Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

"Then, let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, Russell launched the first attack. Although Russell looked like a roughneck, he was using a rapier. The slender knight's longsword was wrapped in a green light, and the longsword turned into a shooting star, rushing towards Roya's location.

Russell took a step forward, and despite his enormous size, he was surprisingly agile.

In almost the blink of an eye, Russell had already rushed in front of Roya.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya adopted an upper stance, which was naturally intended for attack.

Russell appeared to be running straight towards Roya, but just before reaching Roya, he suddenly took a step, and his speed actually increased again. Taking advantage of this brief increase in speed, his figure flashed and moved, even though his whole body looked like it was all muscles.

But he was able to react so swiftly, and the next moment, the strong man appeared beside Roya. The knight moved as fast as lightning, and Russell suddenly thrust out his sword.

The movements were fluid and seamless, a dazzling display that left everyone speechless.

The adventurers and knights standing nearby were stunned.

The dazzling maneuvers were indeed a feast for the eyes.

However, his muscular physique is somewhat unsettling.

A similarly burly man had a strange expression on his face. He turned his gaze to the knight beside him and said somewhat oddly, "Him, uh, I mean your knight commander, is this his style? He seems a bit odd."

The knight was equally puzzled, his expression somewhat bewildered.

In fact, Russell has always appeared to be a rough and uncouth man from the beginning. His fighting style is also very simple: it is a bold and unrestrained style of fighting, which is both rough and sophisticated, and he will occasionally use a few sneaky moves.

But the tricks Russell is using right now are basically all dirty tricks.

First, he charges at the front at a seemingly fast speed, leaving room for his opponent to get used to Russell's speed. Then, he suddenly accelerates and adjusts his position to deliver a lightning-fast sword strike.

This strategy sounds very ordinary; it's a very simple approach.

However, often the simplest tactics are the easiest to outwit and kill.

Russell usually gives the impression of being a reckless burly man, and even when using sword skills, he wouldn't be able to deliver such swift slashes. At first glance, he seems to be a power-type character.

But who would have thought that the man was actually an agility-type character?

The bulging muscles on his body and the pectoral muscles that look like they could dance are all a lie.

Even standing behind Roya, Roya didn't make a move. Seeing this, Russell's lips curled into a sinister smile.

Although he was still a little uneasy, he could see that the other party had a sword to his neck and had not reacted.

This should be a sure win.

However, the closer the sword was to piercing Roya, the more Russell felt something was wrong.

Russell is a veteran of countless battles. When he trained and sparred with everyone before, he did not show any speed-related attributes, just so that everyone would deliberately focus on him in that direction.

Russell's disguise was excellent, and his own strength was also very high, with extremely high basic attributes. Even without using his strengths, he could easily beat up the adventurers present.

His disguise was flawless; the reason he exposed his true strength this time was entirely because the sense of crisis brought by Roya was too strong.

It was so powerful that Russell wondered if he would be taken down with a single sword strike if he held back when facing Roja.

Without the slightest hesitation, Russell's strategy was very clear: first, a feint attack, then a deceptive move, followed by a sudden and powerful strike, aiming to eliminate the opponent before they could react.

However, if the students of the Sword Sanctuary knew about Russell's idea, they would definitely be laughing all the way to the bank.

Brussels is very strong, that cannot be denied.

But he actually thought he could defeat a sword god in one move with his speed.

Even mid-tier powers wouldn't dare to claim they could defeat a lower-tier power with a single move.

It was also at the moment when the longsword was about to pierce Roya.

A slash appeared in Russell's line of sight as it approached from afar, and then the slash filled Russell's field of vision.

"Light Returns".

A cold voice came.

Chapter 296 My Own Knight

The incredibly fast slash arrived first, quickly catching up with Russell's sword strike, and then abruptly intercepted the longsword. The terrifying force, like a flood bursting its banks, relentlessly impacted Russell's knight's sword.

Russell's face turned pale, and his longsword was knocked away. Before Russell could react, a hand grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.

The force was so strong that Russell could barely breathe. His face turned bright red in that instant, and he instinctively reached out and grabbed Roya's right hand tightly.

Luo Ya raised an eyebrow and let go.

The powerful knight landed on the ground, panting heavily, greedily inhaling the fresh air.

"I'm telling you, aren't you being a little too strong?"

Russell's gaze turned strange. He reached out and touched his neck, and a burning pain shot through him at the slightest touch.

Roya's expression remained calm. Perhaps Russell's strength was indeed not bad, but that was all.

Defeating the opponent is a matter of course.

Everyone was now in a state of profound shock.

"What's this kid's name? Roya?"

"This kid is so scary."

"Even Russell was defeated? By the way, does anyone know how many moves they exchanged?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.

The skinny adventurer who had spoken earlier said somewhat uncertainly, "It seems... it seems to be a move as well."

It was only then that everyone realized just how terrifying Roya's strength truly was.

If it's true that Roya defeated Claire in just a few breaths, it could be explained by Roya's considerable strength.

But now that even Russell has entered the arena, he still can't withstand a single move from Roja. This can no longer be described as simply being strong.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

Even Russell was no match for him, just how terrifying is his strength?

No one dared to think about it further, and all eyes turned to the two people on the stage.

Alice's eyes sparkled as she watched the competition below, a smile playing on her lips, her face beaming with joy.

Alice sat up from the chair, her white skirt swaying slightly with her light movements. As she stood up, her cherry blossom-like lips pursed slightly, and she called out to the young man below, "Brother, you're amazing."

The young man turned around, and his plain face finally changed slightly. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he smiled and nodded at Alice above.

As Russell stood up, he witnessed Roja and Alice's interaction, which made his already somewhat upset mood even more bitter, and a self-deprecating smile crept onto his lips.

Having spent so long in the palace, even as a knight commander, he had never seen a girl with such a happy smile.

Russell sighed softly, trying his best to soften his tense, square face.

The knight, who was in his thirties or forties, said to Roya in a deep voice, "Roya, you are very strong. The strong have always had privileges. I can't teach you anything, so, as I said before, you can have your own time. I don't think anyone has any objections."

At this point, Russell glanced at the adventurers around him.

Their eyes may hold envy and awe, but there is absolutely no jealousy.

This is a privilege that the strong should have. If even this privilege is not available, who would be willing to risk their lives for the kingdom?

Alice, standing on the stage, nodded slightly. The girl's expression became serious. At this moment, she coughed a few times, attracting everyone's attention.

Luo Ya looked at the quirky little girl on the stage with curiosity, feeling that she had become different after meeting him.

Alice winked at Roya, then slowly said, "I want Lord Roya to be my knight."

The girl paused, taking in the gazes of the crowd.

Everyone was still in shock, seemingly not yet recovered from the shock that Roya had brought them earlier.

Even after hearing Alice speak like that, he still didn't react.

Alice thought for a moment and then added a sentence: "My knight alone."

Only then did everyone show expressions of surprise.

Russell clicked his tongue, pondering the meaning behind Alice's words.

Russell had assumed that Roja and Alice had a special relationship.

But now it seems that this is nothing unusual. On his first day in the palace, he received an invitation from His Highness, and the very next day he became His Highness's confidant.

Being a royal confidant is not something just anyone can do.

Although the so-called confidants and privileges were not much, simply being by the princess's side was a great privilege in itself.

Claire was able to become Alice's knight partly because she came from one of the most powerful families in the country.

Thinking of Claire, Russell couldn't help but cast a few pitying glances at her.

When some people gain favor, others will inevitably fall out of favor.

Even if Claire isn't exactly out of favor right now, who would feel good about suddenly having a competitor?

Sure enough, upon closer inspection, Claire was spotted in the crowd, her eyes lowered and her expression somewhat forlorn.

The short, golden hair seemed to dim slightly in that instant.
