After that quite powerful girl stepped aside, no more adventurers, wizards, or even swordsmen were willing to humiliate themselves with their poor skills and step forward. Even Sword Emperors and powerful Wizards couldn't leave a scratch on that chest, let alone weaker ones.
"Is there anyone else?" The old man stood in his place and squinted at everyone.
At this point, many adventurers fell silent. They finally realized that there was no such thing as a hamburger rain falling from the sky. This old man pulled out the coveted magical item and divine fruits, but he was willing to give them away. One could only imagine how great his strength and skills must be, so trying if that old man couldn't do it would be a big joke.
"Let me try, maybe I can do something!" When everyone else had given up, a loud and prominent voice was heard. A young man walked forward with firm steps, demonstrating his powerful battle aura.
This man seemed to have enough strength to step on anyone present with his impressive aura. His gaze revealed a perceptible disdain towards everyone, and he had a sword with a deathly aura at his waist. With this sword, this man seemed to have unimaginable power.
"He's one of Aleksander's followers!" An adventurer saw the seal on the proud figure's shoulder and emotionally announced his identity.
The expressions of many present changed after hearing that he was one of the followers of Aleksander, the current God of the Sword in the North. That immortal man was someone many had heard of, and anyone present inevitably had to respect him.
It is said that Aleksander had many disciples, hundreds of them scattered all over the world, and many still followed him. After all, he was a God of the Sword, possibly one of the seven world powers. His influence in the current era was greater than that of the ancient dead or sealed Gods.
In the current land under the apparent calm of the continents, anyone would be moved when the current Gods were mentioned. In the last Human-Demon War, the God Kalman III was the most prominent God in that war and fought incredibly strong beings until his bones were broken.
At that time, his entire clan had been massacred by the Demon God, so with everything they had, all the descendants of Kalman fought tooth and nail to avenge the one who had overthrown them from power and crushed their prestige as the immortal race.
Today, after several days of Kalman III being absent since he arrived in the city, how could they not be surprised to see a follower of such a God now? In everyone's mind, the apprentices of this man would be at least a Sword Saint.
"A follower of Aleksander, even if he's possibly just a disciple, that doesn't mean he would have the abilities to break that stone chest." A demon snorted at the sight of that arrogant figure.
The disciple named Jupiter stepped forward and looked at the stone chest in front of him. Then, he snorted coldly and unsheathed his sword.
He raised a violet sword in his hand. The sword, in addition to its color, emitted slight flashes of electricity. However, although they were weak signs of electricity, it was like a huge death scythe held by Jupiter. He raised his sword and used the North Blade style, which amazed many at the level of mastery of that battle style.
There wasn't much electricity on the outside of the violet sword since it all traveled inside. However, it was harnessing its own great power with the technique it was about to use.
"An elemental sword..." Noticing that electricity traveling inside the Violet sword, a man with strange eyes involuntarily shouted.
Upon hearing the three words "Elemental Sword," many swordsmen unconsciously stepped back in amazement. An Elemental Sword, this was a sword practically from a God!
When everyone saw this swordsman named Jupiter holding a sword full of character, they all retreated because they didn't want to be affected. "This is a sword I got in a dungeon. In the world, as long as I take good care of it, I will be able to defeat my lord someday!"
Jupiter didn't wait any longer, took a step forward, and swept the entire space in front of him with his attack.
Boom!
When the tip of the sword touched the stone chest, a thunderous sound broke through the magical barriers and even cracked the structures around. Electricity was then released, and everyone except Gilgamesh's group retreated dozens of meters.
But at this moment, when everyone thought this would be able to open the stone chest, the word "Impossible" was written on their faces because that powerful attack couldn't open the chest.
"Impossible!" Jupiter couldn't help but shout. He couldn't believe that the chest hadn't received a scratch!
Everyone's eyes widened in complete disbelief. With such an unimaginable sword, that was enough to kill a Sword King in one blow. However, that power was not enough to tear the stone chest.
"How is this possible...?" Jupiter took a deep breath.
"That sword isn't bad... However, compared to the black sword of the lady over there, it's not even close to matching it. That black sword was used by powerful swordsmen, and she managed to perfectly suppress the killing intent."
The old man's words startled everyone present, and they all looked at the black sword held by the girl in black before stepping back in fear. No one thought that this black sword was an inherited sword used by many swordsmen.
Since the origin of the black sword was revealed, the look of the girl in black cooled into a killer's intent that seemed like it could annihilate the sky.
"Girl, you haven't fully mastered that sword yet, so it's better not to use its full power..."
Although the killer intent of the girl in black was monstrous and absolutely fierce, she knew that she had encountered a powerful person this time and dared not make a reckless move.
"Do you still want to try?" The old man averted his gaze, then looked at Jupiter, standing in front of the stone chest, as he asked.
Jupiter, furious, stomped his foot and withdrew to the sideline. Although he was unwilling, he stepped back.
"Anyone else want to try?" The old man laughed and looked at everyone, then spoke slowly: "This old man will be stationed here until the Ancient Street closes. If someone wants to give it a try, don't hesitate to do so. Of course, I also welcome everyone to call their friends and masters, spread this good news, and let someone else try."
The old man's words left everyone speechless. Did someone even want to jump up and curse him? This was just a deception, right? Even a man who was a Sword Emperor couldn't open that demon's chest.
Although any of the three treasures ahead was coveted by everyone, when even the powerful failed, others couldn't even dream of opening it.
"Haha, the useless ones can't open that stone chest. It's surprising that something so simple can't be solved by so many present." When everyone was silent, a voice full of mockery was heard clearly.
When these words came out, everyone looked at their origin and saw a golden-haired man holding the waists of two beautiful women. They immediately felt unhappy, then saw the other two beauties behind him and became furious. Even Jupiter got upset.
"Your words sound really confident." The old man looked up and squinted, staring at this man who seemed to pretend to be ordinary.
Gilgamesh, who was always standing on the side to watch the fun, slowly walked forward at this moment and looked at this stone chest while calmly saying, "To me, opening this stone chest is an extremely simple matter."
"Hmph, boasting isn't just about words but also about experience and ability!"
Gilgamesh's words caused many people present to become annoyed. There were many prestigious and strong beings who had tried it, so that was like spitting in everyone's faces.
"What grand words!" Even Jupiter got upset.
Gilgamesh simply didn't care about the crowd and looked at the stone chest before revealing a sinister smile.
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Gilgamesh, then said, "If you can open it and are so sure, then you can try. Once opened, you can take anything inside the wooden box."
Gilgamesh calmly looked at those objects and said, "Maybe those items are something out of this world for you, but for me, they're not good enough to make me move my hand."
