Amber Sword

Life, the domain of Martha.

A magnificent power swept across the entire battlefield in an instant, and everyone instinctively turned their heads to look in the direction where the white light was rising, feeling a thrill in their hearts. Another divine artifact—Williams felt the fragment of the Flame Blade on his body vibrating slightly, which was a resonance between divine artifacts. But the power of that artifact far surpassed the Flame Blade Odefis, as he could keenly sense the awe from the fragment of the Flame Blade—

He raised his head and happened to see Brand performing a spell for the second time. A white aura unfolded from the young man’s hand—wasn’t this guy a swordsman? That was what he thought, but in reality, Brand was demonstrating the mana cost of the Eternal Ball—its ability is to be tapped by paying 5 mana of any kind, to allow the next card entering play to provide a perfect duplicate.

Brand paid Five Water and then duplicated a Life Holy Scripture.

When two Life Holy Scriptures emerged above the battlefield, everyone’s mind went blank—Twin Relics!

Williams immediately sensed that something was off, although Brand had not yet launched an attack. But he roughly guessed the opponent’s profession—a Summoner, he clearly noticed that those two Artifact Books were summoned into the battlefield by Brand. Although he didn’t know what Brand intended to do, when even the preliminary summons were artifacts, could the subsequent means be weak?

This was the first time the Deputy Commander of the Holy Temple Knights felt that the battlefield was slipping out of his expectations. He could never have dreamed that a young man, merely in Elemental Manifestation, would have such a trump card.

A young Sword Saint under twenty years old, whose actual profession turned out to be a Summoner?

Is there any justice or law in this world? Would anyone believe it if you said it out loud?

At that moment, Brand happened to look up.

At that moment, he met Williams’ gaze as a Travel Mage, and the Deputy Commander of the Holy Temple Knights for the first time felt a deep fear. In those young eyes, he saw the imposing air of someone looking down upon everything, ruling supreme.

As if saying—

Are you ready?

"Stop him!" The fear in Williams’ heart surged, and he raised his longsword high, bringing it down with all his might.

That strike was like a light from the heavens. A line of golden-red cut through the rain curtain, surrounded by the Law Threads on the sword’s edge, smoothing the darkness like a deity’s hand, bringing the sword down. Half the sky was almost entirely turned into pure gold by the power of the Law Peak.

In that instant, Williams seemed to touch the boundary between life and death. The Spiral Peak suddenly grew above his head, and the Law Threads spread out in all directions like unfolding threads.

Then.

He saw the Extreme Plain.

A pure white expanse.

The Black Tower Wizard immediately noticed the peculiarity of that strike, as did Bunide. Although they couldn’t grasp the sense of extreme power after igniting the Element Points, Bunide felt the deep sense of trembling in the air—Williams advanced at such a crucial moment?

Is this even possible?

"Master Yashenwu! Teleport over! He’s going to kill Brand!" He suddenly grabbed the battlement of the black square tower, shouting to the left tower.

The Grey Robed Wizard hesitated for just an instant, then suddenly clapped his hand, and that black square tower vanished, reappearing in the path of Williams’ golden sword edge the next instant.

With a sizzling sound, like a hot knife cutting through butter, a swath of golden flames slashed diagonally through the center of the massive tower. In an instant, the tower, claimed to be indestructible, crumbled, and the Grey Robed Wizard on top scattered into the sky, flying toward the other giant towers.

And still, Williams’ golden sword flame pressed forward, seemingly untouched.

"Ah, Extreme Realm!" Bunide finally realized what had happened, his latter words stuck in his throat.

Williams suddenly opened his eyes, the expression in them calm, letting out a gentle breath. What a pity, he was just a bit short, but this strike truly reached the standard of the Extreme Realm. He quietly watched the line of golden law in the rain curving through the sky, closing in on the canopy, on the verge of striking Brand directly.

This is the power of the Extreme Realm.

But just at this moment.

Countless pure white Light Shields suddenly appeared in front of Brand, each precisely blocking Williams’ golden law line, deflecting the strongest strike in the history of the Deputy Commander of the Holy Temple Knights, as if a gentle hand smoothed over these scorching golden lines one by one.

In an instant, the golden flames enveloping half the sky were swallowed by darkness.

Not even a hair on Brand was harmed.

Brand still looked up at Williams, mouthing an answer to the endless questions in the eyes of this high-ranking figure of the temple: "Anrud’s Holy Ring, ten cost."

Anrud’s Holy Ring (Adversity Heaven X), 10 Light; [Spell——Instant]; Effect: Next attack is nullified. ’——Sanctuary——’

Williams’ hand froze completely in mid-air.

Almost everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
