The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Thunderstorms mingled but did not affect the knight's charge on the ground.

Liszt, eager to claim the glory, immediately charged toward another Knight Order after routing the one opposite him, taking advantage while Douson could still cast Multiple Stone Spikes a few more times, to defeat more knights and expand the victory.

Five hundred against three hundred, they already had the advantage in strength.

Added to Douson's impact, the charge was utterly one-sided, and the eradication of Celery Fort's knights was just a matter of time.

Liszt, covered in blood, no longer knew how many Earth Knights he had sent flying with his Knight's Spear. Douson was right by his side protecting him, and Paris, with her Light and Shadow Tug ability, was ready to rush into the battlefield to rescue him whenever necessary. Therefore, his fighting was aggressive and unrestrained.

Such ferocity, combined with his Dou Qi's attribute, unleashed tremendous combat power.

When all his Knight's Spears had broken, he glanced over the battlefield. The knights of Celery Fort were in disarray, being surrounded and cut apart in repeated charges by the Coral Island Knights.

"Jonas!"

He yelled aloud.

Jonas, who was fighting fiercely, turned around with bloodshot eyes, his reason barely holding on: "What's up!"

"You take command, I'm going to assist the Earl!" After saying that, Liszt spurred his horse and galloped away from the main battlefield, with Douson following close behind.

Having transferred the command, on his way to assist the Earl, he quickly switched to the Swift Shadow Bow.

However, he did not head towards the two Sky Knights in combat, but towards his own camp. Approaching the camp, he shouted as he rode: "Open Loki's cage!"

The Retainer Knights guarding the camp hastily opened the cage holding the Landwalker bird.

With a whistle from Liszt, the Landwalker bird Loki hopped over and carried him on its back.

"Take good care of my horse!"

After the brief order, Liszt commanded, and the Landwalker bird dashed towards where the Sky Knights were fighting—Sky Knights can briefly move through the air, posing a great threat to Liszt. Fortunately, the equally adept jumping Landwalker bird could effectively dodge the Sky Knights' attacks.

With it joining the battle, he had a layer of security.

On his way, he blew a new whistle, and soon, another whistle was heard not far away—it was Paris responding.

Having taken high altitude security precautions, the Landwalker bird also brought him to the place of the battle where the Sea Wave Sword Saint Li Weiliam was suppressing Count Sned.

Count Sned had the Thunder Attribute, his body flickering with lightning, yet Li Weiliam's Water Attribute held a gentle beauty, as if the soft could overcome the hard, with mist always able to deflect the other's bolts of lightning.

"Earl, I'm here to lend you a hand!" Liszt shouted as he drew his bow and released his arrows, starting with the "Three Arrows Released Together" that he had already mastered.

The three finely shot arrows flew in a chi character pattern, and under the Swift Shadow Bow's boost, covered a hundred meters almost instantly to strike at Count Sned.

Having trained in "Multi-Arrow", Liszt had already mastered Double Arrow and Triple Arrow, while Multiple Arrow and the Ultimate Mystery Technique still needed more practice. But since he could use Triple Arrow at will, it was enough to declare a significant achievement.

At first, Count Sned did not take Liszt seriously—riding a strange bird did not change a mere Earth Knight's weakness.

Not being able to fly, it was difficult to harm Sky Knights.

However, the speed of the Three Arrows Released Together still startled him. Almost in the blink of an eye, the arrows were before him, forcing him to retract his longsword to block them. One misstep, and he faced Li Weiliam's relentless assault, like wave upon wave of an unending sea!

Then, to his misfortune, he discovered Liszt shooting three sharp arrows from another direction, in sync with Li Weiliam's offensive.

They were as swift as lightning.

"An Earth Knight dares to interfere in the battle; I'll finish you first!" Enraged, Sned frantically activated his Thunder Attribute Dou Qi to increase his speed, abandoning Li Weiliam to turn and go after the "backstabber" Liszt.

Li Weiliam chased closely and warned, "Be careful!"

No reminder was necessary, as Liszt was careful enough.

"Douson, stop him!"

Douson, who was standing beside him, lunged ferociously at Sned.

The Intermediate Magical Beast's might was ferocious; it spat out a Rock Grenade, forcing Sned to land and dodge, effectively blocking his assassination attempt. Facing Douson, similar to but much larger than a Fierce Earth Dog, Sned chose not to confront it head-on but to continue seeking a path to chase after Liszt.

Yet when he looked up, Liszt, who had been close by just moments ago, had already hopped away on the strange bird with a long neck and long legs, bounding hundreds of meters away.

This distance left no chance for further pursuit.

For both Li Weiliam and Douson were simultaneously lunging at him.

"Sned, did you really think you could kill another in my presence!" Li Weiliam descended from the sky, his longsword's gemstones bursting with brilliant light, conjuring a massive sea wave that enveloped Sned.

"Heave!"

Sned rose up to counterattack, his longsword wrapped in numerous streaks of lightning, wildly striking at the sea wave.

Water splashed everywhere, sparks flew in all directions.

The ground around them turned into a marsh, but most of the green grass within was scorched, emitting wisps of yellow smoke. Before Sned could catch his breath, the earth beneath him cracked open and a rock spike headed straight for his rearmost parts, scaring the hair on his head to stand, and raising his armor by an inch.

In a panic, he leapt away, narrowly dodging the sneak attack of the rock spike.

But at that moment, the sound of wind whooshed by his ears, and three sharp arrows flew toward him, targeting his neck, cheek, and chest, forcing him to bend rapidly, draw his sword, and parry, deflecting the three sharp arrows.

The onslaught seemed relentless.

The strikes from Li Weiliam's longsword left him with no room to dodge, and a spark erupted from his chest's armor as he was struck by a formidable force and sent flying.

Thud!

Blood sprayed out through the eye holes of his helmet; he was injured.

Strike while the enemy is down!

Li Weiliam, Liszt, and Douson once again joined forces to attack. Sned simply lacked the strength to fight against Li Weiliam, not to mention facing the Intermediate Magical Beast Blizzard Beast and the archer Liszt of superior skill, he had no ability to contend. No more than three exchanges later, Li Weiliam had struck him with two swords.

As he landed, another rock spike from Douson grazed his calf.

He also endured a midair arrow from Liszt, and although it failed to pierce through his armor made of unknown material, the Dou Qi explosion on the arrow still blew him off balance.

"Li Weiliam! I'll remember you!"

Sned roared furiously, madly churning his Dou Qi, turning to ascend into the air with the intent to flee.

However, no one would allow it!

Li Weiliam's eyes were piercing, his longsword stirring up endless sea waves, dragging Sned back into the fray and pressing him back down to the ground. Meanwhile, Liszt also bellowed, "Douson, tear and bite him!"

At the same time, he drew six arrows, biting three in his mouth and placing the other three on his bowstring.

He executed the Ultimate Mystery Technique of "Multi-Arrow"—Multiple Phantom Arrow!

He released the first three arrows in a spiraling flight, the latter three arrows swiftly chasing them and colliding mid-air, changing each other's trajectories with the Dou Qi attached to them. No one could capture the changed trajectories of the arrows; it was as if six arrows had become a hundred, filling the sky with their shadows.

Assaults like sea waves from the Sword Saint, and the frenzied tearing and biting of a wild beast.

Sned couldn't focus his attention, couldn't see the trajectory of the arrows, and couldn't rise into the air again, naturally unable to dodge this Ultimate Mystery Technique's attack. In the next moment, his vision blurred, his longsword hesitantly lifted to block, the arrow shadows vanished, yet he blocked nothing.

In an instant.

Sharp pain in his left knee as all six sharp arrows hit the same spot; though they didn't penetrate due to the armor's protection, they caused a profound dent in the armor at that single point from the concentrated burst. The explosive Dou Qi caused severe damage to his knee, nearly twisting it off.

His entire leg went numb, even lifting it was difficult.

When he looked up again, he saw Douson opening his huge maw, biting down on him.

"Get lost!"

He mustered his Thunder Attribute Dou Qi and fiercely slashed with his sword, pouring all his strength into this pinnacle of precise technique, and Douson couldn't dodge in time; he was struck directly in the shoulder and flew backward screaming.

But that was also Sned's last defiance.

Thud!

Sea Wave Sword Saint Li Weiliam's longsword plunged through his chest, piercing the front and back layers of the armor, creating a through-and-through: "Even at death's door, you dare resist!"
