Chapter 1010 Sacred Kings vs Knights (I)
The nine Sacred Kings' soul forces were strong enough to gaze into the parallel dimension that contained the six warriors capable of Omnipotence, and the powers they saw left them baffled.
Zatiel, Nihilak, Venganza, Ravakir, Ezequiel, and Tormentras unleashed powers that vastly surpassed them. The Sacred Kings knew they would only be making a fool of themselves if they were to fly into that battlefield.
Ivar, En, Nero, Dante, Orgullo, Codicia, Issac, Salomon, and Heinz. All of them burst with fighting will and killing intent as their eyes focused on the fourteen remaining Knights.
They were not marching alone since six of the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations were by their side. The ones controlled by Pan Gu, Eve, Roku, Ira, Ragnar, and Bahamut were strong enough to be part of a battlefield full of life forms with a battle power at the Late or Peak Initial Stage.
The Beyonder's Knights were all True Rank 10 life forms, and there was disdain and mockery in their faces when they saw that most of the ones they would face were just Extreme Rank 9 life forms capable of Initial Stage battle power. In their minds, a fight like that would be no challenge at all, and they would gain victory very soon.
Despite their narcissism, there was nothing wrong with the Beyonder's Knights' way of thinking since having a battle power at the Fourth Realm and being a true Fourth Realm life form were two very different things.
The Sacred Kings could feel the disdain in their enemies' eyes, but that only made them smile. If your opponent wants to underestimate you, let him.
"BOOOOMMMMMM!"
A resounding explosion echoed as the nine Sacred Kings and six Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formation clashed with the fourteen Knights.
Even if they were only at the Initial Stage, the level of their battle would have endangered the life of both armies, so they also created their own parallel dimension where they could fight without worrying about collateral damage.
Savage smiles full of bloodlust appeared in the Knights as they unleashed ferocious attacks against the Sacred Kings and Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations.
Those attacks were incredibly powerful but also full of openings. It should not be a problem since the Knights' mastery over Truths and Eternal Flames should not be something Extreme Rank 9 could handle, no matter their battle power.
"Ahhhh!"
"Boom!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
"BOOOMM!"
Explosions and screams echoed across the battlefield, but they did not belong to the Sacred Kings. Those screams originated among the Knights.
Not only had the Sacred Kings managed to face the Knights' attacks, but took advantage of their openings to perform devastating counters!
Shock and confusion appeared in the Beyonder's Knights as they saw the powers of the Sacred Kings. It was not just their energy level but the forces they controlled the ones that defy logic since they were beyond the realm of domain of Third Realm life forms.
The Knights could understand it if it were just En and Ivar since both were Fourth Realm life forms, but all nine Sacred Kings displayed powers at that level.
What the Knights did not know was that each of the Sacred Kings trained inheritances that harnessed Fourth Realm's forces, and their treasures were of such high quality that some used the bodies and souls of Fourth Realm's life forms as raw materials.
Although the Knights suffered for their arrogance, none of their wounds diminished their battle strength. A sharp light appeared in their eyes as they pushed their bodies and souls to their peak before flashing back into the fray, and they would not make the same mistake again.
The Sacred Kings and Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formations did not just wait and flashed toward the Knights full of killing intent.
"BOOOOMMMMMMM!"
"BOOOMMMM!"
"CRACK!"
fought everybody.
Order slowly replaced the chaos as everybody began to find their "ZNNNNNN!"
Explosions, space-time shattering, and cuts in the fabric of reality appeared on the battlefield between the Sacred Kings, Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formation, and the Knights.
There was no order or anything resembling that for the first few minutes of yhe fight, becoming a battle royale where everybody fought everybody.
Order slowly replaced the chaos as everybody began to find their opponent, someone only they had the power to content without losing ground or exposing their weaknesses.
A one-on-one battle formed between nearly all warriors except for one fight that involved Orgullo, Codicia, and the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formation controlled by Ira.
The three Sunderd Night Depravitas were facing only two enemies, but no one found it unfair since those were not only members of the Sky Demon Race but also two of the top three strongest Knights present in this parallel dimension.
One of the Knights was a man with a white body, white cloak, and black horns emerging from his head and elbows. A dark flame emerged from his eyes as he constantly unleashed black suns toward the Depravitas.
"I, Necrothorn, the Caller of Annihilation, order you to burn."
The other Knight resembled a much more disturbing entity. She was a humanoid monster with three melted faces, ten deformed arms, and tentacles emerging from her waist.
Everything around her fell into a state of chaos, making the illusion she had the power to generate storms that could flood the Emptiness.
"Insignificant beings that lost their way, your end is here. I, Dreadmourne, the Herald of Demise, will bring you to the world without life."
Orgullo used the Voidheart Cloak to block those dark suns, draining their energy and stopping them from explosions, destroying everything.
Codicia was busy with the other Knight, using the power of his Dreamweaver Castle to generate physical illusions that could stop the advance of the tornadoes and tsunamis coming his way.
Tornados, tsunamis, and even real suns would not be enough to harm the bodies of the Depravita of Pride and Depravita of Greed, but those attacks were just physical manifestations.
The Knights were using the power of their Eternal Flames to give birth to those phenomena, and their intent was not just immensely powerful but also full of corruption.
Orgullo and Codicia could only defend against the attacks, but luckily they were not alone.
A giant whale with wings dived down on the two Knights. Its entire body was burning with bright red flames that grew stronger by the second.
Ira might not be a Sacred King, but he had already gained a high-level domain over the Eternal Flame of Wrath. Hence, the power he could unleash by channeling his strength through the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formation was more than enough to force the Knight to stop their barrage.
Necrothorn and Deadmourne were extremely powerful, but the physical might of the winged whale and the destructive power of red flames was not something they could ignore, so they were forced to stop their attacks and fly away.
Although the duo was able to dodge the Samsara Astra Magicae Codex's formation's dive without a problem, they had to take the defensive stance as Orgullo and Codicia took the chance to unleash their strongest spells.
"BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!"
Salomon glanced to the side as he saw the massive explosion generated by the combined attacks of Orgullo and Codicia.
"Where do you think you are looking?"
A cold voice forced the Sacred King of Unity to focus ahead as an immense arc of white sword light came crashing at him. He raised his staff, instantly unleashing a burst of energy that gave birth to a dragon shield.
"CRACK!"
The shield blocked the arc of sword light, but it shattered once the Knight blasted through it.
Salomon saw the sword flashing at his neck, but he could parry it before attacking.
A sharp light appeared in the Knight's eyes as he saw Salomon's sword about to cut his chest. A book appeared on his left hand, generating a plasma mantle, protecting his body from the attack, but it still sent him flying away.
In less than a second, the Knight regained control over his body and stared at Salomon with crazy battle intent.
"Hahaha, how long has it been since I had a good battle? I, Voidscar, the Agent of Obliteration, thank you for this gift. As a reward, I will bring your head around my neck so everybody can see the warrior you once were."
Voidscar laughed as he uttered those words and flashed toward Salomon with a sword in his right hand and a book in the left.
Salomon tightened the grip around his sword and staff. His eyes were also burning with fighting spirit since it had been the first time he faced such a powerful enemy in nearly one hundred thousand years.
Even at this moment, the Sacred King of Unity was looking for a way into the Fourth Realm, and there was no better flame to temper himself than fighting an enemy that forced him to break his limit or die.
"BOOOMMMM!"
"SHHHHHH!"
The explosion of spells and the sound of space-time sundering under the might of swords echoed across the battlefield as Salomon and Voidscar clashed over and over again.
