Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

"I have to say, it really lives up to its reputation as a pure bone nail. It actually managed to interrupt Bo Ming with a purely physical attribute. I was originally thinking of using the Divine Armor as a second-stage weapon, but now it seems I should just forget about it."

Looking at the slightly trembling Bourne in his hand, Shen Yu sighed softly, then grasped the divine weapon formed by the fusion of multiple EGOs and bowed to the Hollow Knight in front of him.

Meanwhile, the Hollow Knight ahead, after a brief probing, confirmed that the other party was ready, and then returned a knightly salute, gripping the Pure Bone Nail in his hand.

The moment the battle officially began, the divine tuner in Shen Yu's mind trembled along with the white crown, revealing the opponent's information.

[Knight][Crown] (Impure)

The moment the information settled in his mind, the Hollow Knight took a step forward and arrived in front of Shen Yu in an instant, the bone nail in his hand already aimed at the other's head.

Bang!

After a loud clash, Shen Yu's bone nail successfully blocked the opponent's first attack. Then, the Hollow Knight quickly turned around, and the next two slashes arrived almost simultaneously.

"A triple slash? I know that move by heart."

The moment he sensed the opponent's attack, Shen Yu immediately used a step back to dodge the follow-up slash. Then, a scarlet wound appeared on his left hand, and he slashed at the opponent with a spinning blade.

However, just as the spinning blade struck its opponent, the Hollow Knight vanished instantly, leaving no trace to be detected.

"Just because we can't find your trace now doesn't mean we can't in the future."

The instant he thought of this, Shen Yu immediately activated the prediction device powered by the waters of the Predictive River.

"Up there?"

Upon sensing the Hollow Knight's landing point, Shen Yu immediately began to gather his strength. Then, just as the bone nail was about to pierce his head, he dodged to the side and unleashed a powerful slash.

The moment the Hollow Knight landed, sharp blades formed from pure souls burst forth from the ground, and the bone nail in Shen Yu's hand whistled as it slashed toward the Hollow Knight's head.

However, the instant Shen Yu struck his opponent, he immediately sensed a powerful recoil, and then realized that the Hollow Knight's abyssal pupils were staring into his soul.

"wrong!"

In an instant, Shen Yu used soul teleportation to disappear from the spot. The next moment, a slash directly sliced ​​through the afterimage of his soul, and the sword energy that escaped from it cut through half of the arena.

However, unlike before, this time it was a creature that writhed like a living thing, spread like a shadow, and then quickly returned to normal, with pale lines shimmering above it.

After Shen Yu's figure appeared, crimson blood dripped down his armor and onto the ground, adding another color to this white and black area.

Shen Yu simply wiped the blood from his forehead and looked at the knight in front of him, saying:

"If the characteristic of the Sage rank is the spear that understands and cuts through all things, then is the crown the shield that sits above all things and is inviolable?"

I knew those lessons weren't free; you had to fully understand them to deal damage. Putting this mechanism in an arena, isn't that a bit like cheating?

"So it's reasonable for me to bring in two foreign players to stall for time, right?"

After uttering a sigh, Shen Yu drew Bo Ming from the divine cup in his hand and then spoke:

"It's decided to be you."

The instant Shen Yu finished speaking, Moby Dick and the End Bird appeared in the arena and roared at the Hollow Knight in front of them.

"What a peculiar existence Stokala is! These two actually possess the aura of true gods. Could it be that they, like this near-perfect divine shell, are vessels personally crafted by the gods?"

Upon seeing the Last Bird and Moby Dick appear, the Seeker of Gods immediately exclaimed with excitement. However, Grimm shook his head slightly, then pointed at them and said:

“Daros, that’s not the case. These two beings are not vessels created by higher beings, but rather desires provided for themselves. However, because of this connection, the laws of reality cannot affect these two beings too much.”

After Green finished speaking, Shen Yu took a deep breath and then gave instructions to the Last Bird and Moby Dick in front of him:

"Help me buy some time. I need to understand what's in front of me before I can cause any harm."

Upon hearing Shen Yu's order, Moby Dick turned to look at him, his eyes seemingly wondering how he had managed to provoke this dangerous individual.

Now that he realized that his ability to think rationally seemed to originate from this guy, Moby Dick still let out a reluctant roar, and then opened his mouth to bite the Hollow Knight in front of him.

Just as Moby Dick launched his attack, the End Bird let out a deafening roar, and then countless golden lights shone from the golden eyes on its wings, like a meteor shower, blocking the Hollow Knight's escape route.

Faced with the shimmering golden meteor before him, the Hollow Knight conjured a pale soul dagger in his hand and then launched it forward.

The pale light, like the dawn, shattered the shooting stars of dawn and dusk, and then pierced the wings of the End Bird.

However, in the next instant, Moby Dick, who had launched his charge ahead of time, was already in front of the Hollow Knight, and then opened his mouth to bite down.

Click.

Just as Moby Dick snapped his jaws shut, Hollow Knight swung his bone nail, cleaving his opponent in two.

Unfortunately, the powerful slash did not cause any effective damage to the opponent—Moby Dick instantly replicated himself after his body split, and then launched attacks on Hollow Knight from the left and right sides respectively.

Just as Hollow Knight swung his nail to sever the whale's tail on the left, Moby Dick on the right suddenly bit down, clamping his jaws tightly around Hollow Knight. Meanwhile, the golden scales on the neck of the End Bird in the distance tilted, issuing a judgment upon the soul.

The deep blue soul damage rippled through the air like a tide, eventually covering the entire arena.

However, the ripples of the Soul Judgment vanished as if sinking into the sea upon contact with the Hollow Knight. At the same time, the Hollow Knight had already completed the condensation of his soul.

In the next instant, the soul that had been condensed to its limit was suddenly released, and Moby Dick's enormous body instantly dissipated into that pure soul.

The End Bird, having lost most of its front half, stood frozen in place like a corpse, slowly recovering.

Just as the unharmed Hollow Knight gripped the bone nail and looked in Shen Yu's direction, a scarlet light suddenly flashed from his left side.

The moment he sensed the presence, Hollow Knight swung his bone nail—but the white whale he had previously eliminated reappeared, blocking the attack with a black arm wrapped in bandages.

"Senior, you still have a slight flaw."

Shen Yu swung his Nightmare Blade, aiming precisely for his opponent's forehead. Immediately afterward, a message entered his mind:

"This container... has failed..."
