Chapter 508: Chapter 481: Breaking the Formation
Garrett and the others led the Noble Alliance Army as they charged through the gates of Mist City, where a brutal battle erupted on the wide city streets.
What had seemed like a highly favorable situation changed the very moment Ronin and Carlos were trapped.
Among Mist City’s Knight Order, the flare-like seals on the foreheads of thirty Knights began to flicker. Instantly, dense red patterns appeared all over their bodies, like lava flowing through countless ravines.
With the activation of the seals, the power of these thirty men surged. The Silver Knights became comparable to Gold Knights, and the Gold Knights became comparable to Meteor Knights...
This was the Flame Divine Envoy’s team of Flame Seal Knights.
The moment the seals were activated, the battlefield had effectively gained one Proud Sun Knight, three Silver Moon Knights, eight Meteor Knights, and eighteen Gold Knights.
This didn’t even include Count Ural and the three Silver Moon and several Meteor Knights under his command.
In addition, there were twenty-four members of the Celestial God Race, all at least Silver Level, in the air, as well as a squad of more than twenty Dragon Eagle Knights from Mist City.
The Noble Alliance Army, which had been charging forward with overwhelming momentum, was stunned by this sudden development, and a large number of them were cut down in an instant.
"Everyone, kill them!"
"Anyone who survives this battle will be made an Honorary Knight!"
Count Ural roared. Whether or not he would honor such a promise, the words alone were enough to stir excitement.
Ridder had already noticed that Ronin was trapped in the sky. He shot into the air, wanting to help Ronin and Carlos break free from the outside.
But before he could get far, a tall man bathed in fiery light blocked his path.
"Your opponent is me."
Similar to Catherine, the man before Ridder was named Vina. He was the leader of this group of Flame Seal Knights and served under Lord Flame Wings, the founder of the Holy Storm Organization.
Although his power was only at the late-stage Silver Moon, after activating the Flame Seal, his Power, speed, and Fighting Qi were not inferior to that of an ordinary Proud Sun Knight.
Ridder’s expression was grim, but inwardly he was anxious, wondering if Ronin could escape the danger.
But with a powerful enemy blocking his way, he could only prioritize dealing with the situation at hand.
"Kill!"
He channeled the Heaven-Burning Secret Scripture, purifying his Flame Fighting Qi. Every attack, every Combat Skill, was far more powerful than usual.
Facing Vina, who had enhanced his strength through heretical means, Ridder held an almost crushing advantage.
However, his opponent didn’t seem to want to compete with Ridder, but was focused on stalling for time.
So even though Vina’s injuries were gradually worsening, by persistently avoiding direct confrontation and only harassing him, he could still hold on for some time.
Meanwhile, in the battle overhead, brilliant light once again gathered in Aluba’s palm. This time, the Energy fluctuation was even more violent, as if the very air around it was being distorted by the force.
Ronin’s heart tightened. He could feel the destructive power in this attack far surpassed the last. ’It looks like they’ve given up on capturing me alive and plan to kill me right here.’
"Carlos, brace for the coming impact storm."
Ronin warned the Giant Dragon via Soul Transmission. At the same time, he mobilized all the Fighting Qi in his body, channeling it into the Flowing Flame Sword to meet this head-on clash.
"Die!"
The brilliant light in Aluba’s hand shot out like an enraged dragon emerging from the sea, rushing toward Ronin with world-destroying momentum.
"Celestial Fire Scorched Earth!"
Ronin used this move again, colliding head-on with the brilliant light. The two forces intertwined and exploded in mid-air, kicking up a terrifying storm of Energy.
Caught in the storm, Ronin didn’t pause. He instantly cast the Wall of Sighs several times to defend himself against the impact.
As for Carlos, it used its Ice Power to encase its entire draconic body in a block of ice. This was the Frost Power it had gained after advancing to an Eighth-level Magical Beast.
’Is he dead?’
Aluba and the others maintained the Trapping and Killing Array, their eyes fixed on the soaring flames and Energy storm within the light barrier, unable to see what was happening inside.
’I can’t believe Ronin is this strong.’
Catherine looked worriedly at the dozen or so Gold Knights around them. Although they were still maintaining the array, their pale faces showed that the previous impacts had taken a considerable toll on their bodies.
After all, while their light barrier could reflect and refract energy beams, it couldn’t repel shockwaves or the physical attacks from Ronin and Carlos.
"Aluba, if he attacks like that two more times, our array will break!" Catherine reminded him in a low voice.
Aluba watched the gradually dissipating Energy storm and said in a low voice, "That should be enough, right? Without Ronin, dealing with this Dragon should just be a matter of time."
Catherine nodded slightly.
Legendary Giant Dragons like Carlos often possessed special abilities, but those abilities generally only manifested after they reached the Legendary Level.
From the looks of it, this Giant Dragon’s power was only at the Eighth-level, not even Ninth Level. Although it was troublesome, it wasn’t impossible to deal with.
Just as the two were whispering, Carlos’s massive body suddenly lunged forward. Its giant claws, Tearing through the air with vicious power, swiped toward the area where the Gold Knights were positioned.
Simultaneously, Ronin instantly cast a series of offensive Magic spells, all of them blasting the same area Carlos was attacking.
Instantly, the Trapping and Killing Array’s light barrier rippled violently.
Although it still held without collapsing, the Knight outside coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Immediately after, blood began to seep from his every pore, and the wings on his back started to weaken.
Within one or two breaths, the brilliant light in the man’s hands dissipated, and his entire body plummeted straight down from the sky.
’Success!’
Ronin was overjoyed. He quickly activated his Wind Shadow Skill and slipped directly through the crack that had appeared.
The moment he got out, the crack sealed itself again, trapping Carlos inside the array.
ROAR!
Seeing that its master had escaped while it was still trapped, Carlos grew anxious. It condensed a massive Ice Arrow and fired it at a second Gold Knight.
Although it was missing an anchor point, the array didn’t collapse, its power still enough to withstand the attack.
But Aluba, Catherine, and the others looked horrified.
"Damn it!"
Ronin was out.
"Die!"
Ronin’s figure was like a flash of light, appearing directly in front of a Knight. Before the man could react, Ronin’s sword sliced through his neck.
The spraying blood announced that the battle had entered its second phase.
"Next!"
He no longer bothered with Aluba and Catherine, instead pouncing on those who looked weaker.
Faced with the power of a peak Proud Sun, this group of Gold and Meteor Level Knights couldn’t even put up a shred of resistance. In the blink of an eye, Ronin had cut down seven or eight of them.
The Trapping and Killing Array became fragile and collapsed completely under one of Carlos’s swipes.
AWOOOO!
Carlos let out an excited roar, engulfing the targeted Knight in a mouthful of scorching flame and melting him to nothing.
The expressions on Aluba’s and Catherine’s faces changed drastically. He hadn’t expected Ronin to find and attack the array’s weak point in such a short time.
But there was no time for him to think. He had to go all out to stop Ronin’s next move.
"The rest of you, fall back and form the array again!" Catherine shrieked.
The air trembled violently, but Ronin had already appeared before her.
"Did you think your speed could compare to mine?"
The Flowing Flame Sword slashed down. A longsword appeared in her hand as she tried to block, but if even Aluba was no match for Ronin, how could she, a mere Silver Moon Level, possibly withstand his attack?
The immense force sent Catherine’s longsword flying. The Flowing Flame Sword continued its descent, severing her arm and sending her plummeting downward from the impact.
Ronin controlled the severed limb, brought it before him, and took the Space Ring from its finger.
Then he shot straight down, continuing his pursuit to kill her.
"Daniel, you and the others stay here and deal with the Giant Dragon! I’m going to help Catherine!"
Aluba anxiously chased after Ronin, trying to engage him, but Ronin completely ignored him.
After dealing with that troublesome array, Ronin had decided to clear out the weaker enemies first before facing Aluba.
The scales of victory had already tipped completely in his favor.
