Chapter 312 Death Battle Group

Night fell.

It was a resting time for many professionals.

William and his companions returned to their log cabin.

According to the legendary professionals, meditating was rest, and a good living environment was not required.

William could not do anything as the organizers were the top four power centers. They could do anything they want. Moreover, they had not invited the contestants to participate.

It was already good enough to have a place to stay and food to eat.

However, the contestants were daily served seafood. Those professionals without space rings almost vomited out the seafood!

The contestants of the City of Dawn gathered together. Diablo dully looked at the grilled, stewed, and fried fish and wanted to ask what he was eating today.

William suddenly took out a magical beast goat that had been skinned and cleaned of the internal organs.

However, it was blood-stained, and the stench of the goat was strong.

The preservation effect of the space ring was very powerful.

The stench could be detected even from hundreds of meters away.

For meat-lovers, this would be a delicious gourmet.

Diablo, Annie, and Alec glanced at the skinned goat and then looked at Burned Cinder, who swallowed hard. They seemed interested in the seafood again.

“Cough, this goat …”

“I don’t want to eat goat meat today, I want to eat fish.”

“Yes, I’m not hungry.” Annie shook her head and walked off with disgust. She took out a little snack from the space ring and nibbled it like a little squirrel.

William gazed at Diablo and asked, “Are you going to eat the goat meat?”

“Hey, of course, I’ll eat. I didn’t expect Lord William to remember that I like roasted goat meat. It’s not easy to catch a goat.”

Burned Cinder grinned. He had gotten over his defeat today.

He graciously accepted the defeat.

There was no need to look for excuses.

He would train hard to improve upon his weakness.

It was not the end of the competition, even if Burned Cinder lost a battle in the semi-finals.

He had a chance for a comeback.

William snapped a finger at Diablo.

A metal stake appeared, and it penetrated the goat from the head to the buttocks.

Burned Cinder extended his hands and engulfed the goat with a continuous flame.

The fire was evenly distributed over the goat, and the flames did not waver.

It would only take ten minutes to cook an entire goat.

Burned Cinder hesitated before he asked, “Is Andros from the Palace of Darkness really that strong?”

Both Diablo and Alec looked at William for an answer.

Annie sat by the side, as she perked her ears to listen to William’s opinions.

William had proven his worth in the Magic Conference, and he was considered the most powerful Advanced professional in the City of Dawn.

His opponents had not been as tough, agile, and fast as William. Even their long-distance skills were not comparable to William’s sharpshooting skills…

Everyone present had fought with William before, and they knew that William was growing stronger and stronger.

They wanted to know how powerful Andros was.

Why was the gap between the top Advanced professionals so great?

William turned over the roasted goat meat and stroked his chin. “Endowment.”

“I feel that my endowment is pretty good too,” Alec said and immediately shut his mouth.

Everyone believed that they were the top professionals in the world.

But in the southeastern region…

The City of Dawn had ruled over the region, but it was getting too small.

There was a limited number of Advanced professionals.

Even with the magic resurgence and many professionals having a breakthrough, they were unable to catch up with the Advanced professional, Burned Cinder, no matter how hard they trained.

William had brought them to the Magic Conference to let them gain experience so that they would not be complacent.

“Are you saying that his endowment is much stronger than ours?” Burned Cinder asked.

“That’s what I meant. I guess you’ve read some knight novels.

“Many professionals were geniuses at the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.

“But as they progress, the differences become very obvious.

“A few talents had endowments during the Beginner and Intermediate levels that were superior to geniuses of the same level.

“Such professionals were called…”

“Disposition of a Sage,” Diablo answered first, so William rewarded him with a raw goat’s thigh…

“Yes!” William said, “In fact, Delosis, who is the top-seeded in the intelligence report, and Andros, who performed very well today, both of them had shown the Disposition of a Sage.

“It’s also commonly known as the Sage’s Potential!”

“If this is the case… then the difference is too large. I thought I could be a sage.” Burned Cinder was no longer depressed.

If Andros had the Disposition of a Sage, then it was justified that he lost.

“Tsk, tsk! You intend to be a sage, even though you’re only an Advanced professional? Why don’t you become a God?”

Burned Cinder shrugged his shoulders and said, “I do intend to be a God, but there is no way to become one, so I’ll settle for a sage.”

“Bah!” William pouted and said, “There is hope. Attain the Epic profession first.”

William did not speak any further. Andros was very different from what he recalled.

In William’s previous life, Andros had been a legendary BOSS, but he was not that powerful, and he had died in a plot. Then he was turned into the BOSS of an Instance Dungeon and was killed many times by the players.

William knew what moves Andros was going to make just by his posture.

But all of Andros’ moves were different when he fought with Burned Cinder.

Besides the childish face that had not weathered much, everything about him had changed.

Burned Cinder had been a legendary BOSS who had survived many game versions. Later, he had become a powerful Epic professional that was comparable to a strong stallion.

But now, Burned Cinder lost to Andros. So, something was not right.

However, most of the professionals from the Palace of Darkness had been using drugs, transformations, and sacrifices in their lives. There were many ways to become powerful in the Gods’ continent in a short time. William could not figure out what was going on for the time being

“But Andros’ changes in this year’s Magic Conference are too great. Is my butterfly effect that strong?” William looked at the roasted goat, which was almost done. He sprinkled some salt, applied some hot sauce, and stopped brooding.

Crunch!

Chewing sounds were heard.

It tasted great.

The meat was tender and delicious. It had the maiden fragrance of fresh grass.

This magical beast had another name, Fairy Goat!

William nibbled at the thighs of the goat.

He decided not to worry.

He would take things as they came.

He had everything at his disposal to fight with his opponents.

He still had a lot of special moves that had not been revealed.

In any case, William would try to obtain the first place.

Whether it was the reincarnation of God, Delosis, or the powerful Andros, he would try to defeat them.

Each contestant had to fight three battles in the semi-finals.

Only the top 32 contestants would proceed to the finals.

A contestant with three victories would directly enter the finals.

The remaining contestants would compete in additional rounds to determine the winners for the finals.

There were now 100 contestants in the semi-finals.

If the players took part in the competition, they would be astonished by the number of powerful Epic and Legendary professionals…

Because Legendary BOSSES composed 80% of the 100 contestants!

There were simply too many powerful professionals.

It was the southern region, after all…

According to estimates, there were about 300 to 500 Humans who were Advanced Legendary professionals.

When comparing professionals of the same bloodline, NPCs depended on equipment, occupation classes, and endowments to obtain victories.

Or an odd professional depended on impressive Luck Points for the victory.

For example, a lucky professional was able to obtain critical hits while sustaining minimal damage…

Even so, a dazzling and thrilling battle was still very enticing to the observers.

Burned Cinder and other powerful NPCs had gained enormous experience points…

The professionals of the City of Dawn were extremely outstanding.

Lord William had obtained three consecutive victories, so he directly proceeded to the finals.

The Moonlight Elven princess, Annie, also had three straight wins and proceeded to the finals.

Diablo had the same results and entered the finals.

Burned Cinder lost his first battle, but he obtained two consecutive victories. In the additional knockout rounds, he managed to enter the finals with a strong win margin.

The professionals of the City of Dawn took up four spots out of 32 in the finals.

In this Magic Conference, the City of Dawn had become famous.

So many professionals defected to the city. Most were Advanced professionals, while only a few were Grandmaster or Epic professionals. Legendary professionals had to be impressed; otherwise, it was difficult for them to defect.

Whether these professionals managed to become legion commanders or deputy legion commanders in the regular legions or mercenaries in the Dawn Mercenary Team, it was still a good prospect.

Most importantly, the City of Dawn was very wealthy!

The salary of the professionals in the City of Dawn was comparable to those of the top power centers.

The only drawback of the City of Dawn was the lack of rich resources. The raw materials for professionals had to be purchased from other locations.

However, it was not a big deal to the professionals.

Because many professionals did not like the power centers like the Temple of Light and the Magic Sanctuary.

It did not make any differences when they joined the top four power centers, as the leaders would not pay any attention to them. It would not cause a drain on resources either.

The professionals thought it was better to join a rising faction and reap the benefits.

It was better to be an important professional in a small rising faction, rather than an insignificant professional in a powerful faction…

The professionals could choose to join the mercenaries instead of the regular legions. There were no time constraints. As and when the professionals felt like it, they could leave…

Unfortunately, the City of Dawn that was busy recruiting talents had been overshadowed by Andros, who was possessed by the Viscount of Darkness.

He was like a dark horse.

In the semi-finals, he easily defeated all his opponents, including the top-ten seeded contestants and outstanding contestants in the preliminaries.

The competition observers realized that the extremely brutal Andros could be a potential champion.

In the three battles of the semi-finals, he gained a lot of supporters, whose numbers eclipsed the supporters of William and Delosis.

When Burned Cinder made his way into the finals, it proved that he was powerful. However, Andros was also made to appear more powerful.

The finals commenced officially on the ninth day.

The 32 finalists were organized into 16 groups.

The allocated name lists were being sent out.

After reading the list, everyone felt that there was a deep malicious intent towards Lord of Dawn!

It was a Death Battle Group!

William was matched against the fifth-seeded Brooke West, a contestant of the Mercenary Guild.

At the same time, Annie was matched against the third-seeded Sardin Peak.

Diablo was to fight the dark horse (Viscount of Darkness), Andros.

Burned Cinder met the opponent he wanted the most.

It was the top-seeded Delosis, who was also a fire element professional.
