Chapter 315: One of the Three Heroes, Olivier
Chapter 315: One of the Three Heroes, Olivier
The moment the colossal golden ancient summoning array appeared, everyone present was left dumbfounded.
Many of them had attended the "Goddess's Trial" before, and while not everyone could activate the ancient ritual, they had witnessed it numerous times.
However, this was the first time they had seen a golden summoning array of such magnitude, and they couldn't even be sure if it was a typical ritual for summoning ancient warriors.
As the golden magic formation gradually faded, transforming into countless golden light points that converged into a figure at the Holy Realm Gateway, many in the audience were stunned.
The figure was a golden-haired elven maiden, and judging by her appearance, she seemed to be around the same age as Nocturne.
However, as an elf, a long-lived race, determining her true age was challenging.
The golden-haired elf maiden held a blue holy sword and wore a half-body armor predominantly in gold and white. Her mana was so powerful that it distorted the surrounding air. The regular spectators in the audience were amazed by her dramatic entrance and the sheer amount of mana she exuded.
Meanwhile, the hidden Shadow, the other Shadow Courtyard members, and the bald bishop overseeing the Goddess's Trial exclaimed simultaneously, "Alpha (Olivier)!"
Indeed, the golden-haired elf maiden bore an identical resemblance to Alpha, but as a ritual-summoned ancient warrior, Alpha being a modern individual, it was impossible for them to be the same person.
Upon hearing the bald bishop's exclamation and observing the figure on the field, Shadow and the others could probably deduce her identity.
Olivier was one of the Three Heroes who subjugated Diabros, and she was an elf.
The so-called Three Heroes were the three individuals who had reached the pinnacle of their respective races and vanquished Diabros—an elf, a beastman, and a human.
Consequently, Diabros' curse befell the descendants of these three races, giving rise to the so-called "Demon Possessed."
"How is this possible? Someone managed to summon Olivier!"
The bald bishop, a high-ranking member of the Diabros Cult, was astounded by the elven maiden's appearance. He had a deeper understanding of the "Goddess's Trial" than most.
Behind the Holy Realm Gateway was a research base of the Diabros Cult, where they conducted forbidden experiments, revealing the true nature of the Holy Land.
The "Goddess's Trial" was merely a defense mechanism of the Holy Land. When faced with powerful intruders, the ancient summoning array would summon ancient warriors of equivalent strength to combat the invaders.
According to the bald bishop's knowledge, the most formidable ancient warrior in that ancient battlefield was the Calamity Witch Aurora and one of the Three Heroes, Olivier.
In terms of individual strength, Olivier was naturally inferior to Aurora. However, the Aurora summoned here would likely possess the strength of only one arm of Diabros during his prime.
In other words, the strongest entity the Holy Realm Gateway could summon was probably one of the Three Heroes, Olivier.
However, as one of the Three Heroes, Olivier—no, Aurora as well—were not individuals who could be summoned easily. Aside from strength, they required an exceptional level of compatibility to be summoned.
At this moment, Olivier appeared before everyone.
"So that's how it is. One of the Three Heroes? Nocturne is the hero of this world, so he summoned the legendary hero, which is quite fitting."
"If it were me, would I have summoned the main antagonist? Like Diabros, the Demon?"
The audience watched as Olivier stood there, expressionless, with his hands gripping the Holy Sword. Lord Shadow was extremely envious of Nocturne.
After all, this was the perfect opportunity to show off, and the strength of someone named 'Olivier' was astonishing at first glance.
Although he looked identical to Alpha, the Mana Aura emanating from him and his powerful presence completely overwhelmed Alpha.
"Did you hear that? The Bishop just said that person is Olivier!"
"Olivier? The hero from the novel? But isn't he a fictional character?"
The bald Bishop's exclamation was so loud that everyone nearby heard it, and soon the name 'Olivier' spread throughout the audience.
As for Diabros, the Demon, and the Three Heroes, ordinary people had heard of them, but they always thought they were fictional stories. They never imagined that they were real.
This wasn't surprising, as when Sida showed off in front of the young Alpha and the others, he also saw the novel next to him, which had fictionalized the Diabros Cult as the villains. Who would've thought it was actually real?
Not only that, but even the plot and progression of this world seemed to be in perfect harmony with Lord Shadow's showmanship.
However, these were all side notes. Olivier's appearance directly brought the 'Goddess's Trial' ritual to its climax.
With the appearance of the legendary Three Heroes, it seemed that the legendary stories they had always believed in were actually true.
And if someone could summon Olivier, one of the Three Heroes, then the upcoming battle would undoubtedly be a high-level affair, far beyond the previous skirmishes.
If Nocturne didn't make an appearance this time, Annelore, one of the Seven Swordsmen, would undoubtedly be the MVP of the Goddess's Trial.
After all, she had successfully summoned an Ancient Warrior and was the first to narrowly defeat an Ancient Warrior in this trial.
But the situation was different now. Nocturne not only created an unprecedented spectacle but also summoned Olivier, one of the Three Heroes. Naturally, everyone's attention was focused on Nocturne.
Setting aside the rest, even if Nocturne couldn't defeat Olivier, one of the Three Heroes, the mere fact that he could summon such an existence was enough for him to boast for a lifetime.
"Nocturne Omiga? I heard your name in Valtaria before. This Heart Shrine Competition might become even more interesting."
Like ordinary people, Annelore also knew that the Demon and the Three Heroes were real.
But she never expected Nocturne to summon Olivier.
Just from this, Annelore knew that Nocturne's strength and Mana Power surpassed hers, as the summoning ritual called forth ancient warriors based on the challenger's strength.
Olivier was naturally stronger than the ancient warrior she had summoned, which meant that Nocturne was even stronger than her!
