The Knight tossed his axe back and forth with his left and right hand casually. The bronze-like sheen of the weapon started to glow as he began to manifest the power of his Diva.
The space above him started to shimr as a large lizard-like creature with black scales and red highlights appeared above the Knight. It opened its mouth, revealing that a reddish fire was gathering at its throat.
It was ready to blow out a fla.
He’s a lot stronger than Beau. He’s probably in the 7th stage of Body Formation, Michael concluded.
Just then, the Knight’s body suddenly blurred and disappeared from Michael’s sight in an instant.
He reappeared behind, with his axe in hand and ready to slash Michael in half.
The axe was brought down with force and gusto, but at the very last mont, a beam of Unity shot towards the Knight’s head, making him abandon his attack and dodge away.
This surprised the Knight, not expecting Michael to react that fast.
"Do you have eyes on the back of your head or sothing?"
Michael didn’t answer. But with his Shared Drone Vision, he practically had a 360 degree vision of his surroundings at all tis.
He then quickly turned around and lunged at the Knight with his Unity Saber.
But the Knight just smiled and stepped to the side, turned around, and used the montum to swing the axe horizontally.
His target was Michael’s waist, but as the axe swung in its original direction, a wall of water appeared around Michael, slowing down the axe and allowing Michael to [Air Jet] backwards just in ti.
"Okay, I’m going to have to use my real strength now," the Knight declared.
The giant black lizard above his head released a torrential rain of fire towards the axe, making it combust into the sa flas it purged out of its body.
This wasn’t normal fire. It was a fire made with Aubility Power!
With his axe lit afla, the Knight began swinging his weapon diagonally, with his blade leaving behind a trail of fire in the air. It was as if anything the axe touched would be endowed with an eternal fire that even a furious wind could not blow out.
The Knight then lunged at Michael, dragging his axe to the ground and burning all the fallen leaves in his wake.
Michael conjured up twenty magic circles around himself. The bodies of magical animals and beasts started to ld and form inside the circle. Each one was imbued with two mana that synergized with each other.
As soon as the Knight ca close, the magic animals lunged out of the magic circles.
But with a single swing of his axe, the magic animals were split in half. Fire began to grow from the point of contact, quickly beginning to grow and consu the mana inside these creatures.
They were torn asunder by the raging flas of the Knight’s Aubility.
The Knight, now unimpeded, brought his axe from behind him and down towards Michael.
The fire in the axe’s blade seed to have created an enormous amount of thrust within the weapon, accelerating it with such force and speed that Michael couldn’t react to it.
Just as the axe was about to cleave through him, his [Absolute Unity Defense] kicked in and fought against the raging power of the Knight’s flas.
The prismatic shield used Unity to try and tear through the weapon’s very material. However, its Aubility flas were fighting through the Unity, slowly breaching through its defenses.
With the axe blade bearing down on his chest, Michael quickly brought up his [Unity Saber], supporting the prismatic shield.
This seed to have helped a little bit, slowing down the blade to a stop.
But undeterred, the Knight gritted his teeth and pushed down with his weapon harder. The giant fire-breathing black lizard above him opened its mouth, roaring out an enormous fla.
His force and desire translated to a much more powerful Aubility, and the flas in his weapon grew even hotter, starting to tear through the prismatic shield even with the support of the [Unity Saber].
Michael felt the pressure in his hands, making his arms tremble as he held his sword.
Concentrating, he commanded his Drone to shoot a [Unity Gun] in the Knight’s direction.
However, the Knight seed to be keenly aware of the Drone and used his feet to kick up silt from the ground.
Upon contact, the cloud of dust suddenly burst into flas. And as they dispersed into the air, it created a wall of flas that protected the Knight’s back.
The Unity Beam shot towards the flas, but the fire burned through even the destructive power of Unity.
And unfortunately, the sa was happening with Michael’s prismatic shield. The Knight’s blade was slowly inching closer to Michael’s chest.
His Aubility is too powerful...
Using his Drone’s Aubility vision, he saw that the Knight’s heart was glowing with a much more intense orange glow than his own.
Not only that, but the threads that connected the Knight’s heart to his weapon and Aubility were a lot girthier than Michael’s. Michael’s threads were only as thick as a hair, while the Knight was as thick as a rope.
Michael piloted his Drone and launched the switches on the bottom of its fra towards the Knight.
The iron block stuck to the Mithril Relic axe.
And for a brief second, Michael saw his own thread spool out from his heart and connect to the switch.
The orange bubble ca out of the switch’s body and spread outwards to the Knight’s weapon, trying to get it under its control.
However, the Knight’s thread suddenly grew hotter and brighter, emanating its own protective bubble around the axe and eventually popping the bubble that his switch created.
The thread to his switch snapped, making it fall lifeless to the floor.
All in all, the effect of his ’switch’ only lasted less than a millisecond.
He tried it again with his Reverse Graphite block, but the results ended the sa. The Knight’s Aubility Power threads were far too powerful to affect.
This was the difference between a 7th stage and a 4th stage. The disparity was far too much.
"Surrender!" the Knight demanded.
But on the back of Michael’s mind, Harbinger was just egging him on further.
[Co on, Michael! The axe’s edge is just a few centiters away from his chest!]
The Knight’s flas emanating from the axe just barely touched his clothes, but it incinerated it imdiately. It won’t be long before the blade would plunge into his chest.
Is this it? Is there no other way? Is there really no way to fight against such a potent Aubility Power?
But just as the axe was about to pierce through his skin, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
The Knight’s Aubility Power was strong. Very strong. It was evidenced by the thick thread that his GodForge pieces created, allowing for millions and millions of strings to be intertwined together and reinforce it with much more power.
A stronger thread ant that it could release a much stronger Aubility.
This was exactly what he needed for the ’Quantum Step’!
