I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

The Knight Armor provides a significant boost to the Starpulse Generation. Wearing this armor, Claudia is confident she can challenge those three monsters who seem to be from another dimension.

However, compared to the power of the contracted beast, this physical enhancement seems insignificant.

The contracted beast possesses overwhelming power.

That's a monster that even if a conglomerate mobilizes its army, it will be utterly crushed.

Contract cards allow users to freely use the power of their contracted beasts.

Although they require a card to operate, they are still quite terrifying.

As a member of the Star Pulse Generation, known for their combat prowess, Claudia believed that battles between knights should involve the contracted beasts restraining each other, with the outcome determined by other means.

"This person is indeed an ordinary person, and one who is not good at fighting at that."

"He is not a martial artist."

"He's not a soldier."

"He's just an ordinary student, and he hasn't had the card box for very long."

"That seems a bit like bullying."

"But... what can we do? The only way to get rid of that child is to keep fighting, even if it means taking someone else's life."

Claudia's eyes hardened.

"Weapons Descend"

With the use of the card, Claudia summoned a pair of twin swords.

The two swords were stuck in the ground on the left and right.

She held a pair of oddly shaped actuators in her hands, about the size of her palm, with the gem in the center resembling a monster's pupil rather than an eyeball.

That was a pure Starfire-style weapon.

The Huang-style weapon is a universal element transformation energy weapon that uses universal minerals as its core.

By allowing the Universal Ore to remember the elemental mode, the material can be materialized from the initiator. By condensing the surrounding Universal Elements, beam-like blades or bullets can be generated.

Pure Star Blazing Armaments refer to Blazing Armaments crafted using a special All-Purpose Ore (All-Purpose Essence Crystal) as their core. They not only possess energy levels that ordinary Blazing Armaments cannot match, but also have been found to have special abilities similar to those of witches and magicians.

Click! Click!

The pure Starry Sky-style weapon "Pandora" was fitted with twin winged swords.

At the edges of the two weapons, blades of different colors suddenly emerged, as dazzling as rainbows, or like a harbinger of the eve of a storm.

The air seemed to freeze the moment the two swords overlapped and locked onto the taut string.

Claudia's figure approached silently, like a ghost.

Clang!

He raised his sword to parry, his movements steady and powerful, as unshakeable as a mountain.

The broadsword blocked both blades at the same time, and the sound of metal colliding was crisp and loud, as awe-inspiring as a war drum.

"Om-!"

The dark-winged bat in the sky emitted a sonic wave at Mingxian, which struck the armor on his back like a heavy hammer.

boom!

As the sound waves fell, the ground beneath Mingxian suddenly caved in.

Claudia unleashed a flurry of twin sword strikes, but they grazed the armor of the jingling bowstring and missed.

Using the sonic attack, Mingxian lowered his body and his broadsword swept out like autumn leaves in the wind, forming a round moon blade light!

Clang!

The broadsword struck the armor, producing a metallic clang.

A crack appeared in her chest armor. Claudia stomped her right foot and shot forward, her twin swords tracing a perfect arc in the air as she thrust towards Mingxian, who had lowered his body.

But the string is faster!

As he lowered his body, he fell to the ground with a thud, his heavy armor hitting the earth with a dull thud.

Then, he rolled away to avoid it.

Bah! Bah!

The two swords pierced the earth.

Mingxian lay beside the twin swords, completely unharmed.

Boom!

His right leg suddenly rose and slammed directly into Claudia's helmet.

The impact was so great that Claudia felt dizzy and disoriented, seeing stars before her eyes, as if the whole world was spinning.

The Darkwing Bat's body swept through the air, casting a dark shadow as it passed over the String.

Click!

The mechanical body of the Darkwing Bat merged with the armor on Claudia's back, seemingly giving Claudia a pair of jet-black wings, which carried her into the sky.

Floating in mid-air, Claudia finally regained her senses.

At this point, she no longer dared to underestimate Mingxian.

He is not from the Star Pulse Generation, nor a martial artist, nor a soldier.

However, the opponent is a veteran of countless battles!

That's how Claudia felt.

"He didn't summon his contracted beast, is that so? Such skillful movements and perfect control over the armor, this man must have fought against the Twisted many times."

The Otherworld contains many distortions.

Knights can form a contract with Twisted Beasts and gain their power.

The distortion sometimes invades the real world, wreaking havoc on the hexagram, but only for a short time before returning to the underworld.

Knights will not fight these twisted beings.

because……

It's very difficult to win.

They are all mythical beasts, but the knight's mythical beast is controlled and is no stronger than the other mythical beasts.

There's no benefit in winning.

Everyone participates in the Knights War to fulfill their wishes.

They fought for "selfish desires".

There is no reason to fight against other twisted forces.

"This person has likely fought the Twisted One many times, but why?"

Claudia was a little confused, but only for a moment. The next moment, she put her doubts aside and used the power of "Pandora" without hesitation.

The future came to mind.

This is Pandora's ability—future vision.

It can see future movements within an uncertain timeframe, and can anticipate any offensive attack the opponent may launch. Its "prediction capacity" is limited to 300 seconds, and it only recovers one second every three days.

Mingxian's next offensive move has been anticipated.

Claudia had already prepared her defenses.

However, Mingxian simply raised her head, and the red lenses behind her mask lit up, like two crimson flames.

Gene lock level three, open!

Sensing being spied on, Mingxian immediately activated the third stage of the gene lock, and the external view reflected the direction of the movement of matter, revealing countless lines of fate.

At the same time, he also learned about the future that Claudia had seen.

"..."

Claudia's eyes widened in disbelief.

Why didn't he launch the attack based on his vision of the future?

Mingxian pushed off the ground with his left foot, leaped up, and stomped hard, creating a ripple in the air. He then raised his Dragon Fang Saber and slashed at Claudia!

No, that's not right...

This kind of attack shouldn't be happening.

He should have suddenly become enraged for some reason, using "Assault Descent" to summon Dragon Claws and launch a cannon attack on himself in the sky. Why then did he jump up and stab himself?

The sound of clashing weapons rang out, and Claudia was sent flying, leaving a dark trail in the air. She flew for three hundred meters before spreading her dark bat wings and stabilizing herself.

[Romantic Target: Claudia Enfield, progress 30%]

Mingxian: "?"

what happened?

How did the progress of the strategy suddenly jump from 1% to 30%?

Claudia, clad in armor, floated in mid-air, her twin blades tucked into her waistband, and drew a card, placing it into her slender sword.

As the cards are read.

Divine power flowed within the armor.

A page of the celestial book, imbued with divine wisdom—a spell that humans could never master in a lifetime—was forcibly activated in an instant.

"Trick Vent!"

The black knight instantly split into eight, and eight separate entities appeared in the sky.

Behind them were jet-black wings.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, ultrasonic waves rang out, surging towards the zither at the top of the teaching building.
