Storm Rider Assault\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders pulled the reins, and the shrill cry of the griffin echoed across the deck. As a magical beast favored by the wind, a single flap of its wings carried Wenders away from the deck at high speed, soaring into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders spun his Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd. As the blade sliced through the air, a tangible cyan hurricane formed at his side, thick with magic power and flickering with thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous sounds occur when supernatural magic dimensions rub against the material world; this phenomenon is common in magic disaster airspaces or when a powerhouse of the Transcendent realm exerts their full strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive amount of magic power vaguely eroded the barrier between the two dimensions, and the piercing thunder made ordinary people tremble with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperial soldiers who had been standing behind Wenders panicked and crowded toward one side of the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The griffin beneath Wenders also created a whirlwind. It flapped its wings, continuously merging the magic whirlwind with the hurricane from the Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd, while the Wind-Gathering Gloves on Wenders' hands further amplified this effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient holy relic named the Wind-Chaser Holy Bell was drawing a massive amount of magic power for him that could easily be converted into a storm. His magic reserves were plentiful, and before long, several cyan-black Heavenly Demon hurricanes formed in the air outside the airship. They seemed to swallow all the surrounding light, making the clear morning sky look as if it were covered in dark clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as these winds struck the magic airship, its Transcendent-level surface defenses would disintegrate before long, turning it into scrap metal within the hurricane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah, Tier 7 equipment is truly impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot sighed and asked Li Ang: \"You provoked him directly, and he's using his full strength. Is that really okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Precisely because it is him, nothing he does will work. Don't move, listen to my instructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The several hurricanes outside the ship caused the airflow at the channel entrance to become chaotic. Many airships could not maintain their hover, and the Imperial warship beneath their feet was also drifting into the Ignis airspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders' red hair was tied in a ponytail, flying wildly in the air, truly possessing the aura of a demon god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised the Heavenly Demon Heavy Halberd, and a tightly coiled, rapidly spinning magic hurricane twisted like a whip, about to be lashed toward the deck by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An officer shouted in a hurry: \"Lord Finat, please show mercy—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of powerful supernatural forces, ordinary local soldiers had no way to imagine how to respond and could only plead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, cowards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders retracted the hurricane and swept his long halberd. The wild winds around him descended onto the deck all at once. They stood upright and swirled, not destroying the deck, but obliterating all the turrets, instruments, decorations, and railings on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Heavenly Demon hurricanes circled Li Ang and Lancelot, forming a formation of wild winds to restrict their movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Serpent, under Li Ang's command, coiled around the connecting cable between the ship's hull and the suspension device. Its defense was still at the Transcendent realm, so it avoided the wild winds that countered it whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, Wenders held his long halberd and steered the griffin into a rapid dive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot held a sword in his left hand and a gun in his right. As he swung his sword, he drew upon magic power to shape multiple blades that floated around the sword's body. Driven by magic, they swirled toward the hurricane while coordinating with rapid-fire flame bullets from his magic ammunition gun to destroy the hurricane rolling toward the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they only had time for this action before Wenders was already close by. It went without saying that when the impact arrived, they would be subjected to the dual attack of his heavy halberd and the swirling hurricane beside it, bringing devastating physical and magical damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver armor of the Order Sky Cavalry on Lancelot's body circulated magic power, constructing layers of metallic magic barriers on his skin. Visually, the young man was entirely wrapped in what looked like flowing silver metal, becoming a silver-armored knight with a slightly inhuman feel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While contemplating the direction to dodge, he prepared himself for the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half a step to the back right, then one step to the right,\" Li Ang said suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot immediately shifted his position. He had just arrived at the spot when the griffin's black wings brushed past his eyes, and Wenders' halberd blade carved a metallic scar into the deck. Using the force of the impact, he flew back into the high sky on the other side of the ship, dragging a thunderous whirlwind behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dodged it? Why!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot looked in surprise at Li Ang, who was standing at the same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was the one who helped him summarize this set of moves in the first place, so I know exactly where the flaws are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking across the airspace, Wenders' Tier 6 lancer status indeed qualified him as a powerhouse; otherwise, no matter how rich he was, he wouldn't have been able to join the elite team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there are gaps even among those of the same tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person had good talent, relied on a good background, received training from a young age, and used various precious materials to nourish his body, reaching Tier 6 in magic control. But in terms of combat thinking, there was still much room for improvement, and the professional skills he had mastered were not many; many were things he naturally learned due to his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he always felt he was already powerful enough and had family funding, so he stopped striving for improvement afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mainly because his team contribution was so high that Rams kept him. But if he held a pile of top-tier equipment and couldn't exert any combat power, Li Ang couldn't stand it. So, he almost forcibly compelled him to learn this ultimate move—Storm Rider Assault—which combined his professional advantages with his equipment, energy sources, and summoned creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using equipment to create highly destructive hurricanes to form a wind formation, some enemies would perish in the first wave of hurricanes, while stronger enemies would be trapped by the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he would charge while riding the griffin, trigger the hurricane to attack simultaneously upon impact, then fly into the sky to avoid counterattacks, and after circling, immediately follow up with another charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the ultimate move strategy Li Ang had organized for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders didn't need to do anything troublesome; in team battles, he just had to honestly attack where he was told, otherwise, he should focus on self-preservation—Li Ang had basically fed him the meal right to his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he also knew best where the weaknesses of this move lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wind formation was released, Wenders did not understand exquisite magic control and could not drive the direction of the hurricanes, so there would be gaps between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the angle from which the leader-level griffin could attack after circling was also limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intersection of the gaps in the wind formation and the griffin's attack blind spot was the absolute safe position, which Li Ang could calculate the moment Wenders launched his charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, turn around, take two steps back, four steps to the upper right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang strolled to the position, and Lancelot followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders' charge brushed past them again, and he let out a roar on the griffin's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang asked the Order Sky Knight beside him: \"That's roughly the rhythm, do you understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood,\" Lancelot nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He will return for five more charges. After that, the magic power within the several hurricanes will merge, creating a high-energy explosive wind cluster here. The power is not small, so you must knock him off the griffin within five times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, as long as the standing point is safe, although my destructive power isn't high enough, at most three times... no, two times, I will definitely drag him down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will strengthen you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders' third charge arrived. Lancelot reached the new safe point, and the magic power from his standard energy source surged into his magic gun. Dense flame bullets like raindrops burst out, drawing a curtain of fire in front of the charge path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lancer swung his heavy halberd forward to shatter the flame bullets, so the momentum of the charge suddenly decreased. Lancelot stood firmly, exerted force from his waist, and slashed rapidly with his short sword. Multiple blades, aided by the momentum of Wenders' own collision, slashed continuously at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gorgeous Skywalker armor was wrapped in an invisible, tangible air shield. The sword slashes made muffled sounds and did not break through the defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders charged into the sky, circled, and prepared to launch his fourth attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he also realized he might not be able to win. Desperately mobilizing his magic power to the limit, the Wind-Chaser Holy Bell hanging at his waist shone with a brilliant cyan light, as bright as the morning star in the dim sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The griffin dived down, and the thick magic power in front rotated into a drill-like destructive wind pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang shouted to the Holy Serpent: \"Xiao An, Gem Ray! Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Serpent, which could already understand human speech, had starlight flash in its eyes. The red, blue, and green gem lights bloomed into a cross, and the gem energy bands flashed rapidly. In the dim sky, the scorching red flame light around its body scared the soldiers on the deck into retreating in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die, you two bastards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders' roar and the griffin's screech arrived instantly, accompanied by thunder and wind. Li Ang cast Spiritual Activation on Lancelot, causing his spiritual energy to surge and grow. The flame bullet barrage was as dense as rain, continuously weakening the whirlwind in front of the griffin, but it was still not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the connecting cable to the side, the gem on the Earth Serpent's energy-conducting scale crown flickered and synchronized. A crimson cross-star light pierced through the gloom and collided with the charging griffin. It refracted the magic power into flame energy, and no matter how agile the wind elements were, they were burned away by the flames in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was a weakened Star Soul attack, the Creation Equation seemed to provide endless energy. The excellent air shield created by Wenders' Tier 7 wind-type equipment was worn away bit by bit, burning out several gaps, and he himself was forced to lose his balance by the high temperature and shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot's multiple blades followed one after another. Amplified by the enhancement spell, his blades doubled in number, stacking over a dozen slashes in an instant, knocking the red-haired man off his saddle. He fell onto the deck in a heap, and the Heavenly Demon hurricane he controlled weakened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame ray swept across the deck. The hurricane, having lost its support, no longer had the power to shake the barrier between the magic and material dimensions and was ignited, weakened, and scattered by the flow of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gem ray retracted, and the remaining flames were blown away by the high-altitude wind. The Holy Serpent's crown hissed and emitted heat due to the high temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders' hair tips were scorched in many places, and although his equipment was fine, the surface was blackened quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his griffin didn't fly back into the sky, crashing onto the deck and rolling several times. Its feathers were also burned away, and its previous fierce momentum was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot sheathed his sword, walked toward Wenders, who was lying on the ground, and laughed: \"Your summoned beast is too fierce, right? I'm embarrassed to even bring out my wyvern.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders propped himself up, was tied up by Lancelot, and his expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bastards! You can't capture me! I'm here because I'm an Imperial citizen! It has nothing to do with the team!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, got it, we'll talk slowly when we get back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot was long accustomed to prisoners making excuses when caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled at Li Ang: \"Phew, that was close.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his voice trailed off, the roar of an engine approached from below. The suspension device above a magic airship suddenly rose above the ship's railing. Once the decks were level, it was filled with fully armed soldiers standing in battle formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them were several powerhouses wearing Transcendent equipment, with magic rhythms pulsing around their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are there reinforcements?\" Lancelot sighed: \"The strongest one is already here; no matter how many come, it's useless, it just tires me out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders said: \"Below is my family's territory. We are about to form an alliance with other lords to become a backbone force for the Empire's rise! The Empire doesn't just have ordinary soldiers. Do you know what you are about to face?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang said: \"You are a member of an elite team, yet you believe the Empire can rise. What power have they mastered?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders hummed twice and stopped talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down from the railing, they could see that they were currently hovering above a large island. The layout of its edge area showed that this was a bustling airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Spark Port, we've drifted here,\" Lancelot said: \"During the battle just now, this guy was deliberately using wind to push us into the Ignis airspace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenders blew a whistle, and his griffin and the soldiers on the side ship launched an attack together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot threw out a Magic-Sealing Cage. This metal ball, which looked like a sachet, sprayed out magic smoke. A large wyvern with a wingspan of about ten meters, covered in cyan feathers, flapped its wings and flew out, pouncing on the griffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Serpent slithered down from the connecting cable and savagely broke into the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang stepped forward to help the young man hold Wenders down, his hand quickly brushing across the latter's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've got him, you go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2372,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3c256a7c3842acf5c3d1fd92ca54e2007d826295dcef2c94875724225c4c0698","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-52","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-50",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
