Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger!

"S-SHYE CROWLEY EMERGES UNSCATHED!!" Corey exclaimed in utter disbelief.

He saw with his own two eyes how Shye ate the attack head-on, and all it did was give him a few insignificant bruises?!

'Is Shye Crowley even human?!' was the question that resonated in the minds of Corey and the adventurers from Krevar City.

Meanwhile, a certain someone in the crowd started acting high and mighty, as though she was Shye Crowley herself.

"Hah! I knew it. How could my boss be taken out that easily? Did you guys forget? He's invincible!"

Hearing Seira's words that echoed across the arena as though she spoke through a microphone, Shye couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hahaha, hear that? I'm indeed invincible and you guys should never have come here."

"Bullshit! I don't believe y–..."

"Then don't"

Before Tom could even finish his words, Shye already destroyed his throat, transforming him into an azure ray of light that shot out of the blue dome.

With Dodge unconscious, only five remain—five adventurers who were starting to regret their decision to storm Balkrow City.

They could've simply accepted that someone conquered the dungeon faster than them.

But now, not only did they lose the dungeon rewards, but they would also lose their reputation and a sizable chunk of their coin reserves.

Even though they were renowned adventurers in Krevar City, once news spread that a rookie from Balkrow had defeated them in a one-on-seven match, they would lose all respect in their city.

If such a thing happened, their careers were doomed to end up in mediocrity.

They cannot lose!

Fortunately, the purple world of the sword realm finally timed out, bringing back hope to the hearts of the five remaining adventurers from Krevar City.

Switching back to their original gear, the five took up their basic hunting positions: scouts and warriors in front, with archers, priests, and mages behind.

Without them noticing, they already treated Shye as though he was a high-ranked monstrous creature.

Well, who could blame them? After all, his performance was like that of a high-ranked monstrous creature.

"Ken, let's create a diversion for the backliners!"

"Got it, Greg!"

The scout named Ken and the warrior named Greg charged forth, one attacking from the left and the other, from the right.

Recognizing the intentions of the two, the archer named Lina immediately started firing mana arrows while the priest and the mage began chanting spells.

For a moment, things looked good for the Krevar party.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only for a moment though, as in the next, Shye disappeared from his current location, reappearing behind the priest with the help of two repositioning skills, [Dash] and [Blink].

Consequently, the priest, who was casting spells from the safest position, was caught off guard and killed by a single full-powered slap to the left side of his face.

He then seized both the mage and the archer in one swift move, grabbing them by their necks from behind.

"LINA! ARMAN!" Greg exclaimed in utter shock and disbelief.

They couldn't even protect their backline.

"S-S-SHYE CROWLEY SEIZES TWO EMERALD-RANKED ADVENTURERS AS THOUGH THEY WERE HELPLESS CHILDREN! HOW?! HOW COULD A ROOKIE BE THIS STRONG?!"

At this point, Corey was wide awake.

Why wouldn't he, when a rookie with only eight months of professional adventuring was overpowering seasoned emerald-ranked adventurers right before his eyes?

Moreover, these adventurers weren't some random emeralds.

They were all in the top fifty of their city's rankings with Dodge ranking at third.

For Shye to destroy them alone…made Corey, City Lord Felix, and the other emerald-ranked adventurers realize that Shye was a one-in-a-million-year genius who would not only be able to make waves in their region but probably the entire world.

Such a thought made everyone shiver in excitement.

They wanted to see how far Shye could go!

As for the match…it was approaching its end.

Ruthlessly slamming the faces of the mage and the archer to the ground, the two remaining backliners died and were transported out of the blue dome, leaving only two men: one warrior and one scout with shattered morale, onstage.

'Time to try something out!' Shye thought as he charged towards his two remaining opponents, killing them both with a single swing of his [Power Slash]-empowered greatswords.

Now, only an unconscious Dodge remained.

Grabbing the fallen party leader by the neck, Shye returned both greatswords to the system's inventory.

'Gravitational Drain!'

He then used his current ultimate mage skill, [Gravitational Drain], through his hands in hopes of trying something out.

If his guess was correct, he would gain another life- and money-saving skill.

Shortly after, a spine-chilling scenario happened onstage.

Dodge slowly withered while the bruises on Shye's body…slowly healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Had it not been for the Krevar party leader's strikingly decaying appearance, people might have noticed that his lightly bruised body had fully healed by now. Stay updated via empire

"T-THE MATCH IS OVER!! SHYE CROWLEY, OUR BELOVED CITY'S ROOKIE REPRESENTATIVE, SUCCESSFULLY BRINGS HONOR TO BALKROW BY MIND-BOGGLINGLY TAKING OUT SEVEN EMERALD-RANKED ADVENTURERS ALONE!! I SIMPLY CAN'T SEE THE LIMIT OF THIS YOUNG MAN! NEVER HAVE I SEEN SUCH A TALENTED PERSON! WILL HE BE OUR REGION'S VERY FIRST HERO?!"

Overwhelmed by passion, saliva flew everywhere as Corey announced the end of the match while praising Shye to the high heavens, allowing those who weren't as perceptive to realize the young man's true potential.

[Congratulations! You've earned 60,000 points!]

Indeed, at the legendary rate he was going, Shye would probably be one of the region's heroes, if not the first!

Unbeknownst to him, Shye acquired genuine, loyal fans—those willing to go the extra mile to monitor his ascent to prominence from a distance, gathering specific news related to him despite his status as a relative unknown.

Well…Currently, Shye doesn't care about such things.

Maybe in the future but for now, his happiness stemmed from the fact that he could use gravitational drain to absorb life force from others, allowing him to heal himself.

Although such usage sounded like something that would only be done by demons, as long as he wielded the skill responsibly, others wouldn't view him as an evil villain... probably…
