Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

This time, the battle was different from the last; this time, a Son of God led the combat.

「After the meeting...」

Arno found Jiang Chen. "Jiang Chen, this battle is different. Eighteen Sons of God will lead the teams. It's a trial from All Gods for the Sons of God. Failing this trial means losing status and disqualification from the [Order] Sequence."

"Even Sons of God must undergo trials?"

"Yes. Every year, many new Sons of God join the [Order] Sequence. Their abilities vary greatly, so to maintain the standards of the [Order] Sequence, All Gods conduct these trials."

"How many Sons of God are there, exactly?"

"Probably around one hundred thousand!"

One hundred thousand? Damn, that's a lot!

Sons of God were all of the Divine race, descendants of Demigods. These individuals were Sons of God from birth, controlling vast resources. For them, the starting line was already the finish line.

To put it bluntly, even a pig, if born to a God, would be a descendant of a God.

Jiang Chen asked quietly, "How strong is that Eleanor?"

Arno shook his head. "I'm not sure about that. But even if she isn't exceptionally strong, she's still more powerful than me. The eighteen Sons of God may appear harmonious on the surface, but they secretly compete with each other."

"The most powerful among them is Christie Burton of the Christie Family. He's incredibly strong and commands a Fallen Legion."

"And then there's Milton, whom you've already encountered."

"There are many other Sons of God. Just be careful. If you perform exceptionally well on the battlefield, it's highly likely other Sons of God will target you," Arno reminded him.

Could it be that those who rank last will be punished? Or perhaps the bottom few will be punished, demoted from the [Order] Sequence to the [Disaster] Sequence? Who cares! Jiang Chen was only focused on increasing his Level.

Jiang Chen nodded. "I understand."

「Inside the conference room.」

Eleanor had called a meeting, with eighteen people seated below her.

Eleanor spoke first, "One hundred kilometers to the northwest, there's a small town. We must capture it. You eighteen legion commanders will each have a deputy commander assigned to you, following behind to supervise your combat."

The expressions of the eighteen commanders changed drastically upon hearing this.

So, this means no slacking off now.

They were well aware of the Underworld Clan's strength—it was anything but ordinary. It might take seventeen or eighteen of their own to deal with a single one of their warriors.

Eleanor, noticing the change in their expressions, continued, "Your daily progress will be reported to me. They are merely there to supervise your combat, not to send you to your deaths."

"Of course, they will also provide relevant advice. These are experts I've handpicked, all powerful individuals from the [Disaster] Sequence."

"This time, no matter what, I must secure first place, or at the very least, be within the top ten. Otherwise, not only will I be punished, but so will all of you."

"This is a trial from All Gods for the Sons of God, and it is also my trial for you."

"Dismissed. Rally your legions and begin moving northwest."

Tens of thousands marched in a vast procession toward the northwest, with Giant Dragons soaring in the sky, while Jiang Chen walked on the ground.

Angelina looked up at the sky with envy. "When will my Giant Dragon start to grow?"

"It's still too early! It will take at least a year."

「Several hours later.」

A small town appeared ahead, encircled by high city walls, upon which towering warriors stood. Warcraft, comparable in size to Giant Dragons, circled in the sky.

Jiang Chen finally saw the Underworld Clan for himself.

They were about five meters tall, with stout, robust figures, clad in Armor, wielding War blades, and sporting deep red Demon's Horns on their foreheads.

Eleanor floated in the air, extending her right hand. Jiang Chen felt the Magic Fluctuation and looked up at Eleanor, surprised that she was already launching a magic offensive attack.

At that moment, a red flame gathered in Eleanor's hand.

The flame quickly expanded, and she fired a magic artillery shell at the town a few hundred meters away. The projectile of fire shot out rapidly, striking the town.

Just then, a member of the Underworld Clan stepped forward. With a wave of his hand, he created a mirror of light. The magic artillery shell struck the mirror and instantly rebounded, bombarding the legion on the ground.

BOOM...

A powerful explosion resounded.

Several dozen Heroes in the vicinity died, leaving a huge crater.

Jiang Chen was startled and quickly activated his skills, [Tian Gang Sword Body] and [Flash in the Void], whispering, "Angelina, stay close to me at all times."

"Okay."

Eleanor's brows furrowed, and she began to gather magic again.

Jiang Chen looked on in astonishment. Is she really a Son of God? Or just an idiot? Didn't she see that the enemy has skills to reflect magic damage, yet she still dared to cast magic?

Arno quickly warned, "Lord Son of God, the enemy can block magic and reflect it! Magic might be ineffective!"

"This time, I'll see how they reflect my magic."

Eleanor chanted an incantation and extended her right hand. A black cloud gathered above the town, crackling with accumulating thunder and lightning. Simultaneously, two members of the Underworld Clan chanted, and a mirror of light enveloped the entire town.

At this very moment.

Jiang Chen sensed imminent danger and tightly gripped Angelina's right hand.

Countless bolts of lightning rained down from the sky.

The magic struck the reflective surface, and the mirror instantly rebounded the spell, redirecting it straight back towards Eleanor's forces below. Jiang Chen, pulling Angelina along, executed a [Flash in the Void].

They rapidly dodged to safety.

Jiang Chen wanted to curse loudly: Idiot! You knew perfectly well the enemy could reflect magic, yet you still used it? Are you completely insane?

Several hundred people were struck by the magic and fell dead instantly.

Jiang Chen heard the Underworld Clan members on the other side laughing incessantly.

What are they laughing at? Probably at this moron for daring to cast magic again.

Jiang Chen really wanted to give Eleanor a good thrashing.

"My Lord, we mustn't use magic anymore! Their skills are very unique; they can reflect damage!"

"It seems close combat is our only option now."

"Only through close combat can we definitively take this town."

Eleanor nodded. "All Heroes, prepare to attack!"

Jiang Chen roared, "Attack your mother..."

Arlene turned to look at Jiang Chen, her face a mask of shock.

Arno was similarly startled.

Everyone turned to stare at Jiang Chen. Eleanor's face darkened with fury; this Hero dared to curse her.

Eleanor demanded angrily, "What did you just say?"

"I said, 'attack your mother.'"

"How dare you question the decision of the Son of God!"

"Who are you to insult the Son of God?"

"Which legion is he from?"

Arlene rushed to Jiang Chen's side and whispered, "Jiang Chen, apologize quickly! Don't you know who that is? That's Lord Son of God Eleanor! How could you—"

Jiang Chen shouted, "What couldn't I dare?

"The first magical probe might have been excusable. But you clearly knew the enemy could reflect magic, yet a dozen Heroes died! You damn fool, you then launched a second magic attack, killing hundreds more Heroes!"

"And now what? A direct assault? Do you even know the enemy's formation? Do you know how many Magicians they have?"

"Attacking like this—aren't you just sending the close-combat Heroes to their deaths?"

"They're positioned on high city walls, capable of launching magical attacks at any moment! How can you order an attack without any understanding of the enemy?"
