Wizard Immortal

End of Chapter 325

The sharp blade sliced ​​past his eyes and struck Adir's neck heavily.

At that moment, in the distance, a black-clad knight was killed with a single sword strike. Alina was deeply moved and dared not look in that direction, unable to bear witnessing what was to come.

Standing still, the burly man in black robes swung his sword backhand, the large black blade transforming into a streak of black light as it slashed heavily towards Adir.

bump!!

A loud noise rang out from the spot, accompanied by a severe sense of blockage.

With this strike, the surrounding earth shattered rapidly, and rubble and dust were blown away into the distance.

Given the power displayed in this attack, and considering Adir's current state, he is doomed.

However, just as the beast knight had said, this process would be very quick, so quick that before Adir could even feel the pain in his body, his body would be crushed by the terrifying battle aura, leaving only a pile of flesh and blood.

However, the expected sensation did not come.

"This is···"

Standing still, the black-robed man suddenly froze, sensing an unusual and immense aura rising up. Instead of extinguishing completely, it grew even stronger.

Feeling this sensation, he turned around and looked into the distance.

Amidst billowing dust, a knight stood silently in the direction where Adir had previously stood.

He was a pale-faced young man with white hair. He looked very weak, as if something had taken away his life force, and he appeared gloomy and sullen.

On his body, the battle aura that had almost disappeared reignited, and a silvery radiance was shimmering, like bursts of moonlight.

A faint aura of battle energy rose continuously from his body, and the shattered battle energy armor reformed. However, compared to before, a pair of somewhat ethereal silver wings were slowly forming on Adir's back, looking quite beautiful.

Those are wings of battle aura, which only knights who have progressed far in the Sky Knight stage can possess.

"Wings of Battle Aura!!"

Seeing the silver wings emerging on Adir's back, the black-robed giant was finally shocked, his expression no longer composed: "He burned his entire life force, and not only did he not die, but he broke through in the most intense battle, condensing wings of battle aura!!"

"What a terrifying talent..." Lilith's voice rang out from afar.

Controlling Alina's body, she looked at the illusory wings of battle aura behind Adir in the distance, and was shocked: "Only a few months..."

As the guardian of the Maran royal family, he had carefully observed Adir's situation after he first took notice of him.

When the other party recently joined her, she clearly sensed that he had indeed just been promoted to Sky Knight, and there was no doubt about that.

But now, in just a few months, he has been promoted again and entered the realm of titled knight.

This talent, not to mention the current Maran Empire, would definitely be considered top-tier even in the ancient era when many kings rose up.

"Perhaps it's because of vitality."

In the blink of an eye, another possibility came to mind: "In the process of a knight burning his life force, the life energy in his body will sublimate rapidly. If his potential is good and strong enough, he may be able to explode in this process and sublimate the seed of life before he dies."

"Are you a royal descendant?" In the distance, the black-robed giant also realized this, and his eyes suddenly became somewhat fanatical: "To sublimate the seed of life at the end of life's burning, such a legendary thing can only be done by the most elite royal bloodlines."

"Looks like I almost missed a big fish this time." He opened his mouth wide, revealing a chilling smile: "Your flesh and blood are far more precious than that so-called Seventh Princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his broadsword down, aiming to slash at Adir.

Compared to the previous attack, this attack was undoubtedly much more powerful, with its immense battle aura sweeping around and enveloping an area of ​​tens of meters in all directions.

bump!!!

A violent boom erupted from the spot, and within it, two figures flashed past each other in an instant.

"This feeling..." Feeling the immense power surging through his arm, the beast knight's face showed disbelief: "In pure strength, he's even stronger than me?"

"Unnamed character, Strength: 18.3. Agility: 17.2. Constitution: 18.5. Mental Strength: 3.1. Condition: Good."

On the other side, the opponent's physical attributes flashed past Adir's eyes.

Judging from physical attributes alone, the opponent's physical attributes are undoubtedly very powerful, almost equivalent to a small magical beast. Even without the power of the Life Seed, it can still hold its own against a wizard in the metamorphosis stage.

However, compared to Adir, these physical attributes are still not enough.

Previously, because his knight rank was only Sky Knight, Adir did not want to show too much strength, so he deliberately showed weakness and was repeatedly defeated by the opponent.

However, at present, the level of knight he has demonstrated is already at the level of a titled knight, and naturally the upper limit of the power he can demonstrate has also increased accordingly.

Although it's important to maintain a good facade and avoid overdoing it, demonstrating a level of skill that slightly overwhelms the opponent is not a problem.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind. Before me, Adir was pale and looked very calm, but he exuded a sense of powerless weakness.

He looked at the savage beast knight before him, and with a sudden swing of his silver longsword, it transformed into countless silver rays, shining brightly.

In the air before them, streaks of silver light flashed continuously, interspersed with powerful sword beams, eventually coalescing into a massive silver net that pressed down upon them.

Within this enormous silver net, a single, brightest light burst forth, rushing madly towards its opponent.

Yinhua!!

At this moment, the power of the life technique erupted once again, reaching its maximum in an instant, and crashed into the opponent before the opponent could react.

Roar! !

A deep roar echoed from the spot.

Standing still, watching Adir's figure charging towards him from afar and feeling the impact of the sword strike, the beast knight let out a roar, his eyes filled with madness.

He didn't retreat at all, but strode forward and swung his sword at a powerful and direct angle, channeling all his strength into this one strike, slashing fiercely towards Adir.

boom!!

A violent burst of light erupted, and the massive battle qi collided continuously, unleashing a scorching and terrifying power.

A crack several meters long appeared around them, carrying two forces of different natures that were constantly annihilating and colliding.

At the center of the collision, two figures flew outwards; they were the Beast Knight and Adir.

Just now, such a terrifying attack was unleashed, and both of them sustained injuries of varying degrees, leaving deep marks on their bodies.

However, Adir's injuries were much more severe. He had many wounds all over his body, and there was a gash on his chest from which blood was flowing out, making his face look extremely pale.

As for the beast rider in the distance, his injuries were much lighter. He only had some small wounds, and his right arm, which was holding a sword, hung limply, indicating that he had been significantly affected.

This result is easy to understand.

After all, Adir had been fighting for several hours, his strength was exhausted, and even his life force was being burned away, bringing him close to the brink of death.

Even if he eventually condensed the wings of battle aura and forcibly suppressed the trend of death by sublimating the seed of life, it would be impossible for him to immediately heal his injuries, and naturally he could not compare with a titled knight in full condition.

In the distance, the beast knight, having just suffered that attack, was also in great pain. His blood seemed to be flowing backward, and his body was being eroded by Adir's life energy, making him look somewhat pale.

Looking at Adir in the distance, he took a step forward, intending to continue the fight.

A crimson sword aura suddenly erupted, appearing before his eyes in an instant and blocking his movements.

He looked up in the direction from which the battle aura was coming and saw a young girl holding a crimson longsword, looking at them with a cold expression.

That was Alina, who finally had a chance to make her move.

As for the three black-clad knights who had previously attacked her, one was dead and two were injured, so they were no longer a threat to her.

Looking at the beast rider in the distance, her face was indifferent. She quickly walked to Adir's side. Although her aura had weakened, it was still terrifying.

Opposite her, seeing Alina's current state, the Beast Knight's expression turned solemn, and he stopped in his tracks.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

After several hours of fierce fighting, two of the black-clad knights on the Beast Knights' side were killed, and the three surviving knights were all wounded, with only he himself remaining in relatively good condition.

As for Alina, Adir had collapsed to the ground, barely holding on by his last breath, and appeared to have lost the ability to fight, leaving Alina alone.

Even so, the beast riders still dared not make a move.

He looked at Alina, who was standing in front of Adir in the distance, and remained silent for a long time, his eyes sharp.

"You have a good knight," he finally said after a long silence.

He looked at Alina and Adir in the distance, a hint of regret in his eyes: "You were lucky this time..."

"But you might not be so lucky next time."

After saying this, he didn't waste any more time, turned around, and left with his subordinates.

Watching the other party leave silently, Alina's face was cold. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at the seriously injured Adir beside her and finally gave up the idea of ​​giving chase.

Standing still for a while, she suddenly swung her sword, sending it flying into the distance.

A burst of crimson battle aura erupted, instantly transforming into a crimson sword beam that rushed towards the distant building with a scorching sword wind.

In an instant, the building was shattered by the violent fighting energy, and several figures retreated rapidly within it.

"snort!"

Seeing that Elina's expression remained unchanged in the distance, the beast knight grunted and turned to leave.

This time, Alina didn't move. Instead, she sheathed her longsword, turned around, and looked at Adir in front of her.

"Teacher, how is he?" Alina asked, looking intently at Adir on the ground, feeling a little nervous.

"Though weak, she still has a breath left," Lilith's voice rang out, but her words carried a sigh: "What a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Alina asked instinctively after hearing Lilith's words.

"His injuries were too severe. Forcibly burning his own life force, although he ultimately succeeded in advancing, also caused great damage to his body," Lilith sighed. "Just that one moment, he lost at least a hundred years of his lifespan."

Hearing this, Alina was taken aback, then asked, "Is there any way to salvage this?"

"There's nothing we can do; that's just how life burns," Lilith sighed. "And it's all thanks to him, otherwise you and I would be the ones paying the price this time."

"However, if he can be promoted to Radiant Knight in the future, perhaps he can think of other ways."

After hesitating for a moment, Lilith spoke again: "I remember many of the secret techniques of the Radiant Knights. Many of them were created by ancient kings to prolong their lifespan, and they can be effective in this situation."

"However, he burned his life force and also burned most of his potential, so the chances of him being able to advance to the Radiant Knight in the future are very low," she sighed.

"There will always be a way." Ellie nodded, a determined look in her eyes as she recalled the scene of Adir's bloody battle.

"It's over." Lying quietly on the ground, sensing the changes in Alina's emotions, Adir thought to himself, "It seems the breathing technique is working fine."

"It wasn't for nothing that I worked so hard on this role."

Looking at Alina in front of him, this thought flashed through Adir's mind.

He was fairly satisfied with his previous performance.

Although he looks a bit pathetic now, no matter what, after today's events, his image and status in the other person's heart have been established.

No one dislikes a loyal subordinate, especially for those aspiring to the throne. A capable and loyal subordinate is undoubtedly desirable.

Moreover, through today's battle, his knightly power was also demonstrated in an appropriate manner.

After several months, Adir had already condensed his battle aura wings, reaching the standard of a titled knight.

However, under normal circumstances, this situation is not easy to talk about.

After all, reaching the level of a titled knight from a Sky Knight in just a few months is an incredibly fast learning speed. It would be strange if people didn't suspect it if word got out.

However, through this battle, his promotion seemed more reasonable.

The scenario of advancing to the next level by burning one's life force in battle and miraculously surviving is undoubtedly more plausible and convincing, leaving little room for doubt.

As for his so-called burning of life, that's obviously a lie.

With his detailed understanding of the body, combined with the real-time monitoring of the chip and the concealment function of the emerald mark, it is not difficult for him to fake a burning of life force.

Although he looked miserable on the outside, he wasn't actually in much pain. In fact, if he wanted to, he could easily stand up and fight for several more hours.

Of course, in order to better demonstrate his sacrifice, he outwardly lay obediently on the ground, his body trembling slightly, as if he had used up all his strength.
