Chapter 1257: Chapter 198: With the Strength of One, Defeat All of Terra!
Hundreds of blades flickered, seemingly alive as they aimed at the many origin points behind Ian, searching for the knight’s weaknesses, forcing him to turn around.
“Interesting, is this targeting The Unyielding Fortress?”
Spirit energy surged all around him, Ian detonated his outermost Origin Shield, temporarily repelling the incoming blades. He sensed that these small blades appeared harmless, but internally, they contained multiple curses and Origin toxins like ‘sealing’, ‘obstruction’, ‘pollution’, ‘erosion’, and ‘disturbance’. A mere scratch would require even The Unyielding Fortress’s self-purification ability half an hour to overcome.
Even though he was now the Pioneer of Iron, Ian didn’t want to be hit by the opponent. Yet, in that instant, Gaer had already launched himself backward, shooting a hundred meters away, as Anfa and ‘Ian’ also attacked together.
But none of it mattered anymore. A possibility spread in his mind, and Ian’s heart surged with a possibility… a possibility regarding who exactly participated in the assault on Hiliard and Inega II during the Dark Moon turmoil.
A possibility that filled him with absolute murderous intent!
Thus, the Black-Haired Knight stamped his left foot on the ground, and a massive wall of earth and stone rose, blocking all the Origin Blades — a second later, the wall exploded, and a powerful shockwave sent Golan, who had instantly moved beside him, flying.
At the same time, he swung his sword backhandedly, striking Anfa’s sword, and the terrifying force sent Anfa flying nearly a thousand meters away.
Then, the knight turned, thrusting his sword with lightning speed into the central focal point of ‘Ian’s’ raging sword force, shattering the entire sword energy wave. With a muffled grunt, ‘Ian’, who already had fractured hand bones, was forced to retreat, and the flesh on his entire sword-wielding right hand exploded under the immense force, leaving only shattered white bones.
But just then, a golden glimmer shot from afar, aiming directly at the knight’s forehead.
In the next instant, a blinding light burst forth as a golden beam pierced the atmosphere, cutting through the smoke, causing the Black-Haired Youth’s body to stagger slightly, his head tilting completely back, momentarily giving the illusion of his head being blown away.
Yet soon, the knight struck by Aina’s charged arrow slowly lifted his head, and on his forehead was a thumb-thick bloody hole reaching the skull, with scorched marks around the wound.
However, it could be seen that the knight’s skull exhibited a very peculiar sheen… it was the reflection of an anti-beam coating, or rather, the gleam of ‘Mirror Reflection Crystal’! This scene made Aina’s eyes widen, a chilling sensation creeping in: “Did he already know he would face us, Sunbird? His preparations are too thorough!”
“Such formidable power, if I hadn’t been prepared, I would have surely been injured.” He heard ‘Mahdi’ praise: “Seems I’ll have to deal with you first.”
The hole on the Black-Haired Knight’s forehead was rapidly regenerating, a layer of sturdier silver dragon scales emerged over the flesh and blood, then was covered by a layer of white skin.
Seeing this, Aina unhesitatingly shouted a warning: “His Dragon Scale Armor and Pure Rock Crystal Bone are fully developed, and his Eternal Physique is cultivated to the limit—don’t treat him as a human, see him as a humanoid earth-attribute True Dragon!”
And Ian had already launched a counterattack.
The knight held his sword with both hands, seemingly unhurriedly stepping forward, then his arms shook, disappearing from sight, along with the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword in his hands.
Yet, at the moment the knight’s arms and sword disappeared, a silver-white sword energy shockwave shot skyward like mist and light, supersonically slashing directly at Aina.
All this happened in an incredibly brief instant, less than a tenth of a second.
Aina, although seeing the sword light, found no way to evade. His spirit energy jewelry was already activated, forming a grid network before him, but he doubted its ability to withstand even a single strike from a typical Third Energy Level attack.
But in that instant, everything ceased to change.
The supersonic sword energy cloud was frozen mid-air, Aina was momentarily stunned, then immediately withdrew from its attack range, and glanced towards Elg and the Necrocaller on the other side.
Not far off, the two scholars, who likely knew each other before, found the right moment to intervene, and the shadow beneath the Necrocaller already spread to the Black-Haired Knight’s feet, while a formless shadow enveloped his emitted sword energy.
‘Shadow Marsh’, this oversized spirit energy, under the Necrocaller’s full exertion, could even cause effects akin to ‘time stop’.
But in the next moment, the Necrocaller’s expression changed suddenly, his face flushed, blood streaming from his seven orifices, and he roared: “No! What power is this? I can’t hold it—it’s just like an earthquake, I can’t sustain it!”
The unrestrainable sword energy broke through the skies, even causing ripples on the false ‘sky’ of the Subspace Labyrinth with its attack. On the other side, Elg, whose eyes glowed with a purple light, also showed a look of astonishment: “No, what level is this soul intensity? I can’t even read the outermost consciousness?”
“Mahdi is also a Spirit Energy User! Moreover, his spirit energy is extremely powerful, the Heart Light Body is also…”
