Ark Undead

The Steam Knight's chest reactor accelerated its operation, causing the Originium solution stored throughout his body to rush into the engine in his chest. The high temperature emitted by the engine, guided by a special cooling device, condensed the moisture in the air and expelled it as steam.

That's why this armor is called steam armor!

In an instant, a cold light flashed.

A sword shadow flashed between the two, the cold light condensed at the tip of the sword forming a straight line.

fast!

This was the only thought on the Undead's mind at that moment; he hadn't experienced this level of skill competition in a long time.

It's not a collision of energies, but a simple contest of speed and power!

The sword tip penetrated deep into the undead's greatsword, and the force it carried almost knocked the undead back a step!

The undead gripped the hilt of the greatsword tightly, and he shifted all his strength to the right.

The Steam Knight, however, quickly retracted his longsword and unleashed a powerful downward slash!

Ding!

Another loud bang, the greatsword was held horizontally above his head, and the blade was blocked before the steam knight could exert his strength!

Despite the incredible strength, the Undead was no pushover either. His greatsword perfectly blocked all the force, and at this moment, the Steam Knight was completely exposed from the chest down to the Undead's eyes!

The Undead raised his left foot and kicked forward, slamming it into the Steam Knight's left gauntlet, which was retracted to his lower abdomen!

boom!

The leg armor made of steel armor pressed against the gauntlet module of the steel armor, producing a huge echo!

The Steam Knight stood still, silently enduring the Undead's entire kick!

Just as the kick was about to land, the steam knight's chest vent opened, and several puffs of white steam emerged from the dark opening and spread outwards.

At that moment, the Steam Knight retracted his right-hand longsword and swiftly thrust it toward the Undead's lower abdomen!

The Undead sidestepped, dodging the extremely fast thrust. His right hand slid down on the greatsword, while his left hand pressed down on the broad blade.

Using the entire blade as a shield, the Undead stepped forward with his left foot, braced his hands on the greatsword, and pushed forward with tremendous force!

Boom!

The sword struck the steam knight's shoulder armor with a dull thud, like the ringing of a bell, forcing the steam knight back two steps.

The steam knight was greatly alarmed.

Despite being pursued, the Undead only had time to launch two effective counterattacks.

However, it took a single kick to accelerate the operation of his reactor to block it, and the second sword-wielding ramming caused him to lose his balance, which was already in a fighting state, and he was forced to retreat.

You know, I was only able to do this because of the power of my steam armor, so how did he manage it?!

Is this man a monster?!

Seeing the Steam Knight retreat, the Undead was about to raise his greatsword and take another step forward to strike!

But the shoulder armor of the retreating steam knight suddenly unfolded.

On the unfolded armor, flames exploded, and a small black shadow shot forward.

The Undead hurriedly sheathed his sword and returned to defense, holding the greatsword horizontally in front of him.

Ding!

The Undead waved his hand, breaking off the miniature crossbow bolt stuck in the sword.

The steam knight in front of him took another breath, and with his right hand outstretched longsword, he thrust it toward the undead's neck!

The two used every trick in the book, attacking and defending.

Under the relentless attacks of the Steam Knights, the Undead could only rely on their heavy greatswords to parry.

The clanging sound of metal clashing could be heard continuously.

The steam knight's fist slammed into the undead's armor again, and the undead's greatsword blocked the steam knight's longsword from the front or side.

If this battle had taken place in Kazimierz, it would have been an epic clash between lightly armored knights and heavily armored knights.

The steam knight before me possessed combat skills surpassing even Bloodthorn's. His steam armor granted him even greater physical prowess.

The various armor plates protruding from the armor fired miniature crossbow bolts and exploded with sparks, destroying the defensive stances set up by the undead.

Various new methods have brought the Undead's defenses to the brink of collapse!

The Undead can block at the perfect timing, even with the opponent's extremely fast attack frequency.

After the greatsword parries, the undead always manages to seize a fleeting opportunity to strike the steam knight's armor with their fists or legs.

Steam rose, sparks flew.

Although the Undead's defenses appear to be crumbling, they always manage to hold on until the very last moment.

However, the Steam Knights' continuous attacks failed to inflict any effective damage.

The Steam Knight knew that the Undead's greatsword was not suitable for close combat, while his longsword and gauntlets were precisely what required him to get close to the Undead.

However, the Undead's defenses were as solid as a mountain. Even if he used all his means, he could only get half a step closer to the Undead at most, and could not go any further!

For a moment, it seemed as if neither side could gain the upper hand, and they were locked in a stalemate.

But only the two of them knew.

If the Undead seize the opportunity, even if it's just once, the Steam Knight will definitely be in the most unfavorable situation!

Just as the Steam Knight launched his next attack, the Undead's greatsword blocked the thrust once again.

The Steam Knight was about to charge forward with his left hand, breaking through the Undead's blockade, grabbing the Undead while it was still frozen, and pulling it into his arms.

But then they saw that the immortal's left hand, which was resting on the hilt of his sword, seemed to be glowing with a fiery red light.

Oh no!

The Steam Knight was greatly alarmed; he seemed to have forgotten a crucial piece of information during the battle!

The knight in front of me was also a master of magic, and from the start of the battle, he had never used any combat power related to magic!

This very mistake put Steam Knight in a passive position.

The Undead man rubbed his left hand against the blade.

The smooth gauntlets sparked wildly as they scraped against the cratered greatsword. At the same time, magical fire silently erupted from his left hand.

The spark seemed to come alive, and guided by the magical fire, it transformed into billowing flames that entangled the giant sword.

And in that instant, the entire giant sword seemed to come alive, and amidst the rising flames, it pushed outwards with a sudden burst of power!

Flames burst forth, blades clashed, and the greatsword, imbued with immense force and flames, slammed forward onto the longsword that the steam knight had retracted to his chest!

boom!

The Steam Knight flew backward, and while in the air, massive amounts of steam burst from the vents on his chest and back.

As white mist rose, the steam knight adjusted his posture within it, landing on all fours and regaining his balance.

The undead gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands, carrying it on his shoulders.

The deep red flames burning on the greatsword seemed to conceal countless cries of agony and misfortune.

This is not an increase brought about by simple burning flames, but by the flames of war.

It was this flame that accompanied the undead legion on its conquests.

Overlord Warnir conquered all nations and seized the crowns of all kings.

From then on, only one crown remained!

Pyromancy (Carthus's Bendfire)

"cough!"

Even the Steam Knight couldn't help but cough. The scorching heat and impact brought by the high temperature and immense force were something that even the steam armor couldn't completely withstand.

The engine, which was already operating beyond its limits, was now scalding hot, as if it had been soaked in lava.

He knew that if the battle wasn't resolved quickly, he would be the first to give up!

"sharp."

The steam knight named Flying Swallow lives up to her name, with a light and swift fighting style.

But just by being caught off guard by the undead and launching a counterattack, he was already at such a disadvantage.

But the Steam Knights were no pushovers.

Even the immortals have to admit that, if no other power is used, and only strength, speed, and skill are considered...

Using a greatsword against an enemy won't be an easy victory.

The Steam Knights truly live up to their reputation as Victoria's hidden military force; a single one possesses abilities surpassing even the Bloodthorns. What if an entire order of knights numbered in the dozens, or even hundreds?

Feiyan was only a high-ranking knight. Perhaps there were other ranks above high-ranking knights?

This is the nation's foundation, and the reason why Victoria has been able to stand strong.

"Then I'll launch the attack."

Before Feiyan could fully recover, the Undead charged forward.

He gripped the hilt of the greatsword with both hands and unleashed his full power for the first time to fight the Steam Knight!

The sword wind pressed down, and the heavy blade of the greatsword looked like a mountain above the steam knight's head!

Feiyan braced himself, feeling a bit suffocated by the overwhelming aura emanating from her.

The steam vents on its chest ejected a huge amount of steam, buying Fei Yan a little time.

He jumped backward, and the sword blade slammed into the ground right in front of him.

Boom! !

As if the earth shook, the impact was like a wave that pushed the swallow backward a step, and the scattered flames spread, just like a bomb exploding on the ground!

That wasn't a simple slash; it was a smash from a giant hammer! The force and impact were incredible! How did this guy train to achieve that?!

Fei Yan was terrified, but the attack before her was an opportunity!

At this moment, a third of the greatsword was embedded in the ground, and the biggest weakness of such a powerful attack is the accumulation of power!
