Chapter 77: 65 This is the complete me, the complete Gawain! (30,000 words at the third watch, asking for subscriptions)

Holy shit, what the heck is that?!

Gawain and Edward felt completely shattered inside. The blinding light forced their instincts to close their eyes, making them unable to see what the knights had brought. Fortunately, the Nine-Headed Blood Grinding Cavalry also faced the same predicament. Otherwise, the two of them would have likely been hacked to death.

"Turn off the lights!" Edward, eyes shut, shouted at the top of his lungs. He knew it was a light, but its brightness overwhelmed even the moonlight. He felt his blood pouring out, unable to keep up with the loss.

"Ah!" Le Cheng ran forward, a look of surprise on his face, "How did you know I fire thirty-four shots a minute, each a headshot?"

"Damn, who asked you? Just turn off the lights!"

"Well, you’d have to ask if it agrees... Cheese Snow Leopard." As soon as Le Cheng finished speaking, a snow leopard leaped down from a slope, carrying Edward away from the battlefield. Two Blood Grinding Cavalry attempted to pursue but were driven back by Le Cheng’s continuous sniper fire.

"All units, direct all your lights at Gao, let Gao truly experience the sun’s embrace."

Following Le Cheng’s command, countless lights shone down from above, focusing on Gawain. Not only players and knights, but even civilians who were originally hidden in houses joined in. With hundreds of lights, the night was bright as day.

Originally, this affair wouldn’t have required the help of civilians, but Nikun accidentally produced too many lights, so Le Cheng simply had Caster lead the civilians out of their houses. Naturally, they were reluctant at first, since not many commoners had the courage to face the Catastrophe Legion.

But after Le Cheng stirred them emotionally and reasoned with them, families ran out, fearing that arriving late would cost them their lives.

Le Cheng fired two more shots, covering Gawain while laughing, "Everyone, it seems Captain Gawain hasn’t ignited yet. Say something encouraging for old Gao. After all, if Gao doesn’t win, we’re all dead."

At that moment, hearing Le Cheng stir them emotionally and reason with them again, the civilians started crying and shouting.

"Captain Gawain, go for it!"

"Captain Gawain, you must win!"

"Uncle Gawain, thank you for protecting us."

"Gawain, Gawain, I love you..."

Damn, why is someone taking this chance to confess? Don’t they know Gawain is a married man?

Following the voice, Le Cheng turned and saw a gray-haired old lady was the speaker... Oh, a mom fan, then that’s fine.

Listening to the continuous shouts from behind, Gawain felt so embarrassed he almost dug his toes into the earth’s core, but amid the awkwardness, he also felt a peculiar surge of emotion.

A knight is both an honor and a responsibility. While enjoying the privileges this status brings, there’s also a duty to protect the people.

This was the spirit imprinted by Emperor Sigma when establishing the Empire. Although not every knight managed to embody this spirit completely, deserting in the face of danger, most did, because otherwise, they couldn’t have become knights from the start.

However, when a knight sacrifices his life to protect the people, not all are treated like heroes or are respected.

Some people, upon learning of the death of friends or family, would blame the knights, questioning why they didn’t arrive sooner, why they didn’t protect their loved ones... At those times, the spirit of the knight could waver, until the next battle, when they donned their armor and again embodied the knightly spirit.

Just as with deserting knights, those unreasonable people were, after all, a minority.

And now, Gawain truly felt the trust and warmth coming from behind him.

Power surged forth.

Amplification, amplification, continuous amplification!

Unsure if it was because of that trust or bathing in that intense light, Gawain felt his strength skyrocketing. His invisible Fighting Qi enveloped his long sword and body, gradually becoming visible.

Onefold...

Twofold...

Clang!

The Hell Demon Blade attacked, but Gawain countered with his sword.

"So weak."

The previously numbing attack now felt utterly effortless. Even the flames spat by the Blood Grinding Beast were effortlessly blocked by his outer qi, causing him no harm.

Boom!

Fighting Qi burst forth, sending a fierce shockwave forward, even the massive Blood Grinding Beast got hurled away.

At that moment, his strength finally reached the critical point of threefold.

"HAHAHAHAHA, this is me, the complete me! Complete Gawain!"

Maybe due to absorbing too much ultraviolet light, inadvertently frying his brain, Gawain suddenly burst out laughing unusually, swinging his sword, solid Fighting Qi cleaved through the Blood Grinding Beast’s sturdy mechanical shell. Amidst its painful howls, he brutally chopped its head off.

"You’re utterly weak!"

Boom!

As the Blood Grinding Beast fell, the furious Bloodletting Demon crashed down from its back. Gawain stepped on its chest, his descending qi instantly shattered the demon’s chest bone. The beast roared angrily, attempting to fight back, but immediately after, its head was pierced by the long sword, utterly extinguishing its life force.
