It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Even though Shanika is not good at fighting, she can remain invincible by creating a "sea of ​​plants" with her terrifying life magic.

As for Ais and Lilia... well, in a pure physical fight, they are no match for Roy, but once they start using their talents, Roy can only suffer a crushing defeat.

At his peak Silver rank, Roy was only slightly inferior to Lilia in their sparring match, provided neither of them used their trump cards. However, when he became Gold rank and Lilia became Grand rank, the gap in their combat power suddenly widened dramatically.

In their sparring matches, even though he gave it his all (without using [Infinite Desire] and [Unquenchable Wrath]), Ais and Lilia still seemed to be handling them with ease, which greatly damaged Roy's confidence.

He didn't know if the witch beside him was special, or if other Grand Witches possessed such terrifying combat power.

It should be noted that he is a master of both the [Explosive Flame] and [Extreme Bloom] traits of the Flame Breathing technique, and his battle qi purity is far higher than that of his peers. Moreover, his physical body has been honed to the point of approaching the Gold Three Star level. Once he uses the "Burning Heart" secret technique, his combat power will increase significantly. However, even so, he is still far from being a match for the two Grand Witches who are skilled in combat.

No wonder the world fears witches so deeply. If even a Grand Witch is so fearful, imagine what it would be like if she were to ascend to the level of a Great Witch...

Put yourself in her shoes; if he were on the opposite side of the witch, he would probably be restless and unable to eat or sleep.

Is this why the two great empires are so cruel and resolute in their attitude towards witches?

Roy guessed this in his heart.

Having suffered a great blow from Ais and Lilia, he now deeply understands one thing after fighting against a snow giant bear of the same level—it's not that he's weak, but that the witch is simply too strong.

The feeling of annihilating an enemy with a single strike, the exhilarating sense of overwhelming superiority among those of the same level, is truly exhilarating!

Looking at the giant black tiger not far away, Roy's fighting spirit grew even stronger.

He sensed the aura emanating from the jet-black giant tiger, which surpassed that of the snow giant bear and reached the level of a second-star gold beast. But so what?

I hope you can bring me some fun in battle...

Holding the knife in one hand, Roy walked step by step toward the giant black tiger. The tip of the knife, burning with crimson flames, swept across the ground, leaving a charred trail.

Seeing the "demon" approaching, the black giant tiger subconsciously took several steps back, but soon stopped, its eyes filled with savage bloodshot veins.

It is a tiger, the king of beasts, and now a powerful monster that dominates the region. How could it back down in front of a mere "little guy"!

The previous crimson meteor made the black giant tiger realize that with its speed, it definitely couldn't escape. Since that was the case, then let's fight to the death!

"Roar!!!"

The tiger roared through the mountains and forests, causing all the beasts to tremble in fear. A fierce shockwave spread outwards from the center of the jet-black giant tiger, and the black flames that were originally only attached to its forelimbs now spread all over its body, like a giant torch burning fiercely.

Everything around that was touched by the black flames, whether hard rocks or fragile leaves, turned grayish-black in a very short time.

Roy continued forward without pausing, though crimson-gold flames of battle aura ignited around him.

—Burning Heart, Activate!

Even when facing a Gold 2-star monster, basic respect is still necessary.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound, the pitch-black giant claw collided with the longsword. To the disbelief of the pitch-black giant tiger, its right giant claw was actually cleaved in half by the longsword. With a series of crisp "crackling" sounds, countless cracks appeared on its claw surface.

"call out!"

A sharp blast of air came from his side, and Roy caught a glimpse of a rapidly approaching, dark shadow out of the corner of his eye—it was the long tail of a giant black tiger.

The black tiger timed its attack perfectly. Although its right claw was almost destroyed, the longsword embedded in the claw meant that Roy couldn't pull the weapon back immediately. Faced with this attack, he either had to abandon the weapon and retreat, or take the hit from the tail whip.

Despite the fact that the black giant tiger's main attack method is its sharp claws, after it mutated into a magical beast, its tail became exceptionally tough, and it even had an incomparably sharp barb at the end.

Once hit, being disemboweled is commonplace; ordinary armor offers no protection whatsoever.

With this trick, the black tiger won several life-or-death battles, and it believed that this time would be no exception.

A faint smile appeared on Roy's lips beneath his helmet. The black giant tiger was indeed far stronger than the snow giant bear. Even the Starfire Blade could not cut through the giant claw in one go and was stuck inside. This tail whip strike made him feel a considerable sense of threat.

Even he risked serious injury if he were hit head-on by the tail whip.

This jet-black giant tiger's strength is definitely not as simple as that of an ordinary Gold Two-Star.

Even a Gold 3-Star Knight can easily slip up and capsize if they're not careful.

Unfortunately, the jet-black giant tiger encountered him.

Inside his heart, a light seal shattered silently. Without a sound, a large amount of blood mist exploded around Roy, his muscles bulged, and his fighting spirit surged.

Facing the fierce tiger whip from the pitch-black giant tiger, Roy neither dodged nor avoided it. With a shout of "Burning!", he suddenly exerted force with both hands holding the long sword.

"Crack!"

The giant claw that had been holding the long sword was clearly too fragile in the face of even greater violence and shattered instantly.

With a "crack," before the tiger's tail could reach it, a huge tiger's head had already risen into the air, and the splattered black blood was like a bright flower blooming in the sky, bewitching and dazzling.

"Sisi..."

Wisps of black mist, rising from the evaporation of black blood, made Roy, clad in the Armor of the Fallen Moon, appear both godlike and demonic.

"Qiang."

The bright silver longsword was sheathed, and the fiercely burning crimson gold battle aura gradually died down.

Looking at the ferocious figure in the center of the wrecked battlefield, Vincent felt a chill run down his spine.

Those two magical beasts!

Even the weakest Snow Giant Bear is several levels stronger than a typical Gold One-Star, not to mention the pitch-black giant tiger that appeared later. Its eerie black flames endowed it with super combat power far exceeding that of a Gold Two-Star and comparable to a Gold Three-Star.

Yet these two terrifying magical beasts died at the hands of the dark silver-armored knight in just over ten seconds.

With that kind of strength, he's at least a Gold Three-Star, or even at the peak!

As for legends, Vicente hadn't considered that possibility.

The legend appeared, and without even lifting a finger, his domain expanded, rendering the two magical beasts completely immobile, leaving them no choice but to await their doom.

Who is he? !

When did such a powerful figure appear in the province of Lafa?

On the other side, Roy, who had just killed the giant black tiger, paid no attention to the red knight beside him. He lowered his head, staring at a black flame in his hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The giant black tiger behind him was collapsing and being destroyed as its life force, soul power, and energy disappeared, turning into black sand all over the ground. This black flame was what Roy had "collected" from the giant black tiger before killing it and used his own fighting spirit to maintain its existence.

This black flame is extremely peculiar.

Even though Roy was not its master and was using external battle qi, it did not immediately go out.

It seemed as if it didn't care at all who was supplying the "fuel".

Because it lost its source of fire, its intensity was gradually decreasing, but very slowly. Roy estimated that if he continued to supply it with battle qi, the black flame could burn for at least another day.

"Something interesting..."

A faint smile appeared on Roy's lips.

The black flames possess a unique magical property, exhibiting a strong "corrosive" effect on both living and non-living things. Anything burned by them will appear to lose its "life," turning gray and white.

Such destructive magical properties could never be generated naturally.

Moreover, while it's not entirely impossible for two magical beasts to come together, the chances are extremely slim.

Warcraft is the king of ferocious animals; there can only be one Warcraft in a group of ferocious animals.

Because there can only be one leader.

Two magical beasts ganged up on the Crimson Knight, and even knew how to ambush and stealth... Combining this kind of magic with an unprecedented destructive attribute, a thought arose in Roy's mind.

This winter's beast tide is likely to be quite a spectacle.

Mechanical invasion, black flames, and monsters that know how to cooperate...

"Tsk..."

Shaking his head, Roy took out a box containing high-purity magic crystals and with extremely strong energy barrier properties that he had obtained from Lord Denham's treasure vault in Iron Mountain Territory. He placed a high-purity magic crystal inside, then "transplanted" the black flame onto it. After doing all this and confirming that the black flame could be "maintained" normally, he then turned his gaze to the golden-red knight beside him.

Sensing Roy's gaze, Vincent's body instinctively stiffened. This is the instinctive reaction of a creature when it encounters an existence far stronger than itself. In nature, when weak creatures encounter beasts they cannot resist, they sometimes choose to play dead. This is because when a beast sees its prey suddenly "dead," it cannot determine the cause of death (fearing poisoning). Unless it is extremely hungry, it will not choose to eat it. Thus, the weak creature can escape death.

This instinct has also been passed down to humans, who are higher animals, and is engraved deep in their genes.

As Vicente watched the dark silver-armored knight approach step by step, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Although his strength was far inferior to his opponent's, his background as a member of the Crimson Knights was his greatest asset.

“Sir, may I ask your name? I am Vincent, the vice-commander of the Crimson Knights. I will never forget your life-saving grace and will repay you in the future. Also, you can go to the Solid Wall. His Excellency the Duke has issued an order that anyone who has done a favor for the Crimson Knights will receive a generous reward.” Vincent respectfully gave a knightly salute and spoke.

Roy shook his head, not revealing his identity, but instead said in a deliberately lowered, deep voice, "No need for material rewards, Lord Vincent. I'd like to ask you about something."

“Please speak.” Vicente’s expression turned serious.

"I'd like to know how many monster incidents have occurred in the province of Rafa since the beginning of winter? And what are their specific movements?"

Upon hearing the question from the person before him, Vincent breathed a sigh of relief. The other person was his savior, and if he were asked about matters involving the Duke's secrets, he would not know how to answer. However, this question was naturally not among the "secrets," so he readily laughed and said, "I happen to know more about these two questions and can provide you with some information, which I hope will be of some help to you."

"The first Warcraft incident actually occurred before winter even arrived."

"That's a viscountry called 'Angi Territory' on the border of Rafa Province. A wolf-like magical beast wreaked havoc there, causing heavy casualties."

"So far, there have been a total of eight monster incidents in the province of Lafa. Our case, because of its proximity and timely discovery, has not caused too much damage, but in other places..."

Vicente didn't elaborate, but his somber expression said it all.

Even a Gold rank, even just a Gold One-Star, can make one a "Vice-Commander" in the Crimson Knights under the Duke's command. Within the province of Rafa, besides the border Duke, the highest-ranking nobles are the three viscounts, and only one of these viscounts is Gold, while the other two are still at the peak of Silver.

In the Radiant Empire, strength does not entirely equate to nobility. Apart from those in the Legendary Realm who can become "Honorary Earls" without any conditions, others, even those at the peak of the Gold Realm, need sufficient merit or contributions to become nobles.

Moreover, minor nobles with their own territories are not necessarily more comfortable than those who rely on major nobles. Various cultivation resources are scarce, and they need to consider and coordinate everything themselves. Therefore, some extraordinary knights are not so keen on becoming nobles.

It's a bit far-fetched.

Let's get back to the main topic.

The weakest of the magical beasts is at least a Gold One-Star, and because of their enormous size, they are often stronger than knights of the same rank. The Gold-level viscount in the Rafa province has not fought for a long time, so his actual combat strength is somewhat diminished, and he may not be a match for the magical beast. Therefore, the Gold Knights who fight against the magical beasts are basically Gold Knights from the Crimson Knights who have fought for many years and have extremely strong combat power.

From the moment the message is received until the Crimson Knight arrives, even at the fastest speed, it will still take some time, and in that time, the monster will have enough time to cause massive destruction.

Upon hearing Vincent's words, Roy's gaze sharpened slightly.
