It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Just as Wind Rider Knorrs was suppressing his fear and preparing to step forward, a hand blocked his way.

Rielco, the fourth seat of the Divine Punishment, the Knight of the Steel Sword, with a knight's sword at his waist, stepped out and said in a calm voice as he walked: "Although the Pope will not blame me for the death of trash like you, if two of you die, people will think that I, Rielco, am not good at leading the team."

"..." Normally, faced with such humiliation, even if the other party was stronger than him, the Wind Rider Knorrs would definitely refute it angrily. But at this moment, while he remained silent, a sense of relief rose deep in his heart.

Not having to face such a monster, a little humiliation isn't unbearable...

Roy's gaze met that of Rielko, one of the Four Seats of Divine Punishment and the Knight of the Iron Sword.

The knight, sword in hand, slowly stepped forward and coldly said, "The difference between the limit of legend and the peak of legend is like heaven and earth. Are you ready to face my wrath?"

A gentle spring breeze swept across the barren, gravelly land.

A tender sprout emerges from one of the few remaining intact patches of ground, demonstrating the tenacity and perseverance of life in nature.

above the earth.

Among the four seats of divine punishment, the Sword Knight Rielco and Roy, who wore a gray spiral mask, were separated by a distance of over a hundred meters. However, this distance was gradually shrinking as Rielco took each step.

Roy's gaze was cold and sharp, like the water of an ice lake in early spring, reflecting the approaching knight.

At this moment, the blood essence from the Mountain-Shaking Knight Bradley within his heart was transforming into a continuous stream of "nutrients," nourishing his physique and causing his physique, which had just reached Legendary Three Star, to rise again at an alarming rate.

The only effect of [Heart of Leviathan] is to plunder all the life force and soul power of enemies defeated and convert them into Blood Essence that can enhance one's physical strength.

The simple and crude talent ability is far less comprehensive and diverse than that of [Infinite Desire God].

But sometimes, the simpler something is, the purer it is.

Roy didn't understand the specific working principle of the Blood Soul Essence, but he could sense that this enhancement was comprehensive, without any blind spots, without side effects, and with an extremely solid foundation.

In less than ten seconds, Roy completely digested the blood essence from the Mountain-Shaking Knight Bradley, and his physique also surged from Legendary Three-Star to the peak of Legendary Three-Star in this extremely short time, just a hair's breadth away from stepping into the peak of Legendary.

The reason why Roy hastily absorbed the Blood Soul Essence during the battle was that, after the battle just now, Roy discovered that, without using his trump cards, his combat power was at most slightly better than that of a peak Legendary. Under such circumstances, when facing a veteran peak Legendary, the outcome would be evenly matched. Even if he used all his talents and methods, it would be difficult for him to be a match for a Legendary at the limit.

Having experienced the power of the domain's characteristics, Roy was very clear about the chasm between the legendary limit and the legendary peak.

Domain characteristics, in essence, are the rudiments of incomplete rules. The legendary limit knight who controls the power of domain characteristics has fundamentally widened the gap with the legendary peak. Compared to the legendary peak, the legendary peak is like a three-year-old human cub, while the legendary limit knight is like a world fighting champion!

Admittedly, Roy also has four trump cards: "Star Power," "Rage," "Destruction," and "Satan's Redemption."

However, he felt that this alone was still insufficient to bridge the enormous gap between the pinnacle of legend and the limit of legend.

After all, apart from "Satan's Redemption," the other trump cards are all closely related to his own basic qualities. With the same proportional increase, the stronger the foundation, the greater the increase.

Therefore, if Roy wants to continue fighting, his only option is to fight to sustain his fighting.

Roy's gaze swept over Knors, the fifth seat of Divine Punishment and the Wind-Tearing Knight, and a glint of fire flashed in his eyes. Then, he fixed his gaze on Rielko, the fourth seat of Divine Punishment and the Steel Sword Knight, who was gradually approaching.

As the two sides drew closer, the environment here underwent subtle and indescribable changes without anyone noticing.

This feeling was so familiar; it was the special change that occurred when the Border Duke used his domain properties during Roy's guidance battle with the Border Duke in the past.

The domain of the legendary knight is the radiation of the soul fire. It is extremely intense for living beings, but its effect on non-living beings and the environment is not very significant.

However, with the emergence of domain characteristics, this situation will undergo a dramatic change.

The existence of domain characteristics has caused the domain to begin to transform from "virtual" to "semi-real." To completely transform it into "real," one needs to master the incomplete rules and advance to demigod status.

Even though it is only a "semi-real" realm, it can already begin to influence the power of the world environment.

The ultimate strength of a legend lies not in itself, but in its ability to initially and slightly mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

Human power is far too insignificant compared to the power of heaven and earth.

This is the fundamental reason why the ultimate legend can crush the peak legend.

Trying to use human power to resist the forces of nature, even if it is only a tiny fraction of them, is as difficult as an insurmountable chasm.

……

On the surface of the Starfire Blade, the remaining blood evaporated into wisps of rising blood mist under the scorching of the crimson flames, appearing bewitching and magnificent.

Roy let out a soft breath, his eyes burning with the fierce flames of battle.

He lifted his foot and took his first step.

At the same time, his body and his aura underwent extremely drastic changes.

"Star Power State" and "Rage State" are activated simultaneously!

The moment his foot touched the ground, Roy's body vanished.

A figure, seemingly shrouded in crimson gold and shimmering silver, flashed by in the air.

Steel Sword Knight Rielko's expression was indifferent.

Even though the nameless, eerie knight before him displayed an extremely special secret technique, raising his aura fluctuations to a level infinitely close to the legendary limit, it could not move him in the slightest.

Because no matter how close you get, if you don't reach it, you are still a weak infant.

Although Rielko narrowly lost by "one move" in the battle between the capital and the border duke a few days ago, it gave him a deeper understanding of the power of heaven and earth and new ideas on how to improve the characteristics of his domain.

Unfortunately, having just recovered from his serious injuries, he had to go out on a mission and had no time to perfect the domain's characteristics.

He could not refuse the Pope's order.

The more he understood the power of heaven and earth, the more he could feel the "great power" of the demigods.

That was once the authority of the gods, but because of the world's imperfections, it could not be transformed into a complete form.

Even the ultimate power of a legendary being is far too weak in the face of a demigod.

The knight's longsword at his waist was drawn slowly but swiftly, then slashed backward, rising just before the blade struck, and bracing itself against his back.

"Ding--"

Invisible ripples spread outwards from the point of weapon clash, and the concentrated attack made it difficult for the surrounding space to remain stable, resulting in disturbing ripple phenomena.

Roy, wielding his longsword, was struck as if by a heavy blow. At the moment of impact, a force like a tsunami surged through his weapon and into his body, sending him flying backward.

Even though he was extremely close to the legendary limit, there was still a gap between him and the legendary limit. In a head-on confrontation, Roy was at a disadvantage in an instant.

After defeating Roy with a single sword strike, Rielco showed no joy whatsoever; instead, his expression suddenly changed.

Roy flew backward, his battle aura and domain power surging and empowering him, allowing him to move at an even faster speed, his target being the Divine Punishment Fifth Seat, Wind-Tearing Knight, Knorrs, behind him.

From the very beginning, Roy's goal was very clear: to first eliminate the weaker Divine Punishment Sixth and Fifth Seats, and then use the Blood Soul Essence condensed from two legendary peak knights to help his physique climb to the legendary peak level. Only in this way could he have the ability to fight against the legendary limit.

However, the "stepping forward" of Rielko, one of the Four Divine Punishments, disrupted Roy's plans, preventing him from defeating them in order.

Since that's the case, Roy simply made a feint, first attacking Rielco to lower his and Knorrs' guard, and then using the momentum from the collision to speed towards Knorrs, the fifth seat of the Divine Punishment.

Rielco's face was grim as he chased after Roy, but due to the impact of the previous collision, he was slower than Roy and could not intercept him before Roy reached Knorrs.

He had tried to influence Roy with his domain power, which possessed domain characteristics, but the guy used some strange secret technique that rendered his domain power ineffective and even seemed to be devoured.

Right now, all we can do is hope that Knorrs isn't such a useless guy and can hold out until he arrives.

According to Rielko's thinking, although this strange guy with the gray spiral mask has greatly increased his strength after using the secret technique, it is not something that he can do in a few moves to defeat or even kill Knorrs, a veteran at the peak of the legend.

If Knorrs could hold out for even 0.5 seconds, it would be enough for him to arrive and kill the strange creature on the spot.

Overall, it is still within a controllable range.

Rilke thought so, and Knorrs on the other side had a similar idea.

After the initial panic, he calmed down and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

They're treating him like an easy target.

Are you so confident that you can defeat or even kill me in a second?

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

He sneered inwardly, but out of Roy's previous fear of Bradley's "crushing bones and sending them flying" move, Knorrs still chose to unleash his full power, even burning his soul power to bring his strength to near the legendary limit in a short period of time, which is the level of strength Roy is now displaying.

Although doing so would result in him being in a weakened state for a long time afterward, and the intensity of his soul fire would also decrease to some extent, it didn't matter.

As long as I can survive, as long as I can kill this eerie gray-screwed masked knight, it will all be worth it!

In this situation, let alone a short time, even if the opponent had dozens or hundreds of moves, Knorr was confident that the opponent would never be able to defeat him, let alone kill him!

The distance was closing rapidly; two hundred meters was a distance that a legendary, peak-level knight could cross in less than 0.5 seconds.

Its superior dynamic capture and perception capabilities enable legendary peak knights to make precise observations and react quickly while moving at supersonic speeds.

Therefore, Knorrs could clearly see the gray-veiled masked knight, surrounded by crimson gold and shimmering silver, slowly drawing his long sword from his waist.

With each inch the blade leaves its sheath, that section of the blade turns a dazzling silver, while irregular black patterns spread across the surrounding air. When the longsword is fully drawn, the blade, which should be entirely silver, appears to become a pitch-black blade against the backdrop of the spreading black patterns—an extreme sharpness that devours light and even forces space to retreat before it.

Knorrs' pupils contracted sharply as an intense sense of life-or-death crisis welled up within him.

Can't stop!

Such brilliance, I cannot withstand it!

Spurred by the threat of death, Knorrs's soul fire, which had been burning slowly, suddenly surged and began to burn wildly in a reckless manner, increasing his strength by a small margin and bringing him halfway to the limit of legend.

This method of burning one's soul comes at an extremely high price. After this, with his soul fire dimmed, he will likely fall several minor realms. It is unknown how long it will take for him to recover, or even whether he can recover at all. These are all big questions.

But for Knorrs now, none of that matters anymore.

At this moment, he had only one belief: to survive! To hold on until Rielko's reinforcements arrived!

Under the intense burning of the soul fire, Knorrs felt that his understanding of the realm had reached an unprecedented level, and the flowing particles in the heavens and earth were so vivid.

Given some time—ten seconds, no, three seconds—he was confident he could fully comprehend this power and the existence of the domain's characteristics. In that case, not only would the gray-screwed masked knight's attacks be no longer a threat, but the consequences of his subsequent drop in realm would also be acceptable, and he could even recover quickly.

pity……

What he lacks most right now is time.

Feeling the extremely dark blade closing in on him, Knorr, whose skin was tingling with goosebumps, had no time to process it. In his haste, he could only draw the short blade at his waist to parry—his main weapon was a longbow, but he also carried a short blade for close combat.

Although he couldn't draw upon the power of heaven and earth, the fighting spirit and domain power carried in Knorrs's attack still exceeded the realm of the legendary peak.

One second, no, just half a second, and I'll survive!
