Chapter 406: Confrontation
“Hmm?”
Karl’s face showed surprise.
He certainly knew Thunder Spear Tucker was strong, after all, the other party was someone who had spent his entire life on the battlefield.
But,
he didn’t expect him to be this strong.
“You are the only fifth-order knight I’ve ever seen, no wonder you are an existence that can contend with deities.”
“However…”
“I am a wizard!”
Wizards never lack means to deal with enemies.
Muttering under his breath, Karl’s movements were not slow at all.
His mental sea shimmered with colorful light, countless spell circuits operating frantically and solidifying from the ethereal.
Greater Weakness Spell!
Eye of the Gods!
Void Imprisonment Spell!
Breath of Flames…
◈◈◈
In an instant.
Dozens, hundreds of powerful spells were unleashed from Karl, converging into a tidal wave that submerged the approaching figure.
“Boom!”
“Rumble…”
Various fifth-circle spells surged in the air, the terrifying energy fluctuations seeming capable of easily destroying a star.
The power of mortals, in front of it, was as insignificant as dust.
Karl stood suspended in mid-air, gently waving his staff, countless rays of light bursting forth one after another.
Like a celestial being!
He combined the three paths of deity, wizard, and knight, and had reached the peak of the fifth-order in each path.
The depth of his foundation far exceeded Tucker’s.
At this moment, when he unleashed wizardry, his vast mental power transformed into energy that could affect the material world, surging out in droves.
‘Not to mention a mountain, I could easily tear apart even a planet, let alone a person.’
‘Tucker…’
‘Wizards have always been called the strongest among their peers, and my methods are far beyond those of ordinary fifth-circle wizards.’
‘What do you have to resist?’
“Clang!”
The clang sounded again.
Tucker, holding his spear, spun around, the space around him suddenly twisting, like a black hole that devoured everything, and the numerous attacks that had surged towards him were instantly swallowed and disappeared.
Then.
Thrust!
“Swish!”
In the formless, colorless, and intangible void, a dazzling light suddenly appeared, brilliant and pure.
Tucker, holding his spear, leaned forward, the spear point angled, his sculpted features devoid of emotion.
Indifferent, cold, and murderous…
In just an instant.
Cracks appeared in the space that Karl had isolated from the real world.
‘Good technique!’
‘To actually be able to refine my wizardry into your spear, increasing your attack power, truly remarkable.’
Karl felt admiration, and his face also showed solemnity. He raised his staff and pointed forward again.
‘Fire!’
Flames that incinerate all things appeared again.
Behind him, a nine-headed dragon raised its neck, its head held high, and then spewed out dense flames.
Forbidden Technique ━ Flames that Incinerate the World!
This was a unique spell belonging to Karl, born from his comprehension after devouring and refining numerous divine flames.
In theory,
there was no limit to this spell.
“Boom!”
The two violent energies collided in mid-air, the laws of the void plane immediately collapsing, leaving only two figures facing each other across the void.
“Wizardry!”
Tucker praised:
“Truly powerful.”
Accompanied by his voice were the crisscrossing rays of light and the charging spear.
In just an instant, Tucker seemed to have swung his spear thousands of times, causing the barrier that had enveloped the surroundings to collapse.
Karl took a step back, waving his staff again.
Various spells were unleashed as if they were free, each spell possessing extremely terrifying destructive power.
However.
In front of that spear, they all turned into futile efforts.
“Twisting, assimilation, borrowing…”
Karl nodded slightly:
“Good spear technique!”
The opponent’s ‘combat technique’ was extremely powerful, but as long as he understood its principles, there would be corresponding wizardry to counter it.
Forbidden techniques that directly attacked mental power, secret techniques that weakened physical attacks…
“Bang!”
Tucker took a step back.
◈◈◈
The two were now in the astral plane corresponding to the Eastern Kingdom Continent, and could even sense the distant gazes focused on them.
The Outer Gods had already seen them.
“Thunder!”
“Break!”
Tucker charged forward with his spear, lightning flashing along with it, and Karl’s figure involuntarily paused.
Thunder!
In his vision, perception, and prediction, heaven, earth, and the void were all gone, leaving only the lightning.
The opponent’s attack was so powerful that it distorted his perception, even his calculations of the past and future.
“Wall of Laws!”
“Four Source Power!”
Earth, fire, wind, and water rose from nothing, converging into an illusory world, blocking the lightning.
This was the strongest spell that Karl had mastered, reaching the seventh-order.
Only those who had mastered the four elements could cast it.
That was…
The domain of a seventh-circle wizard, a main deity.
“Boom!”
“Rumble…”
The two frantically exchanged blows, their energies colliding, and the resulting fluctuations in the void almost broke through the restrictions set by the gods.
Karl transformed into afterimages and clones, flashing wildly within billions of kilometers, unleashing all kinds of wizardry.
The ferocity of his attacks was breathtaking.
And Tucker.
Holding his spear, he seemed to ignore the rules of the world, a single thrust, poke, or sweep was enough to flatten everything.
“Bang!”
The attacks collided again.
Karl retreated, and Tucker roared to the sky, raising his spear and charging forward.
In terms of strength.
Tucker was much weaker than Karl.
In terms of foundation.
Karl’s was even deeper.
But even after fighting until now, the two could not determine a clear victor, and sometimes Tucker even gained the upper hand.
“Hmph!”
With a light snort, the staff in Karl’s hand suddenly shattered, his hands forming seals, and a huge phantom of Buddha appeared behind him.
Heart Buddha Hand!
The Buddha was as large as a star, its hands each forming a seal, its eyes drooping with anger, pressing down from the void.
“Boom!”
The palm print collided with the spear.
The point of contact erupted with an indescribable light, reflecting a face that was both expressionless and full of fighting spirit.
“Fifth-order knight!”
Tucker roared to the sky:
“Very good, I have lived for more than two thousand years and experienced countless battles, and you are still the first fifth-order knight I have ever encountered.”
“Come on!”
“Take my Meteor Thunder Spear Technique!”
Ninefold Thunder Tribulation!
Tucker’s eyes flashed with lightning, his whole body seeming to be bathed in thunder, and his majestic battle aura surged forth.
In the next instant.
A battle aura far exceeding Tucker’s erupted from Karl’s body.
The gap between the two was like that between a giant and a baby, they were simply not on the same level.
It was clear.
Karl was the giant.
Heart Buddha Hand ━ Wrathful Karma Lotus!
His hands parted and rejoined, and Karl instantly closed in on his opponent, his lotus battle aura blooming like flames.
His palm techniques were almost miraculous in their changes, and his inner strength and battle aura were at the limit of a fifth-order knight.
Each strike
was all-out, but without lacking in room for maneuver.
Unlike before.
Before, he used wizardry to fight from a distance, and even if there was danger, he had room to retreat. Now, however, he had to engage in close-quarters combat, each move fraught with danger.
“Bang!”
“Clang…”
Two figures crisscrossed in the void, each flash leaving a trail of afterimages hundreds of miles long behind them.
The calm astral plane was also stirred by ripples.
And Karl,
still could not gain the upper hand.
