It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 496: Sword vs. sword, knife vs. knife, the Shura Field of the Famous Swords

"Oh... this is really true," Adam wiped his eyes with a handkerchief on the podium, "I haven't calmed down yet."

Voices calling for ACB48 to sing again were heard from the audience. Even if it was only for a short time, people wanted to enter that dream again.

Lovely stepped forward at the right time.

"ACB48's performances are not limited to today. In addition to the elite competition to determine the champion, they will be touring in Melendal for two months."

"At the same time, today's performance has been recorded using magic projection, and a total of 48 taverns in various districts will play it in a loop."

This means that in the next two months, people will be able to enjoy the performances of the Orc idols without interruption.

This is a golden opportunity for both the reputation of the Fifth Princess and the Orcs. Just from the reactions on the scene today, we can tell how big a wave this will create. It is really not just talk to change the human race's view of the Orcs.

Atetana would also be happy that Lily and the others really succeeded.

"Wuwuwu..." Vimir also cried in her seat, and Saya and Ayining also showed relieved expressions.

Luyi, who was standing in the row in front of them, had longing in her eyes.

This gift seemed a bit too shocking for everyone in the audience, and the emotions are still sinking in it, but today's opening ceremony is not just for appreciating the performances of the idols.

"Is it finally time——"

Adam restrained his emotions. No, it should be said that his emotions naturally became more excited after such a performance.

"Now, all participants of the Blue Elite Tournament, please enter the competition channel!!"

Luo Wei stood up from his seat indifferently, exchanged a glance with Ryan who was not far away, and they both walked down the steps of the contestant seats at the same time.

This was followed by inspections and identity confirmations according to procedures. The passage in the underground hall was crowded with contestants, and everyone's face showed the awareness of having never been defeated.

After the idols’ performances, it’s their turn to fight.

"Alright - now all the contestants are in place!"

Adam's voice came through the wall.

"After that, we will face a true sword-to-sword, sword-to-sword duel! All contestants, please come out for the elite tournament preliminaries!"

Under the bright sunlight, the gate of the Colosseum was opened again, the contestants in front took their steps, and Luo Wei followed the crowd into the magnificent circular Colosseum.

The crowd was bustling.

There were endless tiers of stands, and they could see the crowds of people in the arena surrounding and enveloping them. Only until they stood here did they understand what it felt like to be watched by so many people.

My chest is beating with excitement.

"This is truly an incredible ocean!" Adam confirmed the scene below and said, "If the Five Princesses hadn't expanded the arena by more than double, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to even accommodate them!"

There are 572 contestants in total.

This situation is comparable to the wars in some remote small countries.

And each of them is a champion who won the regional elite competition.

"We are not the winners..." Ryan said in a low voice, looking at Shug and Talia.

"You just lost to Rowe in the finals," Talia said helplessly, "Shuger and I didn't even participate in the regional competition..."

"Is this important?"

Xiuge's words choked both of them.

All the contestants entered the venue, and none of the clothes and weapons they carried were standard. As the name suggests, the elite competition is a competition that only the elites of the mainland can participate in. Each of them is the protagonist in their own experience, with their own origins, and they are definitely not just ordinary faces pulled out from somewhere. Most of them have unique skills, are called brave and heroes, and carry magical weapons.

"It seems like we can see quite a few famous swords today, right?"

Adam's voice sighed from above.

"Prince Hooffire Kidd's 'Divine Sword - Legendary Flame', Deputy Knight Commander Acelant's 'Sword of Determination', I also saw 'Emerald Jade Tree Sword', 'Stone Monument Holy Sword', 'Wrathful Roar', 'Thorn Sword - Scarlet Rose', 'Moon Piercing Cloud Sword', 'Treasure Sword - Candlelight Holy Pearl'... Oh, contestant Nigel carried two swords at the same time, could one of them be the 'Holy Power Lion Greatsword'?!"

Clothy stood up in the stands in dissatisfaction.

"Please also introduce the sword I forged!"

However, Adam did not hear her voice, nor did heed her request. Lucas snorted in his seat. He was indeed a ragtag swordsman. Even the sword in his hand had no origin.

The Lion Court royal family owns a total of five famous swords handed down from generation to generation.

"Golden Oath Greatsword" is the king's sword, and the others include "Lion Kingship Greatsword", "Holy Power Lion Greatsword", "Golden Mane Winged Lion Longsword", and "Blood Red Lion Greatsword". The last one is in the hands of Grand Duke Oaklandti, "Red Needle Prince", and the Kingship Greatsword is in the hands of the eldest prince Evan.

The so-called sacred lion actually symbolizes divine power.

"There are so many that I can't recognize them all," Adam said passionately, "but there is no doubt that they are all worthy of holding the artifacts. Gathering young heroes from all over the continent at once is a competition that you can't see anywhere else!! Oh - I saw Ryan Hilliluo, and the one he was holding was the "Holy Sword Alalie", right? ! It is said to be the sword of the lake elves, and it also shone brightly in the conflict in the Crownless City!"

"Huh?" Ryan looked up blankly.

However, many contestants looked towards him, not with envy or contempt, but with a desire to compete with him.

These people...!
It was not until he stood on the arena that Ryan truly realized that there were no mediocre people here, and after today's preliminaries, more than half of them would miss the subsequent events.

This is really - it makes my blood boil.

Ryan clenched his fist and responded to those gazes with the same look. Luo Wei shook his head as he watched from a distance. Couldn't he see that the host was trying to make him hate him?

"Okay—now let me explain the rules!"

The rules are actually very simple.

It's just a matter of letting them fight here until there are only 256 people left. The cruelest part of this rule is that you may be targeted by multiple parties at the same time. It's not a good thing to be too much attention.

In fact, Rowe was already moving towards the edge of the stands.

"See the blue straps on your wrists?" Adam reminded, "As long as you concentrate and inject magic power into it, a white flag will pop out, which represents..." Snap, Ryan tried it, and sure enough, a very conspicuous white flag expanded and popped out from it, emitting a strong white light.

"Well, we see that contestant Ryan Hilliluo has been eliminated!"

"What!?" Ryan was studying it and was completely confused.

"I'm just kidding," Adam smiled maliciously, "but doing this after the game starts means you've voluntarily given up! Do you understand? We hope you can show your best level, but we don't want this place to become a death grinder! Please, this is the elegant and magnificent Lion Garden Capital. It's here to decide the strongest hero in the entire continent, not a territory of barbarians who only know how to kill!"

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, still in shock. If he was eliminated like this, it would be too late to regret.

Luo Wei stood alone by the wall and sighed, then glanced at Loveli who was sitting in the main seat above the stands.

What a barbarian land.

If you continue to tease Randall like this, he will jump on your face soon.

"Further attacks after the opponent expresses his willingness to surrender will be considered a violation! In serious cases, the elite competition qualification will be directly cancelled and all sword fighting badges will be confiscated! In order to ensure your personal safety, we have specially invited the clergy of the Prayer Church. They will heal every injured player after the battle!"

On a high platform at another part of the arena passage, Archbishop Meisilido and a group of priests and nuns were waiting there quietly, responding devoutly to all the glances cast at them.

Elida looked tense, not seeing anyone who could be called a saint.

The priests and nuns I had seen that day were not there either.

"How about it? Do you feel like you're heading out to fight the devil? They will be your strongest backup, and the time has come - this will be a battle of heroes! Now, let the Fifth Princess announce the start of the preliminaries!"

Is it about to begin...!
Ryan looked around and the atmosphere in the entire arena suddenly became depressing, and everyone looked ready to fight.

Lovelli walked to the microphone and closed her eyes.

"All contestants, please draw your weapons and take your positions--!"

For a moment, the elites in the arena took out their weapons in their own ways, held them in their hands, looked around, and lowered their center of gravity slightly.

Luo Wei's sword was hung on his waist with its scabbard. He did not draw the sword, but just gently pressed the hilt.

"I declare-"

Loveli's voice made everyone's eyes darken further.

"The 9th Blue Elite Tournament - Preliminary Competition - Starts Now!!"

Swish.

Almost at the same time, when the five princesses waved their hands, nearly half of the people took action. Some just chanted magic on the spot, while others suddenly turned around and slashed at the people behind them!

The audience in the stands were stunned for a moment.

What kind of scene is this?
Although the 500-plus people seemed far less numerous than the number of people in the audience seats, when they moved, the scene gave the feeling that they were instantly trapped in a battlefield.

"Flying Swallow Sword——!"

"Absolute Fire: Flame Step!!"

"Underworld Slash!"

Bang! The clash of swords and martial arts darkened the arena. Everyone moved very quickly, the light of their moves flickered constantly, and the strong wind swept over them.

With an explosion, his vision was shrouded in smoke and flames, and Ryan realized that he had made a very wrong decision.

These people might have wanted to fight to the death, but when the fight started the scene became extremely chaotic. Someone even deliberately chanted a spell to cover the sky, and for a moment he didn't even know where he was.

"Oh my god, I can't see what's going on!"

Adam's voice seemed to come from another world to the contestants.

clang--!
Ryan, Shuger and Talia stood with their backs to each other as they faced the man who rushed out with sword skills. They had originally thought that they could support Rowe and Kidd, but now they were unable to take care of themselves.

It was raining in the sky one second, and dust was rising the next, followed by flaming meteorites falling one after another. This was completely different from the regional auditions.

Luo Wei leaned against the wall to avoid the attacks of the two fighting players. The two men looked at each other and suddenly slashed towards him at the same time.

It's full of intrigue and deception.

He leaned down and turned to pull away. The two men had just attacked together, and the next moment they were fighting each other again.

Alliances are of course inevitable in this game, and the players have long been told the rules, but fragile alliances are sometimes more dangerous than direct enemies.

If you want to survive here, observation skills are absolutely indispensable.

boom!
A sword energy composed of magic power hit the side wall. Luo Wei observed the movement within his field of vision, but did not draw his sword and just moved along the wall.

But don't think you are safe hiding on the edge. Generally speaking, the closer you are to the edge, the less confident you are in your own strength. At this time, there will be many strong people coming to find them.

"What a coincidence, you are here too?"

Hearing a familiar voice, I looked over and saw Kidd also moving along the wall. The two of them met each other like geckos.

Luo Wei's mouth trembled, "You are a prince, and this is all you can do?"

"Same here," Kidd smiled nonchalantly, then panted and suggested, "How about we form an alliance?"

"I don't care." Luo Wei looked at his panting and embarrassed appearance, "Why, are there many people chasing you?"

"Haha, everyone is so enthusiastic towards me..."

The two reached a brief agreement, and several players who came forward were knocked away by Kidd, and Lowe helped him watch behind him without even drawing his sword.

Taking a step forward, Luo Wei observed the battlefield intently.

At this moment, the famous sword of Hooffire inlaid with precious gems slashed at him from behind.
