It felt so good to be close to the witch!

As the smoke cleared, the figure that had appeared in the center of the explosion was completely unharmed.

The figure was sheltered within a bright yellow halo, remaining undisturbed by the surrounding noise.

"Satan's Redemption," which struggles against the power of the gods, remains incredibly resilient before the power of a seasoned demigod.

Roy looked at the Five Thunder Aura behind the Speaker of the Round Table, a wry smile playing on his lips beneath his gray spiral mask.

The effect of this thing is almost exactly the same as the magnetic field thrust that guarded Tonière back in the Mechanical Holy City, and under the control of the Chairman of the Round Table, its power is even greater.

With this thing around, even if he has "Satan's Redemption," it will be difficult for him to get close—after all, the Speaker of the Round Table is not a fixed target; he can move at supersonic speeds.

After their initial exchange, Roy already had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

With his current strength, even someone as powerful as the Speaker of the Round Table would be helpless against him during his full-power burst. In fact, if the Speaker of the Round Table did not enter the "Five Thunder State," he would also be at risk of being seriously injured or even killed by his attacks.

However, once he enters the "Five Thunders State," it becomes very difficult for him to harm the Speaker of the Round Table.

And so, an eerie silence fell over the battlefield.

The Speaker of the Round Table did not launch another attack, and Roy remained suspended in mid-air.

About ten seconds later, the Speaker of the Round Table spoke first: "You should understand that I have not yet used my full strength."

"I did not use the forbidden weapon."

"Admittedly, the forbidden weapon has a very wide range of effects. At close range, even if it kills you, our soldiers will also suffer heavy casualties."

"Leave now, and I can pretend you were never here; otherwise..."

The roundtable speaker has backed down.

Now that the battle has progressed this far, even though he is unwilling, he knows that he simply cannot kill the figure with the gray spiral mask.

Even one or two forbidden weapons, "Starfall," are not guaranteed to kill the opponent.

After all, there is a precedent of this person surviving and escaping from the "scorching sun"!

Faced with the Round Table Speaker's concession, Roy remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled: "You think I came here just to fight you?"

Upon hearing this, the Speaker of the Round Table's expression changed, as if he had sensed something.

However, it was too late.

Looking down from a thousand meters above, one can clearly see that at this moment, a third of the buildings in the vast Clay Empire military camp suddenly collapsed, as if a huge monster on the ground was swallowing it whole.

A slender figure flew out from the collapsed hole. It was Toni, who had infiltrated the military camp while Roy was fighting with the Chairman of the Round Table, secretly seized control of a large number of military buildings, and then devoured a large amount of rare metals with a spell.

The girl was floating in mid-air. Her originally jet-black hair had turned bright silver due to absorbing too much rare metal.

The speaker of the round table turned cold.

He did not turn back, nor did he say anything more. Through his mind, the next moment, the tallest building in the military camp—the Starfall Launch Tower—lit up with blinding light.

Two "little suns" rose up, one of which shot precisely towards Tonnie, while the other flew towards himself, the very spot where he was fighting Roy.

Roy could sense the ever-expanding threat emanating from the launched "starfall," but he showed no sign of panic.

Now that he has achieved his goal, it is time to retreat.

In the air above the military camp, countless mechanical knights also saw the rising "starfall" and fled in terror, but Toni did not.

She looked up and her gaze fell on the "starfall" that was about to explode. A colossal humanoid machine, nearly a thousand meters tall, quickly assembled and grabbed the "starfall" flying towards her in its hand.

"boom!"

Endless light and heat erupted instantly, shattering the robot's hand. A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, causing numerous military camp buildings to collapse. Many knights who couldn't escape in time were melted into the most basic particles.

Meanwhile, Roy looked at the "starfall" heading towards him and said softly, "Your Grace, thank you for your trouble."

A burly figure stepped out from beside Roy. He paused, turned his waist, and threw a punch, shattering the "Starfall" in mid-air ahead of time.

The light and heat engulfed Roy and the Border Duke, and also affected the Chairman of the Round Table.

When the Chairman of the Round Table regained his sight, Roy, the Border Duke, and Tonnie in the military camp had all vanished from the battlefield, leaving only a devastated landscape.

The Speaker of the Round Table trembled violently with unprecedented rage. A few seconds later, he roared deafeningly, "Damn Radiant Heretics!"

Daily book recommendation: "I'll Die If I Don't Try to Save My Love"

Recommendation:

He loaded a rescue game, initially only wanting to survive, but unexpectedly ended up throwing himself into their hellish battlefield.

Chapter 229 It's a bit bigger, isn't it?

Inside the Duke's mansion, against a wall of solid stone.

Roy and the border duke sat facing each other, while the butler respectfully bowed his head and reported: "My lord, according to the intelligence gathered by the scout knights, the Kolei Empire began a full-scale retreat at noon today. As of now, there is no one left in the original Kolei camp."

"He does know when to advance and retreat." The border duke smiled, waved for the steward to leave, and the steward bowed and departed.

"Why doesn't Your Grace take this opportunity to crush them in one fell swoop?"

Roy said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the border duke shook his head: "The current situation is already a very good result."

"Don't be fooled by the large area of ​​the Kolei military camp that we've destroyed. Its true core, the place where forbidden weapons are stored and deployed, remains heavily guarded."

"If the Speaker of the Round Table is pushed to the limit and he detonates all the forbidden weapons, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Especially since we don't know how many forbidden weapons he has."

Roy nodded; he understood this point all too well.

The forbidden weapon, Starfall, is like a Damocles' sword hovering overhead; before it falls, it possesses immense power of intimidation.

Even the border duke, who had the strength to defeat the chairman of the round table, was unwilling to take the risk, after all, he only had one life.

Few people are willing to do something that would harm the enemy by a thousand while also harming themselves by eight hundred, especially at this critical time when the temple could cause trouble at any moment.

"Has Miss Tonine successfully constructed the mechanical god's body?"

The border duke asked curiously.

“It’s not that simple.” Roy shook his head: “According to Toni, a complete mechanical god needs a divine body and a divine heart. Only when the two are combined can it be a true mechanical god.”

"Leaving aside the Heart of God for now, as for the Divine Body, even after absorbing so many rare metals, it can only barely construct a simplified version. There is still a long way to go."

"However, even though it is just a simplified version of the mechanical god's body, under Toni's control, it should not be a problem to exert demigod combat power."

"In that case, the trip was not in vain," the border duke said with satisfaction.

All things considered, our side already has a considerable number of demigods.

Border Duke, Nature Witch Finegi, Roy, the Shadow Witch Lilia's contracted partner, the Azure Horned Moon Wolf King, and Toni, who controls the body of a mechanical god.

Of the five demigods, the Border Duke and the Great Witch of Nature, Finage, are senior demigods; Roy's strength is between that of a demigod and a senior demigod; while the Azure Horned Moon Wolf King and Toni are ordinary demigods.

This lineup is terrifying enough.

Even when facing the Pope of the Temple, who is considered the strongest demigod in history, he is not afraid at all.

The current problem is that the Pope of the Temple is nowhere to be found.

"Speaking of which, how is Princess Fuma's progress?" Roy inquired.

On the surface, the Kolei Empire has suffered a crushing defeat and has had to withdraw from the battle. As for the Radiant Empire, with the second prince succeeding to the throne as Gustav VII, the undercurrents in the capital city of Saint Fuye have gradually subsided. If it weren't for the Pope of the Temple who stole the fragmented heart of the God of Thunderstrike, lurking in the shadows, it would truly be a "good situation".

Roy had a bad feeling, and that feeling grew stronger over time.

He knew that at his level, such a "premonition" wouldn't arise out of nowhere.

It may be a spiritual omen, or it may be an instinctive warning.

Foolishly waiting for the incident to escalate and erupt will only lead to it being too late.

The key to breaking this deadlock lies with Fuma.

If she were to receive new prophetic revelations after breaking through to the Grand rank, the current hazy and chaotic situation would be rewritten in an instant.

"Little Fuma is currently in seclusion." The border duke's eyes showed some heartache.

Although he didn't say it outright, he knew very well that the current situation was putting Fuma under immense pressure and causing her to feel guilty, which was why she was practicing day and night.

However, compared to her talent in knighthood, Fuma's talent in magic is only average. Even with her hard work, she may only reach the first stage of basic meditation in the near future.

"..." Roy was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "It's really not right to put pressure on her."

"Everything is settled now, so I'll head back first." Roy stood up.

"Yes." The border duke nodded. "I will inform you immediately if there is any news."

Roy waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and headed out of the Duke's mansion.

……

Not long after leaving the Duke's mansion, Roy returned to Blackrock Territory.

Looking at the houses, frozen and radiant in the sunlight, he stroked his chin: "They still look quite beautiful, but it's a pity they're too cold."

"Tonnie, the task of repairing the house is now in your hands."

“I understand, Lord Roy,” Tonnie said softly, following silently behind Roy.

Now, her hair has turned completely silver-white, making her look exceptionally striking.

Roy's return did not cause much of a stir.

After all, his round trip only took about half a day, not even a full day.

Shanica, still worried, checked him, Tonnie, and Cecil's bodies again, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no problems.

Thanks to Tonigne's talent, a house that was exactly the same as the previous lord's mansion, but made entirely of metal, gradually took shape.

Under Red's command, the artisans of Blackrock Territory then refurbished the metal mansion, adding various decorations. By nightfall, it was almost indistinguishable from the original lord's residence.

Sitting in the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar courtyard, Roy let out a long sigh.

No matter what, it's still most comfortable to stay in my own little corner.

In the corner of the courtyard, a three-meter-tall green tree was bathed in moonlight; it was a plant that Shanika had nurtured.

Looking up at the crimson moon hanging silently in the high sky, Roy said, "Ceshill, do you think the moonlight is any different from what it was like back then?"

“It’s bigger and brighter, isn’t it?” Sesil, perched on Roy’s shoulders, swung her little feet contentedly. “It feels like it’s getting closer and closer to our world.”
