(Large Chapter in W Characters, Asking for Monthly Tickets!)_2 Countless soldiers and knights attempted to stop him, but with Adalbert leading the army in the front, their hastily swung blades and swords broke as naturally as if striking against mountains.

The Netherworld Armor and Rock Cast Knight’s defenses overlapped, rendering the Alchemical Cannons’ bombardment merely a nuisance, at most causing stars to appear before his eyes as long as they didn’t hit him directly.

The constant cries of battle from behind couldn’t distract Ian’s focus in the slightest.

After learning the true nature of the final plans involving the Deceased Monarch, the River of Death, and the rescue mission, his goal had always been singular.

To eradicate all the beasts within the Avak Central Research Laboratory.

—Naturally, this included Viscount Avak.

In midair, circles of sonic booms exploded, and Ian, like a cannonball, streaked across the sky in a bright arc of fire, sword in hand, thrusting straight toward Viscount Awak!

“Kill him!”

With a stern command, Viscount Awak believed that even though he might have surpassed the Ghost Valley Knight in strength, he certainly didn’t want to face him one-on-one.

The moment Ian charged at him for the second time, twelve knightly phantoms, more substantial than the others, materialized around him.

They were members of his Mingye Knight Order, knights who were Sublimators that had been enhanced by the River of Death; each one possessed destructive power enough to threaten Ian.

The summoned Mingye knights sensed the threat of the man before them, feeling as if they were completely seen through, a palpitation that instinctively caused them all to raise their weapons and shields, step forward, and confront Ian.

Six of them split into two squads, maneuvering to Ian’s rear from two directions, while the other six charged with Viscount Awak straight on—an ideal pincer move executed with utmost coordination.

They simultaneously launched their full-force attacks from different angles with swords, spears and halberds, axes, and hammers, leaving almost no angle unassaulted in a near 360-degree range.

—Do I need to use the Light Element Purification Elixir?

No, not necessary, I can handle this situation.

Ian’s mind was as tranquil as still water.

With Fairy Perception, he had the twelve knights securely locked in his focus.

The six knights trying to flank him couldn’t escape his vision, and he knew that destroying these crimson phantasms, no matter how many, was fruitless.

The real key to victory was Viscount Awak.

In front, Viscount Awak gripped his Long Halberd tightly; he was the only target that truly mattered.

The Ji Halberdier Mercenaries of Yanjiang were among Terra’s most renowned mercenary groups, and their weapons were familiar to any knight adventurer.

These weapons, with sharp spearheads, barbs, and axe blades, might seem simple but were actually quite complex and could take over a decade of practice from a young age to master.

Once mastered, the wielder could use a Long Halberd to produce the effects of many different weapons.

Now, Viscount Awak was using it as a Longspear with additional blades.

The sharp spearhead danced, instantly producing eight visible crimson spear forces targeting Ian’s major points: head, neck, arms, torso, legs—all fired simultaneously, determined to spearhead his elite knights through Ian, who was charging at high speed but surrounded completely.

In his left arm, the Aether Crystal began to operate.

Ian was covered in a blue-green Origin Quality Radiance.

His hair wildly danced as he suddenly divided into twelve phantom Origin Quality arms that dealt with the twelve different adversaries using various techniques all at once.

Against swords, he would slap the back of the blade to deviate its force; against spears and halberds, he would cut alongside the shaft to hook and lock its angle; when facing heavy weapons like axes and hammers, he would press against their center of gravity, forcing the enemy to change their force direction, undermining their momentum.

And for the weaker enemies, the phantom hands of Origin Quality didn’t even dodge or evade; they directly grabbed their blades—with a screeching friction of metal, accompanied by a strange ‘crack,’ the knights were shocked to find their weapons instantly turned into scrap.

[His body is harder than our weapons?!]

The knights exclaimed: [My lord, be careful, he’s hiding his strength!]

But it was too late to realize that now.

Using Earth Origin Quality as the foundation to make it solid; Water Element Origin as the pivot for agility; and amplifying the soul with Dead Lord’s Power for instant multi-control.

The Ghost Valley Knight’s eyes lit up with purple Spirit Energy Radiance.

With his own power, he warded off the assault of Viscount Awak’s twelve elite knights, even turning the tables and causing them to be flung back, disarmed, their weapons hovering in midair.

Then, before all the disarmed weapons had a chance to fall, Ian struck!

The air let out an excruciating moan, and Viscount Awak’s face turned pale, for he discovered that Ian’s speed had erupted once again—extreme Frenzy streamed from behind the Ghost Valley Knight, enhancing his speed further, and his Heavy Abyss Iron Sword sliced out four strikes in an instant, deflecting all crimson spear forces with a ‘cross pattern’ of blade light.

Of course, this wasn’t without cost.

The crimson spear forces merely grazed him, leaving four bloody holes on his arms, shoulders, and both sides of his waist.

They didn’t penetrate, breaking only the skin and muscle and stopping once they hit bone.

Then came the counterattack—Ian took a deep breath, his Longsword slashed from right to left diagonally in the air, bringing forth a tide of blue-green sword light, like a catastrophic tsunami aiming directly for the enemy’s neck!
