Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

Chapter 41: Battle Royale (1)



"Isn't that a bit bombastic? What do you mean, challenge for the throne?" Tyr questioned in a fairly silent tone as well since the girl he was speaking to was whispering.

The girl paused, looking into his eyes for a second before speaking.

"I'm Cyllia, nice to meet you." The girl abruptly said, changing the topic as he reached her hand forward.

"Right... Tyr." Tyr said, lightly shaking her hand. "But you still haven't answered my question."

Cyllia looked forward: "The 5 strongest Hunter Squads in Drance are here. This hasn't happened in a while, and the only reason it did happen was not only because Hanzo has chosen you to be his next squad member, but also because you defeated Bilweif in the short time that you've been here."

Tyr was slightly taken aback as he heard this. "Chosen me to be the next squad member?" He was still stuck on this part. 'That's... a perfect thing. I can hunt better creatures and level up faster that way too.'

Cyllia continued: "Of course, word of that slimy scoundrel being caught quickly spread through town. Especially since he has a bounty of 500 Gold if caught alive."

"HUH!?" Tyr's eyebrows flew up as his jaw dropped to the floor, 'FUCK! If I had known about that I would have been rich!' He rued.

"Too bad you killed him... but still, we had been trying to stop him for years," Cyllia said, causing Tyr to think oddly.

He remembered a detail that didn't seem to make sense.

Furrowing his brows, he thought back to when he was first entering Drance.

'Hanzo saw that I was distracted with that Bilweif guy all the way back then, and pulled me away from arguing with him even after making eye contact with the robed individual. Of course, I had no clue who he was at the time, but surely Hanzo had a clue...' This confused him slightly. But there was still a chance that Hanzo also had no clue that that figure was actually Bilweif.

"Anyways. The 5 strongest squads don't meet often, like I said. When it does happen, a war breaks out." Cyllia exclaimed with her gaze focused in front of her.

Several squad members began to make their way toward the sidelines as well.

Leaders and stronger members of their squads seemed to stay behind, facing each other with serious looks.

"Hanzo, let's see if you are still the strongest. It's been two years since the last time." The white-leather-clothed young man who resembled Miski said.

"Jae, it's not just between you and him. I'll show you just how much I've grown." A tall brute who was slightly fat but heavily muscular stepped forward, cracking his knuckles.

"Thats right Crank, let's rank each other one more time." Another person who seemed to be a squad leader stepped up and faced the other three. She was a girl who wore a bright and long green mage dress.

"The great Pencil, AKA me, says that we have some fun! Isn't that right, Misterel?" Another guy walked up, his hair short and buzzed. He had an average stature, a fairly developed body, and a smirk on his face.

The five gathered in the middle, with at least one other person from their team beside him.

Beside Hanzo was Yurin, the short girl and Jonas returning to Tyr and Cyllia's side.

A short moment of silence ensued between the different squads, their egos clashing with each other.

But in reality, all of them were waiting on one thing.

What was the strongest going to say?

After a few seconds, Hanzo let out an exasperated sigh.

"Oi, Camie!" He yelled into the sky with his hands on his hips.

A voice hurriedly sounded from the speakers in a nervous tone: "Y-yes, Hanzo!"

"Shut the exams for 10 minutes."

"Yes sir!"

"I'm surprised you agreed." Jae, the mohawked young man, retorted with a smug attitude.

"I have my reasons." Hanzo replied, "Begin." He said as all of the squad leaders and their companions jumped backward in unison and created over 20 feet of space.

All but Hanzo and Yurin, that was, who stayed in the center.

Tyr furrowed his brows, 'They are that scared of Ultimatum? Just how strong are these guys?'

Noticing Tyr's expression, the short girl from behind tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, you are probably confused about what's going on right? Sorry, we Hunters tend to be too competitive at times." She said in a high-pitched, gentle voice.

Tyr turned, giving a pity laugh at the girl's words. "Haha... right."

"I'm Urvil Crystal, nice to meet you. I hope we become good teammates later on down the line." She said with a genuine smile.

"Same here..." Tyr replied, still slightly surprised that he was invited into this squad to begin with.

Right now, there was a standstill between all the squad members participating in this battle royale. That was up until Jae lunged forward to attack Hanzo.

As soon as he did this, all the other squad members attacked other squad members--instantly transforming the examination arena into a battleground.

Hanzo gracefully sidestepped and avoided all of Jae's punches, moving around the arena on their own.

Miski happened to fight a random person from Crank's squad. The person from Crank's squad had the power to make swords float around him.

Miski on the other hand used his hands which unleashed waves of musical notes that were powerful enough to cause damage to even Expert Rank Aura fighters.

Crank, the big brute, fought Misterel, the mage girl. The brute had the power to transform into an elephant! Right now, he was only using his power to transform his nose into a trunk to swing at his opponent.

Misterel on the other hand was using all sorts of spells, waving her wand around as several vines poked out of the ground and attacked Crank.

Finally, Pencil took on Yurin. The latter fought using a gauntlet on his hand that was able to unleash several Aura attacks consisting of various elements such as Water, Fire, Wind, Earth.

Pencil had the power to wield a giant pencil that formed out of thin air. It could be used as a large rod weapon, but also to create projectile weapons. This could be done by writing in the air and sending the scratches flying toward one's opponent.

Before Tyr knew it, fights were happening all around him. And he couldn't help but stare with awe and exhilaration. These fights, first of all, were hella fun to watch!

Seeing all these crazy and new abilities made the little kid in Tyr jump up and down with joy. But on top of that, it gave him a lot of understanding when it came to how one fought in the first place.

These were skilled fighters, ones who knew how to attack, dodge, parry, and move themselves in the world of combat.

It was like liquid gold when it came to information, all in front of his very eyes!
