Chapter 115: No More Games
Hamilton's heart sank as he realized the dire situation.
Rain had cultivated the Bear Breath Technique, and even after reaching the Extraordinary realm, he was a Power Knight. Facing a Speed Knight of far superior strength, he was undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
If the roles were reversed, the fight might have been more evenly matched.
After all, it wasn't uncommon for a cautious Speed Knight novice to dodge a few attacks from an experienced Power Knight.
Rain's expression remained calm as he faced Karavi's next assault, unleashing a ferocious Cyclone Slash.
Karavi gracefully leaped high into the air, aiming for Rain's head, and swiftly crossed his dual swords in a classic Knight technique—the Cross Slash!
A chilling cross of light flashed before Rain's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Rain fearlessly countered with his Radiant Greatsword, delivering a powerful strike.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew in all directions.
The jarring clatter of metal on metal echoed through the air.
Karavi, still airborne, executed a swift 360-degree spin, deflecting the intense clash of power.
Rain, however, remained unmoved and did not pursue.
Logically, an opponent in mid-air should have been an easy target to attack.
2. The Night Watch members wondered why Rain didn't pursue, but Mateo noticed that Rain's feet had sunk into the ground by over ten centimeters.
3. The Night Watch members were stunned by this display of strength.
4. They had tried stomping with all their might, but the ground only kicked up a little dust, leaving barely visible footprints.
5. No wonder Rain didn't pursue; he was also dealing with the recoil.
6. "Whoosh!"
7. Karavi landed, and in an instant, he charged towards Rain like an arrow released from a bowstring, his dual swords stabbing at Rain with incredible speed.
8. "Sssss!"
9. The sharp sound of piercing the air rang out.
10. Rain's pupils constricted as he hastily blocked with his Radiant Greatsword.
11. "Clang, clang, clang, ding!"
12. Karavi's sword speed was incredibly fast, and even with Rain's Extraordinary power, he couldn't completely defend against all attacks.
13. One of Karavi's stabs landed heavily on Rain's plate armor, emitting a clear ding.
14. Upon closer inspection, a small dent was visible on Rain's chest plate.
15. Clearly, Karavi's swords weren't ordinary steel weapons; they likely contained rare metals like Rain's Radiant Greatsword, explaining their exceptional power.
16. Gordon, witnessing this, couldn't help but nod and smile.
17. "Hehe, he won't be so lucky with the next strike."
18. "Karavi hasn't even shown his true strength yet, and this lucky guy is already struggling to defend!"
19. Hamilton was now considering stopping this 'unfair' sparring match.
20. However, just as he was about to speak, Colonel Connor, standing beside him, held him back, saying, "Wait, let's see how it plays out."
21. Hamilton was taken aback, but upon closer inspection, he realized that Rain was remarkably composed, not appearing to be forcing himself.
22. So, he decided to continue watching.
23. Rain, on the other hand, silently added a point to his Agility attribute, as Karavi's speed was a bit too much for him. He didn't want to reveal his Extraordinary trait, 'Iron Skin,' just yet, so he needed to match Karavi's attack rhythm as much as possible.
24. Rain's Agility attribute instantly jumped from 14 to 15 points, and his fatigue vanished, restoring him to peak condition.
25. Karavi, with a slight bend of his knee, charged at Rain again with his dual swords, even faster than before.
26. Rain decided to test Karavi's Knight Extraordinary trait, 'Mighty Strength Level 1,' with his own.
27. Instantly, Rain's muscles bulged slightly.
28. Karavi, seeing this, couldn't help but smile behind his plate helmet. He was too young and inexperienced! To use his Extraordinary trait, 'Mighty Strength,' so quickly. But what good was strength if he couldn't land a hit?
29. As Karavi planned to quickly circle behind Rain to attack, Rain unleashed a Cyclone Slash with astonishing speed, catching Karavi off guard.
30. Karavi had no choice but to brace himself and take the full force of Rain's 'Mighty Strength Level 1' enhanced Cyclone Slash.
31. "Clang!"
32. Karavi crossed his swords, firmly blocking Rain's mighty blow.
33. He, too, had activated his Limit Break, and his body beneath the plate armor had slightly swollen.
34. However, since his Knight Breath Technique wasn't power-oriented, even as a Veteran Knight, he couldn't gain much advantage in a direct clash with Rain.
35. Rain glanced at his data, noticing that his strength had increased from 15 to 19.5, clearly the effect of the Extraordinary trait, 'Mighty Strength Level 1.'
Rain increased his strength by 30%, which was still far from the boost provided by Power Surge.
He wasn't sure if the effects would stack, but now was the perfect opportunity to test it.
Rain activated 10% of his Power Surge, and his strength value jumped once more, reaching 21 points.
21 points of strength caused Calavi's hands to tremble as he held the Radiant Greatsword, which was now pressing down on his Knight's Plate Armor. Clearly, Rain's strength at this level was becoming too much for Calavi to withstand.
"Haa!" Rain further intensified his Power Surge!
This time, Calavi could no longer hold on. He was knocked back as if charged by a wild boar, and his entire body flew towards the wall on one side of the training ground at an even faster speed than before.
Along the way, he smashed through archery targets, wooden chairs, and sword racks, reducing them to splinters. Finally, with a loud 'Bang,' his entire body slammed into the wall!
A circular ripple and a large dent formed on the wall from the point of impact.
Fortunately, the wall was of good quality; otherwise, Calavi would have surely broken through it!
On the ground, two clear furrows could be seen, not very deep but still noticeable, left by Calavi's impact.
"Impressive! Rain must have become a Ranked Knight!"
"Rain had said he wasn't a knight before, but now it's clear he's a Ranked Knight! I knew it; that's why he was so calm when facing that Black Flame Adept earlier." Mateo suddenly realized something and exclaimed.
"Yes! Yes! No wonder Rain could use that body-swelling ability; it must be a knight's special skill! It's so powerful!" Another Night Watchman chimed in.
".
Gordon couldn't help but twitch his mouth at this, his expression turning sour. In his opinion, dealing with this 'lucky guy' should have been an easy task.
But now, the situation had become so 'complicated,' which made Gordon feel annoyed. He shouted from the side, "Calavi, stop playing around!"
This caused the originally excited and happy Night Watchmen to look at each other, thinking to themselves, 'Is he still fine after all this?'
What happened next left them all stunned.
Calavi slowly pulled himself out of the wall.
He twisted his neck, there was no cracking sound, only the friction between his plate helmet and chest armor, which further proved the defense of the 'Iron Can' armor.
Rain, facing such a resilient Calavi, didn't feel too afraid. Instead, he felt a hint of excitement.
He had just been promoted to Knight, and now he had an opponent to test his strength against—it was like having a pillow delivered to him while he was dozing off.
"Swoosh!"
Calavi's figure suddenly increased in speed, appearing a few meters in front of Rain.
This left the watching Night Watchmen completely unable to see Calavi's attack.
"Superhuman Agility?" Rain's expression turned serious. This Calavi's speed was so fast that it almost reached the limit of what the human eye could perceive.
In that case, there was no other choice but to use this move!
Rain's chest suddenly bulged, and his slightly loose Knight's Breastplate almost burst. The muscles and veins on his neck thickened by an entire circle.
"Haa!!!"
A deafening roar sounded in Calavi's ears!
Instantly, Calavi's entire body momentarily froze.
Seizing the momentary pause, Rain unleashed a furious slash, sending Calavi flying once more. This time, Rain utilized his Superhuman Trait, 'Mighty Strength,' along with 50% of his 'Power Surge.'
The stacked effects of this strike directly stunned Calavi!
The immense power of this strike almost tore open his chest armor.
"Bang!"
Calavi flew out like a cannonball, hitting the same wall indentation again. But this time, the already damaged wall couldn't withstand the impact, and Calavi broke through it, flying out into the street!
Everyone in the training ground stared in shock at this scene.
The situation had reversed so quickly!
Most people hadn't reacted yet.
"Cough It seems Rain has won. Young Master Gordon, the farce can end now, right?" At this moment, Colonel Connor coughed and spoke to Gordon.
Gordon, squeezed by Connor's words, couldn't say a single word, only managing a heavy 'Hmm,' before turning and walking away.
The Night Watchmen, who had been excited and cheering, immediately shouted, "Well done, Rain!"
"Rain, should we now address you as Sir Knight?"
".
At this moment, Hamilton, who had also been in shock, seemed to realize something. He turned and said to Rain seriously, "Rain, there's something important you should prepare for."
