Chapter 984: Choosing Opponents (Part One)

Fei quickly interrupted Shaarawy and said, “Ok, ok, ok. We can talk about this later. You guys should deal with your issue first.”

The king didn’t know if he should laugh or cry.

Shaarawy opened his mouth again but quickly shook his head in disappointment.

Instead of persuading the king further, this young lord turned around and said to Collina and Henning, “You two, you can each pick an opponent; we won’t fight you with more people. Now if you die in a one-on-one battle, you can’t say that we bullied you, and you should die willingly without holding grudges.”

Now, Collina became calmer and calmer.

Since he saw death as a path to peace and wasn’t frantic, others’ opinion of him got even better.

Collina shook his head and said firmly, “There is no need; you guys can attack together. We are children of the god, and we don’t fear powerful enemies and evil. At this moment where the honor of God must be protected, I, Collina, will never back off. Evil will one day be eliminated by justice.”

Shaarawy said in contempt, “Stop joking around. What are you pretending for? Do you think nobles of level 9 empires like us will attack you with the numbers advantage like what you guys do? That is despicable and shameless. We created this plan just to have a chance to fight fair and square. Stop wasting time on talking. Out of the five of us, you can pick an opponent. If you win, you can leave here alive.”

“Really?” Fat Henning was elated, and his ‘intelligence’ was displayed again. He couldn’t wait and pointed at Shaarawy while shouting, “I pick you! I pick you! If I win, you will really let me leave?”

Henning wanted to quickly pick Shaarawy since this young lord was quite injured in the prior battle, and he had been chased for tens of thousands of kilometers, depleting a lot of warrior energy. It seemed like he was the weakest among the five young lords, so Henning thought that his chance of survival was higher when fighting Shaarawy.

Collina shook his head, and so did Fei.

Henning was really dumber than a pig.

What kind of a person was Shaarawy?

None of the masters here right now were simple figures. The five young lords were famous and influential in the Central Region, and there was a reason for it.

Pato, Milito, and others didn’t interrupt Shaarawy and went along with his suggestion; it meant that they agreed with this young lord.

None of these young lords were dumb, and they must have considered Shaarawy’s current situation.

Every one of them was mighty and had great confidence. If Henning thought that he got an easy target since Shaarawy was injured, he just sought death.

With a disgusted expression, Shaarawy spat and said in displeasure, “Damn, it is going to be me who has to kill a no-balls coward like you; there will be no sense of achievement. Besides, my hands will be dirtied. However, what I said is set in stone. Come on, if you can take three strikes from me, you can leave here alive.”

“Hahahaha! You said that yourself!” Henning was elated, and a vicious smile appeared on his face.

“I have hidden strength, so taking three strikes isn’t going to be a problem.”

“This little kid of the AC Milan Empire sure is arrogant. Hehe, after I successfully leave here, I will instantly get in contact with the rest of the Execution Department and other masters of the Holy Church. I will come back for revenge and kill these heretics. Also, that King of Chambord. Don’t you care a lot about your two women? I must get them and play with them! You are only the king of a little affiliated kingdom and the bishop of a shrine that is going to go extinct. What can you do to me?” Henning thought to himself and already started to plan his revenge.

Chapter 984: Choosing Opponents (Part Two)

Full of confidence, Henning started to chant and summon a ton of magic shields. Then, he slowly floated into the air as he cast holy power magic spells.

As a high-level member of the Holy Church, he knew many powerful offensive magic spells. He was going to use offensive spells as a defense and get through Shaarawy’s three strikes.

…

“I choose him.” After a moment of silence, Collina made his decision. He pointed at that fresh-looking, middle-aged man who always had a vague smile on his face, and this man was thin and had a long braid behind his head while short hair on the top and sides of his head.

Rodrigo Palacio, a young lord of the Inter Milan Empire.

Compared to people like Pato and Shaarawy, Palacio whose nickname was [Wind-Chasing Wolf] achieved new height when he was older. He was from a poor family, and he had been a traveling warrior when he was young. He hadn’t been famous back then, and his life wasn’t enjoyable. Later, Palacio showcased impressive strength and saved Emperor Moratti of Inter Millan during an assassination attempt from a political enemy. From that moment on, Palacio was greatly valued, and his status skyrocketed.

Out of the four remaining young lords, Palacio was less famous, and his aura seemed weaker as well, making others feel like he was the weakest among these young lords. That was why Collina picked him.

At this moment, only idiots wouldn’t pick the easy target.

Even though Collina’s speech was heroic and passionate, he still made the best decision when faced with death; it is human nature.

Palacio’s expression didn’t change at all.

As if he had anticipated this, this man with a long braid behind his head lightly moved to get ready, and he appeared beside Collina in the next second without saying a word, leaving an afterimage at where he was standing before.

Then, dozens of shadows and phantoms appeared around Collina, attacking this execution oracle together.

Such speed!

Two battles almost start at the same time.

…

Fei had been observing this from the side with cold eyes.

Since Pato and other three young lords appeared, Fei lost interest in the actual battles. Instead, he started to observe these five most talented warriors from the Central Region.

Pato, Milito, Palacio, Cassano, and Shaarawy… these five people were the martial gods in the minds of billions of warriors in the Central Region. They were like idols who were worshipped by many.

On the List of Young Lords, all five of them ranked higher than Fei. Their names were passed around like wind, but it was rare to see them in person.

Now seeing them for the first time, the king had to admit that famous people all had talents.

[Little Pharaoh] Shaarawy was violent yet valiant like a burning fire; [Ice Lord] Pato was haughty and unreachable like an iceberg; [Prince] Milito was heroic, broad, and dull yet powerful; [Wind-Chasing Wolf] Palacio was cold and fresh like a gale; and [Strange Being] Cassano was unpredictable.

These five people were all at the top in terms of strength and presence.

Only these true masters who were proud, confident, and a little arrogant dared to directly face off the mammoth-like Holy Church.

In the last while, it was heard that these people all died under the hunt of the Holy Church, and Fei felt a little pity toward them.

Now, it seemed like these talented young lords only faked their death to deal with the Holy Church.

If Fei weren’t wrong, the word ‘we’ that frequently appeared in Shaarawy’s speech didn’t only represent these five people; there should be an even more terrifying force behind them.
