Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Kant looked at the G.o.d of War, Edmund, he was shocked. At this moment, the G.o.d of War, Edmund’s aura was constantly rising, rising.
It rose to an unbelievable level. At this moment, the G.o.d of War, Edmund, had a terrifying aura that was comparable to the aura of all of Kant’s troops. This also meant that the attack that Edmund was about to launch would be extremely terrifying.
According to the G.o.d of War, Edmund’s attack was aimed at Kant.
The G.o.d of War, Edmund, wanted to kill him, Kant.
The twenty-meter-long lance that was emitting a blood-red divine light and burning with blood-red flames. It was basically a blood-red sun, extremely dazzling. Any attack that aimed at the lance, be it arrows or spells, were destroyed and disappeared.
.
The twenty-meter-long lance was shot out by Edmund. It spun violently and turned into a blood-red light. In an instant, it pa.s.sed through the distance of almost a hundred meters between Edmund and Kant.
This was the spear shot out by Edmund from above. Its speed was extremely fast. Kant’s troops could not defend him at all. Kant could only rely on himself.
“Can I block such a terrifying attack?”
Kant’s amber eyes contracted violently.
Golden and pure white light twined around Kant’s body. This was Kant’s extraordinary power — King’s Power and Divine Power erupted at the same time.
At this moment, Kant was very powerful. With two kinds of extraordinary powers, Kant far surpa.s.sed ordinary peak grand knights. However, compared to extraordinary knights, there was a huge gap.
Furthermore, this move of Edmund had gathered almost all of his power. Compared to the power of the 20-meter-long lance, the gap between Kant’s power and the power of the lance was extremely huge.
It was impossible to block it! Kant could clearly make such a decision.
Boom!
The 20-meter-long lance fiercely struck Kant’s body.
At this moment, an emerald-green barrier suddenly rose from Kant’s body. This emerald-green barrier looked very thin, compared to the brilliant blood-red divine light on the 20-meter-long lance and the blazing blood-red divine fire, there was an extremely strong contrast.
At this moment, all of Kant’s subordinates were looking at Kant. Their eyes were filled with despair. They had even stopped attacking the G.o.d of War, Edmund. If anything happened to Kant, what was the point of defeating the G.o.d of War, Edmund?
Their existence depended on their Lord Kant.
And the G.o.d of War had returned to his normal human form. His eyes were filled with eagerness as he looked at the 20-meter-long lance that he had placed high hopes on. When he saw that there was only a thin layer of emerald-green barrier on Kant’s body, he instantly felt extremely happy.
He would definitely be able to break the prophecy and his tragic fate!
The eyes of the G.o.d of War shone. He wanted to personally witness this moment and witness the death of Baron Kant.
However, what Edmund saw made him extremely incredulous.
“This is impossible!”
Edmund roared angrily and unwillingly. Even though his body had returned to the size of an ordinary person, he was still a true G.o.d. His strength was still equivalent to that of an extraordinary knight. He activated the roar of the G.o.d of War’s power. It was almost the same as when he was ten meters tall.
This roar directly shook the palace in the War Temple, causing it to tremble slightly. The voice even flowed out from the open door of the palace, allowing the entire Lionheart City to hear it.
In Lionheart City, other than the people from other countries, almost everyone believed in the G.o.d of War, Edmund heard it. When they heard the roar of the G.o.d of War, their expressions changed. This was because when this voice entered their ears, they immediately knew, the voice came from the G.o.d of War, Edmund.
The voice that spread throughout Lionheart City was like a miracle.
But everyone could hear the anger and unwillingness in the voice of the G.o.d of War, Edmund.
Why did the G.o.d they believed in Roar so angrily? The believers of the G.o.d of War in Lionheart City were terrified. They started to pray, hoping that the G.o.d they believed in could calm down their anger.
However, the G.o.d of War, could not calm his anger.
Even though he was a G.o.d, he still could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes.
The 20-meter-long knight lance was extremely terrifying. It had a diameter of almost one meter. It exploded with bright divine light and blazing divine fire. It hit Kant’s body. Strictly speaking, it hit the thin layer of emerald-green barrier in front of Kant.
Edmund thought that Baron Kant, with his weak strength, would immediately be blasted into pieces by this attack. At the same time, his body and soul would be ignited by the divine fire on his lance, Kant would be burnt into nothing.
However, the actual situation was that his 20-meter-long lance crashed into the emerald-green barrier on Kant’s body. Kant was not shaken at all.
The emerald-green barrier instantly erupted with an extremely resplendent green light, completely enveloping the entire 20-meter-long lance. Within this green light, the blood-red dazzling divine light on his lance of knights and the blazing divine fire began to dim.
And that green light, as if it had received a great tonic, became even purer.
In the end, the dazzling divine light and blazing divine fire on the 20-meter-long knight lance were completely extinguished. The lance returned to its original appearance. It looked like an ordinary blood-red lance that had been magnified many times.
“Ah…”
At this moment, the holy spirits of the G.o.d of War, Edmund, emerged from the lance. They soaked themselves in the green light and let out miserable howls of pain, as if they were suffering from an extremely terrifying punishment.
After a moment, the 100 holy spirits of the G.o.d of War disappeared just like the divine light and divine fire on the 20-meter-long lance.
At this moment, the 20-meter-long lance began to shrink.
This lance was formed by the G.o.d of War with his Divine Power of War. At this moment, it was also mercilessly devoured by the green light.
The speed of the devouring was extremely fast. In just a moment, the 20-meter-long lance had disappeared.
At this moment, the green light had completely retracted back into the green barrier that covered Kant’s body. The green barrier instantly retracted back into the emerald necklace that Kant wore around his neck.
Only a small part of the necklace was exposed around Kant’s neck. The rest was covered by Kant’s clothes and armor.
Not only was Edmund in disbelief at this scene, but many of Kant’s soldiers were also extremely excited. Even Kant himself was very surprised.
“This ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’s necklace is really too powerful. It can even withstand such a terrifying attack from the G.o.d of War Edmund!”
Kant understood that the emerald-green barrier just now originated from the second special effect of ‘Glory. Protection of Serenity’, ‘Serenity’s Protection’.
Serenity’s Protection: When the wearer suffers a fatal attack, this special effect will automatically activate and block a fatal attack for the wearer. Cooldown time: one week.
At this moment, the special effect of Serenity’s Protection had already been used. Kant didn’t know if the G.o.d of War, Edmund, would do the same thing again. It was too dangerous.
When he saw that his soldiers had actually stopped attacking the G.o.d of War, Edmund, he immediately gave the order to attack again.
As Kant gave the order, arrows and countless spells rained down on the G.o.d of War, Edmund.
At this moment, the G.o.d of War, Edmund, was about the same size as an ordinary person. The G.o.d of War, Edmund, had a red-light flash in his hands and under his body. A lance and a warhorse appeared once again, but at this moment, the G.o.d of War was completely restricted by the 2000 plus golems. If he wanted to move, he had to first destroy the golems that were blocking his way.
However, Edmund, did not have the time to bother with these golems at this moment because he needed to deal with the dense rain of arrows and spells. Moreover, due to his shrinking size, only a dozen or so golems around him were able to attack him. He used his power to condense a thick armor on himself and the warhorse. Just like that, he was able to withstand the attacks of the golems.
The knight lance seemed to come alive in his hands. It was so tightly packed that he was able to block most of the arrows.
However, he was helpless against the spells of the mages. All the spells landed on the G.o.d of War, Edmund.
What shocked Kant and his soldiers was that the G.o.d of War, Edmund, who had withstood so many terrifying spell attacks, was not killed. Instead, he was still waving the knight lance in his hand to block the arrows behind the crossbow.
However, his speed became much slower.
At the same time, his aura also became much weaker.
It seemed that the G.o.d of War, Edmund, was not completely unharmed after withstanding the spells of the mages.
“Continue to attack!”
As long as the attack was effective! Although the G.o.d of War, Edmund, was powerful, there was still a time when he would be defeated or even killed.
The attack lasted for more than ten minutes.
The G.o.d of War’s body was already riddled with wounds. The heavy armor on him and his warhorse was already full of cracks, and his body was filled with arrows. He gave off an extremely tragic aura.
At this moment, the G.o.d of War no longer waved the lance in his hand. Instead, he let the lance fall to the ground.
His powerful aura also quieted down.
“Lord, it seems that the G.o.d of War has fallen!” Baheshtur said to Kant.
At this moment, Kant felt the system’s strong desire to devour the G.o.d of War.
“Mages, control the golems and make way! Let me and the knights pa.s.s!”
Kant felt the system’s agitation. At this moment, he confirmed that the G.o.d of War had really fallen silent. There was no power to resist, and it was not an act. As for whether he had fallen, Kant was not sure.
After all, the G.o.d of War, Edmund, was a true G.o.d. It was very difficult for him to completely fall.
Kant led dozens of Swadian Royal Knights to the G.o.d of War, but the G.o.d of War remained motionless.
[ Host, will the system be allowed to devour the G.o.d of War? ]
The system’s dialog box appeared on Kant’s retina. After Kant knew that the system had devoured the G.o.d of War, he should have completed the system’s side quest. Thus, he agreed to the system’s request without hesitation.
With Kant’s agreement, a large number of pitch-black data chain wrapped around the G.o.d of War, Edmund.
The G.o.d of War, Edmund, began to become transparent in the dense pitch-black data chain. Only then did Kant realize that although the G.o.d of War, Edmund, still looked like an ordinary person, he was completely different on the inside.
His body looked exactly like an ordinary person, but the tissues, organs, and blood were all condensed from dense Divine Power of War. With the entanglement of the system’s data chain, the body of the G.o.d of War once again turned into a ma.s.s of majestic, bright red Divine Power of War. In the center of this ma.s.s of Divine Power of War, there was a bright red prism-shaped crystal. A large number of pitch-black data chain wrapped around this bright red prism-shaped crystal.
“Could it be that this is the G.o.d of War’s divinity?”
At this moment, the ma.s.s of divine power that originally formed the G.o.d of War’s body suddenly changed violently.
“I’m not willing… I’m not willing…”
That ma.s.s of divine power turned into a large mouth. Edmund’s voice came out from it. His words were filled with despair.
“Baron Kant… you will regret it… you will regret it… the n.o.ble families will not let you off…”
The voice of the G.o.d of War, Edmund, became weaker and weaker until it disappeared. At the same time, the majestic divine power that turned into a huge mouth turned back into a ball.
Perhaps at this time, the G.o.d of War had truly fallen.
Kant pondered over the meaning of the words of the G.o.d of War and was somewhat confused.
“What is the relations.h.i.+p between G.o.ds and n.o.bles? I killed the G.o.d of War, but why would the n.o.ble family not let me go?”
This time, the system took a long time to devour the G.o.d of War’s divinity.
It took a full three hours.
After three hours, the G.o.d of War’s divinity was completely devoured by the system’s pitch-black data chain and disappeared. Even the vast divine power that formed the G.o.d of War’s body was devoured by the system.
[ Ding… After a tough battle, you have successfully captured the G.o.d of War. ]
[ Side quest: Secret of Extraordinary completed. ]
[ Reward: Become an extraordinary knight. ]
[ Comment: This was an extremely dangerous mission, but in the end, you were the one who won. ]
