Under Grotar's command, the kingdom's most elite knights pressed towards Lymes and his companions.

Even though the Azure Heaven Knight Order stood united,

without weapons in hand, they were utterly incapable of resisting this group of well-equipped knights.

In terms of both numbers and equipment quality, the Azure Heaven Knight Order was completely crushed.

A barrage of attacks came upon them.

Lymes suddenly raised his head, seemingly making some decision, reaching out his hand, a mass of Holy Light gathered.

The next moment, a broken sword hilt appeared in his hand.

Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by attacks,

the broken sword hilt suddenly emitted an intense Holy Light, about a hundred meters high.

A strange scene unfolded as all the attacks from the knights, upon touching the Holy Light, either automatically veered off or lost their power, dissipating in mid-air.

Clatter! Clatter!

Various weapons and arrows dropped to the ground.

The concentrated fire of thousands of knights would even instantly kill a Legendary Creature if struck directly.

But now, it was easily neutralized by this broken sword hilt.

Everyone gazed bewilderedly at the item in his hand.

Lymes shouted loudly: "This is the personal sword of the First Knight King, according to the kingdom's laws, no knight may attack the bearer of this sword!"

"Otherwise, it will be regarded as defying the will of the First Knight King, betraying the creed of the knights!"

When Lymes finished speaking, all the knights simultaneously looked at the broken sword hilt in his hand, their eyes showing reverence and worship!

The weight of the First Knight King was undoubtedly heavy, supposedly the first human to break through to demigod status.

Even though he has passed, his sword still possesses unimaginable power, as just demonstrated by the Holy Light blocking all attacks.

Watching from the side, Shen Yun's eyes suddenly brightened, "This sword, a good thing indeed!"

The others also recognized the extraordinariness of the sword hilt in Lymes's hand.

Han Xing analyzed, "It's a good thing, I seem to see a bit of Rule Power on it."

"Rules?"

Everyone glanced at him in unison.

Han Xing nodded, "Yes, did you not notice?"

"Those attacks when touching the Holy Light, were not negated, they dispersed on their own."

"Considering what Lymes just said, this short sword likely possesses the Power of Rules, as long as it's held, it equates to immunity from all Human Race attacks!"

Upon Han Xing's words, everyone collectively took a deep breath.

Cheng Jianyong exclaimed, "Whoa, doesn't this mean that as long as I hold this broken sword, I am invincible among the Human Race?"

Han Xing nodded, "Theoretically, it should be so."

At this moment, everyone stared intently at the broken sword raised high in Lymes's hand.

At this time, even Grotar, sitting high on the throne, appeared slightly stunned, frowning and asking, "Lymes, do you intend to blatantly rebel and desecrate the God of Light?"

Lymes listened and responded firmly, "Your Majesty, please let us leave!"

However, this also seemed to be within Grotar's expectations, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Leave? Dream on!"

"Have you forgotten, that while the knights cannot attack you, other race creatures can!"

He waved his hand, and the sky above the square was suddenly covered by a massive Black Shadow.

Lymes suddenly had a bad feeling.

It was a giant creature entirely covered in black scales, with wings on its back, and over fifty meters long.

Upon seeing the creature, everyone couldn't help but look up in exclamation.

"Shadow Giant Dragon!"

As one of the Legendary Creatures, the Dragon Race is highly recognizable in appearance.

At this moment, the Shadow Giant Dragon was hovering in the air, its massive wings flapping, the resulting gusts making it hard for everyone to maintain their footing.

At this moment, the shadows of all knights in the square vanished, and system notifications appeared.

[Knight Judgment Arena Phase One challenge has commenced, the battle will begin in thirty seconds, challenge objective: Defeat the Shadow Giant Dragon (Phantom)]

"Damn, so after all this time, we're not here to fight those knights, but to slay a dragon?" Cheng Jianyong exclaimed in confusion.

Looking at the enormous creature before them, all five individuals in the arena tensed up.

At this moment, the dragon's attributes also appeared before them.

[Shadow Giant Dragon Phantom (Two-star Leader, Legendary Creature)]

[Level: lv15]

[Attributes]: Power 333, Agility 333, Spirit 333, Constitution 333.

Skills:

[Dark Wings]: The Shadow Giant Dragon unfolds its huge Dark Wings, soaring through the air, increasing its Movement Speed by 100% and Defense by 50%.

[Dark Dragon Soul]: Sealed state, cannot be used.

[Ultimate Skill - World-Ending Black Flame]: Sealed state, cannot be used.

[Ultimate Skill - Star of Annihilation]: Sealed state, cannot be used.

...

Seeing the formidable attributes and long skill list of this giant dragon, everyone fell into silence.

"Damn, is this really a Two-star Secret Realm?"

Cheng Jianyong said in disbelief, "Starting with such an invincible creature, does the system really want us to pass?"

When he and Shen Yun cleared that One-Star Secret Realm before, the strongest enemy they encountered was just a level 10 Elite Monster.

And in this Two-star Secret Realm, right at the start is a level 15 Leader, and it's a Legendary Creature, the difference is more than just a level!

Facing the dragon's intimidating force, everyone felt they could hardly breathe.

At this moment, Shen Yun asked, "Brother Xing, what should we do now?"

Everyone looked towards Han Xing in unison.

At this moment, Han Xing became their backbone.

Seeing that the battle countdown had only 10 seconds left.

Han Xing said seriously, "Get ready, form up, and prepare for battle!"

"Don't worry, this dragon is just a phantom, its power has been greatly reduced, it can't exert the strength of a Legendary Creature."

"Now, it's just a level 15 Leader Monster, let's go for it!"

Han Xing's words were like a shot of adrenaline to the confused crowd.

Shen Yun took a deep breath, first raising the Shield of Immortality and charging forward.

Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang exchanged a glance, then each took a few steps back, standing about ten meters away on either side of Han Xing.

In the sky, the silhouette of the Shadow Giant Dragon became more and more solid, as if emerging from a phantom state into reality.

As the countdown ended.

The silhouette of the Shadow Giant Dragon also took its final form.

At this moment, beneath its jet-black scales, a pair of ghostly green eyes gazed at the small ants below.

The Shadow Giant Dragon swooped down.

Shen Yun immediately confronted it.

"Holy Light, protect me!" Shen Yun cast a shield on himself.

Faced with the dragon's might, Shen Yun showed no fear; he knew he had the strongest defense among the five.

Raising the Shield of Immortality, Shen Yun boldly blocked the path of the Shadow Giant Dragon's dive, preparing for direct contact.

"Unyielding Will!" Shen Yun activated the legendary effect of the Golden Shield.

For ten seconds, his damage taken was significantly reduced and he wouldn't be pushed back by any attack!

Bang!

The enormous head of the Shadow Giant Dragon struck the Shield of Immortality, making a dull collision sound.

The next moment, the Shadow Giant Dragon shook its head, seemingly unable to believe that this human, who seemed like an ant, could withstand its impact without budging an inch.

The Shadow Giant Dragon's pupils flickered, as if contemplating something.

Is this human wielding the Power of Rules?

Interesting...

At this moment, Coal Ball flashed over to the dragon's phantom side.

Slash! Slash!

With two swipes, two scratches appeared on the thick scales of the Shadow Giant Dragon, emitting wisps of purple smoke.

The Shadow Giant Dragon's pupils instantly widened; the aura of this little attacker felt eerily similar to a memory long buried.

Wasn't this race supposed to be extinct?

This group's combination is indeed quite peculiar...

At that moment, Han Xing also entered Frenzy State.

The Wild Ranger's exclusive skill increased attack speed and hit rate significantly.

Wind Chasing Arrow shot forth, triggering the Longbow effect, 'Life-taking.'

Effect - Life-taking: There's an 18% chance to deal 200% damage when attacking.

This strike triggered the double damage effect.

Supported by his powerful Attack Power, even the astonishing defense of the dragon was pierced by this arrow, deeply embedding into its flesh.

The sudden pain snapped the Shadow Giant Dragon back to reality.

It was completely enraged by Han Xing's arrow, roaring towards the sky.

"Roar!"

The terrifying roar exploded in everyone's ears, bringing a buzzing in their minds.

Two massive black wings unfurled, bringing a gale with them.

Cheng Jianyong saw this and instantly dashed forward with his sword.

However, he hadn't gone far before the gust from the dragon's wings sent him, along with the nearby Coal Ball, flying.

In the next moment, a human and a young wolf were simultaneously blown away.

"Damn!" Cheng Jianyong rolled a few times on the ground before quickly standing up.

Shen Yun held up the Shield of Immortality again, ready to charge forward once more.

The Shadow Giant Dragon's eyes showed a hint of disdain, noticing that the special power of the human with the shield had disappeared.

It slightly opened its massive mouth, brewing a Dragon's Breath.

"Be careful!" Cheng Jianyong shouted in alarm, rushing over without a second thought.

But Shen Yun yelled, "Don't come over, I can block it!"

His eyes burning with determination and confidence!

He believed that, with his own strength combined with the full set of top-grade equipment Han Xing provided, he was more than capable of withstanding the dragon's attack!
