A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 895 A Meaningless Battle

"Speaking of which, it's fortunate that Misaki Shokuhou and Junko Hokkaido were also there..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu said sincerely.

Thanks to the two girls who were there, Xiaofei's life was saved!

It's somewhat pathetic, but in the eyes of everyone present—except for the knight commander who was kept in the dark—that enormous dragon was completely relegated to the background, and no one expected her to be a formidable opponent.

Ultimately, it's just a pet that's a bit bigger.

Having confirmed that Xiaofei had not been killed by the knight commander who was eager to slay the dragon, Tsuchimikado Motoharu finally breathed a sigh of relief—at least the worst-case scenario had been avoided.

However, when he saw Junko Hokaze confront the Knight Commander head-on, Motoharu Tsuchimikado was still quite surprised.

"Even Her Majesty's attendants shouldn't be underestimated!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu exclaimed, but quickly realized what was going on.

While Junko Hokaze is undoubtedly powerful, the key lies in the support of the Queen Bee.

Judging from the Knight Commander's occasional unusual reactions and actions, he was under hypnosis! This meant he was essentially fighting against both Misaki Shokuhou and Junko Hokaze single-handedly.

As we all know, Misaki Shokuhou with "Mental Mastery" is the least skilled in direct combat among all Level 5s; but from another perspective, she is the strongest support ability user. As long as she is paired with a sufficiently powerful attacker, she can achieve a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

The scene before us is proof of that.

“But that’s about it for now,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu suddenly said. “The Knights Commander will be realizing it soon.”

Or rather, he was losing patience.

The Knight Commander was, after all, a battle-hardened warrior. Even if his mind was clouded by superpowers, his fighting instincts could not be hidden.

His intuition and fighting instincts told him that if he continued to delay, his chances of winning would only decrease.

Since that's the case, the Knight Commander decided to end the game.

The next moment, he drew his weapon—the demonic sword "Frentine".

It was a knight's longsword with a blade three centimeters wide and eighty centimeters long, entirely silver-white. However, an unidentified blackish-red substance adhered to the beautiful blade, like some kind of special coating, making the blade uneven.

It was like some kind of living substance, wriggling and bubbling up countless bubbles...

"Junko-nee, be careful!" Misaki Shokuhou quickly warned upon seeing this, "Don't get touched by that sword!"

Junko Hokaze nodded solemnly—just by looking at the sword, she knew she absolutely did not want to be touched by that strange thing!

This was the first time since the start of the war that they had seen "magic" presented so vividly before their eyes—the Knight Commander had drawn the longsword from the shadow at his feet.

A knight wielding a weapon is a completely different concept from one who is unarmed.

As mentioned before, many of the knight's offensive spells can only be fully utilized when wielding a weapon.

The Knight Commander became serious.

Lin Wuming wheeled himself forward and intervened in the battle without hesitation.

— "Psychic Acceleration Cannon" Triple Firing!

The distance of less than two hundred meters was covered in an instant. Suddenly, the Knight Commander changed his target and swung his sword backward. With a "clang," the demonic sword "Frentine" seemed to have struck a beam of light. The blade was bounced back by the powerful recoil, and part of the red and black substance covering its surface was also bounced off.

Then came the second and third "shells".

The Knight Commander moved with lightning speed, shifting slightly, and used the hilt and guard of his sword to deflect the two "psychic acceleration cannons" one after the other.

Seeing Lin Wuming intervene and take over, Misaki Shokuhou and Junko Hokaze tacitly retreated and deactivated their superpowers.

Xiao Fei then took a big step forward, spread its wings, and roared triumphantly.

It was as if she were the one who had just fought against the Knight Commander.

However, at this moment, the Knight Commander could no longer care about her; his attention was completely drawn to Lin Wuming on the other side.

Both are Level 5, but Lin Wuming is undoubtedly more famous in the world of magic; moreover, due to his personal involvement in many magic-related events, he has verifiable achievements, and there are even rumors that he has mastered the knowledge of the "Book of Law"...

In the eyes of those on the magical side, besides the ruler Aleister Crowley, the only other powerful figure they could think of in Academy City was Lin Wuming.

Immediately afterwards, the Knights Commander noticed Tsuchimikado Motoharu behind Lin Wuming: "So that's how it is. Is this your trump card?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you've misunderstood!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu stepped forward, shouting back, "If I wanted to ask Lin Wuming for help, why would I have run all the way here... If anyone's to blame, it's you. Who told you to attack someone important to Lin Wuming?"

Lin Wuming glanced back, but did not deny what he said.

Twelve small steel balls hovered and circled around Lin Wuming, ready to be fired as deadly projectiles at any moment.

Having just personally experienced the power of the "Psychic Acceleration Cannon," the Knight Commander showed no intention of underestimating those small steel balls.

He carefully assumed his stance, clearly regarding the boy in the wheelchair opposite him as an opponent he had to deal with seriously and with all his might.

“This…” Tsuchimikado Motoharu sighed and reluctantly stepped forward, “Actually, there’s no need for the two of you to fight, is there?”

Thinking about it carefully, there was no conflict between Lin Wuming and the Knight Commander—it was Kanzaki Kaori who had defeated the Knight before.

The British Puritans and Academy City are allies, and Lin Wuming is even a "friend" who has cooperated with the Church of Necessary Evil on several occasions.

Even though the relationship between the Knights and the Puritans was somewhat delicate, it was ultimately their internal conflict. When dealing with external matters, they would certainly prioritize the interests of Britain.

Neither Lin Wuming nor the Knight Commander had any reason to start a war.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu also knew that they now had a common enemy—the counterattack of the Roman Catholic Church.

In an effort to save face, the Roman Catholic Church will most likely deploy a "saint"-level expert, or even the legendary "secret organization."

Therefore, Tsuchimikado Motoharu had no choice but to step forward, because ultimately, this accident was caused by him, and if he didn't do something to salvage the situation...

—Neither Chairman Aleister nor Archbishop Laura will forgive me, will they? That's the downside of being a multi-faceted spy—you have too many superiors to be responsible for, and you can't afford to offend any of them!

“Tsuchimikado,” the Knight Commander looked at him with a hostile expression, “I’m giving you one last chance.”
