I've heard whispers that she's the only female among all one hundred participants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd murmured at that. Others cheered. And a small but vocal segment began chanting her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! Dela Myre! An adventurer, from what I hear! And the last female standing out of all who applied!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator lowered his voice theatrically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now tell me, folks—what kind of strength does it take to reach this stage, alone, when so many others fell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The applause rose. Some clapped in admiration. Others simply appreciated the novelty of seeing a woman up there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dela! Step forward and introduce yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dela, still calm, nodded slightly. She stepped to the front, her voice clear and measured despite the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dela Myre. A Gold Rank Adventurer. I'm here to win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple. Direct. The crowd loved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why a woman was on a stage competing in what seemed like it was tailored for men, the crowd couldn't care less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! She's got the tone of a warrior and the eyes of a hunter! Look at that calm! Beautiful, dangerous, and deadly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd whooped and hollered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator then gestured to another member in group A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth's hair was combed back, his expression confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at the shine on that armor! I can see my reflection from here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please introduce yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth stepped forward and bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lionel Hartwright. House Hartwright. I look forward to bringing honor to my house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Folks! This young man is here to prove himself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following him came Uzen Kerr—a stout, scarred man with a rugged beard and a heavy axe strapped to his back. No noble crest, no fancy gear. Just raw presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now this one—hoo boy! Look at him! I bet that axe has tasted blood more times than we can count!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uzen said nothing for a moment, then stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uzen Kerr.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He announced his name with a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd equally responded with a roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commoners in the stands rose to cheer, fists pumping into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And finally… Sir Ma of House Corwyn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one walked with deliberate grace, armor polished to a silver gleam, and a narrow sword resting elegantly at his hip. He gave a sharp, practiced bow to the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir Ma, everyone! A noble knight from the Steel Kingdom—yes, the Steel Kingdom!\" the commentator added, stoking the tension. \"Looks like this competition is really going to live up to the hype, folks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd didn't know how to feel—some clapped, others booed, but all eyes stayed on the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the preparation rooms, participants were watching with grim focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Group C's turn to step into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was Lord Fenrick Valen, tall and haughty with a long white coat that swept the ground like a robe. His weapon—a rapier with a silver-engraved guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fenrick Valen,\" he said with a raised chin. \"May my blade honor my house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gave a muted response—neither welcoming nor hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next! Joss Tren of Eastrun!\" the announcer called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lean figure with short-cropped hair and a curved sabre strapped across his back strode forward. His eyes scanned the crowd but offered no introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joss is quiet, folks, but don't mistake silence for weakness! Eastrun's scouts have a reputation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came Sir Ner of House Relinor, whose steel-gray armor bore deep scratches across the chest. He raised his shield high, nodding once to the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lige.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no title, no fanfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short figure stepped out. No armor. No flashy gear. Just a weathered cloak and a single curved dagger strapped to his thigh. His face was hidden beneath a hood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh… mysterious! I love it!\" the commentator cried. \"No title, no background, no introduction. Just 'Lige.' Can't tell if we should be worried or excited!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two teams now stood across from one another on the vast arena stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commentator stepped back to a raised platform just outside the shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, settle down, people! The first team battle begins now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A resonant gong echoed through the coliseum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Dela moved. No hesitation. Her twin daggers flashed into her hands, and her body blurred into motion—a streak of leather and shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uzen raised his axe with both hands and let out a thunderous war cry before charging forward like a battering ram. Dust flew up around his feet with every heavy step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel followed with practiced grace, sword held high and aura burning with noble intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Ma, cool and collected, moved like a fencer preparing for the perfect counterstrike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Group C was just as fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fenrick raised his rapier, activating an aura technique that made the blade shimmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joss flanked wide, his sabre drawn low, knees bent in a runner's crouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sir Ner stayed central, shield high, spear braced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lige… disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Literally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment he was there, the next—gone in a shimmer of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did anyone see that?!\" the commentator yelled. \"He vanished! Where'd he go?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the preparation rooms, jaws clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some participants now realized they were woefully unprepared for the level of skill they were about to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the Earth Dragon Kingdom's smug elite, a few now leaned forward, eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it came. The first blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not from any of the visible warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life, in the form of a formless shimmering blade—a strike descended like judgment itself toward Dela's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped, though most hadn't actually seen what had happened. To them, Dela simply flinched and twisted, her body blurring sideways in a motion so fast it seemed she'd vanished for a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment she stood mid-dash, the next she rolled beneath a sweep of air, her daggers flashing up defensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade struck the ground she had been standing on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commoners in the crowd leaned forward, straining their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What just happened?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did she trip?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did the floor crack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-05-28T17:47:38.197Z","2026-06-01T04:28:28.562Z",1,"novelbin.me","b93ff91a81b80ef8c0d56e81fdb8438df57cf811f1c1bd3b21cc950623b6ed14","evolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-chapter-344","evolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-chapter-342",970,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolving-my-undead-legion-in-a-game-like-world-cover.jpg"]
