Chapter 588: Chapter 459: Dealing with All Those Flashy Tricks

Lind stood atop the broken statue’s rubble, watching golden ghosts swarm and swiftly charge at the giants, ripping apart the magic defenses on their surfaces.

Everywhere they passed, only shattered boulders remained, the Gravel Mountain Range’s mightiest giants and giant beast tides, unable to withstand the assault of these ghosts who could ignore physical attacks, were left powerless.

Tione, wearing a set of mechanical light armor and a long dress, had tall black boots springing from the hem of her skirt. A longsword formed from a Magic Ring Shard congealed behind her head. Her style of combat hadn’t changed; it still mainly involved "planting mushrooms." As a "Ring-sister" with a huge shard, Tione didn’t need to worry about energy consumption during her output. She could tirelessly deliver unlimited strikes. Although her upper limit was compressed, her high-frequency bombardments were not something ordinary enemies could withstand.

Especially when facing a group of beasts around third-ring level, Tione’s sword sweeps decimated them, and the resulting mushroom clouds devoured them completely, leaving nothing but scattered remains.

In the year since the Undead had vanished, Lind led his team roaming about, developing towards the direction of Rangers, with a goal to collect ingredients for Legendary Potions, incidentally exploring some treasure locations and thereby improving their overall strength.

Reputation didn’t matter, for Lind valued not the fame brought by the mantle of the Black Knight but hoped that the Undead would recognize him as "Lind Armand." Yet one advantage of having an alias was that it made acting on whim a bit easier.

The most pressing issue recently was a dispute with a Beast King—they had set their sights on the same Magic Potion and had come to blows, but in the end, Lind prevailed with his superior skills and bought it.

If he had known money would settle it, why resort to a tough fight? His wealth was such that the Undead had once drawn in almost half of Lionheart Fort to amass it, more than he could ever spend.

In just one year, the name of the Black Knight had completely surpassed that of the Undead.

Even though his fame spread far, no one knew the combat style of the Black Knight’s team. They only knew the team was small yet acted like an army, they knew their power was formidable, with few defeats.

"There are no Mountain King-level giant beasts, overall quite manageable," Lind paused without any intention of joining the fight; watching his men in action was enough.

Even William’s strength had soared in this year, advancing to Epic rank.

The likes of Nur from the Mechanical God Cult, with the financial backing and a pile of precious materials from Lind, who easily had funds to spare, and despite being a Hong School Believer not adept at making external equipment, had forcibly become a Weapon Master.

"Ska mentioned that there is a peculiar realm connected to the other side of the Gravel Mountain Range," he said.

Last time he came, he intended to collect more Magic Ring Shards but found that the shards brought about by the Bursting Beast Tide were scarce and infrequent, so he took his team elsewhere to deal with other matters.

After that, Ska had kept him informed about the situation in the Gravel Mountain Range, but it was mostly minor skirmishes. They could even organize teams for in-depth exploration with no significant issues arising.

Now that the Legendary Potions had been almost fully collected, only the Legendary Heart of Calamity remained. Lind planned to contact "Abyss," whom he hadn’t communicated with in a long time, as if there was a best way to obtain a Legendary Heart of Calamity, it would definitely be through the Abyss. However, getting in touch with "Abyss" could likely cause the Undead to return prematurely.

He had to make ample preparations and secure all information about unexplored areas in his hands, to maintain an information advantage before the potential return of the Undead.

But according to what he heard from the friendly Beast Kings and the Beastmaster, the Gravel Mountain Range was simply a rather remote magic valley, with no particularly powerful beings presenting themselves.

"What’s for dinner tonight? Ska said the flesh of those giant beasts tastes very good." Lind’s mind wandered. This level of war didn’t catch his attention at all; he longed for a skilled chef to prepare him delicious meals.

By his side, he had a "three-no" Ring-sister with no pursuit of romance, only wanting to increase her strength, and a mechanical ascendant Iron Lump that made life dull. Only Ska was somewhat slick, but Ska’s cooking was nothing to boast about.

To think that the only way to handle quality ingredients was to roast or fry them was just a waste.

...

Piling materials, bombing, unstoppable.

The giants in the beast tide, formerly the primary offensive force from afar, were now thoroughly debilitated due to the ghosts’ interference, losing their threat entirely, and the tide of battle swiftly turned.

The leader of the Red Kite Magic Cannon Group gaped at the destruction wreaked by the Hong School Believers.

Was this the Iron Lump that believed in "Mechanical Ascension?" How had they suddenly taken up arms, and the potency of their cannons outshone even their own, an outright sweep? What did that make us of the Rhino Bird School!

Golden Claw·Quik looked towards the rampaging figure amidst the battlefield. Being famous was one thing, but seeing was believing. He observed the dominating entry and strength of the War God, feeling the disdainful and audacious presence overseeing all.

The cloaked figure just standing in the middle of the desolate battlefield was like an invincible force to behold.

He was probably contemplating how to win this war... no, perhaps he was already thinking about what to do after winning.

"Why doesn’t he attack?" asked Ska’s sister. If the Black Knight joined the war, perhaps it could end sooner.
