Chapter 187 - 187: Ripple Divine Montenegro Mountain! (2)
He wondered how the lionheart knight used the hammer. There must be a specific hammer technique…
At the same time, Levi noticed that the Duke of Montenegro was starting to show signs of exhaustion. This was the price he had to pay for not possessing Transcendent Endurance. He had already consumed too much stamina during their previous exchange.
In contrast, Levi felt like he could keep fighting for another hundred rounds without any issues.
His hands wrapped around the black gas, and the black gas transformed into sharp blades. He constantly relied on his speed advantage to cut open insignificant wounds on the Duke of Montenegro’s body.
At that moment, Levi decided to utilize the advanced Ripple Force of the Golden Cross Slash without relying on any weapon for the first time in his life.
The mighty Ripple Force surged into Levi’s arms, manifesting on his palms.
His black gas-filled hands trembled and shook as if the energy was about to disperse at any moment.
“Break! ”
Levi struck out with his palm, colliding with the Duke of Montenegro’s attack.
Crack.
Levi could hear the sound of bones breaking within the Duke of Montenegro’s body.
The Duke of Montenegro cried out in pain and quickly distanced himself from Levi.
“What a domineering force!” the Duke of Montenegro exclaimed.
Unyielding, Levi continued his assault.
As expected, he could successfully execute the Golden Cross Slash without any weapon, and the power of this unleashed attack was even greater.
“In the future, I might as well call it the Golden Ripple Divine Palm.”
Levi continued to fight the Duke of Montenegro using the Golden Ripple Divine Palm he had just developed. Gradually, the Duke of Montenegro’s decline became more and more evident.
Conversely, Levi felt increasingly energized.
The Duke of Montenegro was shocked. He couldn’t believe that he, the invincible Duke of Montenegro, was no match for the seemingly insignificant Levi!
“This is the power of an extraordinary bloodline! I must have it! To achieve true transcendence, to master sorcery! No ambition or kingdom can compare to it, not even the Church!” The Duke of Montenegro’s madness became apparent.
His desire to uncover Levi’s secrets grew stronger and stronger.
He firmly believed that Levi’s extraordinary strength was due to his extraordinary bloodline from the four great families.
Levi looked at the Duke of Montenegro, who had gone mad and silently mourned in his heart.
“You still want to fight against the Church? Dream on.”
“Not even the four great families dare to confront the Church. The Duke of Montenegro is too conceited,” thought Levi.
The forces displayed by the mortals were merely a fraction of the Church’s true terror.
What made the Church truly terrifying was that they served as representatives of the Gods.
They must possess some hidden cards related to the Divine Power. Otherwise, why would legendary knights or legendary families fear the Church and eventually face annihilation?
Every time Levi used wizardry-related powers, he exercised extreme caution, ensuring that he was in an isolated location. He feared that if the Church discovered his abilities, they would perceive him as a threat and kill him.
The Duke of Montenegro did not care. He had just cultivated the Montenegro Mountain breathing technique to its limit, but he still struggled to fully control its power.
Each time he transformed into a 2.8-meter-tall demon form, he lost some of his sanity. The longer he remained in this state, the harder it was to return to normal.
The battle with Levi had lasted for quite some time.
In the end, both the Duke of Montenegro and Levi sustained injuries. However, Levi, equipped with the Frost Giant Armor and Black Scale Defense, only suffered minor wounds.
In contrast, the Duke of Montenegro’s meridians were shattered by Levi’s Golden Ripple Divine Palm, and his bones were crushed.
If not for his high cultivation and the protection of black gas, his body would have been torn apart by Levi’s numerous Golden Ripple Divine Palms.
Levi panted for breath. Even with his Transcendent Endurance, he was starting to feel fatigued after such an extended battle.
The Duke of Montenegro was like a puddle of mud, but he persisted and used the last of his strength to attack Levi.
In the end, Levi delivered a palm strike to the Duke of Montenegro’s chest, shattering his heart and the massive black whale residing within it.
“Phew, he’s finally dead. It wasn’t easy.” Levi sighed in relief, confirming that the Duke of Montenegro had ceased breathing. He then took a moment to catch his breath and rest.
Meanwhile, he instructed Tuten to retrieve the Duke of Montenegro’s soul. The Tuten man felt numb from consuming the souls of grand knights for the past few days.
The Duke of Montenegro was undeniably powerful, comparable to the Fist of the Empire, despite both being top-tier grand knights. He had concealed his true strength for many years, leading everyone to believe he was just an ordinary top-tier grand knight.
After Levi’s brief rest, he gathered the remaining forces, Magic Shark, Demon Mountain, and Demon Hai, though Specter was incapacitated after being severed by Montenegro Mountain.
Although Magic Shark and the others were missing limbs, they could still serve as laborers to some extent.
He then had the three MO brothers retrieve Specter’s corpse, which he promptly destroyed using the Seal of Flame.
Once the battlefield was cleaned up, Levi carried the Duke of Montenegro’s corpse with him and left the area.
Next, he needed to find a safe place to practice Meditation Art.
Back on the battlefield, the soldiers began to panic when they noticed that the Duke of Montenegro wasn’t chasing after the enemy.
Levi and his companions were too fast for mortal soldiers to catch up to.
The two grand knight guards were occupied with the Earl of Blood, making it impossible for them to rescue the Duke of Montenegro.
In addition, the combined forces of the royal family and noble alliance took advantage of the situation to launch a large-scale attack, forcing the Montenegro Mountain Army into a defensive stance.
Their commander had unexpectedly chased after an enemy who had intruded upon the battlefield at a crucial moment, leaving the soldiers feeling uneasy
about their situation..
