475: Chapter 445: Divine Force Conduction and the Limits of Dreams (4/3) 475: Chapter 445: Divine Force Conduction and the Limits of Dreams (4/3) Hum!

The magnet-sand swirling around the Magnetic Light Knight’s body detached from his armored clothing, and at this moment, the Captain of the Defend Knights Order finally realized that he had picked a formidable target.

Not only was the opponent from the Dragon Worship Cult as he had speculated, but it was also very likely a core member with the true Ancient Dragons’ inheritance!

The incredibly thick Primordial Essence defense he had witnessed earlier, even he couldn’t understand how Ian transferred the power of his Siege Rifle’s blast into the earth.

There was no doubt this was a power linked to the Ancient Dragons’ inheritance.

So…

a wave of anger surged in his heart again.

—But he was just another exceptionally talented lucky one, after all.

—Such power can make one strong, but only himself, it couldn’t change the world…

change this vast land.

“And together, we can both be strong.”

A deep blue halo flickered in the depths of the Magnetic Light Knight’s eyes, the luminescence of Spirit Energy lit up, but it was suppressed by increasingly intense electric arcs.

Yet Ian still sensed something amiss.

On the Magnetic Light Knight, he felt a sensation akin to facing Bishop Huai Guang enveloped in White Mist.

And at that moment, a piercing scream sounded—but before the scream erupted, Ian’s figure suddenly shifted, dodging to a position ten meters away.

Boom—Zzt!!!

The visible shockwave from the sonic boom struck where Ian had just been, the materialized shockwave gushing like a cannonball, and that was merely the aftereffect!

With a motion of performing an empty slash in the air, the Magnetic Light Knight wielded a storm-blade composed of countless rapidly vibrating magnet-sand particles that, much like a real blade’s edge, lashed out towards the constantly maneuvering Ian, tearing apart everything in its path.

Cra!

Cra!

Cra!

Where Ian moved, stone forests were cleaved apart, boulders shattered, and even the bedrock buried deep in the earth was sliced and collapsed, turning into a mushy depression.

Facing such an attack, even Ian found it hard to withstand.

The precision with which the Magnetic Light Knight controlled Primordial Essence skyrocketed in an instant, and his speed was several levels faster.

If it were just ordinary dodging, the youth could no longer avoid his attacks.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—Using Foresight View, Ian rapidly dodged the magnet-sand blades, and he even had to draw his Iron Pattern Sword, clashing with the magnet-blades several times.

The power behind the magnet-blades was so great that each strike almost sent him flying.

Were it not for the inherent toughness of the Iron Pattern Sword and Ian’s reinforcement with Earth Element Origin, the sword would have likely followed in the footsteps of the previous Coldlight Longsword, shattering into several pieces.

“This power, there’s something odd about it.

His computation power and Primordial Essence precision have at least doubled, haven’t they?”

Boom!

Another clash of blades, and Ian was forced to retreat over a dozen steps backward before he steadied himself.

The silver-green light in his eyes flickered, and he quickly noticed what was different about the Magnetic Light Knight.

[Chris of Magnetic Light (Gold People variant)]

“Divine Force Conduction?!”

Seeing this keyword, Ian’s eyes widened; he had not anticipated such a turn: “Could Terra really have gods?!”

When he first awakened Innate Wisdom, Ian did believe he had come to a world of swords and magic, but soon, various details told him that this place should be a gathering spot for survivors of a super-technological civilization that had collapsed previously.

Furthermore, the evidence of the Silver Chip and various extraterrestrial beings made Ian convinced that the seemingly magical nature of Terra was, in fact, a ‘technological deification’ phenomenon caused by super-technologies from different planetary civilizations.

Even Spirit Energy and Primordial Essence could probably be explained.

But now, the Core Chip informed him that this world indeed possessed divine power?!

“No, that’s not right—”

Ian threw out several Frost Condensing Potions to create extremely cold areas that slowed the movement of magnet-sand and used this opportunity to dodge.

His mind raced with thoughts: “The White Mist Bishop had given me a similar sensation before, but the Huai Guang Church is too mysterious.

I dared not use Foresight View and the Silver Chip to observe closely…

especially when he manipulated white Spirit Energy, I had an even more ominous premonition.”

“That’s right, the White Mist Bishop can use several different types of Spirit Energy; in a sense, isn’t that ‘granting Divine Arts’?

That is to say, Divine Force Conduction—and the Magnetic Light Knight’s situation should be the same, albeit a bit weaker.”

Having overcome the shock and bewilderment at the unknown, Ian’s outlook on the Magnetic Light Knight was actually clearer: “The organization behind him, it seems, runs deep, managing to mimic the core techniques of the Huai Guang Church.”

“But it’s not beyond my ability to handle.”

If that’s the case, then it’s time to counterattack.

The halo of water-colored light in his eyes revealed weaknesses, and Ian calculated all the preparations he had set up before the battle as he stepped forward.

Like a sudden hurricane, the stone forest in the distance began to shake, and Ian, unleashing his full power, disappeared from sight.

All that remained was a continuously spreading web of cracks on the ground, with visibly embedded footprints on the rock.

“Foolish.”

With deep blue Spirit Energy radiance flashing in his eyes, the Magnetic Light Knight naturally noticed Ian’s ambush.

He almost wanted to laugh.

Not to mention that his body was already surrounded by rapidly spinning Magnetic Sand, almost like a metal grinding disc, which could pulverize even a cannonball into dust.

Even if Ian really had the power to penetrate the Magnet-Sand Shield, how could he possibly hit someone who could move freely in the magnetic field?

He couldn’t even see himself!

But just then, a sudden burst of extreme cold mist appeared within the Magnetic Light Knight’s Magnet-Sand Shield!

“What?!”

The Knight was taken aback, but he quickly realized that the area of intense cold was precisely where Ian had shot Ice Cones that collided with his metal bullets, affecting regions that were swept by the icy dust of the cones!

A considerable part of the ice wasn’t just water, but a delayed-action Alchemical Potion, and Ian had been continually tossing various Alchemical Potions to increase their concentration within the Magnet-Sand Shield.

And now, his Water Element Origin catalysis instantly erupted!

Suddenly, a visibly chaotic zone within the magnetic field appeared, and a rapid figure clad in sharp ice armor broke into it, bringing a whistling wind.

He held a broken sword, pointing it straight at the Magnetic Light Knight without the slightest hesitation and slashing at him!

—How did he find me?

The thought hardly had time to flash through his mind when the Magnetic Light’s initially astonished heart relaxed for an instant—his Magnet-Sand Shield hadn’t completely failed yet.

Look, Ian’s sword is already broken…

Crack, splurt!

Almost instantly, the sounds of breaking armor and tearing flesh and blood rang out together, as the intense cold of the Origin Quality surged through the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword appearing out of nowhere yet extremely sharp, spreading to the Magnetic Light Knight’s body, freezing half of it.

—A good move can be used more than once.

In that moment, the constantly rotating Magnet-Sand Shield also seemed to stop in time, abruptly halting.

“You…

what is this technique?!”

The Siege Rifle fell from his hands, and the Magnetic Light Knight grimly reached out, tightly grasping the blade of the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword, blood flowing red from his hand as if trying to pull the sword out of his body: “You maniac…

you have no idea what you’ve done…”

He stared at Ian almost ferociously, while the indifferent blue eyes of the young man reflected in his helmet’s visor.

“I don’t know?”

Stirring the sword in his hand, Ian made the Magnetic Light Knight emit a painful howl: “All I know is that you’re in agony, and just as I prophesized, you will die miserably.”

“Move, my power!”

Rage and fear mixed, the Magnetic Light Knight’s eyes once again sparkled with deep blue Spirit Energy Radiance as the man roared: “Such a wound won’t kill me—more power, just a little more!”

—Just a little more, and I can break free from this kid’s ice binding and escape this predicament!

In the depths of his mind, he fervently prayed, beckoning the sparkling light at the far end of his Spirit Energy to answer his prayers.

The other side could certainly fulfill his wish, just making him a bit stronger, even just a little…

would be enough to turn the tide.

The prayer was answered, and soft but faint whispers from the far end of the Spirit Energy filled the knight with hope.

But as the message in that voice became clear, it made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cave.

[This is the maximum manifestation of your obsession; it cannot be more.]

The voice, once gentle but now seemingly ice-cold, softly spoke: [This is your limit, Chris.]

[Your dream can only reach this far, no further.]

In reality, Ian pulled out the Heavy Abyss Iron Sword, which had thoroughly scrambled the Magnetic Light Knight’s insides.

And the body of the Magnetic Light Knight, whose half was icebound, dim of eye, fell from midair to the ground.

Crushed to pieces.
