Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 2037 2009. A Sudden Attack!

The sudden appearance of that tall figure caught everyone present off guard.

A height of three or four meters should have made him incredibly conspicuous, but in the intense battle that had raged for the past two minutes, no one had even noticed that there was someone on the field whose size was second only to Rataen.

No sound, no form... This is the prayer of the assassins under Two-Fingers' command!
Using the effect of the Two-Finger Assassin's Prayer, the figure suddenly appeared, already very close to Ratahn when it appeared.

Then, General Shattered Star's move, [Summon Star], gathered all the enemies within range in front of him all at once.

This was a move that Ratahn would only use if he had full confidence in his own strength.

Otherwise, if one of the opponents pulled in is someone who can penetrate Rataen's protective gravity wave, this move would actually help the opponent close the attack distance.

The figure that was just hiding in the chaotic battle is now using this feature of [Summoning Stars].

He was already in a forward-charging posture when he appeared after the prayer failed.

The gravity released by Rataen during the first phase of [Summoning Stars] helped the opponent accelerate again!
Suddenly, the figure that was attacking General Shattered Star accelerated to a speed that even Rataen himself would not be able to react to under normal circumstances!
Yes, 'under normal circumstances'.

Ratahn was not only caught off guard, but his moves were also exploited by the enemy, and his own situation changed drastically in that instant!

Releasing their battle ash, which they had mastered to the point of breathing, should have been the most exhilarating and fierce moment for a warrior as brave as a lion.

The same applies to Ratahn.

However, just as the first stage of [Summoning Stars] was fully released and the power of the second stage had not yet been fully guided, General Shattered Star suddenly let out a painful groan!

Although most of Rataen's power comes from gravity magic, he is actually a great mage with top-notch skills and in-depth research.

But his battle record, resume, and even his most basic appearance tell everyone that he is also an incredibly strong warrior.

Ordinary serious injuries wouldn't even make him frown.

During the process of releasing the war ash, he uncontrollably let out muffled groans, which must have meant that he was in so much pain that even he could no longer bear it!

In that instant, Rata felt as if his skull had been ripped open! A cold and malicious force was piercing into his unprotected brain from the outside!

The brain itself should not feel pain, a fact that the archmage Ratan knew very well.

But this was clearly not an ordinary physical attack targeting his brain!
He felt as if every nerve and spinal cord in his soft, sticky brain tissue was being rolled up like ribbons on a red-hot iron skewer. The oily brain tissue would even make a 'sizzling' sound when it was wrapped around it!

Two fingers!!!

In that instant, Rataen roared in fury!

Pain and anger surged through General Shattered Star's consciousness like waves.

The fact that the two fingers possess long-range mental influence is no secret to those who have come into contact with them.

They are the bridge between the Supreme Will and the boundary, and the messengers of the Supreme Will.

In religious beliefs, this role has the power to communicate with people's hearts, which is perfectly reasonable.

However, it is clear that Rataen did not expect that the Two Fingers of the Round Table would personally go to such lengths for the so-called Blessed King!
Two fingers personally launching attacks and interventions... Has such a thing ever happened in the history of border regions?!

Ratahn was unaware of this, but he was now genuinely suffering mental damage from the Two Fingers of the Round Table!
An immense force was projected into Ratahn's brain by the two fingers of the round table!
Around his golden lion-swallowing helmet, the spiritual power of the Two Fingers of the Round Table was so intense that it produced a direct visual light effect!
A hazy white light, interspersed with tiny runes, surrounded Ratahn's head!

Just as the various intelligent people among Lann and Rodel guessed: since being besieged by the demigod alliance, the Round Table Two Fingers and Mongot have done nothing but accumulate power, only to project it onto Rataen at this moment!
In the Royal Palace of Rodel, so many old women who had lost their immortality and turned into withered corpses actually thought that it was just to maintain a sealing light screen to cover their bodies.

And at this moment, it's not just psychological harm.

"Greetings from Two Fingers and the Blessed King!"

Ratahn's brain was now a jumbled mess of pain, and even though he managed to gather his scattered thoughts with the tenacity of a top warrior, he was already more than a beat slower than his normal state.

When he heard this greeting filled with murderous intent, his vision was filled with only a shadow!
Montgomery's tattered robe, barely covering his body, was stretched open by his speed, making him look like a giant bat!

As the hairy, bare feet charged forward, they leaped up, stepping over the Rodel Knights who had been squeezed into a small golden mound!

Bearing the strongest atavistic effect among the Golden Clan, Mongot's horns are considered severe even among the Ominous Children. Coupled with his grotesque, twisted fleshy tail, his mere appearance caused a stir of gasps!
Whether it was the Golden Knights of Rodel's side or the Red Lion Knights who came from Galid.

In the Golden Age, under the influence of group mentality, upon suddenly seeing such a fierce and ominous child, everyone involuntarily took several steps back.

They were afraid of being scratched by the horns on Montgomery's body.

Although the Golden Tree can no longer receive souls, and the souls of the Golden Tree people have nowhere to go, they still resist and fear those ominous horns.

This provided Montgomery with a valuable opportunity for a surprise attack!

Stepping over the Rodel Knights who were huddled together by the gravitational waves, Mongot leaped up and landed right on Rataen's head!
His burlwood cane, with its thick end pressed against the palm of his right hand and his left hand holding the very tip, was like an oversized nail, aimed straight at Ratahn's head!

It was only at this moment that General Shattered Star, amidst the excruciating pain piercing his brain, managed to barely regain his senses.

He immediately tilted his head back with all his might, and at the same time, the pony beneath him reared up, causing Ratahn's body to lean back even more violently!
"Bah!!!"

The burl wood cane looks ordinary and unremarkable, but no one knows what it is made of or what kind of power and blessings it possesses.

In short, when the tip of the cane stabbed towards Ratahn, a purple gravity wave flashed across his body but could not be blocked at all!
It was easily pierced by the tip of the cane!
Even the normal protective barrier formed by gravitational waves couldn't stop them, so naturally, the golden armor worn primarily as a tribute to the First King also couldn't withstand them.

With a fierce, clenched-teeth effort, the mighty and powerful Ratan was suddenly stabbed and thrown off his horse!
Ratan had tossed the two black and gold swords aside while his head was throbbing.

Now his hands quickly returned to defend, gripping the hardwood cane to prevent the enemy from thrusting deeper.

Even so, Ratahn was pinned to the ground in that instant, with Mongot standing on top of him and pressing down hard, as if he wanted to pierce him through.

In reality, Ratahn is almost completely exposed.

Even though he and the pony had worked together to change their angle, the tip of the burlwood cane still pierced his lung and lodged against a rib in his back.

He was just one rib away from being completely pinned to the ground by the last layer of skin and flesh on his back!
Thick, bubbly blood gushed from Ratan's mouth, the air-filled blood expelled from his damaged lungs.

But it's not over yet.

Montgomery and the Round Table's two-finger plan, accumulating power for so long, were all for this moment! This one!
In that instant, he would unleash all his power upon Ratahn!
The tip of the cane pierced Ratahn's chest cavity, and within the flesh and blood of that demigod, the golden light of prayer suddenly exploded!

Mongot seems to possess a unique form of prayer that allows him to shape the golden power in his hands into various physical weapons, possessing the divine destructive power of the golden power.

Of course, as a fellow golden demigod, Ratahn's divine destructive power had extremely limited effect on him.

But even disregarding the sacredness of the golden power, who could withstand the sudden appearance of a rotating blade wheel in their chest?

A hissing sound came from beneath Ratahn.

At the point where he met the ground, flying stone chips, minced flesh, and blood were squeezed out!
His entire chest cavity is probably rotten to the core by now!

The blood gushing from Ratahn's mouth covered most of his face.

But at this moment, the almost tangible spiritual power around his helmet also began to fade.

The mental power accumulated by the two fingers of the round table was strong, but when it finally erupted, Rataen was able to withstand it.

Two fingers are ultimately just 'messengers' of the supreme will; they are not professional in actual combat.

"bass!"

After feeling a little better, Ratan, still spitting blood, opened his palm to his side. A black and gold greatsword, enveloped in purple lightning, flew towards him automatically.

Then, without thinking, Ratahn gripped the golden hilt and slashed with it!

The gravitational waves emanating from this strike churned the ground into a complete mess!
Under the tearing force of gravity, one by one, the thorns rose from the shattered ground!

As soon as Mongot realized that the mental power targeting Rataen's brain had weakened after delivering his fierce blow, he immediately jumped up and pulled away.

Ratan's slash and the gravitational wave didn't even touch him.
