Chapter 1551: 521. From vowing to win to striving for the last survivor’s spot! - [Monthly Ticket Extra 3/10]_2

Everyone who has been following this battle is intimately familiar with the four failed attempts made by the warriors over the past few days.

They have watched the match from the very beginning, witnessing the warriors’ dismal and almost laughable first attempt, their rapid progress during the second attempt, their steady and solid approach in the third attempt, and their near-success during the fourth attempt.

In yesterday’s fourth challenge attempt, forty warriors successfully made it to the transition point between the second stage and the third stage, enduring long enough to enter the phase where Lady Shani, a third-tier Golden combatant, provided powerful support.

According to Miss Doris, the "challenge commentator," Governor Murphy’s health dropped below 20% during yesterday’s attempt, entering what was described as the "execution phase."

Although local residents might not fully understand the significance of these terms, the Transia people, who have always been astute in matters of combat, grasped that the warriors were mere steps away from defeating Governor Murphy.

This realization brought anxiety to some while exciting others.

Regardless of the audience’s emotions, these four failed attempts have already proven two essential points.

First, the mountain warriors from Ceris tribe are truly extraordinary! Not only are they skilled in combat, but they are also adept at extracting lessons from intense battles and adjusting their strategies. Their coordination, their instincts, and their indefatigable spirit are qualities worth learning.

Second, Governor Murphy is exceptionally strong!

Despite being a Black Iron-tier Graveblade Guardsman, he held his ground against forty opponents without faltering.

This was within the confines of the sewer—a terrain that hindered movement and nullified any flight abilities. The warriors also intentionally chose daytime, a period of weakness for vampires. If the battle had taken place in an open area during the night, those forty warriors might not have survived the first stage.

Ah, our Transia Governor is truly formidable!

Understanding this, it becomes easy to see why, over the ten days of Holy Blood Festival, local support for Murphy has increasingly solidified.

The Transia people revere strength!

When a powerful figure provides them with protection and leadership, this reverence—under subtle guidance—can easily evolve into obedience and loyalty. In this sense, Murphy’s decision to hold the Governor’s Challenge during this particular period was a calculated and effective move.

At 3:30 p.m., the final challenge match began promptly.

Once again, psychic projections were broadcast live in the square, but this time the members of Miss Phemys’ "Red Devil Hall" were dispatched in full, using four different angles to "live stream" the final challenge. This increased the number of psychic screens in the square to four, creating a dazzling array of imagery for the audience.

At the edge of the crowd, Major Ron sat next to Colonel Fraser, proudly clutching the charity gambling king plaque and trophy. Surrounding the two were several Golden Flower officers, who were preparing to return to the barracks later in the afternoon.

Their eyes remained focused on the psychic screens in front of them.

As a representative of "foreign forces," Colonel Fraser hadn’t missed a single challenge match over the past few days, driven by a fervent desire to discover the limits of Murphy’s strength.

This question was also one of interest to Marshal Loren.

As Murphy had already been labeled an adversary of the Pioneer Army, gathering as much useful information about him as possible was imperative for devising effective strategies should future conflicts arise.

"I really don’t think we need to stand here watching this ridiculous competition," Major Ron said, stroking his "grand prize" as he whispered to Fraser. "Large-scale public matches like this almost always have predetermined outcomes. There’s no way that vampire lord would risk losing face in front of all these citizens by staging a genuine challenge."

"And even if he’s an exceptionally strong Black Iron, wouldn’t your four Silver-tier guards be able to take him down effortlessly? Once power surpasses certain tier differences, no level of skill can compensate for the disparity in raw strength."

"You should listen to what my guards have to say," Fraser replied, keeping his unwavering focus on the psychic projection screen ahead.

One of the nearby Silver-tier flower swordsmen lightly shook his head and softly said to Major Ron, "Even forgetting whether the four of us could kill Governor Murphy, considering the speed and unique abilities he has demonstrated in battle, just cornering him would be a substantial challenge. Moreover, I’m convinced that Murphy hasn’t showcased the entirety of his combat prowess during these matches."

"Locals have long whispered tales that Governor Murphy once faced a Golden-tier opponent and emerged unscathed."

"I used to dismiss such stories as laughable exaggerations, but after personally witnessing four matches, I’m beginning to think there’s some truth to the legend."

Major, I admit that tier-based power differentials are often decisive, ensuring easy victories in most scenarios. However, this principle doesn’t apply to those we recognize as ’combat geniuses.’ Geniuses are born to defy conventions."

"Are you saying Governor Murphy is a genius?"

Major Ron furrowed his brows.

The flower swordsman shook his head and said, "The word ’genius’ is merely a term we ordinary individuals use to describe exceptional people. Governor Murphy clearly transcends such categorization. If you analyze these matches carefully, you’ll notice that throughout the four days, Governor Murphy has relied solely on his swordsmanship to engage his opponents."
