But when the young man's voice came, Lunds's expression changed drastically.
Because what the young man chanted was not the lightning strike of the third-order magic, but the dragon lightning of the fifth-order magic!
The guy in front of me is actually a hero who has reached the realm of extrahuman beings!
Those who can cast fifth-order magic are given the title of hero.
What is a hero?
Those who reach realms that ordinary people cannot reach, and accomplish things that ordinary people cannot accomplish, are called heroes.
And this guy in front of me, dressed in a white magic robe, has actually reached this level of strength?
A white light rose, and lightning intertwined with the white light. Under the desperate gaze of Lundes, a white lightning bolt, like a flying dragon, suddenly appeared on Roya's right hand. Lightning and electricity surged fiercely, emitting a dazzling light.
An aura of destruction, compressed to its extreme, emanated from the area, sending chills down Lunders' spine.
The next moment, with a flick of Roya's finger, the terrifying lightning vanished in an instant, and the violent lightning surged towards the fleeing soldiers at the forefront.
“Aaaaaaaaaaa…!”
The knight was instantly enveloped in lightning, his entire body radiating dazzling white light and violent lightning, and he let out a shrill scream.
Before long, the knight fell straight down like a charred piece of charcoal, smoking.
The dragon's lightning had a wide range, and almost all the soldiers in the front row were killed in that instant.
All the charging soldiers halted in their tracks, and a feeling called fear began to spread, gradually taking over their minds.
Bellius's expression turned extremely ugly at this moment. He shouted at Lunders in disbelief, "Wasn't it already decided? It was just a simple mission to wipe out the surrounding villages, so why did such a powerful guy appear?"
"Damn it, stop yelling! I can't believe my eyes!" Lundes roared, and the knights could even hear the tremor in his voice.
Fifth-order magic, which can only be used by heroes who transcend humanity and reach the realm beyond human beings, has now appeared before them and stands on the opposite side.
Roya raised his eyes, looked at the knights in front of him who were now in a daze, their faces filled with despair, and grinned, revealing a mocking smile.
"Boxer briefs, boxer briefs (a reference to JoJo, meaning too weak), you guys are making it impossible for me to enjoy myself."
The arena was silent; no one dared to speak. At that moment, Lundez was also utterly despondent.
Roya didn't care what these guys thought and continued, "Well then, since you're not coming over, I'll go over there myself."
After saying that, he walked forward slowly.
Their pace was unhurried and quite leisurely, but the people in the room were anything but relaxed.
When death is truly confronted, how many of these well-trained soldiers can remain calm?
Some retreated, some ran away, some cried and begged for mercy, and some wept bitterly.
The scene was in complete chaos; fleeing knights were killed, shouting soldiers were killed, and retreating soldiers were also killed.
This naturally includes Bellius.
Soon, only one person remained in the arena.
That was the only one left after the purge of Roya who still had any backbone, and that was Lundez.
His legs were trembling, and he looked like he might collapse at any moment, but even so, he stood up shakily.
Roya walked up to Lundes and curiously looked at the seemingly principled guy in front of him.
Luo Ya asked, "Aren't you going to run away?"
After a moment of silence, Lunds replied, "They can't escape."
Luo Ya smiled and continued to ask, "Why don't you try begging for mercy? Maybe I'll let you go if I'm in a better mood?"
At this moment, Lunds remained silent.
Roya shrugged and then said, "Let's see if you can kill me."
This time, Lunds managed to squeeze out a single word with great difficulty.
"it is good."
Three seconds later, a corpse fell to the ground, its chest pierced instantly by the magic wand.
Roya flicked the blood off his wand, glanced at the corpses of knights strewn around him, and after confirming that no knights were lying on the ground pretending to be dead, looked at the villagers who were looking around in the center of the village.
The villagers' expressions varied: some were relieved to have survived the ordeal, others were grateful for Luo Ya's help, but most wore a faint look of fear and admiration.
That is fear of the strong, and that is also worship of the strong.
Roya didn't take it seriously. He raised his wand and waved it casually. The clods of earth rose up, and the corpses lying on the ground began to be swallowed up by the soil little by little. Soon, all the corpses on the ground disappeared without a trace.
Chapter 397 [The Strongest Warrior]
The villagers who were originally going to help collect the body were slightly taken aback, and a somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on their faces. They scratched their heads and chuckled a few times.
After handling the funeral arrangements, Luo Ya looked at the villagers in front of him.
Their gazes lingered for a moment on the face of the little girl they had previously rescued; both of them wore expressions of deep gratitude and admiration.
Instead of staring at the other person, Luo Ya shouted at the villagers, "Where is your village chief? Where is he?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man walked out. He had a white beard, a hunched back, and was holding a cane. He looked to be in relatively good spirits, even though he had just been on the verge of death.
The old man approached Luo Ya and bowed deeply, saying respectfully, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, the village would have been doomed. All of the more than one hundred people in the village would probably have perished here today."
Roya didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the bow. If it weren't for his help, the village would have been in grave danger. So, Roya accepted the bow without hesitation.
Luo Ya didn't let the old village chief bow for long. Feeling it was about time, he reached out and helped the old man up, while smiling warmly and saying, "It was nothing, no need for that."
The old man snapped at the two girls behind him, "Anli, aren't you going to come over and thank your benefactor?"
Luo Ya was about to reach out to stop them, but the two little girls had already walked behind the village chief and bowed to Luo Ya again in gratitude.
Luo Ya shook his head helplessly, but seeing their firm attitude, he went with them.
The village chief chatted with Luo Ya about various things, and at the same time took out two gold coins as a reward. It was clear that these two gold coins were very important to the village chief, and when he took them out, you could feel that he was obviously reluctant to part with them.
Luo Ya accepted the two gold coins without hesitation, since, to be honest, he was currently quite short of the world's currency.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Luo Ya take the money, but hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "Um, I wonder if you could help us again?"
Seemingly afraid that Roya would be unhappy, the village chief quickly added, "Of course, it's okay if you refuse."
Luo Ya shrugged and casually said, "Tell me about it, and see if I have time."
The village chief visibly delighted and then said, "As you know, our village is very weak and insignificant. Facing a regular army like the one we just encountered, we are no match for them. We are like fish on a chopping board, at their mercy. I was thinking, if possible, could you stay for a while and help us with the aftermath?"
At this point, the village chief gritted his teeth again and said, "Of course, it will only take a few days. After it's done, the village will offer you a reward. I hope you won't refuse."
At this point, the village chief pleaded in an almost begging tone.
Luo Ya was not a cold-blooded person. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
There are still some troubles, of course. The real boss hasn't shown up yet. If we leave these guys alone, we're probably doomed.
Just as Luo Ya and the village chief were discussing, the sound of horses' hooves soon came from afar, and another group of people was approaching.
Roya extended his magical power to sense the situation and found that the other party was not the same group as before. To be precise, the other party was a fish that had been lured in by the bait.
Having just experienced a major battle, the villagers were filled with fear upon hearing such sounds, fearing it might be another massacre targeting them.
However, after seeing Luo Ya talking at the village entrance, the panic in his heart did indeed subside considerably.
If Roya were here, there would definitely be no problem.
This is what everyone in the village is thinking right now.
The chaotic sound of horses' hooves quickly grew louder and reached everyone's ears. Standing at the village entrance and looking out, they soon saw a group of people dressed in armor and carrying weapons.
Upon seeing people dressed like that again, although everyone present had some expectations, they were still taken aback by the sheer number of people on the other side, and their faces turned pale.
The village chief's expression was also not good. He looked at the group of people in the distance and muttered, "It's truly one wave after another. What a turbulent time!"
The bolder villagers began to peek out towards the direction from which the sound came. When the group of people got closer, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief after seeing their faces clearly with his cloudy eyes.
They were a group of cavalrymen whose armament was far inferior to that of the previous knights.
They did not wear standard armor or carry uniform weapons, but instead freely mixed and matched different equipment. Some wore only a set of chainmail, while others wore leather armor, giving a chaotic impression.
Not only their clothing, but also their weapons were different. Some were equipped with swords that looked the same, while others were equipped with bows and arrows, pistols, maces and other spare weapons. These weapons were varied, but in terms of sheer presence, they were no less imposing than the previous group of knights.
Of course, even so, the villagers' first impression of these guys was that they were generally weaker than their opponents, giving off a feeling of wandering knights.
The number of cavalry was very small, only twenty or thirty men. In terms of numbers alone, it was about half that of the last attack.
As the group approached, the dust they had raised began to settle. The village chief glanced at Roya and, seeing that Roya had no intention of speaking to him, he had no choice but to muster his courage and approach them, asking somewhat tentatively, "Who are you?"
The knights exchanged glances, and then their gazes involuntarily fell on one person.
He was a middle-aged man, probably around thirty years old, with a very strong physique. He was riding a warhorse, wearing a breastplate, and carrying a heavy-looking sword on his back. He had a standard square face and a rather imposing presence.
He looks like a soldier who has experienced many battles, and his temperament is quite remarkable.
Luo Ya sized up the other person for a moment, then stood quietly to the side listening to the conversation between the old village chief and him without saying a word.
Faced with the old village chief's question, the man did not hesitate much. After looking around the village, he said loudly, "I am Gerdev Storno, the warrior captain of the Kingdom of Ri Yestege."
As soon as the words were spoken, the old village chief's face showed surprise. Not only the old village chief, but also the few strong men in the village showed surprise, as if this name was a very important title.
