Chapter 617 Hero's Triumph
'A powerful attack!' Shye inwardly commended, pretending to be helpless and desperate again while secretly preparing to execute what could be one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of Adthiopia between a hero and a monster.
The radiant, fan-shaped glaive drew closer, its celestial hum resonating like a divine herald of holy power.
Soon, it reached the helpless Valenzian Hero, seemingly obliterating him into mere particles.
There was no sign of Shye breaking free from the restriction skill.
Thus, the Valenzians had no choice but to watch in horror as their first-ever hero, Shye Crowley of the Black Dawn, seemed to have been slain by the Anubis.
Meanwhile, the foreign onlookers observed with a touch of schadenfreude. What a laughable tragedy this would be!
The story would go like this: Shye Crowley overestimated his strength after becoming a hero and died after arrogantly refusing help from the WAA.
Valenzia would once more be the butt of jokes amongst all the regions, just as it had always been.
Unfortunately for those hoping for his downfall and fortunately for those who believed in him, before the divine light from the Anubis' devastating strike faded, a dark silhouette suddenly surged toward the ascended monster, who appeared to be growing complacent.
The Anubis was convinced that the young adventurer—hero or whatever—had been thoroughly caught in one of its lethal combinations and was surely dead.

As a result, it slightly lowered its guard, creating a perfect opportunity for Shye—now clad in pitch-black armor with dark wings—to strike.
His sudden counterattack was swift as a swallow and fierce as a raging thunder.
Before the Anubis even realized, Shye was already in front of it, the edges of his greatswords glowing an eerie red, whispers of death crawling their way to the ascended monster's skin.
It still could not understand how Shye survived its attack.
However, it did not have the luxury to find out, at least not at the current moment as it has to find a way to survive the ferocious human's strike first.
Using its sharp survival instincts, the Anubis quickly determined the best course of action, raising its glaive in a diagonal defensive position to block the incoming greatswords.
The viewers waited with bated breaths and mouths agape.
In the next moment, they finally saw what they had been waiting for: royal blue blood gushing out from the Anubis's wound as its body was split diagonally in two.
It had been slain with a single strike.
The reaper of nightfall had claimed another life, and Shye Crowley of the Black Dawn stood victorious, proud as a lion.
Naturally, upon witnessing the glorious triumph of their hero, the Valenzians erupted into cheers, Shye's guildmates in utter disbelief.
Shye Crowley had only been with them for quite a short time, and although it was a widely known fact that he cleared (S-) and (S) ranked quests before, they didn't see how he did it.
Hence, they believed that it was merely through the help of his renowned king-class familiar that he could defeat (S-) and (S) ranked creatures.
Basically, they thought that the familiar was boosting Shye's career, and without it, Shye Crowley wouldn't be as strong as the rumors said he was.
After all, rumors had always been exaggerated.
This was why their minds were utterly blown after witnessing his skill firsthand.
The arrogant adamantites of his guild felt cold sweat pouring down their backs in buckets.
They had more or less acted coldly towards Shye, believing that although he was talented, he should know his place for a few years before interacting with them.
Now, they found out how stupid they were for treating him that way.
Only a select few of them, the most seasoned and skilled of the bunch, could claim to fight an Anubis head-on and live.
However, none of them dare claim they could kill it alone. They would at least need two comrades or more.
As a result, most of them vowed never to cross him again, while some of the more thick-skinned ones even began plotting how to get him to join their party for at least a few quests.
Meanwhile, the hero in question was merely happy to earn 15 points in all attributes, a rare skill coupon, and...
[Congratulations! You've earned 1,510,190 points!]
