"Earth Dragon Bloodline Potion."
Raylo slowly spoke the words.
A wave of gasps rippled through the ranks of the Knights.
The Earth Dragon, a Tier Two Magical Beast renowned for its power and defense!
To be able to fuse with its bloodline was a rare opportunity for any Tier One Knight.
"This Potion was personally concocted by Master Barnaby."
Raylo continued.
"It will not only greatly enhance your power and physique, but also awaken your bloodline’s potential, significantly increasing your chances of breaking through your bottleneck. This might be the critical push you need to step over the threshold and beco Tier Two Great Knights."
The Knights’ breathing involuntarily grew heavier. They stared at the Potions with burning eyes, a mixture of longing, excitent, and a trace of awe for this unknown power swirling within their gazes.
What Knight, seasoned by the slaughter of the battlefield, did not yearn to advance further?
"Step forward and receive it."
Raylo ordered.
One by one, the Knights stepped forward, accepting their individual Potions with solemn, outstretched hands.
"After you drink it, circulate your Fighting Spirit with all your might to guide and fuse with this power. Rember, the process may be arduous, but the rewards will be imnse."
The Knights exchanged glances. Without hesitation, they unstoppered the vials and tilted their heads back, downing the viscous liquid in one gulp.
An indescribable bitterness and earthy tang instantly exploded in their mouths.
In the very next instant, the Potion’s effects erupted within them.
A searing torrent rose from their stomachs, sweeping through their limbs and organs like molten lava.
The Knights’ hearts hamred wildly, as if trying to burst from their chests.
The air on the training grounds suddenly grew heavy as a primal, savage aura began to spread.
"Ugh!"
Suppressed grunts rose one after another.
Veins bulged on the Knights’ necks and arms, and the blood beneath their skin surged like boiling magma.
Their blood boiled in their veins!
Their faces alternated between flushed red and deathly pale. Beads of sweat dotted their foreheads as their muscles trembled uncontrollably.
A faint, earthy-brown halo erged on the surface of their skin. Within the glow, so of the Knights’ skin seed to grow tougher, taking on a faint, rock-like texture.
As an earth-attribute subspecies of Magical Beast, the Earth Dragon’s bloodline contained earth-attribute Magic Power. As it fused with the Knights, this power began to take effect, reforging their bodies and increasing their physique and Power.
Every Knight was locked in a battle with their own will.
The Fighting Spirit within them circulated automatically, trying to ta this sudden, imnse power and integrate it into their own systems.
It was a process of guidance and fusion, a contest between will and bloodline.
A young Knight nad Roy, whose fra was slightly thinner than the others, clenched his jaw, his bangs soaked with sweat.
He could clearly feel the violent power contained within the Earth Dragon bloodline, like an awakened Giant Beast, rampaging through his ridians and trying to break free of his control.
He repeatedly recalled the techniques for cultivating Fighting Spirit, desperately trying to restrain, channel, and absorb this power into himself.
’I can’t fail. I absolutely can’t!’
The thought echoed relentlessly in his mind.
The entire process was fraught with tension.
The Knights’ Armor began to creak and groan, strained by their swelling muscles.
Ti passed second by second, each breath feeling agonizingly long.
The initial violent impact gradually subsided, and the pained expressions on the Knights’ faces eased slightly.
The earthy-brown halos on their bodies slowly stabilized, their color growing deeper and more concentrated.
Suddenly!
"BOOM!"
A powerful shockwave of aura erupted from a Knight nad Philip!
He was usually unremarkable, known only for his tenacity, and had been stuck at the bottleneck of a Tier One Knight for a long ti.
At this mont, the Fighting Spirit in his body seed to shatter invisible shackles. It surged dramatically, and the once-pure fla of his Fighting Spirit beca interwoven with a dense, earthy-yellow aura, exuding a steady and profound presence.
"HRAAGH!"
Philip’s eyes shot open, flashing with a brilliant light, as he let out a low roar that had been suppressed for a long ti.
His entire aura was completely different. A transformation had occurred.
A Tier Two Great Knight!
He had succeeded!
This sudden breakthrough was like a shot in the arm for the other Knights.
Imdiately after, another muffled roar echoed.
The veteran Knight, Gesen, shuddered violently. His already burly fra seed to grow even taller as the earthy-yellow fla of his Fighting Spirit flared, solidifying until it radiated an indestructible might.
The Stone Slab floor beneath his feet even began to emit faint cracking sounds.
Another Tier Two Great Knight was born!
Although the remaining eighteen Knights didn’t break through their Tier on the spot, the changes in them were just as remarkable.
The feeling of power within them was far greater than before, their Fighting Spirit flowed more smoothly, and their foundations had beco incredibly solid.
They could clearly feel a profound and powerful energy lying dormant deep within their bloodlines. With enough ti and continued cultivation, a breakthrough was just around the corner.
A satisfied smile finally appeared on Raylo’s face.
Two Great Knights born on the spot, and a huge boost for the rest—the results were even better than he had anticipated.
A flash of admiration also crossed Ed’s eyes.
Philip and Gesen felt the surging, tempestuous power within them.
They walked before Raylo and knelt on one knee.
"Thank you for your gift, my Lord!"
Philip’s voice was sonorous.
"We are willing to die for you, my Lord!"
Gesen said gratefully.
The other Knights also ca to their senses. Feeling the complete transformation they had undergone, they all dropped to one knee in unison.
"All of you, rise."
Raylo stepped forward and bid the Knights to rise.
"You’ve earned this with your valor and blood. A Knight’s rit is forged on the battlefield. I look forward to your future performance!"
The Knights rose to their feet, stretching their limbs and feeling the surging power coursing through them.
Philip was the first to speak, his voice slightly hoarse with excitent.
"My Lord, this Earth Dragon Bloodline Potion... it’s a gift from the gods! I feel like I could kill a Barbarian Bull with a single punch right now!"
As he spoke, he subconsciously threw a punch, stirring up a gust of wind.
Gesen added in his rumbling voice.
"My Lord, the increase in Power is incredible. I reckon I’m at least thirty percent stronger than before—no, maybe even more! My body feels much tougher, too, like I’m wearing a layer of invisible Armor."
The other Knights chid in excitedly.
"That’s right, my Lord! I feel like I could run all day in full Armor without breaking a sweat!"
"It’s hard to put a number on the boost to defense and physique, but it’s definitely a qualitative leap! When the Potion took effect, I felt like my very bones were hardening!"
"The Power! The increase in Power is the most obvious! I feel like it’s gone up by at least thirty percent, maybe even close to forty percent!"
One Knight gestured excitedly, nearly smacking his comrade on the helt.
Raylo listened quietly.
A thirty to forty percent increase in Power—this had already surpassed his most optimistic expectations.
The strengthening effect of the Earth Dragon bloodline on a Knight’s physique and Power was even more outstanding than he’d anticipated.
He raised a hand to signal for silence and said,
"Very good. Since you have obtained this power, you must use it where it matters most."
Raylo’s gaze swept over the twenty transford Knights, a plan already forming in his mind.
"Ed."
"I am here!"
Ed stepped forward.
"Prepare a full set of Refined Heavy Armor and Two-Handed Greatswords for these twenty n."
Raylo said.
"From this day forward, you will serve as the first infantry Heavy Armor Knight squad, directly under the command of the Moonlight Knight Order. Your mission is to charge the front lines, tear through the enemy’s formation, and beco the sharpest spearhead for the Black Stone Territory!"
"An infantry Heavy Armor Knight squad!"
A fiery light erupted in the eyes of Philip and Gesen.
Heavy Armor Knights were the most terrifying presence on the battlefield—the unwavering pillar, the sharp blade that shattered fortified positions!
The twenty of them would beco such an ace in the hole for their Lord!
"We are willing to die for you, my Lord!"
The twenty Knights roared in unison once more, their voices shaking the very fields around them.
This ti, their voices were filled with unrivaled confidence and an unstoppable, forward-charging montum.
Raylo nodded in satisfaction. His gaze shifted to one side as he raised his voice and called out.
