I Am A Legendary BOSS-Chapter 298 - Norms And Death Group!
Chapter 298 Norms And Death Group!
The Dawn Vessel had braved through rough seas and strong gales. The ship’s hull felt like a small hill on the rolling seas. Thousands of soldiers with high-quality equipment were stationed on the deck.
The two rows of black cannons on the deck inspired fear in observers. What if the cannons explode in a misfire?
Only the strongest brute with the highest defenses could brace themselves for a cannon shot, in front of which, small-sized professionals couldn’t do anything.
“This is the powerful Dawn Vessel. It’s on par with the warships of nearby naval kingdoms.”
“I heard that the City of Dawn has been developing its nautical industry rapidly. It’s really awesome now that I’ve seen its warship.”
“Tsk, tsk! I heard that there are many contestants from the City of Dawn. The city lord is rated the second place in the southern region.”
“Pfff! If the information is useful, do we still have to take part in the Magic Conference? There are so many powerful professionals in the large southern region.
“However, they are not famous. If the City of Dawn had not raised its profile at the Mercenary Guild recently, who would have recognized Lord William?” Some high-profile contestants scoffed.
Not all people were in favor of the City of Dawn or William’s true combat power.
Many professionals had become stronger, and some even had a new lease of life after the magic resurgence.
Hence, they wanted to obtain good standing in the Magic Conference.
They had all arrived on the Island of Light.
The temple of Light had occupied resource-rich islands before, and now the development had been completed. During normal times, there would not be so many guards stationed on the island.
But that day, the top four power centers had deployed many soldiers to stand guard at the Magic Conference’s location. The entire island had been sealed. Besides landing on the harbor, anyone who stepped foot on the island would be mercilessly killed. It was to ensure that nobody would create trouble on the island.
Many ships had been moored at the harbor. But the contestant-filled warship of the Temple of Light was more superior than the warships from other factions that could only sail in the nearby seas.
If these warships sailed too far from the island, there was a chance that they would be shredded to pieces by ocean beasts.
Many warships had been badly damaged, and scratch marks and dents made by the ocean beasts were apparent. Some warships had even sunk in the ocean and became food for the beasts.
Diablo watched the professionals alight at the harbor. Including the queue of professionals going to the competition ground, the number of professionals added to tens of thousands.
He instinctively frowned and asked, “How long is the competition going to last?”
“Didn’t you read the competition rules? We’ll have knock-out rounds where one hundred contestants fight it out in an arena. The final victor will proceed to the next round.”
“It’s the magical fantasy version of winner, winner, chicken dinner.” William shrugged his shoulders.
“What? Eating chicken? Who’s eating whose chicken?” Burned Cinder inhaled a gust of cold air. He was surprised that there was such a reward.
“Get lost.” William pointed his middle finger at him and held Annie’s petite hand, heading towards the competition ground.
As for the Dawn Vessel, it would sail around the surrounding seas while hunting for ocean beasts.
The five Advanced professionals William, Annie, Diablo, Burned Cinder, and Alec, were going to take part in the contest.
However, the City of Dawn had sent no Intermediate or Grandmaster professional.
It could not be helped.
old Leather was not willing to participate.
Sorimas knew very well that even if he transformed into a silver-backed monkey, he would be beaten to a pulp.
As for the Intermediate professionals…
There were no geniuses among the Intermediate professionals of the City of Dawn. There were Epic professionals, but they did not have legendary potential. They would not make it in the Magic Conference.
William and his companions headed to the entrance of the competition ground. Besides those arrogant contestants, many professionals made way for the entourage.
The Temple Knights who were checking registration tokens kept quiet when they noticed William and his companions jumping the queue. But they held out their hands to stop William, “Please produce your registration tokens. You’ve seen the rules of the Magic Conference. Contestants are not allowed to use magic scrolls above their current level. Otherwise, they’ll be disqualified!”
William nodded and abruptly asked, “Yes, I understand. By the way, are our horses allowed?”
“Er, horses?” A Temple Knight used a magic transmission scroll to inquire from his superior before responding, “There are no such rules stated in the Magic Conference, but contestants are not allowed to bring in horses that are above their current level limit!”
“I understand. Can we go in?” William grasped Annie’s hand to give her assurances. Even without the unicorn, Annie would be able to obtain a good standing.
The Elven princess was confident of herself. She waved her hand to let the invisible unicorn leave her so that the unicorn would not be discovered later by powerful professionals.
She did so as the unicorn had become a Grandmaster BOSS…
William and his companions entered a teleportation portal that conducted checks on them. They had to stop for a while, after which the scenes before them changed.
They arrived at a spacious plaza that had no boundary.
Burned Cinder stomped the stone slab underneath his leg with all his might. Then he pouted his lips and said, “The enchantment intensity is very high. Even Advanced professionals can’t damage the stone slabs.”
William laughed inside. The stone slabs could not be damaged as they had been enhanced by enchanters. Without a certain amount of power, even scratches could not be made.
The four top power centers would not produce inferior stone slabs just for appeal. If the contestants were able to break the stone slabs, it just meant that they had superior combat skills.
Most of the time, the competition ground would be intact even after the event…
The barrier around the competition ground was impregnable.
Crowds of contestants gathered at the plaza. Due to the sheer number of people, William was unable to find familiar NPCs.
Of course, there were no spectators for the competition.
Because the Magic Conference was not a Show-business.
The proud professionals would never allow themselves to be treated like monkeys in the circus.
The only spectators were the representatives of the top four power centers.
As the influence of the Magic Conference became greater, in the few Magic Conferences that would come in the future, the empires, kingdoms, and the top races would send their officials to appraise the contestants’ potential and capabilities. This created the chances for unscrupulous transactions.
As it was organized by the top four power centers, the competition would be fair!
The contestants’ fortune would depend on their luck as they were matched randomly!
“Oh, it’s the competition ground for Intermediate and Grandmaster professionals. They’re separating from us.”
“That’s right. Everyone, please take a rest and make your preparations. The Magic Conference doesn’t have messy schedules…” Before William could complete his sentence, an announcement happened.
“The professionals who have entered the competition ground may participate in the contest. Your competition tokens will lead you to your respective competition area. You have only five minutes before you’re disqualified.”
The words had been spoken by a mage who was suspended in the air.
Once he finished speaking, the professionals started moving in the plaza.
It could not be helped.
Time was against them. They had to get ready for the knock-out rounds!
William followed the magical directions provided by the competition token and arrived at a competition arena.
He noticed a lot of familiar faces.
Oh!
It was the Death Group
What a coincidence?
The Death Group was composed of powerful professionals with very low Luck Points…
