The Knight's Journey to the Empire

Originally, according to Butler Mark and Master Oliver's original idea, they wanted to repel the [Nidhogg] and prevent it from chasing the ships that attacked the fleet.

But now the [Nidhogg] has obviously become bloodthirsty and is ready to fight to the death.

Therefore, in order to avoid being dragged to death by the other party in this vast ocean, Butler Mark had no choice but to choose another plan.

"Senior Oliver, please hold it back for a while. I need time to condense my ultimate fighting skills!" Butler Mark shouted.

Master Oliver also instantly understood what Butler Mark meant.

As a pillar knight who practices thunder-type fighting spirit, he has the characteristic of high output.

So even though his own fighting spirit reserves were strong, after such a long period of fighting output, he also felt that his fighting spirit had been consumed a lot.

Of course, this does not mean that Master Oliver's fighting spirit output is weak, or that his fighting spirit reserves are insufficient, but that the amount of fighting spirit consumed is not proportional to the results achieved.

After all, for him who is used to living on land, the sea is not his home battlefield.

Therefore, if they continue to fight in this way, the final result will be that their fighting spirit will be exhausted and they will eventually flee in panic.

It is even possible that he will be chased by the [Nidhoggr] sea monster for thousands of miles, staging a real death-escape drama.

After thinking this through, Master Oliver said without any hesitation: "Okay! Help me hold it back for a few seconds, and I'll use a controlling fighting skill to hold it back first!"

Over there, Butler Mark did not hesitate at all. He directly gushed out his fighting spirit, condensed various ice attacks, and rushed towards the [Nidhoggr Sea Monster].

These attacks were so intensive that for a moment, the [Nidhogg Sea Monster] was somewhat flustered and began to wave its tentacles around to block.

No matter what, Butler Mark is a powerful Knight of the Pillar State!

Therefore, if he gets angry, even if it is a super-class monster, he will not get any benefit.

However, it is a pity that compared with the extremely tough flesh and blood of the super-class monster, the attack methods deployed by Butler Mark are still somewhat lacking in power and can only cause some minor injuries to it.

Therefore, the most it can do is to distract the attention of the [Nidhogg] so that it cannot disturb Master Oliver from concentrating and releasing his fighting skills.

But this alone is enough, because in just these three or four seconds, Master Oliver has condensed his fighting skills.

……

"Mark, my fighting skills can only hold it back for half a minute. The rest depends on you!" Master Oliver roared loudly.

At this moment, Butler Mark's whole body was emitting a hazy purple electric light. Tiny lightning was flowing around his body, flashing bright and dim light amidst the crackling sounds. He looked like a god of thunder that had descended from the sky, majestic and domineering without even being angry.

As soon as he finished shouting, Master Oliver did not hesitate. He raised the enchanted greatsword in his hand, which was also shining brightly, and directly turned into a purple light, and fearlessly killed the [Nidhogg] sea monster.

The power of thunder is unstoppable, and wherever the sword points, it shatters the darkness.

Over there, the [Nidhogg], which was hurriedly defending against various ice-based attacks, also sensed a sense of crisis suddenly approaching it with its magical beast instinct.

So the moment it saw Master Oliver, it immediately stopped attacking Butler Mark and instead directed all its tentacles towards Master Oliver.

We must not let this human being who is radiating light all over his body get close to us!

This is the only remaining thought among the little wisdom that the Nidhogg sea monster has now.

Because as Master Oliver's figure got closer to it, the sense of crisis in its heart became stronger.

This sense of crisis was not as strong as it was last time when it fought fiercely with Butler Mark and escaped seriously injured.

Therefore, the [Nidhogg] thought that it would be better to keep this human as far away as possible.

But unfortunately, what the [Nidhogg] didn't know was that it sent all its tentacles to attack Master Oliver frantically, which was exactly what Master Oliver was expecting.

Because thunder-attributed Dou Qi can be transformed into thunder and lightning, it is equivalent to a kind of thunder and lightning.

Lightning has a very important characteristic: conductivity.

Master Oliver used his extremely fast speed to dodge several attacks from the sea monster's tentacles nimbly and lightly.

Then, close to the sea surface, he stabbed the enchanted greatsword in his hand, which was glowing purple, into one of the sea monster's tentacles at an extremely fast speed.

Finally, it mobilized all the thunder-attributed fighting spirit in its body, and in an instant it gushed out along the enchanted greatsword.

then……

Rumble...Rumble...

……

Over there, Butler Mark, who had just escaped from the attack of the sea monster's tentacles, heard a loud "bang".

Then he saw that the sea area within a radius of fifty meters centered on Master Oliver instantly turned into a misty purple ocean.

And in this purple ocean, thunder surged, electric snakes danced wildly, lightning flashed, thunder roared, lightning intertwined, and flickering could be seen.

Obviously, the fighting skills released by Master Oliver turned this sea area into a sea of ​​thunder and lightning in an instant.

And this is the true strength of a powerful Pillar Knight who has mastered the basic principles of the law.

In the purple sea of ​​lightning, the sea monster Nidhogg was instantly struck hard, and its entire body twitched and rolled wildly like a fish that had been electrocuted, causing one huge wave after another.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

[Nidhogg the Great Sea Monster] was electrocuted deep into the air and let out a series of suppressed roars of extreme pain.

At the same time, its flesh and blood were shattered in many places all over its body, and blood was gushing out. Some parts were even charred by the lightning, emitting an unpleasant burnt smell.

Master Oliver was not affected by these external objects, but continued to release thunder and lightning fighting spirit madly, buying time for Butler Mark to condense the ultimate fighting skills.

But in his heart, he still felt a little regretful about the effect that this fighting skill he released could achieve.

……

This thunder fighting skill is named [Thunder Surge]. It is an exclusive fighting skill that Master Oliver personally improved and upgraded after he advanced to the professional level of Pillar Knight and comprehended the natural law of thunder to the entry level.

The attack method of [Thunder Surge] is mainly to convert the fighting spirit into thunder and inject it all into the enemy's body, causing internal destruction to the enemy, thereby achieving the maximum attack effect.

Of course, it is also possible to directly attack the enemy's exterior.

But in that case, the power released by [Thunder Surge] would be smaller, probably about 10% less.

Therefore, if this battle took place on land, then the [Thunder Surge] released by Master Oliver would instantly seriously injure any super-class monster it hit, and would directly lose its combat effectiveness.

But unfortunately, the current battle is taking place in the sea, so even though Master Oliver has released all the power of [Thunder Surge] onto the [Nidhogg] sea monster.

However, more than 30% of the power of thunder was dissipated by the conductivity of sea water.

So this is why Master Oliver said that he could only hold back the [Nidhogg] for half a minute, or why he felt regretful about the effect that his fighting skills could bring.

The main thing is that this sea is definitely not his home ground!

But even so, the Nidhogg sea monster would not feel good after receiving such a heavy blow.

Because 60% of the power of [Thunder Surge] was released into it, it was enough to give it a severe electric shock and cause serious damage.

The surrounding sea area was once again dyed with the blue blood of the Nidhogg sea monster, which was the best proof.

Moreover, in this purple sea of ​​thunder, as lightning flashed, the [Nidhogg] could only struggle and twitch helplessly, unable to make any counterattack.

This is enough to prove that Master Oliver was able to control it with his powerful strength.

Therefore, who can say that the attack power of the [Thunder Surge] fighting skill released by Master Oliver is not strong?

……

On the other side, Butler Mark saw that the [Nidhogg] had been controlled by Master Oliver, so he stopped hesitating and began to concentrate on his ultimate fighting skills.

I saw that Butler Mark first used his fighting spirit to create a large piece of floating ice on the sea.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ice floe, his whole body and mind gradually becoming empty. At the same time, he released all his mental energy and slowly sensed the omnipresent power of natural laws.

The natural law of ice is a special form of the natural law of water. Therefore, for Butler Mark, who has already comprehended the basics of the natural law of ice, he can still feel some similarities with the natural law of water by analogy.

In the Knight Continent, natural laws of various attributes are like interwoven spider webs, covering every corner of the world.

The ubiquitous energy of heaven and earth with various attributes is a concrete manifestation of natural laws.

In addition, there are various magical plants, magical beasts, magical metals, and even some special environments with attributes, which are also a real manifestation of natural laws.

When practicing the knight profession to the upper knight profession level, a person's mental strength will be greatly enhanced, thereby gaining the special ability to perceive the world through mental projection.

Through this special ability, the upper knight can sense the various energies of heaven and earth around him, and attract and directly absorb and refine the suitable one among them.

Therefore, the mental power of the person at this time is actually equivalent to a special fulcrum that connects the knight to the world of laws.

The knight can use this special fulcrum to follow the inherent laws in the universe and leverage the power of the corresponding laws for his own benefit.

For example, now, under the mental perception of Butler Mark, he quickly sensed the ubiquitous water-attributed energy of heaven and earth around him.

Then Butler Mark began to follow the laws that existed in the universe, and using his own powerful mental power as a medium, he began to gradually gather the water-attributed energy of heaven and earth.

In the environment of the sea, the water-attributed energy of heaven and earth is undoubtedly extremely abundant, and it can be said to be inexhaustible.

Therefore, within the perception range of Butler Mark, wisps of blue energy from heaven and earth soon emerged from the surrounding air and the sea water beneath him.

These blue energies of heaven and earth attracted each other, entangled, and eventually formed numerous small water droplets.

Small drops of water floated in the air, and then, following the pull of Butler Mark's mental power, gradually gathered and surged in the direction of Butler Mark.

Gradually, the water droplets in the air gathered more and more...

In the end, a water vortex with a diameter of ten feet condensed directly above Butler Mark's head.

This water vortex was also spinning rapidly, and the huge centripetal force it created was constantly pulling at the surrounding water vapor, while also causing gusts of huge howling winds.

So all of a sudden, this sea area became unpredictable, with wind and thunder surging, as if the end of the world had come.

Fortunately, Soran and his crew had already driven the ship away from this dangerous sea, otherwise, they might have been dragged by the huge attraction of this water whirlpool and fell into danger.

……

Butler Mark carefully sensed the size of the water vortex. When he felt that the water energy in it was sufficient, he stopped the traction of his mental power and began to release his ice-attribute fighting spirit.

Strands of ice-blue fighting spirit gushed out from Butler Mark's body, floating upward and merging into the vortex of water.

Then the water vortex began to freeze rapidly at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

In the end, the entire water vortex was frozen into an ice cone.

The volume of the ice cone is extremely huge, up to 10 meters high and 3 meters in diameter, and there is no impurities. It is crystal clear and white enough to transmit light, and it also emits a biting cold breath to the surroundings. The temperature within a radius of meters even drops below ten degrees.

The sharp bottom of the ice cone was flashing with a sharp cold light, as if it could pierce through all matter in the world.

At this time, the [Nidhogg] was still being controlled by Master Oliver's [Thunder Surge] in the purple sea of ​​thunder, struggling in vain without any ability to resist.

Because of the excessive pain, part of the body of the Nidhogg sea monster, which had always been hidden under the water, emerged from the sea.

So the moment the huge ice cone was formed, Butler Mark directly used his mental power to lock its body, and then controlled the ice cone to break through and suppress it without any hesitation.
