Helmet of the Divine Eye\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as planned, Li Ang was responsible for retrieving the equipment from Wenders. The latter had originally planned to have a specialist carry the gear for him, still maintaining some level of caution, but Li Ang had basically mapped out the structure of the Count's mansion in the dead of night and found the person in charge; this morning, he had blended into the crowd and tailed this person the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the church, as long as Dorothy cooperated, they would not only successfully incite a commotion but also restrain Wenders, whom they intended to capture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Count left, the Annihilation Knight appeared as expected, with Lancelot lurking nearby, waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the spiritual activation applied to Lancelot, the young man’s aura surged. The metallic protective layer shaped by the standard silver armor transformed into a dense, multi-layered structure, and his entire being seemed enveloped in a set of flowing, transcendent silver armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Annihilation Knight’s greatsword swept across with dark thunder; Lancelot dodged agilely, the outer layer of his silver armor scraped off only to immediately re-condense. As long as he wasn't struck directly, he remained safe and sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several attacks proved ineffective, the Annihilation Knight stomped on the spot, and strange magic power condensed rapidly; black lightning converged toward the front of the Divine Eye helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's about to unleash his ultimate technique!\" Lancelot shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversation last night, the young man had said that the reason he was injured by the Annihilation Knight was precisely because he had been caught in the roar emitted by the knight’s strange magic power and the superhuman physique of the Horned Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even being caught in the wake of the energy wave would cause one to temporarily lose the ability to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang did not rely on the equipment he was wearing to release wind-type spells. In previous skirmishes, he had discovered that even if wind elements were driven into the gaps of that hellish armor to attack the knight’s body, the body, reinforced by the so-called Annihilator flesh, was like that of a non-human; it felt no pain and would be repaired by that tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this was the moment he had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimate Technique—Spirit Turmoil!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic power dispersed into the surrounding space, and all spirits entered a state of loss of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot withdrew from the area, and the spirit turmoil zone enveloped the Annihilation Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Annihilation Knight’s process of condensing magic power suddenly stalled. His body twisted, and purple biological tissue surged out from the gaps in his armor, no longer able to maintain the magic power required to launch the destructive roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange magic power exploded in front of the knight into a mass of dark purple light waves. As the deafening sound rang out, the expanding shockwave shattered the stained-glass windows of the entire church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Annihilation Knight knelt on one knee, trembling; the counterattack had only just begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot crossed his sword and gun, unleashing his ultimate technique—Rainstorm Assault. The spiritually activated multi-edged sword split into metallic floating blades like raindrops, piercing into the gaps of the Annihilation Knight’s armor and directly slashing at the uncontrolled purple tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His other hand held a hand-cannon, spraying water-element magic bullets; they caused extreme cold in the manner of ice while simultaneously sealing the knight’s movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Li Ang, the Earth Serpent reared its head, its energy-conducting scale-crown flashing with gems continuously. The gem rays refracted into a torrential ice stream, which, combined with Lancelot’s attack, almost completely froze the Annihilation Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang gained wind-element affinity from his current gauntlets. Under his direction, the Wind of Pure Magic tore through the dimensional membrane, and with the sound of thunder, it carried out violent, multiple cuts against the frozen black-armored knight. The wind-element constructs were in their element, circling within this howling wind and amplifying its power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This series of attacks was not a blind bombardment of energy, but intentionally targeted the strange flesh tissue on the Annihilation Knight; after being affected by the spiritual turmoil, they were many times more fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the combined assault of the two people and the serpent, the purple tissue could finally no longer maintain its hold on the knight, falling to the ground in chunks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ughhhhhhh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more that fell off, the more painful it was for the knight. Finally, with a scream that sounded almost like a hellish demon, black-purple light erupted from his entire body, and his physical form turned into a pile of drifting residue and dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got him!\" Lancelot let out a long breath. \"To think this guy would dissipate when he died—what the hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two-and-a-half-meter-tall, sturdy body turned entirely into fly ash. The spiked black armor decomposed into pieces of sharp metal, but it had completely lost its spirituality, as had the greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A pity, you didn't get any loot,\" Lancelot said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang stepped forward and picked up the Annihilation Knight’s helmet: \"This one seems different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This helmet, branded with a dark golden giant eye, still retained all its spirituality. Aside from that purple flesh, this was the most miraculous part of the Annihilation Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at its panel, Li Ang frowned, feeling a sense of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Helmet of the Divine Eye]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A faceless dark helmet; a third party cannot comprehend how one sees while wearing it. Only the user understands after putting it on: as long as one can see the rhythm of spirits, the essence of the world is within their eyes. — \"We do not need eyes; the eyes of God will see the path ahead for us.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Rank: 7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Category: Helmet]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Defense Mode: Pure Magic Metal Construction]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Equipment Skill: Hyper-Sense Vision]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See the rhythm of spirits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he, a Rank 9 Spellcaster with spiritual affinity, could only perceive them deeply; he could not speak of \"seeing\" them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill: Hyper-Sense Vision]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Activation Method: Wear the Helmet of the Divine Eye]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Displays the laws and activities of spirits in the eyes; this ability is exactly what a manipulator of spirituality should possess.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put on the helmet, and the world of the past immediately peeled away before his eyes. The world of spirits, which had previously only existed within his perception, was presented in its entirety through visualization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world was originally divided into the natural dimension composed of matter and the supernatural dimension composed of magic power. Spirits resided within matter and were a part of the material world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Hyper-Sense Vision was like \"blocking\" the observation of matter, allowing him to see only the spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because all things have spirits, he only needed to adapt appropriately. Putting on this helmet, which had no observation slits, did not make him blind; one could even say he had leaped to a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, let's go, lest there be complications.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot patted Li Ang on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back to his senses, Li Ang put away the helmet and stepped onto the planned breakout path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a rare moment of distraction for him; it concerned his profession, which he had practiced for many years. He had originally only intended to take a casual look, but because it was so subversive to his past knowledge, he had been stunned for a moment longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this short while had no impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Annihilation Knight, Spark Port could not form an effective blockade. The three of them, with Wenders in tow, arrived at the small aristocratic port. There were people here rushing to prepare for departure, not knowing if they were afraid of the chaos and preparing to flee, or if they were acting under the Count's orders to get the ships out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy, her dress fluttering, led the way to her small boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler, Hofu, was guarding it with soldiers. Dorothy smiled at the old butler she had known for years, and a Magic Life Vine swept out, clearing all the soldiers to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Lady—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy passed by the butler without even a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her rainbow-colored pupils, there was only the clear blue sky ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship set sail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The internal combustion engine provided basic power, and the magic array blew out a current of wind. The small boat flew into the clear sky, sailing away from Spark Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Ang, wearing the Helmet of the Divine Eye, clearly saw the fire spirits leaping within the internal combustion engine's cylinders and the spirits drawing magic power within the materials used to draw the magic array. He exerted his spiritual manipulation, making the latter more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the magic array received stronger magic power, releasing a powerful wind that pushed the small boat forward rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa—hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ship suddenly accelerated. Dorothy exclaimed with laughter; she did not notice anything unusual, thinking only that Li Ang had released magic, and happily welcomed the clouds drifting by quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Li Ang knew that, relying on this helmet, he could perform spiritual manipulation more precisely and concretely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eye of God... what exactly is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were wearing that helmet just now; did you discover anything?\" Lancelot asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll tell you after we're out of danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still a battle ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small boat drew closer and closer to the entrance of the shipping lane. The people on the boat could see that, across the intense aerial wind wall, a large number of ships from the Floss airspace were stranded outside the entrance to the other side of the lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blocking the route was an Imperial Magic-Guided Airship, and standing silently on the deck was a black knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll go over; you take the ship further away,\" Li Ang said to Dorothy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of worry appeared in the young girl's beautiful eyes: \"Can't we just destroy his ship and let him fall to the bottom of the sky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's difficult against a powerhouse of this strength. Before his ship is destroyed, he would have time to use a burst of magic power to jump onto our ship. This boat cannot withstand our battle; we might end up in danger ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy turned the helm, and Li Ang used a flight spell to leave the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When wearing the equipment he had allocated to Wenders, his own body weight was halved. With wind control plus a flight spell, soaring in the air for a period of time was not a problem at all, while Lancelot was carried over by a wind-element construct he created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two landed on the deck. The second Annihilation Knight turned around; he was also a member of the Horned Clan, looking even more burly and robust. He did not use a greatsword, but a giant axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he turned, he had already drawn a giant axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lancelot sighed: \"This guy is even fiercer. If the previous one had used an axe, I would have been split in two last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, I counter him. Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, a sharp blade flew across the sky at an angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blade was diamond-shaped, with no handle for anyone to hold. As soon as it appeared, the sunlight of the clear sky seemed to be absorbed into it; the blade of light seemed capable of slicing through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade light flashed, and the Annihilation Knight’s Hell-Blade Armor split open in response. Black blood splattered onto the deck in a cone shape, and the horrific wounds that were cut open were glued back together by the wriggling purple tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, more diamond-shaped blades flew over from the sky, and with continuous flashes of blade light, the entire set of black armor was almost completely cut into scrap metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ooh—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Annihilation Knight growled, scanning his surroundings. His armor had been shredded by the attack, yet he hadn't even seen the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah.\" Lancelot lost his fighting spirit: \"This guy is a goner, but I might be a goner too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light, high-pitched voice, sounding like the cry of a Luan bird, came from behind Li Ang and Lancelot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lancelot, how long has it been since I left? The Ignis airspace has been turned into such a mess. You bunch of small-fry members are truly disgraceful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the azure sky, a petite and cute girl of the Bean Clan stood in the air, her finely-laced sleeves and skirt fluttering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her features were like those of a cute, naive young girl of another race, but her brows and eyes conveyed an innate nobility that made one afraid to underestimate her. Her long hair was like flowing gold, and hair ornaments shaped like blades pulled her hair behind her ears, revealing a beautiful jawline and delicate, pointed ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pair of sky-blue eyes were not gentle; they seemed to hide the sharpness of countless blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So annoying. A small-fry like this can block the shipping lane, and you bunch of small-fry were dragged down inside the airspace. This one is a small-fry, that one is a small-fry; I'm going to have a pile of extra work later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic power around her body moved the diamond-shaped blades dancing in the sky; they were all pure magic material weapons created directly by magic power in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flying blades became more and more numerous, until they formed a sword array, surrounding the Annihilation Knight and gathering to strangle him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how bizarre the purple tissue was, in an attack that felt like being slashed by dozens of swordsmen in an instant, he was directly cut into countless fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fallen purple tissue still carried black sparks and tried to twitch, but after being swept over again by the sharp blade, it could only turn into fly ash and dissipate in the high-altitude wind. Only the Helmet of the Divine Eye fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon narrowed his eyes; in front of a true powerhouse, a \"Paladin\" in the top ten of the individual rankings, the Empire's products were indeed not enough to look at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Miss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Langsilo smiled bitterly, and catching sight of Leon out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to remember something, rushing over to press down on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person you wanted has been caught for you, to make up for my past mistakes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2393,"2026-06-21T01:23:38.712Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","894d8d24b858676024f63314ae8710cfddfedd19e86bd6019bfc797232b70128","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-75","kicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-chapter-73",496,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fkicked-out-of-the-party-then-i-picked-up-a-probl-cover.jpg"]
