The Invincible Might of Black Dragon City
Beyond the Mist, not everyone can master the "Demon Resolve".
Only one type of person knows this secret method.
That is the "God's Chosen" chosen by a certain deity.
Those chosen by the gods are all Transcendent geniuses, one in ten thousand, and the gods' most devout believers.
"God's Chosen" signifies supreme status and absolute power. They possess Transcendent abilities bestowed by certain deities, and can at least advance to the top realm of the eighth level of the Transcendent realm.
Knowing the "Demon Resolve" secret technique also means being invincible among those of the same level!
"How is this possible? How could that woman use 'Demonic Release'?! Isn't that a divine power that only sixth- or seventh-tier Transcendent can control?"
The extraterrestrial thieves on the airship stared in disbelief.
It's bad enough that Canossa suddenly transformed from an "ordinary person" into an absurdly powerful Transcendent, but now she's even used "Demonic Release," a technique that a fifth-tier Transcendent could never master.
"This is the kind of pressure that a fifth-tier Transcendent can possess?!"
As the strongest fifth-tier elite captain sent by the "Red Shark Phantom Thief Group," Jimmy stared wide-eyed at everything happening on the ground, his heart filled with shock. "Do these natives of the Misty Land have such powerful beings?!"
After all, there aren't many "legendary" combatants in the entire Ice Ridge Wasteland.
The chances of encountering it are about the same as winning the lottery.
Although those thieves had seen some ordinary fifth-tier Transcendent in certain human territories before, they assumed that those people were the "ceiling" of combat power in the Spine Wasteland.
But it's still far from being a "legend".
And Canossa is a true "legendary Transcendent".
The airship from beyond the realm was unlucky and crashed after encountering a black dragon; this airship was equally unlucky and encountered the Invincible Strength Canossa, who could be described as a "Humanoid Dragon"!
"Quickly! Increase the airship's altitude and seal the cabins!"
The phantom thieves immediately chose to flee.
The fact that two fifth-tier squad leaders were instantly defeated by that terrifying woman revealed how they dared to stay any longer.
That's fucking terrifying!
How could there be such a freakishly powerful guy among these natives!
However, because of the previous operation to capture members of the Black Gold Merchant Guild, the airship descended to a height of only a few hundred meters above the ground. This distance allowed people on board to jump off, and also allowed others to jump onto.
After Canossa annihilated the two fifth-tier Transcendent on the ground, she ignored the other minions. Gazing at the airship in the sky, her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, and without hesitation, she forcefully bent her knees and pushed off the ground.
A loud "bang" was heard.
The immense pressure from her powerful stomp caused the surrounding hundred-square-meter ground to crack instantly, creating a spiderweb-like pattern. Then, she was launched into the sky like a cannonball.
It moved with such speed, like a beam of golden light!
"Not good!"
Before those who were just watching the commotion on the deck could react, a cold-faced woman in a cheongsam stood on the deck.
Looking up at Canossa in her "demon-dispelled" state at close range, these people revealed instinctive terror in their eyes.
However, this airship carried over a thousand thieves, more than 80% of whom were at least Third Tier or higher Transcendent. Although these guys were much weaker than the Transcendent on the Ice Ridge Wasteland, they possessed some high-level mechanical equipment from beyond the realm, so they were not without a fighting chance.
Just then, Captain Jimmy shouted, "Everyone, kill this woman! Don't let her into the control room, or we'll all die!"
At that shout, all the thieves on the airship instantly realized the critical situation and immediately sprang into action.
Canossa didn't give these people a chance to assemble into battle formation; she immediately locked onto Captain Jimmy, who had shouted the order.
Although I didn't understand what this guy was saying, I could tell at a glance that he was a leader.
"Smack!"
With another loud thud as the air was stomped, the immense force created a huge dent in the steel deck, which was enchanted with sturdy runes.
Canossa's current muscle strength means she doesn't need any martial arts skills; her sheer muscle explosive speed is so fast that people can't even react to it.
Her speed of advance would be something even Fifth-tier Extraordinary being on the Ice Ridge Wasteland might not be able to avoid, let alone these weak fifth-tier beings from beyond the realm.
"Bang!"
Canossa suddenly stopped, then spun around and kicked out with a graceful back kick, which swept across the waist of the phantom thief leader like an iron whip.
Power-based Transcendent moves are mostly characterized by wide, sweeping movements.
The greater the strength, the simpler and more brutal the moves tend to be.
Her kick was both violent and beautiful, unleashing terrifying energy with the force of an earthquake from her delicate body.
With a loud "crack" of bone breaking, Canossa kicked the guy who hadn't even reacted yet, sending him flying.
They smashed through the railings on the airship, then dented a cabin before the flying figure finally came to a stop.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, Canossa, who had regained her footing, raised an eyebrow slightly and let out a soft exclamation.
She was surprised that her kick, which she had used 80% of her strength, hadn't turned the guy into a bloody mess.
Looking at the torn leather armor on the creature, Canossa realized something and murmured to herself, "This leather armor is interesting. It's probably made from the leather of a fifth-tier or higher magical beast from beyond the realm."
If it weren't for the leather armor that guy was wearing, that kick would have been enough to kill him.
Even though the leather armor blocked most of the force of the leg strikes, the man's bones and internal organs were severely damaged. He wouldn't die, but he couldn't stand up either.
Taking advantage of the brief pause in Canossa's attack, a stealthy assassin suddenly struck.
The dagger, shimmering with a faint green light, pierced through the void and landed on Canossa's swan-like neck, slicing it across with a swift motion.
But!
This fifth-tier assassin's seemingly inevitable strike, aimed precisely at a vital point, yet failed to inflict any damage on Canossa whatsoever.
Not to mention cutting into that pure gold-plated skin, the blade of the dagger didn't even touch it before being blocked an inch away by the thick golden battle aura.
Like a dull knife cutting through cowhide, even with veins bulging on the assassin's forehead, the dagger could not cut any further.
That's it?
Canossa sensed the assassin's presence beforehand, but because the timing of his attack was so perfect, she had no choice but to take the blow head-on.
She had originally intended to block the blade with her super strong defense, but unexpectedly, the opponent couldn't even break through her Bodyguard Battle Qi.
"The dagger's material is very strange, but the level of its battle aura is really too poor."
With the enemy going all out, Canossa immediately made her judgment.
Through this probing, she also learned the approximate combat strength of these guys.
His fighting spirit is weak and poorly refined, but his martial arts skills are barely passable.
Canossa was also surprised to find that she couldn't sense any "artistic conception" from the assassin's killing move, and her elemental comprehension was also terrible.
She immediately understood. "He's just a half-baked expert who hasn't even grasped the 'artistic conception.' It seems those guys from beyond the realm have mastered some methods that allow one to advance to High-tier Extraordinary without comprehending specific rules."
Now, the pressure the other party can exert on her is even more limited.
They originally thought they were just a step below the ordinary Transcendent of the same level in the Ice Ridge Wasteland.
Looking at it now, it's not just a little bit behind, it's several levels behind.
Those at the Fourth Tier of the Transcendent have not grasped the "Artistic Conception," and those at the fifth level have not grasped the "Laws." They are simply not on the same level as the Transcendent on the Ice Ridge Wasteland.
In other words, these guys have a weak foundation and only possess a seemingly high level of Transcendent skill.
(Canossa didn't know was that it wasn't that the enemy was weak, but rather that the people of the Ice Ridge Wasteland were too strong.)
The assassin made a close-range attack, Canossa naturally had no intention of letting him go.
The guy tried to pull back his dagger and escape, but she didn't give him a chance and kicked him again.
The immense force compressed the air, creating a crescent-shaped wave of energy like the [Secret Technique: Storm Slash], which struck the assassin who had just vanished into thin air, bringing him back to reality.
This time, Canossa deliberately avoided targeting the body covered in leather armor and instead aimed for the neck.
As expected, the enemy's Bodyguard Battle Qi was as fragile as paper, unable to withstand her kick in the slightest. Like a guillotine on Guillotine Choke, the Qi Flow of her kick severed the fifth-tier assassin's head.
Canossa killed two elite Tier 5 members of the "Red Shark Group" in quick succession, but this also gave the thieves a chance to react.
Those guys weren't stupid either; in the blink of an eye, they put on all sorts of defensive gear, covering themselves up completely.
Then, a hail of bullets and artillery fire rained down on her like a storm.
Thump, thump, thump, thump
Snap, snap, snap, snap
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Like a fireworks display, the deck of the mechanical airship exploded with dazzling light.
Undeterred, Canossa unleashed her full fighting spirit, charging through a hail of bullets and engaging in fierce battles.
All the Law Power in this Misty World are limited to the Fifth-tier Extraordinary. Those magic-powered firearms that utilize high-level magical energy cannot be used; only conventional gunpowder firearms can be used.
Unbeknownst to the thieves, Canossa's defenses had reached the pinnacle of this Misty World. These muskets, aside from expending some of their battle aura, couldn't harm her in the slightest.
"The firearms are far more powerful than we can comprehend; the bullets are made of a special metal. Most importantly, it must be the high-grade gunpowder Doctor Tuster mentioned that allows for such a powerful combustion and explosion."
"While the mech's technology isn't as sophisticated as Doctor Tuster's, its materials and enchantments are far more advanced."
"."
While they were fighting, Canossa also gleaned some information.
However, there are thousands of people on this airship after all.
Some are hiding in impregnable compartments.
Now, almost all of the survivors are heavily armored, which has slowed down Canossa's killing speed considerably.
It would be difficult for her to kill all these guys by herself and stop the airship from taking off and escaping.
But just then, reinforcements from Black Dragon City arrived!
Just minutes before, when Canossa made her move, the Black Gold Merchant Guild's guard captain used a "Goblin Communicator" to contact Black Dragon City headquarters.
This is a real-time Communication Device, like a walkie-talkie, unlike those old-fashioned telegraph machines that have to transmit signals and decode them for ages.
This instant communication device, with its communication number, informed the high-ranking officials of Black Dragon City of what was happening almost immediately.
Black Dragon City had long prepared a comprehensive emergency response plan.
This was to guard against Sid, Omar, and City of Radiance, and also to deal with hostile visitors from outside the realm.
The possibility of "extraterrestrial airships appearing" has long been included in the emergency response plan.
This is the highest level of alert, "SSS"!
Therefore, upon receiving the news, the Lord of Black Dragon City's Mansion and all the top leaders' communicators immediately sounded an alarm.
In the fighting arena of Black Dragon City, Rein, who was training, saw the red light on his communicator, his expression changed, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.
Inside the city hall, Ymir, who was processing documents, witnessed this scene and also disappeared from her office.
Near the Kolman Tribe's animal shed, Great Shaman Mafat, Wudo, Elder of Strength Habu, Elder Rain Master Fofa, and Insect Master Elder Imyu all received the news and responded immediately. A deep, resonant bull horn sounded, and Kolman Warrior instantly mounted dragons, the Black Dragon Legion's elite Wyvern Legion soaring into the sky, blotting out the sun.
In the library of the Oma Academy, an old man with a white beard looked at a communicator, his eyes flashed, and suddenly the entire library lit up with complex magical patterns.
Royal Scientific Principles: Old Master Tuster and the fully-fledged Black Dragon Mech Legion were ready to go in the warehouse.
A werewolf who frequents taverns, a swordsman who strolls the streets with his cat.
The entire air defense system of Black Dragon City was activated instantly, and all kinds of anti-aircraft artillery were adjusted to the sky.
Air raid sirens blared throughout the city, reaching every corner.
The city's residents were unaware of what was happening, but because of the regular military drills to prevent Beast Tide and zombie hordes, they did not cause any disturbance.
However, the military and various combat units were mobilized.
Canossa had already caused a bloodbath on the mechanical airship.
In just a few minutes, the deck was littered with severed limbs.
"Just how strong is this woman?!"
"Even the sixth-rank squad leader in our group is definitely not as strong as her!"
"It's terrifying. Why are these natives so ridiculously strong?"
"."
The Blood Shark Phantom Thieves were terrified, and an atmosphere of despair quickly spread.
Although they could hold out for a short time thanks to their mechs and heavy armor, they had no way to deal with that female killer.
They couldn't kill Canossa, but the golden figure that moved in and out of the crowd seven times easily defeated them one by one.
Now their only hope is that once this female killing goddess's fighting spirit is nearly exhausted, she will choose to leave on her own.
But what happened next left them in utter despair.
Just as the battle was raging, a huge Hexagram Magic Array suddenly lit up in the sky not far away.
The thieves immediately noticed something and exclaimed, "It looks like a teleportation array?"
Does she have reinforcements?
The teleportation array lighting up here definitely doesn't mean they're getting reinforcements, but rather that woman's reinforcements!
The faces of the group of thieves turned ashen instantly, as if they had swallowed flies.
You're already this good, why are you calling for reinforcements?
Will they abandon martial ethics?
This made the phantom thieves feel like they only wanted to provoke a bee, but ended up stirring up a whole hornet's nest.
"However, surely not all the natives are as twisted as this woman?"
The enemy's reinforcements have arrived; the facts are clear.
The group of thieves didn't expect reinforcements from their "Blood Shark Gang" to appear from the teleportation array.
They could only pray that the enemy's reinforcements wouldn't be too strong.
Experience has taught them that the number of High-tier Extraordinary is proportional.
They had passed through so many human territories without encountering a single powerful individual like this woman. It seemed that among these "natives," such a fifth-tier super-strong individual capable of magic dissolution was extremely rare.
But
The next second, a look of despair froze on their faces.
The teleportation array connects to the library in Black Dragon City.
When the six-pointed star was fully lit, the first person to step out was an old man with a white beard and glasses.
Then came a female swordswoman wielding a sword.
Then there was an old man with bronze skin carrying a spear.
Then, a young man with squinty eyes.
Then came another man, also entirely golden and crackling with lightning.
There weren't many people who came out of the teleportation array; only these five.
However, the group of phantom thieves were completely dumbfounded.
Because, in their eyes...
Apart from the young man, the other four had Deity Phantom appearing behind them, clearly indicating that they had activated the "Demonic Release" state.
One wasn't enough, now there are four?
Moreover, it seems that these four guys who can dispel magic are not only no weaker than this woman who is currently wreaking havoc, but are even stronger in ways that seem to have no limits!
The other young man, although he hadn't activated his magic-based powers, definitely didn't look like a good guy.
The four of them stood there, staring coldly at the group of visitors from outside the region.
The surrounding space seemed to have frozen.
In the sweltering summer heat, the temperature suddenly plummeted, as if it were the dead of winter.
"What the hell is this place?!"
All the thieves in the "Blood Shark Phantom Thieves" were terrified.
I was playing a card game called "Dou Dizhu" and I played a "2" in my hand. I thought I had played too high.
So you went straight for the "trump card"?!
Moreover, it wasn't just a pair of "JOKER" cards, but a royal flush of four "JOKER" cards played at once.
Clearly, the troubles don't stop there.
Just as the Magic Array teleported in several ridiculously powerful individuals, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly resounded from the horizon.
Judging from the noise, it wasn't just one or two, but tens of thousands of flying magical beasts with an exaggeratedly terrifying aura!
Then, in the next instant, Master Cavo had finished chanting his spell.
He murmured, "Arcane Magic: Spatial Seal!"
The space is sealed off.
Now, there's nowhere left to run.
