Chapter 574 Chapter547-The Final Battle with Flame Knight
After swiftly sealing Kingserp, John immediately launched an attack on Flame Knight.
He was acutely aware that he needed to quickly neutralize Flame Knight, a formidable Devil, to prevent any further complications.
This urgency stemmed from his incomplete victory over Corruptor, who was still lurking not far from the walls of Storm City.
If he failed to defeat Flame Knight promptly, the two Devils might join forces, leading to an even greater threat.
John once again harnessed the power of the Book of the Astral Realm.
With the aid of this mystical tome, he managed to entirely seal off the Duke Arsena's palace, ensuring that the battle would not spill over and cause significant damage to the surrounding area.
This precaution was crucial as members of other Order Factions were present around the Duke Arsena's palace, assisting in clearing the demons brought forth by Flame Knight.
John's primary goal was to ensure that Flame Knight's abilities were contained within the battle area, to prevent harm to the Order Faction members and the vicinity of the palace.
Having made all the necessary preparations, John finally drew his most powerful weapon, the Water Sword, which had been blessed by the Sea God.
The Water Sword radiated a shimmering blue light, and even without John wielding it for direct attacks, it constantly generated a multitude of water elements around it.
These water elements had the capacity to significantly affect the surrounding environment, at the very least, they could greatly diminish the potency of the demonic flame abilities used by Flame Knight.
"You've come here, and I assure you, you won't be leaving easily! I will make you realize that any demon that dares to enter Storm City, no matter how high their rank or how formidable their power, will ultimately be vanquished!"
John's tone was resolute, serving not only to pressure Flame Knight but also as a reminder to himself of the commitment he had made to protect the city.
In the ensuing battle, John knew he had to exert his utmost effort.
After declaring his determination, he charged towards Flame Knight with the Water Sword in hand.
As he sprinted towards Flame Knight, John unleashed two god-tier water element spells, which significantly amplified the power of the Water Sword.
Surrounded by a torrent of water elements, John transformed into a massive wave of water energy, a sight that would be all that was visible to any onlooker of the battle.
Flame Knight, not one to simply await his demise, reacted promptly. His twelve eyes emitted a green glow as he conjured a wall of demonic flames in front of him, confident it could withstand John's assault.
However, the subsequent turn of events would prove that Flame Knight had greatly underestimated John's strength.
The blue wave that John transformed into effortlessly shattered the devil flame wall conjured by Flame Knight.
Although the flame wall consumed some of the water element's power that John wielded, the remaining force of the water elements was still formidable.
Even a Devil would have to pay a steep price when faced with such a potent attack.
In this critical moment, Flame Knight opted for a desperate measure by summoning a demonic circle at his feet.
Through the power of this circle, he was instantly teleported to another location, narrowly escaping John's onslaught.
However, John was not disheartened by this turn of events.
He understood that defeating a Devil like Flame Knight, even with all his might, was not going to be a swift victory.
"Do you really think that my previous attack was the strongest I could muster? You are far too naive. I haven't even unleashed my most powerful skill yet!"
John proclaimed, thrusting the Water Sword into the ground.
Instantly, the floor of Duke Arsena's palace transformed into an expansive sea.
John swiftly submerged into this artificial ocean, and despite Flame Knight's attempts to avoid a similar fate using his array of demonic spells, he ultimately failed to escape and plunged into the sea conjured by the Water Sword.
Within this vast body of water, John could feel an immense surge of water element power.
"Oh, great Ocean God! I seek your aid now! Grant me the strength I need! Let me vanquish your foes!"
Upon entering the sea, John began to pray directly to the Sea God, confident that his prayers would be heard.
For the first time, Flame Knight felt a profound sense of danger.
He knew all too well that if the Sea God were to assist John, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in the ensuing battle.
In response, Flame Knight once again gathered all his dark power, concentrating it intensely.
The seawater around him was corrupted by this formidable dark force, allowing him to retreat into a chasm formed by his dark power.
Within this abyss, he could ensure his safety from John's direct attacks and buy time to seek a way out of his predicament.
Battling John, who was blessed by the Sea God, in the midst of the ocean posed a significant risk for a Devil like him.
John remained unaffected by Flame Knight's maneuvers and did not resort to any other actions; he continued his prayers to the Sea God.
His prayers were eventually answered, as he heard the Sea God's voice in his mind: "I will grant you the strength you need. Use the power I bestow upon you to eradicate all demons!"
With the Sea God's voice echoing in his mind, John felt his body brimming with the power of water elements.
Now, within the ocean, he was ready to face any formidable adversary.
Blessed by the Sea God, John opened his eyes to reveal they had turned blue, signifying his complete transformation into a devotee of the Sea God.
This immense power of the water element even induced physical changes in John's body.
Without any hesitation, he moved towards the dark waters where Flame Knight had retreated.
With the Sea God's blessing enhancing his agility, John swiftly reached the vicinity of the abyss created by Flame Knight's dark power in almost an instant.
"Do you really think such tactics could halt my actions? I will show you that your efforts are in vain!"
John declared, his voice seething with anger.
Clenching his left hand into a fist, he forcefully struck the abyss formed by the dark power, demonstrating his resolve and the overwhelming might granted to him by the Sea God.
Empowered by the formidable water element, John's attack successfully tore through the abyss created by the dark power, leaving it utterly shattered.
Flame Knight was astounded by this turn of events.
He had not anticipated being driven into such a dire situation by John.
However, as a Devil, Flame Knight had weathered many storms and faced adversaries of strength comparable to John's.
Despite John's power surpassing his expectations, Flame Knight had battled against similarly formidable foes before.
Under immense pressure, Flame Knight conjured four additional heads beside his own, totaling five heads with sixty eyes.
These eyes simultaneously emitted a green glow, and powerful devil flames appeared in the water.
However, these flames did not advance towards John. Instead, upon their emergence, they encircled Flame Knight, ultimately forming a teleportation circle.
With the aid of his potent dark power, Flame Knight finally escaped from the sea.
However, he couldn't leave the Duke Arsena's palace due to the seal that John had previously set at the entrance, a seal linked to the Book of the Astral Realm.
Breaking through this seal would require some time.
Determined not to waste a moment, Flame Knight, upon returning to the confines of Duke Arsena's palace, began to swiftly work on breaking the seal at the entrance.
Simultaneously, John emerged from the ocean back into the palace.
Now, not only had his eyes turned blue, but his entire being was also enveloped in a blue luminescence.
The power of the water element he possessed had become so immense that if the Naga Queen were to see him in this state, she might mistake him for an incarnation of the Sea God himself, for only the Sea God could wield such formidable power over the water element.
