People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

If you want to kill Latan and break free from the constraints of the starry sky, then anywhere is fine, so why go there?

Isn't this unnecessary?

But after thinking for a long time and unable to come up with a reason, they chose to give up.

It was difficult for anyone to see through Reinhard's thoughts, so they chose to do what they had to do and continue to search for the place where Master Lusset was being held.

"...That's, Lord Latarn?!"

Inside the city, Jie Lian, who was in charge of guarding the city and watching, saw two meteors flying in the sky as if they were chasing each other, and he was stunned on the spot.

His eyes almost popped out.

I watched helplessly as Latarn fell into the sand dunes on the southern edge.

boom--

The ground trembled slightly, and the raised yellow sand scattered like waves. Latan stabilized his body and looked at Reinhardt who had not yet fallen in mid-air. He immediately inserted the two Star-Breaking Swords on both sides of his body and took out his black and gold lion bow.

With a "Puff!" sound, he plucked out three of the Zunfu Knight's spears from his back, placed them on the bow as arrows, and pulled the bowstring into a full moon.

Purple gravity magic like thunder was wrapped around it, and the bowstring was released the moment it aimed at Reinhardt.

whoosh-

With the help of gravity magic, three arrows shot towards Reinhardt at an extremely fast speed.

"What a ruthless man!" Reinhardt, who was still missing, couldn't help but admire.

He saw clearly the scene of Latarn drawing the spear just now. He was really cruel to him.

However, this old man Langmie seems to have no moral principles!

I originally thought that Latan was driven crazy by the Scarlet Corruption, so he launched a sneak attack with that arrow, but now it seems that is not the case.

Moreover, the power of these three arrows cannot be underestimated.

Maybe it's not shown in the game, but in fact, the power of this arrow is estimated to be able to shoot a hole in the outer city wall of King Rodel's City. Even the alien that destroyed the Eternal City - Esti would have to call him daddy when he saw it.

Not to mention him, his body couldn't withstand it at all.

However, he didn't want to resist with his body, there were other ways -

Suddenly, light blue ripples appeared on his body. The three Zunfu Knight spears, which were blessed by gravity magic, changed their flight paths and avoided Reinhardt like mice seeing a cat.

This is the Tops force field, a magic that has been kept secret since Kalia's study. He never expected to use it in a place like today.

But it's okay, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Like these troublesome arrows.

However, he did not intend to retaliate against Latarn. He immediately raised the giant hammer in his hand, and under the control of the power of the sun, it gradually changed its shape.

A magic bow appeared in his hand.

As the sky fell, he pulled the bowstring, condensed a magic arrow on it, and shot it towards Latan.

Sun Arrow Rain!

When the magic arrow reached above Latan's head, it instantly exploded into countless mini arrows that fell like a rainstorm.

ding ding ding-

The huge Star-Breaking Sword became a shelter for Latan, blocking the rain of arrows above his head.

But there were too many arrows and the range was too large to resist. Many arrows fell on Latan's huge body, and the burning and stinging pain from his body made Latan frown slightly.

"Roar--"

He swung his swords violently and roared. The deafening roar spread out waves of light purple ripples, which not only extinguished the flames on his body but also swept away the rain of arrows that had not yet fallen from the sky.

This scene made Reinhardt, who had just landed, open his eyes wide with curiosity.

He is truly worthy of being the [Star Crusher General] who has developed gravity magic to the extreme. I didn't expect that he could be used in this way. The effect is almost the same as the force field developed by Teacher Topps.

But it's also true that gravity magic originally belonged to those aliens—the White King and Esti—and it also has an inexplicable connection with Selia's forbidden magic, Eternal Darkness...

After all, the ultimate manifestation of gravity is a black hole, which can even crush and devour light.

133. The Final Blow (5.5K)

Ding Ding Ding

Dust and sand flew all over the sand dunes.

In the distant city, the Red Lion soldiers and Knight Jerryan were gathered on the city wall to watch, but they could only see two tall monsters fighting each other, and only occasionally could they make out their Lord Latan wielding two Star-Breaking Swords and slashing continuously.

From time to time, a few flashes of fire would emerge from the smoke and dust.

Beyond that, they could see nothing.

However, this still couldn't stop them from marveling at the scene. It was a pity that their poor vocabulary could only allow them to utter "how amazing", and they couldn't find any more appropriate words to describe it.

But among these people, the most surprised were Oga and the [Strange Knight] Jeremiah who was acting as the city lord. They were stunned.

"...I can actually fight General Latarn on equal terms..."

Jie Lian said that this scene would shock him for the rest of his life.

He was very familiar with how powerful General Latan was.

Because he used to be a guest knight belonging to the royal family of Kalia, and later followed Latan to Gaileed, and had been working under Latan.

He could be said to be the person who knew General Ratan's strength best besides Oga.

And he was convinced of Latan's strength.

Some even believe that he is the strongest person in the border area since the death of the eldest prince Godwin.

But now he found out that he was wrong. His mistake was so outrageous that he opened the door to something outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.

That person, in a human form, actually challenged a demigod, and even fought the strongest demigod, General Ratan, on equal terms, seemingly gaining the upper hand?!

This is unprecedented. Even the first King of Elden, the Golden Tree God of War, Gefrey, and the deceased [Gold] Godwin were no more than this, right?

Meanwhile, on the dunes.

"Knight Reinhardt, what exactly do you intend? Are you challenging me on behalf of my sister, Lani?"

Latan, who had blocked Reinhardt's casual axe, asked with a dark face.

Although he could still withstand Reinhardt's offensive, he was also very clear that Reinhardt was not showing his true strength now. It was as if his strength was restrained by something, and the restraint was being gradually untied.

This gave him a bad feeling.

I have never felt this way before.

"Well, I know you're anxious, but don't worry!"

Reinhardt swung his axe again, but was blocked by Latan again. Sparks flew and illuminated each other's faces.

In the light of the fire, Latan could clearly see the smile on Reinhardt's face.

"General Latan, you are half right. This is indeed a challenge to you, but it has nothing to do with Her Highness Lani. I am only challenging you on my own behalf."

"...There should be no direct conflict of interest between us."

"That's right, but don't forget, I'm a pyroxene magician, a disciple of the witch Seren, and my law is the law of the sun. I'm also a member of the starry sky..."

Even as they were talking, several violent collisions broke out between the two again, and the dust that had originally subsided was raised high again.

Even at the moment when he finished speaking, Reinhardt condensed some of the power of the sun on his axe and swung it down suddenly.

boom--

Latan barely avoided the attack, but it did create a crack in the sand dune.

Reinhardt picked up the axe nonchalantly and said with a smile:

"General Latarn, although I am somewhat different from ordinary pyroxene magicians, after all I've said, do you still think there's no direct conflict of interest between you and me?"

This question made Latarn slightly stunned, and then he said in a deep voice: "So, you want to untie the constraints of the starry sky?"

"Bingo, correct answer, but no reward."

Reinhardt snapped his fingers and said, "But I'm afraid it won't work this time. I don't have much time left, so in this final moment, come and fight with me!"

thump—

Reinhardt rushed into Latan's arms again, but this time he did not use an axe. Instead, he raised his fist that condensed the power of the sun and swung it.

bang——

An invisible gust of air stirred up sand and dust, and his punch was blocked by Latan, but he was also pushed back nearly five meters, and even a burning fist mark was left on one of the Star-Breaking Swords.

But Latarn didn't care at all. His dark face was full of confusion: "No time? What do you mean?"

"literal meaning!"

Reinhardt completely gave up his weapon, put the pyroxene weapon back to his waist, and changed from weapon fighting to close combat, using his body to fight against the sword. Fists fell on Latan like raindrops.

Each punch was wrapped in the scorching heat of the sun, and the full force of the punch penetrated the layers of protection on his skin and armor and smashed into Latan's body.

In response, Latarn could only defend himself and counterattack from time to time.

No matter how the outside world boasts about his strength, even if he once destroyed the stars from the starry sky, was called the strongest demigod after Godwin, and even constantly honed his body in order to follow in the footsteps of [War King] Ge Fulei, he is still the eldest son of [Full Moon Queen] Lena, just an abnormal pyroxene magician like Reinhardt.

Close combat is not his strong point.

He could defeat most creatures by relying on his physical strength, but he was struggling against an equally abnormal being like Reinhardt.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ambushed and knocked to the ground by that [Evil Omen Demon] Markit.

No one knew how long the battle, which was like a fight between dragons and tigers, lasted. All we knew was that the light of the golden tree went from shining to fading, and the scarlet Danxia sky gradually dimmed.

boom--

The heavy black iron sword collided with his fist again. Although it was a fist swung by flesh and blood, it was harder than steel.

Even the Star-Shattering Sword blessed by Latan with gravity magic only left a white mark on his fist.

Although Reinhardt was still a human being at this time, with the gradual liberation of the sun, he had already stepped half a foot into the unknown realm of God.

bang——

He threw another punch, this time hitting Latan's abdomen, and he was knocked away heavily.

Latan thrust his sword into the ground, plowing several meters before finally stopping.

At this moment, Latan no longer had the majestic demeanor of a general as before. Instead, he looked like a barbarian. One of the two big horns on his helmet was broken, and the demigod armor on his body had become tattered and covered with scars. Blood was slowly flowing from the hideous wounds.

The tattered red cloak and long hair as bright red as flames fluttered in the wind.

But the fighting spirit in those golden pupils did not diminish in the slightest.

He didn't know how many years it had been since he had used his full strength. He remembered that the last time was when he was helping Ceria deal with the stars falling from the sky and sealing the starry sky at the border.

Not even the war on the Yatan Plateau, nor Marenia's drive for scarlet corruption, had ever pushed him to this extent.

But now, the knight in front of him, a knight he was familiar with, who served his sister, the Moon Princess Lani, had forced him into such a predicament.

But Reinhardt was not unharmed either. His bulging and knotted muscles were dyed bloody, as if they were cast from molten iron.

There was his own blood on it, as well as Latan's, as if it had just crawled out of the blood.

"Knight Reinhardt, your strength is undeniable. I never thought I would meet an opponent like you in my lifetime..."

Latan was very excited, really very excited. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling with the high fighting spirit and rushing in his veins.

After many years, that silent heart is burning again!

"Roar--"

Latan gripped his swords tightly and roared to the sky. The inhuman roar resounded throughout the sand dunes and spread into the distance.

Enormous magical power continuously surged and gathered in Latan's body, transforming into substance and wrapping around him. Even the pair of star-breaking swords were dyed the same color by the crimson-purple gravity magic that was like thunder.

The air around the two greatswords began to distort slightly.

With a loud bang, Latan raised one of the swords, leaving a deep groove on the inside which was constantly buried by quicksand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Reinhardt.

Although nothing was said, Reinhardt already understood the meaning.

Latan will use all the strength he can now to deal with me.
