Demon Jiao Devitt, notorious for his ferocity, had just effortlessly slain a Peak Knight.
Everyone had speculated about his power, which was now confirmed.
This formidable pirate leader was indeed a Great Knight.
It was somewhat surprising, yet quite normal, since only a Great Knight could effortlessly kill a Peak Knight.
But then there was Carl! A mere Pharmacist.
For over a year, he had been so low-key that many did not know he practiced breath control techniques, yet he had turned out to be a Great Knight.
Are Great Knights so worthless now?
The clash rang out like the resounding strike of a giant bell.
The fierce Battle Aura tore the ground apart, rushing outwards from the two combatants at its center in all directions.
The buildings on either side of the street shook. Some onlookers were lifted off the ground, screaming as they were thrown through the air.
Within dozens of meters, a Gale roared and dust rose, obscuring vision almost completely.
"Such incredible strength!"
Demon Jiao Devitt's face turned pale, a wary look in his eyes, as his strange curved blade swung countless afterimages in an instant.
Battle Skill—Water Wave!
"Carl the Pharmacist is a Great Knight?"
"Uncle has become a Great Knight?"
Susan, Ayala, and others were likewise shocked, especially Susan, who appeared utterly incredulous.
Ayala, however, was less surprised. She had long guessed Carl was a Peak Knight, just not that he had already broken through to become a Great Knight.
Battle Skill—Gale Slash!
Carl held a broad sword in each hand, swinging them so that they seemed to create a curtain of blades falling forward.
The terrifying power and howling Battle Aura shattered any obstacle instantly, and deep gullies formed on the ground in front of him. Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴovelfire.net
Demon Jiao Devitt retreated explosively, shouting angrily,
"Who knew the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce had a master like you?"
He stomped fiercely on the ground. The earth exploded beneath his foot, and Demon Jiao Devitt used the recoil to charge forward like a flash of lightning.
With a slight swing of his long sword, a white line suddenly appeared in the air, aiming straight for Carl.
With utmost speed, the condensed Battle Aura turned the air in front of the long sword into an unstoppable blade.
Battle Skill—Wind Trace!
In an instant, countless Wind Traces appeared out of thin air, intersecting in the sky, enveloping Carl.
Demon Jiao Devitt's figure flashed rapidly, leaving multiple afterimages, his movements too fast for even Knight-level eyes to track.
Fast! Extremely fast!
Carl let out a low grunt, crossed his swords in front of him, and slightly crouched, half-kneeling on the ground.
Battle Skill—Guardian!
His expression was grave and solemn.
The Battle Aura appeared like a layer of white halo emerging from his body, solidifying into a figure slightly larger than he was.
The rapid collision sounds were incessant. Blades and Wind Traces fell around his body, yet they could not harm his true form at all.
Such defensive power...
Demon Jiao Devitt roared furiously towards the sky. The hooked sword in his hand flickered with a strange light, and its speed increased once again.
And it surged drastically!
The Gale howled, dust swirling around.
The ground within a radius of more than ten meters silently cracked open. Bricks and boards detached from buildings. Many nearby onlookers hardly had time to scream before the sword winds tore them into shreds of flesh.
The surrounding onlookers desperately fled, wishing they had an extra pair of legs.
A duel between Great Knights—even just the aftermath—was not something ordinary people could withstand.
The clashing sounds erupted once more.
Carl leapt up, his twin broad swords flashing with a chilly, fierce light. Then, his whole body plummeted, and he swung the swords in another spin. The broad swords rotated rapidly around him, eventually forming a circle of bright sword shadows, the blades unseen.
The Battle Aura inside him exploded at the same time, bursting instantly into two crossing beams of light, like a cross descending from the sky.
The sword intent was fierce, domineering, sacred, and majestic.
Just like Acting as God's Executioner!
Battle Skill—Divine Judgement!
The sound of ribs breaking echoed. Demon Jiao Devitt staggered backward, a ferocious cross-shaped wound suddenly visible on his chest.
The wound had no blood. The skin around it was already petrified.
Carl's broad sword, a Demonized Item, not only could change size but was also imbued with Petrification Magic.
The petrification spread from the wound across Demon Jiao Devitt's entire body, his face filled with terror.
As his chest completely petrified, his voice abruptly stiffened, and then his body uncontrollably fell to the ground.
Demon Jiao Devitt's muscular body shattered instantly into countless pieces of stone, only his terrified head remaining intact.
Carl bent down and picked up the head.
Demon Jiao Devitt wasn't weak, but I am stronger. My Constitution is nearing 4 points, I possess the legendary Battle Skill, Guardian Ring, and both broad swords are Demonized Items. Without using the Giantification Secret Skill, I can crush a regular Great Knight.
But just in case, during the combat, Carl had still used a lesser Mage force field, which allowed him to easily finish off the opponent.
Otherwise, considering Demon Jiao Devitt's high speed, it would have taken me more effort to succeed.
"Demon Jiao Devitt is dead!"
Only when the strong wind had dissipated did Susan cautiously step forward, her face filled with shock as she looked at the shattered stone on the ground.
Just moments ago, he had single-handedly overwhelmed everyone to the point of breathlessness. Now, he was unexpectedly killed by Carl.
His entire body was fragmented, only the head intact.
"It seems the Chamber has encountered some problems,"
Carl lifted Demon Jiao Devitt's head and turned to Susan.
"I need to see Miss Lula."
Susan came to her senses, nodding hurriedly,
"I believe Miss Lula will also be very pleased to see you, Carl the Pharmacist—no... it should be Carl the Great Knight!"
