In the official game forum, the chat was going insane—lines of caps lock, donation alerts, and screaming emotes filled the screen.
...
Monke232: Guys, tell me this is a dream! Is Sir Broken really going to fight three Hero Ranks at once?!
Balicoda: That seems to be the case, and he’s not even frightened.
Owen_Thompson: Dang, he’s even making the first move.
Jermel_Taylor: This level of confidence...
Dragonlord_Jayga: Those eyes, Sir Broken has enough fight in him!
...
"Stubborn, huh? Well, I don’t really like them submissive!" Blurka Bosistoru’s laughter echoed across the battlefield.
Blurka met him first, her dual crimson blades flashing with unnatural speed. Steel clashed in a spray of sparks, the impact reverberating up his arms.
However, no one was pushed back. They seemed evenly matched, swords locked.
Thrixia came in from the side, spear thrust aimed at his ribs. Without looking, Gabriel twisted, using Blurka’s momentum against her. The flat of his blade knocked her weapon wide before he stepped into Thrixia’s range.
CLANG!
’Strong,’ Thrixia gasped as they clashed, which only excited her more when she thought of all the things she could do.
Although he couldn’t read her mind, Gabriel seemed to understand what she was thinking. His expression hardened even more.
The next swing came down with crushing force, the red glow—resulting from him overcharging his weapon—intensifying until it erupted in a shockwave.
BOOM!
The shockwave directly pushed Thrixia two steps back. Nothing too impressive, but sometimes impossible to achieve for a Level 50 Adventurer.
Swoosh!
Gabriel’s hair tingled when he sensed an attack from behind.
"Iron Body!" he muttered, quickly activating his defensive skill.
CLANG!
Gabriel groaned softly as Blurka’s attack connected, his health points dropping by three!
Iron Body was still too low to easily take the full brunt of powerful enemy attacks. He wouldn’t bleed, but his internal organs would still be shaken up!
"You’re more sturdy than I thought," Blurka grinned, hiding the trace of surprise in her eyes.
She had expected her strike to pierce into the human’s skin, yet the only thing she achieved was a soft groan.
During that brief moment of distraction, Gabriel quickly spun around and smashed his free fist into her lower abdomen.
BANG!
Blurka hadn’t expected the attack. Her eyes widened in shock, and she staggered back.
Throg finally reclaimed his cleaver axe and charged with a roar, swinging in a wild arc meant to split Gabriel in half. This time, Gabriel didn’t dodge. He raised Crimson Judgement, meeting the blow head-on.
BANG!
The collision sent a shockwave ripping through the battlefield, scattering leaves and dust. Both weapons vibrated violently, but Gabriel didn’t yield—his strength was monstrous, far beyond what they expected.
Throg’s eyes went wide, his green skin paling. "Impossible..." he muttered in a trembling voice.
"Not even the ugliest person out there is as ugly as those two!" Gabriel said coldly. "You can have them both!"
Then he shoved forward. The force tore the cleaver axe from Throg’s hands and hurled the massive goblin back into a tree, splintering it on impact.
BANG!
So far, Throg was the only one he could easily overpower—mostly because he was much weaker than the others, and Gabriel had fought enemies at his own level more than once.
On the forum chat, thousands of fingers were typing at once!

DracoDominus: Dammit, he’s really doing it!
Coty_Lockhart: How long do you think he can hold on for?
JackyBlack: 5 minutes at most if the goblins go all out!
OmegaYellow: Nah, this is Sir Broken, I give him unlimited time!
Darkbow74: You’re delusional—they’re three Hero Rank at once!

In the real world, Doodle and Noel were torn on which screen to display for the viewers.
On one side, Scarlett was facing two goblin generals. On the other, Gabriel was facing three goblin generals at once.
Doodle was biting his fingernails. The Adventurer Guild had really found themselves in an unfavorable position.
A quick scan with his eyes confirmed they were the only group who had encountered the red-skinned goblins.
In the end, they could only split the screen between the two fights. However, the battle viewers were most concerned with was Gabriel’s.
Scarlett was already a powerful Hero Rank in the game—she could definitely handle herself. However, the same couldn’t be said for Gabriel, who was much weaker.
"Although he’s pulled off miracles in situations that shouldn’t be possible, I think this could be the end of the road for Broken Heaven," Noel commented grimly.
Doodle didn’t say a word, only stared at the screen with a blank expression.
In a luxurious mansion in the upper area of town, Ragnarok99 was pacing while looking at the large screen displaying the current fight.
He kept checking the time for when he could log back into the game, but time seemed to be crawling at a snail’s pace.
"Dammit!" Ragnarok99 growled as he kicked the table, flipping it upside down.
In the Valerian Kingdom viewing center, the commentator was holding his breath, just watching as everything played out.
Of course, the viewers didn’t think the goblin generals could infiltrate their city, thanks to the presence of the king and other hidden powerhouses.
However, the same couldn’t be said for those out there in the wilderness.
"This year’s competition is far more exciting than I thought," a mysterious man whispered from the crowd. With a small smirk on his face, he added in a barely audible voice, "I should disguise myself more often and come watch these events."
Blurka recovered, wiping the corner of her mouth where a thin trickle of blood formed. Her eyes glinted with murderous intent. "You dare strike me, human?!"
"I’ll do worse," Gabriel replied coldly, shifting Crimson Judgement into an aggressive stance.
While the fight was raging on, several figures wearing the ChaosKnight Guild insignia began to appear in the scene.
Naturally, their leader was none other than Icequeen herself.
"Alright, now is the perfect time," she addressed her guild members quietly, then added in her mind, ’I hope neither of them keeps his end of the deal.’
