His heartbeat sounded like a beating war drum.
A tenacious and indomitable aura filled Kieran's chest.
The warm current that flowed out from his heart instantly turned into a torrent that overflowed the sky, gushing into Kieran's limbs and bones with the momentum of toppling the mountains and overturning the seas.
His aching right leg and his slashed waist returned to normal within a breath's time.
Not even a scratch was left on his body.
Not only that, the bigger changes were just starting.
Spots of white light shone from under Kieran's skin.
They connected into one.
Then …
They gathered on top of Kieran's hands!
As if he was enlightened, Kieran thought of Guntherson's Dawn.
The Dawn that transformed into a shockwave!
Almost instinctively, Kieran looked at Mayer, put his palms together and pushed forward.
"Dawn!"
A loud shout sounded.
KABOOM!
A dazzling light pillar was fired out like a sharp sword.
The sword could pierce through the despair of the darkness.
The sword could split open the dark sky.
Of course, it could also grant Kieran the victory that belonged to him.
When Mayer sensed the changes in Kieran's aura, his face turned heavy.
When the light belonging to Dawn Force shone, Mayer's face changed drastically, a sense of disbelief appeared in his heavy expression.
The moment the sword named Dawn Force was thrusted out, Mayer's entire body became hesitant.
Retreat!
I can't take it head on!
Such a thought popped up in his heart instantly.
His steel-like willpower started to waver in front of the sword.
Clenching his teeth and straightening his neck, Mayer didn't allow himself to step back.
The strongest fighter in Edland City brandished out his hand blade.
Chang!
The narrow long blade that looked like it materialized had water ripples branded along the edge of the blade, it was like the waves in the sea, fiercely pushing forward.
But …
In the face of the Sword of Dawn that pierced through the dark sky, the waves were too powerless.
Shattered!
Utterly defeated!
The moment the blade touched the blade, it shattered into pieces.
It turned into a mirage again and vanished into thin air.
Mayer, on the other hand, looked like he was struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered to the side.
Dawn's sword almost grazed past Mayer who had fallen to the ground, cutting a huge ravine into the entire Augen Manor.
It was as smooth as a knife cutting through tofu.
The people who had rushed over because of the strange noise were dumbfounded.
And at the source of the ravine —
Huff, huff.
Heavy breathing came from Kieran's chest.
Kieran felt exhausted like never before, he couldn't even stand straight anymore, so he sat down on the ground.
The stars in front of his eyes told Kieran that he needed to rest.
However, his eyes could not help but stare at the system notification that appeared on his retina.
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art, Special Activation …]
[Special Activation unable to break the limit, -1 skill status maintained …]
…
"Special activation?"
"Unable to break through the limit?"
The sudden notification made Kieran squinted his eyes, many guesses popped up in his mind.
However, before Kieran could think in detail, a stinging pain came from his mind.
Kieran knew his energy didn't allow him to continue thinking.
He started to adjust his breathing with [Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art]'s method.
More than 10 seconds later, the pain slightly subsided. Kieran opened his eyes again and saw Mayer who was struggling to climb up.
Mayer's body was filled with small wounds and there was a big blood stain on his chest.
Although the Dawn Sword did not really stab his opponent, when it brushed past him, it still left a scratch on his opponent.
Kieran knew if the man wasn't a fighter who trained his body to the extreme, he wouldn't have been able to survive even if the Dawn Ray brushed past him.
However, Mayer's recovery speed obviously surprised Kieran.
"Some kind of secret technique?"
Kieran wondered when he saw the small wounds on Mayer's body swiftly closing up and stopping the bleeding.
Kieran also recalled how Mayer staggered when he dodged the Dawn Force.
It might seem like Mayer was injured and exhausted but in fact, there was something profound about it.
Obviously, it was also some kind of secret technique.
"You are the Knight of the Holy Relic Society?"
After trying his best to steady himself, Mayer looked at Kieran, his face that was filled with small wounds had an anxious and doubtful look.
For a fighter like Mayer, the mystical realm that was isolated from common people wasn't unknown anymore.
However, that was also the reason why Mayer was so surprised.
Based on what he knew, there was absolutely no Kieran among the current Knight of the Holy Relic Society, even though Kieran's presence was filled with hope.
"I …"
"You know, I have amnesia. Other than my name, I don't know anything else and even the name 2567 was told to me by someone else!"
Kieran wanted to deny it out of instinct.
But when the words reached his mouth, he changed his words.
He didn't mean to lie.
It was just that Kieran chose the way that benefited him the most.
The Knight of the Holy Relic Society. The title seemed to be quite valuable.
Whether it was the title itself or the sub-mission that might appear after the title.
Similar to the sub-mission that Kieran received from Mayer, [Sparring].
[Sub-Mission: Sparring (Completed)]
[Extra time acquired: 3 days!]
…
The extra time granted made Kieran in a good mood.
Especially when he discovered some clues from the system prompt, his good mood became even more joyous.
"Is that so?"
Mayer didn't doubt Kieran's words.
Because Kieran's amnesia was proven before.
The doctor.
The fake Gannett.
Everything could be verified.
Especially the latter, the way he lied to Mayer like he was toying with him, any normal person wouldn't fall for it.
As for the disguise?
Mayer thought of Kieran's last strike that was filled with hope.
He shook his head out of instinct.
He didn't believe a person like Mayer would disguise himself.
A person's expression and looks could all be disguised.
But when a person was forced into a desperate situation, the aura of vowing to fight to the death could never be faked.
Mayer spoke again when the thought came into his mind.
"Thank you for the battle with me!
It has benefited me a lot! "
Mayer tried his best to straighten his body and thanked Mayer in a meticulous manner.
That's right, he thanked Mayer.
Mayer's face was filled with sincerity.
"Me too!"
Kieran also thanked Mayer.
It wasn't a polite gesture.
If it wasn't for Mayer, Kieran wouldn't have discovered the possibility of breaking through the -1 limit in the dungeon world.
Although it would be hard to truly break through the -1 limit, at least from Kieran's point of view, it was better than knowing nothing.
At least he had a direction now.
It made Kieran have a better impression of Mayer.
Mayer's sharpness and straightforwardness allowed Mayer to notice Kieran's kindness.
Mayer's stiff face softened again.
Both of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Since when did you two get so close?
Is it because you two teamed up to tear down Augen Manor? "
A suppressed roar of anger rang out.
Unknowingly, the crowd that gathered around them opened up a gap. Anne Aldrich Augen who had changed into a knight outfit stood there with a frosty face and was glaring at the two of them angrily.
In the man's hand was a folder.
