In the Thousand Planes of Existence, one's rank did not represent everything.
Rank was only used to differentiate the strength of the same species at different stages.
However, once the species was different, the difference in strength would not be as obvious.
Take the few people in the arena for example. They were all rank 3 on the surface, but if they really went all out, the outcome would be completely unexpected.
To put it simply, the rank 3 Thunder Dragon, Armes, could easily defeat the Gold-tier Knight, Lambert.
Both of them focused on strength and physique, with spirit as support. They had both physical strength and magical power. However, Armes relied on his powerful dragon physique to suppress Lambert, who was also a warrior of both magic and martial arts.
Hence, even though both of them were at Tier 3, the Thunder Dragon Armes only had to pay a small price to kill Lambert.
On the other hand, the rank 3 Thunder Dragon was no match for Grimm, who had the Blazing Monarch Set and Soden's Divine Ring.
If he also had the elemental equipment, Grimm might even have a chance to kill the rebellious rank 3 Thunder Dragon. The only reason why Armes was so obedient during this period of time was probably because of Grimm's rapid growth in strength.
Now, the rank 3 Thunder Dragon and the rank 3 elemental equipment were working together to attack the Holy Knight commander, Lambert. He could only roar and roar in anger, but it did not change the fact that he was being beaten up by the two of them.
If it were not for the large number of rank 2 Silver-tier knights rushing into the fray, using their bodies as shields and holy light as weapons, Lambert would have died on the battlefield.
Grimm did not participate in the siege. Instead, he stood quietly by the side of the arena. His Burning Eyes slowly scanned the buildings around him, his eyes showing a hint of disdain.
There were two rank 3 knights guarding the Holy Light Chapel, but only one of them came out. It was obvious that the other one was hiding in the dark, waiting for a chance to launch a sneak attack. And his target was most likely himself!
Hehe, if you don't come out, I'll force you out!
Grimm sneered in his heart and immediately started chanting the spell "Flaming Gate Summon".
In the Chapel of Holy Light, there were Fire Giants, Elemental Magic Machines, and Giant Dragons fighting to the death inside. It was a complete mess, and the Holy Knights were utterly defeated. If another group of abominable flaming creatures appeared, it would be even more impossible for them to continue fighting.
However, when Grimm was halfway through his incantation, the Sacred Hall behind him suddenly flashed with a white light. A snow-white sword ray instantly appeared behind him.
There was a series of crackling sounds.
The Flame Shield and Lava Shield around Grimm, who had transformed into a Fire Giant, exploded. They were completely destroyed by the sword that was imbued with powerful Holy Energy. The longsword swiftly slashed across the Fire Giant's waist, leaving a one-meter-long and half-meter-deep gash on the Lava Armor.
A stream of scarlet flames wrapped around the boiling magma and splashed out.
The swift figure dodged Grimm's Flame Giant hand, and with a backhand slash, he chopped off another two of the Flame Giant's fingers.
The consecutive injuries made Grimm furious. After transforming into a Fire Giant, his strength and vitality had indeed increased, but his agility had also been suppressed to an unbearable level.
Grimm did not want to play any more cat and mouse games with his opponent. He lifted his thick Flame Giant leg and stomped heavily on the ground. In the next second, a ring of flame suddenly burst out from his body, spreading in all directions in a ring-shaped manner.
Any creature within the range of the ring of flames would receive 220 degrees of fire damage, and would be pushed 50 meters away by the shockwave of the flames.
Resistance Ring of Fire!
This was a grade 3 fire spell that Grimm had carefully selected. It was optimized by the A.I. Chip, and it had both the effects of fire damage and the ability to repel enemies.
The Golden Knight who ambushed Grimm was obviously an agile swordsman. When he saw the ring of fire approaching him, he immediately dodged and retreated without hesitation. The shockwave of the flames was less than half a meter away from his feet, but it could not catch up to his opponent.
After dodging 50 meters away, the Golden Knight waited for the power of the flames to dissipate and turn into flaming fragments that scorched his skin. He then stopped and charged at Grimm like a bolt of lightning.
Although he would still be burned by the sea of flames, with the resistance of a grade 3 Golden Knight, he could still create a few more holes on Grimm's body before the Holy Light Barrier was corroded.
At their level, it was extremely difficult to rely on battle techniques and killing methods to kill an enemy without suffering any damage. Most of the time, they were fighting with one word, 'ruthlessness'.
As long as you are more injured than me, as long as I can recover faster than you … that's enough!
However, what Kenny did not expect was that the Fire Magus he was facing was not an ordinary Magus, but a close-range Magus who also had powerful close combat abilities.
With the elemental shaping ability of the Flame Emblem, Grimm's Fire Giant began to slowly shrink and condense. In the end, he turned into a terrifying figure that was three meters tall and covered in bright yellow flames. He condensed a Flame Shield in his left hand and a Flame Javelin in his right. He didn't give Kennett a chance to get close to him as he hurled the Flame Javelin at him.
In the field of vision of Grimm's Burning Eye, all the physical boundaries disappeared. The entire field of vision was filled with mottled colors of different sizes and shapes. With his Elemental Sight, Grimm could directly see the flow of magical elements in his field of vision. With his remote sensing, Grimm could roughly see the distribution of power in his opponent's body.
Red halos of different sizes and shades were distributed all over Knight Kennett's body, especially his legs, chest, and right wrist. They were not fixed, but slightly changed according to the Golden Knight's every movement.
Every time Kent's feet touched the ground and changed directions in a strange manner, the red glow around his legs and feet was simply dazzling and dazzling to the eyes. Every time Kennett rushed to Grimm's side and attacked, the right wrist that held the sword would burst forth with power.
However, what caught Grimm's attention the most was the large milky white halo on Kennett's chest.
Countless white threads extended from it, connecting to most of his limbs and organs. It was with the support of the white light that Kennett was able to maintain his ghost-like movements.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm was able to successfully defend against the Agility Knight's sneak attacks. Kennett's sneak attacks were detected by Grimm in advance. If not for Kennett's agility being much higher than Grimm's, he would have been injured by the Flame Spears.
This was the multi-purpose battle support system that Grimm and the A.I. Chip had spent a long time to come up with.
According to Grimm's initial plan, this system should at least allow him to completely control the battlefield. No matter how many enemies there were, no matter how strong they were, his power could not be everywhere and at all times. Hence, Grimm, who could see through the situation and predict the future, could roam the battlefield as he pleased.
He would roam the weakest spot of the enemy, roam the place where the enemy could not exert their full strength, and then find an opening to attack, using the least amount of energy and the lowest risk to kill the enemy on the spot.
However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel!
To control the battlefield, he needed to see through the enemy's movements. The A.I. Chip's current abilities were enough to deal with normal people. However, to deal with opponents of the same rank or higher, he needed to see through energy, elemental vision, long-range sensing, motion capture, and other abilities, as well as massive amounts of data.
Using all these abilities required Grimm to expend a great deal of his mental strength.
With his current spiritual force, he could not use it for a long period of time. At the very least, he could not do it on the battlefield of life and death.
No, it should be said that the A.I. Chip could not do it!
Right now, the A.I. Chip could only provide simple elemental vision and energy vision, but it could not completely grasp the opponent's movements. After all, the higher the rank of the enemy, the sharper their reactions would be. When they sensed the changes in Grimm's battle stance and attack methods, they would immediately adjust their battle strategy.
Hence, when the A.I. Chip calculated the enemy's next move and attack stance, not only did it have to take into account strength, vitality, agility, spirit, battlefield environment, and other factors, it also had to calculate the enemy's possible reaction after his attack stance changed.
All of this required an extremely powerful data processing ability!
The current A.I. Chip obviously could not do it.
However, even if it only provided the simplest support, it was still a great help to Grimm's battle!
At least, in the eyes of Knight Kennett, the fellow he was fighting was simply a demon that could read minds. No matter what tricks he used, no matter how he tried to confuse his opponent, he would be able to throw the Flaming Javelins at the places that made him uncomfortable.
Many of the Flaming Javelins that he thought were thrown wrongly were proven to be terrifying after a few flicks of his fingers. This was because Kennett had actually been forced to send himself to the place where the Flaming Javelins had exploded.
Although most of the flames were blocked by the Holy Light, the power of the Holy Light condensed in Kennett's body was rapidly being consumed. Once the power of the Holy Light disappeared, Kennett would not be as unharmed as he was now in that terrifying burning domain.
