Chapter 374: Goalkeeper

“Ahhhh—”

Lilia screamed. There was nothing she could do but endure the torturous pain one-sidedly.

Time passed—no, time was meaningless here.

The gray rain finally stopped. Lilia had overcome the first judgment.

She looked up to find to her surprise that the world had changed again. Rolling dark clouds filled the sky, and the once desolate wasteland saw shoots of green. That was the color of life.

Lilia felt as if the vitality had come from her body, that she was bearing the torment to body and soul God felt when creating the world.

Dragon, lying on the divine seat, didn’t seem fazed. He had expected her to endure the first judgment.

Three seconds later, his eyes glinted, and he raised his left hand lazily, calling down the second judgment. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

“Thunder.”

The dark clouds rolled and writhed as rumbling thunder boomed from the sky like the coming of war. Soon, like countless sharp blades, gray lightning struck down on Lilia, tied to the judgment platform.

Rumble.

Boom.

The pain shot through Lilia’s head before spreading to other parts of her body, finally leaving through the soles of her feet.

Again and again, her very essence was relentlessly abused, her cries of pain drowned out by the booming thunder.

She felt like she couldn’t go on, and she felt the urge to drop to her knees.

But she didn’t. A voice in the depths of her heart warned her that if she knelt and submitted herself, what awaited her would be complete elimination.

At some point, thriving plants and flowers had taken over the land. The dark clouds dispersed, leaving the deep blue sky clear above the land brimming with life.

Still, Lilia remained on her feet.

She looked up at Dragon, as prideful as ever with a cold sneer tugging her lips, as if she was saying, The torment God went through when creating the world? It’s nothing.

Dragon remained unfazed and unsurprised. There were some people who could endure the second judgment; not a lot, but some.

In Dragon’s life, he had never met anyone who could endure the third judgment.

And with his Overlord at level 3, that was his limit.

He lifted his head slightly and opened his mouth.

“Four oceans.”

...

Meanwhile, White Tiger carried the dozens of noncombatants of the rear toward the Walled City of Ten Dragons, his defensive barrier acting as a golden airship.

Soon, the ship slowly landed. Then the golden barriers melted and returned to White Tiger’s body.

White Tiger was surprised, somewhat pleasantly so. I didn’t expect to be important enough for the pride monsters to send a tough one after me.

“Just die. I’m in a rush.” Sir Jin readied his stance. “I’ll kill you and everyone behind you before looking for Azure Dragon. He’s a worthy opponent.”

White Tiger’s lips twitched. Fuck, I’m being looked down on.

Without turning around, he took a step forward and said in a lowered voice, “Don’t go anywhere and stay behind me.”

“Elder White Tiger, I can fight...” Zhang Wei was just about to walk up.

“Stay behind me!” White Tiger shouted. It was the first time he had broken out of his usual personable attitude to make a serious order.

He didn’t have the time to explain to the kid how powerful Sir Jin’s punch had been. If he hadn’t blocked the punch but instead avoided it, the indirect force of it alone would kill two thirds of the noncombatants. To Sir Jin, they were insects he could easily crush with one finger.

At this moment, the only one who could protect them was White Tiger, but that was all he could do.

As a goalkeeper, he would never be able to defeat a star attacker like Sir Jin.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to. All he had to do was safeguard the goal, and in terms of defense, White Tiger was an expert.

Sir Jin shot out with incredible speed like the head of a speeding train, his momentum imbuing his punch as he aimed at White Tiger.

Hands balled into fists, White Tiger crossed his arms before his chest, conjuring a translucent golden shield before him.

Boom!

The strongest spear of the pride monster went head to head with the strongest shield of the awakeners.

The resulting shockwaves were powerful enough to shake the entire Walled City of Ten Dragons. Like a river getting split by skerry, the force of his powerful punch split and rushed to the sides. While those behind White Tiger were fine, the small gardens and trees on their sides were torn down like a typhoon had hit.

“Hahaha!” Sir Jin got excited facing a formidable opponent. “Let’s see how many more punches you can take!”

Leaping with both feet, he flew tens of meters into the sky with his right fist clenched and his body tensed, plunging down toward the central plaza of the Walled City of Ten Dragons like a falling star.

Shit!

White Tiger rushed into the crowd and raised his hands above his head.

Clink!

Energy continued to rush out of White Tiger’s hands, quickly spreading to form a hemisphere of golden barrier, shielding everyone.

The punch landed on the barrier, the fierce raw energy rippling in all directions. The one-meter thick barrier cracked, close to shattering.

White Tiger threw up a mouthful of blood, his feet sinking into the asphalt ground by half a meter.

But the awakeners around him, who had waited for death to come in the arms of their loved ones, were safe and sound.

They didn’t even hear the wind.

“Don’t...look down on me!” White Tiger growled with blood filling his mouth, pushing his hands upward to reverse the golden barrier.

Like a golden lotus, the barriers closed like flower petals, trapping Sir Jin inside.
