Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

"Ha, ha. How could I forget, Roan, a guy like you."

Levi's gaze softened.

Having a squire like Roan was enough to make him proud during his knightly career.

Levi shook his head. Disappointment flashed in his gentle eyes.

"Luo An, I am the knight of 'Noble' in name only. Do you really think I would be consumed by the desire for the Dragon Purification Potion?"

Luo An was taken aback, then suddenly understood what Levi's meaning, his gaze sweeping over the dragon's flesh and blood in Levi's hand.

The indistinct flesh and blood, the dragon's lungs had already been mostly gnawed off, but the bright red muscle fibers were still pulsating.

At the same time, Levi's took a deep breath.

A faint flame escaped from his mouth and vanished in an instant.

Even so, Roan still managed to see the blood at the corner of Levi's mouth.

Levi's pupils transformed into serpentine, vertical golden pupils, radiating a dragon-like oppressive aura.

A golden light suddenly flashed before Luo An's eyes.

Luo An took a half step back, his face filled with doubt.

"Mr. Levi, why go to such lengths?"

"Luo An," Levi said slowly.

"You should be able to understand me. Having devoured the heart of a dragon and bathed in its blood, you sensed the power of the dragon long before I did."

So, can you forgive me?

He slowly drew his longsword, his breathing steady and heavy. This was definitely not the wolf howl that Luo An was familiar with.

It was a breath that Luo An had never seen or heard before.

The breath of the Dragon Knight, [Dragon Breath].

"Wait!" Roan took a half step back. "Lord Levi, even if you transform into a dragon, I have no intention of fighting you. Lorton will still accept Lord Levi."

Levi was taken aback, then sighed deeply.

"Luo An, someone as brilliant as you simply cannot understand someone like me."

"Since becoming a Black Iron Knight, for so long, my anger has been treated as a joke?!"

"Luo An, pick up your sword."

Consider this a way of letting me know that my resolve, my betrayal of myself, was not meaningless.

Draw your longsword.

Levi slowly put on his helmet, his golden eyes staring intently at Roan through the armor, a silent killing intent spreading through him.

At the same time, a golden light suddenly burst forth before Luo An's eyes.

Dragon Slayer

【trigger】

Fight dragons to boost all your attributes.

At Roan's waist, the [Chihonte's Axe] was also trembling slightly.

Just how powerful is Lord Levi now, that he can gather power into the [Chihonte's Axe] with mere breath?!

Luo An took a deep breath, reached behind his back, and with a click, drew his greatsword. He gripped it with both hands, stepped back with his left foot, and took a half step forward with his right foot, tilting the sword in a defensive stance against a horizontal slash.

"Very standard stance, Roan. I never taught you how to use a greatsword; did you figure it out on your own?"

"Yes, Mr. Levi," Roan said calmly.

Reeves nodded in satisfaction. He finally drew his longsword, gripped it with one hand, and aimed the tip at Roan.

At the same time, golden light burst forth before Luo An's eyes once again.

[The noble knight, Levi's.]

[Named Ability: Protects the mind and body from any defilement.]

No further knowledge is needed; Levi's strength has been demonstrated in past sparring sessions.

Levi is one of the Black Iron Knights who has mastered the art of dyeing.

The scent of Levi's should have been a light gray, but now it was a light red.

The moment the golden light burst forth, Levi's rapid breathing suddenly became heavy.

coming!

The dragon's breathing was so strong that Roan could tell Levi's movements just by observing it.

The next instant, Levi stepped forward heavily, and in a flash, he was already above Luo An, raising his longsword and slashing down fiercely.

Wow, so fast!

Luo An frowned slightly. His stance did not allow him to immediately raise his heavy greatsword to defend against the high-altitude slash. He could only lower his body to prolong the time it took for the longsword to strike his armor.

At the same time, Luo An took a deep breath.

[Wolf Leap!]

Like a cannonball, Luo An launched himself forward at breakneck speed, the violent momentum lasting only a moment before he leaped two steps away, dodging the longsword. Luo An took another deep breath.

[Wolf Leap!]

Luo An's momentum erupted once again, but instead of charging, he stomped his feet heavily on the ground, leaving deep footprints, forcibly stabilizing the intense momentum of the wolf leap. Using the enormous inertia, he swung his greatsword in a wide arc, sweeping it 270 degrees, and slashed behind him.

With the weight of the greatsword and the inertia of the Wolf Leap, the greatsword could now cut through steel in one stroke!

Levi was still in mid-air, his feet not touching the ground, and he was powerless to stop the attack!

At the same time, Luo An also chanted softly [Vibration].

Roan did not intend to kill Levi. The moment the greatsword struck Levi, Roan would use [Shockwave] to repel him.

As the greatsword slashed toward the armor, Levi took another deep breath and exhaled sharply!

boom!

The mere force of his breath stirred up a gust of wind, and the greatsword struck Levi's armor, sparks flying, but it could not penetrate any further.

The gale hit Luo An head-on. Before he could fully catch his breath, he was unable to resist and was forced to retreat several steps, using his longsword to brace against a tree to barely steady himself.

"What exaggerated breathing." Roan was secretly surprised. Levi's breathing was just a simple external release, a skill of a trainee knight. The strongest external release of breathing that Roan had ever seen was Leia, who could shake off arrows with her breathing.

Levi's breath, at close range, could uproot a large tree.

Is this really a breathing technique that a human being can perform?

The power of the dragon's feast is truly immense.

What level is Levi's at now?

What is the Black Iron Knight's level of agility?

Or even stronger? The Silver Knight?

"No, I haven't reached the Silver Knight level; perhaps my breathing intensity has reached that level. I'm not sure, and I haven't reached that level either."

Levi raised his head, his vertical pupils gazing tenderly at Roan.

"Luo An, you've mastered the wolf jump to such an extent. As your mentor, I'm very pleased."

Luo An was breathing heavily; he had intended to finish quickly, so he forced in two [wolf jumps] within a few breaths.

But now it seems that Roan underestimated the Breath of the Dragon and Levi.

Levi waved his longsword aimlessly. "After years of immersing myself in the howl of the wolf, this is my first time trying a new breathing technique, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

As the words fell, a faint aura began to appear on Levi's longsword.

The atmosphere grew heavy, and then, under the moonlight, it visibly turned crimson, burning like a flame.

【缠柔】 and 【染染】.

Levi stared intently at the longsword, then suddenly swung it, unleashing a crimson aura.

Luo An sensed something was wrong and immediately lowered his body, but the large tree behind him was suddenly cleaved in two by an invisible sword wind and collapsed with a crash.

This move resembled the invisible sword energy that Heather unleashed when using [Agility].

No, completely different.

Levi's sword strike relied solely on its overwhelming momentum; that was all.
