Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 95 The Knight of Light

In Hrag's eyes, Kalim was enveloped by a massive amount of light energy particles, and he was completely immersed in an ocean of light energy particles.

Kalim's injuries healed quickly, and the wounds soon closed up. Apart from some bloodstains remaining on the surface, he was completely healed.

Countless light-element energy particles were infused into Kalim's body, not only repairing his physical form but also continuously strengthening his physique.

Kalim slowly opened his eyes, feeling a warm sensation all over his body.

His consciousness had just awakened from endless darkness, and he was still somewhat dazed, unaware of what had happened.

He was enveloped by a massive amount of light-elemental energy particles, and his body, which had been floating in mid-air, began to slowly descend until it landed steadily on the ground.

Kalim sat up with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at his hands, where the puncture marks on his armor were still visible, and there was a hole in the armor where the wound on his chest had been.

He touched the wound; it had completely healed, leaving not a single scar.

"Wasn't I dead? Why is this happening...?" Kalim was completely bewildered.

His expression suddenly turned to one of astonishment, and he clenched his fist in surprise, exclaiming, "I've broken through to the Great Knight level?!"

"Deep Blue, analyze Kalim's physical data." Seeing that Kalim had actually come back from the dead, Herag became interested in his current strength.

"Kalim: Strength 5.1, Agility 4.2, Constitution 6.1, Spirit 2.7, contains unknown light-type energy within his body."

Herag was somewhat surprised to see this data; it was already stronger than that of an ordinary Great Knight, while Kalim had only just broken through.

The average Great Knight's rating is around 3 to 4, but Kalim's breakthrough rating directly reached the level of 5 or 6.

"It should be related to those light-type energy particles from earlier. His body contains light-type energy, which is different from magic and should belong to another power system."

Even Helag has to take Kalim seriously now.

Given Kalim's physical attributes and the power of light energy, it remains to be seen what kind of strength he will be able to unleash.

What bothered Hrag the most was why so many light-elemental energy particles were automatically helping Kalim.

"Handsome, strong, and stupid, he can not only be resurrected after death but also break through in strength. Could this guy be the protagonist?" Herag guessed.

He was seriously considering this possibility: if the world's will truly existed, this Kalim might very well be favored by it.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain why the light-elemental energy particles would automatically save Kalim. This suggests that even if Kalim isn't favored by the world's will, he must have some connection to the power of light.

"Commander Kalim, are you alright?" Kalim's members immediately ran over and surrounded him.

They were all fighting hard, and even though they knew that Kalim was seriously injured and lying on the ground, they couldn't spare the time to come and save him.

The strange phenomenon emanating from Kalim briefly halted the battle, allowing them to rush over and regroup.

Kalim laughed, "Not only am I alright, but I'm now a Grand Knight."

The other members of the adventurer group cheered with joy, knowing exactly what this meant.

Any adventurer group or adventurer party with a Grand Knight in command can instantly reach the top level in terms of strength rating.

After exchanging a few words with the group members, Kalim said, "Alright, let's talk about these things later. Right now, there are other issues to resolve."

He stepped out of the crowd and looked at Ives: "Ives, I never thought you would be so heartless as to want to kill everyone to silence them."

Kalim then glanced at the corpses scattered around him, his face filled with remorse: "It's my fault. I was too impulsive and didn't think things through, causing their deaths. Ivis, I won't kill you; after all, you're Duke Theodore's knight commander. I will personally escort you back and send you to the gallows!"

After he finished speaking, he pulled out the giant sword that was stuck in the ground.

Ivis laughed, "Send me to the gallows? You've only just been promoted to Grand Knight, while I've been a Grand Knight for many years. You're still too green."

Despite his words, he was well-prepared for battle, donning his helmet, drawing his longsword, and focusing intently on Kalim.

Kalim gripped the greatsword with both hands, his body radiating a white light, which also covered the greatsword itself.

"Knight of Light! How is this possible! You're not a member of the Church of Light either..." Ives exclaimed, his face filled with shock.

"Knight of Light?" This was the first time Herag had heard this term; he knew very little about it.

Ives's expression turned serious, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Kalim said in a deep voice, "So this is the power of the Knights of Light? Strange..."

He gripped the greatsword and charged toward Ives at lightning speed.

Ives moved quickly as well, rushing forward with his longsword in both hands.

Kalim's move is very simple; it's just a straightforward vertical slash.

This sword strike carried a dazzling white light. By this time, the white mist had dissipated, and the sun shone down, making Kalim's entire body sparkle.

The next second, a cold light flashed, and no one on the scene except Helag saw what happened.

The longsword in Ivis's hand had shattered into several pieces, and his right hand flew out, landing not far away.

"Ah!" Ives seemed to realize what was happening only after his arm flew off and landed on the ground, and then he cried out in pain.

Kalim then struck with his greatsword, crippling Ivis's left hand.

Ives' left hand was extremely twisted, and it looked like the bones were completely broken.

"I told you, I won't kill you. I will personally send you to the gallows to atone for the sins of these dead people!" Kalim planted his greatsword in the ground and said each word clearly.

Ives gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at Kalim with resentment, his eyes filled with venom.

The members of the caravan behind Kalim quickly surrounded him, obtained some chains from the caravan, and bound Ivis tightly, while also crippling his knees.

Ives still had the strength to resist, but he did nothing, because it would be pointless.

He obediently allowed these people to tie him up and lock him in an iron cage.

These iron cages are specially made and exceptionally sturdy. Sometimes caravans use them to imprison monsters, and it would be almost impossible for Ivis to escape from them in this state.

When Kalim took control of Ivis, Ivis's soldiers, seeing the situation was dire, all fled.

Judging from the direction they fled, they most likely won't go back to Stormwind; they'll probably become real bandits.

Kalim did not send anyone to hunt them down. There were still many soldiers, and the caravan was too busy with its own casualties to spare any resources for a pursuit.
