A quarter of an hour ago, in the Colddew Manor.
The flames from the explosion lit up the entire hill, illuminating the forest around the manor. Amidst the flames, the Imperial Guards were either dead or injured. Brando leaped over the manor's iron fence and landed in the forest. The siblings followed closely behind and landed safely on the ground.
Ciel flew behind them in the air, and when he left the manor, he threw out a force field wave behind him. The invisible force field wave that was a thousand meters wide shot out from his hand and crushed the outer walls of the manor into pieces as soon as it touched them. The iron fences on the outer walls curled up and broke, making ear-piercing screeches. The solid ground below also formed layers of ripples under the force of the huge force. The soil was unable to withstand the surface tension and instantly cracked open a few holes that were dozens of meters wide, blocking the city guard patrols that were chasing after them.
After entering the forest, Lin Sanjiu could see the lights of the Crown District clearly through the shadows of the trees. Only a river separated the Tessellate District from the Count Sheff District.
However, it was not an easy journey. As soon as Brando landed, he saw more than ten Flame Knights emerging from the forest.
The leader had a white wolf's mane on his shoulder. He was the successor of the Wolf Knight, Hillman. The wolf's mane on his shoulder was one of Hillman's spoils of war from the Battle of Homan Valley. However, the original had long been lost when the thirteenth Knight died. The one in front of Lin Sanjiu was a fake, and not even the first generation's.
The Wolf Knight's Element was Bloodlust. Once they saw blood, their combat power would increase exponentially. Hillman's successor naturally inherited this Element. He was full of confidence as he strode forward and swung his sword. In his opinion, his opponent was only at the pinnacle of the Truth Realm. As long as the battle lasted for a while, he would be able to hold his own. Not to mention, he had several companions behind him.
This was the first time in the history of the Flaming Knights that they had mobilized so many people. Nearly half of the 140 Flaming Knights were lying in ambush here. This plan was filled with unparalleled pride and confidence. No one would think that there was anyone in this world who could fight against half of the Flaming Knights.
The Flame Knight swung his sword at the Halran Gaia. 'What a fast sword,' he thought. 'This person must be at least a Sword Saint.'
However, the person suddenly took a step back and left an afterimage on the spot to block the Flame Knight's sword. Then, the person raised his sword and stabbed at the Flame Knight.
It was an ordinary strike, but it was enough to make the Flame Knight's successor tremble in fear.
This strike was called Nine Luminaries Sword Art.
With the Wolf Knight's successor as the center, Brando moved three times in a row and attacked with his sword three times in a row. Every time he took a step away from his original position, he would leave an afterimage and attack from different angles with different sword skills.
The four afterimages and Brando's original body attacked almost at the same time. The Hillman's successor tried his best to block three of the attacks, and his sword pierced through the throat of one of the afterimages.
But at the same time, a cold light flashed, and his head flew high into the air. The severed neck flashed with blood, and an arrow of blood shot up to the sky.
Brando's eyes were as cold as water, and his tense face was full of blood. He casually pushed the headless body of the Hillman's successor into a tree, and his expression didn't change at all. He continued to face the next Flame Knight.
The Flame Knight behind him was stunned. This wasn't to say that the Knight's mental fortitude was too weak. In fact, with a thousand years of memories, every Flame Knight had a fighting instinct and experience that ordinary people couldn't hope to reach. Not to mention, these Knights who were able to inherit the 'Flame's Blessing' were the best of the best in this era.
In the era of the War of the Holy Saints, the Flame King Gretel's Knights had experienced the most tragic battles. Those who were able to survive were all used to life and death. The death of their companions and enemies didn't cause any waves in their hearts. Even in the most bizarre situations, they were still able to maintain the necessary calmness.
But in the end, it was already a thousand years later. The experience of the Flame Knight of this era made it difficult for them to reach the level of the first generation of Flame Knights. They had unparalleled fighting experience, but they didn't have the coldness to see through life and death.
Therefore, the Knight was only stunned for a moment. By the time he reacted, the demon-like Brando had already appeared in front of him, bathed in blood.
Only then did the knight realize that he had made a fatal mistake. He made the correct decision at the last moment, raising his sword to meet the enemy. But Brando only took a step forward, and the heavy black blade of Halran Gaia was like the tip of the spear, piercing through the knight along with his sword.
The Knight's heart was filled with regret before the world fell into darkness. But regret couldn't change his fate.
The second one caused everyone present to be stunned for a moment.
Was this really the battle of the Flame Knight?
Brando continued to move forward. His next opponent was a middle-aged man with a thin face. He was quite handsome, and the white feathers on his cloak proved that he was a Knight Captain. Brando immediately recognized this person. It was Steve, the Flawless Spear.
The Flame Knight only had seven Knight Captains, and none of them were unknown. The man in front of him had the strength of the Law, and was on par with Veronica during the battle of the Loop of Trade Winds.
He was one of the seven strongest Knight Captains of the Flame King, and his Elemental Indestructible was a rare Elemental that didn't have an active effect. He was immune to 90% of damage.
There were also two great Knights beside him. They were the inheritors of the Dragon Knight Samuel and the Light Knight Roban, and their strength was also at the peak of the Elemental Enlightenment.
Obviously, the Knight present also realized that Brando was difficult to deal with. The Knight whose strength was lower than that of the Elemental Enlightenment went around him and faced The Shire and the Vampire twins.
At this moment, The Shire was facing an Earth Elemental and a Fantasy Elemental, and Mephistopheles and Andrique's opponents were three people led by the heir of the Steel Knight.
In the face of this scene, Brando knew that he had to end the battle quickly. Although the Flame Knight who came from other directions were temporarily blocked, they were not the Praetorian Guard, and should catch up soon.
He stretched out his left hand, and another sword appeared in his hand.
"Absolute Death!"
The Flame Knight screamed angrily, and then realized that their colleagues in the manor might have been killed. For a moment, they were angry and disdainful. They were disdainful that Brando dared to use this sword in front of them, but they knew the flaws of this sword very well.
Steve's heart was also full of anger. Pridian was a newcomer that he thought highly of. He raised the long-famous spear in his hand. In his heart, he had already sentenced Brando to death. Although Her Majesty the Queen wanted them to stay alive, that was to say, as long as they did not die.
At this moment, Brando did not care what his opponent thought. He took out Absolute Death not to anger the other party.
But to —
"Frost Soil!"
With his low roar, a glacier appeared out of thin air, and sharp icicles burst out in all directions, like an ice waterfall, instantly covering the space of nearly a kilometer.
The biting cold wind mixed with the power of the elements came, and even Steve did not dare to face it head-on. He and several Flame Knight immediately flew into the air, but there were still two people who were hit by the crisscrossing icicles and crashed into the forest with the rushing glacier. Wherever they passed, the trees withered and withered, the branches and leaves turned into white frost, and then broke in the middle.
Steve punched the icicles that stabbed towards him, turning them into dust. Then he finally saw Brando hiding between the crisscrossing icicles, and stabbed at him with his spear.
At the same time, several Flame Knights, including the two Great Knights, who had avoided the icicles attack, also attacked Brando at the same time.
But at that moment, Brando suddenly raised his head, and Steve saw a desperate fanaticism in his eyes. For some reason, at that moment, his heart was suddenly full of vigilance. This kind of vigilance was the same as the moment of life and death he experienced in the Holy War.
It was the fear of the signs of death.
He was very confident in his hunch, and suddenly the alarm bell in his heart rang. "Retreat, retreat quickly!" he shouted, but he could not stop the attack, and the Sin in his hand had already hit the opponent without hesitation.
Together with the four long swords.
The long spear stabbed at the opponent's body. Brando was only wearing a count's coat, and the coat was easily cut open, revealing a golden-gray breastplate underneath. The defensive power of the breastplate was beyond imagination, and the bright blade of the Sin could not do anything to it. A silver light bounced off the breastplate and finally pierced into Brando's shoulder blade.
But the spear did not penetrate the body as Steve imagined. The defensive power of the opponent's body was also terrifying. He felt as if he had hit a metal stone, and that feeling was exactly the same as when he fought with several of the top Templar Knights.
In fact, it was even better.
He looked back and his eyes almost popped out. The long swords of the other Flame Knights could not even get close to Brando's body. A layer of indistinct radiance blocked their blades, causing sparks to fly in all directions as if they had struck a wall of metal and stone when they were only a foot away.
Conflict Halo!
The faces of the several Knights were aghast. This guy was a Templar Knight!
However, the most troublesome ability of a Templar Knight was not their Conflict Halo, but their Crown of Thorns and Blood of the Sun.
The few Flame Knights almost immediately realized that they were in big trouble. At this moment, a white brilliance suddenly burst out from Brando's body. The brilliance was like the vines of a rose, and it bounced towards all the people who had attacked him.
Although Brando's defensive power resisted almost all the damage, the refraction of the Blood of the Sun was not calculated in this way. Even the attribute of the Gate of Law of the Lonia Gap had restored Steve's attack, which was reduced to Elemental Truth.
However, it was so unreasonable —
Several Flame Knights screamed. Only Steve was slightly better. The Indestructible Element minimized the damage he suffered. But the warning in his heart did not go away because it was Brando's turn to attack.
Brando extended the Halran Gaia to these people.
"Cold Wind —"
At that moment, time could be said to pass very slowly because it was almost static. For those who faced such a scene, it was like an eternity.
But it could also be said to be very fast because in the eyes of the onlookers, it was a breath's time. They saw a biting cold wind blow out from behind Brando.
What kind of wind was that? It was like a blade, plowing through everything in its path. Trees and rocks were all turned into ice crystals, and in the blink of an eye, they were shattered into pieces, flying all over the sky.
But this was only the beginning —
Then it grew so strong that it could not be described with words. It only made people think of the legendary 'Immortal' World Spiral on the mountain where the storm stopped.
That was the perfect storm that occupied the entire Wind Elemental Plane.
It was not wind, but a Sword of Divine Judgement. It hit the top of the mountain where the Frost Dew Manor was located. Everyone witnessed this unforgettable scene with their own eyes.
The entire mountain swelled up and then shattered with a bang. Rocks and trees flew into the air, and the mountain seemed to fall apart, turning into dust. The flow of earth and rocks poured down like a landslide.
Even after nearly half a minute, smaller stones and gravel rustled down from the air.
This was the power of a supreme realm.
Brando raised his head in shock.
In the darkness of the night, he saw that half of the Frost Dew Manor that was located halfway up the mountain had already completely disappeared. A terrifying hole had appeared in the background of the mountain. The layer of earth above it had long since vanished, revealing the pale and jagged luster of the rocks.
After the hole appeared, a full moon shone on the entire forest.
What was going on?
He remembered that he had activated Frenzy and used the full power of the Frost Soil Guard. Although the combination of Frost Soil and Cold Wind was powerful, it was not to this extent.
Seibers' full power attack was only this much.
"My Lord, are you alright?" Mephistopheles had just finished off an opponent and turned back to ask with concern in mid-air.
Brando shook his head. He felt that there were layers of illusions in front of him. He saw the reflection of the White Tower in the sky and the Spiral Peak. Hundreds of millions of Lines of Law converged into a silver-white plain, and the Seed of Light was born in the lake of the Abyss.
He saw the rebirth of the Elemental Border, the shallow sea was like a dream, the storm stopped, the mountain stood in the clouds, and under the dark stone pivot, the scorching river flowed.
These illusions were repeated over and over again, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart.
"I was born in the flames —"
At this moment, he actually felt that his Realm of Truth was faintly loosening, and the door that blocked his final path was opened at this moment.
He was not the only one who felt this. Everyone present felt the same shock.
Everyone turned around involuntarily. Steve also got up shakily from afar and looked at Brendel in disbelief. The power of a supreme realm was not enough to kill the commander of the Flaming Knights in one blow, not to mention that the other party had the Undying Elemental Power.
Of course, even so, he was seriously injured, and the Knight of the Flame Family who fought side by side with him had long been reduced to ashes.
The peak of the Law —
This young Count Tónigel was only in his early twenties this year.
It was hard not to think of another person who also reached the top of the White Tower at the age of twenty.
About one thousand and seventy years ago, he had a laurel crown called the Flame King.
But at this moment, Brando's mind was no longer on this.
Because he knew he was in trouble.
It was at this moment —
Five vast and unparalleled pressures fell from mid-air, and Brando immediately felt that he was locked in by several forces. His body felt heavy, as if he was shackled.
The Shire, Mephistopheles, and Andrique, who were fighting with the Knight of the Flame Family in mid-air, groaned and fell directly from the sky, landing heavily on the ground.
Brando looked up and saw that in the starry night sky, there seemed to be several bright constellations.
Those were the titles and titles that he was familiar with, or had heard of. Their names had shined in history for a time, and they were the peak of the power that the players once worshipped and yearned for.
That was the head of the Knight of the Flame Family, the Empire's Gate, Richard.
The strongest wizard of the Empire seventy years ago, the Lord of the Mirror Realm, the Lightless Return, Royer, and his lifelong rival, the wizard who was close to God, the Tower Defying Saipan.
There was also the strongest of the eleven Holy See besides Vara and Sidney, the Sword Bearer, Bradley.
Finally, there was Willek, one of the Empire's Twin Paragons sixty years ago, the Lion Sword Saint.
Five Supreme Realms.
Nearly half of the Empire's thirteen Supreme Realms were here.
The power in the sky was as deep as the abyss.

Also, there was a small problem with the Duke of Flower Leaf, my hand slipped. The Duke of Flower Leaf is Vahina's grandfather, and his eldest son is Vahina's father. I'm also drunk, I'll change it later.)
