Tomb Survival: Evolve from Skeleton

"Master Kress, who do you think will win?"

When Rubia raised his question, Kress was watching the arena with indifference, and the desperate struggle between the two family hedge knights.

They are all characters with certain combat experience and skills, but they are far from Kress' opponents...

"It doesn't matter who wins, they're too weak to be a threat to me."

The girl on the side seemed surprised.

"As expected of Lord Kress!"

Rubiah spoke swearingly, with the light of a girl looking at an idol shining in her eyes.

……

The first battle was over soon.

Although, as the first knight competition, their fighting skills are not so wonderful.

However, as a hot game for ordinary people, it is far from enough.

Because, in the first match, they managed to let all the audience see the blood...

The blood spurted by the "Red Viper" knight made the people of the kingdom, who have been living in a dull and boring life, feel a bit of bloodthirsty excitement...

screaming, roaring...

One after another throughout the arena.

The winner gets applause, cheers and glory from the audience.

The loser will leave behind everything possible including life...

……

"The next battle will be the red rock family's hired knight Vitanda, against..."

"Representing the new Mithril-ranked adventurer of the Hesmu Branch of the Adventurer's Guild—Kress Zack!"

"It's my turn."

On the attic viewing platform, Kress whispered to himself.Zac is the surname that Narco suggested him to add, which is good for distinguishing Kress from ordinary civilians without surnames.

Stepping out of the combat boots, holding the long sword at the waist with one hand, the scarlet short cloak and the exquisite full-body armor, in the eyes of anyone present, this is a character that is not easy to mess with.

"Master Kress! Come on!"

Behind the back of Kress going away, there was the cheering sound of Rubia blinking her big eyes and waving her hands.

……

"Battle, start!"

As the host's voice falls, the battle begins!
The first moment Kress came on the field, he had already observed all the strength information of the opponent——

【Name: Vitanda】

【Race: Human】

[Occupation: soldier lv.1, mercenary lv.1, wrestler lv.2]

[Level: Level [-] (Racial Level [-], Occupation Level [-])]

【Skill:……】

[Weapon proficiency: giant hammer: 54. 】

【characteristic:……】

……

He is not his opponent.

Kress thought, but there was still no sign of relaxation in his heart.

Vitanda Knight began to accelerate the charge.

The sledgehammer in his hand, under his strong body like a bull, was like a meteorite, and it hit Kress's approximate location directly.

Dust and smoke everywhere...

Even the neatly arranged marble and stone bricks on the arena were instantly shattered and scattered under the violent hammering.

however……

After the dust and smoke cleared, all the audience looked carefully, and suddenly discovered... Kress was not crushed into meatloaf as expected, but disappeared!

No, it's not just gone.

The handle of the huge hammer of the Vitanda knight has been neatly cut off in the middle.

What an amazing speed!

"This is... cut off my hammer handle while dodging!..."

Knight Vitanda was also surprised in his heart. With this attack speed, he didn't even have any reaction at that moment.

in case……

The guy opposite just attacked was not the handle of the hammer, but his own neck...

Vitanda couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Hey, you are not my opponent, admit defeat."

"Admit defeat?!"

Vitanda turned around angrily. As a knight, facing the enemy, no matter how unfavorable the situation, it is absolutely impossible to surrender!
"...Don't be complacent, even if I don't have a weapon, I can defeat you!"

Vitanda directly threw away the hammer handle in his hand.

The whole person jumped up.

It fell down like a boulder!
"too slow……"

Faintly, the entire arena seems to be able to hear this sentence...

No one saw Kress pull out the long sword at his waist, only to see that the two of them crossed positions in the air in an instant.

Look again.

Kress had already reached behind the knight and slowly retracted the long sword.

On the other hand, the knight fell to the ground directly...

no blood.

The high-level knights and adventurers will see that Kress used his sword hilt to stun him just before the intersection...

"There is no need to multiply senseless killings."

Kress thought, he still kept a low profile, and didn't need to create blood just to win the audience's attention...

The entire auditorium fell into a brief silence...

Immediately, exclamations and applause that were several times hotter than before erupted.

Kress was a little confused.

why?
Why are the audience so excited when there is no bloody killing? ? ?
……

auditorium.

"Look! Such a strong knight, who kills without bloodshed!"

"That's right, it's too powerful to kill people invisible with one stagger! If I had known, I would have bet all my wealth on him and would have made several times more!"

"Kress Zack! Well played, go!"

"Cress Zack!"

"Cress Zack!"

……

on the arena.

Hearing the voice from the auditorium, Kress was speechless for a while.

far away.

On the second floor watching the attic, Rubia looked adoring.

"Is this the strength of Mr. Kress? He clearly said that he should keep a low profile, but in the end he defeated the enemy so perfectly in an instant, hahaha..."

Rubia thought, and chuckled at the same time...

"Sure enough, Master Kress's strength cannot be hidden!"

……

in the next qualifying match.

There is no doubt that Kress perfectly crushed the past with absolute strength all the way.

The bonus of the rare profession "Ghost Swordsman" has already made it difficult for him to find an opponent among ordinary knights and adventurers.

Coupled with Kress's high-level suppression, the accumulation of other characteristics before, and the combat talent "war-thirsty (primary)"...

In a way, Kress couldn't figure out which human knight he would lose to here.

Of course, Kress remained cautious.

No one can guarantee that there might be strong people hiding among these ordinary knights.

And Rubia has a completely different attitude...

At the gate of the arena.

Kress, a dark horse player, has become the well-deserved number one favorite in Hesmu City.

"Kress Zac, fighting against the knights of the Empire's "Kun Ding" mercenary group."

"One pays thirty."

At the entrance of the arena, official vendors were still shouting about odds and popular players.

"Buy all of Kress-sama!"

A beautiful blond girl appeared and put a large bag of gold coins on the gambling table in the direction of Kress.

Vendors have seen a lot.

This woman named "Rubia" is like this in almost every game, betting all the money on Kress Knight.

then……

I saw her go from a few copper coins all the way to the big bag of gold coins now.

However, this time, the merchant felt that...

You are more likely to win.
