Li Qinwu read the description written on the magic array and immediately knew what the Armory's remaining 50% treasure was: a Nether Knight!

A Nether Knight was a large Eldar Construct, around twelve meters tall—a high-end weapon comparable to a human Knight Mech.

But unlike those clumsy, heavily armored human warriors, Nether Knights were exceptionally elegant and agile Knight Mechs.

Using Eldar black technology, a twelve-meter-tall Nether Knight could move with the nimbleness of a human ballet dancer.

It was basically a giant assassin with low defense, high speed, and devastating attack power. When human Knight Mechs encountered one, it would likely take a double-digit number of Knight Mechs to kill it.

But impressive as it was, there were simply too few of them.

Nether Knight Mechs had very few pilots. They required a pair of Eldar twins who had grown up together. One twin had to be killed, their soul drawn into a Spirit Stone and installed in the Ghost Mech, while the surviving twin served as the pilot.
