Clinging

Only now did Connor finally reveal his terrifying second-tier strength.

Although the Blood Wolf Knights, as a knightly order, do not occupy a large territory, it is still enough to push Connor's strength to the second tier.

However, once it reaches the second tier, it gains a significant advantage over the First Order.

Connor wielded his heavy greatsword, striking at least three times per second; the broad blade flashed through the air, stirring up a bit of frost.

In just five seconds, Fran's five Shield Spell Ring were shattered, leaving her without the protection of her shields.

Of course, Fran wasn't idle during those five seconds. Her blade was imbued with Sunflame, Connor, not initially understanding the significance, actually rammed his greatsword into Fran's longsword.

Connor only realized what was happening when he heard the sound of metal hitting the ground and felt the weapon in his hand become slightly lighter.

He turned around quickly, creating some distance and giving Fran a moment to catch her breath before hurriedly looking at the greatsword he had used for many years.

Several large pits appeared on the edge, and the entire tip of the sword was cut off, leaving a flat bevel.

Everywhere there were charred marks, and they still radiated a little heat.

Connor frowned. The Arts used on the opponent's longsword was too powerful; even the bones of a First Order magical beast could not withstand it. After only a few collisions, it had turned into this state.

Then he can no longer use this weapon to collide with the opponent's weapon, which would cause him to lose the weapon immediately.

Connor leaped forward again, facing Fran's attack without even dodging, letting Fran's red-glowing longsword strike his armor directly.

The black armor was as flimsy as paper; Fran's longsword slashed a large gash in it, and then the sword continued downwards, as if it had struck something hard.

At that moment, Connor's longsword struck Fran's shoulder hard, sending countless fragments of rock flying and scattering on the ground, causing Fran to quickly jump back and create distance.

Fran turned her head to look at her shoulder. Her Hardened Scale Rock had long been upgraded to the Extraordinary Level, and with the added bonus of [Earth Dragon Breath], she had only managed to block a simple sword strike from the opponent.

Then, she looked up at the spot where she had just hit Connor.

There was charred skin exposed there, but it didn't look very dark.

Connor smiled. As a second-tier knight, his physical defense was already superior to the armor he was wearing; he only wore the armor to withstand a little more damage.

Such an attack was like hitting an ordinary person with a thin stick to Connor.

Fran knew she couldn't continue like this, so she jumped up from the spot.

Connor watched Fran leap three meters high and was about to follow when he realized there was more to it than met the eye.

He saw Fran make a slight turn in mid-air, kick off the stone walls on either side of the canyon, and then plunge forward into the group of knights behind her.

Connor didn't rush to follow. He understood what Fran was using: it was Elven Swordsmanship, which allowed for absurd turns in mid-air.

If he jumps after him, the opponent will most likely twist in mid-air and dodge his attack.

Connor immediately turned in the opposite direction. He frowned as he watched the crowd remain even after Fran went inside.

"Scatter immediately! What are you doing?"

Connor roared, leaping forward and shoving aside a knight who was blocking his way.

Upon seeing Fran arrive, the knights immediately charged forward and launched an attack on Fran.

In the eyes of these knights, Fran was nothing special; she was only First Order knight, how much stronger could she be than them?

Fran had instantly killed a charging knight, and they had completely forgotten about it, not allowing the information to linger in their minds for long.

Now their only thought is to attack, attack.

A knight swung his greatsword fiercely at Fran, but his greatsword seemed to have struck nothing. When he looked at the weapon in his hand, he saw only a greatsword whose entire blade had been severed.

Fran then used Swift Wind Slash, two extremely fast slashes passing over the knight, the Sunflame incinerating everything in its path.

When Fran turned around, she unleashed another Sunflame Slash, destroying the weapon of another knight. The knight behind her was now broken into three pieces.

Metal and flesh fell to the ground together, making a barely audible sound amidst the noisy scene. The Blaze seemed to have scorched all the wounds, causing only a few drops of blood to slowly flow out.

Fran possessed the Arts of Sunflame Knight, and with the runes on her longsword, she managed to kill three people in quick succession.

The knights then regretted their recklessness. It was as if a bucket of cold water had extinguished their anger, forcing them to step back and make way for Connor and Fran's duel.

"Seven left." Fran glanced around; she was surrounded by seven knights.

At this moment, Connor's face was ashen. He never expected that Fran would kill three knights in the Knights Order so easily, as if cutting melons and vegetables.

He suddenly launched an attack; a blood-soaked wolf's head flashed across his greatsword, and then the entire greatsword, imbued with a destructive spirit, slashed down towards Fran.

The sword strike was so fast that Fran couldn't defend against it at all and could only watch as the entire greatsword crashed into her body as she was about to dodge.

"Screech!" A sharp pain shot through Fran's body, and she frowned. This was one of the few injuries she had sustained since arriving in this other world.

Fortunately, Fran had [Hardened Scale Rock] as protection, which eliminated a large amount of damage. Her physique had also been greatly enhanced by the direct use of Mental Power.

She managed to block the attack at the cost of a gruesome wound.

On her exposed wound, a faint light emanated from deep within, a trait of Fran's [Light in Blood], capable of healing Fran's wounds.

Connor looked at the wound he had inflicted with almost all his strength with incredulous eyes; it was only this small.

Once a normal mage's protective spell is broken, their physical abilities are almost equivalent to those of an ordinary apprentice knight. Logically speaking, if I were to strike Fran, Fran would definitely be cut in two.

But now there is only a hideous wound, which shows that Fran's physical fitness is far superior to that of a normal First Order knight.

Fran leaped up quickly, dodging Connor's attack once more, while the two rings on her hand emitted a blue and a yellow light respectively.

These are two Spell Ring she prepared for her First Order spells [Howling Gale] and [Earth Uplift], which can assist her in casting these two spells every 0.5 seconds.

As she faced the knights, the magical energy emanating from her body began to surge dramatically.
