The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

On the field, Benjamin could no longer pose any real threat to Matthews. Through previous encounters, Matthews had already figured out the fatal weakness of his opponent's boxing style - too much emphasis on frontal force.

However, it is not good enough to deal with multi-angle attacks, that is, it lacks comprehensive defense. It can be said that this boxing style is strong in attack but weak in defense, and is not suitable for fighting the weak against the strong.

Matthews had obviously overestimated Benjamin's close combat ability before, but now he had completely controlled the rhythm on the court. He felt an unprecedented sense of venting in his heart, as if he wanted to pour out all the boredom and pressure that had been accumulated recently.

Master Claude looked at the situation on the field and said to Grand Duke Sochin, "Grand Duke, what should we do? Benjamin is obviously no match for Matthews."

Grand Duke Sochen gnashed his teeth and answered simply and firmly: "Let the battle continue." In his mind, Matthews' previous words echoed - he promised not to take Benjamin's life. It was based on this promise that Grand Duke Sochen decided to let the battle continue.

In the eyes of Grand Duke Sochin, Benjamin had always defeated his opponents with overwhelming strength and had never experienced a true test of life and death.

And this battle may be an opportunity for him to grow. Even if Benjamin is injured in the battle, he can learn lessons from it and become stronger. Therefore, he chooses to believe in Matthews' promise and let the battle develop naturally.

After Matthews vented his emotions, the depression and repression in his heart disappeared instantly, but what followed was an indescribable emptiness and boredom.

Benjamin, who was still fighting with him at this moment, was covered with wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood. He looked like a bloody man and looked extremely miserable.

Matthews looked at this once majestic and arrogant opponent, who was now being ravaged by him into such a miserable state, and his heart was filled with ripples.

He felt a complex emotion surging in his chest, including the joy of victory and deep emotion for Benjamin. He realized that this battle was not just a simple battle of victory or defeat, but also a spiritual experience and growth.

Matthews no longer wanted to fight, so he decided to end it all as soon as possible. He quickly used the joint lock technique to dislocate Benjamin's arms cleanly. Then, he kicked out hard, sending Benjamin flying and falling to the ground unable to move.

As Benjamin fell, the entire arena fell into a brief silence. The audience was stunned. They couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes. They looked at Matthews with awe and shock in their eyes.

The reason why Matthews did not kill was not out of mercy or to keep his previous promise, but out of consideration for future plans.

He didn't want to cause any more trouble because of this matter, which would have an adverse effect on the wizard apprentice selection he was about to participate in. Therefore, he chose a method that could ensure victory without causing more trouble.

After the battle, Matthews felt the solemnity and awe of the people around him, but a sense of loneliness and solitude emerged in his heart. He understood that although he won the battle, his path as a warrior was still full of challenges and he needed to move forward alone.

At this time, Grand Duke Sochin and Benjamin's two teachers jumped into the field, and they eagerly checked Benjamin's injuries. After an intense examination, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that although Benjamin was unconscious, he was not in danger of life, but was a little too miserable, with almost no intact parts of his body.

Grand Duke Sochin cast a meaningful look at Matthews, and finally nodded, expressing his respect and recognition for Matthews. Then, he carefully picked up Benjamin and quickly left the arena.

Archduke Leo, Hunter, and Charles had stood beside Matthews without him noticing. They looked at Matthews with complicated expressions on their faces, feeling genuinely happy about his victory, but also shocked and awed by the powerful strength he displayed.

They seemed to see Matthews' potential to become a top player in the future, and they were also full of expectations for his future.

When Matthews and his companions were about to leave the arena, a knight guarding the arena came over in a hurry, holding a heavy treasure chest in his hands, with a smile of respect and joy on his face.

He walked up to Matthews, handed the treasure box to him with both hands, and said respectfully: "Mr. Matthews, this is your share as a participant in the competition, and it is also our arena's congratulations on your victory. Please be sure to accept it."

Matthews quickly glanced at the treasure chest, and saw the gold coins flashing an alluring light under the light. He nodded lightly in response to the knight.

Sensing Matthews' fatigue, Hunter stepped forward without hesitation and took the treasure chest from the knight. Matthews and his party then hurriedly left the arena, knowing that they had to return to the hotel as soon as possible to allow Matthews to get enough rest.

A few days later, Grand Duke Leo summoned Matthews to the old training ground, his eyes filled with deep trust and expectation.

"Matthews, just as we agreed at the beginning, even if you cannot pass the selection of wizard apprentices, I will still fulfill my promise and marry one of my granddaughters to you." Grand Duke Leo spoke slowly, his voice revealing a firm determination, "Therefore, in my eyes, you have never been an outsider."

He paused and continued, "I have decided to teach you the entire Rio Sword. This set of swordsmanship is the treasure of our family. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and is still very powerful. I believe that only in your hands can this set of swordsmanship truly exert its due power."

After hearing this, Matthews felt a warm current in his heart. He bowed deeply to Grand Duke Leo to express his gratitude, and said firmly: "Grand Duke, although my last name is not Leo, I always regard myself as a member of the Leo family. The Leo Sword is in my hands, and I will definitely not let you down."

Grand Duke Leo looked at Matthews with satisfaction and encouragement in his eyes. He walked to Matthews, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and then taught Matthews the essence of Leo's fast sword without reservation.

He explained in detail the key points of each movement, the application of each technique, and how to combine swordsmanship with fighting spirit to unleash the greatest power.

Matthews listened attentively, his eyes flashing with determination. When he used this sword technique, he felt unprecedented smoothness and naturalness. This sword technique perfectly matched his inner temperament, as if he was born to master such a sword technique.

He firmly believed that this set of swordsmanship was deeply rooted in his life and became the core and soul of his existence.

It is worth mentioning that after defeating Benjamin, Matthews became famous and was invited to various banquets. At first, he attended several banquets hosted by nobles with Hunter and Charles.

But at these parties, Matthews encountered unpleasant situations. Many young women and even married ladies made direct and explicit sexual advances and teasing to him.

Although Matthews was not a man of high moral character, he was deeply influenced by his motherland's 5,000-year-old culture and felt extremely uncomfortable with this kind of physical friction that lacked emotional foundation and foreplay.

Therefore, Matthews flatly rejected all subsequent invitations and devoted all his energy to the practice of fast sword and ghost step.

In comparison, Hunter is a beast in human form. He seems to be quite keen on such occasions and has participated in them many times. Charles is even worse than a beast and completely enjoys it.
