Upon the death of the man that was known as unseen fist, the audion was in shock. They rarely have seen someone dying in this event, not even considering the brutality of how he died.

The weak-minded had their breakfast and make their way towards their throat to withness freedom once more. Which lead to some turning around to puke, with some guy receiving the whole service on top of his cloth.

Such reaction was natural from seeing the organs of another man coming out for everyone to see.

Of course, such a reaction was the minority.

The others only felt an instance of disgust before they gave their focus on the other people who fought with strength that they would never achieve in their lives.

At the very least that´s what they decided to believe.

Such intense fights allowed them to fill the childhood of many men by becoming powerhouses and doing such battles where spells reigned the skies and people with the speed of gods fought back.

But even that unfilling desires there soon hit the cruel reality.

Moving to his next opponent, not even a few minutes into the fight, the dark armored figure who has Danzel similarly executed his opponents to his past prey.

The blood that stained his armor and sword together with his cold aura around him send chills through their spines.

Just the imagination of fighting an opponent like the dark armored figure and dying in his hand made the dreams of the audion fade away.

Of course, the people who were in the arena and kept watch on him felt a sense of a real threat.

It has to be said that some hoped that the martial artist and the dark knight had a bad relationship or their fight was too intense which forced the winner to kill their opponent.

But once the second victim has made his appearance, everyone understood that the dark knight wasn´t just looking to pass the first test.

He also aimed to kill everyone else present in the arena!

Once the dark knight moved to his third opponent who just finished his fight, the poor guy felt a bad proportion and a hint of fear coming from his heart.

Raising his swords, the man gulped as he stared at the bloodied knight.

"Hey man, though I don´t know why killed those two guys. Let´s keep our match like a spar, alright? There is no reason to make this personal, no?" The man tried to sound confident and indirectly put a threat in his suggestion, alas his voice betrayed the fact that he was nervous.

Unfortanently, it wasn´t much effective.

Pointing his sword towards him, Danzel's cold voice made the man flinch.

"Cross swords with me and you shall end like those two guys over there. Don´t expect mercy from me."

`He is crazy.´ The man cursed himself for finding such an opponent. His gaze moved around the arena to find another opponent till the cloaked woman yelled for everyone to hear.

"I forgot to mention! Anyone who refuses to deal with the opponent in front of you, will by default fail our recruitment.

Danzel opponent opened his mouth in surprise by hearing that. Turning his head towards the cloaked figure and seeing her staring in their direction, he realized that this rule was aimed at him!

`This bitch!´

He originally planned to change his target to someone else instead of facing the psychopath in front of him.

Now though he only had two choices.

Retire and lose the opportunity to make connections with the mercenaries group or fight.

If he had to choose the latter, he knew that it will be a fight to the death with only one coming out of it alive.

Gritting his teeth, he opened his mouth to accept the challenge, but once he started toward the dark knight, the words in his throat couldn´t come out.

"I-I concede..." Lowering his gaze to the ground, he hastens his steps to move away from the arena.

The cloaked woman who saw this sighted in disappointed as much as Danzel did.

While she felt disappointed for having another idiot jumping to his death, Danzel was for the fact that a big juice source of XP was walking away.

His disappointment though was short-lived as the next opponent decided to fight instead of running away like the other guy.

Not even 5 minutes later, his corpse found itself on the ground.

Seeing the five digging numbers in the notification made him grin.

`Hours of work made just in mere minutes.´ Danzel thought as he calmed down his excitement to go and collect the other crops waiting to be harvested by him.

Watching the massacre happening from the sidelines, the guy who decided to not fight Danzel shivered abnormally.

Knowing that he just escaped the grips of death, the man disappeared from the scene.

****

Currently, in the arena, a man with a shield and a mace stomped the ground, making the sand nearby rise through the air.

"Haah!"

Swinging his mace down to the air followed by his battle cry, a huge knight made out of light holding a mace appeared behind him and copied the man's action.

Moving back and dodging the huge mace made out of light, Danzel crumpled to himself.

`This one is annoying.´ Danzel thought as he send out two dark green wind blades at his opponent.

And as expected, the giant knight of light other arm materialized a shield from the same light, completely blocking his wind blades.

Being the only ones left in the arena, the two of them had all the space for themself to use, which made things much easier for Danzel.

Many conceded once they came across him and his current kill count was that of 6 headcounts.

Even though he was superior to all other people, some with weird skills who also decided to fight him, made him take much longer with a mage taking most of his time to defeat.

But that was about it.

In all his fights, he held complete dominance over his opponents.

The man in front of him though was different.

Using light magic that undead was naturally weak was already a treat on its own.

Though the moment the giant knight appeared, Danzel couldn't close the distance without putting himself in harm.

"I guess it can't be helped." Danzel said.

Seeing no other solution, Danzel changed his path and dashed in a straight line to the man.

A surprised look was to be seen on the man's face as he couldn't understand the dark knight's sudden behavior.

That though didn't stop him from swinging his mace from high up, down to the ground to crush his opponent with the help of his giant.

"That's vengeance for the others!"

Once the mace made out of light closed into Danzel, a sudden shock wave made the surrounding sand be pushed away, making it for the others looking from the side not to see clearly.

"He did it!"

"The holy avatar won over the dark knight!"

The crowd exploded in cheers as they watched the knight made out of light disappear.

Everyone witnessed the destructive power of its swings and they knew that even the dark knight couldn't survive such a direct hit.

While some mourn for losing their bets placed on the dark knight, others celebrated the fact they won big time.

Since the winning chance of the man with the mace was lower than that of the dark knights, the people who bet on him received a big sum of gold coins.

At least that would have been the case if it wasn't for the fact of the dark knight having his sword pierced in the man's throat.

"H-How...." That was the last words of the man nicknamed holy avatar.

Going a few seconds back in time...

The moment the light mace was upon Danzel's head, a bubble light barrier appeared and blocked the mace from crushing him on the spot.

The strike was so strong that the barrier showed cracks.

As the barrier absorbed the whole impact, Danzel was able to close the distance to the man.

Knowing he was in danger, the man put his shield forward and blocked the first swing.

The man was ready to retaliate by seeing on his mace to the dark knight's head.

The less he would have expected was the appearance of another sword in his other hand.

Taken by surprise, Danzel pierced the man's heart with a dark blade.

The moment he did so, another blade pierced him through his heart once more from behind.

Feelings his mental and physical strength rapidly decreasing, he couldn't avoid Danzel thrusting his sword through his neck.

Making his dark sword disappear in his storage ring and the sword that was pierced from behind disappear too.

They were now in the present.

Where Danzel looked in front at the notification if front of him.

[You received 89 000 XP]

Making the notification disappear, he gazed at the corpse in front of him.

Or rather, in the shield that it had equipped.

"I wanted to save this barrier for later use, but oh well..."

Crouching down and removing the shield of the corpse Danzel nodded satisfied.

"That should be enough compensation for now..."

As he equipped the shield, a sound of clatching hands appeared behind him.

"Well done, with you being the only one remaining. You will be moving to the second test.

Having almost forgotten for the reason of being here in the first place, Danzel looked at the cloaked woman and nodded in response.
