Everyone was very confident in Byleth and assumed that he would certainly be able to defeat the opponent with ease so that he could give Rheasia’s morale a big boost.In truth, Byleth thought so himself too. After all, he was a renowned fighter and the instructor of the Insurgent Trifecta’s Dragon’s Blood squadron. He was already at the edge of being a third-tier master fighter and one step away from being a fourth-tier master fighter. Moreover, he had also grown much more powerful than before after receiving Zayn’s guidance during this period of time. Most importantly, his opponent was a less-known fighter with no impressive reputation internationally. Hence, Byleth’s confidence was not unfounded but it made perfect sense. He cracked a brilliant smile and assured, “Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint everyone.”Upon saying that, he was about to get into the ring. Zayn looked at the photo of Daniel, Byleth’s opponent on the huge screen and felt an ominous presentiment overcoming
“What? Sergeant Larson, did I hear you right? According to the data displayed, this man is only a third-tier master fighter,” said Joe in astonishment at once. Axton immediately echoed, “That’s right. Daniel was fighting against a third-tier master fighter in the previous round, and he won it with great effort. How could he possibly be a perfect-class master fighter?”“Sergeant Larson, could you be mistaken?”Quite a number of people wondered if Zayn had mistaken it. However, Zayn inhaled a deep breath with an extremely solemn expression and said in a deep voice, “I can’t possibly be mistaken! This Daniel lad is a perfect-class master fighter. Moreover, he is considered a very powerful fighter even amongst the perfect-class master fighters! I believe that Daniel is not his real name and neither is his current appearance real either!”Next, he inhaled a deep breath and said, “He is putting on an act here so that he can hunt down Sergeant Constantine and kill him!”Everyone could
Everything happened too quickly. In the eyes of the numerous spectators under the ring, they saw Byleth being defeated the very moment the bell was rung. Moreover, he was utterly defeated and crushed. It happened so quickly that their eyes could not process the situation in time!“Uh…”The Rheasian fighters who were cheering for Byleth earlier were stunned in the meantime. Their eyes widened in surprise, and they were too astounded to accept the incident that had just taken place in a heartbeat.On the other hand, the incident roused the excitement and bolstered the courage of those foreign fighters at once. Dick had just arrived at the area under the ring. He was planning on calling out to Byleth initially, yet he could not bring himself to shout anymore after witnessing the scene. His eyes met Daniel’s gaze when he raised his head… No, this man should not be known as Daniel but Romel, a super powerhouse as challenging as Solomon!His gaze was icy cold, filled with mockery a
As he was confronted by the rage of the Rheasians, not an ounce of dread could be seen in Romel. On the contrary, he burst out laughing aloud in endless delight and joy. He raised Byleth high into the air with his right hand clutching Byleth’s throat tightly. Then, he made a thumbs-down gesture toward all the Rheasians at the scene with his left hand. Moreover, he spat out, “Rheasians are garbage.”In the end, he said to Zayn provocatively, “Zayn, there’s no need for you to pretend anymore. I know that you’re very furious and angered now, and you’re about to lose control of your temper soon. I acknowledge that you’re a talented man and a genius that is extremely rare in the world. However, so what? A man like you shouldn’t exist in this world! Yet, you’ve actually had the audacity to gather your great power during the martial arts cup. Do you really think that you’ll be able to proceed smoothly just like that?”Zayn did not utter a word despite Romel’s remark. His reaction almost s
Byleth immediately let out a bitter, agonizing scream that sounded like he was in a lot of pain. Romel ruthlessly tormented Byleth in Zayn’s witness, and to many people, it was an extremely unbearable sight to behold. “Arghh!” Byleth could only scream out in agony though he could not call out his surrender only because Romel was clutching his throat so tightly that he could not finish a complete sentence. Byleth was already covered in wounds and his body was drenched in blood during this short period of time. Romel had cruelly broken his arm as well. “That’s enough!” Zayn could not bear to watch any more, so he shouted aloud, “Let go of Sergeant Constantine and I may spare your life.”He could not keep his cool anymore at last as he watched Byleth writhe in excruciation from being tormented. However, Romel chuckled. “Zayn, do you really think that you’re unparalleled in this world that you get to spare my life?”Upon saying that, he began to continue tormenting Byleth. By
All at once, he stood over there in a daze, gnashing his teeth in anger. However, there was nothing else he could do. It had already been such a long time since he felt so powerless!Romel was doing everything to rub him the wrong way. His murderous intent for Romel grew even stronger than he had ever felt for anybody else. Noticing that Zayn had yet to reply after a long time, Romel’s expression grew solemn and cold. He grunted and said, “Why, you won’t bow down? It seems that you’re a fake country hero who has no regard for your countrymen.”Upon saying that, he continued to exert strength in his hand once again in an attempt to crush Byleth’s neck. “Hold on!” Zayn shouted aloud as he watched Byleth’s tortured expression of being choked to death. Upon hearing that, Romel gave a cruel smile once again. “There’s a saying in Rheasia that those who let themselves be guided by the current course of events are real heroes. Zayn, you’re a wise man, so you should know what to do.”Z
The entire scene was quiet for three seconds before a huge commotion broke out instantly as all the Rheasian fighters boiled over with rage. They were constantly running in from all directions in an attempt to get into the ring and beat Romel to death so that they could avenge Sergeant Constantine!“Gah! Sergeant Constantine is dead. Let’s go and kill the b*st*d together so that we can avenge Sergeant Constantine!”“I’m going to kill you!”“Sergeant Constantine…”Even Romel was startled by the current situation. He was scared because he would not be able to resist all these Rheasian fighters if they were to have a go at him together. Instinctively, he wanted to back out of the ring at once.However, his path was blocked by a figure. He focused his vision to take a look and found a solemn face looking back at him. The figure’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, sending a shiver down his spine in an instant. His heart was racing and he felt terrified. It was because the per
They felt their hearts bogged down even more at this very moment. It was a crushing blow to all the members of the Insurgent Trifecta even more. Byleth had still been lively and talking jovially to them earlier, yet he had turned into a soulless corpse now. Many of the special agents from the Dragon’s Blood squadron were in so much misery with many of them even shedding tears. Joe and the others heaved a sigh heavily after sensing the emotions, feeling at a loss for words. Before the martial arts cup event, they had never expected that the situation would take a turn like this. It was too tragic and heartbreaking for them. They could not imagine the emotional turmoil that Zayn was feeling in his heart while they were in so much pressure and emotional now. Zayn did not walk too far away after he left the arena. Instead, he made his way to a park. He placed Byleth's corpse down before shutting his comrade’s eyes slowly. There were quite a number of people in the park, an
