Become a knight starting with synthesized entries.

Simply relying on overwhelming momentum and recklessly using breathing techniques is beyond the reach of a human being.

I've only ever seen a monster perform this level of skill when fighting a demon wolf.

Luo An, panting, slowly stood up.

Taking a deep breath, a faint crimson aura began to appear on the Luo An Greatsword.

【Entanglement.】Uses breathing techniques to enhance the greatsword, and at the same time, also enhances the power of all combat skills.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy from breathing techniques.

"Very good." Levi nodded again.

"You mastered [Entanglement] in less than a month as a Black Iron Knight. Well done."

But a wolf's howl isn't enough to sustain such intense and prolonged breathing. Didn't I teach you that?

Luo An nodded, panting. He had no choice.

Levi's [Entanglement] was already terrifying, and after [Dyeing], Roan simply couldn't withstand Levi's sword.

They can barely manage to put up a fight by relying on [Entanglement].

We can't delay; we have to finish this as soon as possible.

Roan was ready to kill Levi. He took a deep breath, gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands, and held it up to eye level.

[Combat Technique! Wolf Leap!]

Lowering his body to a streamlined position, Luo An suddenly charged forward.

At the moment of explosive release, Luo An's breathing suddenly became heavier, and the aura at the tip of the greatsword instantly shifted, becoming sharp.

[Combat Technique! Rapid Thrust!]

Luo An's speed surged again, covering a distance of several dozen steps almost flying close to the ground. By the time Levi reacted, Luo An's longsword was already close to Levi's throat.

Levi was secretly surprised, and then began to chant softly.

[Shock!]

The moment the greatsword touched Levi's throat, the tip seemed to pierce through a thousand layers of burlap, and suddenly stopped.

No matter how mild and harmless the wrath of Tseren is, it is still the wrath of a god!

The greatsword was only half an inch away from Levi, yet it could not penetrate any further.

In that instantaneous pause, Levi suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the greatsword's blade, and with a sudden burst of strength, pulled it aside.

Driven by the immense force, Roan's body tilted, exposing himself to Levi's front.

At the same time, he raised his other hand high with a longsword burning with crimson energy and slashed fiercely at Luo An.

Seeing that he was about to be struck by the crimson aura, Luo An had no choice but to release his greatsword and retreat while chanting softly.

[Shock!] Plus [Mercy!]

Golden ripples suddenly formed in front of Roan, and Levi's longsword paused, unable to cut any further and even being firmly locked in place.

Taking advantage of the brief pause in the longsword, Luo An retreated instead of advancing, then suddenly sprang up, swinging his fist with the force of [Entangling Softness], and slammed it into Levi's chest.

Levi felt the pain and had to release the greatsword. Roan seized the sword without hesitation and chanted "Microcosm" once more.

A golden light suddenly flashed from Luo An's body, blinding Levi's eyes, forcing him to retreat.

However, Roan's greatsword had an enormous attack range, and in this instantaneous battle, Levi couldn't dodge at all. He was struck heavily by the greatsword, and his armor was cleaved open.

puff!

A large amount of black blood spurted from Levi's chest, splashing onto the snow and miraculously evaporating it as if it were burning.

Without pausing, Luo An took another half step, raised his longsword high, and slashed down again.

Levi suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and took a heavy half-step forward.

As he took a step, the ground in front of Levi's exploded with a crimson aura.

Boom!

Snow and mud splattered everywhere, and Luo An lost his footing, forcing him to stop his attack.

"Hehe," Levi said, panting, somewhat smug.

"I never thought I could use Lord Io's signature move."

"Roan, are you alright? The breath of dragons carries dragon poison, but as a dragonblood knight, you won't be weakened by it, am I right?"

Luo An nodded, panting.

Levi was right; the breath after being "stained" did indeed have an extremely faint trace of dragon's venom.

However, since Luo An possesses dragon blood, this toxin poses no immediate danger to him.

But setting aside the dragon poison, Levi's breathing was still that of a Black Iron Knight. Shocked by such a terrifying aura, even Roan's internal organs seemed to shift.

Right now, Luo An doesn't even have the strength to lift a greatsword.

That's an exaggeration.

Even knowing the power of Dragon Breath...

Luo An couldn't help but curse inwardly: Just how powerful is Levi's breathing?

His wolf howl was almost exhausted, while Levi was just panting. How many more combat techniques could he still use?

Just then, Levi suddenly frowned, clutched his chest, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"What's going on?" Levi asked incredulously. "I've already undergone the Dragon's Blessing; the dragon poison shouldn't have any effect on me."

Luo An was stunned for a moment, then he understood why.

"Lord Levi, you only consumed the dragon's lungs; the dragon venom remains. It will continue to circulate throughout your body as you [dye] it."

"If you keep breathing, the dragon's venom will continue to erode your body. Stop, or you will die."

"Stop?" Levi took a deep breath and stood up again. "No, Roan, you don't understand, I can't stop."

"If I stop, I'll despise myself. Am I betraying myself by performing the Dragon Offering ritual, only to be denied even the taste of victory?"

Luo An silently watched Levi's.

At this moment, Roan finally understood that Lord Levi had not fallen. He was still that gentle knight.

He had only betrayed himself as a "noble" knight.

Luo An sighed. It wasn't a matter of right or wrong, just a choice.

The reality was crueler than Levi's imagined.

In his battle with Levi, through his struggle against the Dragon Breath, Roan finally understood how to use his own Crimson Breath.

"I apologize, Lord Levi." Roan spoke calmly, took a deep breath, and softly chanted [Recovery] spell.

[Mercy] has been exhausted; this is merely a simple way to suppress the pain, allowing Roan to temporarily ignore the muscle aches and raise his greatsword once more.

The tip of the greatsword was trembling, but it didn't matter anymore.

Luo An's [Entanglement] quietly attached itself to the greatsword.

"Very good." Levi gritted his teeth and gripped his longsword tightly.

"That's it, Roan, just do what you're supposed to do!"

Luo An nodded, and the aura emanating from the greatsword suddenly began to flow.

Like flames, like smoke.

The reddish-gray dye flowed, rose, and dissipated under the moonlight on Roan's greatsword.

Levi was stunned, somewhat incredulous, then smiled with relief.

"Good lad."

Luo An spoke softly.

"Lord Levi, please be careful."

Levi nodded: "Okay!"

Luo An suddenly sprang into action, charging towards Levi's while raising his greatsword and slashing down fiercely.

Levi raised his longsword at the same time.

A loud wolf howl suddenly erupted from Luo An's body.

Three sunsets!

Centered on Luo An, a powerful aura instantly erupted, breaking through Levi's longsword.

Levi's breathing suddenly became like a drumbeat, forcibly relying on his powerful breaths to stabilize his body. Even if he was cut open by Roan, he would still meet the blow head-on!

He will die, he will win!

clang!

The greatsword cleaved through Levi's armor once more!

Levi grunted and, with all his might, thrust the longsword into the gap between Roan's neck and the armor.

Just then, a powerful aura erupted from Luo An once again, and Li Weisi watched in despair as the longsword was knocked away and flung into the darkness.

"【Three Sunsets】?!" Levi's pupils widened, and his surprise lasted only a moment. He gritted his teeth, swallowed the blood in his throat, and used the last bit of strength to lower his body.

[Wolf Leap!]
