Age of Adepts

Without making Grim wait any longer, the expected high ranking knight finally appeared.

Harkans was worthy of being the largest city in the northern part of the Zambis Empire.

Ever since stepping through the city gates, even with Grim's pickiness and arrogance, he had to admit that it was a prosperous and beautiful human city.

Tall and imposing city walls towered all around it, with wide and flat cobblestone roads outlining the crisscrossing streets. Harkans has a good drainage system that keeps the roads dry and clean at all times, without the muddy and dirty feeling of other cities.

The bustling commercial district, the warehouse district, the elegant and noble district, and the Chapel of the Holy Light that towered in the center of the city were all part of the city.

The architectural style of the Zambis Empire tended to be somewhat sleek and soft, and with the Wind Spirit's perspective looking down from above, all of the buildings were so tall and beautiful, and the upper parts of the buildings were finished off with a rounded curved dome.

Once you stepped through the gates, the most striking thing was probably the towering Chapel of Holy Light in the middle of the city. Seriously, it is a bizarre religious structure, and is the foundation of almost every Zambesian city.

The Chapel of Holy Light was actually the main place of activity for the Holy Knights, where they completed their daily training, knightly ritual cultivation, and integration with the Holy Light. However, one of the main functions of the Chapel was to serve as a burial place for the fallen Paladins.

Underneath the Chapel of Holy Light, there was a huge crypt dedicated to storing the remains of the fallen Paladins. Every week, at a fixed time, the Chapel of the Holy Light would open its doors, allowing its followers to enter and pray and praise the Holy Light, as well as the warriors who had died for the holy cause of the Empire.

As a member of the Zambis Empire, the holy knights raised by the Chapel of Holy Light have often become an important pillar of strength in maintaining security and stability everywhere. Ordinary Imperial regulars only belonged to the base of secular rule, while the Holy Knights who adored the Holy Light and kept their faith were the truly countable high-end warriors of the Enwik Plane.

So as soon as Grim broke into Harkans City, the first task assigned to the Heavenly Wind Spirit was to monitor the movements of the Holy Knights within the city.

It had to be said that the Paladins were truly a group of terrifying professionals with great discipline and fighting ability after rigorous training.

As soon as the two sorcerers entered the city, the Holy Light Chapel in the distance opened its doors with a great roar, and out of it rushed a group of Holy Knights in fine knight armor. They were riding on tall, strong and robust horses, stepping on rolling thunder and rushing towards the accident site like lightning.

The tall knight at the head of the group was clad in exquisite silver-white body armor, with a full-covered helmet that covered his entire face, and only a pair of steady, calm, steely eyes could be seen from the opening of the cross-shaped face armor. The horse on his hip was particularly tall and strong, and when he let go of his foot and ran wildly, there was a faint sound of thundering tigers.

And naturally, Grim didn't look at his enemies for their size and strength, but rather to scan the energy scent in their bodies. Paladins wouldn't be able to distort or mask their energy breath like witches, so the data obtained by this method was often the most intuitive and reliable as well.

With the aid of the Wind Spirit's Eye, Grim merely uttered a few incantations, and the group of Paladins running along the street transformed into a single red dot of light of varying shades in his eyes.

There were 304 of them in total.

Most of these spots of light were light red, and judging by their energy intensity, they should belong to the 1st rank, there were roughly 282 of them. In addition to that, there were 21 red dots that were dark in color, and at a glance, they were rank 2 Silver Knights. The silver-armored knight at the head of the group had a scarlet red mane emanating from his body that was dazzling, giving people a shocking feeling.

Grim narrowed his eyes, his face overflowing with a fierce look.

3rd rank... finally running into the 3rd rank of the Envik Dimension!

Just like the regular army had always despised the local miscellaneous, Grim, who came from the Wizard World, also despised these low magical level peers in his heart.

Paladins? In the end, it's just a bunch of warriors with both magic and martial arts training!

In terms of flesh* physical combat, they couldn't compare to Alchemy Sorcerers; in terms of the use of elemental magic, they couldn't compare to Elemental Sorcerers. Only barely squeezing into the higher ranks with the bizarre addition of holy light, how could they possibly be on par with an orthodox sorcerer like themselves.

With twelve minutes of cold contempt and powerful confidence, Grim didn't manage to dodge, but rushed over against the group of holy knights.

As for the previously tracked Knife Katy, she had strangely gone nowhere after rushing into Harkans City.

Due to the vast and complicated scent of life within the city and the complex terrain, there were simply too many places to hide, so Grim wasn't able to continue tracking her down.

Muffled thunder rolled and hooves roared.

On the formerly leisurely and peaceful streets, frightened people scattered, ducking into a house and shop. And when Grim and Elemental Magic Armament stepped side by side on the spacious avenue of Harkans City that led straight to the Chapel of Holy Light, the thunderous and swift figure of the Holy Knights had just appeared on the other side of the street.

"In the name of the Holy Light... Knights, charge!"

"Charge!"

An earth-shattering and thorough roar and roar rose into the sky, and the Paladins who had adjusted their formation bellowed out a short holy prayer as they galloped their horses and raised their great double-edged swords high in the air.

"Valor!"

"Tough!"

"Brilliant!"

"Shelter!"

"........"

With a short, loud shout, a radiant and dazzling divine light began to surge through their bodies. Layer upon layer, nesting and blending with each other, making each and every one of them majestic and sacred to behold.

Grim, who was watching this scene with cold eyes, couldn't help but frown.

If it was just an illusory light and shadow effect, Grim wouldn't need to frown. With the chip's scanning and penetration, he perceived powerful magical energy in the divine light across the room.

Bravery was giving himself mind protection....

Toughness is giving yourself a medium magic resistance....

Brilliance, on the other hand, increases the strength, constitution, agility and spirit of the recipient across the board....

The Blessing even exempted the Paladins from the lethal blow effect....

........

Those ordinary and extremely ordinary 1st rank Black Iron Knights on the other side, their strength was originally not in Grim's eyes. But now, under the layers and layers of divine blessings, their base strengths had all begun to soar, rising to a point that made Grim chant a bit.

And those 2nd rank Silver Knights had even grown to a point where they were able to pose a threat to Grim.

But that wasn't all!

These holy knights had a terrifying group of divine enhancements in addition to their single divine enhancements.

The leader, the 3rd rank Gold Knight, shouted violently, his greatsword raised high in his hand, and a milky-white divine aura appeared beneath him, immediately putting another layer of brilliant holy light shields on all the holy knights.

Holy Blessing Art!

3rd Order Paladin Skill!

It was able to cause all Holy Knights within a 60 meter radius of the Sacred Aura to obtain a Sacred Light Shield with a defensive strength of 400 degrees.

And aside from that, that 3rd rank Gold Knight was chanting the Sacred Prayer aloud as he charged, and almost every battle technique he inspired was of a group nature.

Sacred Strike... it was plus Body and Blitz!

Holy Shock...this one adds strength and physical damage!

Dawn Holy Light...this one is reduced elemental damage!

........

To be honest, the hundreds of Holy Knights on the opposite side were charging while adding various types of divine protection to themselves and their teammates, and the brilliant light that rose up from the sky was simply capable of blinding the enemies on the opposite side.

When this group of Holy Knights charged from the opposite side, they were still a group of soft lambs in Grim's eyes, but when they reached the middle of the street, they had already turned into a group of fierce tigers armed to the teeth.

Grim's face finally changed in an unconcealable manner!

Because at this moment, the berserk breath that that 3rd rank Gold Knight was displaying had far overshadowed itself.

Name: Unknown

Gender: Male

Profession: Knight of Gold (3rd degree)

Base Attributes: Strength 34 Agility 16 Physique 35 Spirit 28

Seeing the enemy's data returned by the chip, Grim immediately had two heads.

After obtaining many divine blessings, this 3rd stage opponent had two of his basic attributes surpassed 30 points, the shock to Grim was indescribable.

It must be known that even Grim, an orthodox elemental sorcerer from the higher planes, only had one statistic that exceeded 30 points. This was still his body data that had skyrocketed after he transformed into a Terrifying Inferno, otherwise, the gap between his data and this 3rd stage Golden Knight would be even greater.

Damn it, mustn't fight this guy head on!

As soon as this thought surfaced in Grim's mind, the speed of his stride slowed down abruptly a little. The Elemental Demonic Armament that was advancing alongside him roared incessantly in front, spewing even more terrifying magical energy from the slits of its massive metal body.

With both sides fast approaching, the elemental fiend roared and suddenly launched a swift charge under the push of powerful magical energy, wrapped in a dazzling red mane, the steel fist with a fierce wind slammed into the golden knight.

The other party also shouted, the whole body wrapped in the intense to be unable to look at the divine aura, holding the great sword high and rising, fiercely struck the fist of the elemental magic weapon.

Thud....

A shocking and complete explosion, a circular energy shockwave spread out from the fist and sword encounter, instantly swirling the entire street and nearby creatures.

The Elemental Demonic Armament's massive body sank steeply, and the two metal legs thick as giant pillars silently disappeared into the blue stone slabs beneath their feet. The sound of blood spurting out of the Golden Knight's fully covered mask also rang out abruptly, shocking the man and his horse into skidding backwards.

The sturdy and thick hoofs of the horse rubbed out dazzling sparks of fire on the cobblestone slab, leaving four clear grooves.
