Knights: The journey of support starting with Faiz

"Do you think you can do whatever you want by using such despicable means?"

Sumida's face was covered in blood, and the madness in his eyes was gradually replaced by fear.

He struggled to say something, but only spat out a mouthful of bloody foam mixed with broken teeth.

"Admit your fault."

Jinghe commanded, his voice leaving no room for argument.

The entire factory was eerily quiet; even the demons temporarily ceased their attacks, as if intimidated by the sheer force of the attack.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Sumida finally broke down, his turbid tears mixed with blood flowing down his face.

"I was wrong..."

Jinghe stared at him for three seconds, and only after confirming that his repentance was genuine did she let go of his hand.

Sumida collapsed to the ground like a limp rag, completely unconscious.

"call..."

Jinghe let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed slightly.

He turned to the other contestants, his eyes now calm.

"I'm sorry to have shown this to everyone."

My wife, the Daoist priest, unconsciously swallowed.

He took a serious look at this seemingly ordinary young man for the first time, and alarm bells went off in his mind.

This guy named Jinghe is far more dangerous than he appears.

Hidetoshi Ukiyo stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"It seems we all misjudged them."

Chapter 273: Awakening

Miyin hesitated, then silently tightened her grip on the knife.

She suddenly realized that in this cruel game, the most terrifying thing might not be the ferocious monsters, but the true faces hidden beneath ordinary appearances.

In the distance, a new wave of howls from the demonic followers was approaching.

In the dim light, everyone's expression was inscrutable.

The twisting groans of metal echoed from deep within the factory, as if this massive steel tomb was awakening.

"The game has only just begun."

My wife, the Taoist priest, murmured to herself and quietly retreated into the shadows.

When Jinghe's brutal beating of Motian ended, the battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and the lingering echoes of a boxing match, when suddenly the ground began to shake violently.

"What happened?"

Miyin staggered for a moment, then quickly regained her balance and looked around.

The War Rabbit's lenses reflected an abnormal data stream.

Something's wrong; this vibration isn't a natural phenomenon!

The remaining demon followers suddenly knelt down, emitting low sobs, as if mourning their fallen comrades.

The sound was creepy.

"Attention all players."

Tsumuri's voice came from the sky.

"Due to the large number of strong contestants in this competition, the program team has temporarily added a special segment - The Zombie King and the Demon's Disciple are about to make their appearance."

"What a joke!"

Hidetoshi Ukiyo frowned.

"Releasing a regional boss-level monster at this stage?"

Before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless twisted vines grew wildly from the ground.

The vines were covered with sharp thorns and had an eerie purplish-black sheen. In the blink of an eye, they spread and covered the entire battlefield, intertwining to form a huge plant monster.

With a deafening roar, a gigantic figure as tall as a ten-story building burst forth from the ground—the Zombie King, the Demon Disciple!

Its body is made up of countless wriggling vines, with thick vines twisting on its surface like tentacles, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"This is...this is way too outrageous!"

Miyin took a few steps back, her face pale.

To everyone's surprise, the Zombie King's demonic followers did not launch an indiscriminate attack.

Its head, made of decaying plants, slowly turned and finally locked onto Jiang Ye, who was standing at the edge of the battlefield.

"It's targeting Jiang Ye?"

"War Rabbit exclaimed in surprise."

Ukiyo Hidetoshi narrowed his eyes.

“Interesting... It can sense the level of danger among the people present.”

The Zombie King Demon Disciple let out a deafening roar, and his massive body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless sharp vines that swept towards Jiang Ye!

"careful!"

Miyin shouted instinctively.

However, Jiang Ye simply turned to the side, and the vines, strong enough to pierce through steel, grazed his clothes and pierced the ground.

The second and third waves of attacks followed one after another, but Jiang Ye only moved his body slightly, making all the attacks miss with minimal movement.

"This...how is this possible?"

Tsumuri's voice was filled with disbelief.

Kiroly stared intently at the screen in the monitoring room.

His dodging movements were precise to the millimeter level, as if he could predict the trajectory of the attack...

The Zombie King's demonic followers roared in anger when they realized that brute force could not reach their prey.

What's chilling is that its enormous body began to shrink rapidly, shrinking to only three meters tall in the blink of an eye.

However, as its size decreased, the dark energy surrounding it became more solidified, emitting a chilling fluctuation.

"Oh no!"

Ukiyo Hidetoshi's expression changed drastically.

"It's compressing energy!"

The next second, countless dark black light bullets shot out from the body of the Zombie King's demonic disciple and blasted towards Jiang Ye!

Each light projectile contains highly corrosive dark energy, eroding and distorting even the air in its path.

At the critical moment, Jiang Ye remained calm and took two buckles from his waist with his right hand—the Earth Upgrade Buckle and the Thruster Buckle.

"Double Buckle, Set!"

(The one who obtained the king)

He installed both straps on the Wish Driver at the same time, and the driver burst out with a dazzling golden light the moment they were fastened.

"EarthRise! BoosterCharge!"

Earthy yellow energy covered Jiang Ye's upper body, condensing into a thick rock-metal armor.

Ancient hexagonal dragon totems appeared on the shoulder armor, and the chest armor, as if forged from the earth, exuded a calm and heavy aura.

At the same time, the energy from the thruster straps flowed through the lower body, the lower leg armor rapidly took shape, the legs were wrapped in the propulsion device, and blazing flames could be faintly seen at the nozzles of the combat boots.

Chapter 274 Core

"That's... using double buckles simultaneously?"

Kiroli stood up.

"The system actually allows this kind of operation?!"

In the center of the battlefield, a giant sword, entirely golden in color and with a blade covered in rock-like patterns, descended from the sky and slammed heavily into the ground.

Ancient energy veins flowed along the blade, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Jiang Ye reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, easily pulling it out.

The heavy sword seemed weightless in his hands.

"The Sword in the Stone..."

"Tsuri murmured."

"The legendary sword of kings..."

The Zombie King's demonic followers seemed to sense the threat as well, letting out a piercing shriek, and the density of the dark light bullets increased once again!

Jiang Ye simply waved the sword in the stone, and the golden sword energy spread out, instantly purifying and dissipating all the Dark 160 light bullets that came into contact with it.

"Thrusters, activate."

As Jiang Ye whispered, his leg propulsion devices spewed out scorching flames, propelling his body toward the enemy at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!

The golden greatsword drew a perfect arc in the air, cleaving towards the core of the zombie king's demonic followers!

"Roar--!"

The zombie king's demonic followers hastily conjured dozens of layers of vine shields, but they were easily severed by the sword in the stone.

The sword's momentum remained undiminished, leaving a deep wound on its chest, from which purplish-black fluid gushed out.

"So strong..."

Miyin stared in disbelief.

"Is this Jiang Ye's true strength?"

Zhan Tu quickly analyzed the data.

"No, according to the energy readings, he is currently exerting less than half of his peak strength (AHCD). But his combat experience and skills have made up for the lack of power."

The zombie king, enraged, brandished his vine tentacles, spraying highly toxic spores from his wounds.

The spores swelled rapidly in the air, forming a deadly purple haze.

Jiang Ye remained calm, and the hexagonal dragon totem on his earth armor suddenly lit up, forming an earth-yellow energy barrier around him.

The poisonous fog was neutralized by the power of the earth the moment it touched the barrier.

"BoosterDash!"

The thrusters roared to life again, and Jiang Ye instantly appeared behind the Zombie King's demonic followers, the Stone Sword slashing down with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks!

"Crack!"

A thick vine arm snapped off and crashed heavily to the ground.

The Zombie King's demonic followers writhed in agony as new tentacles grew wildly from the severed wound, but the regeneration rate had clearly slowed down.

"It is weakening!"

Hidetoshi Ukiyo keenly noticed this.

"Jiang Ye's attack contained a kind of energy that suppressed regeneration."

In the center of the battlefield, the confrontation between Jiang Ye and the Zombie King's demonic followers reached a fever pitch.

Each collision between the blade and the vines unleashed a deafening roar, and shockwaves continuously tore apart the already ravaged battlefield.

"Earth Finish!"
