Whoosh —
After being hit by Elvin's [Coil Cannon] with all its might, the sea seemed to have been pierced. A huge amount of seawater was lifted, shattered, and evaporated by the irresistible force, turning into a vast white mist that rose into the air.
The long spear went straight into the water, who knew how deep it went.
The huge tunnel left behind along the way was filled up by the surrounding seawater in the next moment, forming a huge whirlpool that was difficult to measure.
However, the three-meter-tall giant was as immovable as a heavy cliff in the whirlpool. His armor fell off, his skin was greenish-black in color, but his body was covered in a layer of blood-red Qi flames.
Kungang Taita, who had barely escaped death, opened his blood-red eyes and let out a long breath that smelled of rust.
His appearance was a little frightening.
Half of his left arm had vaporized, and the upper part of his chest had begun to leak. Even his internal organs were almost exposed.
But the majestic blood-red flames on his body seemed to have condensed into a solid substance, filling up the flesh in these places. His arm could not regenerate, but he would not die because of this.
At the same time, he easily pushed away the seawater under his feet, making him unaffected by the whirlpool.
As a priest of a true god, how could Clappenson, who had been paying attention to the battle here, lack buff divine spells?
[Battle Faith]: With faith as a prerequisite, it is not limited to faith in God, but any faith worth fighting for. As long as the faith is not extinguished, even if the injury is severe, the combat power will not decrease.
It was originally used by the Church of Eternal Fire's Fiery Knight. They relied on their firm faith in God to create this miracle of ignoring physical injuries.
Obviously, the reason why this Iron Wall Knight could survive was because of some faith in his heart. He was not inferior to the Fiery Knight at all!
But because of the difference between a Level 2 priest and a Level 3 Steel Knight, the Great Knight's combat power could not be locked at 100%.
At this moment.
The Steel Knight, who still retained his consciousness, had a cold expression. He did not have any other thoughts in his mind except for one. This wizard … must not be allowed to live!
If the unknown "witchcraft" had not hit him, but the "Steel Dragon" behind him, he would not have been able to escape.
Probably including the Grade 2 Bishop Clappenson, none of the crew members would survive. If he were to appear on other battlefields, this spell alone would not be inferior to the [Extraordinary Weapon: Reverse Cross Halberd] of the Imperial Guard Commander.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His lonely right hand gripped the heavy sword, and he started walking again.
The Steel Knight flew towards the Wind of May like a train that had lost control. The white beam had torn apart the fog, revealing the location of Elvin's real body.
He had already seen Elvin, who was wearing the standard wizard robe of "Violet Eyes" and dressed like a wizard.
In mid-air.
Looking at the Steel Knight in such a state, Elvin was silent for a moment. For all enemies who had activated buffs, the best way to deal with them was to temporarily avoid them.
No matter how long-lasting the buff was, it definitely wouldn't last for more than half an hour. Once the buff was over, it would immediately become a soft-footed shrimp.
However, the presence of the Maywind left him with no other choice but to face it head-on.
He knew, but the Steel Knight knew even better.
If he chose to fly away, regardless of whether the Steel Knight had 80% or 60% of his strength left, he alone could wipe out the Wind of May in half an hour, and even sink the warship.
If Elvin was only an official wizard, it would be a difficult choice to face a great Knight head-on. Unfortunately, he was not …
"Small matter, no big deal."
He casually took off the wizard robe that was in the way of camouflage.
Similar to the Steel Knight, Elvin also wanted to use his true strength as a Grade 3 wizard and beat him to death with his iron fists.
So.
Luxu.
A red magical light shot out from Elvin's fingertips, and like lightning, it struck the Steel Knight, who was obviously not very agile.
[Witchcraft: Flesh Riot]
This had become Elvin's signature move against warrior-type Extraordinaires. It was fast, targeted, and not fatal, but disgusting enough.
"Eh, why did my hand move on its own?"
It's not my fault. My body moves faster than my brain. Before I could react, the magical light had already flown out.
That's right, that's it.
However, the giant's body only trembled for a moment before it calmed down.
[Physical Liberation — 100%!]
The supernatural power of a Grade 2 official Knight came from the Violent Body. The process of physical liberation was actually a process of increasing the Knight's control over his body.
It did not seem to be effective against a great Knight.
"A … Brigadier General?"
However, when Kun Gang saw Elvin's clothes clearly, his body trembled again. It was a reaction even greater than when he was hit by witchcraft.
The first thought that came to his mind was that the Kingdom of Faletis had sent a great Knight that he had never seen before, but he quickly dismissed this thought.
According to the rules of every country, other than civil servants, a general was usually a great Knight or an official Knight who had made a great contribution. Elvin did not have the Life Force of a great Knight, so it could only be the latter.
Moreover, he had clearly used a powerful witchcraft. It was common knowledge that after Grade 3, one could not pursue both the path of a Knight and a Sorcerer.
It was obvious that this was not a great Knight that was not mentioned in the information, but an official Sorcerer who had made a great contribution through witchcraft.
He did not even bring a sword with him. He only held an ornate ruby staff in his hand, further proving this point.
Almost shocked by the uniform, the Steel Knight's already red face turned even redder, almost turning into a purplish red. He was furious.
"A mere official Sorcerer …"
Elvin did not care what he thought.
* Rumble! *
Like a bolt of lightning, the wings on his back carried wind and thunder. Elvin had already shot in front of the Steel Knight from mid-air, out of his expectations.
The ruby staff in his hand suddenly sprang open, and a ray of cold light pierced his eyes.
Borrowing the force of the descent from the sky.
[Sudden Thrust!]
A series of disguises, both real and fake, caught the Steel Knight off guard. He only had time to raise his right arm and use the heavy longsword in his hand to protect his head.
* Clang! *
The thin sword pierced the Steel Knight's exposed muscular chest, which was blood-red and had a greenish-black tint to it. However, it did not pierce through as Elvin had expected.
There was a trembling sound of metal clashing, as if a heavy hammer had struck an anvil. The Steel Knight's feet left the water and he was sent flying.
Elvin frowned, the tip of his foot on the waves, and followed closely behind.
[Sword Style, Wave Jump]
Vitality 6.6, Strength 6.5, Agility 5.9.
He was already half a step into the level of an experienced great Knight, and he was also a rare person with the vitality attribute.
In mid-air, Elvin, who saw the opponent's data, thought quickly.
"The Steel Knight doesn't just refer to the set of excellent transcendent armor. This guy's defense has already reached the level of being as tough as steel. He really deserves his nickname."
The Knight did not have any supernatural powers before Grade Two. It could be said that he only had brute force and no supernatural powers.
However, after reaching Grade Three, he had clearly turned over a new leaf. Unlike before, he had the supernatural power of combat aura, and he was no longer an existence at the bottom of the transcendent chain.
Although he was sent flying, the Steel Knight was not injured again with his strong defense. Moreover, even if he was injured, with the buff of Combat Faith, his combat ability would not fall again.
Roar!
With a violent roar, a sound wave mixed with a demoralizing effect rushed toward Elvin, who was close behind him.
[Profound Meaning, Battle Roar]
Combat aura flames spurted out from the soles of his feet. The Steel Knight turned around and counterattacked. The greatsword in his hand turned pure black again.
After one strike, he was shocked to realize that this was a Transcendent who had cultivated both the path of a wizard and a Knight. Although he did not activate his combat aura, his physical strength was only below his own.
He was a strong opponent!
[Profound Meaning, Vengeance]
[Profound Meaning, Defensive Stance]
However, Elvin's body flashed with electricity. He used [Divine Power] to easily destroy the Battle Roar. He also easily dodged the counterattack of Vengeance. Then, he turned into a phantom and surrounded the giant who was far slower than him.
The two-handed greatsword in the Steel Knight's hands turned into a sword storm, steadily blocking the sword rain that was quickly splashing around him. Even if there were occasional gaps, they could only leave white marks on his skin, which had a defense that was comparable to a demon's.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the battle on the surface of the sea, water splashed and sparks flew in all directions. The fierce wind stirred up waves.
With one attacking and one defending, the towering and unmoving Steel Knight faced Elvin, who appeared and disappeared. It was as if he was fighting the entire world.
The military swordsmanship of various countries was mostly the same. Although it was not a profound transcendent secret, it was as if it had been tempered thousands of times in the hands of the Steel Knight.
This was clearly a veteran soldier who fought steadily and grew up step by step from the bottom. Although his moves were simple and unadorned, he did not have any obvious shortcomings or weaknesses.
Although his movement speed was not good, he had an exaggerated defense and a decent attack speed to make up for it.
This was because the path of a Knight required one's willpower. No one could take shortcuts.
Even if he was born in the royal family, he could receive unlimited resources to cultivate. However, when it came to the Great Knight's willpower, what could be done was done, and what could not was not done.
It could be said that every Extraordinaire who had reached the level of a Great Knight in this world had their own unique characteristics.
Humility (Loyalty), Honesty, Compassion, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Soul.
With these eight great virtues as the core, every Great Knight would have to choose one of these as the path they would pursue for the rest of their lives. They would not change it until death.
During the ancient feudal period on the continent, most Great Knight took the path of humility (Loyalty), Valor, and Honor. This was determined by the needs of the kings and lords.
Among the nobles, most of them took the path of Compassion and Justice because they were superior.
Among the Holy Knight of the Church, most of them took the path of Soul (the understanding of God's will), Sacrifice, and Honesty because they had to be close to God and the believers.
In this era, the dependence between individuals was gradually loosening. It was like a hundred flowers were blooming.
This Steel Knight was able to climb up from the bottom step by step. It was obvious that his willpower was extremely strong. He also had the support of the upper class of the kingdom.
The most likely path he took was the traditional path of Humility (Loyalty), which was also the source of his [Battle Faith]'s power. Under Elvin's attacks, his power seemed to be endless.
In the battle with such a powerful opponent or an excellent training partner, Elvin gradually forgot about everything. Witchcraft, poison, firearms … Even the powerful [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship] that he obtained from the Spirit Realm.
He only used the pure [White Fan Swordsmanship] that he had cultivated for ten years and completely engraved into his bones to fight against his opponent.
[Divine Power] was withdrawn. There was a faint white mist lingering on the blade.
There was only one thought left in his mind. Kill his opponent!
[Sword Style: Floating Boat]
[Sword Style: Wave Jump]
[Sword Style: Chirp]
.....
He slowly fell into a strange state of full concentration. Every move was at his fingertips and gradually merged into one …
Suddenly.
A seed seemed to have sprouted in Elvin's heart. The intermittent white mist on the blade finally stabilized and condensed into a solid form!
The swordsmanship that had been stuck at the Expert level for a long time had been quietly surpassed by him.
The next moment.
Psst —
A ray of snowy light brushed past the Steel Knight's cheek. Blood spurted out.
"Sword Aura!"
The Steel Knight's pupils shrank to the size of a needle. His cold and hard face finally changed color.
This was the symbol of a swordsmanship master — Sword Aura. It also had another name, "Steel Cutting Realm"!
After ten years of swordsmanship, Elvin finally reached this level. His face was calm, but there was a sharp light in his eyes.
The Thunder Breath in [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship] could achieve the effect of breaking a longsword in half. It was even more domineering than the "Steel Cutting Realm". The disadvantage was that it needed to be charged in advance.
However, after his swordsmanship reached the Master level, his casual sword was still sharp and difficult to block. If the opponent's weapon was slightly inferior, it could even be directly cut in half.
He stepped on the waves with the tip of his feet. His body turned into a gust of wind. The frost-like Sword Aura jumped, jumped, and spun on the long and narrow blade. Two sharp air currents spread out behind him like wings.
Elvin's tall figure suddenly disappeared in front of the Steel Knight.
Psst —
The moment the two illusory Wind Wings swept past the Steel Knight's body, they suddenly intersected like a giant pair of scissors!
"Uh …"
[Transcendent Profound Meaning: Wind Scissors]
He reappeared ten meters behind the giant and sheathed his sword.
When he looked behind him, the Steel Knight, who had been like copper skin and iron bones, had already … shattered!
