Pitch-black steel lightning crisscrossed the dim sky.
Tearing apart the atmosphere and stirring up a storm.
On the land where the iron thunder pierced through, both the rocks and the land made trembling sounds under the impact of the clashing of metal and iron and the collision of magic power.
Even hundreds of miles away, the water curtain in the lord's mansion began to shake with the aftermath of the magical collision. It was not until Tristan plucked the strings of the harp and zoomed out of the view of the water curtain that it stabilized again.
"Cain...is not at a disadvantage?"
There was incredible joy in Gawain's voice.
Although Cain's body no longer resembled a human being, judging from the image reflected in the water curtain, he was clearly fighting against the two legends on equal terms.
If they could continue like this, then by the time the king arrived at the battlefield, he might be able to evacuate Cain safely.
This time, the force mobilized by King Futigeng was far beyond their imagination. As long as they could preserve their manpower without any loss, it would be a complete victory.
...
...
"No."
Tristan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of solemnity in his gaze as he looked at the water curtain.
"Although His Majesty Cain did use some special means to raise his abilities to a level comparable to that of a legend...but I can feel that his magic power is being consumed at a very fast rate."
…
boom--
The sound of metal clashing rang out again.
The earth let out a cracking sound, and the dark figures collided with each other like meteors, and then bounced off again.
Vortigern's armor was covered with dust, and he looked a little disheveled, but he was not injured.
On the other side, deep cracks appeared on the surface of Shayana's Black Knight mecha, almost piercing through the body.
The alchemical matrix emerged, and the undead metal surged rapidly like a fluid, repairing the damage that was enough to paralyze the body.
However, such repairs are not without cost. Every time the alchemical matrix manipulates the metal particles for re-refining, it consumes a huge amount of magic power as compensation.
At this moment, in the center of the Black Knight, the magic furnace core that was originally hot and bright has become much dimmer.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Vortigern's eyes were fixed on Char's Black Knight machine, and he walked slowly.
With his legendary status, even though he had never seen or heard of it before, after the actual battle, he was still able to roughly know Char's current situation.
"Simply use the alchemical matrix to refine free metal into a giant exoskeleton weapon to greatly improve your physical fitness?"
It is not difficult for Vortigern to understand such a line of thought. The vision of legends is so broad that some emperor-level metal life forms can do similar things.
But, if it were just that.
It is just an advanced ability similar to the higher level "Armorization".
But it is impossible to achieve the effect that Cain is showing at this moment.
Although the total amount of magic power is only the fifth or sixth ring, he truly possesses the ability to compete with legends.
If there were not multiple legends present on his side at this moment, even if Cain was defeated in the end, he would still have a chance to escape.
His eyes were fixed on the center of the Black Knight mecha—the furnace core that emitted a scorching light and shone like the sun.
With his legendary mental power, he could naturally sense that this reactor was the root of everything.
It was this sun-like core that acted in a way that Vortigern himself had never heard of or seen.
With unimaginable efficiency, magic power spanning several orders of magnitude was supplied to the entire body of the metal machine.
It enables it to burst out with combat power that transcends levels and exceeds the boundaries of legend.
"Submit to me and hand over this ability."
"I promise in the name of the king of this land, Lord Esgania, that I will grant you wealth and glory."
The majestic voice resounded throughout the earth.
Although he stole the throne by despicable means, in terms of strength and rank, Vortigern is worthy of being the king of this territory.
The voice of kingship that was like a spirit of words came like thunder and turned into a tangible restraint, which was about to shock Char's mind and make him submit to it.
He originally wanted to kill Cain. After all, the threat posed by the Akatsuki organization was too great and it was something that could truly shake his rule.
But at this moment, Vortigern still spoke.
With his vision that surpassed that of ordinary legends, he naturally knew very well what the magic core in Cain's body represented.
A legendary combat force that can be mass-produced.
Even though its battery life is insufficient, even though it has many shortcomings such as its body being fragile... and there may be other limitations as well, a single machine is far from being comparable to a true legend.
But even so, this is still enough to change the entire situation of Esgania... no, it is enough to change the entire situation of the Western Continent.
However, the next moment. However, Futigeng only saw that the king's solemn command, which was transformed from the power he mobilized on this land, was shattered silently.
"So, when did you develop the illusion that the Black Knight was my strongest ability?"
The cold words rang out.
The next moment.
The huge dark machine suddenly shattered.
The scorching magic furnace core was spinning at a speed that was close to self-destruction, and once again erupted with extremely powerful magic power.
Then, it was all integrated into the metal that was refined again.
Thousands of pitch-black metals stretched out from under the ground and turned into metal cages, completely sealing off the bodies of Vortigern and the blood prince Flanders.
The huge black mecha collapsed, revealing the thin figure of Cain inside it.
Vortigern looked at the dark metal cage that trapped him, somewhat puzzled by the meaning of Cain's actions.
The metal cage created by destroying the core in a way that was close to self-destruction could indeed trap them for a while.
But, it was only for a moment.
With their legendary rank, they would be able to break out of the seal in a minute at most.
The price of doing so is that Cain will completely lose the protection of the dark body, and he will no longer have the qualifications to rely on this body to resist and survive for a moment.
Of course, Vortigern knew it too.
Even without this body, Cain has mastered a certain ability to move in space, and even a super strong self-healing ability. Even Flanders' "heart control" is ineffective on him. His ability to survive is extremely amazing.
However, in the face of legend, none of this actually means anything.
Teleport skills must have a cooldown and distance limit, instead of teleporting over long distances, you can catch up in minutes with the legendary speed advantage.
As for the self-healing ability... there are vampires in this world. Whether it is sealing or making a cage with mithril and sinking it to the bottom of the sea, they are all extremely effective methods.
boom--
boom--
The magic power that devoured the light surged, impacting the metal cage wrapped around him, causing it to explode and crack.
The moment his royal authority was shattered, Vortigern had already decided to kill Cain.
Whether it's Akatsuki or the magic core technology that can allow a metal machine to temporarily gain legendary combat power, they are all too terrifying.
If it cannot be used for one's own benefit, then the only option left is to destroy it completely.
However--
Watching the metal cage he created being broken one after another, Char did not immediately activate his space teleportation ability to escape while they were bound, as Vortigern and Flanders had expected.
He simply closed his eyes.
Then, through the faint spiritual resonance that Aurora shared with him.
Feeling the presence of the Holy Spear Rongomyniad.
At first, Char was a little puzzled. He had clearly been in that period of history, and the Holy Sword had been obtained by Artorius, but there was no trace of the Holy Lance.
And it was not until this moment that he understood.
The location of this holy spear is not in the material plane.
But just as its reputation as a star-made weapon suggests... it is floating in the starry sky.
And at this moment.
Following that faint connection.
The Storm Spear that was roaming above the starry sky was slowly adjusting its angle.
final.
It was aimed at the distant land, Esgania, where the Valley of the End was located.
"So that's what I'm saying, Vortigern."
"You know nothing about true power."
Char raised his arm and looked at the metal cage and the army in the distance that had survived the previous Infinite Sword System.
"Cry, scream, wail."
"Then--"
"Listen to this, the silence of extinction."
