The treasure hunters were shocked to hear that. They could understand Aldred massacring more than 50,000 people with his army, but how could a group with merely three people do such a thing?
It was impossible to imagine.
Aldred's wives also thought the same. They could imagine Aldred wracking around with his Phantom Doomblade, taking lives whenever he went, but this was not true for anyone else.
If their speculation was correct, then, these three people must be very dangerous.
The menacing giant reached out, pushing off the robe and revealing his powerful hand, holding a red spear. He also revealed the powerful black and purple armor under the robe.
From the information he obtained through his godly eyes, Aldred knew the name of this giant was Narver Stursk. Just like Aldred, he was also at the gate of Platinum Rank. But like every Gold Rank, he could not break through it with brute force and talent.
The giant took a step, drew the spear over his shoulder, and then threw it at Aldred.
The spear punctured through the trees without the sign of slowing down. It also exudes powerful aura around it that destroyed everything 10 meters around it.
"Everyone get away!" Aldred took a step forward and grabbed the spear in mid-air.
BOOM!
The impact pushed him off by a step.
"I truly have grown stronger. Hahaha! Is that all you got!"
Narver, the giant, reached out with his hand, and another red spear formed. Once again, he threw it at Aldred.
Aldred scoffed and caught the spear again. But this time, the impact threw him 300 meters away before his body slammed against a small hill.
Aldred teleported back to his original position as he coughed up some dust.
"That guy got you really good." Mary laughed.
Aldred smiled. "They are quite an interesting people. I want to fight them."
Stella sighed and shook her head. "I know you would say that. Let me give you some buff."
"Me too," Sophia joined in.
They both casted buffs on him.
"Greater Strength!"
"Greater Speed!"
"Extreme Sensory Perception!"
"Resistance to Magic!"
"Resistance to Poison!"
After a few minutes, they finally finished giving him buffs.
"Are you guys done?" Aldred asked.
"Yeah." Stella nodded.
"Alright." Aldred vanished, leaving blood mist floating in the air.
And then he appeared in front of Narver Stursk. The giant dwarfed over Aldred.
"I have seen bigger monster before," Aldred said. "So, you guys are pretty strong, huh?"
The three of them did not reply. The silent was eternal before it was followed by a breeze.
"Alright. Not very fond of talking I see. Then, would you like to fight?"
Aldred raised his hand and Phantom Doomblade appeared with golden and red blazing flame.
The three of them flinched when they see the weapon. But still, they did not speak at all and barely react.
"Are you guys a robot or something. Even Thinker has better facial expression than you. And he's a literal robot."
They kept their silent.
"Haish. Alright, if you don't want to talk, then let's fight."
Aldred charged towards the giant and attacked. The giants moved nimbly, dodging and blocking the attack with his spear.
But despite that, Narver was constantly pushed back as he received tremendous damage. Aldred's Phantom Doomblade was not the blade it used to be. It had received tremendous upgrade.
As he kept attacking, one of the passive ability [Unseen Blade] activated, and Phantom Doomblade managed to create a large gash of wound on the giant's chest.
Aldred looked to the side where the two other enemies were, but they still did not move despite their friend already got injured.
He glanced at the giant. "You have such a terrible friend. Are you sure you want to be with them?"
The giant wordlessly reached to the side with his hand, and then a mysterious purple energy began to spin beside the giant. It grew large before it condensed into a single point, and then fired at Aldred.
Aldred tilted his head to the side to dodge. When he looked back, he realized the beam had penetrated more than 2 kilometers of rocks.
Such power!
Aldred turned around and saw that the giant was about shoot another beam at him.
Aldred opened a portal right in front of him. The beam entered, and then another portal opened that directed the beam to struck the giant's right shoulder.
It was completely destroyed. But the giant didn't even let out a grunt. He seemed unaffected by it.
And then Aldred watched the arms regenerated back.
"You are very powerful. Would you be interested in working for me?" Aldred asked genuinely.
As always, the giant did not reply and simply charged at him.
"Alright, I have enough playing around."
Three clones appeared beside him, and the four Aldred began to attack simultaneously.
With four Phantom Doomblade attacking at once, Aldred was sure the giant would die with a single slash.
But suddenly, a weird cube around 100 cm in diameter appeared in front of them and suddenly ballooned in size, blocking their attack.
"What is this?" Aldred looked to the side and noticed that the other two people were moving. The petite girl named Shevli Makode seemed to be controlling this cube.
While the other one, the 180 CM tall, fit and slim assassin type, named Falmik Ungoka, circled them and attacked from behind.
He pulled out two small blade and attacked with such precision and high speed. But Aldred was not to be underestimated. With his buffs, and godly eyes activated at all times, he managed to dodge the attack while only suffering a small wound to his cheek.
One of his clone attacked the assassin, and managed to create a wound on the man's thigh.
They all leaped back after that.
The assassin threw four shurikens. Aldred and his clones each caught one. Then the shurikens moved their teeth down, bitting on their finger. A needle inside the shuriken jolted, penetrating the skin and injecting poison into him.
[You have been poisoned]
[Poison has been neutralized]
Aldred laughed. "Thanks to Sophia and Stella's buff, your poison is nothing for me."
The three of them still did not speak.
Aldred sighed. "My name is Aldred. Nice to meet you. Narver Stursk, Falmik Ungoka, and Shevli Makode."
The three enemies were shocked.
"How did you know our name? Who are you? Are you not going to ask question like that?" Aldred said with a smug face.
Instead of being curios as to how Aldred knew their name. They seemed to worry, cautious, and fear. But this fear led them to stare at him in a different way.
Before this, they simply looked at him normally, but now, they wanted to kill him with everything they had.
The giant charged forward while the weird dice floated into the sky and fired a blinding light.
The assassin burst into mist before appearing again with ten clones, and then ambushed Aldred from behind.
Aldred and his clones fought with them for hours. When Aldred tried to assassinate the magician, the giant would always be there to protect her no matter what.
The assassin also gave him a hard time. It was hard to move around when the assassin always aimed to cut his throat.
After six hours passed, the three enemies backed off and nodded at each other.
The dice became smaller, the size of a pinky. And then it fired a tiny blue beam at Aldred.
He of course dodged it easily. "It's not that easy to hurt me." Aldred smiled at them.
A voice came from above.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
Aldred looked up at the giant black dice in the sky and noticed that the numbers of participant was exactly 1,000.
Aldred turned around and saw that three of his recruits were killed.
So they killed three of his recruits so the test would be over?
Suddenly, bright light began to envelop them.
The petite girl approached him and said: "Do not chase us any longer. Tell my father I refuse to return."
And then they were all teleported back to their place.
Aldred looked around and realized that he was back at the mountain range.
He recalled what the girl said. "Did she think her father ordered me to come after her?"
"How is the fight, Aldred?" Mary asked.
"It was very interesting. Those three are very powerful. I hope I can meet them again."
"Maybe we will."
