Feeling the death threat brush past his side, Chen Luo's mind raced.
The more he explored power, the more Chen Luo understood.
The essence of strength was purity!
The stronger one became, the more they returned to simplicity, with the ultimate battle reverting to a confrontation of speed and strength.
Take the Mourning Knights before him, for instance. Since their appearance, their true offensive move had been singular:
Charge!
Charge!
An endless charge!
And as the charge commenced, their speed and strength continued to increase!
If he continued to dodge like this, the end result would be being smashed into dust by the charging knights.
With this thought, a peculiar light flickered in his dark golden eyes.
When had he started dodging the attacks of monsters?
Was he afraid?
*Hum!*
The terrifying charge once again swept past Chen Luo's side. Even a mere gust of wind grazing his cheek left a shallow bloodstain.
Blood flowed from his cheek, dripping into Chen Luo's mouth.
The rusty, metallic taste of blood ignited a fire in Chen Luo's eyes.
Since entering the apocalypse, his path had not been one of evasion!
No evasion!
Face them head-on!
Bend, but never break!
This was his path!
Only by approaching death, by facing the violence of a powerful enemy directly, could he maximize his potential!
*Hum!!*
The charging knights seemed to transform into a streak of black light. Each time they pierced through Chen Luo's afterimage, they would rapidly charge ten thousand meters away.
But this ten-thousand-meter distance was instantly covered by the knights as they turned around.
This time, however, Chen Luo faced the charging monsters without any intention of dodging.
"Come!"
"Fight!"
Within the black light, the soul fire in the Scarlet Knight's eyes flickered slightly. This human seemed different?
The thought had barely surfaced before the Scarlet Knight dismissed it.
This human, achieving the Purgatory limit in such a short time, was already a significant anomaly.
Indeed, if it weren't for his greed triggering the system's challenge, his undead brethren wouldn't have received such a powerful sublimation.
But at the end of greed lay only death.
In the face of the Apocalypse Game, all things were illusory!
Human, I shall grant you eternal death!
His thoughts raced. The Scarlet Knight tightened his grip on the reins, and the charge, channeling the power of the Mourning Knights, accelerated further!
The full charge of a hundred Mourning Knights, after multiple accelerations, had transformed into a black light deeper than the night.
Wherever the black light passed, the atmospheric sonic barrier, just forming, was directly pierced. The terrifying power made it impossible to imagine what could possibly resist it!
Facing this roaring black legion, the golden light in Chen Luo's eyes blazed even brighter. Powerful mental energy surged from within him, almost materializing as it rushed into the void!
In a single thought, a myriad of techniques manifested!
*Boom!!!*
The sky was shattered by a colossal cyan fist that appeared out of nowhere! The giant fist was a hundred meters large!
From the moment it appeared in the sky, it descended like a meteor, directly towards the charging knights!
This was the special Bronze Fist formed by the super-fusion of over a thousand Mage Hands.
Even though the Mage Hand was still S-class at this point, the sheer accumulation of power allowed this giant fist to faintly touch another realm!
The giant fist, carrying a terrifying momentum, generated flames of crimson red as it swung through the air due to the intense friction.
This time, the hundred-meter-sized giant fist was not shattered by the charging momentum of the knights!
As the giant fist was about to collide head-on with the charging knights, the soul fire in the Scarlet Knight's eye sockets fluctuated violently:
"Useless!!!"
The Scarlet Knight swung his knight's sword fiercely, and the black light formed by the charge instantly became three parts sharper!
Under the oppressive aura, before contact was even made, faint cracks began to appear on the massive bronze giant fist!
The bronze giant fist was on the verge of shattering once again!
But a clear voice echoed in the direction of the knights' charge:
"Magic Combination! Starfire Blast Fist!"
*Whoosh!*
In front of the bronze giant fist, the faint fiery hues that had appeared due to high-speed friction suddenly ignited with Chen Luo's words.
The void shimmered, and the power of the S-class Starfire spell flowed from the void.
Golden flames, accompanying the flowing fire, completely ignited the bronze giant fist!
The colossal fist, burning with Starfire, finally ceased to dissipate and crack!
Within the flames, the fist's edge even became more condensed!
Seeing the change in the giant fist, the Scarlet Knight spoke no further, merely tightening his grip on his knight's sword.
A magic combination?
Heh! Human mage, not bad!
But! The knights' charge!
Is not so fragile!!
*Boom!!!*
The black stream of light, formed by the charge, collided with the giant fist burning with golden flames.
Amidst the deafening roar, endless golden flames scattered across the entire sky.
That was the Starfire-ignited giant fist, which exploded into countless scattered sparks of Starfire upon collision.
In contrast, the charging knights, after the head-on collision, had their speed reduced by only an imperceptible degree.
And this slight reduction in speed was compensated for in the very next moment of the charge!
A flicker of arrogance flashed in the Scarlet Knight's eyes.
Foolish human! You are not bad!
But before the great undead race, you are merely a slightly larger ant!
Under the charge of the knights, turn to dust!!
The triumphant leader of the Mourning Knights raised his head to look at the human mage, wanting to witness the despair on the face of this spell-wielding human!
But the human ten thousand meters away, in his dark golden eyes,
Flashed
only battle intent devoid of fear!
As the Scarlet Knight paused slightly, amidst the fluctuating void, Chen Luo's voice echoed again:
"Bones! Let's see who's harder, you or my magic!"
"Starfire Blast Fist!!"
The void that constructed the spell was instantly shattered by terrifying power.
In the real sky, following Chen Luo's words, hundred-meter-sized fiery giant fists were continuously swung towards the charging knights!
*Boom!*
*Boom!!*
*Boom!!!*
Every instant, a giant fist burning with Starfire was thrown from the direction of the knights' charge!
Amidst the continuous roars, every second, a massive Starfire fist was shattered in collision with the knights.
The shattered giant fists, their remaining light not even having time to dissipate, had new fragments of light scattering across the entire sky.
The night, illuminated by the blood moon, had been set ablaze by the light of Starfire!
When the thick, lead-grey clouds dispersed, the sky over Donghai City was as bright as day!
The light in Chen Luo's eyes was unprecedentedly fervent!
With the S-class Eagle Eye technique and the S-class Demonic Eye talent superimposed, each punch struck precisely at the minute weak points of the charging momentum!
Ten consecutive hits!
Thirty consecutive hits!
Seventy consecutive hits!
One hundred consecutive hits!!
"Let's see if you crash into me first, or if I blast you into ashes first!!!"
