Chapter 11 The Strongest Warrior in History!
No one could see his figure clearly.
Even those close attendants of the King of Argos who had been awarded the honors of "silver" and "gold".
They all stared intently at the figures below with grave expressions.
Everyone was stunned into silence.
That is definitely not something that can be done by human power.
Even the most renowned and naturally gifted freaks cannot shatter hard bronze with the fists of ordinary people!
The silence lasted for a long time.
"Ya...Yarah wins."
The priest belatedly declared Arah the victor.
Soon, the judges who were conducting the selection process also realized what was happening and stepped forward to inquire.
"Yara, next you'll be testing... your war potential..."
"I won't go yet."
Yara endured the itching and pain of her ribs slowly healing, panting heavily.
"Bring up the Golden Warriors!"
"I want to take on ten!"
He shouted at the King of Argos.
The nobles were also stunned. They had never seen such an arrogant person. The guards gripped their bronze swords tightly and stared at Yara below as if facing a formidable enemy.
The King of Argos raised his hand, signaling to his guards not to be too nervous.
He then nodded to the attendant beside him and said,
"Just do as he says."
"Eight Silver Warriors and two Gold Warriors."
"this..."
Not only the servants, but the nobles were also dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, he indeed defeated a bronze warrior with incredible strength..."
"But it's not like one person has to take on ten high-ranking honorary warriors."
The King of Argos didn't say much, only uttering a single, understated sentence.
"Let's observe and see."
"Perhaps we will witness the first time in Argos' history..."
"The strongest warrior is born..."
...
As Yara wished.
Ten warriors, fully armed, entered the duel arena.
They surrounded him.
Yara took a deep breath and silently prayed—
"God is supreme..."
He then suddenly opened his eyes, glaring at his opponents like a lion.
"superior!"
At a command.
Ten of the kingdom's top experts launched an attack simultaneously.
Several spears and several bronze swords.
It pierced straight at Yara's vitals!
At this time, the effects of Yara's [Resurrection from Suffering] had not yet dissipated.
Even though he was not injured yet.
Yet it still possesses terrifying strength that cannot be ignored.
Yara seized the opportunity and pounced on one of the slower sword-wielders.
These high-ranking honored warriors truly live up to their high rank.
The punch that the Bronze Warrior hadn't even had a chance to dodge before was actually dodged by him on instinct.
Yara's punch missed its mark, but it exploded with a deafening roar.
The other warriors seized upon Yara's momentary opening.
Countless attacks slammed into Yara's back.
One of the spears pierced Yara's abdomen!
The immense pain, accompanied by blood and convulsions, was unbearable for Yara, almost causing him to kneel on the ground. The pain once again overwhelmed him...
However, God gave a miraculous blessing that day, [the resurrection of suffering].
At the moment when the pain reaches its peak.
They launched another brazen attack!
The pain was several times more intense than before.
It transformed into a power several times stronger than before.
The gruesome wounds that penetrated deep into his internal organs were healed by his powerful regenerative abilities.
The flesh and tissue were actually wriggling and recovering like worms!
A 'ᚾ' pattern flashed briefly in my eyes—
The power is expanding, expanding without end...
In an instant.
His power has long surpassed the limits that mortals can reach!
If we were to bestow upon Yara, in his current state, a new title that transcends the realm of 'warrior',
That would be—
[hero].
"Down!"
Yara roared.
At the same time, he suddenly unleashed a punch into the void!
Thud—
Deafening!
The atmosphere was forced into an arc-shaped airflow, and the air pressure was compressed to its extreme in that instant.
That punch was clearly only thrown in mid-air.
That punch clearly didn't hit them at all.
And in the next moment.
The ten fully armed warriors, honored by the Kingdom, were all sent flying backwards.
Even weapons slipped from his hands, and his armor was covered in tiny cracks.
Blood was flowing from his mouth and nose.
They all fainted...
The battle ended amidst billowing smoke and dust.
"One punch..."
"He only used one punch..."
"You defeated all ten honored warriors?"
The nobles were collectively shocked.
Immediately, I was gripped by a deep fear—
"monster..."
"That's a monster, a Nemean lion in human skin!"
Even the King of Argos opened his mouth slightly at this moment.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Clearly, Yara's terrifying strength had exceeded his expectations...
I thought...
Yara is at most at the level of a Silver or Gold Warrior...
However, looking at it now...
I'm afraid even if all the warriors in the world joined forces...
No one can defeat this man...
This man who calls himself 'Messiah' and boasts of being a lion.
King Argos couldn't help but wonder if he had spoken too harshly yesterday...
"Yara wins..." the priest declared.
Then, the King of Argos forced himself to remain calm, at least in front of these nobles, he had to appear to be in complete control.
So he calmly gave the following instructions:
"Let's test its war potential again."
...
The test of war potential took place in the main hall not far from the training ground.
It's right next to the temple.
Therefore, it was operated by the priests and managed by the high priest.
The high priest bowed respectfully to the King of Argos, then, holding his staff, followed beside him.
The priests led Yara to the testing ground.
Because of the terrifying strength and extraordinary speed that Yara had previously displayed in the arena.
Therefore, the King of Argos ordered this step to be canceled... Currently, the kingdom does not have a precise way to test the limits of Ara's strength and speed, so there is no need for it.
All you need to do is use the Magic Crystal Instrument to test Yara's potential.
"Simply place your hand on the magic crystal," the priest instructed. "The stronger the potential of those individuals, the stronger the light emitted by the magic crystal will be."
Following the priest's instructions, Yara placed her hand on the crystal-clear, lustrous stone before her, which resembled jade.
King Argos, however, turned to ask the high priest beside him.
Do you know which God is?
The high priest pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied:
"Your Majesty, none of the temple's books explicitly mention which god holds the title of 'God'..."
"But if I had to force myself to say..."
"Perhaps only Zeus can make a rough explanation."
"He is the ruler of the sky."
"He can certainly be called 'God' as well."
King Argos seemed to be deep in thought.
"So...his power might have come from Zeus?"
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
And at that very moment.
The dazzling golden light shone brightly in the hall, and everyone instinctively covered their eyes.
This situation took everyone by surprise.
The priest was at a loss.
They had never seen anything like it before.
"How could it be golden light?"
"Aren't magic crystals supposed to only emit white light?"
Then a sudden change occurred—
The magic crystal exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing a terrifying heatwave that knocked everyone to the ground.
"Protect His Majesty!"
The guards quickly drew their swords and stood in front of King Argos.
"Protect me my ass! I'm already blown up!"
King Argos got up and angrily kicked several guards in the backside.
"What happened?"
The priest and the high priest were also puzzled.
He coughed violently as he got up from the ground.
As the black smoke gradually dissipated, Yara slowly emerged from it—
He is fine.
But he was surprised to find that...
The magic crystal transformed into a pure power, slowly merging into his limbs and bones.
This power is different from the temporary enhancement granted to him by [Resurrection from Suffering].
It gradually improved Yara's physical condition until the power was completely digested and absorbed by Yara's body and soul...
It thoroughly, but subtly, amplified Yara's original physical state.
"In the future, we can pay more attention to magic crystals."
Feeling the changes in her body, Yara murmured
