Chapter 477: Overwhelming the Competition, the Drop Rate is Really High
"It's too fast, I can't see his movements at all!"
Leone, Brand, and the others were shocked. Their eyes never left Roy on the ring, yet they couldn't even catch a glimpse of his afterimage.
In the blink of an eye, Bud's mountain-like figure was sent flying backward, making everyone's hair stand on end, and a chilling coldness crawled up their spines like a venomous snake.
call!
As the dust that had blotted out the sky slowly dissipated, Bud's figure, embedded in the ruins, was revealed to everyone—a pitiful, shockingly pitiful sight!
The heavy armor on his chest and abdomen was deeply dented, broken ribs pierced his flesh, and dark red blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spilled from the corner of Bud's mouth.
"Cough—cough cough—"
Bud coughed, his half-bloodied, distorted face filled with disbelief, bewilderment, and shock. Speed—
—Power—The gap is too big!
He would never underestimate Roy, who killed Esdeath, but even though he had estimated Roy's strength to be extremely high before the battle, he realized how naive and ridiculous he had been when they actually clashed; they were not even in the same league.
He thought Roy and Esdeath had fought a fierce battle, with Roy ultimately winning by a narrow margin.
But the reality might be that Roy completely dominated the entire game!
Aside from the Teigu Thunder God's Wrath Admiral, Bud's physical abilities are probably around LV.4.
Roy is a genuine LV.8 peak.
When Zank peered into Roy's muscle density and energy intensity using the Imperial Arms, Five Visions: The Observer—
Everyone was stunned. Where did this monster come from? Even the most dangerous species weren't this terrifying!
Esdeath, who has fused with the blood of a super dangerous species, possesses the strongest physique in the world. Only Akame, who amplifies her body with curses in the late game, can surpass her.
Others are hovering between LV.2 and LV.4.
Roy, who is several levels above, has high damage with both his left and right punches. If he can't kill his opponent with one punch, it's considered a waste to use skills and magic.
Under that punch, most of Bud's ribs and internal organs were instantly shattered. The reason he was still alive was purely because Roy wanted to make an example of him.
Roy's steps never faltered as he walked step by step toward Bud's figure, deeply embedded in the broken wall.
Just as Bud wanted to demoralize the Revolutionary Army, Roy also wanted to use them to thwart the Empire's will!
"Stop him!"
Will, Seryu, and Borus realized what was happening.
"Noble Chariot!" Will plunged his longsword into the ground. With a loud "boom," the ground shattered, revealing a thick, jet-black armor that shimmered with a dark luster, covering his body. His eyes gleamed with a scarlet light.
"Kero, go berserk!" Seryu shouted, and the docile little puppy—the Beast Transformation Hundred-Armed Giant—expanded wildly, its skin turning a robust brown, its muscles bulging, and its fangs exposed.
Compared to the other two, Polus launched the first attack, using the Imperial Arms Purgatory Summoning Rubigand to target Roy. The black nozzle emitted a dragon-like scorching breath, carrying a terrifyingly high temperature that could incinerate everything.
Bang!
Just as the raging flames were about to engulf Roy, his figure vanished again without warning.
The next moment, Roy appeared before Borus like a ghost, terrifying the latter.
Polus's mind raced. Attacking or dodging was impossible, even General Bud couldn't do it. All he could do was self-destruct!
drop!
Without hesitation, Polus pressed the self-destruct button.
The Imperial Arms Purgatory Summoning Rubigand has no so-called secret technique, only an explosion that comes at the cost of self-destruction, and its power is comparable to a small-yield nuclear bomb.
Roy wouldn't let the other party do that. He could withstand a nuclear bomb with his own body, but there was no need. His right leg swept across like a steel whip, kicking Polus in the side. With a little force, he sent the other party flying into the air.
"Oh no!" Polus's face turned pale.
Rumble!
Like a cannonball, Polus was blasted away and instantly reached a height of thousands of meters in the air, where he exploded with a deafening roar. The world-burning flames, more dazzling and violent than the sun, burst forth, illuminating the entire sky. The violent shockwave, carrying dangerous fragments of flame, swept down wildly.
The difference in strength was too great. In Roy's eyes, whether it was Bud or Polus, their movements were as slow as a baby's. Through prediction, he even blasted them away in advance. Polus was almost off the ground before he pressed the self-destruct button on his Teigu.
Borus is dead!
The houses around the arena were flattened by the shockwave, suffering undeserved damage, and cries of agony filled the air, but those who came here were prepared.
"Mr. Borus!"
Watching helplessly as Polus perished in the flames, anger transformed into a burning surge of bloodlust that overwhelmed Will's mind.
"Rebels, die!" Will roared, charging madly at Roy, channeling all his strength into his black spear and slashing it down fiercely.
Clang!
Roy glanced at Will casually, then reached out and grabbed the heavy black gun with his bare hands, the two striking each other with a metallic clang.
"What?!" Will's pupils widened.
This was a powerful slash he unleashed using his Imperial Arms, a strike with all his might, capable of cleaving a high-level Dangerous Beast in two.
"Aaaaaah!" Will roared in frustration, gripping the gun with both hands and pressing it forward madly. His hands split open, and blood stained the cold gun handle.
No matter how hard Will tried, his strength was like a mud ox sinking into the sea; he couldn't budge Roy in front of him.
Will's mind went blank. What kind of monster were they fighting?
boom!
Roy gripped the gun barrel with his five fingers and suddenly exerted force, lifting Will up along with the gun. Will's feet left the ground, and he uncontrollably slammed forward onto the ground.
The point of impact exploded violently, shaking the entire arena and spreading out terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks.
"puff!"
The armor of the noble chariot shattered instantly, and Will coughed up blood, his eyeballs bulging out as he suffered excruciating pain and the impact.
"Drink!!" Seryu's face was contorted, his eyes filled with blood, as if he had transformed into a vengeful ghost.
The serious injury to her superior, Bud, the death of her colleague, Borus, and the severe injury to Will greatly affected this girl whose beliefs were deeply distorted under the imperial system.
She and the berserk hundred-armed giant charged at Roy relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of bullets and muscular giant hands.
The man and the beast worked together seamlessly!
Roy's expression remained calm and composed.
There are no complicated moves, only pure numbers, extreme power and speed!
Roy waved his hand, sweeping away all the bullets in front of him, leaving one bullet which he flicked with two fingers. The bullet was even faster, accompanied by a strong whooshing sound, and swept through the void, piercing through Seryu's head.
Seryu looked dazed and eventually lost his life.
boom!
Immediately afterwards, Roy's fist struck the center of the Hundred-Armed Giant's palm, the violent force of the punch flowing upwards along the giant's thick forelimb.
The hundred-armed giant let out a mournful cry, and its massive body exploded, turning into dust along with its internal core, with no possibility of recovery.
"Seryu—!"
Will screamed at the top of his lungs, but all that remained was a deathly silence.
The Empire's strongest warriors—Bud, Will, Polus, and Seryu—were all utterly defeated!
This outcome was unexpected by everyone. Everyone who witnessed it was left with only heavy breathing, uncontrollable trembling, and chattering teeth, their faces filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
It was a one-sided humiliation!
Leone, Brand, and the others were so shocked that they were speechless. They knew that Roy's opponents were not nobodies; they were all Imperial Arms users, among the strongest in the Empire, including General Budo.
Only Najenda could understand that Roy and Alphia both possessed powers beyond reason. If they hadn't been injured, there would have been no need for all this trouble. They could have simply swept through the capital and no one could have stopped them!
boom!
Just then, a deafening explosion erupted, sending debris and dust billowing into the sky. A burly figure, crackling with raging lightning, broke through the ruins and soared into the heavens.
Bud!
The empire's strongest man, dragging his nearly shattered body, used the Imperial Arm Raijin: Rage Admirer to manipulate electromagnetic fields, causing himself to levitate beneath the sky.
Lightning crackled, and blood flowed like a stream from the gaps in Bud's shattered armor.
"Only you—only you are the greatest threat to the Empire. Even if my body is destroyed, I will annihilate your existence!" Bud looked down at Roy and let out a desperate roar like a trapped beast on the verge of death.
Bud raised his arms high, and Thor's Wrath Admiral unleashed an unprecedentedly dazzling burst of lightning.
Rumble!
Above the sky, thick dark clouds within a radius of several kilometers were drawn by the Imperial Arms, forming an enormous thunderstorm vortex centered on Budo.
Billions of bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, surged through the vortex like wildly dancing lightning serpents.
"This is the empire's strongest—"
The people in the town looked at the terrifying sea of lightning and felt the terrifying pressure from above. A strong sense of crisis welled up in their hearts, and their expressions changed drastically.
Najenda frowned, resisting the urge to use the Romantic Cannon Pumpkin; she trusted Roy.
"Secret Technique - Raid by the Thunder Emperor!"
Bud's roar echoed through the sky, and lightning from the depths of the dark clouds gathered, transforming into a world-destroying pillar of lightning that blotted out the sun and was powerful enough to level the towns below.
A dazzling bolt of lightning engulfed everything in sight!
The aura of destruction suffocated all things, and Bud's final blow, delivered at the cost of his life, crashed down with tremendous force.
Roy looked up, his eyes reflecting the earth-shattering lightning pillar. "It's probably a LV.6 magic—" Although it borrowed the power of the Imperial Arms, it was already quite impressive that LV.4 Bud could deal such damage.
He also recovered some of his magic power. Unlike the seal on Alphia, the black dragon's incomplete seal on him began to loosen as time passed.
Roy could vaguely sense the magical energy in the outside world and slowly stretched out his right hand upwards.
"Zzzzt—Buzz!!"
The "Magic Guidance" ability granted by his immortal bloodline was activated, and a golden magic circle appeared beneath Roy's feet. As countless runes flowed, they absorbed a large amount of magic energy, which was then transformed into golden lightning that coiled around his palms.
A giant golden lightning hand materialized out of thin air and reached out to grab the violently descending lightning pillar.
puff!
The terrifying lightning pillar, powerful enough to annihilate a town, was completely devoured and assimilated the moment it touched the giant golden hand, causing the hand to grow even larger.
Seeing this, Bud's heart sank to the bottom. The empire was finished, and it would surely be destroyed by this young man!
The Thunder Hand continued its momentum without slowing down, enveloping the exhausted Bud, who had burned his life force and unleashed his final attack, and gently grasping him.
Bang!
Bud's tattered body, along with his armor and Imperial Arm Raijin's Wrath Admiral, vanished in the dazzling lightning. Under the absolute golden power of the lightning, it was instantly disintegrated, turning into a wisp of smoke that dissipated with the wind.
Imperial General Bud died on the spot!
"General Bude!"
Will was easily defeated by Roy and lay helplessly on the ground, staring blankly at everything that was happening, as if he had lost his soul. He couldn't protect anything.
The others were still shaken. If Bud had landed that move, no one would have survived. In a sense, they all owed Roy a favor.
Although they were grateful to have escaped with their lives, it seemed insignificant compared to another matter.
Almost all the Imperial Arms users who participated in the tournament were wiped out!
There was no earth-shattering battle as expected; it was more like Roy slicing through vegetables, killing one person with a single move, including Bud, who was known as the strongest in the empire.
"Damn revolutionary army, they actually have such powerful trump cards, no wonder they dare to provoke the empire like this."
Scouts from all sides broke out in a cold sweat. Roy's strength was absolutely unmatched. Where did those bastards in the Revolutionary Army find such a guy?
Hidden in the crowd, Akame grabbed her younger sister Kurome; if they rushed forward, they would only be throwing their lives away.
The difference in strength is outrageous!
Even if she possessed the Imperial Arms Murasame, a weapon capable of one-hit kill, it would be meaningless if she couldn't even touch Roy's clothes. More importantly, Akame had begun to question the Empire's system and wanted to leave the organization.
Leone, Brand, and Chelsea gazed intently at Roy's imposing figure on the ring; they saw hope for changing the Empire!
Unlike the others, Roy had successfully hunted down the prey and was staring at the reward panel that only he could see.
[Successfully defeated Polus! Congratulations on obtaining the Bronze Treasure Chest, the Furnace of Rubigand!]
[Successfully defeated Seryu Ubiquitous and the Hundred-Armed Giant. Congratulations on obtaining the Beast Imperial Arm Core!]
[Successfully defeated Bud! Congratulations on obtaining a Silver Treasure Chest, Royal Body Tempering Technique, and Thunder Gauntlets!]
Roy glanced at the items and saw that the Rubigand's Furnace and the Beast Imperial Arms Core were both high-quality items, none of them even reaching epic level. They were far inferior to Esdeath's rewards, which was to be expected.
Ignoring the Imperial Arms, these people's strength immediately drops by 90%. The loot reward is calculated based on the opponent's physical strength, while the hunting mission is based on overall strength.
Only Esdeath, who drinks the blood of a super dangerous species, can reach a physique of LV.6 or even LV.7.
The treasure chest, however, gave Roy some pleasant surprises.
[The Bronze Treasure Chest has been opened! Congratulations on obtaining a Fine Iron Longsword and ten bottles of High-Grade Life Elixirs!]
The Silver Treasure Chest has been opened! Congratulations on obtaining three bottles of Panacea and an Epic Space Ring!
Roy's eyes lit up. Other rewards were secondary; what he needed most right now was a spiritual medicine that could accelerate the repair of his injuries and restore his strength.
