Chapter 121: 121 Transcendent (Up) 1

The night was cool as water; the silver moon was sharp as a sword.

When a dazzling arcane missile punctured the pitch-black sky, the Half-Elf Palace instantly erupted into chaos.

From a bird’s eye view, one could see the Silver Moon Guards, who were originally stationed at the east and south gates of the palace, suddenly reversing their spears and charging into the palace.

Caught off guard, these two units met little resistance, charging through like two fire dragons, unstoppable, right outside the inner court of the palace.

Here, they finally encountered tenacious resistance mounted by the Palace Guards.

“Woo

The piercing sound of the horn echoed above the palace, instantly awakening the entire city of Silver Moon.

The Garden City, which boasts of never being captured, was now unable to escape the calamity of war.

“Bang!”

Colin pushed open the palace doors, lifted up the huge coffin, and strode out.

At this time, a thousand guards of the St Hilde family had already assembled on the order of Sir Knight.

Colin looked around at the crowd and echoed loudly, “Tonight, our only mission is to guard Lady Vera!”

“Guard Lady Vera! ”

“Guard Lady Vera!”

The guards, pounding on their breastplates, sent sound waves echoing through the sky, unending.

“Charge!”

As soon as Colin gave the command, the thousand-man team charged towards the south gate of the palace.

Since the Silver Moon Guards in this direction had already defected, they met with hardly any resistance on their way.

But after leaving the palace gate, they ran into a Half-Elf Guard unit that came to support the palace.

Due to a delay in information transmission, the Silver Moon Guards on the opposing side were completely unaware of what had happened in the palace. They had only heard the call for help from the military horn and hence rushed here.

So naturally, they thought the horn was sounded for them, and they promptly drew their swords to fight.

“Charge!”

Sir Knight roared with fury, leading the charge.

Although the Half-Elf Guard unit had superior numbers, this race was not known for their martial prowess. The so-called Silver Moon Guards were merely for show and had not experienced many brutal battles.

How could they compare to the North Territory army that had literally fought their way through blood and fire?

Moreover, due to Vera’s “death,” the St. Hilde Guard unit could be considered a “grieving army”. They had long been itching to ignite a bloodbath in Silver Moon City, but Colin had been vigilant in suppressing this.

And now, after Colin had completely released this beastly bridle, these St. Hilde family guards, who probably had already prepared themselves for death, charged crazily towards the Half-Elf Guards.

Therefore, the battle was fierce from the outset, and the narrow palace gate instantly turned into a bloody meat mill.

Colin did not rush to join the fight, but stood at the rear with the coffin on his shoulder, observing the situation on the battlefield.

At the same time, he kept searching for high-ranking knights among the Half-Elf soldiers.

According to the information provided by Kathy, the Half-Elf Kingdom did not have any fifth-rank knights, the highest was the fourth-rank.

Don’t think the fourth-rank is not high. In fact, compared to the previous third-rank, the fourth-rank implied a qualitative difference.

The professions in this world can be divided into nine ranks according to their power, but every three ranks represent a significant checkpoint.

Like breaking through the sixth rank is stepping into the Holy Field, and it is rumored that breaking through the ninth rank, one can become a god!

Similarly, after breaking through the third rank, one is generally considered “transcendent,” and a professional’s power will undergo a qualitative change at this time.

From this name, it can be seen that professionals above the third rank are no longer considered ordinary humans.

If it is possible to challenge above one’s rank before the third rank, but once one enters the fourth rank and crosses a major checkpoint, such miraculous events basically don’t occur.

If ordinary people below the fourth rank want to kill a transcendent, there is only one possibility – to pile up with human lives!

Professionals above the fourth rank are not gods, their energy and strength will run out. As long as their fighting power is worn down with lives, they can naturally be defeated.

For this very reason, when Colin found that he had covertly drunk the fresh blood of the Knight of Terude, yet had not been elevated to the fourth rank, he was not particularly surprised.

It would probably take more blood to cross over to this big level.

However, as Colin looked around, he found that there seemed to be no fourth-level knights in the half-elf guards in front of him…

Yet, while Colin felt a touch disappointed, he swiftly sensed a threat instinctively.

Without much thought, he quickly tossed the coffin from his hand and did a quick roll.

Boom!

In an instant, a loud noise erupted, and the ground where Colin had stood was blasted open by a golden light.

Then, a massive white figure dressed in thick, solid armor, shield in left hand, and spear in the right, charged towards Colin like a tank.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid the thundering footfall, the earth seemed to tremble.

Colin looked back, his face instantly turning white with fear as the colossal silhouette of the enemy completely enveloped him.

Without thinking Colin counter-attacked, thrusting his sword towards the gap in the armor around the knight’s neck.

Clang!

The Blade of Judgement was swiftly knocked away.

Colin was carried by the enormous force from the sword, smashing fiercely into the wall beside the palace gate.

Yet, he didn’t seem to be significantly injured. He got up without a word and bolted towards the Knight of Terude.

As expected, the gap between the fourth and third ranks was simply too large; the fight was impossible.

Colin sprinted like mad, but the armoured knight behind him was not slow. It seemed he knew Colin’s identity and understood that the best strategy was to capture the leader first. He was determinedly pursuing Colin.

Along the way, the guards of the St. Hilde family hurriedly moved forward to try and rescue Colin, but they were brushed off like flies by the half-elf armored knight.

Finally, the Knight of Terude noticed the situation with Colin and hastily abandoned his front-facing enemies, preparing to rush back to rescue him.

The half-elf armored knight seemed to realize the danger, and kicked the ground hard with both feet.

Boom!

The earth exploded in an instant, and fragments of rocks and soil flew all around.

That half-elf armoured knight transformed into a beam of golden light and directly smashed into Colin’s back.

“Puh!”

Colin felt as if he’d been hit by a truck, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Ding!

A long spear rested on Colin’s breastplate.

The half-elf armored knight lifted his facemask, revealing a square and majestic face.

“Viscount Angler, please order your subordinates to stop resisting. Our Modewen family does not mean to…”

Hiss!

A dagger slid through the armor’s gap and pierced the side of the half-elf knight’s waist.

He yelled in pain, shouting angrily, “Ignorant fool!”

Seeing Colin still resisting, the half-elf knight did not hesitate. He pushed down his spear, piercing Colin’s chest.

“Viscount!” Seeing this, the Knight of Terude screamed and charged.

The half-elf knight was preparing to free himself from Colin to face the Knight of Terude, only to discover that Viscount Angler – who should have been dead – suddenly laughed and lunged at him!

The half-elf knight was horrified as his soul scattered. He frantically wielded his long spear while trying to break free from Colin’s hug.

But, Colin’s hands were tightly wrapped around the half-elf knight. He roared: “Come on! I’m ready to fight to the death!”
