On the Golden Courier Road that separated the rainforest from the green sea.
Whoosh —!
Boom —!
Elvin's feet were covered in dust as he flew out like a wisp of green smoke. It was a superb technique that almost represented the limit of a Tier 2 Knight.
On the other hand, the "Clockwork Man" opposite him was powerful. Every step he took shattered the earth and sent dust flying. It was the ultimate strength of an ancient Tyrannosaurus rex.
The trees on both sides of the courier road that were at least a few meters away were also affected. There was no need for the blades to touch them. The fierce force was enough to crush the tender leaves on the branches.
Even the pirates who were watching the battle from afar felt a prickling pain on their skin, as if they were being pricked by needles.
It was a tragic scene that looked like a collision between planets.
Ding!
But there was only the faint sound of weapons clashing. It was like a roller coaster that had suddenly stopped. It was so uncomfortable that it made people want to vomit blood.
But the power was restrained in an instant, and then it suddenly exploded.
Boom —!
The two of them were suddenly sent flying by each other's combined strength. Like two whistling cannonballs, they smashed into the rainforest on both sides of the courier road.
Crackle, crackle …
Along the way, they smashed countless shrubs, ferns, and trees in the rainforest. They plowed out two long paths in the green sea.
Obviously, neither of them had the upper hand in this all-out attack.
"Hahaha … There's actually a newcomer like you among the pirates. This sea seems to be getting more and more interesting!"
Relying on the fact that he didn't feel any pain, the "Clockwork Man" Billy Buddha tore off the rags on his body, completely revealing his shiny metal body.
Whoosh —!
He jumped up from the ground and returned to the courier road in just a few leaps. His faintly glowing red eyes were constantly shrinking, and he easily locked onto Elvin's figure on the other side of the rainforest.
Looking at the clockwork key that had retreated half a circle and only a quarter of its overload state had passed, he grinned and rushed into the rainforest.
"Hahaha, kid, your body is quite strong! But don't worry, we still have a lot of time! "
Obviously, even if the opponent wasn't weak, he didn't think that he could lose.
A moment later.
In the whistling wind.
Crash! Boom! Clang! Clang!
The sounds of grass and trees being destroyed, the muffled thunder, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard incessantly. It was as if there were two wild beasts that were at least ten meters long fighting to the death in the forest. Even the ground was trembling slightly as if there was an earthquake.
Bang!
The rainforest was pierced through again. A figure leaped across the road and smashed into the rainforest on the other side. Another figure followed closely behind.
The two of them, who were already far superior to their peers, had now reached their limits.
It was obvious that he was strong enough to crush a regular Tier 2 Knight. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have Extraordinary energy like combat aura, it could almost be regarded as a battle between two Grand Knights.
"Huff …"
The high-intensity battle had already lasted for two minutes. At this time, Elvin also felt the pressure that he had not felt for a long time. This monster that was artificially created through witchcraft must have used a lot of precious materials.
Even though Elvin, who had a "magic bag", had changed his Transcendent half-sword twice, his opponent's body, which was made of a bright gold unknown metal, still didn't suffer any obvious damage.
Even as time went by, the "steam furnace" implanted inside the body of the clockwork man showed no sign of weakening at all.
Even the two thin, straight blades were already broken under the heavy load.
However, the clockwork man was able to turn every part of his body into a powerful weapon. Every punch, every elbow, and every kick was as heavy as a battering ram that weighed tens of thousands of kilograms!
Boom!
A tree that was as wide as a man's arm was broken by Billy's heavy kick. Elvin rolled to the side and dodged the blow. The flying sawdust had already turned another tree behind him into a beehive.
Just as Elvin was considering whether he should break his "White Knight" persona and use witchcraft, or use a trump card that was beyond the level of an Grand Knight.
The clockwork man picked up a thick tree trunk and was about to swing it at Elvin when an uncoordinated cracking sound came from his waist again.
Obviously, the more delicate the body structure was, the more powerful the [Curse of Misfortune] would be.
"Damn it!"
"Here's my chance!"
The moment Billy Buddha's body stiffened, Elvin took a deep breath and bounced up. His sword was faintly shrouded in white mist as it flew toward the metal head that was the center of the body.
Slash!
Even though Billy Buddha tilted his head at the critical moment, the blade still grazed his forehead.
The long-brewing Cutting Steel Realm cut a small part of the metal body and took away half of his red eye, and perhaps … some unknown parts.
Ever since Billy Buddha had been transformed into this appearance, he had never been so close to death. The threat of death and the damage to his hardware instantly shattered the human part of his mind.
The next moment, the red light in his single eye suddenly went out, and a cold, mechanical sound like a music box came out.
Crack! Mode switch! Cheetah!
Whoosh!
Billy Buddha clenched his fists, and three claws with faint blue light shot out from the back of his hands. They were obviously poisoned.
A thirteen-segmented tail extended from his spine, and he jumped between the trees on all fours. Like a feline, he pounced on Elvin with a fishy wind.
His speed had increased by nearly 20% compared to before!
At this moment, Elvin didn't dare to fight with the [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship] that he hadn't mastered yet. His body suddenly blurred, and it was impossible to tell how many phantoms he had created.
[Sword Form — Wave Jump!]
Puff!
Agility versus Agility. The winner was decided in the blink of an eye!
Between the two of them, who were standing back to back, there was a huge hole in the green sea, and the golden setting sun shone down on it.
At the intersection of light and darkness, Billy Buddha, who had transformed into a large cat, was lying on the ground. His neck, which was still made of flesh and blood, had been cut in half by Elvin's quick sword.
Billy Buddha's left claw, which had suddenly shot out like a cannonball, pierced through Elvin's right chest. The long claw went through his chest and came out from his back.
Drip … Drip …
Drops of blue blood dripped on the ground. Before the powerful self-healing ability of a peak-level Knight kicked in, a small puddle of blood had accumulated.
The white mask on his face was also sent flying by another claw, and there were three long claw marks on his ordinary-looking young face.
Obviously, it wasn't Elvin's own face under the mask.
He had used a scaleless eel-like fish called the Black Sea Whitefish to make a camouflage mask using the method of "Activated Animal Skin." It didn't have any combat power, but it could slightly change a person's facial features.
This included Milan, Gary, and a few others who often had to switch identities between the navy and the pirates.
The claw marks seemed to have disfigured Elvin's face, but in fact, they didn't touch his real skin.
"Puff …"
He reached out and pulled out the claw that was still in his chest. According to his body's self-diagnosis, he quickly drank a bottle of antidote for the symptoms. He drank half of a bottle of No. 2 Holy Water and poured the other half on his wound.
He also used his powerful body control to retract his blood vessels to physically stop the bleeding.
With the inhuman self-healing ability of a peak-level Knight, this kind of injury, although serious, was far from being life-threatening.
Unless there was another "clockwork man" in perfect condition, he would really have to … run away.
"Ka Ka …"
The shadows under his feet squirmed and silently dug away the puddle of blood along with the soil.
At this moment, Elvin turned around and looked behind him at the "clockwork man," who had been hit in the vitals and should've died.
Sizzle …
However, all he saw was the flesh on his severed neck churning and gradually fusing back together. Not much blood flowed out.
While Elvin was treating his wound, the "clockwork man" had clearly recovered. However, he looked down at the clockwork key that was about to complete two revolutions in front of his chest.
The "clockwork man," whose subjective consciousness had clearly fallen into a deep sleep, once again spoke in that strange mechanical voice.
"Overload state is about to end. Automatic command: Retreat!"
Sou! Sou! Sou!
He leaped to the top of a tree and disappeared without a trace with a few leaps.
Looking at his departing figure, Elvin didn't chase after him. Instead, he went forward to collect the blood that he had spilled on the ground and fell into deep thought.
Is it the Super Regeneration ability of the body?
Why do I feel that this guy has a familiar scent?
Although it's a little unfamiliar, it seems to be in the same vein as the School of Revitalization. Could it be … a mechanized Flesh Puppet?
He made up his mind to go back and study the blood of the "clockwork man" in his hands to see if it had anything to do with the lost second volume of the School of Revitalization!
.....
Tap … Tap … Tap …
After Elvin bandaged his wounds and changed into a new set of clothes, he walked out of the rainforest again. When he saw what his subordinates were doing, he was immediately amused.
Those who needed to gather the mules and horses were doing so. Those who needed to count the spoils of war were doing so. Those who needed to deal the finishing blow were doing so. It was as if they weren't affected by the suffocatingly powerful "clockwork man" at all.
You guys are really f * cking careless! You have so much confidence in me that you didn't consider what would happen if I lost?
Milan didn't know if others had confidence in Elvin or not, but he was full of confidence.
Not to mention the School of Revitalization's witchcraft that was extremely effective against pure physical attacks, even the "Blood Lake" in his "magic pocket" that had been charged by the crown prince's Stage 3 guard before he came to the New World was enough to turn the tables.
Therefore, he didn't even ask about the outcome of the battle. Elvin's return was enough to explain everything!
"Come and see! Although I'm not poor, I've never seen so much gold and silver in my life! "
The battle was completely over.
The pirates finished off the wailing Shilius soldiers on the ground one by one. Among them, the Arawaks were the main force.
However, under Elvin's restraint, at least they didn't hang the Shilius up and skin them like their other compatriots.
At the same time, following the seagull's guidance, other than those who were smashed to pieces on the spot, the mules and horses that were frightened by the violent explosion were also recovered.
In the end, Milan and the others tallied the final harvest:
Gold ingots worth a total of 50000 gold lions. This amount of money was enough to build a brand-new first-level battleship!
Although this strategic weapon could no longer be equated with money, it was still something that couldn't be bought with money.
However, one had to know that so far, due to various conditions, the total number of first-level battleships in Faletis was only in the single digits.
In addition, there was also silver, which had a value similar to gold and a total weight of 42 tons.
There were also large gems of various colors whose value couldn't be estimated for the time being.
Compared to this enormous wealth, the four tons of silver that Faletis had lost earlier was nothing!
As for the coachmen recruited by Shilius, those who were unfortunate enough to die in the flames of war were spared. Elvin didn't kill any of the lucky survivors either. Since he had embarked on the path of a "righteous bandit," he naturally had to abide by the rules he had set.
He couldn't just change his military uniform and start killing civilians in the blink of an eye, right? Even if he became a pirate from today onwards, he still had to have a bottom line.
Elvin even followed the tradition of a "righteous bandit" and left a Shilius gold coin for each of the surviving coachmen.
Everyone gathered again, and Elvin clapped his hands lightly.
"Come! I'll perform a magic trick for everyone. Please turn around. "
Then, he snapped his fingers.
Pa!
"Ka ka …"
A black lizard the size of a crocodile that didn't reflect light leaped out of Elvin's shadow and turned into a black "swamp." In the blink of an eye, it had swallowed the mountain of treasures into the "shadow vault."
When the pirates turned around again, all the treasures had disappeared without a trace.
"Ah!"
In the eyes of the new members, their monstrous captain was shrouded in a mysterious veil.
Reverence and irresistible seed had been quietly planted in their hearts. As time passed, it would continue to take root and sprout, and then spread the seed far and wide.
Standing in front of the team, Elvin was in high spirits. At this moment, it was as if he couldn't even feel the pain in his chest. He waved his hand.
"The operation is over. Return! Split the loot! "
"Roar!"
"Long live the Lord!"
