Chapter 321 The Dark Knight, the Master of Imitation
At this critical moment, Alpha used the power of silence to strike a fatal blow from behind with lightning speed. The wolf king who rushed over had no time to react and could only instinctively raise his hand to block.
However, this time Alpha used the real body of King Arthur's Sword. Although there was no fighting spirit wrapped around the sword, the power of the holy sword itself should not be underestimated. With a dull collision sound, the wolf king's arms and head were instantly cut off, and blood gushed out, staining the surrounding ground red.
The wolf king looked at his body being split in an instant, his eyes filled with disbelief. After all, before this, even a full-strength attack from a human could only break his hand bones, but this time the attack actually split his body directly. This huge contrast made it difficult for him to accept the reality.
However, the facts were before his eyes and could not be changed. The wolf king watched unwillingly as his head was separated from his body, and finally his head rolled on the ground far away. A strange thing happened. King Arthur's sword actually stretched out countless black smoke and directly wrapped up the enemy's body.
In just a moment, the wolf king's body turned into a mummy, as if all the life essence had been drained away. All the energy in the wolf king's body was devoured by King Arthur's sword, and this scene shocked Alpha. What on earth was going on? Was it the original ability of King Arthur's sword, or was it a new ability after being infected by the dark power? Alpha was full of doubts.
However, Alpha clearly realized that he must not use King Arthur's sword again unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, if someone saw this, he would definitely be considered a heretic and might even face more serious consequences. Therefore, he decided to bury this matter deep in his heart and never mention or show this mysterious holy sword again.
"Guli." The other wolf king roared angrily when he saw his companion being killed, his voice filled with endless grief and rage.
However, facing Alpha's strange and powerful ability, it hesitated for a moment. After all, the human in front of it had just cut off its companion's arm and killed him. This terrifying power made it feel unprecedentedly threatened.
"A good dog doesn't stand in the way, you dog." Alpha held King Arthur's sword tightly, his eyes revealing contempt and disdain. He knew that the stronger he acted at this moment, the easier it would be for the enemy to become weak. His words pierced into the wolf king's heart like a sharp blade, making the other party even more panicked.
"Asshole, I'm going to kill you!" The wolf king roared, trying to launch a final charge. However, just as it was about to pounce on Alpha, the latter suddenly rushed forward, and the speed was so fast that the wolf king was caught off guard. The frightened wolf king turned around and ran, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
Watching the wolf king escape, Alpha felt exhausted and could hardly support his body, and sat down on the cold ground. But he soon realized that it was not the time to relax - his teammates were still waiting for rescue!
So, Alpha resisted the urge to get up and ran towards Strong and Gilliana who were injured and lying on the ground not far away. At the same time, he summoned the shadow that had been hovering around to ensure safety.
"You two get out of here right now, I'll go help them." Alpha said to the two of them, breathing heavily.
Although Alpha's fighting spirit had been exhausted, with less than one third left, this was not a big problem for him, because what really determined his combat effectiveness was the power of discipline rather than the fighting spirit alone. Fighting spirit was only used to provide support for continuous recovery, and had limited impact on overall strength.
"Lord Alpha, we are willing to accompany you!" Gilliana looked at Alpha firmly, with admiration flashing in her eyes.
Although they were both bronze-level knights, after experiencing the thrilling battle just now, she deeply realized the huge gap between herself and Alpha, which also inspired her determination to become stronger.
"Trust me, Alpha Knight, we can buy you some time and will never be a burden to you." Strong deduced from the brief experience of the previous fight that the reason why Alpha could burst out with such amazing power was probably because he had some special skills or secrets, which obviously required a certain amount of time to prepare. Therefore, in their opinion, delaying the enemy as much as possible was the best way to support him.
"Well, my power of discipline is indeed a charged burst skill. The shortest charging time is five minutes, at which time it can exert five times the usual power; the longest waiting time is twenty minutes, at which time the maximum amplification effect can be achieved. Please be sure to pay attention to grasp the opportunity." Alpha explained.
As one of the secret weapons within the Church, specific information about the power of discipline is usually not disclosed to outsiders. However, considering the current urgent situation and the sufficient trust between team members, Alpha made an exception and shared this key intelligence.
"Lord Alpha, the power of discipline I awakened is called Weakness Perception. Theoretically, it should be able to see through any flaws in the opponent. Strangely, when I tried to observe the fleeing wolf king, I found that it seemed to be flawless." Gilliana continued riding on her warhorse, and began to share the unique abilities that each of them possessed. In fact, everyone who obtains this talent will show various forms and abilities of varying strengths according to their personal characteristics.
"That's because you're not strong enough right now," Alpha explained patiently. "Based on your current level, even if you see the so-called 'weaknesses', you may not be able to use them effectively. Moreover, in my opinion, those so-called flaws pose no threat to you at all."
"As for me..." At this point, Strong also joined the discussion, "My ability is called limb strengthening. Although it may not sound that powerful, it can actually double my strength instantly. Of course, this state can be maintained forever, which is somewhat similar to Augustine."
Hearing this, Alpha nodded in agreement and added: "In that case, why not take this opportunity to let me teach you a few tricks on how to better use your fighting spirit to attack?" In fact, Alpha himself had not systematically studied this knowledge, so this was a good opportunity for everyone to discuss it together.
"Lord Alpha, we can already see the battlefield ahead from afar. You can start gathering your strength and preparing now." There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in Gilliana's voice.
Gilliana's eyes penetrated the smoke and dust of the battlefield, and she seemed to be able to clearly feel the energy fluctuations generated by every collision of swords. This extraordinary perception was probably due to the power of discipline flowing in her body - a mysterious power derived from ancient heritage that gave the holder special abilities.
After hearing what Gilliana said, Alpha nodded to show his understanding and quickly made a decision: "Very good, we must hurry up. Based on the current situation analysis, I suggest entering the battlefield from the right side."
As Alpha spoke, he gently tapped the location marked "right" on the map. That was one of the places where the battle situation was most chaotic and support was urgently needed.
In contrast, although the confrontation between Athena and the Silver Knights was also very fierce, the two sides were equally strong and were temporarily in a stalemate; while the other side was almost on the verge of collapse, and if action was not taken quickly, the consequences would be disastrous.
In fact, before knowing that he was about to face the enemy, Alpha had already quietly begun the process of accumulating energy. Unlike the previous practice of directly using acceleration spells to increase his speed - because doing so would consume a lot of precious fighting spirit resources - this time, considering that the fighting spirit in his body was not abundant, in order to ensure that he could maximize his effectiveness at the critical moment, Alpha chose a more cautious approach: adjusting his breathing rhythm through deep breathing, while concentrating his mind and thoughts on his body, slowly guiding every bit of strength to gather in his dantian. As time passed, the air seemed to be filled with an invisible sense of pressure, indicating that a shocking battle was about to begin.
"Charge." Alpha aimed at a wolf king who was killing people, his eyes full of determination. On the ground, Alpha quickly picked up a sword of a masterless knight. Although this sword was not King Arthur's sword, it was also a replica sword processed by the Church, and it was extremely sharp. He put King Arthur's sword on his back and immediately rushed to the battlefield, ready to fight the fierce enemy in front.
At the same time, "Charge." Strong and Gilliana also chose another wolf king as their target.
They knew that their mission was to delay time and give Alpha enough time to fight the most powerful enemy. The two fought side by side, cooperated tacitly, and constantly created trouble for the wolf king, making it unable to attack Alpha with all his strength.
"Eat my sword, you dog!" Alpha used the power of his horse's high-speed sprint to jump high up, and the whole person seemed to turn into a flash of lightning, rushing directly towards the wolf king in front. He had only one thought in his mind: defeat the enemy in front of him and protect his companions behind him.
However, the wolf king in front was in a killing spree and was not afraid of the knights coming behind. With a fierce light in its eyes, it just arrogantly threw a punch, trying to knock Alpha down. The air was filled with tension, and everyone held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.
There was a loud rumble, and the entire battlefield was shaken. The collision between Alpha and the Wolf King produced a huge impact force, and the dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun. The surrounding soldiers retreated one after another to avoid being involved in this thrilling battle.
When the smoke cleared, Alpha was blown away seven or eight meters, but he adjusted his posture in the air and landed in an elegant and steady manner without looking embarrassed. His feet were firmly on the ground, as if the powerful impact just now was just a trivial matter to him.
In contrast, the wolf king's situation was much worse. His body fell heavily to the ground, his legs stuck deep into the soil, and there was almost no end in sight. The sound of broken fist bones echoed in the air, and blood continued to flow from the wound, staining his arms and the surrounding land red. The wolf king groaned in pain and struggled to stand up, but every attempt made him feel more excruciating pain.
This scene made everyone present feel pain for the Wolf King, and at the same time they were in awe of Alpha's strength.
"Strong, Gilliana, change people." Alpha's voice was like an order, full of unquestionable majesty. He made a quick decision and handed the injured companion to Gilliana and another warrior, while he was responsible for dealing with another powerful wolf king. This decisive action not only demonstrated his leadership, but also brought psychological pressure to the enemy.
Faced with such a situation, the wolf king seemed a little hesitant. Seeing his companions being easily defeated by Alpha and handed over to others to take care of, he began to doubt his own strength. This uncertainty was exactly what Alpha wanted to see - by creating chaos and confusion, the other party would not dare to act rashly, thus buying more time for himself to prepare for the next move.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened. "Wolf King, his power is the power of discipline, it takes time to accumulate power, kill him quickly." A voice suddenly sounded from the knights, breaking the brief peace on the battlefield. This sentence seemed to remind everyone: Although Alpha is powerful, he is not invincible; as long as you seize the opportunity, you may be able to defeat him.
As these words fell, all eyes were focused on the knight who had spoken the secret. The air was filled with a tense and angry atmosphere. For these warriors who were loyal to the kingdom and had fought side by side for many years, betrayal was one of the most unforgivable acts.
They stared at this person who might have been their friend or comrade with hostile eyes, their hearts filled with disappointment and anger. At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to be shrouded in this sudden betrayal, and the already complicated and changeable situation became even more confusing.
"Amata, why did you betray us?" The knight captain looked at the familiar face and felt confused. They had fought side by side and resisted the enemy together, but now they were on opposite sides. What happened to make him become like this?
"He is not the Knight of Light. He is the Dark Knight in disguise, just like Odyssey before him." Alpha reminded loudly, trying to make people around him realize that the so-called "Armata" in front of them is actually a pretender. There is a hint of anxiety in his voice, because he knows that time is running out and the truth must be revealed as soon as possible.
After hearing what Alpha said, he not only did not deny it, but showed a strange smile: "Yes, I am Armata, I am also Odyssey, and I can be Knight Arthur." After that, he deliberately changed his face shape, sometimes he became like Armata, sometimes he became like Odyssey, and finally he even imitated the demeanor of Knight Arthur. This dazzling change was obviously to plant the seeds of doubt in everyone and make everyone waver about his identity.
However, Alpha was not fooled by these appearances. "Don't be fooled by him!" He emphasized again, "The real Knight of Light has a pure heart and firm belief, but he can't do that. More importantly, no matter how he changes his appearance or voice, he can't change the fact that he can't change his body shape or use the power of the Knight of Light."
At this moment, the wolf king, who had been lurking nearby and observing the situation, seemed to have received some kind of signal, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. Then, without any warning, the huge beast pounced on Alpha who was speaking.
Obviously, this sudden attack was premeditated, and the target was Alpha, the key person to reveal the truth. Facing the impending danger, Alpha knew that he had no extra time to waste and had to take action immediately to protect himself and his companions from harm.
