Chapter 49: Task Completed! Bountiful Harvest!

“Snap.”

Mo En landed back on the ground, firmly stepping on the shattered floor.

He turned to look at Ailiga’er, the man lying on the ground, spitting blood uncontrollably.

Ailiga’er struggled to rise, but could not support himself—he collapsed back onto his knees.

【Ding! The Pegasus constellation map has been activated!】

【Ding! The exclusive skill of the Pegasus Bronze Saint Armor has been unlocked!】

【Ding! Task “The God of Death’s Fury” completed!】

Task progress: Defeat “God of Death” Ailiga’er (completed)

Claim task reward?】

As Ailiga’er was cleanly knocked to his knees and rendered combat-ineffective, the Saint Fighter System spewed out a cascade of prompts, the “ding-ding-ding” sounds never ceasing.

The task to defeat the "God of Death" Ailiga'er was successfully completed, and not a single precious "Royal Magic Palace Rose" was used—truly commendable.

“Claim task reward.”

Mo En did not hesitate—he immediately selected to claim it.

【Congratulations! Skill “Empty Hands Catch Blade” has been unlocked!】

The skill acquisition interface was far simpler than the armor unlock—no flashy effects, just a plain pop-up window.

After the window appeared, knowledge related to the skill flooded directly into Mo En’s mind, causing a sharp pain in his temples.

“Empty Hands Catch Blade: One of the ultimate techniques of the Pegasus Bronze Saint, Dragon Shiryu, originating from Chinese martial arts—it allows one to seize and disarm an opponent’s weapon while unarmed.”

The knowledge tied to “Empty Hands Catch Blade” surfaced in Mo En’s mind—he finally remembered which technique this was.

“Isn’t this the legendary ability where Dragon Shiryu, even after being knocked to his knees, still catches the Golden Saint’s sword with his bare hands?!”

Recalling that scene, Mo En instantly grew excited.

What is a “Saint Sword”?

It is a weapon of destruction, said to be capable of severing all things after reaching ultimate cultivation!

Most crucially, the “Saint Sword” is not a real “sword”—it is a “hand blade,” using one’s own limbs and body as weapons!

Yes, this skill called “Empty Hands Catch Blade” can catch even a “hand blade”—and completely ignores the Saint Sword’s power!

This is undoubtedly a conceptual-level divine technique—the true pinnacle of martial arts. When mastered to its extreme, it reverses the outcome: “100% chance to catch the blade.”

【Empty Hands Catch Blade · Beginner, Proficiency: 0/500】

Of course, Mo En did not receive a max-level divine technique—achieving Shiryu’s level would require diligent, grueling practice.

If he mastered this technique, any enemy wielding a weapon would be instantly at a disadvantage against him.

No way around it—battle begins, and the first move is “Disarm!”

Who could withstand that?

Erza must already be chilled to the bone.

Erza: Shit—he’s coming for me!

For Mo En, this technique felt almost tailor-made for Erza—among the enemies he’d faced, few used close-range weapons.

Take Ailiga’er here—he held a massive scythe, but his primary attacks were still “Elemental Magic · Wind.” The scythe was more like a prop for his “God of Death” cosplay.

But that didn’t matter—this skill might not be used now, but it must be kept. And once used, it would absolutely turn the tide of battle!

Mo En was extremely satisfied with this conceptual-level divine technique, then checked the changes to his Pegasus Bronze Saint Armor.

Just now, he had finally established a stable connection with the Pegasus constellation in the stars—this connection unleashed tremendous magical power, directly crushing the formidable Ailiga’er.

After establishing this stable connection, Mo En gained numerous new abilities, manifesting in every aspect.

Now, Mo En continuously absorbed faint starlight from Pegasus, enhancing and restoring his magic without meditation.

In battle, he could now more easily draw upon stellar magical power—the amount drawn directly correlated with his emotion and battle intent.

Most crucially, the Pegasus Bronze Saint Armor had unlocked an exclusive skill.

This skill could only be used while wearing the Pegasus Bronze Saint Armor—until Mo En himself mastered it.

“Supernova Burst”—this was the Pegasus’s exclusive skill, an extremely violent ability built on “win or die.” Using it consumed massive magic—if it failed to end the fight instantly, the user would be left defenseless.

“Equivalent to gaining a final card: ‘Die with the Heavens and Earth.’”

Mo En labeled this technique—he would not use it as an opening move unless absolutely desperate, but as a finishing blow, it was viable.

“Snap! Stay down! Don’t move!”

While Mo En was lost in examining his bounty, Ma Kaou and Wa Kaba had already taken control of Ailiga’er—one on each side.

Ailiga’er was no weakling—his abilities were unique and well-developed; most people would struggle to defeat him, and even if they won, they might not be able to capture him.

Unfortunately, Ailiga’er met Mo En, who was desperate to complete his task—he was knocked to his knees in an instant. That he wasn’t killed on the spot already proved his skill; Mo En, eager to claim the kill, had unleashed terrifying magical power.

With the humiliating defeat of the guild master Ailiga’er, the newly risen dark guild “Iron Forest” was officially declared destroyed.

“Incredible! Mo En, that move was so cool! It got my blood pumping! That’s the real way a man fights!”

Jo Yi Fuerbang, shirtless and covered in muscle, rushed over, enthusiastically showering Mo En with praise.

Jo Yi, who called himself the “Ultra-Muscle Mage,” adored Mo En’s fighting style—knocking enemies to their knees with bare fists was the ultimate, most manly way to fight!

But Mo En had no attention for Jo Yi now—after all members of “Iron Forest” were captured, the Saint Fighter System popped up again, revealing a strange task settlement panel.

【Ding! Hidden task completed!】

【Task Name: “LULLABY”】

【Task Content:】

The guild master of the dark guild “Iron Forest,” nicknamed “God of Death” Ailiga’er, plotted a sinister scheme—he intended to use the collective curse magic “LULLABY” to assassinate the guild masters of magical guilds!】

Stop him! Do not let his plan succeed!】

Task progress: Prevent “God of Death” Ailiga’er’s assassination plot (completed)】

Task reward: Skill Experience Book.】

Claim task reward?】

“Collective curse magic? LULLABY? Assassinate guild masters?”

Mo En stared in shock—he had no idea Ailiga’er was this dangerous! He was plotting such a sinister scheme?!
