite; clever people are too shrewd and are often not favored by the truth.

Rodriguez nodded, seemingly understanding something, and his body erupted with an even stronger, shimmering white aura. He would give Lin Dichen an irresistible reason.

hum!

The moonlight shot into the sky, instantly shattering the simulated barrier and shooting straight into the starry sky above the Mirror Hall!

The powerful Saintly Soul Spirit rose steadily until it crossed the boundary of Sainthood and entered another unknown world. A bright moon rose slowly, and the laws resonated with the stars in the sky.

The Star Lords present all changed their expressions drastically. The rumors were true; Rodriguez had indeed stepped into the realm of the extraordinary. At this moment, he no longer concealed his strength and displayed all his power to this venerable opponent, astonishing the world.

The illusionary barrier of the mimicry realm peeled away piece by piece, rendering it unnecessary. The Saint of the Full Moon, with his extraordinary power, reigned over the Rhine and returned to the Hall of Mirrors.

Lin Dichen forced a smile, his swaying body finally collapsing.

The three star envoys looked on with admiration, as if they had heard about it beforehand, and Commander Michel did not hold back his applause.

Messiah's eyes were filled with disbelief. She turned to look at Byron, only to find her wretched brother raising his glass and smiling leisurely. If Her Majesty the Queen hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten to announce the results.

"The victor is... Rodriguez of the Rhine Holy Martial..."

The power of the Free Federation was once again displayed at the Star Festival, spreading throughout the world in the name of the Star Martial Arts Tournament.

Without a doubt, the blond youth standing in the center of the stage is the most powerful student in the history of Star Alliance School, becoming the most dazzling moon in this era of shining stars.

Entering the transcendent realm at the age of just over twenty is a rare feat, even among the middle-level realms. Rodriguez's terrifying growth surpasses that of Obsidian Emperor and Archangel Skadi in their prime.

This year's Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament has been full of exciting moments, refreshing the understanding of the free people time and time again. It can be called the most exciting competition in a hundred years, and finally it has come to the end of the final day.

What was supposed to follow was a group portrait of all the participating martial artists, a few fun little programs, and a final showdown after the two contestants had had a good rest. However, the unusual actions of the Black Knight and the Lord of Rhine still caused a disagreement.

"Pause the game? That won't do!"

The coaches on the podium shook their heads. As the organizers, they were full of confidence and had set up a glorious stage for the myth of a three-peat.

Vivian glanced at the surging crowd in the audience, her face troubled. The Virgo Star Envoy and the Aries Star Envoy both held different opinions, and whatever happened had to be dealt with after the ceremony.

"I object."

Lister's attitude was resolute, with a group of celebrities and wealthy families behind him who were on the same side, representing the will of the Wings of Liberty Council.

The Libra Star Envoy looked at Michelle. After all, they were still in the territory of Trap Island. If they could get the approval of the Commander-in-Chief of the Unicorn Cavalry, a slight delay should not be a big problem.

Michelle remained silent for a long time without making a clear statement, only saying, "Trap Island will protect all visitors from harm. If there are any heretics who dare to challenge the Father's Pure Land, let them come."

I neither agree nor disagree.

Denton and Saxon's mentors didn't join the debate, since they weren't in the finals anyway, and the opinions of the silly angel were completely ignored. The St. Lenza division, as a newly established campus, had very little say.

The vicious dragon rider commander, who had been observing coldly, suddenly spoke up. Julia said with a smile, "Why don't we ask the two young contestants for their opinions?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they actually thought it made a lot of sense, since the main characters were two students competing for the championship.

Not long after, Nolan and Rodriguez were invited to the podium. The Federation's rising star, who had been so serious just moments before, looked complicated, as if he had just learned that Flandre had lost and that her opponent in the final would be Nolan and Ekaterina.

701. Wrath of the Dragon

This is not something to be happy about. Winning the game can mean losing your life. Miss Nolan might not be happy if she deliberately threw the game. No matter what, she won't accept a man who is weaker than herself.

So Rodriguez is really upset right now; it seems like he can't win the heart of the beauty no matter whether he wins or loses the game.

As the cutest dark horse in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament, the beautiful girl Goddess King was stared at with strange eyes by a group of important figures, who all seemed to have ill intentions.

The intervention of extraordinary sages made the finals a foregone conclusion, but such a young runner-up of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Tournament is also of great investment value. What is even more valuable is that the two Qiaos are also a beautiful and charming young woman. She is best friends with the young lady of the Star Realm Consortium and the Elf Queen of the Seven Royal Courts. Behind her are the rising Chaos Throne and the Six Paths Entropy Demon.

Such excellent conditions could not help but tempt many lords and nobles. If there is a stable alliance in the world, it is of course a beautiful marriage!

After learning the whole story, Rodriguez was taken aback and a little worried about his teacher, as the old man couldn't possibly be absent from such an important occasion.

"I agree with the Dean. Let's find the teacher first, then we can talk about it. I really can't bring myself to do anything to Miss Nolan."

Byron frowned and cut to the chase, saying, "This is not the time for empty talk. I suggest we start the finals immediately. It would be good for everyone to liberate the defenses of the Mirror Hall as soon as possible."

The crowd exchanged glances, seemingly convinced by the suggestion, which was accepted by both sides. The Demon Lord was still watching them intently from the sidelines, and most of their defensive forces were stationed here, making it difficult for them to leave.

"Mr. Byron is right. The game should not only not be paused, but should start earlier and end as soon as possible."

Nolan stretched, his thoughts coinciding with Byron's: the majority of civilians gathered at the Rhine Holy Martial Academy were the biggest threat, hindering the Star Lord's actions.

The Mirror Hall remained unresolved, while Reinhardt faced an unprecedented catastrophe, being besieged by three adult gem dragons of extraordinary power, each possessing legion-level strength.

Boom!

The gloomy sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations permeated the heavens. Several thick golden currents surged as the Orange Fluorite Dragon Mother stirred, chasing Reinhardt. The Moonstone Dragon Mother's dark light arrows followed closely, vicious and ruthless.

Reinhardt was outmatched by three opponents and was unable to fight back. He was still distracted and worried about the distant city. His attempts to break through and destroy the wormhole repeatedly failed.

He did not choose to flee, nor could he ever flee from the battlefield. If the wormhole was not destroyed here, no one could defeat the sea creatures in the water.

Explosions echoed around the soaring winged lion. It narrowly escaped forbidden spells several times, and its body and wings were already covered in wounds, with blood flowing freely.

The Winged Lion Commander, though old, was still incredibly strong. Even the arrogant Sapphire Dragon King had to admit that he and the two Dragon Queens were no match for him in a one-on-one fight.

But the old principal's stubborn resistance came to an end there...

"Ahger!"

Orotanbe chanted a forbidden dragon incantation, guiding endless water vapor to lock onto the scurrying flies, while the seawater below surged and froze, solidifying into a domain of piercing ice spikes.

Reinhardt was caught off guard and his thigh was pierced. He cried out in pain as golden lightning and dark moon arrows followed him relentlessly, knocking him off the glacier.

Worse still, the sea level is rising at a visible speed, sweeping over the plains and hills in an instant, and the giant waves of the sea creatures and the dragon beast army have already advanced to an unknown location.

The people of Rhine City were completely unaware of this and could face annihilation at any moment!

Damn it!

Reinhardt tore open the deep, bone-revealing wound on his left arm, which was wrapped in his cloak, and shattered the frost covering his body with golden flames, roaring furiously.

It was precisely these desperate cries, along with the astonishing fluctuations emanating from within the plane, that made it difficult for the Void Wanderer to ignore.

"Farewell, guardians of the Rhine Holy Warriors, this era does not belong to you."

Orotanbe raised his staff high, and the powerful elements proclaimed death. The deaths of Zhang Tao and Reinhardt would be the first death knell to awaken the free people, and this was only the beginning.

The Moonstone Dragon Mother and the Orange Fluorite Dragon Mother sighed, their graceful bodies rising and falling from the clouds, opening their enormous mouths to exhale crystalline flames.

Reinhardt pounded his chest, his beastly blood raging, his long hair whipping wildly, his drooping wings rendered powerless, and he could only unleash his soul spirit to meet the attack head-on.

Click!

A giant hand shattered the spatial barrier, and the Black Knight suddenly appeared, wielding a purple-bladed greatsword and blocking Reinhardt's path.

The greatsword's edge was broken in half, but the blade was still ridiculously large, like a shield that blocked the triple dragon breath. The immense elemental power was annihilated upon touching the cracked infernal scorch marks.

"Invincible..."

Orotanbe nodded, somewhat surprised, somewhat mocking.

So what if it's been exposed? The sea creatures and dragons have launched a full-scale invasion of Skyfall Island, their armies pressing in. Soon there won't be a single piece of land left here, and no one can change the outcome.

The two dragon mothers transformed into elegant women, exchanged a glance, slightly wary, but not because of the Chaos Knight, whose strange weapon possessed an aura that could make dragons tremble.

Reinhardt paused for a moment, noticing that the reinforcements showed no joy, for the odds of victory remained slim. He hoped that Invincible would head off without looking back to warn the Sanctuary of the Stars.

"go!"

Without saying a word, Wudi lifted the old headmaster and was about to escape into the void rift. The situation was critical, and it was clear what was happening just by looking at him.

The enemy that the beautiful goddess king least expected was the Colorful Valley. The Boundless Land had lost the protection of the Qilin Venerable for a thousand years, and the sea tribe and dragon tribe had rebelled in the chaos. It seems that she really needs to find out where the Three Phases went.

"no!"

Reinhardt's blood-stained fingers gripped Invincible's shoulder tightly, his eyes bloodshot, his last hope resting on a potential enemy he suspected.

"We can't leave! We absolutely cannot let them continue to connect with the Sea King. Only we can destroy the wormhole now. If we leave, Rhine City has no chance of winning!"

Sea creature soldiers poured into the plane in an endless stream, accompanied by abundant water elemental energy, making it impossible for any force to withstand them.

Invincible turned and glanced at Orotenbe and the other two dragon mothers. The oppressive aura of the transcendent realm was overwhelming. It was nothing short of a pipe dream for this puppet armor and a heavily injured old lion to try and get past the three gem dragon kings.

"Do you want to die here? The people and students of Rhine City need you more."

"No...no..."

Reinhardt's voice was weak, but Orotenbe did not let this opportunity pass and eliminated two major enemies in one fell swoop. Rolling waves suddenly appeared and ice rain fell, launching the first attack.

The golden currents interspersed with the Dark Moon Blade, and the earth-shattering power of the forbidden spell instantly left the two without a foothold. Without hesitation, Invincible ignored Reinhardt's struggles, picked up the old headmaster, and ran, trying every means to shake off the three-headed dragon and escape back to Rhine City.

702. The Most Dangerous Place

At this moment, Nolan, standing on the main stage of the Mirror Hall, felt a chill run down his spine. He looked at Ekaterina with a complicated expression, completely ignoring the cheers of the audience and the host's excited commentary.

The fact that the finals were held ahead of schedule was unexpected. Although it was a bit rushed, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the free people. Two popular and powerful players made a stunning appearance.

The duel between the dragon-riding girls and the extraordinary saints has attracted worldwide attention, becoming the most popular broadcast program today. From the polar day snowfields in the north to the elven royal court in the south, the attention of all forces is focused on Skyfall Island.
