Chapter 406: Confrontation
Chapter 406: Confrontation
Hmm?
Karl's expression turned to one of surprise.
Of course, he was well aware of the strength of Tak, the Thunder Lance, who had spent his entire life on the battlefield.
However, he had not expected him to be this powerful.
"You are the only Fifth Rank Knight I've ever seen. Truly a being capable of challenging the gods," Karl acknowledged.
"But..."
"I am a Wizard!"
Wizards never lacked in methods to counter their enemies.
As he muttered under his breath, Karl's movements were swift and precise.
His spiritual sea shimmered with vibrant light, as countless spell circuits frantically spun, and he began to materialize illusions.
Great Weakening Spell!
Divine Eye!
Void Confinement Spell!
Flame Breath...
...
Instantly.
Dozens, even hundreds of powerful spells erupted from Karl, forming a tidal wave that engulfed the approaching figure.
"Boom!"
"Rumble, rumble..."
Various Seventh Circle Wizard spells clashed in the air, and the terrifying energy fluctuations seemed capable of effortlessly destroying a star.
Before this power, the strength of a mortal was as insignificant as dust.
Karl stood in mid-air, his staff gently waving, and countless rays of light burst forth one after another.
He was like a divine being!
He embodied the paths of the gods, wizards, and knights, and had reached the pinnacle of the Fifth Tier in each path.
His foundation was far deeper than Tak's.
As he cast his spells, his vast spiritual power transformed into energy capable of influencing the world, surging forth.
'Not just a mountain, I could easily tear apart a planet, let alone a mere human,' Karl thought.
'Tak...'
'Wizards are known for being the strongest within their tier, and my abilities far surpass those of a typical Seventh Circle Wizard.'
'What can you do to resist?'
"Clang!"
The ringing sound echoed once more.
Tak, holding his spear, shifted his stance, and the space around him suddenly distorted, like a black hole swallowing everything in its path. The numerous incoming attacks were instantly devoured and vanished without a trace.
Then,
Spear thrust!
"Whoosh!"
In the void, devoid of form, color, and substance, a blinding ray of light appeared, dazzling and pure.
Tak, holding his spear, stood motionless, the spearhead pointing diagonally, his expressionless face resembling a sculpture.
Indifferent, cold, and deadly...
In just an instant.
Cracks appeared in the space that separated Karl from the real world.
'Impressive!'
'He can actually refine my spells into his spear, enhancing his attack power. Remarkable.'
Karl was filled with admiration, and his face turned solemn as he raised his staff and pointed it forward once more.
'Fire!'
The flame that devoured all reappeared.
Behind him, a nine-headed dragon raised its neck and lifted its head high, then exhaled a dense, fiery breath.
Forbidden Spell - World Devouring Flame!
This was Karl's unique spell, a result of his enlightenment after absorbing and refining numerous divine flames.
In theory,
There was no limit to this spell's power.
"Boom!"
Two torrents of raging energy collided in the air, causing the laws of the void plane to crumble instantly, leaving only two figures standing across from each other.
"Wizardry!"
Tak exclaimed,
"Indeed, it's formidable."
Accompanying his voice were streaks of light crisscrossing the sky and the relentless charge of the spear.
In just a moment, it seemed as though Tak had unleashed a million spear thrusts, causing the surrounding barrier to crumble.
Karl took a step back, waving his staff once more.
He unleashed a plethora of spells, each possessing immense destructive power.
However,
In the face of Tak's spear, they were all in vain.
"Twist, assimilate, borrow..."
Karl nodded slightly:
"Impressive spear technique!"
The opponent's battle skill was incredibly powerful, but once its principles were understood, there would be corresponding wizardry to counter it.
"A direct assault on the mind, a secret art to weaken physical attacks..."
"Peng!"
Tak took a step back.
The two had unknowingly arrived at the Celestial Plane corresponding to the Eastern Kingdom Continent, and they could even sense the distant gazes of the Foreign Deities upon them.
The Foreign Deities had spotted them.
"Lei!"
"Break!"
Tak charged forward with his spear, and a flash of thunder appeared, causing Karl's figure to halt involuntarily.
Thunder!
In his line of sight, perception, and prediction, the heavens and the void seemed to contain nothing else but the brilliance of thunder.
The opponent's attack was so powerful that it distorted his senses, even affecting his calculations of the past and future.
"Law Barrier!"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Four Elemental Forces!"
Earth, fire, wind, and water rose from nothingness, forming a virtual world that blocked the path of the thunder.
This was Karl's most powerful wizardry, a Seventh Circle spell.
Only those who had mastered the four elements could wield such power.
That was...
The realm of Seventh Circle Wizards and Archgods.
"Boom!"
"Rumble..."
The two clashed furiously, their energy ripples reverberating through the void, almost breaking through the gods' restraints.
Karl transformed into countless illusions and clones, flashing wildly within a million-kilometer range, casting various spells.
The intensity of the assault was breathtaking.
And Tak,
Holding his spear as if defying the rules of the world, each thrust and poke seemed capable of flattening everything in its path.
"Peng!"
The offensive clashed once more.
Karl retreated, while Tak roared towards the sky, spear raised.
In terms of strength,
Tak was far weaker than Karl.
In terms of experience,
Karl was far more seasoned.
But despite this, their battle remained evenly matched, and at times, Tak even held the upper hand.
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, Karl's staff shattered in his hand, and he formed hand seals, summoning a massive Buddha illusion behind him.
Mind Buddha Palm!
The Buddha loomed as large as a star, its hands forming intricate seals, eyes filled with anger, pressing down upon the void.
"Boom!"
The palm strike clashed with the spear.
The point of contact erupted with blinding light, illuminating a face devoid of expression yet brimming with determination.
"Fifth Rank Knight!"
Tak let out a sky-shattering roar:
"Excellent! I've lived for over two thousand years and fought countless battles, yet you are the first Fifth Rank Knight I've encountered."
"Come!"
"Receive my Thunderfall Lance Technique!"
Ninefold Thunder Tribulation!
Tak's eyes gleamed with thunder, his entire being resembling a divine being bathed in thunder, as his powerful battle aura surged forth.
The next instant,
A battle aura far surpassing Tak's erupted from Karl's body.
The gap between the two was like that of a giant and an infant, they were simply not on the same level.
Clearly,
Karl was the giant.
Mind Buddha Palm - Wrathful Lotus Technique!
With a swift movement of his hands, Karl closed in on his opponent, his lotus battle aura blooming like flames.
His palm techniques were incredibly versatile, and his inner strength and battle aura were at the pinnacle of a Fifth Rank Knight.
Each strike
was executed with full force yet allowed for room to maneuver.
Unlike before,
when using wizardry, he could maintain a distance and cast spells, and even if there was danger, he had space to retreat. But now, in close combat, every move was perilous.
"Peng!"
"Clang..."
The two figures crossed paths in the void, each flash leaving behind a residual image over a hundred li long.
The calm Celestial Plane was stirred into ripples.
Yet, Karl
still couldn't gain the upper hand.
